He kept offering cigarettes, but no one took them.
Li He quit smoking and couldn't smoke. Li Long and Yang Xuewen didn't take them on purpose. They were already being nice by not hitting him.
Yang Xuewen said, "Zhang Qinghua, we've known each other for so many years. Even if we don't get along well, we should at least give face, right? Is it necessary to make life difficult for the child? "
"What are you talking about? I don't even know how to thank you for taking care of my business for so many years." After beating them up, Zhang Qinghua regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. What's wrong with a little brat whistling?
He shouldn't have been so impulsive!
His wife had scolded him early in the morning. He really didn't have a brain at all!
He had offended a lot of people just like that!
Old Li's family was a big family. As long as Old Li San gave the word, no one would be able to buy from him. His shop wasn't the only one in Honghe Bridge!
Old Yang's family alone wasn't something he should provoke. Although Yang Xuewen was the only child in the family with no elder sister or brothers, the Old Yang's family was still a big family. He had made a fortune now, and his uncles and brothers were all relying on him. Now, he had the final say in the Yang's area!
Last year, the two villages in Upper Bay and Lower Bay fought over water. Shovels and forks were used. None of the cadres of the two villages had a say in the matter. In the end, it was Yang Xuewen who stopped them.
Li Long lit his cigarette, and two puffs of smoke came out of his nostrils. Then he said, "You know too. Even if the child was really at fault, is there a need to be so angry with the child?"
"Bro, I made a mistake. I really made a mistake." Looking at Yang Huai, who was standing at the side with swollen eyes, Zhang Qinghua really couldn't be righteous. Between reality and integrity, he decisively chose reality, even though he was obviously in the right!
"Sigh, I don't even know what to say to you." Li He patted him on the shoulder. "What do you think you've done? You didn't even differentiate between right and wrong. We're old classmates."
Zhang Qinghua was only two years older than him. He didn't expect that his eldest daughter was already fifteen or sixteen years old. Anyway, when it came to children, he lost at the starting line.
"Erhe, if you put it that way, I'll be too embarrassed to stay here." Zhang Qinghua thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you beat me up?"
He proposed a solution that was not really a solution. He did not mention anything about compensating for the child's medical expenses at all. As everyone knew, the thing these two families did not lack the most was money. It would be a joke if he said it out loud.
Li He said, "What are you thinking about? Did my nephew buy that gun from your house?"
"Yes." Zhang Qinghua nodded. He didn't know what Li He meant by asking this.
Li He said, "The two kids were playing with firecrackers at the entrance. Before your daughter came out, my nephew was already whistling. It wasn't directed at your daughter, do you understand?"
"Ah …" Zhang Qinghua was confused.
"Ask your daughter." Li He pushed him towards the backyard. Seeing that he was dawdling, he said, "No one stole anything from your counter."
After a while, a little girl came out from behind Zhang Qinghua. Her face was fair and clean, and she had a ponytail. Even though she was wearing a bloated coat with a flowery gown, she still looked tall.
"This is indeed a misunderstanding on my part." Zhang Qinghua then scolded his daughter and said, "Why did you run around for no reason? You almost hurt my back."
"It's good that you understand." Yang Xuewen said coldly, "I don't want the whole town to spread rumors that my child lacks a proper tutor."
Zhang Qinghua said, "That won't happen. It's just a misunderstanding."
"Sigh, but this child can't be wronged for nothing, right?" Li He would not let this matter go so easily. Zhang Qinghua could only give in in front of them. If it was someone else, he might not be so easy to talk to. It would be a waste of time for him to be beaten.
The town was very small and very poor. This meant that the resources were limited and the competition would be very fierce. To open such a big business here, one would not be able to survive without some tricks.
According to what Li He knew, Zhang Qinghua had used many dirty tricks to compete with the wholesale department at the bridgehead.
Therefore, Zhang Qinghua was not a good person.
"Whatever you say, it's all right." Zhang Qinghua said heroically, "It's my fault no matter what. I can't speak like a coward."
Li He said, "We're all family. We'll see each other often in the future. I don't want to be so embarrassed. If it was me, it wouldn't matter. But this child, we've always spoiled him. It's the New Year and you've done such a thing. He's not in the mood to celebrate the New Year. When you hit the child, many people saw it. If this gets out, he won't be able to face the world. "
"Yes, yes." Zhang Qinghua could only agree, "Don't worry. After the New Year, I'll set up a few tables and personally apologize to my nephew!"
Li He said, "Then, I won't say anything more."
After returning home, Li Zhaokun was very dissatisfied with this plan.
"You're going to let it go just like that?"
Li He said helplessly, "What else can I do?"
Other than this, he really could not think of any other way to deal with this kind of matter.
Beat him up?
There was no need.
Make him bankrupt?
It was not that stage yet.
Under normal circumstances, this was the way to deal with it.
Although he did not grow up from fighting, he had his fair share of fights. If he hit the younger ones, the older ones would come looking for him. If it wasn't to the point where his head was bleeding, the most he could do was apologize.
Even if he really wanted to take revenge, he would have to wait for Yang Huai to grow up and fight back himself.
Moreover, with his current status, it was not suitable for him to continue to be entangled in such a small matter.
"Useless thing." Li Zhaokun was furious.
This New Year did not pass smoothly.
When the dishes were served, the children were more enthusiastic than the adults and climbed onto the table first.
While eating, Wang Yulan suddenly burst into tears.
Everyone looked at each other. Li Long thought that she was feeling sorry for Yang Huai and comforted her, "When we fought in the past, we often got bruises too. It's not a big deal."
"It's nothing." Wang Yulan shook her head. Clearly, it was not because of the two children.
"I'll bring Four and Five back after the New Year." Li He thought that she missed her two daughters.
"You guys eat." Wang Yulan wiped her tears.
However, Li Zhaokun said, "If you feel sorry for your father, you can bring him over in a few days. What's wrong with me staying at my daughters' house for a few days?"
Wang Yulan was startled. It was obvious that Li Zhaokun had said what was on her mind. She buried her head and said, "I wanted to ask him where he was spending the New Year in the morning, but it was all delayed by the two of you."
Li Zhaokun waved his hand and said, "Bring him over. Bring him over to stay for a few days. How much can an old man eat?"
He then turned to Li He and the others and said, "Clean up the room at the back tomorrow. Your grandpa will stay there when he comes."
Wang Yulan's tears turned into a smile.
"Okay." Li He finally saw Li Zhaokun in a different light!
