Scumbag Handbook
Chapter 26
"That's right, we have a small field in the back house, but we already have a vegetable field in the front yard, so we want to grow bamboo in the back house."
Hearing the words outside, Old Man Li wanted to participate even more, so he urged Li Hongwen a few more times, "Hurry up."
Li Hongwen could only bite the bullet and sign it, thinking that his parents loved him the most anyway, and it would be fine if they burned the IOU for a while.
Thinking of this, he felt a little lighter in his heart, and there was no pressure. After finishing writing, he told Old Man Li, "Keep it well, so I can show my sister-in-law when she comes back, so she can rest assured that we are all one family, don't make trouble." If it becomes like this, others will only see it as a joke.”
"Who says it's not, but you have to take care of your daughter-in-law. If you talk about your in-laws outside, you will lose face."
Old man Li felt a little sour. The second child has been living in the old man's house. In order not to be angry, he must support the second child, but what about them?
Thinking about it, he put the IOU back into the house and locked the door by the way.
Li Hongwen who saw all this: .....this habit is really...
He couldn't do anything he wanted to do.
Seeing old man Li go out to talk with Mo Cheng, he thought about it and followed him out, inserting a few words from time to time, but Mo Cheng was not enthusiastic about him, but was more affectionate to Li Hongwen.
This made Li Hongwen, who had always been popular, feel a little uncomfortable. The more he tried to join the conversation, the more people would notice his intentions.
No, old man Li and Mo Cheng will not talk about it, Li Hongbing, who has always been more straightforward, can see it.
So he stopped discussing the issue of bamboo seeds with Mo Cheng, and said directly, "I'll come over after washing my clothes."
"OK, then I'll go first."
Mo Cheng waved his hand and strode away.
Old man Li went out for a walk with his hands behind his back. Li Hongwen's two children were playing with their mobile phones in the room, and they were the only two brothers in the yard.
"Brother, I don't see that you are very popular."
Li Hongwen boasted dryly.
Li Hongbing lowered his head to wash his clothes, "What kind of popularity can I have? My parents at home like you the most, and outside, you are also the most promising in our family. I am nothing."
How strange are these words, the old elder brother would not say these words.
Li Hongwen also understood when she thought about Zhang Lijuan running away from home, "Brother, the husband and wife have no overnight feud, so let's find a chance to go to Zhang's house and bring back my sister-in-law."
Zhang family?
Li Hongbing paused, but did not explain.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Hongwen simply took the two children to Xiao's house.
Xiao Lezheng, Li Xiangkang, and Li Xiaomei were playing badminton in the yard. After seeing Li Hongwen, he quickly asked his two children to join in, but the two were unwilling and hid behind him.
Although these two boys were spoiled, they were a little afraid of Li Xiangkang.
Wherever there is Li Xiangkang, neither of them will go close.
Seeing that they didn't live up to expectations, Li Hongwen had no choice but to take them into the main room. After entering, he found that the room was very well furnished, not only the yard was different, but also the style and decoration inside were different from when Uncle and the others lived.
As expected of a person from a big city, the aesthetics are really nice.
Maybe Xiao's father, Xiao's mother, and Mo Cheng's temperament were there, and Li Hongwen's two children didn't want to stay in the hall, so they ran back to Li Hongbing's house directly.
"The two children are a little embarrassed."
Li Hongwen explained dryly.
"It's normal, baby."
Mother Xiao smiled to ease the embarrassing atmosphere, "You're welcome to eat fruit."
"thanks, thanks."
When Li Hongwen saw Father Xiao fascinated by the book, he was embarrassed to speak until he saw Li Xiaomei and Li Xiangkang's homework on the small table.
"Little sister and Xiang Kang are bothering you."
"No trouble," Mo Cheng peeled an apple, "These two children are sensible and obedient, we like them very much."
"Yeah, I rarely see such a sensible child," Mother Xiao also praised sincerely.
Xiao's father took the book and nodded, expressing his agreement with his wife's words.
This made it difficult for Li Hongwen to express his request. He said a few words back and forth, and it was the same as not saying it. This made Li Hongwen, who felt that he had mastered interpersonal communication, somewhat frustrated.
I also scolded the two brats in my heart, if they don't leave, I can still say the tutoring, and now the child is not here, what should I say?
After Li Hongwen sat dryly for a while, he came to the yard, ready to get close to the youngest Xiao Le, but Xiao Le played one against two, but didn't talk much, finally Li Hongwen had to touch his nose and go back.
As soon as he walked out of Xiao's courtyard, he met Li Hongbing who was carrying a basket and a hoe, so he turned his eyes and pulled him forward and said in a low voice, "Brother, I want to ask you something."
"I have something to do now, let's talk about it when I go back."
Li Hongbing walked past him as he spoke.
Li Hongwen:? ? ?
Planting bamboo roots is also a technical job, Xiao Le and Mo Cheng naturally can't do that, so they asked Li Hongbing to help.
Because there was a small piece of bamboo forest in their back room, so Li Hongbing first went to see if there were any suitable roots, but the ones he found were not enough for the small field over there, so Li Hongbing said conveniently.
"Go to my bamboo forest, it's up there."
Li Hongbing took Xiao Le and the others up, and Li Xiangkang and his brothers were doing their homework at home, with Xiao's father tutoring them.
Digging bamboo roots is also a technical job. If it is not done well, the living roots will be damaged, and such bamboo roots will not survive if planted.
Xiao Le and Mo Cheng were on the sidelines, and Li Hongbing was the main person digging the bamboo roots.
"Did Dad give you money yesterday?"
It was okay at first, but after about half an hour, Li Hongbing heard the two brothers talking and their style of painting changed a bit.
Because they were right next to Li Hongbing, Li Hongbing couldn't listen to them.
"Given fifty thousand, what's the matter?"
Xiao Le responded casually.
Mo Cheng's tone was a bit sour, "You are such an adult, yet you still give you so much pocket money."
Fifty thousand pocket money?Li Hongbing also felt a little sour.
"Who made me the darling of my parents?" Xiao Le glanced at Li Hongbing and raised his voice, "Besides, didn't mom give you tens of thousands? You didn't want it."
"I have a company that pays dividends, unlike you, who even ask my parents for money."
"No way, they love me so much, are you jealous?"
Li Hongbing was terrified when he heard that, he was afraid that the two of them would fight, after all they both had hoes in their hands, if something happened to the fight, it would be troublesome, just when he was about to say a few words of persuasion, Mo Cheng suddenly smiled.
"Envy is jealousy, who made you my younger brother? I'll give you another [-], how about Tiancheng Liuliu Dashun?"
Hearing this, Li Hongbing was taken aback.
After all, he had heard Mo Cheng say that his parents favored his younger brother more than once, and thought that...
Unexpectedly, he himself loves his younger brother.
"Brother is so kind, give me a kiss!"
Xiao Le held Mo Cheng's face with his muddy hands, leaned forward and kissed the corner of his mouth.
Fortunately, Li Hongbing had his head down.
"Okay, how grown up are you still doing this?" Although he said so, the voice was still smiling, Li Hongbing lowered his eyes and thought to himself.
"Besides, don't think I don't know. During the Chinese New Year, you sent [-] to your parents. Is the small treasury gone?"
"Gone."
"Don't be afraid, brother will support you."
"Thank you bro~"
Li Hongbing shook his arms, trying to shake off the goosebumps aroused by Xiao Le's small voice.
"I'm laughing," Mo Cheng said to Li Hongbing seeing this.
What can Li Hongbing say?
The world of the rich is good, but the contrast is also strong. The younger brother said that he was gnawing on the old, but he gave his parents a lot of money every year.
And what about his younger siblings?
It's not that Li Hongbing didn't know that his parents posted money to them, but he has lived like this since he was a child. But that day, after hearing what Mo Cheng said that if he was Zhang Lijuan, Li Hongbing suddenly felt that he was really a failure and very pitiful.
He always thought that filial piety should come first in life.
The old people in the village, including the old father-in-law and the others, praised him as a good boy and really filial piety when they saw him.
But my daughter and son feel that it is not like this...
When transplanting bamboo roots, Li Hongbing remained silent. When he returned to Xiao's home after work, Xiao's mother offered them mint water with some ice cubes for them to drink.
As soon as Xiao Le was about to serve it, he was dragged by Mo Cheng to wash his hands, and Li Hongbing hurried to wash up too, and then he drank the refreshing and cool mint water.
How long has it been since you enjoyed the care of your elders?
As if... never.
Li Hongbing looked at his son and daughter talking and laughing, and remembered how they were silent when they were at home, and his heart felt sour.
"I'll eat here tonight. I'll cook the fish. How about you try my cooking?"
Xiao's mother had already let go, and Li Xiangkang and Li Xiaomei happily followed behind to fight. The laughter from the kitchen made Li Hongbing feel that mint water is so sweet.
It would be nice if the mother of the child was by her side.
But thinking of this, Li Hongbing suddenly came to his senses, no, he can't come back now, although this place is nice, it's not the Li family.
He calmed down immediately.
In such a short afternoon, Li Hongbing thought through a lot.
They ate here, and Li Hongwen had to cook by himself again. During the meal, Li Hongwen mentioned Li Hongbing and the three of them, "It's okay for the children to eat and drink when they are young, why is the elder brother like this? There are old people at home, don't you care?"
In the end, Mrs. Li and the others were not angry, but thought it was a good thing.
"He is looking for help from the Red Soldier, and he is a hospitable person, so why don't you keep it for dinner? Besides, you want to find someone to do business, so the closer you can be, the better?"
But it's not their family that's close.
Li Hongwen was very annoyed.
When the three of Li Hongbing came back, Li Hongwen glanced at Li Xiaomei, "Little sister, it's better for girls to eat less at other people's houses, because they will be laughed at."
"Who is it? What age is this, whose mouth is as smelly and long as the old lady's foot wrap?"
Li Xiaomei's sharp teeth made Li Hongwen frowned, "How does this kid talk? As my second uncle, I only say a few words for your own good. Why don't you know what to say?"
"What's wrong with me? I'm talking about those gossipers that Uncle Er said, not Uncle Er. What are you in a hurry for, Uncle Er?"
Li Xiaomei looked innocent and ran to tell Li Hongbing.
Li Hongbing didn't speak, Li Xiaomei was a little disappointed.
Li Xiangkang snorted softly and told Li Xiaomei to go back to her room to sleep.
Then he intentionally bumped into his two cousins a couple of times, making them angry and dare not speak up, and then he leisurely went back to his room.
Originally, the two brothers and sisters had no hope for Li Hongbing, but after 10 minutes, they heard Li Hongbing talking about the children of the second uncle's family.
"You're such an adult, you haven't called me uncle since you got home. Why, the teacher didn't tell you what politeness is? Your parents didn't teach you what it means to respect the old and love the young?"
"Brother, why are you talking so seriously? We are all a family, so do you want to be as polite as outsiders?"
"I'm not as good as an outsider! I'm not as good as an outsider!"
Li Hongbing returned to the room angrily, and closed the door heavily. Li Xiangkang and Li Xiaomei are doing the same thing now, standing behind the door of their own room, leaning their heads and ears on the door to listen.
Laughing while listening.
"Brother, what's wrong with him? Why are you so angry?"
Mrs. Li and Old Man Li felt that it was because their daughter-in-law hadn't come back, so they must be very upset. In addition, they did move the money, and they felt guilty.
So he blurted a few words and made a few muddles.
Li Hongwen only felt that not only the elder brother had changed after coming back this time, but even the old man had changed too.
Is it because of money?
Thinking of this, Li Hongwen didn't ask any more questions. He just smacked the child and asked them to remember to call him uncle tomorrow morning.
"You guys still have to stay here for a summer vacation. No matter how impolite you are, you will be scolded this time, and you will be beaten next time!"
This made Mrs. Li unhappy, "With me here, who dares to touch them at home? Don't scare them!"
"Yes."
Old man Li nodded.
Xiao family.
Xiao Le, who was full of food and drink, was lying on the cool chair, blowing the night breeze, looking at the stars in the sky, still yelling at Mo Cheng to take out the electric fan, "There are also mosquito coils!"
Mo Cheng followed suit honestly, and brought Xiao Le a glass of ice water at the end, and then brought a high stool, and sat beside Xiao Le, "Come, I'll give you a massage."
"Work harder, or I won't give you money."
After Xiao Le took a sip of the ice water, he turned over contentedly, and said lazily to Mo Cheng.
"Guaranteed to satisfy you."
Mo Cheng's service was really good. Half an hour later, after the family fell asleep around him, Xiao Le, who was snoring a little, looked straight at him.
"He sleeps really well."
Father Xiao sighed.
"This kid has been like this since he was a child, Chengcheng, you can take him back to the room to sleep, there are many mosquitoes."
Mother Xiao withdrew her hand that wanted to poke Xiao Le's face.
"I know, parents, go back to your room and rest."
Mo Cheng carried Xiao Le back to his room, and just as he lay down, he heard the other party talking in his sleep.
"Use a little force, haven't you eaten?"
Mo Cheng:...
He bit Xiao Le's neck, "Wait."
In the end, Xiao Le slapped him on the face, and he kept yelling, "Brother Cheng has mosquitoes..."
The next day, Xiao Le looked at his neck in the mirror, "Brother Cheng, you are too poisonous."
The neck was sucked out of a four-leaf clover shape.
The man hugged him from behind, and his handsome face appeared in the mirror together, "How pretty."
"Looks like a hammer," Xiao Le covered his neck in distress, "Dad is going to talk again."
"It's also about me, let's go out and eat."
Hearing this, Xiao Le was also satisfied, happily went to wash up, and then ate the egg noodles cooked by Father Xiao.
Father Xiao didn't say anything during the meal, and Mother Xiao just smiled ambiguously.
After the meal, Xiao's father found an excuse and told Mo Cheng all over.
Mo Cheng stood there listening, with his hands behind his back and his head down listening to the training, like when he was caught by the dean in high school, Xiao Le was holding a big apple while gnawing on it while looking at Sha Le.
Mo Cheng glanced at him from time to time.
After Xiao's father was satisfied and let Mo Cheng go, Mo Cheng came in front of Xiao Le, aimed at the apple in his hand and bit off more than half of it.
Xiao Le: ...What a dog!
Xiao Le, who finished half of the apple bitterly, went to Li's house again, brought the brother and sister home to play badminton first, and then watched them do their homework.
"Is your father at home or has he gone to the field?"
Mo Cheng asked Li Xiangkang when he entered the hall.
"At home, I went back to lie down after breakfast," Li Xiangkang said happily about his father, "I don't know what's wrong with him. Uncle went to help him harvest the corn in the field, the second uncle has not worked for many years, how could he be willing."
Because Xiao Le and the others helped Zhang Lijuan, Li Xiangkang brothers and sisters trusted the Xiao family more, and they were so kind to the two brothers and sisters, so they naturally liked the people from the Xiao family more.
"Maybe you figured it out?"
Xiao Le touched his chin and said.
"I hope so," Li Xiangkang stroked Li Xiaomei's braid, "Actually, my dad is... well, I can't tell."
"Do your homework quickly," Xiao Le tapped his head, "Get into a good university and make your mother happy."
"I am very sure of that!"
Li Xiangkang was full of energy.
After leaving the main room, Xiao Le pulled out the system and looked at Zhang Lijuan's favorability: 60.
Mo Cheng looked at Li Hongbing's again: 100.
"It's better for him to change." In fact, their original plan was to divorce the two.
But Zhang Lijuan's affection is not inferior to her lover's degree, and the children are also...
While they were thinking, Li Hongbing was pulling Li Hongwen to the field to carry corn.
There is no loss to Li Hongwen if he quits the field work, but the loss to Li Hongbing is a bit big, so after thinking about it, Li Hongbing opened the door and carried the basket on his back, and then dragged Li Hongwen who was about to say goodbye to his parents. Work in the fields.
"What time is it now, you can go back in the afternoon, come on, then."
Li Hongbing said while throwing corn into Li Hongwen's back basket, Li Hongwen was angry and anxious, "I said I have something to do, why didn't you listen?"
"There are fewer and fewer jobs in your factory. I heard that several of them have been laid off. What can you do?"
Li Hongwen poked his heart, "Besides, there are so many jobs in this field, how can I do it all by myself? Your sister-in-law hasn't come back, so I have to grab you to help out?"
"Speaking of sister-in-law, go and bring her back."
Li Hongwen said.
"I would have gone if I could pick it up, and she is still angry with me. I have to correct it, and then she will forgive me and come back."
Li Hongwen quickly filled a basket for Li Hongbing.
Li Hongwen, who hadn’t worked for many years, was miserable. He finally carried his back home and was sweating profusely. He had just rested for a while and was about to run away, but Li Hongbing found him after seeing that he hadn’t returned to the field for a long time!
"Why are you still as lazy as when you were a child? Come on, the field is full of work."
"I....."
"Didn't you say you want to be filial to your parents? This is your filial piety. Let's go."
"...I'll only work all morning, and I really have to go in the afternoon."
When he left in the afternoon, Li Hongwen's shoulders were worn out by the straps of his backpack, his arms were no longer his own, and his legs were no longer his own.
When passing by Xiao's house, Xiao Le and Mo Cheng praised him fiercely, and finally they saw Mrs. Li's figure appearing at the end of the small road, and shouted loudly.
"What? You will come back next week to help with the work? Oh, second brother, you are so filial! Old aunt is so lucky!"
Xiao Le's exaggerated voice made Li Hongwen blush.
He hurried away, but Mrs. Li kept responding, "Yes, yes, he has always been a filial child."
"Second brother must be back next week, let's grill fish together."
Xiao Le said loudly to Li Hongwen's back.
Li Hongwen pretended not to hear.
"Earing is not good at a young age," Xiao Le complained in a low voice.
When Mrs. Li approached, she raised a sweet smile and asked if she would eat watermelon.
"Xiao Le, your neck..."
Mrs. Li pointed at Xiao Le's neck and narrowed her eyes.
"Oh, my partner is a bit fierce."
Xiao Le covered his neck and said dryly.
Mo Cheng laughed and was kicked by him.
"Yo, do you have a date?"
Mrs. Li asked Mother Xiao again, "Where are you from?"
Xiao's mother also glanced at Mo Cheng, and replied with a smile, "Growing up with Lele, who knows the basics, he is also very handsome."
"The child who grows up in front of me is really good," Mrs. Li thought of her two daughters-in-law, and she was not very satisfied. She used to think that the second daughter-in-law was good, but now the second daughter-in-law is not a good thing either.
"Hey, where is your youngest daughter married? I haven't heard you mention it yet."
Mother Xiao quickly changed the subject.
"My youngest daughter is also in the county, and my son-in-law opened a restaurant by himself, and the business is very good," Mrs. Li said proudly, "It's just that I'm too busy, and I lose a lot of money if I close the restaurant for a day, so I don't come back often. I don't want her to come back either, I just want her to make more money..."
Xiao Le silently memorized the name of Li Hongying's restaurant, and then sent a message to Yu Bo, asking him how the restaurant's business was doing and whether he knew it.
As a result, Yu Bo's call came quickly.
"I was just about to mention it to you. Now the county is very strict about it. We must do a good job in terms of food safety."
"Why, does it have anything to do with the store I mentioned?"
"It's also caused by their family. It's okay to use gutter oil, but also use quick package. Do you know what is quick package? You can buy a package of braised pork and mapo tofu online for five cents and one yuan. Take it back and sell it for a dozen or 20 yuan, and you only need to heat it up, do you think it is a huge profit?"
Xiao Le listened and looked at Mo Cheng.
Mo Cheng raised his hand and pinched his earlobe, Xiao Le trembled all over, and kicked him again.
"Then this one is closed?"
"It's closed, it's been closed for several days."
"Okay, that's it."
After saying a few more words, Xiao Le hung up the phone and looked at Mo Cheng, "What did you do?"
"When I came here, I collected the evidence and handed it in. The door is only closed now, which is a bit slow."
Mo Cheng squeezed Xiao Le's face again, "Did you forget that after Li Hongbing almost died of exhaustion, Li Hongying's restaurant was also exposed to problems? I just disturbed their nest in advance."
"...I'm done, I actually forgot all about it."
Xiao Le covered his face, "I'm useless."
"You are an egg, and I love you too."
"Fuck off."
Another kick.
Li Hongying and his wife looked dejected. They sold both houses in order to pay the fine, and now they are squeezed into their in-laws' house. The money is not enough now, the difference is 10,000+.
"If you don't make it, you'll go to jail."
"You go back to your natal family to borrow money, that's all we old couple have."
The parents-in-law looked helpless, and they couldn't come up with more money.
So Li Hongying and his wife came back the next day.
After buying some fruit, the fundus of the two of them turned blue. Looking at it, it was a miserable time.
"That's my sister-in-law and uncle."
Li Xiaomei said in a low voice.
They were playing badminton. The two of them had something on their minds and didn't pay attention to the difference, so they kept walking forward.
"Go back and have a look."
Li Xiangkang heard Xiao Le say that the restaurant was closed, so he got up and said.
"Then we'll come back later."
After speaking, the two brothers and sisters ran home.
Xiao Le also wanted to go, but unfortunately it was not easy to go at this time.
"Do you think they will come to borrow money?"
He suddenly thought of this.
"No money."
Mo Cheng kissed Xiao Le's lovely forehead, "We are also poor."
"Hee hee hee."
Xiao Le slipped into Mo Cheng's arms, seeing Father Xiao at the door of the main room staring again.
When Li Hongying cried and said that the restaurant closed down and had to pay a fine, both Li and the old man were shocked.
"You, why do you pay so much?"
"Because they use gutter oil," Li Xiangkang couldn't help but said, "gutter oil is harmful to people, and it's against the law! Many businesses like to use gutter oil for their own benefit!"
"We are also deceived by lard, Mom and Dad, if you lend us some money, we will pay you back in the future!"
Li Hongying's husband said.
"Mom and Dad, if we don't make enough money, we have to go to jail. Your granddaughter is still so young. What will she do if we go to jail?"
Li Hongying cried even louder.
"I, where did we get the money?"
Mrs. Li and Old Man Li looked at each other and said.
"Brother, brother, please lend us some, I know you put 10,000+ in the hands of your parents, if you lend us, we will pay the interest!"
Li Hongying grabbed Li Hongbing again.
Before Li Hongbing could speak, Li Xiaomei hurriedly said, "Where do we have any money? The second uncle borrowed all the money. My brother and I didn't have any tuition fees. Because of this, my mother was so angry that she left!"
"Second, second brother borrowed it?"
Li Hongying was in despair for a while, she knew her second elder brother and second sister-in-law too well, so it was not a loan, it was clearly taken away!
"I got an IOU."
Old man Li hurriedly took out the IOU, "Look, I'm not lying."
Li Hongying and her husband quickly took it and took a look, it was really an IOU!
"Sister-in-law, if you can help us get this money back, we can lend you some money, but there is not so much. I am going to college soon, and it is all money."
When Li Xiangkang stood up and said this, Mrs. Li immediately glared at him, "Why are you meddling with your lord's affairs?"
"Dad, what do you mean?"
Li Xiangkang ignored her and looked at Li Hongbing. After Li Hongbing stared at Li Xiangkang for a long time, he raised his hand and touched his arm, "You will do as you say when you grow up."
Li Xiangkang slowly let go of his clenched fist.
And Li Xiangfa's two brothers went to play in the river with their friends in the village, and they haven't come back yet, and they haven't heard this, otherwise they would have called their parents a long time ago.
Li Hongying and his wife also knew that it was impossible to borrow so much money, but as long as they could, they were willing to do it!
After they left in a hurry, the old man Li said to Li Xiangkang with a serious face, "You are only too old to meddle in the affairs of adults? Can your sister-in-law have no money? They have been working in restaurants for so many years, and they have bought two sets of houses." Yes, I still need..."
"Grandpa doesn't know? The house is sold, and now I live in my uncle's parents' house."
Li Xiangkang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Besides, sister-in-law and the others treat you well on weekdays. If sister-in-law heard this, wouldn't it be chilling? The palms and backs of these hands are all flesh, so you can't be so partial."
"Yes."
After Li Xiaomei finished speaking, she took Li Xiangkang and ran away.
"Look, look! This is the child you raised!"
Old lady Li trembled with anger.
Li Hongbing nodded with sparkling eyes, "It's really well raised."
Two old men, Li: ... It's over, the daughter-in-law won't go home, and the eldest son won't be obedient anymore!
"Bring Xiang Kang's mother back, the money matter is settled," Old Man Li finally said.
"Wait a little longer, the money hasn't come back yet," Li Hongbing finished speaking, then looked at the old man who wanted to say something else, "Mom and Dad, I'm not a very promising child, but I'm filial, and you all know me Filial piety, but just because I am filial doesn't mean I don't know anything."
"That IOU, it looks like it was written not long ago. You did give the money to the second child in private, and the third child also got some, but not as much as the second child."
"I didn't care about it before, because I felt that what my parents said and did was for the good of the child, but this child only refers to the second child, not me. I have a child now, and I can't just care about myself.
"I have to build a home for them. If you think I'm not filial enough and disobedient to you, then you can follow the second child and let him come back to take care of you. Li Juan and I go out to find work. Give."
Everything has been said, what else can the old man Li say.
After Li Hongbing left, Er Lao looked at me and I looked at you.
Finally, old man Li asked, "How much money do we have left?"
"More than 5."
Mrs. Li said.
"We can't take any cents out. When the second child pays back the money, the boss will give us tens of thousands more."
Old man Li was counting their pension money.
"But he said so, can he still give it?"
Mrs. Li said worriedly.
"If he doesn't give it to us, he won't let him go out and find work."
Old man Li said in a deep voice.
They didn't know that Li Hongbing didn't go far away, he just stood at the door of the main room and heard everything they said.
Li Hongwen's family was troubled by Li Hongying and his wife. The neighbors in the neighborhood knew that the couple had borrowed money from the old man, and even borrowed the money from the elder brother and sister-in-law.
Yu Bo was eating at his parents' house, when he heard the commotion, he ran down with a bowl to watch the excitement.
He exclaimed when he saw Li Hongwen being hoarsely reprimanded by Li Hongying for his behavior of "gnawing the old" these years.
He exclaimed again when he saw Li Ersister slapped Li Hongying and then was slapped twice by Li Hongying's husband.
When he saw the four of them huddled together, no distinction between the enemy and us, he was already shouting, "Don't fight, don't fight!"
Accountant Wu only felt that all the embarrassment of these years had been lost. He and his wife pulled the four of them into the house and closed the door to talk, but the door was opened not long after, and Li Hongwen stood at the door and cried.
"If we don't pay back the money today, we won't leave!"
"Yes, it's a big deal to stay here!"
Her husband is determined too.
"I don't owe you the money, and if you want to pay it back, I won't pay it back to you!"
Li Hongwen said with a dark face.
Several fingernail marks on his face were all done by Li Hongying.
"That's fine, you go to withdraw the money, we'll go back to our hometown right away, it's convenient to go back now before we sell the car."
Li Hongying wiped her tears and said.
This is determined to ask for money.
"What does this matter to you?"
The second sister-in-law Li didn't understand at all, why the sister-in-law's family got involved too!
And she didn't even know about her husband's IOU!
Thinking of this, Second Aunt Li gave Li Hongwen a hard look.
Li Hongwen also suffered a lot in his heart.
He was riding a tiger at the time, so could he not sign it?
"Let's go! If you don't pay back the money, I'll go to your unit to make trouble tomorrow!"
Li Hongying said loudly.
Yu Bo and other onlookers exclaimed, that's too much, personal grievances go to the work unit, that's really...
"Return it! We will pay it back right away! You two go and withdraw 10 yuan immediately!"
"Dad, how can we..."
Mrs. Li wanted to refuse.
"You have eaten and lived with us all these years, and you have not paid a penny for your living expenses. You tell me that you have no money? Do you still want us to pay it back!"
Accountant Wu, who lost his face and was so angry that he couldn't hold back his words, pointed at his daughter and son-in-law's face and cursed, "If you don't solve the matter for me, you will get out of here in the future!"
After finishing speaking, he pulled his wife into the door and closed the door with a "bang".
"Go!"
Li Hongying said a little arrogantly.
"Li Hongying," Li Hongwen gritted her teeth and called her name, "you wait for me."
"Why, are you still threatening me?"
Li Hongying sneered, "If you don't pay back the money you owe, is it reasonable to gnaw at the old man?"
"Let's pay back the money."
"Yes, yes, it is not easy for the elderly to save some money."
"I heard that his eldest brother and sister-in-law have two children, one will take the college entrance examination next year, and the other will take the high school entrance examination next year," Yu Bo said in a moderate voice, which also made the onlookers look at Li Hongwen and his wife even more strangely.
"go!"
Li Ersao was trembling with anger, but she didn't want to be watched any longer. After kicking Li Hongwen, she walked forward first, but Li Hongying said otherwise.
"Second sister-in-law, if you don't take your bag or your card, how can you withdraw money?"
Mrs. Li had no choice but to knock on the door, and after her mother gave her the bag, she strode away.
Li Hongying and his wife followed closely.
But Yu Bo and the others were still chattering, and when they got home, Yu Bo's bowl was empty, and it felt really good to eat melon while eating.
He quickly called Xiao Le and told him about it.
Xiao Le kissed Mo Cheng happily, "It's all up to you!"
"Kiss this," Mo Cheng nodded his lips.
Xiao Le snorted softly, and leaned over to kiss him, but when he was retreating, he was caught on the back of the head and kissed him for a long time.
In the evening, Xiao Le went to Li Hongbing's house to watch the excitement with his slightly swollen lips. Li Laosan and Li Laosi also went there, and it was really too noisy.
Hearing the words outside, Old Man Li wanted to participate even more, so he urged Li Hongwen a few more times, "Hurry up."
Li Hongwen could only bite the bullet and sign it, thinking that his parents loved him the most anyway, and it would be fine if they burned the IOU for a while.
Thinking of this, he felt a little lighter in his heart, and there was no pressure. After finishing writing, he told Old Man Li, "Keep it well, so I can show my sister-in-law when she comes back, so she can rest assured that we are all one family, don't make trouble." If it becomes like this, others will only see it as a joke.”
"Who says it's not, but you have to take care of your daughter-in-law. If you talk about your in-laws outside, you will lose face."
Old man Li felt a little sour. The second child has been living in the old man's house. In order not to be angry, he must support the second child, but what about them?
Thinking about it, he put the IOU back into the house and locked the door by the way.
Li Hongwen who saw all this: .....this habit is really...
He couldn't do anything he wanted to do.
Seeing old man Li go out to talk with Mo Cheng, he thought about it and followed him out, inserting a few words from time to time, but Mo Cheng was not enthusiastic about him, but was more affectionate to Li Hongwen.
This made Li Hongwen, who had always been popular, feel a little uncomfortable. The more he tried to join the conversation, the more people would notice his intentions.
No, old man Li and Mo Cheng will not talk about it, Li Hongbing, who has always been more straightforward, can see it.
So he stopped discussing the issue of bamboo seeds with Mo Cheng, and said directly, "I'll come over after washing my clothes."
"OK, then I'll go first."
Mo Cheng waved his hand and strode away.
Old man Li went out for a walk with his hands behind his back. Li Hongwen's two children were playing with their mobile phones in the room, and they were the only two brothers in the yard.
"Brother, I don't see that you are very popular."
Li Hongwen boasted dryly.
Li Hongbing lowered his head to wash his clothes, "What kind of popularity can I have? My parents at home like you the most, and outside, you are also the most promising in our family. I am nothing."
How strange are these words, the old elder brother would not say these words.
Li Hongwen also understood when she thought about Zhang Lijuan running away from home, "Brother, the husband and wife have no overnight feud, so let's find a chance to go to Zhang's house and bring back my sister-in-law."
Zhang family?
Li Hongbing paused, but did not explain.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Hongwen simply took the two children to Xiao's house.
Xiao Lezheng, Li Xiangkang, and Li Xiaomei were playing badminton in the yard. After seeing Li Hongwen, he quickly asked his two children to join in, but the two were unwilling and hid behind him.
Although these two boys were spoiled, they were a little afraid of Li Xiangkang.
Wherever there is Li Xiangkang, neither of them will go close.
Seeing that they didn't live up to expectations, Li Hongwen had no choice but to take them into the main room. After entering, he found that the room was very well furnished, not only the yard was different, but also the style and decoration inside were different from when Uncle and the others lived.
As expected of a person from a big city, the aesthetics are really nice.
Maybe Xiao's father, Xiao's mother, and Mo Cheng's temperament were there, and Li Hongwen's two children didn't want to stay in the hall, so they ran back to Li Hongbing's house directly.
"The two children are a little embarrassed."
Li Hongwen explained dryly.
"It's normal, baby."
Mother Xiao smiled to ease the embarrassing atmosphere, "You're welcome to eat fruit."
"thanks, thanks."
When Li Hongwen saw Father Xiao fascinated by the book, he was embarrassed to speak until he saw Li Xiaomei and Li Xiangkang's homework on the small table.
"Little sister and Xiang Kang are bothering you."
"No trouble," Mo Cheng peeled an apple, "These two children are sensible and obedient, we like them very much."
"Yeah, I rarely see such a sensible child," Mother Xiao also praised sincerely.
Xiao's father took the book and nodded, expressing his agreement with his wife's words.
This made it difficult for Li Hongwen to express his request. He said a few words back and forth, and it was the same as not saying it. This made Li Hongwen, who felt that he had mastered interpersonal communication, somewhat frustrated.
I also scolded the two brats in my heart, if they don't leave, I can still say the tutoring, and now the child is not here, what should I say?
After Li Hongwen sat dryly for a while, he came to the yard, ready to get close to the youngest Xiao Le, but Xiao Le played one against two, but didn't talk much, finally Li Hongwen had to touch his nose and go back.
As soon as he walked out of Xiao's courtyard, he met Li Hongbing who was carrying a basket and a hoe, so he turned his eyes and pulled him forward and said in a low voice, "Brother, I want to ask you something."
"I have something to do now, let's talk about it when I go back."
Li Hongbing walked past him as he spoke.
Li Hongwen:? ? ?
Planting bamboo roots is also a technical job, Xiao Le and Mo Cheng naturally can't do that, so they asked Li Hongbing to help.
Because there was a small piece of bamboo forest in their back room, so Li Hongbing first went to see if there were any suitable roots, but the ones he found were not enough for the small field over there, so Li Hongbing said conveniently.
"Go to my bamboo forest, it's up there."
Li Hongbing took Xiao Le and the others up, and Li Xiangkang and his brothers were doing their homework at home, with Xiao's father tutoring them.
Digging bamboo roots is also a technical job. If it is not done well, the living roots will be damaged, and such bamboo roots will not survive if planted.
Xiao Le and Mo Cheng were on the sidelines, and Li Hongbing was the main person digging the bamboo roots.
"Did Dad give you money yesterday?"
It was okay at first, but after about half an hour, Li Hongbing heard the two brothers talking and their style of painting changed a bit.
Because they were right next to Li Hongbing, Li Hongbing couldn't listen to them.
"Given fifty thousand, what's the matter?"
Xiao Le responded casually.
Mo Cheng's tone was a bit sour, "You are such an adult, yet you still give you so much pocket money."
Fifty thousand pocket money?Li Hongbing also felt a little sour.
"Who made me the darling of my parents?" Xiao Le glanced at Li Hongbing and raised his voice, "Besides, didn't mom give you tens of thousands? You didn't want it."
"I have a company that pays dividends, unlike you, who even ask my parents for money."
"No way, they love me so much, are you jealous?"
Li Hongbing was terrified when he heard that, he was afraid that the two of them would fight, after all they both had hoes in their hands, if something happened to the fight, it would be troublesome, just when he was about to say a few words of persuasion, Mo Cheng suddenly smiled.
"Envy is jealousy, who made you my younger brother? I'll give you another [-], how about Tiancheng Liuliu Dashun?"
Hearing this, Li Hongbing was taken aback.
After all, he had heard Mo Cheng say that his parents favored his younger brother more than once, and thought that...
Unexpectedly, he himself loves his younger brother.
"Brother is so kind, give me a kiss!"
Xiao Le held Mo Cheng's face with his muddy hands, leaned forward and kissed the corner of his mouth.
Fortunately, Li Hongbing had his head down.
"Okay, how grown up are you still doing this?" Although he said so, the voice was still smiling, Li Hongbing lowered his eyes and thought to himself.
"Besides, don't think I don't know. During the Chinese New Year, you sent [-] to your parents. Is the small treasury gone?"
"Gone."
"Don't be afraid, brother will support you."
"Thank you bro~"
Li Hongbing shook his arms, trying to shake off the goosebumps aroused by Xiao Le's small voice.
"I'm laughing," Mo Cheng said to Li Hongbing seeing this.
What can Li Hongbing say?
The world of the rich is good, but the contrast is also strong. The younger brother said that he was gnawing on the old, but he gave his parents a lot of money every year.
And what about his younger siblings?
It's not that Li Hongbing didn't know that his parents posted money to them, but he has lived like this since he was a child. But that day, after hearing what Mo Cheng said that if he was Zhang Lijuan, Li Hongbing suddenly felt that he was really a failure and very pitiful.
He always thought that filial piety should come first in life.
The old people in the village, including the old father-in-law and the others, praised him as a good boy and really filial piety when they saw him.
But my daughter and son feel that it is not like this...
When transplanting bamboo roots, Li Hongbing remained silent. When he returned to Xiao's home after work, Xiao's mother offered them mint water with some ice cubes for them to drink.
As soon as Xiao Le was about to serve it, he was dragged by Mo Cheng to wash his hands, and Li Hongbing hurried to wash up too, and then he drank the refreshing and cool mint water.
How long has it been since you enjoyed the care of your elders?
As if... never.
Li Hongbing looked at his son and daughter talking and laughing, and remembered how they were silent when they were at home, and his heart felt sour.
"I'll eat here tonight. I'll cook the fish. How about you try my cooking?"
Xiao's mother had already let go, and Li Xiangkang and Li Xiaomei happily followed behind to fight. The laughter from the kitchen made Li Hongbing feel that mint water is so sweet.
It would be nice if the mother of the child was by her side.
But thinking of this, Li Hongbing suddenly came to his senses, no, he can't come back now, although this place is nice, it's not the Li family.
He calmed down immediately.
In such a short afternoon, Li Hongbing thought through a lot.
They ate here, and Li Hongwen had to cook by himself again. During the meal, Li Hongwen mentioned Li Hongbing and the three of them, "It's okay for the children to eat and drink when they are young, why is the elder brother like this? There are old people at home, don't you care?"
In the end, Mrs. Li and the others were not angry, but thought it was a good thing.
"He is looking for help from the Red Soldier, and he is a hospitable person, so why don't you keep it for dinner? Besides, you want to find someone to do business, so the closer you can be, the better?"
But it's not their family that's close.
Li Hongwen was very annoyed.
When the three of Li Hongbing came back, Li Hongwen glanced at Li Xiaomei, "Little sister, it's better for girls to eat less at other people's houses, because they will be laughed at."
"Who is it? What age is this, whose mouth is as smelly and long as the old lady's foot wrap?"
Li Xiaomei's sharp teeth made Li Hongwen frowned, "How does this kid talk? As my second uncle, I only say a few words for your own good. Why don't you know what to say?"
"What's wrong with me? I'm talking about those gossipers that Uncle Er said, not Uncle Er. What are you in a hurry for, Uncle Er?"
Li Xiaomei looked innocent and ran to tell Li Hongbing.
Li Hongbing didn't speak, Li Xiaomei was a little disappointed.
Li Xiangkang snorted softly and told Li Xiaomei to go back to her room to sleep.
Then he intentionally bumped into his two cousins a couple of times, making them angry and dare not speak up, and then he leisurely went back to his room.
Originally, the two brothers and sisters had no hope for Li Hongbing, but after 10 minutes, they heard Li Hongbing talking about the children of the second uncle's family.
"You're such an adult, you haven't called me uncle since you got home. Why, the teacher didn't tell you what politeness is? Your parents didn't teach you what it means to respect the old and love the young?"
"Brother, why are you talking so seriously? We are all a family, so do you want to be as polite as outsiders?"
"I'm not as good as an outsider! I'm not as good as an outsider!"
Li Hongbing returned to the room angrily, and closed the door heavily. Li Xiangkang and Li Xiaomei are doing the same thing now, standing behind the door of their own room, leaning their heads and ears on the door to listen.
Laughing while listening.
"Brother, what's wrong with him? Why are you so angry?"
Mrs. Li and Old Man Li felt that it was because their daughter-in-law hadn't come back, so they must be very upset. In addition, they did move the money, and they felt guilty.
So he blurted a few words and made a few muddles.
Li Hongwen only felt that not only the elder brother had changed after coming back this time, but even the old man had changed too.
Is it because of money?
Thinking of this, Li Hongwen didn't ask any more questions. He just smacked the child and asked them to remember to call him uncle tomorrow morning.
"You guys still have to stay here for a summer vacation. No matter how impolite you are, you will be scolded this time, and you will be beaten next time!"
This made Mrs. Li unhappy, "With me here, who dares to touch them at home? Don't scare them!"
"Yes."
Old man Li nodded.
Xiao family.
Xiao Le, who was full of food and drink, was lying on the cool chair, blowing the night breeze, looking at the stars in the sky, still yelling at Mo Cheng to take out the electric fan, "There are also mosquito coils!"
Mo Cheng followed suit honestly, and brought Xiao Le a glass of ice water at the end, and then brought a high stool, and sat beside Xiao Le, "Come, I'll give you a massage."
"Work harder, or I won't give you money."
After Xiao Le took a sip of the ice water, he turned over contentedly, and said lazily to Mo Cheng.
"Guaranteed to satisfy you."
Mo Cheng's service was really good. Half an hour later, after the family fell asleep around him, Xiao Le, who was snoring a little, looked straight at him.
"He sleeps really well."
Father Xiao sighed.
"This kid has been like this since he was a child, Chengcheng, you can take him back to the room to sleep, there are many mosquitoes."
Mother Xiao withdrew her hand that wanted to poke Xiao Le's face.
"I know, parents, go back to your room and rest."
Mo Cheng carried Xiao Le back to his room, and just as he lay down, he heard the other party talking in his sleep.
"Use a little force, haven't you eaten?"
Mo Cheng:...
He bit Xiao Le's neck, "Wait."
In the end, Xiao Le slapped him on the face, and he kept yelling, "Brother Cheng has mosquitoes..."
The next day, Xiao Le looked at his neck in the mirror, "Brother Cheng, you are too poisonous."
The neck was sucked out of a four-leaf clover shape.
The man hugged him from behind, and his handsome face appeared in the mirror together, "How pretty."
"Looks like a hammer," Xiao Le covered his neck in distress, "Dad is going to talk again."
"It's also about me, let's go out and eat."
Hearing this, Xiao Le was also satisfied, happily went to wash up, and then ate the egg noodles cooked by Father Xiao.
Father Xiao didn't say anything during the meal, and Mother Xiao just smiled ambiguously.
After the meal, Xiao's father found an excuse and told Mo Cheng all over.
Mo Cheng stood there listening, with his hands behind his back and his head down listening to the training, like when he was caught by the dean in high school, Xiao Le was holding a big apple while gnawing on it while looking at Sha Le.
Mo Cheng glanced at him from time to time.
After Xiao's father was satisfied and let Mo Cheng go, Mo Cheng came in front of Xiao Le, aimed at the apple in his hand and bit off more than half of it.
Xiao Le: ...What a dog!
Xiao Le, who finished half of the apple bitterly, went to Li's house again, brought the brother and sister home to play badminton first, and then watched them do their homework.
"Is your father at home or has he gone to the field?"
Mo Cheng asked Li Xiangkang when he entered the hall.
"At home, I went back to lie down after breakfast," Li Xiangkang said happily about his father, "I don't know what's wrong with him. Uncle went to help him harvest the corn in the field, the second uncle has not worked for many years, how could he be willing."
Because Xiao Le and the others helped Zhang Lijuan, Li Xiangkang brothers and sisters trusted the Xiao family more, and they were so kind to the two brothers and sisters, so they naturally liked the people from the Xiao family more.
"Maybe you figured it out?"
Xiao Le touched his chin and said.
"I hope so," Li Xiangkang stroked Li Xiaomei's braid, "Actually, my dad is... well, I can't tell."
"Do your homework quickly," Xiao Le tapped his head, "Get into a good university and make your mother happy."
"I am very sure of that!"
Li Xiangkang was full of energy.
After leaving the main room, Xiao Le pulled out the system and looked at Zhang Lijuan's favorability: 60.
Mo Cheng looked at Li Hongbing's again: 100.
"It's better for him to change." In fact, their original plan was to divorce the two.
But Zhang Lijuan's affection is not inferior to her lover's degree, and the children are also...
While they were thinking, Li Hongbing was pulling Li Hongwen to the field to carry corn.
There is no loss to Li Hongwen if he quits the field work, but the loss to Li Hongbing is a bit big, so after thinking about it, Li Hongbing opened the door and carried the basket on his back, and then dragged Li Hongwen who was about to say goodbye to his parents. Work in the fields.
"What time is it now, you can go back in the afternoon, come on, then."
Li Hongbing said while throwing corn into Li Hongwen's back basket, Li Hongwen was angry and anxious, "I said I have something to do, why didn't you listen?"
"There are fewer and fewer jobs in your factory. I heard that several of them have been laid off. What can you do?"
Li Hongwen poked his heart, "Besides, there are so many jobs in this field, how can I do it all by myself? Your sister-in-law hasn't come back, so I have to grab you to help out?"
"Speaking of sister-in-law, go and bring her back."
Li Hongwen said.
"I would have gone if I could pick it up, and she is still angry with me. I have to correct it, and then she will forgive me and come back."
Li Hongwen quickly filled a basket for Li Hongbing.
Li Hongwen, who hadn’t worked for many years, was miserable. He finally carried his back home and was sweating profusely. He had just rested for a while and was about to run away, but Li Hongbing found him after seeing that he hadn’t returned to the field for a long time!
"Why are you still as lazy as when you were a child? Come on, the field is full of work."
"I....."
"Didn't you say you want to be filial to your parents? This is your filial piety. Let's go."
"...I'll only work all morning, and I really have to go in the afternoon."
When he left in the afternoon, Li Hongwen's shoulders were worn out by the straps of his backpack, his arms were no longer his own, and his legs were no longer his own.
When passing by Xiao's house, Xiao Le and Mo Cheng praised him fiercely, and finally they saw Mrs. Li's figure appearing at the end of the small road, and shouted loudly.
"What? You will come back next week to help with the work? Oh, second brother, you are so filial! Old aunt is so lucky!"
Xiao Le's exaggerated voice made Li Hongwen blush.
He hurried away, but Mrs. Li kept responding, "Yes, yes, he has always been a filial child."
"Second brother must be back next week, let's grill fish together."
Xiao Le said loudly to Li Hongwen's back.
Li Hongwen pretended not to hear.
"Earing is not good at a young age," Xiao Le complained in a low voice.
When Mrs. Li approached, she raised a sweet smile and asked if she would eat watermelon.
"Xiao Le, your neck..."
Mrs. Li pointed at Xiao Le's neck and narrowed her eyes.
"Oh, my partner is a bit fierce."
Xiao Le covered his neck and said dryly.
Mo Cheng laughed and was kicked by him.
"Yo, do you have a date?"
Mrs. Li asked Mother Xiao again, "Where are you from?"
Xiao's mother also glanced at Mo Cheng, and replied with a smile, "Growing up with Lele, who knows the basics, he is also very handsome."
"The child who grows up in front of me is really good," Mrs. Li thought of her two daughters-in-law, and she was not very satisfied. She used to think that the second daughter-in-law was good, but now the second daughter-in-law is not a good thing either.
"Hey, where is your youngest daughter married? I haven't heard you mention it yet."
Mother Xiao quickly changed the subject.
"My youngest daughter is also in the county, and my son-in-law opened a restaurant by himself, and the business is very good," Mrs. Li said proudly, "It's just that I'm too busy, and I lose a lot of money if I close the restaurant for a day, so I don't come back often. I don't want her to come back either, I just want her to make more money..."
Xiao Le silently memorized the name of Li Hongying's restaurant, and then sent a message to Yu Bo, asking him how the restaurant's business was doing and whether he knew it.
As a result, Yu Bo's call came quickly.
"I was just about to mention it to you. Now the county is very strict about it. We must do a good job in terms of food safety."
"Why, does it have anything to do with the store I mentioned?"
"It's also caused by their family. It's okay to use gutter oil, but also use quick package. Do you know what is quick package? You can buy a package of braised pork and mapo tofu online for five cents and one yuan. Take it back and sell it for a dozen or 20 yuan, and you only need to heat it up, do you think it is a huge profit?"
Xiao Le listened and looked at Mo Cheng.
Mo Cheng raised his hand and pinched his earlobe, Xiao Le trembled all over, and kicked him again.
"Then this one is closed?"
"It's closed, it's been closed for several days."
"Okay, that's it."
After saying a few more words, Xiao Le hung up the phone and looked at Mo Cheng, "What did you do?"
"When I came here, I collected the evidence and handed it in. The door is only closed now, which is a bit slow."
Mo Cheng squeezed Xiao Le's face again, "Did you forget that after Li Hongbing almost died of exhaustion, Li Hongying's restaurant was also exposed to problems? I just disturbed their nest in advance."
"...I'm done, I actually forgot all about it."
Xiao Le covered his face, "I'm useless."
"You are an egg, and I love you too."
"Fuck off."
Another kick.
Li Hongying and his wife looked dejected. They sold both houses in order to pay the fine, and now they are squeezed into their in-laws' house. The money is not enough now, the difference is 10,000+.
"If you don't make it, you'll go to jail."
"You go back to your natal family to borrow money, that's all we old couple have."
The parents-in-law looked helpless, and they couldn't come up with more money.
So Li Hongying and his wife came back the next day.
After buying some fruit, the fundus of the two of them turned blue. Looking at it, it was a miserable time.
"That's my sister-in-law and uncle."
Li Xiaomei said in a low voice.
They were playing badminton. The two of them had something on their minds and didn't pay attention to the difference, so they kept walking forward.
"Go back and have a look."
Li Xiangkang heard Xiao Le say that the restaurant was closed, so he got up and said.
"Then we'll come back later."
After speaking, the two brothers and sisters ran home.
Xiao Le also wanted to go, but unfortunately it was not easy to go at this time.
"Do you think they will come to borrow money?"
He suddenly thought of this.
"No money."
Mo Cheng kissed Xiao Le's lovely forehead, "We are also poor."
"Hee hee hee."
Xiao Le slipped into Mo Cheng's arms, seeing Father Xiao at the door of the main room staring again.
When Li Hongying cried and said that the restaurant closed down and had to pay a fine, both Li and the old man were shocked.
"You, why do you pay so much?"
"Because they use gutter oil," Li Xiangkang couldn't help but said, "gutter oil is harmful to people, and it's against the law! Many businesses like to use gutter oil for their own benefit!"
"We are also deceived by lard, Mom and Dad, if you lend us some money, we will pay you back in the future!"
Li Hongying's husband said.
"Mom and Dad, if we don't make enough money, we have to go to jail. Your granddaughter is still so young. What will she do if we go to jail?"
Li Hongying cried even louder.
"I, where did we get the money?"
Mrs. Li and Old Man Li looked at each other and said.
"Brother, brother, please lend us some, I know you put 10,000+ in the hands of your parents, if you lend us, we will pay the interest!"
Li Hongying grabbed Li Hongbing again.
Before Li Hongbing could speak, Li Xiaomei hurriedly said, "Where do we have any money? The second uncle borrowed all the money. My brother and I didn't have any tuition fees. Because of this, my mother was so angry that she left!"
"Second, second brother borrowed it?"
Li Hongying was in despair for a while, she knew her second elder brother and second sister-in-law too well, so it was not a loan, it was clearly taken away!
"I got an IOU."
Old man Li hurriedly took out the IOU, "Look, I'm not lying."
Li Hongying and her husband quickly took it and took a look, it was really an IOU!
"Sister-in-law, if you can help us get this money back, we can lend you some money, but there is not so much. I am going to college soon, and it is all money."
When Li Xiangkang stood up and said this, Mrs. Li immediately glared at him, "Why are you meddling with your lord's affairs?"
"Dad, what do you mean?"
Li Xiangkang ignored her and looked at Li Hongbing. After Li Hongbing stared at Li Xiangkang for a long time, he raised his hand and touched his arm, "You will do as you say when you grow up."
Li Xiangkang slowly let go of his clenched fist.
And Li Xiangfa's two brothers went to play in the river with their friends in the village, and they haven't come back yet, and they haven't heard this, otherwise they would have called their parents a long time ago.
Li Hongying and his wife also knew that it was impossible to borrow so much money, but as long as they could, they were willing to do it!
After they left in a hurry, the old man Li said to Li Xiangkang with a serious face, "You are only too old to meddle in the affairs of adults? Can your sister-in-law have no money? They have been working in restaurants for so many years, and they have bought two sets of houses." Yes, I still need..."
"Grandpa doesn't know? The house is sold, and now I live in my uncle's parents' house."
Li Xiangkang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Besides, sister-in-law and the others treat you well on weekdays. If sister-in-law heard this, wouldn't it be chilling? The palms and backs of these hands are all flesh, so you can't be so partial."
"Yes."
After Li Xiaomei finished speaking, she took Li Xiangkang and ran away.
"Look, look! This is the child you raised!"
Old lady Li trembled with anger.
Li Hongbing nodded with sparkling eyes, "It's really well raised."
Two old men, Li: ... It's over, the daughter-in-law won't go home, and the eldest son won't be obedient anymore!
"Bring Xiang Kang's mother back, the money matter is settled," Old Man Li finally said.
"Wait a little longer, the money hasn't come back yet," Li Hongbing finished speaking, then looked at the old man who wanted to say something else, "Mom and Dad, I'm not a very promising child, but I'm filial, and you all know me Filial piety, but just because I am filial doesn't mean I don't know anything."
"That IOU, it looks like it was written not long ago. You did give the money to the second child in private, and the third child also got some, but not as much as the second child."
"I didn't care about it before, because I felt that what my parents said and did was for the good of the child, but this child only refers to the second child, not me. I have a child now, and I can't just care about myself.
"I have to build a home for them. If you think I'm not filial enough and disobedient to you, then you can follow the second child and let him come back to take care of you. Li Juan and I go out to find work. Give."
Everything has been said, what else can the old man Li say.
After Li Hongbing left, Er Lao looked at me and I looked at you.
Finally, old man Li asked, "How much money do we have left?"
"More than 5."
Mrs. Li said.
"We can't take any cents out. When the second child pays back the money, the boss will give us tens of thousands more."
Old man Li was counting their pension money.
"But he said so, can he still give it?"
Mrs. Li said worriedly.
"If he doesn't give it to us, he won't let him go out and find work."
Old man Li said in a deep voice.
They didn't know that Li Hongbing didn't go far away, he just stood at the door of the main room and heard everything they said.
Li Hongwen's family was troubled by Li Hongying and his wife. The neighbors in the neighborhood knew that the couple had borrowed money from the old man, and even borrowed the money from the elder brother and sister-in-law.
Yu Bo was eating at his parents' house, when he heard the commotion, he ran down with a bowl to watch the excitement.
He exclaimed when he saw Li Hongwen being hoarsely reprimanded by Li Hongying for his behavior of "gnawing the old" these years.
He exclaimed again when he saw Li Ersister slapped Li Hongying and then was slapped twice by Li Hongying's husband.
When he saw the four of them huddled together, no distinction between the enemy and us, he was already shouting, "Don't fight, don't fight!"
Accountant Wu only felt that all the embarrassment of these years had been lost. He and his wife pulled the four of them into the house and closed the door to talk, but the door was opened not long after, and Li Hongwen stood at the door and cried.
"If we don't pay back the money today, we won't leave!"
"Yes, it's a big deal to stay here!"
Her husband is determined too.
"I don't owe you the money, and if you want to pay it back, I won't pay it back to you!"
Li Hongwen said with a dark face.
Several fingernail marks on his face were all done by Li Hongying.
"That's fine, you go to withdraw the money, we'll go back to our hometown right away, it's convenient to go back now before we sell the car."
Li Hongying wiped her tears and said.
This is determined to ask for money.
"What does this matter to you?"
The second sister-in-law Li didn't understand at all, why the sister-in-law's family got involved too!
And she didn't even know about her husband's IOU!
Thinking of this, Second Aunt Li gave Li Hongwen a hard look.
Li Hongwen also suffered a lot in his heart.
He was riding a tiger at the time, so could he not sign it?
"Let's go! If you don't pay back the money, I'll go to your unit to make trouble tomorrow!"
Li Hongying said loudly.
Yu Bo and other onlookers exclaimed, that's too much, personal grievances go to the work unit, that's really...
"Return it! We will pay it back right away! You two go and withdraw 10 yuan immediately!"
"Dad, how can we..."
Mrs. Li wanted to refuse.
"You have eaten and lived with us all these years, and you have not paid a penny for your living expenses. You tell me that you have no money? Do you still want us to pay it back!"
Accountant Wu, who lost his face and was so angry that he couldn't hold back his words, pointed at his daughter and son-in-law's face and cursed, "If you don't solve the matter for me, you will get out of here in the future!"
After finishing speaking, he pulled his wife into the door and closed the door with a "bang".
"Go!"
Li Hongying said a little arrogantly.
"Li Hongying," Li Hongwen gritted her teeth and called her name, "you wait for me."
"Why, are you still threatening me?"
Li Hongying sneered, "If you don't pay back the money you owe, is it reasonable to gnaw at the old man?"
"Let's pay back the money."
"Yes, yes, it is not easy for the elderly to save some money."
"I heard that his eldest brother and sister-in-law have two children, one will take the college entrance examination next year, and the other will take the high school entrance examination next year," Yu Bo said in a moderate voice, which also made the onlookers look at Li Hongwen and his wife even more strangely.
"go!"
Li Ersao was trembling with anger, but she didn't want to be watched any longer. After kicking Li Hongwen, she walked forward first, but Li Hongying said otherwise.
"Second sister-in-law, if you don't take your bag or your card, how can you withdraw money?"
Mrs. Li had no choice but to knock on the door, and after her mother gave her the bag, she strode away.
Li Hongying and his wife followed closely.
But Yu Bo and the others were still chattering, and when they got home, Yu Bo's bowl was empty, and it felt really good to eat melon while eating.
He quickly called Xiao Le and told him about it.
Xiao Le kissed Mo Cheng happily, "It's all up to you!"
"Kiss this," Mo Cheng nodded his lips.
Xiao Le snorted softly, and leaned over to kiss him, but when he was retreating, he was caught on the back of the head and kissed him for a long time.
In the evening, Xiao Le went to Li Hongbing's house to watch the excitement with his slightly swollen lips. Li Laosan and Li Laosi also went there, and it was really too noisy.
