Once upon a time, there was a rich man who was very stingy. He found a short-term job and stipulated that he would pay eight hanging wages a year. The rich man was unwilling to take the eight hanging wages. So he thought of a way and said to the worker, "I have a strange temper, don't argue with me when I speak, otherwise I will deduct your wages.

One day, the rich man saw that he was carrying water and asked, "Don't you feel tired when you go to carry water?The worker said, "Tired!" The rich man said again, 'Wouldn't it be better if we moved the well to our house?The worker did not know that the rich man was setting a trap, so he casually said, "How can you move the well if you say so..." The rich man said, "I told you a long time ago that I didn't want you to argue with me." Why did you argue with me again and deduct your two suspended salaries?"

After a few days, the rich man arranged to work and said, "You go to the house and rub a rope with wheat bran, and go to the market to sell things with a pick." The worker said, "How can wheat bran rub a rope?" The rich man said, "I talked back again, and I will deduct two more of your wages."

In June, it was raining continuously, and a hut thatched in the rich man's house was leaking rain. The worker had to repair it. The rich man said that there was no need to repair it, put on a rake, and the rake flat house would not leak. The worker said again, and the rich man deducted the wages of the second hanging.

After a while, the rich man went shopping outside and saw a dog eating excrement. He asked the worker, "Dogs can eat excrement, but why can't humans eat excrement?" The worker replied, "How can humans eat excrement?"

After working hard for a year, he went home empty-handed. When he got home, he told his brother about the deduction. His brother said, "Don't be angry, brother. Wait until I go over next year and get the money back for you."

The next year, the younger brother came to the rich man's house to work. The rich man said the previous words again, and the working younger brother said, "I promise not to argue with you, but if you argue with me, you have to give me more money!" The rich man also readily agreed.

When the rich man saw that the younger brother who was working went to fetch water, he said to move the well to the house. The younger brother found a bamboo pole and inserted it into the well and said, "I will lift my head up, and you will lift the lower side." The rich man said, "Then how do you lift it?" The younger brother said, "You raised the bar for me, and I will be paid two more hangers."

The rich man was not reconciled, so he said to his brother, "You use the wheat chaff to rub the rope, tie the pick, and go to the street to sell things." The working brother did not say a word, but picked up a large basket of wheat chaff and said to the rich man, "I will rub it, and you will twist the rope up." The rich man was in trouble and hurriedly said, "I can't twist it!" The younger brother said, you have argued with me again, and you have increased the salary of two hangers. "

The rich man was angry and couldn't get out, so he asked his younger brother to repair the leaking house. The younger brother brought the cow over and put on a rake. The rich man saw this and asked, "What do you want to do?" The younger brother said, "If you rake the house flat, it won't leak!The rich man said, "How can livestock go up? Besides, can the raked house still be used?" The younger brother said you would carry it for me again, and add two more hanging wages.

The rich man wanted to get the money back from the six hanging workers, so he had a bad idea and said, "You can't grow crops without dung, if only people could eat dung." The working brother said, "Of course," saying that, he used a shovel to carry a shovel of dung for the rich man to eat, saying: How about you try it first? "The rich man covered his nose and said, can it be eaten?" The working brother said, "You have raised the bar for me again, and you will add two more hanging wages."

In this way, the younger brother took back all the money his brother had deducted from the rich man's house.
