Quick Wear: I've never been a good person

Chapter 401: Yu becomes a widow without a man (6)

"When you have money, you want to buy a farmhouse or shop. But because you can't read, you pay for the farmhouse or shop, but they refuse to give it to you. What can you do? Wouldn't that be a loss?"

"That's impossible. I can't read myself, so I don't know. Ask someone who can read to help me look it up!"

"What if the one who knows how to read is colluding with the other party?"

"No, right?"

"Then who knows? Let me ask you, how do you write the word for one ounce of silver?"

Okay, after hearing what Dunzi said, everyone obediently followed Dunzi and started to recognize the words.

However, at Cailai's strong request, Dunzi started teaching from the beginning to ten, and he had to recognize the numbers.

Dunzi was also very easy to talk to, so he wrote down numbers from one to ten on the paper.

One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Ninety

Then ask them to look at it by themselves, and remember it in their minds first without writing it down.

As a result, the more they looked, the more confused they became.

Finally, Cailai sighed, "This character has so many strokes! It would be nice if I could just mark it with one or two strokes."

I just happened to come over to see a few children and was stunned when I heard how they were doing.

Could it be that the simplified characters in later generations were deliberately simplified because people knew that there were too many strokes?

Especially those Arabic characters, is it because they are too lazy?

If this is true, Shuangshuang really wants to exclaim: It’s good to be lazy!

However, although the brothers lamented that the character had many strokes, they still learned it very seriously.

Follow the strokes of the block with your fingers, stroke by stroke.

I’m afraid that I won’t be able to read in the future and will be cheated by others.

The next day, Dunzi came back from school and asked them how many words they remembered.

Everyone looked up at the sky and down at the ground, but didn't remember a single word.

Dunzi was not angry. He continued to take out the words from one to ten from yesterday and asked them to write them down.

Several people looked at those words, and they became more and more frustrated and less and less confident. They really wanted to tell Dunzi that they would not learn anymore and could just cheat in the future.

At this time, Baoni came in, and Dunzi asked her, "Boni, let me ask you, have you memorized the Three Character Classic that your brother taught you before?"

Bonnie held her head high and chest puffed out, her face brimming with pride! "I've learned it by heart, haven't I? You think I'm as dumb as my cousins!"

Several cousins who were affected felt hopeless.

"Well, then, recite it to me and see if I'm right."

So Bonnie stood up straight, put her hands behind her back and started to carry it on her back.

"Human nature is good at birth; natures are similar but habits separate them. If left untaught, nature will change..."

Several cousins looked at Bonnie with admiration.

When Bao finished memorizing the entire "Three Character Classic", he saw the sparkling eyes of his cousins looking at him.

Cailai rushed to Baoni and asked, "Boni, do you recognize all these words?"

Bonnie said with a nonchalant look, "Of course I recognize them all."

"Wow, Bonnie, you're so amazing! You can actually recognize so many words."

"It's okay, it's okay. As long as you work hard and learn from me every day, you can be like me."

After hearing this, several wealthy people were eager to try their best to surpass Bonnie.

Dunzi saw that they were all very confident and did not tell them.

I will go to a private school tomorrow and will not be back at night. Bonnie will be the one teaching them at home!

Shuangshuang didn't disturb them and went out to her uncle Xu Yougen's house in the village.

I remember that they raised several pigs last year. They slaughtered two of them during the Chinese New Year, so there should be a few left.

Outside the fence, someone called out, "Uncle, Aunt!"

Immediately, a little kid came out to open the door. This was his second cousin's eldest son, who was three years old.

As soon as he saw it was Shuangshuang, he immediately shouted, "Auntie, come in quickly."

Then he called out to the inside, "Grandpa and Grandma, it's my auntie."

The old couple came out immediately after hearing this. Seeing Shuangshuang coming so late, they thought something had happened and asked anxiously.

"Daiyama family, what happened?"

Shuangshuang walked over to them and said, "It's okay, don't worry."

I came here to see if your pigs can be killed."

"Why, does anyone want a pig?"

Xu Yougen's family used to raise so many pigs, and the original owner could help sell them.

"Yes, I want three or four pigs. I want to see how big yours is and whether you can kill them."

"Yes, some of them weigh at least 150 kilograms."

There are a few more weighing about a hundred pounds, and you can kill them if you want."

Shuangshuang saw the bigger ones.

"Then ask my cousins to send a pig to my place tomorrow, and three more the day after tomorrow. The price will be fifteen copper coins per pound. What do you say?"

"It's too expensive. The town and the butcher only charge twelve coins per pound. Just go with that price."

Xu Yougen replied in a simple and honest manner.

Aunt Yuan glanced at Xu Yougen but didn't say anything.

Shuangshuang shook their heads, "I'm not selling it here, so there's no need to be so clear about it among our family members."

"From the Dashan family, thank you, Auntie."

Xu Dashan's military service over the years has made the two old people feel sorry for his original self.

However, the original owner was not an unreasonable person, and he might have had some resentment at the beginning.

But later, when some people in the village said that the two old people were cruel and pushed their only nephew out, the original body would also help to explain.

After all, it was a fact that none of Xu Yougen's three sons had a son, and the villagers gradually stopped talking about it.

Shuangshuang waved her hands and said, "We are all family, so why bother saying thank you? I'll go back first. The children are home alone."

"Okay, you don't have to come over tomorrow. I'll have your cousins bring it over to you."

The next day at dawn, several cousins tied up a pig and carried it over.

When they weighed themselves, they saw 156 pounds. They both sighed. If they fed a pig for a whole year, wouldn't it weigh or pounds?

But here, a pig weighing more than 150 kilograms is considered a fat pig.

There is no way around it because the pigs are of different breeds and they are not fed with any feed, so they are all raised on grass from start to finish.

Because Xu Yougen's family was hardworking and the original owner helped sell livestock from time to time, their life was relatively easy and they could make some money.

Some families use the rice bran for their own consumption, so how can they raise pigs or chickens?

Shuangshuang also got up early and boiled a large pot of water in the backyard.

The wealthy men didn't let her do anything at all. They killed the pig quickly, and Shuangshuang just helped to sprinkle some salt.

She wanted to use the meat to make bacon, so she chopped off a pair of pork ribs, two pig's feet, and a set of pig's offal, along with two pieces of pig fat, and gave them to her cousins to take home and eat.
