This is true story in 1940s A man can't get rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse can't get fat without night grazing. My grandfather was a horse-drawn cart driver. To feed the horses, besides night grazing, they also needed feed! Let me tell you my grandfather's story of how he became rich. If my grandfather were alive, he would be over 120 years old. His wealth was earned by my grandmother risking her life; that happened around 1940. My grandfather was a private transporter; he didn't use cars, he used horse-drawn carts. Everyone used horse-drawn carts to transport goods, so you wouldn't get rich that way. But after the Japanese July 7th Incident at Beijing Lugouqiao, the Japanese invaders launched a full-scale invasion of China and needed horses to transport supplies. In my hometown Shenyang, North-East of China, they went door-to-door, confiscating horses. Our family's horses was also taken. My grandfather was dumbfounded. At that moment, my grandmother picked up a pair of scissors and followed our horses. No one expected that my short grandmother, taking advantage of the Japanese soldiers' inattention, snipped the reins twice with the scissors. If the Japanese had discovered this, she would have been dead. Luckily, she wasn't discovered. The old horse knew where it was from; freed from its reins, they ran home on its own. Everyone else's horses were taken by the Japanese, but ours returned on its own, and my grandfather became rich. 这是上世纪四十年代的真实故事。 人无外财不富，马无夜草不肥。我爷爷是赶大马车的，喂养马, 除了夜草，还得有料即粮食! 给大家讲讲我爷爷发财的故事。我爷爷要是活着，要120多岁了，他发财，是我奶奶舍命换的，那是1940年左右的事了。我爷爷是个体运输户，不用汽车，用马车。大家都用马车运货物，你是发不了大财的，但77庐沟桥事变后，日本鬼子全面侵中国了，需要马运输物资，就挨家挨户在沈阳抓马，我们家的马也被抓走了，我爷爷傻眼了. 这时候，我奶奶拿起一把剪子，就跟着自己家的马走了，谁也没想到，个不高的奶奶，趁日本鬼子不注意，咯咯两剪子，就把自己家的马缰绳剪断了，这要是被日本鬼子发现了，就没命了，幸好没被发现。老马识图，脱离了缰绳的马，就自己跑回家了，别人家的马都被日本鬼子抓走了，我们家的马自己跑回来了，我爷爷就发大财了。 |
