"Ma Jianguo, why are your eyes red?”As soon as Wang Yue arrived at Shichahai, he met his neighbor, Ma Jianguo, in the backyard.
However, Ma Jianguo was much more miserable than Wang Yue.
Last year, Ma Jianguo's father, Ma Lei, passed away due to illness.
His mother had suffered a great loss when she gave birth to Ma Jianguo's younger sister, Ma Xiaoqin.
Ma Jianguo was only eleven years old.
He didn't have any means of living.
Ma Lei had spent a lot of money when he saw a doctor.
When he passed away, he borrowed money from Wang Feng for his coffin.
"I went fishing yesterday afternoon and got a grass carp that weighed seven catties. I exchanged money with someone and bought thirty catties of noodles. In the end, that old woman from the Jia family said that she was speculating and snatched the noodles away.”Ma Jianguo said with a sobbing tone.
Thirty catties of noodles was enough for two people to eat for a month.
"Didn't you find the three masters?" Wang Yue asked directly.
"First Uncle brought me to Old Lady Jia, but the old lady said that I had wronged her. First Uncle also helped the Jia family, and Old Lady Jia even slapped me twice.”Ma Jianguo said as he wiped his tears.
"Yes, I understand." Wang Yue frowned.
Ma Jianguo was only 11 years old, born in 1949.
Other than houses, there was nothing valuable in Ma Jianguo's country.
The main source of income came from Ma Jianguo's fishing and the five yuan that the street office gave him every month, or he went out to catch rabbits in exchange for noodles.
Thirty catties of noodles was enough for Ma Jianguo to live a good life for a month.
If it weren't for the 30 catties of noodles, Ma Jianguo and Ma Xiaoqin might have starved to death.
"It's okay. If you don't have anything to eat, come find me. If there's anything good, I can get you some noodles.”Wang Yue thought for a moment and said.
Although he was not well-off, he had money.
It was not a problem to get some noodles from Pigeon City.
Thirty catties of noodles was only three yuan.
"Thank you, Brother Yue! I'll definitely return it to you when I have it." Ma Jianguo cried.
"Do you want to take revenge?" Wang Yue thought for a moment and asked.
"I want to, but I can't beat him." Ma Jianguo said with red eyes.
Ma Jianguo was eleven years old, but he was only as tall as an eight or nine-year-old child.
Moreover, he had one meal a year, but he didn't have one meal. His body was thin and skinny.
"If you can't beat her, then you have to use your brain. I'll give you a way to teach Jia Zhang-shi a lesson.”Wang Yue asked directly.
"What is it?" Ma Jianguo asked with red eyes.
" How about this? I still have three catties of pork belly at home. I'll give it to you later. When night comes, bring it back. You must let Qin Huairu or Jia Zhangshi see it. When Jia Zhangshi comes to snatch it, you'll give her a kitchen knife. Then, take the pork belly, overturn the table, and shout that Jia Zhangshi robbed and killed someone. It's best if you cut his clothes with a knife. Then, insist on calling the police. You have to talk things over with your sister.”
"You have to insist on calling the police. When the police come, tell them that Jia Zhangshi came to your house to snatch the meat. If you didn't give it to her, she took a kitchen knife and cut your cotton coat. If you didn't dodge quickly, you would have been hacked to death.”Wang Yue whispered.
"Will this work?" Ma Jianguo scratched his head and asked.
"Sure. When the police come, tell them everything about Jia Zhangshi robbing you in the past.”Wang Yue continued.
"Then what will happen to Old Lady Jia?" Ma Jianguo asked.
"You'll go to jail, and the Jia family will have to compensate you. When Jia Zhangshi is arrested by the police, First Uncle and the others will definitely think of a way to save her. They'll ask you to write a letter of forgiveness.”Wang Yue said seriously.
"Wouldn't Old Lady Jia be released after writing the letter of forgiveness?”Ma Jianguo asked hurriedly.
"If they can't be released, at most, they'll be sentenced less.”Wang Yue said directly.
"Then Jia Zhang-shi said that I cut the clothes myself and that I handed the knife to her. What should I do?”Ma Jianguo scratched his head and asked.
"Her clothes must be cut at the back, it's best if it's cut. No one will believe her.”Wang Yue continued.
"Oh, then how long will Old Lady Jia be sentenced to?”Ma Jianguo asked.
"Attempted murder, robbery, and the target is a minor.”Wang Yue thought for a moment and said.
Wang Yue didn't have a good impression of Jia Zhangshi.
Living in this world was a waste of air and food.
Besides, when Wang Yue watched the TV series, Ma Jianguo and Ma Xiaoqin were not in it.
Even the Ma siblings weren't part of the cast.
There were only two possibilities. One was that he was sent to the welfare home, and the other was that he starved to death.
It was now a three-year disaster year, so it was normal for people to starve to death.
Moreover, the welfare institute had not accepted anyone for the past three years, mainly because they could not feed them.
Then the possibility of starving to death was the highest.
Otherwise, Ma Jianguo would come back to inherit the courtyard when he grew up.
And Jia Zhang's robbing of Ma Jianguo's food was very likely the reason why he starved to death.
"Isn't that too ruthless?" Ma Jianguo couldn't help but ask.
"Jianguo, you have to know that if you're not ruthless, you won't be able to stand firm. You have to be kind to your friends, but you have to be ruthless to your enemies.”Wang Yue said seriously.
Ma Jianguo was an orphan. If he was not ruthless enough, he would starve to death in the courtyard house sooner or later.
"I understand." Ma Jianguo clenched his fists and nodded.
"Jianguo, it's time for the fish." Wang Yue saw Ma Jianguo's float sinking and shouted hurriedly.
Ma Jianguo immediately pulled the pole.
A huge force came from the pole.
Ma Jianguo fell towards the lake.
Wang Yue hurriedly grabbed Ma Jianguo.
"Brother Yue, it's a big deal." Ma Jianguo pulled the fishing rod with great effort, trying his best not to let go of it.
"Give me the pole. I'll help you pull it.”Wang Yue hurriedly said.
Ma Jianguo pulled the fishing rod back and gave it to Wang Yue.
As soon as Wang Yue touched it, he instantly felt that the force on it was very strong.
This fish weighed at least 40 pounds.
As Wang Yue took over, more than ten people gathered around him.
They were all people fishing around.
Half an hour later, the big fish finally lost its strength and was pulled to the surface by Wang Yue.
After half an hour, Wang Yue's back was drenched in sweat.
The moment he came to the surface, Wang Yue felt that it was worth it.
"This fish is about a meter long, right?"
"It should be about the same."
"This is the biggest batch of goods this year.”
"It should be the biggest fish in the past five years.”
"Does anyone have a big net? Help me scoop it up.”
"Xiao Liu, Xiao Li, bring me my big net. Bring me two nets and fish.”
An old man in a military uniform shouted at the two young men with his straight body.
The two young men ran towards the car. Where did the two big nets come from?
Wang Yue pulled the fish to the shore. Little Wang and Little Li spent a lot of effort to get the fish to the shore.
"This fish is definitely 50 catties."
"I reckon there are at least 55 catties."
"This length is almost 1.1 meters.”
"Young man, are you selling this fish?" The old man in the military uniform stepped forward and asked.
"This fish isn't mine, it's his. I just helped pull it up.”Wang Yue said directly.
"Little comrade, are you selling this fish?" The old man looked at Ma Jianguo and asked kindly.
"I'm selling." Ma Jianguo nodded.
"How much?"
"Brother Yue." Ma Jianguo looked at Wang Yue for help.
"Yes, the market price of carp is forty cents. This fish is estimated to be fifty-five catties. This fish is probably the king of fish this year. How about you give me twenty yuan, three catties of meat, and fifty catties of noodles?”Wang Yue thought for a moment and said.
"Little comrade, what do you think?" The old man asked Ma Jianguo.
"I'll listen to Brother Yue." Ma Jianguo nodded.
20 yuan, 50 catties of noodles, and meat, he had already made a huge profit.
"I don't have any more meat tickets. There are two catties of pork belly in the car. How about using pork belly to exchange for meat tickets?”The old man asked directly.
"Alright." Ma Jianguo immediately agreed.
Now, a pound of meat was worth 50 cents on the black market, which was only 20 cents cheaper than pork.
"Here's 20 yuan. As he spoke, he took out two big black tens and handed them to Ma Jianguo.”
"Xiao Li, bring me the meat you bought today.”He then passed the meat to Ma Jianguo.
"I don't have any noodles here. I'll go to the grain store with my ration ticket and buy you 50 catties.”The old man said directly.
"Jianguo, take the meat and our fishing gear back. I'll carry the noodles back for you.”Wang Yue said directly.
"Yes, thank you, Brother Yue." Ma Jianguo packed up the net and left.
