The small insects suddenly be came a rare commodity. Speculators hoarded good crickets, buying them at a bar gain and selling them for an exorbitant price. Many village heads worked hand in hand with the speculators to make prof its. In so doing, they bankrupted many a family.
Cheng Ming was one such villager. The head of his village delegated part of his duties to him because he found Cheng Ming easy to push around. Cheng Ming did not want to bully his fellow villagers as the village head did him, so he of ten had to pay cash out of his own pocket when he failed to collect any competent crickets. Soon the little proper ties he had were draining away, and he went into a severe depression. One day, he said to his wife that he wanted to die.
"Death is easy, but what will our son do without you?" asked his wife, glancing at their only son, sleeping on the kang. "Why can't we look for the crickets our selves in stead of buying them? Perhaps we'll strike some good luck."
