Four waited for a while, but she couldn't see Li He anywhere. She rested her chin on her hand and stared blankly.
Suddenly, a person fell in front of her. She was shocked and hurriedly stood up. She saw that Li He was also standing in front of her.
"Didn't I tell you to look after the bag?" Li He questioned Lao Si as soon as he arrived.
Four saw that the blue bag behind her was gone and panicked. Suddenly, she saw that the bag was in the hands of the person lying on the ground. "Why, why is it in his hands?"
"His hands are quite long." Li He saw that the person lying on the ground was about to get up, so he stepped forward and kicked him on the back. He then picked up the bag, dusted it off, and threw it to Four. "Take it."
The person on the ground was in his thirties and had a thin face. He didn't give up and forced himself to stand up. He stared at Li He with wide eyes. "Brothers, I have a friend here. Give me the bag and we'll call it quits."
The thief still didn't give up on the bag in Four's hands. With his many years of experience, he could tell that it was a thick stack of cash.
In the past two years, there had been more and more rich people, and the business of stealing had become more and more popular. The thief wasn't strictly controlled, so he was fearless and very arrogant.
Li He picked up the bag and beckoned at him. "You want the bag, right? Come here, I'll give it to you."
The thief grinned. He really went over. This was a time-tested trick. As long as he could suppress the other party with his aura, there would be a few who would listen to him.
There were people watching from the side who were enjoying the show. They had the attitude that it was better to avoid trouble. They didn't think of being a good Samaritan, nor did they think of calling the police.
The girl who had driven the taxi just now was also at the side. She scolded in disdain, "Weakling, do you think you're so capable?"
The thief approached and wanted to praise Li He for being tactful. However, he was slapped to the ground by Li He, causing him to whimper in pain.
"You're so ugly, but you're dreaming."
The people around them all laughed.
"Let's go," Li He took his luggage and told Four to leave. He had fifty or sixty thousand yuan in cash in his bag. If the police came and saw it, he wouldn't be able to explain himself. It was simply asking for trouble.
Only after the person involved left did the incident come to an end.
The two of them got on the bus back to the county. When they got off the bus, they were so hungry that their stomachs were spinning.
At the entrance of the train station, they each bought two roasted sweet potatoes and munched on them as they walked.
As usual, he went to Li Long's waste station first.
"Third Brother, Third Brother!" Four shouted at the top of his lungs as soon as he reached the intersection. He hadn't been home since the start of school, so he couldn't help but miss his home. He couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
The one who came out to greet them was Duan Mei. She was carrying a chicken feeding bowl and said in surprise, "Why are you two back today? I was just talking about you this morning."
He looked at his sister-in-law up and down. She was dressed more like a city girl than a city girl, but he couldn't tell what exactly had changed.
There were two small tile-roofed houses on the waste collection site, as well as a row of chicken cages and pig pens. There were many chickens running around outside, and there was a dog baring its teeth at the doorstep.
Li He smiled and said, "You guys are taking care of this place?"
"Yes, I am. It's not a problem to run back and forth every day." The house was a bit messy, so Duan Mei didn't invite them into the house. She moved a small stool to the door and poured two glasses of water on the chair. Then she asked, "Have you had lunch? If you haven't, I'll make some pots and pans. There's food too. "
"No, we'll go home for dinner later." Li He ate some sweet potatoes and was already hungry. "Where are Third Brother and the others?"
"They'll be back soon. They went to fix Liu Four's roof."
"Are you guys really not going to work together anymore?" They were going to work separately. Li He had heard about it from Li Long in the telegram, so he just wanted to confirm it.
"It's not a good thing to be together after we split up. You said that they were all doing it together. Da Zhuang's wife and I were so busy that we didn't even have time to rest. Lao Si treasured his wife and didn't let anyone touch her. It was as if he was really worshiping her. He didn't even get a penny less, "Duan Mei said. It seemed like she was angry.
Four said, "Sister-in-law, you and Zhuang Zi's wife don't have to be busy. It's not like the three of them are too busy."
"How can we not be busy? How can we rely on the three of them? They're so busy that they don't even have time to eat. I'm worried about your brother. Otherwise, I'd be the one suffering. Look, Four's wife isn't pampered anymore. She's even busier than us. Now that she's pregnant, she doesn't even have time to rest. She's focused on making money. " "Look at her, look at her. It's good that we split up. Zhuang Zi's wife and I are even more efficient. "
Li He already had a plan in mind, and it was in line with his expectations. He also wished that they split up. A business partnership between relatives and friends might not be a good business. There were no rules and regulations, and there was bound to be someone who would bite the bullet.
His original goal was to train Third Brother. Since he had achieved his goal, he didn't really care about the outcome of the business. The most important factor in doing business was efficiency. The problem was that the people who partnered with others to do business were people who didn't understand business.
People who understood business would never partner up with others, because they understood the dangers of partnering up when starting a business. Three monks have no water to eat, this was the most obvious truth.
"Four's wife is pregnant?"
"She's been pregnant for more than three months." Duan Mei saw that her eldest uncle's focus wasn't on the same line as hers, so she felt a little bored.
No one could be blamed for disbanding. Not to mention the problem of the three men, just the three women's pillow talk beside their respective men, adding fuel to the fire. They were afraid that the world would be in chaos, and they were afraid that their own family would be at a disadvantage.
Four was very honest about this matter. Da Zhuang was the one who suggested the disbanding, Four agreed, and Li Long also agreed. In the end, when they split up, Liu Four only took back the capital and dividends. The rest of the place and tractor were given to Da Zhuang and Li Long.
Li He couldn't find fault with Liu Four, and he couldn't say anything. Liu Four was very benevolent.
Da Zhuang and Li Long came back. Li Long was driving the hand-guided tractor, and Da Zhuang was sitting next to the tractor. He saw Li He from a distance, and he laughed loudly.
When Li He saw the two of them, he smiled with relief. They had both become stronger and darker. Working in the fields all year round had turned them into farmers, but they also had the craftiness of businessmen.
Li He drove the tractor back home. Da Zhuang took the initiative to stay, and Li Long and his wife followed him back.
Two days after returning home, Wang Yulan nagged about Li He's marriage again. "It can't be that the girls in the city won't like you, right?"
For the first time, Wang Yulan doubted her son's excellence. He was already so old, but he still hadn't found a wife in the city!
She vaguely heard people say that the girls in the city were arrogant, and their eyes were on top of their heads. They didn't look at those who were from the countryside.
"I'm not old yet, what's the rush?" Li He had no choice but to deal with it.
"You're not old yet, you're already 26! Li He is the same age as you, and his child is already in the third grade. "Wang Yulan didn't think about Li He's marriage, but the moment she thought about it, she felt prickles all over her body." Since the girls in the city won't like you, let's find one from home. As long as they can live, it's fine. "
Seeing her son's attitude, she was even more certain that her son must have been bullied by the girls in the city. He was just too embarrassed to tell her. Otherwise, why wouldn't he want to find someone to warm his bed when he was at his peak? He even said that he wasn't in a hurry.
"I'll definitely find you a wife. Don't worry, okay?"
"You said the same thing last year, and the year before that. Let's find someone at home who can read and talk to you. "
"I promise. Next year, next year, I'll bring her back for you."
"How long are you going to fool me?" Wang Yulan raised her voice as she spoke, "Say, why is it so difficult for me to hold a grandson? I was thinking how good it would be for you to work for the government, but in the end, you're still a widow at this age."
She probably hated the girls in the city. My son is so good, but you guys look down on him and make him a bachelor. What a great injustice.
