In the morning, although Li He wasn't sleepy, he didn't want to get up. After all, there was no heater and it was cold outside. It took a lot of courage to even lift his blanket, much less get up and get dressed!
"Girl, stuff it into your dad's neck." He Fang couldn't stand Li He's laziness.
"Be good and go out to play." Seeing the snow ball in Li Yi's arms, Li He shuddered. "Hurry."
"You're worse than a child." He Fang pinched a little from her daughter's hand and stuffed it into Li He's blanket.
"Wow, woman, you're asking for it!" Before the snow ball could even touch him, Li He was so scared that he immediately jumped off the bed and quickly put on his clothes.
If not for the fear of gas poisoning, he would have set up a dozen stoves in the house.
He Fang said angrily, "Don't you know that the family likes visitors? You're still lying in bed. Look at how you look."
Li He compromised, "Fine, you're right, your boss. Isn't he up now?"
That was the truth. Whenever he came back, there would be more visitors.
He glanced at Wang Yulan in the kitchen, then brushed his teeth and asked Li Zhaokun, who was making a bamboo basket at the door, "Why did Third Brother quarrel with Chao An and the others?"
He had to ask Li Zhaokun about this. It wasn't appropriate to ask Wang Yulan, although the Wangs didn't care much about her. After all, they were her parents' family.
Li Zhaokun said, "Your mother doesn't allow it. Otherwise, she would have told you long ago."
However, he had a nonchalant attitude.
"How did they quarrel?"
Li He's curiosity was piqued.
"Third Brother has been earning well these two years. Chao An, Chao Jun, and the others kissed him more. He didn't mistreat them and brought them out to eat and drink. He gave them as much as they wanted to borrow. " Li Zhaokun put down the bamboo knife in his hand and lit his cigarette. "Later, they wanted to do business and borrowed a lot of money from Third Brother."
Li He said with a smile, "We're all relatives. It's only right for us to help each other when we're in trouble. Why are you so angry?"
"Easy for you to say. What did he mean by borrowing? Only when there was a return would it be considered borrowing. When you left it at home in the past, your mother secretly lent out a lot of it! I've seen it twice already. Do you think I'm blind? This woman is a traitor! You shouldn't have let her manage the money! "
Li Zhaokun got angry when he saw his son and daughter-in-law being so generous! Even if he were to ask his son and wife for money, he wouldn't do it so casually! Every time he asked for money, it was like chasing a dog away!
"We're all relatives. What's the point of saying that?" Li He didn't want his father to say that about his mother. He thought to himself, What kind of good person are you?
But according to his understanding of his mother, she might have really done it. His mother was a person who valued relationships. Even a straw from her family was good.
"That's really a good relative. Today, I'll borrow 30 yuan from your mother. Tomorrow, I'll borrow 50 yuan. At the beginning, it's still a small amount. I don't really care. I don't lack this bit of money." Li Zhaokun's words were very magnanimous. He wasn't someone who lacked money. But then he snorted coldly and said, "After that, it was always three hundred and five hundred. Only someone with your mother's temper could be fooled like this. She gave as much as she wanted without saying a word."
"Their situation isn't good. You don't have to care so much." Li He said honestly. He didn't really care.
"After we left home, we borrowed from Third Brother. It's our old habit. We'll start with 30 yuan and 50 yuan. After that, we'll start a business. But before the business starts, we'll borrow 100 thousand yuan. 100 thousand yuan! They can't even return the money even if they farm for the rest of their lives. Moreover, they never thought of returning the money. In the end, Wang Ba opened his mouth and asked for 50 thousand yuan each. Third Brother, that idiot, actually wanted to give it to them. If it wasn't for Mei Zi's stubbornness, this money would be like throwing a meat bun at a dog. It would be gone forever. " The more Li Zhaokun thought about it, the angrier he got. He didn't even have the mood to make the basket anymore. He just threw it behind the door and said, "I quit."
"That much?" Li He felt that it was a little too much.
"What do you think?" Li Zhaokun said angrily, "If not, how did Wang Chaojun and Wang Chaoan's big tile-roofed houses come out? They're all pretentious! And they even bought motorcycles? Pfft! "
Li He asked, "Then Third Brother and his wife didn't lend them to him, so they became enemies?"
Yesterday, he was still wondering why his cousins were doing so well all of a sudden. They built houses and bought motorcycles. It turned out that it was his family's money. "That's right.
They even talk bad about our family to everyone they meet. They're all heartless dogs. Only your mother treats it like a treasure. A few days ago, she even called them to beat the pig to death. Luckily they didn't come. Otherwise, I would have beaten them to death. "
Li He thought for a moment and said, "Alright, let's just do it this way. We don't lack the money anyway. We just have to care about Ah Niang's reputation."
It's hard to buy my happiness with money. It's worth it.
Wang Yulan saw the father and son chatting furtively and couldn't help but look over. They had been chatting for more than 10 minutes! She knew the father and son too well. It was a miracle that they could talk for more than 3 minutes!
There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary!
Seeing his mother walking over, Li He quickly shut up and went to wash his face.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Long and his wife also came back.
"Let's just let this matter go. Don't be calculative. Think about me more." Li He pulled Li Long to the side and the two brothers discussed.
"I know. I didn't argue with them. It's just that Mei couldn't stand it and quarreled with them." Li Long also had an indifferent attitude.
Li He nodded, "That's good. If there's an emergency, we can help. Who doesn't have a lot of difficulties? But if there's nothing important, we don't have to borrow money anymore."
Li Long agreed. The two brothers reached an agreement.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, He Fang gave Li Ke and Li Pei 100 yuan each as lucky money. Duan Mei also gave Li Lan and his sister 100 yuan each.
Li He smiled and said, "After giving for so many years, I finally see the hope of recouping my losses."
"Uncle, you didn't give me any last year!" Li Ke's memory was not bad at all. He didn't forget to remind Li He.
"The money given by your auntie isn't money!" Li He laughed at her for being so mischievous. Whether it was when she was young or now, she was much more mischievous than Li Pei and Li Lan.
The two of them bickered here and there.
"What did she say?" Duan Mei didn't understand. Li Ke had been back for so long and she had already tried to correct her daughter's accent. But she couldn't. It was either English or Huadu dialect. She was confused!
Even when I brought her out, others would laugh at me for not being able to understand my daughter's words, and they would treat it as a strange sight.
"She said you didn't give her any lucky money last year." Wang Yulan was slightly better than Duan Mei. She had stayed in Hong Kong for a long time. She could not only understand but also speak a few words.
Suddenly, Li Yi screamed at the side. She was not happy that He Fang took her money.
"She's so young, but she's also a miser."
Li He didn't know what to do with his daughter.
