Chapter 53 Section fifty-two

Chen Fujiu failed to go to school at that time, so she went home.Now I regret it again, and there is nothing I can do.I often cry when I think about my future.Everyone advised her to stop thinking about it, so as not to think like a lunatic.It is said that thousands of people have to pass, and she is not alone, Chen Fujiu.Although Chen Fujiu felt that what they said was reasonable, she had other ideas.A person can only live one life, how can one live like this in this life?I am a fool, a fool, that's all.The problem is that I am smart and capable of reading good books, which makes me sad.So I have to blame heaven and fate.

After the water in Fara Mountain dried up, it became difficult to burn firewood and drink water.It was neither too early nor too late for the Chen family to enter Dharma, and the ancestors did not have much wealth.In addition, there are many descendants, a well-developed population, and a little family business. If it is distributed to each person, there will not be much.When Fara established the cooperative, the land that each family entered, unless it had been changed, brought back their own land when the family contracted for joint production.Chen Minghe and his son had less land.Chen Minghe went to Dahong Mountain to open up wasteland and plant crops.Later, the family business got better, so we didn't grow that kind of waste.The land of the several sons is also small, but because of their own talents, although the land is small, the family situation is still unmatched.There is not a forest or a tree in several houses.Sun Pingyu's house is surrounded by woods, which makes them envious.But they wanted to plant a poplar tree around, but there was no place to plant it.Therefore, the fuel for several companies is to pull coal from Miliangba.If there is no firewood for coal, I will buy it in other villages.Anyway, as long as there is money, coal and firewood will come.Whenever Ding Jiafen is free in winter, he and some women in the village go to the pine forests of other villages to steal pine hairs.When the sun is not clear, go to the pine forest in the dark and grab a basket full of pine hairs. When it is just dawn, the people who watch the pine forest will come up the mountain. The women in Fara have already carried the pine hairs back to Fara.Sometimes some forest watchers get up very early and catch these Fara women when they arrive in the forest.But the Chen family has a big family and marriages are everywhere, so if they are caught, they are all relatives at first glance.The Fara women spoke pitifully again, saying that they didn't even have firewood for cooking and eating at home, so they came to steal pine hairs.The firewood and mountains in those villages are all good, they all use trees to make fire, and a few pine hairs are not looked down upon at all. It is strange that the Fara people need to steal it in the dark.Moreover, these women only grabbed some pine hairs and did not cut down trees, so at most they could say a few words, and the pine hairs were still given to the women in Fara.But that night Ding Jiafen went to steal pine hair, but was caught by a guy in that village named Chang in his thirties.This person is Chang Shiying's grandnephew, who has been related to the Chen family for generations.It is reasonable to see that they are relatives, so they should be released.But this guy doesn't understand the reason, Ren Ding waited and asked, but he couldn't do it.Detain Ding et al from dawn until after noon, then confiscated Ding et al's flower baskets and pine hairs, and rushed Ding et al back.After hearing this, Chen Fuquan and Chen Fukuan drove the carriage to beat the man surnamed Chang.When I went to the Chang family, the Chang family scolded this guy, saying: "How can you do this to your relatives!" They pulled Hualuo Songmao and the others back.Seeing that the Chang family had scolded that guy, the two of them couldn't do anything, so they came back with a basket of flowers.Chen Fuying and others still refused to accept it.Thinking that Ding Jiafen is going to be sixty years old, he is going to grab some pine hair, and he is a relative, so it is unreasonable for him to be so blamed by that guy.The next time Chen Fuying and others saw this guy on Buckwheat Mountain Street, he would curse and beat him.The guy ran away in a hurry.

Chen Fuda came back from visiting Xishuangbanna, and praised Xishuangbanna every day: "It is a good place that you can't buy with money! It is close to the border, and there is Laos over there. If you want to go abroad, you only need to ride a bicycle and go abroad in five minutes! I even went to Laos to drive across the street! The provincial capital of Laos is not as good as any of our county towns. Some ethnic groups in Laos have milk exposed, and their breasts are exposed. Some are exposed buttocks, butts are exposed. People, who has ever been abroad? There are green mountains and green waters everywhere, virgin forests and boundless sea depressions. Where is there a mountain as high as Fara! There is no slope like this. The common people ride bicycles, which are comfortable and fast on asphalt roads. Even I have learned to ride a bicycle. In Miliangba, we can’t even find a bicycle in the county town. The county town is not as good as the countryside there! Sun’s poplar tree is the largest in Fala. But in Xishuangbanna, ten trees plus It is still not as big as the one there. I was in the primeval forest, and it took ten days to cut down a tree. Only three of those trees can cover the entire Heiliangzi. There is plenty of firewood there, and a big tree can be cut down. The burning can’t be finished for a year. The people of Fara go to Dahong Mountain every day to carry firewood, which is not as good as that tree for a year. There are tigers, elephants, leopards, deer, muntjacs, etc. Every day they carry their guns and go out. I have to drag a few back. If you like fried food, you can fry it. If you like it, you can cook it. Drink rice wine, eat meat, and live a fairy life. The soil quality is good there, and the virgin forest is cut down, and the grass and trees are burned with a torch. If you plant it, you can plant crops. Once you plant it, you don’t need to manage it. After a month or two, you can just harvest it. This is called slash-and-burn farming. It’s not like the Fara people, who mow grass and accumulate manure. Dung? How many yams are planted, and they will be planted and taken off, and there will be no harvest. The rice grows three seasons a year. How much can you eat? Hu Yongzhou’s family fed forty pigs, all of which were rice! The pigs ate, It’s better than our Fara people! Forty pigs sold for more than 20,000 yuan. The locals are all millionaires. They drink and eat meat all day long. They eat from morning to night. They sleep until dawn and then eat again There are all kinds of fruits such as bananas, pineapples, mangoes, and tree melons. The climate in that place is good, and where does it snow in winter! People have never seen snow, and ask us what snow is like! Now it is winter, and the grass is still It grows three inches in one night. Adulthood is summer, where it is like Fara, and it is so cold this winter. I don’t want to beg for money there, and I don’t want to be a million-dollar household in Fara. Whoever gives me 100,000 yuan now, wants me I don’t want to be Fara’s branch secretary or village head. Everyone just leave with me. What’s the point of living in Fara for the rest of your life? Wearing these felt shirts and jackets are dirty and ugly. Where are they? The little girls wear skirts, and the men wear suits. They live in wooden buildings, but it’s easy to live in a brick house. It costs tens of thousands of yuan to build a brick house. The local culture is also developed. It’s a small village with only a few hundred people. There are more than a dozen college students! They all study in Beijing and Shanghai. It’s amazing not to look like Fara, but to be rich! They only study a junior college! But they don’t study in Beijing or Shanghai! The children of those families have to study In high school, I am impatient to study locally, so I send them to the province! Which family in Fara can send their children to the province?" He blew every day, dazzled all the people in Fara.Everyone wants to go to those good places to live a good life.Chen Fujiu was also very tempted by his bragging, and wanted to see it.Chen Fuda wanted to take Chen Fujiu to marry the locals, so he could rely on himself, so he said to Chen Fujiu: "Fujiu, you don't want to be here anymore! Come with me! Just marry those college students! Those college students are so many. Very good!" Chen Fujiu decided to go with him.Chen Minghe and others persuaded him, but he didn't listen.Had to let her.

Chen Fuda was busy selling houses and dealing with family property.Chen Minghe and others said: "You can't sell the house! If you move to live in a stable place, it will be easy to deal with when you come back! How can you dispose of the house? Keep the house first. After a few years, it is indeed stable, and then come back to sell, or we I sold it for you, and I will send you the money!" Chen Fuda refused to listen, and said, "I wish you would leave with me right away! You still persuade me to stay like this or stay like that!" Chen Fuying, Chen Fuquan and others all persuaded: " Fuda, this big tile-roofed house is rare and easy to afford? It was very difficult to buy, so why didn’t you show any pity when you sold it?” Chen Fuda finally listened to the persuasion, and temporarily kept the house for the family around his house to look at.They also sell horses, mules, etc. Chen Fuda's horses, mules, etc. are among the best in the village. Others' horses can only be sold for five or six hundred yuan a horse, while his one is one thousand yuan.Other people's mules can only be sold for one thousand yuan, but his mules are sold for one thousand and seventy-eight.But because he was in a hurry to leave, the buyer slapped the price, saying that other horses only sold for five or six hundred yuan, so he only paid five or six hundred yuan.The mule only gave one thousand yuan.Chen Fuda said: "Don't you look at what kind of mule or horse I am! Can you find such a mule and horse in the village?" The other party still refused to increase the price. Chen Fuda had no choice but to sell the mule for 1,000 yuan and the horse for 500 yuan.Chen Minghe and others felt that he had lost a lot and advised him not to sell.Chen Fuda said: "I'm really at a loss by selling like this. You guys should just buy it! It's still the same price, 500 yuan for a horse, and 1,000 yuan for a mule! Rather than losing money to outsiders, it's better to lose money to your own people!" But Mr. Chen Minghe A few of them bought horse mules and so on.Every family has a large herd of livestock, and they can't let them go. How can they want him!However, Sun Pingyu's family has never had any livestock since they died.But even though Chen Fuda said to sell to Sun Pingyu's family, Sun Pingyu couldn't afford to buy it from Chen Fuda.And after several Chen family masters persuaded Sun Pingyu's family to buy it, but Sun's family couldn't afford it, they all said: "Who has the heart to buy his things at a high price? Make his fortune while he moves? Where did he move and wait for money! Sell ​​directly and sell directly, let him sell to outsiders, and make losses to outsiders. If we want to buy, we must give him at the real price.” None of them bought.Chen Fuda came to Chen Fuying's house and said, "Sister, why don't you buy these horse mules from me! Anyway, I sell them to outsiders for only this price, and it's not worth it if I lose money! We are siblings, and I'd rather lose money to you! Anyway, you have to buy them in the future." At that time, it’s not as good as buying mine.” Chen Fuying said: “Where do I have the money to buy it? You just sell it outside!” Chen Fuda said: “It’s just that I’m in a hurry to use the money when I move, otherwise I’ll give it all on credit You! The money you will give me in the future!" Chen Fuying said that he would not pay on credit, he just sold it.

Chen Fuda sold all these animals at a loss.Everyone calculated for him, and he lost about 2,000 yuan casually.It's all pity for him.Once the livestock is sold, it costs nearly 10,000 yuan.Chen Fuying said: "Fuda, my sister has dealt with all these things for you. When you go there, when will you be able to afford your 10,000 yuan family fortune? In Fara, you are considered a very rich family! No Life is difficult! Others move, one is to make a living, and the other is to avoid family planning. And you are neither living nor to avoid family planning! Fara has never moved like you .According to what I mean, you should not move! Just live in your hometown!" Chen Fuda said: "Those who can go can go anywhere, and those who can't go can't go anywhere. Sister, I am here Fara, no matter how hard it is for ten years, I still have this ten thousand yuan. But if I go there, within ten years, I will definitely earn hundreds of thousands or millions." Chen Fuying said: "It is difficult for a person to stand in a new place! Our ancestors went to Hengliangzi and were still recruited in Wu’s family. After nearly a hundred years, no one bullied them, otherwise they would always be bullied by others! The same is true when Sun’s family came to Fala! How many years have been here, until There are still people being bullied now! Even those who recruit relatives in Fala have seen a lot! These people are recruiting relatives, and they are being bullied! Don’t say that you have no relatives or relatives when you go out!” Chen Fuda was a little annoyed and said "Sister, you've been watching! Who dares to bully me? I have lived in my thirties, and no one has ever dared to bully me! Besides, many families have moved to Wumeng area and Miliangba, and I will do the same there. !" Seeing his situation, Chen Fuying did not persuade him, and later said: "Chen Fuda has changed since he came back. He used to listen to every word I said, but now he doesn't listen."

Chen Fuda sold the horses, mules, etc., but not the planks.His wooden planks are all made from walnut trees bought from various places in Miliangba during the past few years. The planks are excellent.People who come to buy also talk about the price.Chen Fuda got angry and said: "Don't sell!" He told Chen Minghe and other families: "Your family is better off, so I won't give it away. My sister's family needs to pay more money. Rather than being trampled on by these bastards." Buy it, why don't you give it to your sister's house." So she asked Sun Pingyu to carry all the boards.Sun Pingyu told him to sell.He does not sell.Sun Pingyu went to memorize it. He wanted to give him money, but he didn't want it. He said, "I have enough money! No more. If you need any money in the future, just lend me some money."

After hearing Chen Fuda's propaganda, Chen Fuwei, Chen Fuhua and other families in Fala Hengliangzi Chen's family thought that Xishuangbanna was a paradise, so they sold their property and went there with Chen Fuda to make a fortune.So when winter came, they all left.When we went, we sent them to the road to stop the car, and there was a whole car full of people.Chen Fujiu also followed. Chen Fuda's house was empty.Ask a nearby family to look after it. Chen Fuda's vegetable field will be planted by that family, and that family will be interested.But Chen Fuda's dog is extremely vicious.When Chen Fuda was at home, no one dared to approach him.Now that Chen Fuda's family has left, the dog has no one to feed it. It is very pitiful. He is hungry every day and has lost weight.The Fara people have always been able to determine the prosperity of the owner's house by the ferocity of the dog.Any family with vicious dogs must be rich and strong.If the dog is cowardly, the owner must also be poor and weak.Like the Sun family's dogs, they are not evil no matter what.Even if you know which family's dog is vicious, you can find the puppies born to that vicious dog to feed. The puppies born to the same vicious bitch are vicious, but the ones from the Sun's family are not vicious.Now the dog in Chen Fuda's family is thinner and not vicious anymore, it's very pitiful.Chen Minghe's family, Sun Pingyu's family, etc., when they saw the dog, they thought of Chen Fuda's family and said: "If Chen Fuda's family is still here, what would this dog be like? The old saying 'dogs rely on people's power' is true. Poor this dog!" Just take pity on it and throw a few yams for it to eat.But that doesn't solve the problem.The dog is still hungry.Later, when Chen Minghe saw that the dog's hair had fallen out, he felt even more pitiful, and said to Sun Pingyu, "Go and feed that dog from Chen Fuda's family! That dog is a good dog! It's very pitiful to see it hungry all day long! Save its life!" Sun Pingyu and Sun Fumin went to fetch it.After feeding it during the day, it went back to Chen Fuda's house to look at the house at night, and was very loyal to the empty house.During the day, he came to watch the house for Sun Pingyu's house again.Sun Pingyu said: "This dog understands human nature! It's a good dog!" But after a while, the dog was nowhere to be found.It was only after one or two years that I heard that when Sun Pingshi saw the dog looking at an empty house and no one was protecting it, he went to surround it at night, beat it to death and cooked it.Sun Pingyu's family really hated Sun Pingshi and others, but it was just heard, there was no evidence, and there was nothing they could do.In the end, because thieves and thieves became more and more rampant in Fara, the owner wanted to steal even if he was at home, let alone the house was empty.Those who looked around came to tell Chen Minghe that there were too many thieves and the house was ugly, and he didn't want to look at it, so he asked Chen Minghe to find a way.Chen Minghe's family moved into Chen Fuda's room to live and watch.

Chen Fuwei and Chen Fuhua moved there for a few months, and they were very sick and emaciated. When they returned to Fara, they ran out of money and their family was poor. They almost died in Xishuangbanna.When I came back, I scolded Chen Fuda every day, saying that I had been fooled by Chen Fuda.According to the two families, the place Chen Fuda took them to move was in the primeval forest.They all hired the original forest from the local people, cut it down, and slashed and burned it for a living.The forest is full of animals, ants twisted into fist-thick ropes, and the water can't be washed away.Wild animals are rampant and diseases are rampant.In that place, there is no one who does not suffer from malaria.After Chen Fuda's family arrived there, because Chen Fuda's family had a lot of money, they were sent to the hospital as soon as they fiddled, so they didn't suffer much, but basically four to five thousand yuan was spent on medical treatment.These two families only brought more than 3,000 yuan. They had no money for medical treatment. They could only use a bowl to scrape their backs and hands every day. Several people almost died there.It was hard to escape back to Fara.As soon as everyone heard that Chen Fuda's family spent four to five thousand yuan on medical treatment, the money must have been used up.Chen Minghe asked the two of them, "Does Chen Fuda's family have any money?" They said, "The medical treatment cost about 5,000 yuan, and the rest is enough to buy some farm tools and seeds! Let people stop getting sick! People get sick again." , He doesn’t even have money for medical treatment. But the place is so hot, it’s impossible not to play tricks! He has to pay for it every year! It costs thousands of dollars for medical treatment every year!”

Lu Jianlin's family had a feud with Luo Changcai. Seeing that the older children had bad eyesight, they wanted to be born again, but they were afraid that Luo would come to make trouble. Because Chen Fuda praised Xishuangbanna, Lu Guohai, Lu Jianlin, and Chen Fuxiang were all moved. Ask Lu and Chen Fuxiang to go to Xishuangbanna to vote for Chen Fuda in order to rebirth.Lu and Chen sold part of their property and moved to invest in Chen Fuda.When Chen Fuda heard that Lu's family was going, he kept sending letters telling him to go quickly, and the letters said how good it was there.Lu and Chen left.Unexpectedly, after I left, I saw that Chen Fuda's family lived in the virgin forest, and the township government was tens of kilometers away. I was very disappointed and thought I had been cheated.Chen Fuxiang quarreled with Chen Fuda every day, blaming him for coaxing her couple to come.Chen Fuda said, "Did you come here yourself, or did I coax you?" So the two families ignored each other. 

Chen Fuxiang wobbled and was ill for several months.Lu Jianlin had no money for medical treatment, and seeing that Chen Fuxiang was skinny and skinny, she thought that Chen Fuxiang would not get better, so she left Chen Fuxiang and went to work in Laos.He thought that after Chen Fuxiang died, he would not return to China, and he would just ask for a wife in Laos to live.Chen Fuxiang was ill in bed every day, resigned to fate.Chen Fuda didn't care either.But a few months later, Chen Fuxiang escaped from death and survived.Lu Jianlin earned some money from working in Laos, which was just enough for the travel expenses from Xishuangbanna back to Miliangba.Hearing that Chen was not dead, he came back from Laos and brought Chen Fuxiang home.When I came back, I scolded Chen Fuda for cheating his family every day, saying that I would never recognize him as my second brother again.Lu Jianlin's family moved thousands of yuan this time, and they were also destitute. They kept relying on Lu Guohai's donations to survive.

After Chen Fujiu went to Chen Fuda's house, he met Hu Anzheng who moved from Miliangba there.This Hu family was originally in Miliangba.Some of the Hu family served as soldiers in Xishuangbanna before.After changing jobs, he stayed there. Seeing that the place was very good, he came to move his family there.This Hu Anzheng, whose parents died early, was an orphan. He was brought up in Xishuangbanna for his uncle.One year older than Chen Fujiu, he is very honest, just like Sun Pingyu.Seeing that Chen Fujiu was good, the Hu family asked someone to tell Chen Fujiu to Hu Anzheng.Chen Fujiu agreed.But Chen Fuda disagreed.Chen Fuda wants to marry her to a local so that he can find a backer.Although there are a few members of the Hu family, they are also outsiders and lack strength.So Chen Fuda has always opposed it.Chen Fujiu ignored him, and Chen Fuda beat Chen Fujiu.Chen Fujiu ran to Hu's house.Chen Fuda knocked on the door of Hu's house and smashed everything in Hu's house.The Hu guy wanted to beat Chen Fuda.Because of Chen Fujiu's face, he never beat Chen Fuda.Chen Fuda couldn't stop the marriage, so the Lehu family had to pay him 1,000 yuan.Chen Fujiu reasoned with Chen Fuda and asked the reason for forcing the money.Chen Fuda couldn't answer the question, so he kept on playing tricks, quarreling and scolding every day if he didn't pay the money, which made the Hu family restless.Later, I went to sell Hu Anzheng and Chen Fujiu's only buffalo for 1,200 yuan. I ate the money, so I stopped scolding Hu and Chen. At the end of another year, Chen Fuda, Lu Guohai, and Chen Fu came back to Miliangba nine times.The Chen family met Hu Anzheng well and agreed to the matter.Chen Fuda still brags about how good Xishuangbanna is every day, the same as before.Chen Fuying said: "Chen Fuda, don't bother bragging. Chen Fuwei, Chen Fuhua and Lu Jianlin's family all hate you to the bone." Chen Fuda didn't care, and boasted that in the year he moved, his family property had reached more than 30,000 yuan.He was eloquent, and people believed him again.Chen Minghe and Ding Jiafen secretly asked Chen Fujiu if he was.Chen Fujiu knew that his parents were not tight-lipped, and if he said it, it would definitely spread. Chen Fuda knew that he would hate himself, so he said it was true.Chen Fuying secretly asked Chen Fujiu, and Chen Fujiu said: "My sister is tight-lipped, so I dare to say it. My parents asked me, but I didn't dare to say it. He moved there, and he ran out of money for medical treatment. He was so poor that he had nothing to do, so he was like a Like a lame man, he forced my big buffalo to eat. When he moved from Fara, what a family property he had! It was all gone in less than a year. He was afraid of losing face, so he came back and bragged about how rich he was. Going there, people are quite lonely, and they dare not mess with the locals at all! He wants to come home, make a good show, and trick a few families to move, so that he can be with him! So lies lie everywhere!" Chen Fuying learned , and dare not tell Chen Minghe and others.In the end, Chen Fuda lied to Chen Fuzhi and Chen Fuwen's family and moved away with them.When Chen Fuying saw him off, he secretly asked Chen Fujiu: "Then what will you do in the future?" Chen Fujiu said: "The Hu family still has land in Miliangba. Live there and see!" Tears were about to fall. Chen Fuquan wrapped up the mother-in-law of Ai's family in Liangzi, Huangmaopo, and lived and ate at Ai's family all the time.Ai doesn't care.Chen Fuquan used to have some money, but now it is posted on the head of Ai's family. Ai's family was very poor, but after being given some money by Chen Fuquan, they all wore new clothes.The daughter-in-law of Ai's family wears a new set of clothes today, and shows off in a new set of clothes tomorrow.Ma Youfen and several children were left unattended, wearing torn clothes and pants.Chen Minghe scolded: "Chen Fuquan, you are going to die! If you don't know how to look at it anymore, you should look at your elder brother-in-law and your sister. The college students have confessed. You are also in your thirties, and you have many children. Do you still want to be famous? ?” Chen Fuquan became angry: “Sun Pingyu’s money for college students is not my cigarette money! My cigarette money is more than what he spends for his students!” Chen Minghe scolded: “The money that others give to college students is not your cigarette money, Where are your college students?" Chen Fuquan said: "He has college students to live in, but I can't live without college students? Do I eat worse than him, or dress worse than him?" Chen Minghe became angry and beat him.As soon as Chen Fuquan was beaten, he ran away, and he couldn't beat him even if he wanted to. As his reputation got worse and worse, Chen Fuquan made an idea: marry Ai's parents and daughters to Chen Zhigui.Chen Zhigui's mother died since he was a child, and he is weak.As for the girl from the Ai family, she has turnip eyes and is ugly.Chen Zhigui doesn't want it.The Ai family girl also looked down on Chen Zhigui.Chen Fuquan and Ai's mother-in-law just wanted to cover up the scandal, regardless of their wishes.In the end, the Ai family suppressed the girl, and Chen Fuquan suppressed Chen Zhigui, forcing them to get married.Chen Fuquan then lived in Ai's house every day in the name of his in-laws.Chen Minghe and Ding Jiafen called Chen Zhigui: "You go to Xishuangbanna to find your second father, don't want this daughter-in-law, what will your father do with your daughter-in-law?" Chen Zhigui walked towards Xishuangbanna.Chen Fuquan has nothing to do with this wife.To stay at home, like a widow.I had to ask Ai's daughter-in-law to come and take the girl back.The Ai family's daughter-in-law was scandalized, and now the girl married the Chen family for a month, and was divorced by the Chen family, which caused the whole village to scold her.His husband lost both his daughter-in-law and his daughter, and he couldn't express his hatred, so he beat his daughter-in-law.The daughter-in-law of the Ai family asked Chen Fuquan what to do.Chen Fuquan said: "What can I do?" Ai's daughter-in-law grabbed Chen Fuquan desperately.Chen Fuquan beat her hard.Since then, the road to Ai's family has been cut off.
