Chapter 13 Making Money
No matter how clever Zhang Jiling is, she is also a child. She didn't know that she had to leave Zhou Qingyong's parents to negotiate the price. When she heard Zhou Qingyong ask her brother to treat the pig, she took Zhang Ji over happily.
"Jiling, I heard that your brother can cure pig disease. Can you ask your brother to cure my pig disease?" Zhou Ganquan asked.
"Yes, yes. But a pig costs 50 yuan." Zhang Jiling had already started to think about how to spend the money. Zhou Gan's family had a total of 200 yuan. He could buy a new set of clothes for his younger brother, and the rest could also buy a pair of shoes for his younger brother.
"It costs 50 yuan? Veterinarian Yang only costs 10 or 20 yuan every time he gives pig injections! Why do you say so high? Everyone is from the villagers, and it is appropriate for everyone to help each other. You shouldn't have to collect money." Zhou Ganquan was about to kidnap two children with morality.
Zhang Jiling smiled disdainfully: "Uncle Zhou, you can't say that. My grandfather's foot hurts last year and couldn't get out of the field. He asked you to help me plow the fields. Why do you want money? 4 acres of land, you asked for 200 yuan."
Zhou Ganquan thrust awkwardly on his face and forced a smile: "Then it's too expensive to have 50 yuan per head. Otherwise, I'll cure all the pigs in our family and I'll give you 50 yuan."
"Bah! You think so beautifully. If all the pigs in your family die, you will lose several thousand yuan. My brother will treat your pigs for 50 yuan per head, which is only 200 yuan. Do you think I can't count? Brother, let's go home and we won't treat their pigs for ills." Zhang Jiling pulled Zhang Jidong and left.
This week, Gan Quan was anxious. Four pigs were 140 or 50 kilograms a head, and the small ones were about 100 kilograms a head. If they were all dead, they would lose several thousand. If two hundred yuan could be cured, the fool would settle the account. He quickly stopped Zhang Jiling and his brothers.
"Isn't it okay for me to treat it?" Zhou Ganquan said.
"Give the money first." Zhang Jiling was afraid that Zhou Ganquan would regret it later.
"Get the money." Zhou Ganquan turned around and said to his wife Yang Yueling.
"It's two hundred! It's too expensive."
Yang Yueling took out a plastic bag from a tile jar under the bed. A roll of money was rolled up in the plastic bag, but it was not a total small receipt. She counted one or two green bills worth fifty yuan, and counted a few twenty yuan, plus a few ten yuan, and collected two hundred yuan. These were all earned by Yang Yueling and Zhou Ganquan who worked in labor everywhere. After collecting the whole number, they were placed in the credit union deposit period.
"You can't bear to bear the two hundred yuan, and those four fat pigs will die." Zhou Ganquan said helplessly. Now the initiative is in the hands of these two siblings. One is a ghostly spirit, the other is a fool.
Zhang Jiling took the money, held it in his hand, and his mouth made a crescent moon: "Ji Dong, work."
Zhang Jidong was thinking about eating pork in his heart, and he looked at the pigs in the pigpen and felt like piece of meat. He didn't feel the pig manure in the pigpen smelled. When he came, he had already drawn 4 pictures of the disease cure talisman and took pictures of the disease pig one by one.
After taking pictures of the four talismans, Zhang Jidong clapped his hands: "Sister, who will go to next?"
"That's good?" Zhou Ganquan quickly grabbed Zhang Jidong.
"What? Do you want to go back on your word? Do you believe it or not, my brother cured your pig and then cured your pig back!" Zhang Jiling hurriedly protected his brother behind him.
Zhou Ganquan was also a little scared. Just now, Zhang Jidong took out the talisman and he was confused.
"I gave you all the money, but I didn't want to regret it." Zhou Ganquan said quickly.
Zhang Jiling glanced at Zhou Ganquan: "You know what you are."
In fact, she was still a little worried that Zhou Ganquan would go back on his word. She was a child and could not do anything to Zhou Ganquan. Moreover, she didn't know if her younger brother could really treat Zhou Ganquan's pigs.
"Have my pig been ready?" Zhou Ganquan asked.
"It's definitely good. If it's not good, I'll return the money to you." Zhang Jiling was also a little worried that his brother's talisman would fail.
Zhang Jidong, regardless of whether the disease cure talisman fails or not, for him, eating meat is the most important thing: "Sister, can we buy meat, right?"
"Later, when the pigs from Zhou Qingyong's family are ready, we will use the money to buy meat." Zhang Jiling was worried that the pigs would not be cured. If they were used to weigh the meat, they would have no money to pay them back later. If Zhou Ganquan made trouble at home, it would be strange if the two brothers and sisters were not beaten to death by their grandfather.
In just a while, Zhou Gan's family's four pig family started to scream. Zhou Gan's wife Yang Yueling ran over happily to pick up the pig. She saw four pigs in the pigpen rushing for food.
"Okay, it's really good." Yang Yueling cheered in surprise.
Zhou Ganquan also hurried over, holding the pigpen fence with both hands, and watching several strong pigs grab food in the basin, which was even happier than seeing their own cubs.
Zhou Qingyong, who was standing aside, rolled his eyes. You are not so sad about me. Who is your own son?
"Brother, tomorrow I will take you to the town to eat meat." Zhang Jiling pulled Zhang Jidong home.
"I want it." Zhang Jidong smiled.
The two siblings walked along the way, and the sister kept pinching the 200 yuan from the strap with her hands. The younger brother followed behind, staring at the ground, fearing that the money in her sister's bag would fall out.
"You two siblings have found the money? Are you so happy?" A villager on the way could not help but smell it.
This made Zhang Jidong very nervous. How did he know that we are rich? Should we kill people to silence us?
"Sister, if all the pigs in the village are treated for me, can I buy a lot of meat?" Zhang Jidong asked.
"Yes." Zhang Jiling nodded. The question was how to cure the entire village's pigs?
As soon as he got home, Zhang Jiling warned Xiao Daidi on his back: "It's a matter for your brother to cure the pigs, so you can tell me it out."
"Grandma, why?" Zhang Jiling was stunned. Isn't this cutting off his own financial path?
"Why? You don't know this yet? If everyone in the village knew that your brother understood this, wouldn't it be your brother who was a monster?" Xiao Daidi scraped Zhang Jiling's nose.
Zhang Jidong was anxious: "Sister, I want to be red meat."
"Oh, Ji Dong, when our pigs come out of the pen, grandma will go to the town to weigh you meat." Xiao Daidi sighed, and the old couple relied on digging food from several acres of paddy fields. It was not easy for these two siblings to eat and wear warm clothes. It is rare to eat meat several times throughout the year.
Seeing grandma sigh, Zhang Jiling hurriedly took out the two hundred yuan in the bag and handed it to grandma: "Grandma, take it to weigh the meat for your brother."
Xiao Daidi suddenly changed her face: "Ji Ling! Where did the money come from?"
"My brother helped Zhou Qingyong's family cure the pig. A pig costs 50 yuan, a total of 200 yuan." Zhang Jiling said.
