It was a simple matter.
The girl asked in disbelief, "Is there really a scholarship or something?"
Fatty Chen chuckled and said, "Don't you know what kind of person your Uncle Li is?"
Liu Yaping nodded and said, "I know."
Li He was a legend in Li Village. Ever since she was a child, she had heard so much about him that calluses almost formed in her ears. The most incredible rumor was that every time Li He returned to his hometown, leaders of the provincial party committee would come to visit him.
On the alumni list of the county's No.1 Middle School, Li He's name always occupied the first place.
Therefore, Li He's name was like a thunderclap to her ears.
Out of curiosity, she had looked at him from afar a few times, but she had never dared to approach him. Today was the only time she had come into close contact with him.
Fatty Chen said, "That's it. Trust your Uncle Li. He said that you have a scholarship. You definitely have a scholarship. Study hard and work hard to get into a university."
Liu Yaping hesitated and said, "What if my parents don't believe me?"
Fatty Chen said, "Then let them come to me. I can guarantee it, okay? You can ask your dad if my words are that hard to follow. "
Liu Yaping lowered her head. It wasn't good for her to express her opinion when others ridiculed her father, even if her father didn't treat her well.
Li He said, "Alright, go back. Go back and tell your dad that if you really get into a university, you must invite us to your wedding. We'll definitely go."
Liu Yaping smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Li."
Li He looked at her gradually disappearing figure and sighed, "What era are we in? They still value boys over girls. Those who don't know better would think that there's an heir in the family."
Chen Yongqiang said, "Sigh, these people have sh * t in their brains. My biggest regret in life is that I don't have a daughter. My family has a few tricks up their sleeves, but none of them are considerate. I'm easily angered to death by them."
Li He asked, "Your child still hasn't returned to China?"
Chen Yongqiang shook his head. "What a prodigal son of a b * tch. He's taking my money and having fun outside, yet he's still talking nonsense with me. I just can't bring myself to do it. Otherwise, he would have run out of ammunition and food long ago."
He had two sons. When it came to his son's education, he didn't ask for Li He's opinion or learn from Li He. Instead, after careful consideration, he sent his eldest son to the United States when he was in junior high.
As for his second son, it was the same.
The two children in front of him had already graduated and were working in the United States. None of them were willing to return to China.
A few years ago, his eldest brother, Chen Qixun, got a green card from the United States, which made him furious.
On the issue of identity, he completely trusted Li He's judgment. If a China enterprise wanted to become a national enterprise, whether it was the founder or the successor, his identity was very important.
In his heart, he actually did not want his eldest son to be eliminated. His eldest son was willing to study, willing to work hard, thoughtful, and cultured. He was very proud of him.
Every time he came back, he didn't like anything he saw and would always criticize it. However, his son was careful with his words, and his son expressed disdain towards him.
In some aspects, he acknowledged his eldest son's pursuit and ideals. However, reality was reality. If one's butt was crooked, everything he did was wrong.
As for his youngest son, Chen Qiyao, he was childish and noisy. Fortunately, he was kind and did not have any ulterior motives. Compared to his eldest son, he was far from being suitable to manage the family business.
However, he only had two children. If he didn't let his eldest son manage it, then it could only be his youngest son.
Li He said, "Take it slowly. It's not like you can't do anything now. After two years, the child's thinking will change. It's too early to make any judgments now."
He didn't want to get involved in the Chen family's matters. It was best for them to go their separate ways.
Fatty Chen asked, "You can't just stay at home like this. You have to come up with some ideas. Otherwise, when the time comes, He Fang will be unhappy again."
Li He said, "What can I do in her situation now? Come with me. She won't be willing no matter what. If I go alone, I won't feel at ease. Just relying on Li Long and his wife won't work either."
Fatty Chen said, "Why don't I help you find a nanny to cook three meals for Old Madam and wash her clothes?"
Li He shook his head and said, "It's not like you didn't see how she has become. She has such an attitude in our family, let alone outsiders. I don't think there are many people who can stand it."
Fatty Chen said, "If there's a big reward, there will be a brave woman. I don't believe that there will be people who can't live with money. If you trust me, I'll help you find someone. It'll be very easy."
Li He waved his hand and said, "You, stop fooling around. Even if she can stand it, I'm afraid I can't. If Old Madam doesn't agree, she'll cry, throw a tantrum, and threaten to hang herself. What can I do? Kick her out when that happens?"
Many times, he had considered these plans but none of them were practical.
Wang Yulan's attitude towards her son was already like this, let alone an outsider.
He sighed and walked back to the village with Fatty Chen.
On the way, they heard the sound of firecrackers.
Liu Dazhuang's father was at the door of his house, looking in the direction of the firecrackers.
Li He walked over and asked, "Uncle, what happened to that family?"
Liu Dazhuang's father pursed his lips and said, "Other than the He family, there's no other family living there. I think it's because He Laoxi is gone."
It was inevitable that the fox mourned the death of the hare.
Li He said, "That can't be. Chu Yang sent him back in the afternoon."
Liu Dazhuang's father said, "He went to Provincial City to see a doctor. The doctor wanted him to stay in the hospital but he didn't want to, so he sent him back in the afternoon. Then, I saw Zhao Di in town in the afternoon. She was buying shrouds. This means that she prepared in advance.
At this time, who else could it be other than his family? "
Before he finished speaking, another string of firecrackers went off.
Li He looked in the direction of the smoke and was even more certain that it was Zhao Di's house.
Chen Yongqiang's phone rang. It was Li He. After he hung up, he said to Li He, "It's Zhao Di's house. She just called him and asked him to help. I have to go and take a look."
Li He said, "You guys go first. I'll go home to see Old Madam first before going over."
When he got home, Wang Yulan was sitting at the door, waving a cattail leaf fan. When she saw Li He come back, she said, "Who's the firecrackers?"
Li He said, "He Laoxi is gone."
Wang Yulan grunted and did not say anything else.
Li He said, "I'll go and take a look. You go to sleep. Just leave the door open for me."
Actually, he was not confident that Wang Yulan would leave the door open for him.
There was a lot of cash hidden in the house. Wang Yulan was very careful. Even if she went to the Pan family's house, she would lock the door.
It was impossible for her to leave the door open for Li He now.
Seeing that he did not respond, Li He went into the house to change into a pair of shoes and went to He Zhaodi's house.
The He family's house was full of people. Only Zhao Chunfang was sitting motionlessly on a small stool at the back wall, munching on melon seeds, as if the dead man had nothing to do with her.
Brother Pan could not stand it anymore. At least shout a few times?
She had to do something for outsiders to see, right?
While no one was paying attention, she ran outside and poked Zhao Chunfang.
Zhao Chunfang ignored her and munched on her melon seeds. Her mouth and hands did not stop moving.
Brother Pan said, "Mom, you can't be so cruel. You've been fussing over him all your life. Now that he's gone, why are you still like this?"
Her heart ached uncomfortably.
Her father was gone, but her mother was still like this.
Zhao Chunfang stiffened her neck and said, "What should I do? Scram."
Brother Pan wanted to say something but was stopped by He Weibao's wife.
Brother Pan was pulled to the side by He Weibao's wife. Tears streamed down his face as he sobbed, "Why is she like this? Second Aunt, tell me, how cruel she is. "
Old Mrs. Han said, "Don't you know what kind of person she is? She's stubborn. She's the one who feels the worst here. Just wait and see. She probably won't be able to get through this. "
The two of them were sisters-in-law and had fought each other all their lives. Enemies usually understood each other the best.
She knew Zhao Chunfang's temperament too well.
He Laoxi was gone. Zhao Chunfang did not look moved on the surface, but her heart had probably turned cold.
She had also lost her husband in her old age. She could understand how it felt to suddenly lose a partner.
The man she was familiar with was gone. She was all alone and usually woke up in the middle of the night with a wet pillow.
