106: Cry, cry, even if you cry yourself to death
Yu Daye said impatiently:
"The people are gone, what's the point of explaining? We don't even know if they're dead or alive, or where they are. The most important thing is to save yourself. If you don't sell it now, the Li family will take it for themselves and you won't be able to explain it!"
It seems to make some sense——
Yu Erye couldn't refute it, okay, just sell it -
However, selling off one's belongings seems to be something only prodigals do. In their hometown, selling belongings is a shameful thing and one will be scolded to death. Who would sell their belongings unless they are at the end of their rope?
That's why Yu Erye felt he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
Boss Yu did not have such a heavy psychological burden. He sold his belongings with peace of mind and did not feel anything was wrong.
He was afraid that Lao Pu would go back on his word, so he hurried back to the Ninth Company. However, no one was home, neither Cai Honghua nor the fool.
The two men hurriedly collected their belongings. Except for clothes and bedding, which they kept for themselves, they took out everything else that could be used, including a large iron pot, a wooden barrel, a bamboo basket, jars and cans from home, and even a few large blue-rimmed coarse porcelain bowls that were not damaged. They put them into the basket to see how Lao Pu would bid.
Rather than giving these things away cheaply to the Li family, the two brothers would rather sell them for money.
The two men carried these things and quickly returned to the woods.
Along the way, I was worried about what would happen if Lao Pu left.
fortunately!
Lao Pu was still there, waiting with his horse tied up.
The two men placed the belongings they brought with them on the carriage for Lao Pu to see.
When Lao Pu saw these things, he was also surprised. He picked up a long-handled ladle and asked:
"Are you selling them all?"
“Sell them all!”
Lao Pu: These two are spendthrifts!
Forget it, Lao Pu has realized that if these things are left in the hands of the two brothers, they will probably be squandered sooner or later. He might as well be a good person and make the decision for Yu Xiaoye and buy all these things back.
Although it looks worn and old, it is still usable.
And the total value should not be much, so after some bargaining, all the belongings were finally sold for four dollars.
The main thing is that the big iron pot is worth some money and it is very thick, but the other things are not worth much.
Lao Pu happened to have some money on him, so he paid for Yu Xiaoye first, and the two parties reached a happy deal.
Lao Pu brought the firewood, big iron pot, wooden barrel and bamboo basket back to the company with satisfaction.
Yu Daye put four yuan and ten cents into his pocket with satisfaction.
Adding the one dollar and twenty-one cents earned from chopping wood before, the total is five dollars and thirty-two cents.
Five dollars and thirty-two cents!
Finally I have some assets.
With the money, Yu Daye's mood naturally improved and his steps became lighter.
But when he turned his head to look at Yu Erye beside him, he saw that Yu Erye was walking slowly, with his head drooped and looking listless.
Yu Daye took advantage of his good mood to show some concern for his younger brother:
"Second brother, don't be like this. Think positively. We've exchanged our things for money. It will be convenient for us to run away in the future. We can just take the money and leave. We don't have to drag a lot of luggage like last time."
Yu Erye sniffed and said in a crying voice:
"But, brother, if we sell our things, all our belongings will be gone, we can't find our parents, and our family will be gone too—"
As he was talking, Yu Erye suddenly became sad. The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. He could no longer hold back his tears and started to sob, wiping them with his sleeves.
Yu Daye was stunned:
"Why are you crying?"
"Wuwuwu——" Yu Erye cried even harder.
"Shut up right there! You're a grown man crying like a woman! Aren't you ashamed?"
"Wow--"
Yu Erye simply ran to the side, hugged a poplar tree and burst into tears, crying his heart out, howling as he cried:
"Wow, my father is gone, my mother is gone, my belongings are gone, everything is gone. I want to go home. We shouldn't have come to the Great Northern Wilderness in the first place. Wouldn't it be better to stay in our hometown? Why did we have to run all the way here? I want to go home, I miss my grandfather, I miss my grandmother, I miss - I miss Er Gouzi, wow - wow -"
Yu Daye had a headache from crying so much that he really wanted to punch him twice to let him cry his heart out.
But he held back and patiently advised:
"Think positively. You're here to make money to marry Cuihua. Don't you want to marry Cuihua anymore?"
Who knew Yu Erye suddenly lost his temper and yelled:
"Don't mention Cuihua to me!"
Yu Daye:——
Even Cuihua doesn’t work anymore?
It seems that the second child is really sad this time.
Forget it, cry all you want, even if you cry yourself to death, forget it!
Yu Daye didn't care anymore and sat down on the ground, waiting until he had cried enough before leaving.
While waiting, he took out the money hidden in his pocket and counted it again and again.
Yu Daye never thought about Cuihua and Cuiduo, he only thought about money!
Money is still the most real.
He counted the five dollars and thirty-two cents over and over again, as if the more he counted, the thicker it became, and the more money he had.
Gradually, Yu Erye's crying became softer, but he was still choking.
Yu Daye then turned around and said:
"Second brother, haven't you noticed that our luck has turned recently?"
"Hmph—"
"Think about it. Didn't I pick up some meat to eat a few days ago? Did I make some money selling firewood? And today, I sold my belongings. Don't worry about anything else. I finally got some money. I don't have to take advantage of Mr. Li anymore. And from now on, I can sell a bundle of firewood every day and earn a dime every day. Aren't these all good things? Guess why we have so many good things happen to us?"
Yu Erye finally stopped sobbing:
"What's the reason?"
"Stupid! Have you forgotten that day when we saw the shrimp monster and the fish monster by the river?!"
“-----Oh! Oh oh!!”
"Ever since we met the shrimp spirit and the fish spirit by the river that day, good luck has been coming our way. Think about it, isn't it?"
Yu Erye suddenly understood, without even wiping away tears, and said with a look of fear:
"Brother, it seems that those are not spirits, they are all immortals!"
"I think so too. Fortunately, we didn't eat them, so we had the blessing later. So, just wait and see. With the blessing of the gods, our luck will definitely turn around. Do you believe it?!"
"letter!"
Yu Erye nodded vigorously, tears streaming down his face.
Yu Daye stood up and patted his butt:
"If you believe me, come back with me and continue chopping wood. I think something good is going to happen."
Yu Daye drank a lot of soup, which made Yu Erye feel dizzy. He wiped the tears from his face, sniffed his nose, and asked hopefully:
"Brother, I can still make money and go back to marry Cuihua, right?"
“------”
Yu Daye covered his chest with his hands, his face was pale, and he almost died on the spot.
"Second brother, please, don't mention Cuihua in front of me anymore, okay?"
Yu Erye: "Didn't you bring it up first?"
Yu Daye: “——” God has eyes, the gods have appeared, please don’t let our second son marry Cuihua, otherwise one of Cuihua and I will die!
Damn it, I’m so annoyed!
