"Erhe, Old Pan, you've been through a lot." Sang Yongbo looked at his daughter, who was squatting on the ground, and ignored her. Instead, he thanked Pan Guangcai and Li He sheepishly.
"If you owe me again, I'll hit you." It was Sang Chunling's uncle, Sang Yongyang, who had pulled her up.
Li He said to Sang Yongbo, "This girl needs to be disciplined. If it wasn't for my dad, she would have died in the river today."
"This girl is really going against the heavens." Only then did Sang Yongbo notice Li Zhaokun, who was walking behind him in a carefree manner. After hearing Li Zhaokun's words, he trembled all over. He didn't know if it was because of anger or fear, but he pointed at Sang Chunling and couldn't say a word.
Pan Guangcai saw that his lips were turning green, so he interrupted, "Let's go back quickly. It's raining. Don't catch a cold."
"You guys go back first. I won't hold you up." Sang Yongbo felt bad that so many people had come out so late at night.
Li He said, "Then talk to her nicely. Don't scare the child anymore."
Although that was what he said, he was actually hoping that Sang Yongbo would give the naughty child a good beating. Otherwise, he would really be too arrogant.
He didn't exchange any more pleasantries with the Sang family. He went back with Li Zhaokun and Pan Guangcai. Before long, he heard Sang Chunling's ghostly cries.
Pan Guangcai laughed. "This girl needs to be punished."
Li Zhaokun suddenly said, "You should discipline your son too. I saw him smoking under the wall the other day. He's so big."
He didn't care about his reputation. His straightforward personality meant that he would say whatever was on his mind.
"He's just a child." Pan Guangcai laughed. Of course he knew that his son smoked, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Li Zhaokun looked at him disdainfully. If he couldn't discipline his own child, what future could he have?
When they got home, the two of them didn't care whether it was cold or not. They took a cold bath by the well and went to sleep after that.
The next morning, neither of them was willing to make breakfast, so they tacitly went to Li Long's house to freeload.
Li Long was sitting on the broken leg of the big table, knocking on it. Li Zhaokun finished his bowl of porridge. Seeing that Li Zhaokun was still not done, he frowned and chased him aside. "What do you think you can do? You can't even do this."
"Then you do it. Just do whatever you want. There are no permanent residents in the house anyway." Li Long gave the hammer and nails to Li Zhaokun and went to eat.
In any case, he couldn't refute. His father had a lot of shortcomings, but it wasn't to say that he didn't have any strengths. For example, he was skilled with his hands. This was publicly acknowledged in Li Village. If it wasn't for his laziness, he would definitely be a good carpenter or craftsman.
Li He ate two bowls of porridge. He was already full, but the salted duck eggs were so delicious that he couldn't help but eat two more. However, eating them alone was too salty, and he couldn't eat them without the porridge. He could only serve another bowl of porridge.
"That girl from the Sang family made a scene last night?" Li Long asked as he squeezed in front of Li He with a bowl of porridge.
Li He nodded. "That girl doesn't know when to stop."
Li Long said, "We slept like a log last night and didn't notice. I only heard Dongmei say that when she came."
Li He asked, "What is she doing here?"
Dongmei's house was a little far from Li Long's house. Even if she wanted to visit, she would have to come at night. Who would come so early in the morning for no reason?
Li Long wasn't too sure. He turned to Duan Mei and asked, "What is Dongmei doing here in the morning?"
Duan Mei said, "To borrow 2,000 yuan."
Li He asked curiously, "Her family shouldn't be short of three or five hundred yuan, right?"
She ran the only consignment shop in the village. Although she didn't earn much, she was considered a well-off family in the village. Moreover, it had been peaceful for many years without any major incidents. She definitely had some savings.
Moreover, her son owned a truck and earned quite a lot of money every month. Even if he didn't help her much, he didn't drag her down.
Duan Mei said, "She said that she wanted to invest in some health products. She's representing some big foreign brand that can cure cancer, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, and so on. She even asked me to follow her. I asked if it was a panacea or something. After lending her the money, I ignored her."
"She doesn't even know how to write her own name. How could she be involved in some big foreign brand?" Li He couldn't help but laugh. It felt very strange.
Back then, when the village was running literacy classes, Dongmei was just like her mother. She couldn't even read a few words. It was difficult for her to even write her own name.
Duan Mei said, "After she went to Shenzhen, she changed completely. She only worked in the factory for two months. Then, she said that she wanted to start her own business, which was this health product.
Anyway, I just listened to her rambling. She said that as long as she put her heart into it, she could earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan in a few months. She also said that she could get a commission for the purchase of the products if she recruited more people.
She said that one person recruited five people, five people recruited 25 people, and the more people there were, the higher the commission. In the future, she could just lie at home and count the money. "
"She fell into a trap." Li He understood what was going on. "Are there many people in the village who are following her?"
Duan Mei smiled and said, "No one is stupid. If they were to split the money directly, everyone would definitely follow. However, no one would do it if they had to invest money.
Moreover, Dongmei hasn't even earned any money herself. Who would believe her? "
Li He said to Li Long, "Later, tell Liu Chuanqi and the other team leaders to go work at Dongmei's house. How can there be so many free lunches in this world? It's not reliable at all."
Li Long hesitated for a moment and said, "The last time I was in the county, someone came to me. It was probably the same model. He said that it was the most promising sales method in the world."
Li He said, "Being down-to-earth is the most useful method. Do your own thing honestly and don't get involved in this mess. You're earning quite a lot now."
Li Long said, "I'm not sick in the head. I definitely won't do these things. It's better for me to do my own thing steadily."
Li He returned home after breakfast. He took out the dirty clothes from the night before and casually splashed them in the ditch at the door.
Just as he hung up the clothes, Sang Yongbo came over.
"Erhe, where's your father?" He looked around and said, "Come to my place in the afternoon."
"I'm fine. I don't need too much food." Li He smiled and replied.
"That's settled then. I won't come here again." Sang Yongbo then went to look for Pan Guangcai. He couldn't miss out on anyone who had helped his family last night.
Li He cleaned up the inside and outside of the house. After drinking two pots of tea, Pan Guang came over, and the two of them went to the Sang family together.
Pan Guangcai saw that the door of the Sang house was tightly shut. He asked Sang Yongyang, "Is that girl still angry?"
Sang Yongyang said, "She has a bad temper. Even hitting her won't work. Look at her. She's been shutting the door ever since she came back. She hasn't even eaten."
He was worried for his brother.
"I'm going to starve her." Sang Yongbo gritted his teeth.
