Li Long said, "It won't take much effort to pick you up. Even if I don't have time, I can get someone to go."
In Li Yi's generation, the two brothers had two daughters, while Big Sis and Five each had a daughter. They were like four golden flowers that were raised in the palm of their hands.
The boys were thick-skinned, so it was fine if they hit them. As for the girls, they couldn't even bear to be fierce to them.
Wu You said, "Uncle, I'll get you a bowl. Do you want to drink some more?"
Li Long waved his hand and said, "Why would I drink with you? You're almost done drinking. Hurry up and pack up. Don't drink anymore."
It would be embarrassing if they lost, but it wouldn't show how capable they were if they won.
Pan Ying said, "We finished a long time ago. We're just chatting."
Li Long looked at Li Yi, who smiled and said, "I'll go home then."
The uncle and nephew went home one after another.
At the entrance of the house, a middle-aged man was standing at the door smoking. Beside him was a motorcycle. When he saw Li Long coming over, his depressed face finally relaxed. He quickly handed him a cigarette and said with a smile, "When did you come back?"
Li Long looked into the yard and didn't see his mother. He smiled and asked, "I came back yesterday afternoon. Did you bring a teacup? I'll get you a cup of water."
The middle-aged man was called Wu Qiang. He sold electrical appliances in town, mainly refrigerators, color televisions, solar energy, and the like. He was one of the wealthiest people in town.
He smiled and said, "No need, no need. I just finished drinking at Shangba and came over."
Li Long said in a low voice, "Does my old lady need your money?"
His old lady had a problem. She never gave cash when she bought big things. She wasn't the only one. Many people had this habit. Even if they had money, they wouldn't give it and would insist on buying on credit for a period of time.
This was very different from his father. His father was very prideful. If he had money in his pocket, he would want the whole world to know that it was impossible to buy on credit.
Wu Qiang said, "Your TV was newly replaced last year. I brought it over."
Li Long smiled and said, "I've told you before that if you need anything, you can come to me. You know my old lady's personality. I don't have any cash right now. Come to my house with me and I'll get it for you."
"As long as the person is alive, the account won't rot." Wang Yulan stood at the door of the central room and shouted, "As if I need your money."
Li Long gave Wu Qiang a look, and Wu Qiang hurriedly pushed the motorcycle behind him.
The two of them had only taken a few steps when Li Yi caught up to them. She took out a stack of money from her pocket and handed it to the uncle. "I have cash here. You don't have to go back to get it."
Li Long took the money and asked Wu Qiang, "How much?"
Wu Qiang smiled and said, "Four thousand seven hundred. Give me four thousand five hundred."
Li Long counted the money and shoved it to him. He smiled and said, "I'll give you five thousand. I'm already embarrassed for dragging it out for so long. There's no reason for you to lose money again.
In the future, if my old lady needs anything, feel free to give it to her. Don't lower yourself to her level. Come back to me and I'll pay you. "
Wu Qiang said, "Then I'll thicken my skin and take it. I'll feel even more embarrassed."
Li Long said, "I'll be eternally grateful if you can tolerate my old lady a little. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We've known each other for a day or two. You know my personality. If you need anything in the future, you must come to me. Otherwise, if my old lady doesn't tell us, we won't know anything."
Wu Qiang said, "Don't worry then."
After chatting with him for a while, he rode the motorcycle to the next house to collect the money.
Li Long said to Li Yi, "I'll give it to you later."
Li Yi said, "No need. I have money on me."
Moreover, what she had was money.
Li Long nodded and did not insist.
Wang Yulan was still angry. She said to her son, "After giving him the money, he doesn't care anymore. Who am I going to look for if the TV breaks?"
Li Long smiled and said, "If you look for him, he can't just ignore it."
Those who did business in town might dare to play tricks with others, but no one dared to do that to him. That was simply asking for trouble.
Wang Yulan said, "Easy for you to say."
Li Yi said, "Don't worry. If it really breaks, I'll buy you a new one."
Wang Yulan said, "It's easy for your father to earn money. He doesn't treat money as money."
Li Yi touched her nose awkwardly, unable to refute.
Li Long said, "It's not easy for me to earn money either. Can I buy you a new one?"
Wang Yulan pouted and said, "You make it sound so nice."
She scooped a bowl of porridge and picked up some pickled vegetables. She stood at the door and ate her food.
Li Long walked around the house and casually patted the bed. There was a layer of dust. He covered his nose and said to Li Yi, "Throw it all away. I'll send you two new blankets later. Don't be calculative with your grandmother."
He pointed to his head and said, "It's not working here."
Li Yi said, "It's fine. They're all new anyway. I just need to pat the dust off. Uncle, go back and rest."
Just as she said that, voices came from the yard.
Li Long said, "Your aunt is here."
Just as he said that, Li Mei walked into the house. She glanced at the bed and said angrily, "You're getting more and more muddle-headed."
"Who's old and muddle-headed?" Wang Yulan didn't turn her back to him, so she heard him clearly.
Li Mei said loudly, "When your granddaughter comes back, you don't even know how to dry your blanket. How are you going to sleep when it's so damp?"
After her father left, she had already understood the old lady's temper. She couldn't give in or she wouldn't be able to suppress it. Only then would the old lady be able to act.
Wang Yulan muttered, "There's a bag in the cupboard. It's clean. You're the only troublemakers."
Li Mei said, "Sleep at my place tonight. Seeing how sloppy your grandmother is now, she purposely didn't let you come back. Don't cherish her."
"Says who? Don't cause trouble inside. "Wang Yulan carried her bag and was about to walk out.
Li Yi hurriedly pulled her back. "Where are you going?"
Wang Yulan said, "If you don't like it, go and buy a new one."
"I don't dislike it. It's pretty good." Li Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Li Long gestured for his sister to stop talking. "I'll go home and carry it."
"No need. I have it in the car." Li Mei went to the door and opened it. Li Long carried it out.
Li Yi stuffed the old cup on the bed into the cupboard and rearranged the bed with her aunt's help.
Li Mei said, "You reek of alcohol. Who did you drink with last night?"
Li Yi said, "Wu You and Pan Ying."
"Don't drink so stupidly next time." Li Mei brewed a cup of tea for Li Yi and placed it on the table. "Drink some tea. It's good for the hangover."
Li Yi smiled and said, "It's okay. I didn't drink much. Aunt, why don't you go back first? It's going to be dark soon."
Li Mei said, "I have nothing to do at home anyway. I won't be going back. I'll sleep with your grandmother later. This old lady needs to teach her a lesson or she won't be alert at all."
She went to the toilet and said to Li Long, "Find a light bulb and change the light in the toilet. I don't know why this old lady gets up at night every day."
Li Long went to the toilet to check. When he came back, he said, "I didn't notice."
He took a light bulb from the drawer in the living room and went to the toilet to change it.
