I am Fugui

Chapter 10

Wang Wenchang opened the paper fan and slapped it coquettishly, "It's a game of cards. It's normal to win and lose. Let's go. I'll give you five silver dollars as capital to earn back your Xu family's fortune!"

Xu Fugui didn't speculate on what he meant, and shook his head to himself, "Don't gamble, don't gamble anymore, Young Master Wang, I think you should gamble less in the future, and I'm a living example."

The smile on Wang Wenchang's face disappeared suddenly, he looked at his shabby appearance, and said thoughtfully, "This casino is really cruel, will you really stop gambling in the future?"

"No more gambling."

"Then what are you going to do next?"

"Rent a few acres of land, be a farmer, enough to live on."

Wang Wenchang sighed, "Can you bear it if you spend all day crawling in the ground?"

Xu Fugui grinned and straightened his back, "The young master will definitely not be able to bear it, but I am no longer the young master."

Wang Wenchang took two steps back and forth, hesitated, and said, "Why don't I lend you some money to do business in the county?"

There was no imaginary cynicism, nor did he add insult to injury.

Although his Xu family is down and down, the previous contacts and friendship are still there. If it is Xu Fugui, he will give others some insignificant help if he can.

Seeing this scene, Xu Fugui wished he could give his previous self a big slap.

At this time in my previous life, because I couldn't bear the blow of losing all my family property, I stayed at home depressed and unhappy.

Even if he had to come to the county, he would deliberately avoid acquaintances, not wanting others to see his poor appearance.

At that time, if I wanted to open a little bit, I might be able to borrow some money from relatives and friends to do some business in the city.

By the time I completely accepted the reality, several years had passed, the New Rabbit Country was established, and the upper echelons of Yunxi County were wiped out. Like Wang Wenchang, he was alone, let alone help him.

When I came back to my senses, I thought about Wang Wenchang's proposal carefully, and couldn't help feeling a little moved.

After all, farming is a hard work. It is impossible to plant it on the first day and harvest it the next day.

It would undoubtedly be the best if he could find a job in the county.

In recent years, the market has been very free, and the government will hardly intervene. If the New Rabbit Country is established, the planned economy is implemented, and all businessmen are labeled as speculators, there will be no such good opportunities.

In addition, I have been crawling in the fields in my previous life, and in the end I didn't grow anything famous.

Only then did he know that if he wanted to make his family's life prosperous, farming alone would not do, the most he could do was to provide food and clothing.

Resurrecting his life, although he does not want to be a trendy player in history, he also wants to try other paths besides farming.

"Have you thought about it?" Wang Wenchang said a little impatiently, these young masters, don't expect them to be too patient.

Xu Fugui said gratefully: "Thank you, Young Master Wang, but I can't make up my mind about this matter, can I go back and discuss it with my father first?"

The old man is still alive, he doesn't dare to make up his mind, and he has never been in business in his previous life, so he has to learn everything from scratch.

In this heart, there is really no bottom.

"It's up to you. Whenever you need money, come to my house to find me. Let's play a game with friends. It's okay to help."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, and the two attendants behind him followed suit, looking at him with undisguised irony.

Xu Fugui pretended not to see that the fact that he lost all his family property had already become a joke in the county town, and it was taken as a negative lesson by many people.

He deserved to be smeared with the word gambling.

Squinting his eyes to see the sky, the sun was in the middle of the day, he carried the bamboo basket, and amidst the chirping of chickens and ducks, he started to go home.

Passing by a place selling candied haws, thinking of Fengxia's two lovely dimples, she smiled inwardly, and reluctantly spent 35 copper coins to buy a bunch.

Walking out of the county seat, the bluestone slabs of the street immediately turned into a dirt road where two carriages passed side by side.

The farther away from the county seat, the narrower the dirt road, the worse the road condition, and the potholes, no one has ever bothered to repair it.

Turning around a bamboo forest, making sure that there is no one around, with a thought, all the heavy things on his body disappeared into the space.

What surprised him was that living things like lambs, chickens and ducks could also be placed in the space, but it was as if time and space stood still in the space, motionless and without turning their eyeballs.

Squeezing his shoulders, he felt much more relaxed now, turned around and walked into the dense bamboo forest, untied his belt to pee.

"Hey, this thing is still so big, I don't know if it will last longer after it becomes stronger?"

After urinating for a long time, Xu Fugui proudly tied his trouser belt, whistled, and returned to the dirt road.

Passing by a river ditch, I looked at it for a while, but I didn't find traces of fish and shrimp in it, so I could only return disappointed.

On the way, I kept thinking about Wang Wenchang's proposal.

If you really want to do business, what kind of business should you do.

He didn't do business in his previous life, but he lived a long time and experienced many things. The young people in the village also like to go out and make a living.

They do business, and some of them succeed and become bosses after a year, but most still lose money and start working honestly.

It can be seen that business is not as easy as imagined, and there are many details in it.

Of course, there must be difficulties in doing business, just overcome them one by one. Now the main reason is that I don’t know what business to do.

Today, I went for a walk in the county town. It seems to be prosperous, but there are all the businesses that should be there. If he intervenes indiscriminately, there is a high probability of losing money.

Moreover, I don't know if Xu's father will agree with him to tinker with these things. After all, in his heart, he really doesn't have a good impression of his son.

After thinking about it all the way, he returned to the vicinity of Xujia Village without knowing it, took out all the purchased things in the woods, and then walked towards the village.

"Young master, have you bought so many things?" The villagers who were working in the field saw it and greeted him holding a hoe.

Xu Fugui smiled and nodded, "Don't call me Young Master, call me Fugui."

These were all former tenants of his Xu family, but now they are tenants of Long Er's family.

There are more than 60 families in Xujia Village, half of them are tenants. In Xu Fugui's grandfather's generation, almost all Xu family members were tenants of his Xu family.

That is to say, Xu's father and him continued to toss, and more and more people in the village owned their own land.

After returning home under the surprised eyes of the villagers, Laishun and Changgen went to work in the field, and Mother Xu sat on the firewood to weave straw sandals.

"Ah, Fugui, why did you buy so many things?"

When Fengxia heard the movement, she jumped out of the room and saw the lamb jumped up in surprise, "Father, did you buy this for Fengxia?"

Xu Fugui nodded with a smile, and put the lamb at her feet, "Yes, Fengxia will take good care of it in the future."
