On the one hand, his daughter was willful. On the other hand, he had embarrassed himself in front of his neighbors. He believed that it wouldn't be long before everyone knew that his daughter was trying to commit suicide!
He was too embarrassed to go out!
However, he could always comfort himself. Even though she was making a fuss, nothing major had happened. It was a blessing in disguise!
Li He said, "We're all at this age. We all understand that it's normal for children to have their own ideas and not get along with you."
Sang Yongbo said, "After this stage, let her go to Pujiang and work there. Let her see how hard it is to earn money, lest she vexes me at home."
Pan Guangcai asked, "She can't do it alone, right?"
Sang Yongbo said, "Her uncle and the rest are at Pujiang. I won't be at ease if she goes alone."
"Yes, someone has to watch over her." Li He agreed. A girl with a rebellious heart like her would become a victim of so-called 'love' within a few years after she left society. As long as a man treated her well, she would break up with her family without a care for her own safety.
As more and more girls went out to work in the past few years, there were often rumors circulating in the countryside about a girl running away with someone.
Most of them were prejudiced against girls marrying out. However, in reality, without her family by her side, there was no help. Coupled with poor economic conditions, these girls who married out rarely lived well.
After eating lunch at Sang Yongbo's house, he went home to sleep.
When he woke up, he found his father sitting at the door in a daze. He asked, "You didn't go to play cards?"
Li Zhaokun lit a cigarette out of boredom. He sighed and said, "It's nothing."
Li He asked, "Is there something on your mind?"
That wasn't his father's style.
Since when did he become so deep?
Li Zhaokun said, "Mouse King is gone."
"Wasn't he fine when I saw him a few days ago?" Li He was very surprised.
Li Zhaokun said, "Last night, it was raining heavily. He was afraid that the mud house would collapse, so he used a stick to hold it down. In the end, he was unlucky and was buried inside. When he was pulled out, he was already dead."
"It's quite unlucky." Li He understood Li Zhaokun's feelings. After all, he didn't have many gay friends. Mouse Wang was one of them, although he often cheated him.
Li Zhaokun stood up, stepped on the cigarette butt, and said, "You make your own arrangements tonight. I'll go to his house and have a look. It's good to give him a hand. He's so pitiful."
Li He was too lazy to go anywhere. He didn't even want to go to Li Long's or Old Grandma's house for a meal.
Li Zhaokun did not return for two days in a row. It was easy for him to deal with it alone. He cooked a pot of noodles and ate from morning to night. The rest of the time was spent sleeping.
"How can we eat this? Let's go, I'll get it. I'll let your aunt stew pig trotters. The two of us can hug and eat. "He didn't expect that Li Zhaohui would come looking for him.
"That's good." Li He couldn't refuse and could only follow Li Zhaohui.
The two of them leaned against the stove and ate the pot. They chatted, but in the end, they still talked about Li Kuo.
"That girl can't look down on our family, right?" Third Aunt raised her concern. "I heard from Yanzi that she's a university student."
Of course, she knew her son.
"Yeah, do you think this kid can be so lucky?" Li Zhaohui raised his doubts. He didn't even look down on his own son, let alone others.
Li He smiled and said, "Yanzi and I have seen that girl. She looks good and is more than enough to be a good match for Li Kuo. I heard that he met the girl's parents. I don't know what's going on. "
Li Zhaohui said, "I heard from Yanzi that her parents don't have any objections. They just don't like his education level. Fortunately, they didn't object. I'm thinking when I should go over and meet her parents. Otherwise, if the adults don't show up, they'll think that we don't care."
"Yeah, shouldn't we discuss the betrothal gift? No matter how expensive it is in the countryside, it's only worth a few thousand. They can't be demanding an exorbitant price, right? "Third Aunt raised her concern.
Li Zhaohui reprimanded, "These are all small matters. If they know how to live, it's not too much to give them."
Li He wouldn't take Li Zhaohui's words seriously. It was just a couple's act. He smiled and said, "When I go back, I'll ask He Fang to check it out. I don't think it'll be too much."
Li Zhaohui said, "I'm not afraid of it. It's fine as long as the two of them live a good life."
"When are you going over? Why don't you wait for Li Kuo to bring her back so that she can recognize the house? " Li He suggested that the two of them didn't have to rush over. "Yanzi and I are there. You don't have to worry about some things."
Li Zhaohui said, "That won't do. We can't rely on you for everything. I heard from Yanzi that you even lent money to that kid to open a shop? As an elder brother, you can't spoil him. “
Li He said, "We're brothers. We're not outsiders."
After the sky cleared up, Li He and Li Zhaokun discussed about going back. Li Zhaokun did not object this time.
He first sent Li Zhaokun back to Hong Kong and spent the night there before heading north the next day.
"Second Brother Li, you still know to come back!" Li Yi put her hands on her waist. She was very displeased that Li He had been away for so long.
Li He said with a straight face, "Who taught you to talk to me like that? You're so rude."
"Humph!" Li Yi hooked her arms around his neck and said in all seriousness, "Don't you know that I miss you a lot!"
"Heh." Li He immediately turned his anger into amusement. "You little b * stard really knows how to talk."
He Fang said, "Hurry up and take a shower. You smell."
"Okay." Li He put Li Yi down, took off his coat, and asked, "How's this year's enrollment going?"
The construction of Unilever University was not completely completed. Only a part of the main building was completed, but they had already started to enroll students.
He Fang said, "Only 163 students are enrolled in five departments. What do you think?"
Li He teased, "There are more teachers than students."
He Fang said, "We're applying to the Ministry of Education to try to incorporate it into the university enrollment system. I don't think it's possible to rely solely on self-enrollment."
Li He asked, "How much is the tuition?"
After 1996, some of the universities in China carried out the reform and implemented a charging system for students. This was already the case for public schools, let alone private schools.
“2300。” He Fang smiled. "I used to think that education was nothing, but now I feel that it's really not easy. I'm losing money every day. This pressure is unbearable for most people."
"I can afford to lose money." Li He still had an indifferent attitude. Since he chose to do education, he was ready to bear all the consequences.
After the shower, he wanted to eat, but his eyelids were too heavy, and he fell asleep on the sofa.
Li Yi did not let him sleep as he wished. She jumped around on the sofa, trying to stop him from sleeping.
