"Your father, grandpa and grandpa are all like this."

"There are many cunning people in the city, Huba, how can you do it alone."

Hearing Luo Hao's words, Mrs. Liu immediately showed a reluctance expression on her face, she put away Luo Hao's bowl and walked towards the kitchen.

The second sister, Liu Ying, didn't express her opinion either, she just ate in silence. In a traditional family, an unmarried daughter like Liu Ying cannot speak out on such matters.

Although he was very moved by what Luo Hao said in his heart, he didn't dare to contradict his mother.

"Second sister, you eat first, and I will go to the field to finish the work first."

Luo Hao stood up, didn't care about his mother's objection before, greeted his second sister with a smile, and walked directly towards the field.

Old man Liu looked at Luo Hao's back and didn't know what he was thinking. He finished his porridge silently and walked into the house.

Because of the drought, things in the fields are more complicated than usual.

Luo Hao and his second sister Liu Ying kept busy until it was getting dark, and then they went back home.

Dinner was simple noodles in clear soup. After filling his stomach, Luo Hao went back to his room.

After Luo Hao grew up, the Lius and his wife built a hut next to Luo Hao.

After simply washing his body with well water outside the house, Luo Hao leaned against the head of the bed.

Just when Luo Hao was about to sleep like this, there were rustling footsteps outside the door.

"Squeak."

The door of Luo Hao's room was opened by an outsider. Through the moonlight, Luo Hao saw that it was his father, and immediately sat up.

"Father, what's the matter?"

Luo Hao stood up and lit the candle on the small table beside him.

By candlelight, he could clearly see the bag full of patches in Old Man Liu's hand.

"Your mother doesn't want you to leave home, but the man has ambitions everywhere."

"Daddy knows the situation at home. Daddy doesn't force you to stay. It's a good thing if you want to go to the city to have a look."

"This is the savings left by my father and my mother, and I always need some money to go to the city.".

[PS: Newcomers and new books, ask for flowers and tickets~]

Old man Liu opened the bag full of patches, and a large string of copper coins tied with red strings was handed to Luo Hao.

"Daddy..."

Luo Hao looked at the heavy copper plate in his hand. Although there were only a few hundred coins, it was the last savings of the two old people.

"Go to bed early, I discussed it with your mother."

"I'll add two eggs for you tomorrow morning, let's go after eating."

Old man Liu stood up, patted Luo Hao's cheek with callused palms, and walked out of the room.

Luo Hao looked at the string of copper coins in his hand, and took a long time to move and put the copper coins under the pillow.

"Dong dong..."

"Little brother, haven't you slept yet?"

Just when Luo Hao was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, his second sister walked in from outside the door.

"This is what my eldest sister left for me before she left, and this is a little money left by my second sister over the years."

"My father and mother have already agreed, more money is better, if you are bullied in the city, come back quickly."

Liu Ying opened the red cloth in her hand, and dozens of copper plates appeared in Luo Hao's eyes in twos and threes.

By candlelight, Luo Hao could even see the mist in Liu Ying's eyes.

"Second sister, father has already given me money, I don't want the money."

"Let's keep the second sister. I can use it for anything at home."

Luo Hao didn't take the red cloth, but helped Liu Ying tie the string on the red cloth again.

"You child, why now that you have grown up, you don't even listen to the second sister's words, right?"

"Take it quickly, and remember to come back quickly if you are bullied outside. Money is a trivial matter, and my little brother cannot be wronged outside."

Liu Ying watched Luo Hao's movements, resisted the mist in her eyes, pretended to be very angry and threw the red cloth on Luo Hao's bed.

There was also a bit of crying in the voice of the next order.

In such a big family, only Luo Hao and his second sister spend the longest time together and have the deepest relationship.

After the second sister Liu Ying left, Luo Hao took out the money under the pillow and the red cloth bag Liu Ying left behind.

Looking at the heavy possessions of this home in his hands, Luo Hao felt some warmth flow from his eye sockets.

. . . . . .

The next day, Luo Hao got up early in the morning.

Mrs. Liu prepared a hearty breakfast for Luo Hao, including noodles in broth and two eggs.

Ordinary people's breakfast may not be so good.

After eating this sumptuous breakfast, Luo Hao took the luggage prepared by Mrs. Liu and walked out of the village.

The distance from the town to Luo Hao's village is actually not too far, it's almost just over two mountains.

Luo Hao has walked the road in the middle many times. Every year when the family buys new year's goods, Luo Hao will go to the city with his eldest sister and second sister.

After going here and there, I am naturally familiar with the mountain road.

"Daddy, Mommy, Second Sister, don't see me off anymore, go back quickly."

"I know the way."

When he was almost at the foot of the mountain, Luo Hao turned his head to look at his parents and second sister behind him, and said with a slight smile.

"Huba, remember when you went to the city, don't get into disputes with others."

"If you have been wronged, come back early, don't lose face, you know."

Mrs. Liu grabbed Luo Hao's hand, with a look of reluctance on her face.

It was the old man Liu beside him who pulled away Mrs. Liu's tightly clenched hand, allowing Luo Hao to withdraw her hand.

"Our son is grown up, it's not a bad thing to go to the city to see."

"It's not that my son won't come back, the city is not far from our house."

"Huba, go, if you have time, no matter whether you make money or not, remember to go home and have a look."

Old man Liu patted Luo Hao's shoulder with a smile, and at the same time signaled Luo Hao to move forward.

"My father, my mother, my second sister, I'm leaving, and I'll come back when I earn money."

Luo Hao nodded and walked towards the mountain road.

Looking at Luo Hao's gradually disappearing back, several people couldn't help but sighed deeply.

. . . . . .

A month later, in a certain downtown street in the town.

Luo Hao was pushing a wooden trolley into the street.

A pot of boiling hot oil, a portion of tofu cut into small cubes and dipped in starch.

After being thrown into the frying pan by Luo Hao, the aroma of tofu being boiled and deep-fried began to permeate the street.

“Delicious fried tofu~ delicious and inexpensive~”

A loud call sounded from next to Luo Hao's small cart.

Many people who used to walk back and forth around were attracted by the unique aroma of this fried tofu.

A line was formed in front of Luo Hao's cart.

"Boss, I want two servings, and I want hot sauce."

"Okay, objective, wait a minute."

Looking at the business coming to the door, Luo Hao also showed a bright smile on his face.

He skillfully picked up the tofu that had floated up in the oil pan with long chopsticks.

Then put crushed peanuts, scoop up a spoonful of special sauce on top, wrap it in oiled paper, and pass it to the person in front.

A noon time passed quickly, and Luo Hao's business was also very hot. After deep-fried, the crispy tofu was served with spicy and sweet sauce.

It is already considered a well-known delicacy in this street, after the noon crowd has passed.

Luo Hao just started to count the harvest at noon today.

"Hey, the boss's business today is also very hot."

Just as Luo Hao was counting today's harvest, a few burly men walked up not far away and surrounded Luo Hao's cart.

"Master Niu, good afternoon, I haven't eaten with the rest of you."

"I'll serve a serving of fried tofu to the grandpas right away, to fill their stomachs.".

Chapter 6

"This is today's share, you take it."

Looking at the person in front of him, Luo Hao immediately had a bright smile on his face.

From the money box, he counted out thirty copper coins and handed them to the strong man Niu Ye in front of him.

This man is a well-known bully in this street, relying on his burly body and the few younger brothers around him.

In this street, the stall fees collected from vendors every day are actually the same as protection fees, but with a nice name.

Luo Hao was approached by them when he first came to this street to do business.

In the beginning, it was only ten copper coins a day, but after seeing Luo Hao's business getting better and better.

This amount also began to increase gradually, and it had risen to thirty copper plates since yesterday.

This made Luo Hao's income, which was not bad before, greatly reduced in a short time.

Although Luo Hao's daily turnover can reach two to three hundred copper plates, the cost accounts for half of it.

There is also Luo Hao's daily living expenses, so there is not much money left in a day.

Thirty Wen a day, nine hundred Wen a month, equivalent to one tael of silver.

"If only the vendors in this street were as sensible as you."

"Don't worry, as long as you pay the money on time every day, you can do business here properly."

Master Niu looked at the small string of pennies in his hand with satisfaction, and walked away satisfied.

As for Luo Hao's original bright smile, after Master Niu and the others walked away, he immediately looked coldly at their backs.

After dismissing this group of bullies, Luo Hao closed the stall early.

The so-called strong dragon can't overwhelm the local snake, Luo Hao originally planned to calm things down at first, but this bully named Niu Ye was a bit too much.

Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that it will not be long before Luo Hao will be raised again.

So as early as a few days ago, Luo Hao began to unite with the peddlers in this street who had been bullied all the year round and dared not speak out.

He collected money and gave it to a head catcher in the county government, so that he could take down the bullies in this street and gain a good reputation.

You can also get a lot of money, and you don't need to give money when you eat with these hawkers in the future.

The head catcher immediately agreed, and the bullies in the streets were the only ones who could bully ordinary people like them.

People in the government, even if they have some friendship with bullies, turn a blind eye to these things.

But after Luo Hao found someone several times, he not only used money to clear the way, but also wrote an anonymous pleading to sue this Master Niu for his actions.

After Luo Hao closed the stall early today, Master Niu and a few of his younger brothers were caught by the county government's arresters.

Straight into the prison, if nothing unexpected happened.

Luo Hao should never see this 'Niu Ye' in his life.
