Hard-earned money (jokes)
In ancient times, there was a small merchant named Li San, who was thin and small, but his mind was nimble, and his mouth was even more eloquent. Li San sells fruits for a living, gets up early every day, and works hard to earn hard-earned money.
On this day, Li San, as usual, carried a load full of fresh fruits through the bustling market, shouting one after another. Just as he was sweating profusely, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves. When I looked back, I saw a boy riding a tall horse, rushing towards him at a gallop.
Li San thought to himself: "This master must be in a hurry to go to some important occasion, don't bump into my fruit burden." So, he hurriedly flashed to the side and made way for his son.
Who knew that the boy's riding skills were not perfect, and when the horse rushed to Li San's side, he suddenly stumbled and almost knocked Li San into his arms. Li San was so frightened that his soul flew away, but fortunately, he was agile and avoided the horse sideways. Unfortunately, his fruit burden did not survive, and was kicked by the horse's hooves, and the fruit rolled to the ground.
Seeing this, Brother Gongzi hurriedly reined in the reins of the horse, turned over and dismounted, and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't ride well and collided with you, I will compensate you for these fruits." ”
Li San looked at the fruits all over the ground and felt distressed, but after thinking about it, since this son-in-law brother was willing to compensate, it could be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. So, he endured the heartache, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Since you are willing to compensate, then please look at it." ”
When Brother Gongzi heard this, he was secretly glad in his heart, he was a stingy person, and it would be good to lose a little less. So, he took out a few copper coins, handed them to Li San, and said, "These money should be enough to buy you these fruits." ”
Li San took the copper coin, and when he saw it, his face suddenly changed greatly. Combined, these copper coins were less than half of the cost of his fruits. Although he was angry in his heart, because of the identity of his son's brother, it was not easy to attack, so he had to hold back his anger and said, "This master, you have this money...... Maybe it's too little, right?"
When Brother Gongzi heard this, he was immediately unhappy, his eyes widened, and he said, "What's the matter? It's too little? I'll give it to you at the market price, if you don't believe it, you can ask." ”
Li San smiled bitterly in his heart, he knew that it would not make sense to reason with this kind of person, so he could only consider himself unlucky. So, he sighed and said, "That's it, just be unlucky." Please. ”
As soon as Brother Gongzi heard the word "robbery", his face suddenly changed, he was afraid that Li San would report to the official, and when the time came, he would inevitably have to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster. So, he hurriedly took out a silver ingot from his arms, threw it to Li San, and said, "Here you go, these should be enough, right?"
Li San took the silver, and when he saw it, he was overjoyed. The ingots were ten taels of silver, enough for him to sell fruit for several days. He hurriedly thanked his son: "Thank you for the reward, thank you for the reward." ”
Seeing that Li San was so happy, Brother Gongzi couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, he patted the horse's back and said, "Hmph, you are sensible, it is not in vain that I have my heart for you." Then he turned on his horse and spurred his horse away.
Li San looked at the back of his son's brother and rejoiced in his heart. He picked up the burden of fruit on the ground, rearranged it, and prepared to continue selling. At this time, an old stall owner next to him walked over, patted Li San on the shoulder, and said, "Xiao Li, you have really met a nobleman, this ingot of silver is enough for you to earn for a while." ”
Li San smiled: "Yes, today is considered a shit luck." But then again, this master is really generous, obviously I was careless, but he was willing to lose so much money. ”
The old stall owner shook his head and said, "Don't say that, this master is not a generous person." The reason why he lost so much money to you is because he is afraid that you will report to the police. If you think about it, he rode a tall horse and rampaged through the market, and if the government knew about it, he would inevitably be punished. So, he's spending money to buy peace. ”
When Li Sanyi heard this, he suddenly realized, and he smiled: "I see, this master is really smart but he was mistaken by cleverness." But then again, he gave it willingly, so why wouldn't I?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and went about their business. And the people in the market, unconsciously, took this little episode as a joke and spread it all over the streets. Like and support, pay attention and don't get lost, and thank you for accompanying every step of the way!
