Chapter 231 The Rich Lead the Poor [3600]
Suddenly got robbed.
Lu Yang's aunt was even stunned for a moment.
I can just sit at home and someone can snatch my money from my hands. Who can I complain to?
She reacted quickly and almost fell to the ground, throwing a tantrum. It was her son Lu Youli who stole her money, and she, as a mother, was embarrassed to throw a tantrum in front of her son.
"Hey, my money, you little bastard, give it back to me."
She looked like she wanted to eat someone.
"Don't take it."
Lu Youzhi said stubbornly.
In the entire Lu family, if we were to say who has the most no bottom line, it would be the fifth son, Lu Youli. But if we were to say who is the most mischievous and the one who disobeys his parents the most, it would be the sixth son, Lu Youzhi.
"You, you little bastard, your father just died and you dare not listen to your mother, right? Are you going to take it back or not?"
"If you say you won't take it, then don't take it."
Seeing that moving out her recently deceased partner was useless, Lu Yang's aunt was almost furious, but looking at her tall and strong son in front of her, she could do nothing.
"Okay, little bastard, you don't want to take it, right?"
Lu Yang's aunt took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
Decided to avoid this unfilial son.
This unfilial son has been disobedient since he was young. His second sister is the most obedient. He can just ask his second sister and brother-in-law for it directly.
"Second brother, you are the elder sister, don't learn from this brat, come, give the money to mom.
Mom will take you to the hospital and give it to your brother and sister-in-law as medical expenses. We in the Lu family must unite. It’s right to listen to mom.”
After saying that, he came over to get the money. Which pocket did the money go in? She could see it clearly.
"Mother, I..."
Lu Yang's second cousin stuttered for a moment.
Deep down, she certainly didn't want to do that.
These eight dollars may not be a big deal for my older brother and his younger brothers.
But for her, the man in her family is actually a nice and honest person, but his family is a little poor and the place they live in is a little remote. Compared with Huai Village, it is less than two or three kilometers away from the town and less than ten kilometers away from the county center.
Where is the place where she got married?
That place is called Xiaojia Chong. Since it is called Chong, it must be very remote. It is farther away from the county town than from here to the city. There is no road. The only gravel road only leads to the town.
Then from the town to their Xiaojia Chong, they have to walk on the mountain road for at least ten hours and cross two mountains before they can get home.
Under such conditions, it is really difficult to leave home.
It is conceivable that where can one make money in that place?
Her man is quite strong, but what good is that?
There's nowhere to use it!
Apart from spending money on the bed, the only money left was in the soil. He got up early and went to bed late every day, facing the loess and digging for food in the fields. At the end of the year, after paying the public grain tax, there was only enough millet to feed the old and young in the family so that they would not starve to death. If he wanted cash, he could not find much.
The eight or nine yuan in her hand was the money she had saved up last winter when her husband went to the mountains to trap pheasants and rabbits and dig winter bamboo shoots.
She had originally planned to use the money to buy some farm tools, pesticides, seeds, etc. in the city when she went out of the mountains and take them back to the mountains. But now she suddenly has to hand them all over to her brother and sister-in-law. How could she be willing to do that?
For a moment, the expression was pleading.
Lu Yang's second brother-in-law, an honest and fawning farmer, was about to say: How about five dollars?
Keep three dollars and buy a few bags of vegetable seeds, a few bottles of pesticide, and a hoe. It is enough for them to explain when they go back. Anyway, they are in a cave in the mountains and don't need much cash.
They all dig for food in the soil, or seek food from the mountains. As long as they don't starve to death, it's fine.
But before he could open his mouth, he reached into his pocket for the money.
Lu Youzhi had already held him down.
"Sister, brother-in-law, don't listen to mom. That bastard Lu Youli is rich. He works for our cousin, and the couple operate a sewing machine together. Their combined salary in the past few months is at least over a thousand. Although I am not in charge of finance, I am the manager of the factory and I know this very well. It's just a matter of hospitalization for the birth of a son. There is no need for your money. Keep it and give me the money.
And brother-in-law, don't you want to go to town to have a look? Buy seeds, pesticides, or fertilizers? I'll take you there in the factory car.
Let’s go, let’s go now and stop listening to mom nagging here.”
he is very angry.
I want to curse, even at this moment.
It is true that a family should be fair, and it seems to be right.
Take the example of the bastard wife of the fifth brother Lu Youli who was hospitalized for premature birth.
My eldest brother and his wife received 20 yuan in consolation money.
The third brother and his future sister-in-law also combined to take 20 yuan in consolation money.
So, as close relatives, such as sisters and brothers-in-law, should they also give out 20 yuan in consolation money?
On the surface, there is nothing wrong with the logic.
But from Lu Youzhi's point of view, it's fucking bullshit, can it be the same?
Can people be the same?
How much money do you earn a month?
How much do my third brother and future sister-in-law earn per month together?
What about my second sister and brother-in-law? How much can they earn per month?
There's no comparison.
It's too damn far apart.
Last year and the year before, the eldest brother could only do odd jobs, and the third brother couldn't even do odd jobs. On the contrary, the second brother-in-law lived off the mountains. Because of its remoteness, there was an abundance of game in the mountains, and there was always a reward when going into the mountains. Unlike their Shanghuai Village, only experienced hunters could get something when going into the mountains. If you were not an experienced hunter, there was a high possibility that you would return empty-handed.
But since the second half of last year, when my cousin got married, he seemed like a different person. He went to Shanghai, returned to his hometown to set up a factory, helped build roads in the village, and made money with his brothers and himself. Everyone's life suddenly became better.
I almost forgot the days when we could only eat salty pickled vegetables.
Twenty dollars?
It seemed like it suddenly became less valuable.
Just take it if you say so.
But what is the reality? My second sister and her husband may not even earn 20 yuan a year. Why?
Mr. and Mrs. Lu Youli operate a sewing machine, but they earn more than two or three hundred yuan a month. Isn't that much more than my second sister and brother-in-law?
If it was only 1 yuan, he would not have said anything. In the countryside, when sisters-in-law have babies, the uncles and elders do have the custom of giving red envelopes to the children. But judging from the expressions of his parents, it was obvious that they wanted the second sister and brother-in-law to follow the example of the eldest and third brothers and get money. It was obvious that they had emptied the pockets of the second sister and brother-in-law, but they still felt it was not enough and had a look of disgust on their faces.
How could he bear it?
The reason why he didn't jump up and curse her was because she was his own mother. Even if he was disrespectful to the elderly, he had to give her some face.
money?
Bah, according to him, my second sister and brother-in-law should not take a penny.
He pushed his second brother-in-law out the door, and seeing that his second sister was still in a daze, he pulled her over.
Half push and half give.
Her second sister and second brother-in-law were reluctant to part with the eight or nine dollars in the first place, and with the support of her sixth brother, they simply pretended to be deaf and dumb and followed him.
Lu Yang's aunt was so angry that she chased out of the room, stomping her feet and cursing.
Lu Yang almost died of joy.
I secretly gave Lu Youzhi a thumbs up.
This kid is okay and should be given some treatment. Now that his uncle is dead, his aunt has become a little lawless.
No one cares anymore.
"Wait, your sister doesn't pay, but what about you? You're so rich, why don't you pay anything?"
His aunt-in-law was a little out of breath from chasing after him, and she shouted from behind.
"Mom, you are confused. I am still a child. I haven't started a family or a career yet. How can I give money?"
Lu Youzhi waved his hand towards the back and replied:
"Let Lu Youli take care of it first. When I get married in the future, I will come and give my nephew a big red envelope. Let's go, mom. We won't be back for lunch."
talking.
After turning a corner, even the figure disappeared.
Lu Yang's aunt was so angry that she squatted on the ground and cried for her mother.
He scolded his son for being unfilial.
Lu Yang thought about it for a while, as if thinking about something. He greeted the two brothers Lu Youren and Lu Youyi next to him, and ignored his aunt who was squatting on the ground and throwing a tantrum.
gone...
That kid Lu Youli still owed him some medical expenses for the birth of their son. It was lucky enough that he didn't go to ask for it. He gave him a break for a while and still wanted him to give him the money. No way.
Just like that, a day later, Lu Yang met the sixth boy Lu Youzhi again in the factory.
First I asked, when does this brat plan to leave for Guangzhou?
"One week, let me arrange the work in the factory first. Although I have promoted several new people who have done a good job in sales, there are still some tasks that need me to arrange personally. Don't worry, cousin, give me a week and I will arrange everything here. Even if I don't come back for half a year next time, there will be no problem here."
Lu Yang nodded: "Well, I'll give you a mobile phone. When you get to Yangcheng, go to the postal department to handle the formalities yourself, and then you can mail the invoice to the factory."
The price of a mobile phone is 29800. If all the senior executives in the factory were to be equipped with one, even Lu Yang, with his current wealth, would find it difficult to afford it.
But Laoliu is different.
This guy is in charge of the sales department of the factory. Now he is going to Yangcheng to take charge. In the future, he may even become the general manager of the Yangcheng import and export branch.
It's time for the proper display to take place.
Otherwise, it would be really inconvenient to get in touch.
"really?"
Lu Youzhi said exaggeratedly: "Cousin, you are not kidding, right?"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Have I ever broken my word?"
Lu Yang looked at him with contempt.
"Brother, you are my real brother, I love you so much."
Finally, he was going to have his own mobile phone. Lu Youzhi, who had been coveting it for a long time, almost pounced on Lu Yang and hugged him and kissed him passionately.
Lu Yang pushed him away forcefully: "Get out of the way. By the way, I want to ask you something."
Lu Youzhi smiled from ear to ear: "Cousin, ask."
Lu Yang asked, "Your mother hasn't made things difficult for your second sister, has she?"
He left yesterday and he didn't ask about what happened afterwards.
Lu Youzhi put away the smile on his face and said in a not very pleasant manner, "What else can I do? He cursed me all afternoon, and scolded me, my second sister, and my second brother-in-law for several hours last night. But this morning, my eldest brother sent her to the county hospital to take care of my fifth sister-in-law. I also sent my second sister and her second brother-in-law home."
Lu Yang nodded.
This guy is quite reliable.
Then he asked, "You've been to your second brother-in-law's house several times. Is transportation there so inconvenient?"
“Can sewing machines be brought into the mountains?”
Lu Youzhi seemed to be thinking about something, and glanced at his cousin, "Cousin, do you mean that you want my second sister and second brother-in-law to also operate the sewing machine at home and make clothes for our factory?"
"Well, what do you mean?"
"It's indeed a good way to make a living, but every time I drive back, I can only take them to the town and then I can't go any further. The mountain roads over there are so big that large vehicles can't get in."
"Large vehicles can't get in, but what about motorcycles?"
Lu Yang glanced at him.
Hearing this, Lu Youzhi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Although the mountain road over there is difficult to travel on and large vehicles cannot drive in, in addition to the narrow road, I think it is mainly because it is too steep. Even riding a bicycle is very difficult, and it is impossible to carry goods. But if there is a motorcycle, with the horsepower of the motorcycle, it should be easy to go uphill, which will greatly shorten the journey for my second sister and second brother-in-law to get out of the mountain."
"Cousin, I've made up my mind. I want to buy a motorcycle now. Do you have any help?"
Motorcycles, especially in this era, are a mountain artifact, suitable for people living in remote mountainous areas to travel. Even in later times, in another 20 or 30 years, many places like remote mountainous areas in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan will still rely on them for travel.
Lu Yang looked at him and said, "This thing is not cheap, have you thought about it?"
