The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 10 Envy and Jealousy

The family suddenly had more animals, and both of them were very happy and walked home while chatting.

When they arrived at the village, several women saw Lin Hai walking with a donkey.

They all felt very surprised.

If you can raise an animal in the countryside, you are considered rich.

Doing farm work can save a lot of energy.

Of course, the best thing is to have a cow, which has the greatest vitality.

Having a donkey without a cow is enviable enough.

As for raising horses, I can’t even think about it.Although horses are more expensive, the cost of raising them is too high and ordinary people cannot afford them.

When they arrived, Qiaoer happily greeted them.

A woman named Erhua quickly asked: "Qiao'er, where did this donkey come from?"

"This is what my husband earned from hunting!" Qiaoer said with great pride.

My family was too poor before, and I couldn't hold my head high in front of these people.

Now I can finally exhale.

Who said that my husband is powerless and can't do anything!

No, I immediately earned a donkey, a few kilograms of rice and salt.

With this food, we can sustain ourselves for several days.

In addition, the silkworm chrysalis can be sold immediately for money, so you no longer have to worry about not having enough to eat.

Several women looked disbelieving.

Looking at the thin Lin Hai.

"Are you kidding me? With a body like Lin Hai's, can he go hunting? Even if he encounters a pheasant, he probably won't be able to beat it!" the woman named Erhua said harshly.

Her words immediately caused the women to burst into laughter.

Qiaoer suddenly became unhappy and argued hard: "Don't underestimate people. After all, my husband has read a book, and his mind is better than others. "

"Did you really go hunting?" Guilan asked in surprise.

"Yes, if you don't go hunting, how can you get a donkey?" Lin Hai replied.

These peasant women immediately lost their composure.

A man who was about to starve to death suddenly became rich by hunting.

My heart is very unbalanced.

Lin Hai could guess what they were thinking from the changing expressions on their faces.

This is jealousy in my heart.

He smiled and said: "I'm going to sell the prey when I get back from hunting. I haven't had time to eat yet. You guys should be busy first. Let's go first!"

I saw the backs of the two leaving.

Several women began to discuss.

"It's hard to understand how a poor scholar like Lin Hai can turn around. I really can't understand the world."

"That is to say, I heard the day before yesterday that all the land was sold in order to pay off the debt."

"You tell me why he went hunting. My second dog is much stronger than him. This time we went out and shot a half-sized wild pigeon.

What can he achieve as a weak scholar? "

"In exchange for a donkey, at least a few wild boars are needed, right?"

……

Although they were extremely jealous, they could never imagine how Lin Hai hunted.

When I got home, I quickly told my man about this.

Those men also looked unbelieving.

"Impossible. We met when we came back and we just shot three rabbits and two pheasants. How can we exchange these things for a donkey?" Wang Dayong scolded.

"It's true. We saw with our own eyes Lin Hai and Qiao'er leading the donkey back. If you don't believe it, ask Guilan and Erhua, they all saw it."

Wang Dayong was very confused and stood up and said, "No, I have to ask what's going on."

Cuilian quickly explained: "You should be polite when you go, Lin Hai is different from before."

When Wang Dayong arrived at the door of Lin Hai's house, he smelled the aroma of meat.Couldn't help but swallow.

Although he hunts all year round, he is reluctant to eat meat all year round.

The prey they catch must be sold for grain and salt.

Wang Dayong knocked on the door and shouted: "Is Lin Hai at home?"

"At home, come in!"

Lin Hai was sharpening a dagger at home, and Qiaoer was still cooking.

Hare meat needs to be stewed slowly, otherwise it will be inedible.

Although there is not much seasoning, the meat is already fragrant.

"Dayong, why are you here? Sit down!" Lin Hai put down the dagger and greeted.

Wang Dayong sat down and saw that Lin Hai was a little cautious.

I always felt that Lin Hai had an inexplicable temperament about him. Only when he met those members of the Communist Party of China or scholars could he feel this way.

"I heard you bought a donkey?" Wang Dayong asked.

"Yes, it's tied over there!" Lin Hai pointed to the edge of the kitchen.

There happens to be a small shack over there, just perfect for raising donkeys.

Now Wang Dayong couldn't help but not believe it.

But he still couldn't figure it out.

"When I came back from hunting, I saw you only killed two pheasants and three wild rabbits. How can you exchange these for a donkey?"

Only then did Lin Hai know the purpose of his visit, and said with a smile: "That's because you didn't look into my backpack. I was lucky this time when I was hunting and came across a hive of beehives.

I got several kilograms of honey. This donkey was exchanged for honey. "

Wang Dayong's face was full of envy after hearing this.

Honey is hard to come by, and you have to go to dangerous places deep in the mountains to find it.

It can be imagined that Lin Hai took huge risks to gain so much.

At the same time, I felt very scared.

He said with a very serious expression: "Lin Hai, I have to talk about you. If you go hunting in the mountains, those places are very dangerous.

Once you encounter a beast, you will be eaten. "

"Don't worry, I know what's going on and I won't go too deep."

Wang Dayong felt angry and anxious when he saw Lin Hai's completely indifferent expression.

"Don't take it seriously. It's just your luck this time. People in our village who go hunting are eaten by wild beasts almost every year or two.

It's just that they are too greedy and go hunting in unsafe places.

Although there are more prey there and the harvest is better, once a life is lost, the backbone of the family will be gone. "

Lin Hai felt that Wang Dayong was indeed an honest person and worthy of close friendship.

"Okay, I understand. I won't take risks easily in the future. This hunting trip made me very tired. I plan to rest at home tomorrow."

"If you want to go hunting, why not come with us! We can take care of each other when we are together.

What's more, your life is so good today, and no one else can find anything wrong with it. "Wang Dayong took the initiative to invite.

Lin Hai didn't want to hang out with them.

Whether it is his powder gun or crossbow, he does not want to reveal it.

If everyone had a crossbow, they would hunt without restraint.

I am afraid that there will be less and less prey in the mountains.

At least until life completely improves, Lin Hai will not do such things that are detrimental to himself and others.

After all, when I was very poor, no one came to help me.

Why do you have to help them?

"I'm still used to hunting by myself, so I won't go with you!" Lin Hai simply refused.

Wang Dayong could also guess that Lin Hai didn't want them to know how to hunt.
