Scumbag Handbook

The first thing Li Hongwen and Li Hongying did when they came back was to ask the old man who the money was for, and the other was to ask Li Hongbing how much they lent them.

The old couple's eyes turned green when they saw the 10 yuan in cash. Mrs. Li stretched out her hand and touched it again and again, wishing she could hug it all back to her room to feel comfortable.

Fortunately, the quarreling and cursing of her sons and daughters woke her up, and she looked at her wife subconsciously.

Old man Li knocked on the table with the tobacco stick, acting like a patriarch.

"Why are you arguing? What are you scolding? Let people see the joke!"

Everyone quieted down and stared at him in unison.

Among them, the eyes of Li Hongwen and his wife are the least angry.

Obviously when I gave it to them, I said that I don't have to pay it back, but now it's fine, not only do I have to pay it back, but also let everyone in the community know that the couple is old!

"This is the IOU written by the second child."

Old man Li took out the IOU, "The total is 500 yuan. Count it out. The boss will look at it. If it's okay after reading it, let your mother put it away for you."

Originally, the first few sentences still excited Li Xiaomei and his siblings, but when they heard the last sentence, their hearts immediately cooled down.

Li Xiaomei wanted to call Zhang Lijuan, but Li Xiangkang said in a low voice, "I want to grab the money even if I grab it!"

"I'll help you grab it together. It's our money."

The brother and sister stared at the money, for fear that Mrs. Li would take it away.

Li Hongbing didn't speak, and kept silent.

Li Ersao and Li Hongwen read aloud while counting the money. Xiao Le and the others stood in the yard and just listened.

Mrs. Li's two children touched the cash from time to time, and even wanted to sneak a few in their arms, but the sharp-eyed brother and sister Li Xiangkang pulled them away one by one.

"A total of 500 yuan, and I will add interest to you, and I will give you a total of 9 yuan!" Mrs. Li counted another 5000 yuan loudly and made it [-] yuan.

When Li Hongbing stepped forward, Mrs. Li was about to stretch out her skinny hands to collect the money. Li Xiangkang and Li Xiaomei, one holding a schoolbag, stuffed the money into the bag with a speed that was jaw-dropping. .

"What are you doing?!"

Mrs. Li exclaimed.

Li Xiangkang hugged his schoolbag tightly and looked at Li Hongbing, "Dad, I can't give this money to grandma, we still need to study!"

"Well, listen to you," Li Hongbing's words made everyone stunned. After all, he is very filial, how could he refute old man Li in front of so many people, let alone listen to old lady Li.

As soon as Li Xiangkang heard this, he took Li Xiaomei and ran towards Xiao Le and the others, "Second Uncle, we will sleep at your house tonight!"

"What are you going to sleep with? I'm worried about holding it for so many years. I'll have someone take us to the county to save it! Brother Hongbing, what are you doing in a daze? Go save money!"

Xiao Le shouted loudly.

Li Hongbing raised his foot and was about to leave when he was stopped by Li Hongying and his wife.

"Brother, you said you would lend us some money!"

"Over the years, our couple has handed over a total of 15 yuan to the old man," Li Hongbing remembered more than Zhang Lijuan, because Mrs. Li had asked him for money in private, "It's only 500 yuan, and the interest is extra. There is [-] yuan in Ma'na, and I will lend you all of it without interest."

After Li Hongbing finished speaking, he really left with Xiao Le and the others.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li were shocked. They chased for a long time but failed to catch up. Mrs. Li was so angry that she rolled on the ground, saying that she had no money, and she had no money long ago.

Old man Li also asked Li Laosan and the others to stop him, but the two ran a few steps in a fake manner but failed to catch up.

Li Hongying and his wife clung to the old man and asked them to give them the money that their elder brother lent them.

The second sister-in-law Li called her friend to pick them up, took the child and left, threatening not to return to this house, but Li Hongwen wanted to leave, but was caught by the old man Li, who asked him to explain to Li Hongying and his wife that all the money was given to him , It didn't work out in the end.

Xiao's father and Xiao's mother stood at the end of the small road, watching the courtyard of Li Hongbing's house burst into commotion, crying, beating and scolding.

The two shook their heads one after another, and heard someone sigh again. Turning around, they found that they were an old couple, and they were the parents of Li Laosan and the others.

They greeted each other, who nodded slightly at them, and then went to Li's courtyard.

He scolded the old man Li who kept hitting Li Hongwen, and pulled away the old lady Li who was tearing Li Hongying's hair.

Father Xiao and the others stopped watching and went home.

Xiao Le and Mo Cheng came to Yu Bo with Li Hongbing and the three of them. When Xiao Le called Yu Bo, Yu Bo was on the way.

After they got into the car, Yu Bo said with a smile, "I already knew there would be trouble, so I decided to go here after deliberation, and I got your call."

"You're smart," Xiao Le praised him, "We're a bit overloaded. When we get to the main road, you put us down and send them down first. We just stop the car on the way."

"Row."

Yu Bo nodded.

"dad!"

Li Xiaomei turned her head and smiled at Li Hongbing who was hugging her, "You did a great job today!"

"However, I'm afraid this one won't dare to go back for a while," Li Xiangkang said with a smile.

Li Hongbing scratched his head. In fact, tonight he also felt relaxed, as if some things were not as difficult as imagined, and rejection was not so difficult.

"Then I won't go back," Yu Bo answered. "Anyway, the crops are going to be harvested. If you don't go back, they will invite you back."

This is not true.

On the main road, Xiao Le and Mo Cheng got off the car, and about 10 minutes later, they got into the car of an enthusiastic brother and went down to the county town. The snack bar was still open at the moment.

Zhang Lijuan and her aunt were busy, Xiao Le and Mo Cheng also washed their hands to help.

Two handsome guys came to the store, and the business got better. During the period, Li Xiangkang called Xiao Le and the others, saying that the matter was settled and he was looking for a hotel now, so they don't have to worry.

Zhang Lijuan and Xiao Le didn't go to the second floor to rest until the guests had finished leaving and tidied up the appearance.

Mo Cheng brewed a few cups of tea and brought them over. A political drama was playing on the TV, and Xiao Le nestled on the sofa, chatting with Zhang Lijuan from time to time.

Judging by Zhang Lijuan's appearance, she probably didn't know what happened in her hometown. Xiao Le and Mo Cheng didn't take the initiative to tell each other, because Li Xiaomei would be sent here by Li Xiangkang soon.

Sure enough, before ten o'clock, Li Xiaomei came.

She seemed to be in a very good mood, Xiao Le and Mo Cheng naturally knew the reason, after winking at Li Xiaomei, they went back to their room to rest.

"Little sister? How did you come down so late?"

Li Xiaomei was so excited that she dragged Zhang Lijuan, who didn't know why, into her room, "Mom, let me tell you..."

She took out everything that happened in her hometown, as well as the bank card where the money was saved, "Here is the 9 yuan, Mom, you keep it."

Zhang Lijuan couldn't believe her ears, she took the card with excitement and disbelief, "You, how did you save it?"

"Use the machine, my brother saved it, let's make it a regular one tomorrow."

Li Xiaomei just felt extremely relaxed, "Brother said, let Dad calm down now, and see you when Mom wants to see Dad."

Zhang Lijuan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, hugged her daughter, "Mom will let you brothers and sisters finish school, you must!"

"I will also study hard." Li Xiaomei rubbed her mother's shoulder, "When I grow up, I will be able to protect my mother better."

The mother and daughter talked in the middle of the night, and they woke up late the next day. Fortunately, the snack bar only started selling in the afternoon, so Zhang Lijuan went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and when she came back, she cooked a table of meals with Li Xiaomei. Please Xiao Le, Mo Cheng and Yu Bo eat together.

But Li Xiangkang said that he wanted to accompany Li Hongbing, so he didn't come here yet.

He had to thoroughly understand his father's thinking and work before he could rest assured. No, even his father's cell phone was turned off, so that those people would not have the opportunity to make calls.

But old man Li and old lady Li stayed up all night, because at the end of the quarrel, Li Hongying threatened them with a knife, and if they didn't give the money, they would die in front of them.

Not to be outdone, the son-in-law also picked up a sickle and said he wanted to chop off his hands.

Old man Li and the others only had more than 5 yuan in their hands. They originally wanted to give [-] yuan, but Li Hongying refused and insisted on [-] yuan. , Old man Li asked Li Laosan and the others to stop people from letting them go.

The money can only be taken away after the IOU is written at the end and it is owed to their elders.

Before Li Hongying could speak, Li Laosan's father yelled at him loudly. Li Hongbing lent the money to Li Hongying at his discretion. Now he changed his mind after writing the IOU. Outsiders don't know how to read the joke. You have granddaughters and grandsons who want to start a family, don't be like that shameless.

So Li Hongbing, who wrote this IOU, was finally put away by Li Laosan's father, who said that he would hand it over to Li Hongbing when he came back.

If this was given to old man Li and the others, they might not tear it up on the spot.

Li Hongying and his wife took the money and left overnight.

Mrs. Li sat at the gate of her courtyard, and after scolding her children, she scolded Xiao Le's family and Mrs. Li, who were nosy, and scolded everything she could.

Old man Li sat at the door of the main room, smoking a dry cigarette and didn't know how much.

Returning to the room in the middle of the night, looking at the messy room, the old couple felt chills.

Calling Li Hongbing turned off the phone again, calling the second child and being hung up, and the third child... They wish they hadn't had this daughter.

After lying down, after scolding their children together, they began to criticize each other again. Old man Li was already very irritable, so he moved his hands, but now that he is old, why is he the opponent of the fat old lady, so he just cleaned it up .

Finally, he was kicked out of the room.

While screaming in pain, Old Man Li went to lie down in the room where the second child came back to live.

It was dawn, and no one got up to cook.

Afraid that something would happen to them, Xiao's father and Li Laosan each visited several times, and each time they came back, they heard the two scolding each other before leaving in peace.

Li Hongbing felt sorry for the hotel money, and Li Xiangkang didn't want him to go back to his hometown right away, so the father and son actually went to work on the construction site in the county.

Sleeping on the construction site at night, except for eating and drinking, the father and son can still save [-] a day.

"It's really profitable."

Li Hongbing said to his son who was sleeping next to him on a simple mat.

"That's why many people don't want to farm at home. Of course, it doesn't mean that growing crops is bad. It's just that agriculture is developing too fast now. In many places, machines can meet most of the food supply. In our mountainous areas, we do it for our children and our families. , most of them went out to find work."

Li Hongbing quietly listened to his son's words. During the past few days, he found that he didn't know his children at all. It turned out that they were so independent, courageous, kind and motivated.

What a failure he was.

When I think about it this way, I dare not see Zhang Lijuan even more. She used all her energy to dry the crops to move bricks, and was soon spotted by a master master. I don't want to learn by myself.

"It's easier to find a job after you learn to be a welder. If you get the certification, you can start with at least this amount of salary," the master craftsman pointed to the sky with a finger.

"one thousand?"

Li Hongbing, who had never seen the big world, swallowed and said.

"One thousand?" The old master chuckled, "The higher your welder's certificate, the higher your salary. Ten or twenty thousand is not a bragging."

Li Hongbing gasped, while Li Xiangkang had already bought cold beer, cold pig's ears, and salt-and-pepper peanuts, and put them away on the small desk that Li Xiaomei sent over, and sat aside to listen to the master speak.

Xiao Le and Mo Cheng looked at the three of them from a distance, Xiao Le smiled and said, "We can only count as assists in this mission, and the real heroes are Li Xiangkang and his sister."

As long as there is a hindrance, this task will be even more difficult.

"That's right," Mo Cheng nodded, "their side is not a big problem, and it's getting hotter today, so why don't we let parents take care of us?"

There is air conditioning below.

"Row."

So in the afternoon, Mo Cheng borrowed Yu Bo's car and went home to pick up Xiao's mother and the others.

It happened that there were no more vegetables at home, and the vegetables in the field didn't need to be managed much. The yellow vegetable leaves were also taken back by Li Laosan and his brothers to feed the pigs.

Hearing yelling and cursing from afar, Mo Cheng asked Father Xiao and the others to leave first, and stood at the gate of the courtyard by himself, facing Mrs. Li who was running towards him while scolding him.

"Where's Li Hongbing? Where did you hide Li Hongbing? Why didn't you answer the phone!"

Mo Cheng avoided her grabbing hand, and said softly, "Li Hongbing didn't accompany us, he got out of the car and left."

"I don't believe it! You take me to see him! Let him get the money back!"

"Old aunt, you'd better calm down and listen to me." Mo Cheng put his hands on his hips and looked at her indifferently, "Among your children now, only the eldest family is more filial. The second and third children hate you very much now , I heard that your money was also borrowed by the third child, so if you have no pension money, and you will continue to force your family back home, then your retirement life will not be very good."

Mrs. Li shouted, "He is my son! He is the most filial son! As long as he comes back, I can have a good talk with him!"

"is it?"

Mo Cheng smiled slightly, "If you are not biased, the boss is still filial, but you have lifted that fig leaf, it is hard to say, take the money earned by the boss's family to subsidize the second and third children, and force them to leave I have lost my eldest daughter-in-law, and I still want my eldest son, grandson, and granddaughter to be filial to you, old aunt, will you let me put it on you, would you like to?"

After finishing speaking, Mo Cheng passed her and walked forward, but after a while, he turned around again and pointed to his yard, "My house is equipped with surveillance cameras, if you dare to touch the house, I will watch it all." I can see it, I can see it, so the police can see it, you don’t want to go to jail at such a young age, do you?”

After finishing speaking, he ignored Mrs. Li's livid face and left directly.

After Xiao's father and the others arrived in the county, they continued to help the two brothers and sisters with their homework. Li Xiangkang came over every night to do the homework.

"A little more tan."

Zhang Lijuan touched her son's black face with some distress.

"Although I'm tired, I'm happy!"

Li Xiangkang said with a smile that Li Hongbing recognized his master, "Now I can study hard, and I don't think about family matters at all."

"It's not that he didn't think about it, it's because he made himself think about it," said Zhang Lijuan, who has been married for many years. How could Zhang Lijuan not understand each other, "He...didn't mention me?"

"What do you want to do so much?" Xiao Le interjected, "He must know that little sister and the others will contact you. It's a good thing not to come to see you before you are ready."

"That's right," Xiao's mother brought the fruit, "After seeing the farce, I understand that these two old people can't get used to it, and once they get used to it, it will be a disaster. You can't go back to the muddy water now, honestly. This is the store manager."

"Don't go back," Li Xiaomei hurriedly took Zhang Lijuan's hand.

Zhang Lijuan chuckled, "I don't want to go back, forget it, you are right, he will come to see me when he understands."

Xiao Le took the opportunity to open the system to check Zhang Lijuan's favorability, good guy: 95.

It seems that with two-thirds of the money back, Zhang Lijuan's resentment towards Li Hongbing has also dissipated a lot.

"Mom, let's go back to grandma's house tomorrow, don't forget."

Because Xiao Le and the others were here, Zhang Lijuan was given a few days off.

Zhang Lijuan wanted to go back to her natal home to have a look.

"It's a pity that I have to work and can't go. Say hello to my uncle and the others for me," Li Xiangkang sighed.

"I know, if you study hard, grandma and the others will be happier, and so will my younger sister," Zhang Lijuan patted the heads of the two of them.

The next day, they took the shuttle bus back to the main road and walked for another half an hour before arriving at Zhang's house.

Seeing her daughter and granddaughter coming back, Zhang's mother's eyes were red, Zhang brother also touched Li Xiaomei's head, and then took out the candy he got from the wedding wine to his niece.

Zhang's father had a serious face and scolded his daughter a few words, but he still softened his heart. He wanted to persuade her to go back, but was stabbed several times by Zhang's mother.

"Didn't you hear what Yang Sanwa said? There's a lot of trouble over there, let my daughter go back to be an old scalper? I don't want to!"

"My sister is fine now," Brother Zhang also helped his sister, "Isn't it just money? If you have money, it's just money for the pension. What else are they making trouble about?"

"That's right." When she thought of her daughter and son-in-law's money being subsidized by them to other children, Zhang's mother secretly scolded them for being useless, "It's so partial that I have no eyes!"

"It's better to be grandpa and grandma," Li Xiaomei hurriedly hugged the old man's arm and said sweetly.

"Okay, okay, our little sister is also good, really obedient," Zhang's mother was immediately warmed up, hugging her granddaughter and kissing non-stop, "Your mother works in the county, and you will come to live with grandma when you start school in the second half of the year. Your hometown is much closer, and you can still come and accompany us."

"I happen to think so too," Zhang Lijuan said with a quick smile, "I'm afraid there will be trouble over there."

This is also her worry.

"What are you worried about?" Zhang's mother swears. "They don't care about my little sister. They don't want a grandson, but they want a granddaughter? If they come, I will ask them for food. Do you believe they can run away?" Faster than anyone."

After saying this, everyone laughed muffled.

At this time, Xiao Le received a call from Li Xiangkang, "My fourth uncle called me and said that my grandparents are sick and are being sent to the county hospital. I don't know if it's true or something."

"Don't worry about it, just keep an eye on your dad," Xiao Le urged, and after hanging up the phone, he called Li Lao Si to confirm.

"Auntie is sick. Uncle didn't find anything. He just... just kept making troubles in the hospital, asking the unfilial son to come to see him or something. Now the doctors and nurses are checking Brother Hongbing's phone number."

"Give Li Hongwen's phone number to the hospital. If he doesn't come, you can go to work to find him."

This method worked, Li Hongwen reluctantly entered the hospital after get off work.

Seeing Li Hongwen, the old lady Li cried, and the old man Li scolded. The people in the same ward watched the jokes for a long time.

After dealing with them patiently, Li Hongwen asked the doctor about the conditions of the two elderly people, and they got all that there was no major problem, and they could give some glucose or something.

When the hospital asked him to pay the money, Li Hongwen said, "We are separated. They follow my elder brother. I can't get through to my elder brother. I don't know why the old man is ignored."

The hospital didn't listen to these things, anyway, they couldn't default on the payment. If Li Hongwen didn't pay the money, the old man Li would call him a white-eyed wolf or something.

Li Hongwen also knew many people in the hospital. After all, his wife had been a nurse here for several years.

So in order not to make a bigger joke, he could only hold his nose and pay the medical bills.

In the end, I told the old man that I don't have much money, and I am very busy with work, and I want someone to take care of me, it must not be me.

"You contact your elder brother, your sister."

Old man Li commanded.

"I don't answer one or two calls, how can I contact you?"

Li Hongwen was about to explode.

"It doesn't matter, you have to take care of us anyway."

When Mrs. Li learned about this, she came to the hospital angrily, dragged Li Hongwen to leave, and said loudly that the old man made it by herself, and they had already given him 9 yuan, which was the best of benevolence.

This is not clear, leaving infinite reverie.

The old man Li and the two quickly explained to the people who eat melons, but the more they explained, the darker they were, for example.

"Why do you take care of the eldest son's money?"

"Yeah, I still care about 10,000+, but it was returned to the second child, and the boss only got [-]. Then he put it in the bank and still has interest. If you put it in your hands, it will be tens of thousands less."

"I said why the restaurant closed. It turned out to be because of waste oil! Okay, you have raised such a daughter, are you embarrassed to complain here? My grandson often eats there!"

"What? Waste oil?!"

"What's the name, what's the name, let me hear if I have eaten it?"

For a while, his attention was all attracted by the waste oil. Seeing that the situation was not good, the second elder was discharged from the hospital early the next morning, and returned home with the unused expenses.

Li Hongbing didn't know about this at all. He was so fascinated by learning to be a welder now that he couldn't think of anything else.

"It's time to harvest the corn. The boss doesn't come back, and the phone is turned off when making calls. What's the matter?"

Mrs. Li cried.
