Li Dong frowned and said, "Is there anything else?"
Song Jiaojiao took a deep breath and said, "You took the money, but you have to write a receipt for me!"
Li Dong didn't speak and glanced at her. Then he took out a pen and paper from the car and began to write a receipt.
After he finished writing, he handed the receipt to the other party. Li Dong said faintly, "I won't go back on my words for a few thousand yuan!"
Then he added, "The reason why I'm asking you for money is to warn you not to take human life lightly!"
Regardless of how ugly Song Jiaojiao's face was, Li Dong got in the car and left.
After Li Dong left, Song Jiaojiao said angrily, "What kind of person is this! Not only did he cheat people, but he also pretended to be a big shot. How can I take human life lightly! "
Zhang Lanyu didn't answer. She took Li Dong's receipt and glanced at it.
Especially when she saw Li Dong's name, she thought for a while and showed a thoughtful look.
Li Dong, a Benz, a security guard in Far away's security uniform …
With this series of connections, Zhang Lanyu had already roughly guessed the identity of Li Dong.
She used to think it was a rumor. She didn't expect the boss of Far away to be so young.
…
Li Dong put the matter of the car crash to the back of his mind.
In the following time, Far away was busy with the reconstruction of the department, so Li Dong didn't have the mood to think about other things.
On this day, Li Dong was reviewing documents, and his phone rang.
Looking at the number, Li Dong smiled and answered, "Mom, what's the matter?"
"I can't call you if there's nothing!" Cao Fang's tone was very angry.
Li Dong didn't care and said with a smile, "Mom, if you have something to say, just say it. Did my dad cause trouble for you again?"
"Little brat, what nonsense are you talking about! Do you think I'm a troublemaker? "Before Cao Fang could say anything, Li Chengyuan laughed and scolded her.
Li Dong didn't expect his father to be there. He immediately smiled and said, "Dad, you're here too."
Li Chengyuan didn't pester her and said, "Your mother has something to tell you, but you have to make your own decision on this matter. Don't listen to your mother's nonsense …"
"Li Chengyuan, who are you calling babbling?" Cao Fang said angrily.
The old couple started to argue on the other end of the phone. Li Dong didn't try to persuade them. Anyway, he knew that the final result would be his father surrendering.
Sure enough, in less than a minute, only Cao Fang's voice could be heard on the other end of the phone.
Cao Fang seemed a little hesitant today. She stammered. It took a long time for Li Dong to understand what she meant.
When he understood, Li Dong said in surprise, "Mom, are you saying that I have cousins?"
It would have been better if Li Dong didn't say it. The moment he said it, Cao Fang said angrily, "So what if you have cousins? It's not like your mother was born and raised by heaven! "
This was the first time Cao Fang had gotten angry at Li Dong. Li Dong hurriedly comforted her.
His mother, Cao Fang's hometown was in Guizhou Province. Because it was too far away, and he didn't know what happened back then, ever since Li Dong could remember, his mother had never returned to Guizhou Province.
In Li Dong's memory, he didn't have any impression of his mother's relatives, so he didn't think much of it.
But now that his cousins had suddenly appeared and wanted to come to Pingchuan to seek refuge with him, Li Dong was also hesitant.
After thinking about it, Li Dong asked, "Mom, that … why would my cousins want to seek refuge with us out of nowhere?"
Something like this had never happened in his previous life. Otherwise, Li Dong would have known he had cousins.
Cao Fang was silent for a moment before saying, "Before the new year, I sent 20,000 yuan to your grandmother."
Li Dong finally understood. This was how relationships worked.
As for his grandmother, Li Dong didn't have any impression of her. But since she was his grandmother, Li Dong didn't mind sending money. But if his cousins came to seek refuge with him after sending the money, wouldn't that cause trouble for him?
But Li Dong couldn't say this. Moreover, his mother probably wanted him to help. Otherwise, she wouldn't have called him.
Thinking about it, this wasn't a big deal. It wasn't like the past. It wasn't as if he could usurp the throne.
They were relatives after all. Although he hadn't interacted with them before, he could just treat it as taking care of two idlers.
With this thought in mind, Li Dong didn't reject it.
Seeing that Li Dong agreed, Cao Fang heaved a sigh of relief. In the end, she still instructed, "If they are still useful, help them out. If they aren't, help them find a job in Pingchuan. Just make sure they can support themselves. Don't get yourself involved."
Relatives were relatives. How could they be closer than sons?
Moreover, it was hard to say how much familial love was involved. Cao Fang had seen them a few times when they were young. In the blink of an eye, they hadn't seen each other for almost 20 years.
…
On the third day, at Pingchuan Train Station.
Li Dong stood at the entrance of the train station, holding up a signboard in a silly manner. He was ready to pick up his cousins whom he had never met before.
He had no choice but to hold up the signboard. It was already 2005, and his cousins still didn't have cell phones. Li Dong was helpless.
The train to Guizhou Province soon arrived at the station.
Li Dong stared at the crowd and held up the signboard.
After holding it up for more than 10 minutes, Li Dong still didn't see anyone coming to ask for his kin.
Li Dong was a little speechless. Could it be that it wasn't this train?
But now there was no phone to contact, and he couldn't leave. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if he missed it.
Just as he was wondering if he should get off the train, Li Dong's phone rang.
He looked at the number. It was a landline number. Li Dong's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his cousins had already left the station?
As soon as the call connected, there was a burst of rustic Mandarin from the other side.
"Is this Dongzi? I'm Cao Feng. "
"Yes, it's me. Cousin, where are you now?" Li Dong quickly asked.
"We're at the small store outside the train station. Dongzi, where are you?"
Li Dong heard this and immediately said, "You guys stay here and don't move. I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Li Dong rushed out in a hurry.
After looking around outside the train station, Li Dong finally saw a man and a woman not far away. They were carrying two big snakeskin bags, standing at the door of the small store and looking around.
Li Dong walked over and shouted, "Are you cousin Cao Feng?"
The man was about 25 or 26 years old. When he heard Li Dong's question, he immediately replied, "It's me. Are you Dongzi from my aunt's family?"
Li Dong nodded and then said with a wry smile, "I just saw you at the train station. Why didn't you come to find me?"
When Cao Feng heard this, he immediately complained, "It's your second cousin. I said you were here to pick us up, but she said no."
The woman who had been looking at Li Dong immediately retorted, "I said I would ask. You said you wouldn't ask."
Seeing Li Dong's puzzled face, Cao Feng smiled and said, "Dongzi, you wrote your name wrong. We don't dare to admit it."
Li Dong looked at the plate in his hand. "Cao Feng, Cao Yu." Is there anything wrong with it?
"I'm Feng as in Feng Shan. Your second cousin is Cao Yu, the one next to the word 'Wang'." Cao Feng explained.
Li Dong smiled bitterly. Even if I wrote it wrong, the two names sound the same. Why didn't you ask and leave?
But it was useless to say this now. Anyway, they were finally picked up.
And the first impression was not bad because Li Dong felt that these two were honest people. Honest people always made people feel more at ease.
