"Will you listen to me?
??
No one will like you if you continue to make a scene! " Li He continued to comfort Five. "Go to sleep. Call Mother tomorrow and ask if she will let you go back."
"Send me home!" Five pounced on Li He, her hands waving wildly.
"Ouch!" Li He screamed. His face was burning with pain. He didn't need to look to know that his face must have been scratched. He looked at the mirror on the dressing table. Sure enough, there was a long line of blood on his face.
He picked up Five's fingernails and looked at them. The nails were full of blood.
Although he didn't care about his face being ugly, he was disfigured. If he went out, it would be really ugly! And it would make people who didn't know have bad associations! The two of them were fighting so fiercely! His face was already disfigured!
Five still didn't realize it. "Send me home! I want to go home! "
"Are you done yet?! I'm telling you, if you continue to make a scene, I'll beat you up today! "Li He had already raised his hand and was about to slap her face.
"I just want to go home!" She still stiffened her neck and repeated this sentence over and over.
"If you had worked harder, I wouldn't be in such a difficult position! I owe you, right?! " Li He was really angry and embarrassed this time. He thought about how he had worried so much for her in his previous life and how tired he was. He had never been treated well!
Because of that slap, the brother and sister had not spoken a word for five or six years.
She even swore, "I don't have a brother like you!"
"Second Brother Li, I will not coexist with you for the rest of my life!"
"Second Brother Li, even if you die, I won't shed a single tear!"
Indeed, the two of them didn't speak again.
Li He couldn't make up even if he wanted to. Later on, when she started her business, it was full of difficulties. She had to run all over the place to avoid debts. Li He couldn't just let it go. After all, an elder brother was like a father. He still helped her when he should.
He had been a stubborn donkey all his life. Perhaps he was pretending to be virtuous, but he hated people who relied on connections to do favors. He didn't have the face to owe favors, but for this youngest sister, he still shamelessly used his connections to settle things for her.
Otherwise, with her little ability, how could she have a foothold in society!
Perhaps in the most difficult times, she found out who treated her the best and who she could rely on. Her relationship with Li He improved a lot.
However, her temper was too good at offending people. Li He had helped her clean up her mess many times. She was not at ease at all. Compared to Four, she was not even by a little.
Now that Li He suddenly recalled the past, it was still a little unbearable. It could be said that it was a new and old hatred from two lifetimes!
Therefore, Li He wanted to teach her well. At the very least, he couldn't let her join the underworld with such a low education level.
Sometimes, it wasn't that he didn't have any expectations. Perhaps if he read more books, he would be able to understand more.
"I want to go home." Five cried even louder. Li He did not bluff her at all.
"How about tomorrow? It's so late now. How can I go back? Let's go tomorrow." Li He slumped on the chair and lit a cigarette. He really didn't want to say anything more.
He lit up a few cigarettes in a row, one after another, and watched her cry.
At some point, her cries turned into sobs, and she fell asleep sitting there.
Li He adjusted the pillow for her and covered her with the blanket again.
He walked out of the house and closed the door again.
The next morning, as soon as he opened his eyes, he was shocked. He didn't know when Five was lying on his bed.
"Go back to sleep. Why did you wake up so early?"
Five glanced at the Blood-scarred Centipede on Li He's face and thought for a long time before saying, "Ah is hungry."
"Then I'll get up right away." Li He had no choice but to put on his clothes and get out of bed.
He was brushing his teeth. Five said, "I don't have a toothbrush."
"You won't die if you don't have one. You can buy one after breakfast, "he said as he brushed his teeth.
"I just want to brush my teeth."
"Okay, I'll buy one later."
He had no choice but to go to Old Man Zhang's shop to buy a toothbrush. Just as he bought a toothbrush, Five had something to do again.
"You don't have a towel either."
"Use mine."
"Your towel is too dirty."
Li He almost choked to death. He said helplessly, "Use your Fourth Sister's."
"No need." Five shook his head firmly.
"Then I'll go buy it again." He had just taken two steps when he turned back and said, "Think carefully about what you're missing. Otherwise, you'll tell me what you're missing after I buy it."
"Snow cream."
"Okay." He didn't know why there was such a name in his hometown. In fact, it was just snow cream to wipe one's face. He was also glad that he asked. Otherwise, he would have to make a trip back.
After buying the things, he helped her brush her teeth and wash her face. He even took her to have breakfast. Perhaps she didn't eat much yesterday, but she forced herself to eat two big steamed buns and drank a big bowl of porridge.
After coming out of the breakfast shop, Li He asked her, "Are you full?"
"I want to go home."
"My ancestors!" Li He covered his forehead. He had a headache. He was secretly happy. He thought that if he didn't mention it after waking up, she wouldn't mention it later. He didn't expect that she would still be thinking about it after a night. "Let's go. Call Ah Niang. If she asks you to go back, I'll send you back."
Before she reached Old Man Zhang's phone booth, she dialed the village's number.
"Ah Niang, Ah Niang." She started shouting before she could hear the voice on the phone clearly.
Li He snatched her phone and said a few words to Liu Chuanqi.
Liu Chuanqi's loudspeaker was on again. "Wang Yulan, Wang Yulan, hurry up and pick up the phone."
Wang Yulan came very quickly. When she heard her daughter's voice, she panicked. "Why are you crying? Your brother is beating you up. I'll beat him up later."
Her daughter had only left for two days, but she felt as if she had been gone for many years. It was as if something was missing. She couldn't get it out of her chest.
"Ah Niang, I want to go back. Brother won't send me back." She complained miserably over the phone.
Li He leaned against the phone booth and smoked, letting the two of them nag.
"Why did you come back after you went? Study well. Take the money for the bus fare and throw it away. Your brother and sister are there. Why are you crying?" Wang Yulan didn't know where Hong Kong was. She couldn't even tell which direction was north or south. She only knew that it wasn't near and the fare was not cheap.
"I don't want to study anymore."
"What are you going to do if you don't study? I'm hanging up. I'll come back with your brother during the New Year. I'm going to see Li Pei. The two kids are fighting again. "Wang Yulan turned around and saw Li Ke pushing Li Pei to the ground. She hurriedly wanted to hang up.
"Ah Niang, Ah Niang." She also heard Li Pei's crying on the other end of the phone. However, there was a busy tone after that.
Li He smiled and asked, "How is it? Ah Niang won't let you go back, right? Let's go home. "
