Men and women get married at the age of fourteen and have sixteen children in their lifetime. If you look at it too much, it is not in line with the principles of eugenics; but if people have rivers and don’t repair them, and don’t plant trees when they have open land, how many people will die if there is a flood or a drought?Sixteen babies?not much!What's more, other than floods and droughts, other than floods and droughts, what about moral and ethical uses?The child's daughter-in-law stole half a piece of dried tofu and was beaten to death!One dies, no one cares!Borrowing one yuan of interest money, failing to repay it when it is due, will be a death penalty!Another one died, no one cares!Another death, or a group, no one cares!How much can you give birth to?Sixteen!it is good!pregnancy!Twenty-six is ​​not much!No one cares!No one cares about your life, no one cares about your death, isn't it a wonderful theory of population limitation!Moreover, the practice of this kind of theory also looks lively and lively!

Lao Zhang understands this, but are there any philosophers who don't understand this?Spending money to buy a girl is more charitable than killing a child bride who steals half a piece of dried tofu, much more!Buy it and sell it, sell it and buy it again, buy it and kill it, buy two after one is dead, no one cares!Sun Shoubei wants to take care of it?it is good!Bring money! What about Sun Shoubei?He also understands this.Money comes to fruition.Don't think about anything else?Go to court?People in a country ruled by law do not litigate! So, Lao Zhang took a roll of banknotes and put them carefully in his pocket (it's a pity that people don't have two meat bags on their chests).Then he went to the counting room of Qinghetang, and folded the two tables of banquets that were arranged in the morning into Sun Ba's account.He also begged the waiter to take off his red curtains and the happy couplet sent by Nan Feisheng.After wrapping up the red curtain and Xilian together, he asked:

"Where's the iron hook for hanging the curtain?" "That's ours!" replied the waiter. "Do you want it? A copper coin!" "Then, keep it! Goodbye!" Lao Zhang put the red banner under his arm and left Qinghe Hall.Take one step and touch it three times, I'm afraid the banknote will fall out of the pocket.Touching it and thinking about it, the more I thought about it, the more amusing it became, and I said to myself: "This group of idiots! We didn't hurt anything! When it goes on sale tomorrow morning, these red curtains won't sell for one or two yuan; this pair of Xilian? No one wants it! Anyway, I still haven’t exchanged two packs of matches!..." After he left Deshengmen, the sky was getting dark, and things in the distance could not be seen clearly.

Those who make a fortune look at the earth while walking; those who compose poetry look at the sky while walking.Lao Zhang is determined to make a fortune, so he naturally watched the land as usual.He got off the Deshengmen Suspension Bridge and onto the dirt road to the east.It was dark like a small wallet in front of my eyes.He didn't dare to touch it with his hands, fearing that it might be a hedgehog that came out to look for food at night; thinking of this in his heart, he kicked forward involuntarily.If the purse was of course soft, this thing was soft, but part of it stuck to his shoe—new shoe! "Unlucky! Damn, an unpopular dog, bullying you Mr. Zhang!"

He found a place with loose soil and gently rubbed the soles of his shoes.Then he rushed home in a hurry, fearing that he would encounter road robbery in the dark.He relies on God, the God of Wealth, and the joint blessing of the land!When I got home safely, I didn't eat anything, but drank cold water.I counted the bank notes three or four times, put them one by one slowly in the box, locked it, and put the key in my pocket.Then he fell into bed and slept his peaceful sleep! ………… Sun Shoubei asked Zhao Si to send Wang De home, but Wang De just smiled dumbly.Zhao Si tied Wang De to the rickshaw with a rope and sent him home.

Sun Shoubei and Li Jing took a carriage back to Desheng Gate. Li Shandong helped Sun Ba settle the accounts and go home together.Li Dongdong watched Sun Ba enter the door, and then turned back to the shop. Sun Ba went into the street and had nothing to say: "Little three, little four! Are you still asleep?" "Ah! Dad is back! Where is your little daughter-in-law? Show me!" Xiao San said. Xiao Si got down on the ground with his bare socks on, grabbed Sun Ba and rummaged through the skirts of his clothes.Then he asked: "Where did you hide your little daughter-in-law?" When he usually played with the children, "marry a girl" and "send a sister", they were all little cloth people, so he thought his father's little wife was also a feet high.

"Don't make trouble! Don't make trouble! Where's your mother?" Sun Ba asked. "Mom is crying in the house! It's your bad father who married a young daughter-in-law and made Mom cry like a 'big mother'! Bad father!"
