Chapter 96: , The Rich Don't Dislike the Poor, Becoming a Superior Person (Please subscribe!)

It was noisy downstairs, and before Li Heng could put on his clothes and get out of bed, Li Jianguo and Tian Rune returned from town.

They didn't come back empty-handed.

They bought meat, bought wonton wrappers, bought noodles, bought a fish, bought wine and sugar, and some miscellaneous daily necessities.

Well, Li Jianguo also carried a bag of traditional medicine in his left hand.

What kind of scene had the old Li family been in these years? How much family background did they have? The villagers knew it in their hearts. Seeing the couple bringing so many things home, they immediately understood.

They understood that what Li Yan said was absolutely true.

Li Heng really became a great writer, really earned a huge sum of 3,800 yuan with one book!

Otherwise, how could Tian Rune, who usually relied on selling rice to maintain the family's livelihood, be so willing to spend?

Wasn't that a proper prodigal?

However, knowing it in their hearts was one thing, but someone still asked out loud for the first time:

"Aunt Tian, did Li Heng really become a great writer?"

Tian Rune smiled gently and replied: "What kind of great writer, he just wrote a book at will and earned a little pocket money."

Listen, he wrote a book at will and earned 3,800 yuan!

3,800 yuan!

Guessing was one thing, hearing it with one's own ears was another.

In an instant, the crowd fell into a dead silence, obviously shocked by the news.

But the dead silence didn't last long, and the subsequent noise was even more intense and explosive than before.

Tian Rune took out 3 catties of paper-wrapped sugar from a urea bag, put it on a stone, opened it, and while happily answering everyone's questions, greeted everyone to eat wedding candy.

Wedding candy!

The Li family even distributed wedding candy, representing that the matter was settled.

Those few people with dark hearts were so jealous that they were angry, so jealous that they were crazy, but they had no way at all. In the end, they could only bite the paper-wrapped sugar in their mouths until it was crunchy, hum! It wasn't very sweet either.

But most people still carried some goodwill. For a time, the door of the old Li family was full of people, lively and extraordinary, and the glory of the period when Li Jianguo was a leader in the Education Bureau was restored.

At noon, the villagers gradually dispersed, leaving only a few idle people who had nothing to do, still pulling Li Jianguo and Li Heng to ask questions.

"Li Heng, Master Heng!"

Just as Li Heng was dealing with the neighbors tirelessly, a voice came from the other side of the road, and Zhang Zhiyong was shouting loudly.

Li Heng stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Come help me with something."

"Oh, okay, coming!"

Finally liberated, Li Heng happily ran towards Que Xinyan.

"Screw your grandpa! You are really decent today, I guess I'll have to wait until the day I die to have this kind of scene." Zhang Zhiyong, who said this, was full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Li Heng smiled, revealing his good-looking teeth: "Don't worry, I'll help you hold a grander one on the day you die."

"Grass! Are you a beast, really hoping I die?" Zhang Zhiyong's eyeballs were almost popping out, full of fire.

Li Heng reached out and touched his dog head: "People always have to die, if not today, then tomorrow, what are you afraid of."

"Damn, don't touch me, I'm annoyed with you now. My pimping dad has been catching me and asking about you today. I'm damn dry-mouthed, and in the end, the dead old man came to a conclusion: If you have a son, you should have Li Heng..." Zhang Zhiyong was very depressed, complaining about his father endlessly.

Li Heng was very happy to hear it, "Not bad, your dad's cultural level has improved."

"Bah! What cultural level has improved? If you say his means of playing with women have improved, I'll believe it." Zhang Zhiyong said this, his teeth itching with anger.

Li Heng asked: "What happened again?"

Zhang Zhiyong scanned left and right, and said angrily: "Last night, he first slept with my mom, I heard them both have that sound.

Unexpectedly, in the second half of the night, he ran to the widow's bed next door. Tell me! Tell me! Isn't my dad a cheap goods."

Li Heng was curious, "Did your mom catch him on the spot?"

Zhang Zhiyong hammered his hands in hatred, "My mom is useless, doesn't have a long memory, slept like a pig. I followed him secretly."

Li Heng was surprised, "I didn't hear you arguing over there last night, how did you handle it?"

Zhang Zhiyong took out a roll of money from his pocket, all big tens, "That cheap goods threw a stack of tickets at me, saying let me not speak out."

Li Heng asked: "Did you agree?"

Zhang Zhiyong cursed, gesturing with his hands and feet, "I agreed to a fart! Damn it! I rushed in and grabbed the widow's head and slammed it against the wall, slamming it 20 times, and there was blood on the forehead and wall.

If the dead old man hadn't desperately pulled me, I would have twisted her head off and used it as a urinal, bah! I also slapped her 8 times.

I wanted to slap 365 times, red every day, but she fainted after the 8th slap. Damn it, she's too fragile, I haven't had enough fun yet."

Li Heng gave a thumbs up, "Then how did you deal with your dad?"

Zhang Zhiyong took out 4 more rolls of money from his pocket, "Hehe... a total of 500 in pimping money."

Adhering to the responsible attitude towards gossip, Li Heng even specifically took a detour past the widow's door.

Sure enough, he saw the widow with gauze tied to her forehead, and her right cheek was a bit swollen.

The widow, who was feeding chickens in the yard, saw Que Xinyan, stopped feeding the chickens, and hurriedly went into the house.

Zhang Zhiyong winked, "See, I'm not bragging to you."

Li Heng gave a thumbs up again.

Que Xinyan's so-called help was to drive a tractor to the village office to pull corn and call him to press the field.

Sitting on the tractor, Li Heng asked: "Where did your parents go? You should call me."

Zhang Zhiyong said very unhappily: "My old lady is mud that can't support the wall, doesn't have a long memory, was coaxed by sweet words and lost her way, and went to her grandmother's house with the dead old man by a small path, just left not long ago."

The village office was about one or two miles away from the crossroads, right next to the Women's Director's house.

At this time, the Women's Director was drying soybeans at the door with her daughter Liu Juan. Seeing Li Heng standing on the side, she joked with a smile:

"People are refreshed when they have happy events, Li Heng, your complexion looks good, much better than in the first month."

Saying that, the Women's Director said to her daughter: "Go, move two stools over."

Yo!

Who knows who held her daughter in the tractor bucket in the first month and didn't let Liu Juan talk to herself?

From not letting her daughter get close to herself in the past, to now taking the initiative to call her daughter to move a stool for herself, isn't this change in attitude too obvious?

Don't be used to it, don't be used to it.

Li Heng took the stool, said thank you, sat down and asked Liu Juan who was peeking at him: "How many days of monthly break do you have?"

This girl was originally fine, but her face turned red as soon as she spoke, and she started stuttering, lowering her head and saying: "Three, three days."

Seeing her shy appearance, Li Heng couldn't help laughing and asking, "Am I a tiger, so afraid of me?"

Liu Juan glanced at him and lowered it again. While her hands were pulling the beans irregularly, her ears also turned red.

Seeing her daughter so useless, the Women's Director laughed and said: "Li Heng, don't tease her, she's just a country bumpkin who hasn't seen the world."

At this time, an old lady next to her interjected: "Fu Lian, the great talent has taken a fancy to your daughter, why don't I be a matchmaker."

Fu Lian was the Women's Director. Although she usually let her daughter avoid Li Heng, she had a good relationship with Tian Rune. She smiled and took the words: "Okay, as long as Rune agrees, I will marry her over tomorrow."

Look, look, is this human talk?

She hasn't even graduated from high school, and she's thinking about selling her daughter.

Her own mother was forgetful, but Liu Juan wasn't.

Thinking of what happened on the tractor half a year ago, and then hearing the words now, and seeing Li Heng looking at herself with a smile, she was ashamed and couldn't bear it. She didn't help dry the beans anymore, and started to run away in a panic.

Maybe her heart was too anxious, or maybe she was uncomfortable being looked at by Li Heng. As she ran, she lost her footing, and accidentally fell down. She climbed up, hmm... this girl covered her forehead with her right hand and drilled into the house.

"Doing things carelessly, no gatekeeper." The Women's Director saw her daughter's performance, and scolded a sentence.

Turning back, the Women's Director said to Li Heng: "Let you see a joke, are you transporting corn?"

"Yes."

Li Heng is a celebrity now, bringing his own traffic. He hadn't sat down for long before the people near the village office surrounded him, and he had to pull his skin for a long time before he could get away.

Watching the tractor shake away slowly, the old lady who was going to be a matchmaker just now said: "The rich don't dislike the poor, the poor don't have a bad heart, look, the Li family has risen again, and someone wants to curry favor again."

The Women's Director sighed: "Who says it isn't, I'm just afraid that those people who fell into the well and threw stones too hard before, now it's hard to curry favor."

A new daughter-in-law who had just married into the village next to her said to the Women's Director: "Sister-in-law, Li Heng is talented and capable. If you really marry Xiao Juan over, you can follow and eat spicy food for a lifetime."

The Women's Director smiled and didn't take the words.

Because she knew in her heart that although Li Heng chatted with her politely for so long just now, there was actually a sense of distance in his bones.

Maybe it was her act of pulling her daughter behind her in the first month that provoked him.

The Women's Director thought secretly, if she had known he could turn over so quickly, let alone her daughter talking to him at close range, even if she had really coaxed her daughter to bed, it wouldn't matter. At worst, set the engagement directly and get married after graduation.

On the tractor.

Zhang Zhiyong said sullenly: "Master Heng, you are really developed now. Just now those people only looked for you to chat, and I was like a small transparent. It's damn uncomfortable!"

Li Heng joked: "Is it because you look a bit ugly?"

Zhang Zhiyong freed his left hand to touch his head, and for the first time was so unconfident: "Am I really that ugly?"

Li Heng teased: "It doesn't matter if you're ugly, as long as a man has money in his pocket."

Zhang Zhiyong felt desperate: "But I don't have as much money as you."

Li Heng said: "Then you have to count on your dad. If he continues to climb the widow's bed, you will have more income. Keep an eye on it, this is an endless source of wealth."

Zhang Zhiyong gasped and looked back at him, but felt that what he said made so much sense.

That cheap goods can earn money by driving a tractor, and only wins and never loses at cards. If he keeps an eye on it, wouldn't it all fall into his own pocket?

Thinking of this, Que Xinyan laughed like a pig, "That cheap goods and my little aunt's husband have discussed it, and they plan to go to the Zijiang River to open a sand mining and gold panning boat next month."

Li Heng didn't have much reaction after hearing it. The Zhang family was doing this in later generations, just curiously asked: "How many shares does your family have?"

Zhang Zhiyong said: "35%, my little aunt's husband 35%, and the rest are used by my little aunt's husband to handle human feelings."

Li Heng nodded: "Sand mining and gold panning are both high-risk and high-yield industries. It definitely won't work without someone covering it."

People who can do sand mining and gold panning in this era are all ruthless people, and they all have a group of capable people under them. If they don't have some hard strength, they might float on the river one day.

And Que Xinyan's father is a famous gangster leader in the front town. Although he doesn't harm the villagers, he is famous outside, and people are terrified. Otherwise, his mother wouldn't be able to control him?

It was noon when he returned home.

With the leftovers from the morning, he simply finished a bowl of rice, and then carried two bags of sugar and two bottles of wine to Second Uncle's house.

Second Uncle's house is not far away, and it is in the same courtyard as Yang Yingwen's house.

Speaking of which, the wooden house where the Yang family lives now used to be Second Uncle's. Later, the landlords were divided, and the fields, soil, mountains, and houses were all confiscated and redistributed by the commune.

"Second Uncle, I'm here to visit you, how is your health recently?"

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Second Uncle sitting under the pear tree to cool off, drinking rice wine while pointing out to Yang Yingwen's father how to slaughter a dog.

Hearing the shout, Second Uncle turned his head slowly. After seeing clearly that it was Li Heng, he showed a mouthful of old yellow teeth and said:

"You kid is here, you showed off a great power today."

The two had a very good relationship and were familiar with each other. When he was a child, he didn't like to work. Apart from hiding in the room to read, he followed behind the old man to catch fish and shrimp, and learned a lot of skills.

And Second Uncle was very loyal, and every time he would share some fish, shrimp, and yellow eels with him, ensuring that their family could have a full meal.

Li Heng sat down next to him, "No, it's all thanks to your blessing."

Saying that, he put the wine and sugar aside, "This is my filial piety to you."

"Not bad, this candy is not cheap. Not bad, I love to drink this wine, I've been craving it for several years, but I've never had the money to buy it..." Second Uncle didn't be polite with him, stretched out his skin-and-bone hand, grabbed the candy and looked at it, then grabbed the wine and looked at it, overjoyed, and kept praising it as good.

"As long as you like it, I'll buy it for you to eat when I come back later."

Just as he was chatting with Second Uncle, Yang Yingwen walked over when she heard the sound.

Li Heng teased, "Dare to sit with me?"

Yang Yingwen instinctively wanted to choke him, but thinking that he had finally had a glorious moment today, she took back the bad words that came to her mouth:

"You are a person with a master now, I don't need to avoid it."

Li Heng glanced at her, "A person with a master can conflict with a heartless radish, aren't you always thinking I'm a heartless radish?"

Because there were outsiders, Yang Yingwen didn't bicker with him about this, but said: "Why don't I stir-fry two dishes for you, and you accompany your Second Uncle to drink some?"

Li Heng glanced at Yang's father who was slaughtering the dog, lowered his voice and asked: "Your dad is so stingy, do you dare?"

Yang Yingwen didn't answer, got up and went straight to the kitchen. She proved whether she dared or not with her actions.

After a while, a plate of peanuts, a plate of sour peppers, and a plate of smashed cucumbers came. Although they couldn't be counted as big dishes, they were absolutely sincere and excellent for drinking.

Li Heng greeted her, "Old rag, come, let's drink together."

Second Uncle didn't call her, but had already poured a glass of wine and handed it to Yang Yingwen, chewing two peanuts, and then said to himself:

"Eat one meal less one meal, Yang girl's cooking skills are getting better and better, I can't eat a few more meals."

Yang Yingwen followed and called Second Uncle, "Second Uncle, don't talk nonsense, I see your body can live a hundred years."

Second Uncle stretched out a palm, "Five months, at most five months, I'm afraid to scare you if I say it, now every night there are many old friends coming to chat with me."

Hearing this, Yang's father looked up, "Last night you old man was under the pear tree in the middle of the night, muttering for a long time, are you talking to something?"

Second Uncle didn't answer, handed a glass of wine to Yang's father: "Come, come and drink a sip, I can be considered to have watched you grow up, I have always had a word I want to say to you."

Yang's father reached out and took the wine, poured it into his mouth, "What kind of burning words are you going to say again?"

Second Uncle pointed to Yang Yingwen and said: "You have lived for more than 50 years and have always considered yourself smart. Actually, sigh, you have always been a confused egg in my eyes.

If you want to leave decently in the future, you still have to be close to her. The three above you are not as good as one of her fingers."

Yang's father glanced at Yang Yingwen, turned his head angrily, and continued to slaughter the dog.

The conversation ended unhappily.

Yang Yingwen didn't want to be an eyesore, so she packed up and left, no matter how her mother and sister persuaded or pulled her.

Li Heng chased out, "Old rag, there is no car now, where can you go? Are you going to Xiao Han's house?"

Yang Yingwen was holding a breath in her heart, "Tell me, if I marry a man now, will I regret it?"

What is this and what, Li Heng couldn't laugh or cry, "You will definitely regret it in the future."

Yang Yingwen's face was full of sadness, "Then I can only go to Xiao Han's house."

Li Heng asked: "Do you want me to send you?"

"No, what do you send in broad daylight, you are busy yourself, anyway, you have to go to school tomorrow morning." Yang Yingwen refused very simply.

After walking a few steps, she threatened again, "Li Heng, when I get into college, I will never come back."

"With your grades, you can go to college in a few months."

"I won't come back for four years of college."

"Then what do you eat?"

"With hands and feet, I won't starve to death. If it really doesn't work, I'll go pick up trash and sell it."

Li Heng asked: "What about your mother, don't you care about her anymore?"

Yang Yingwen said: "I'll pick her up when I have the ability."

Li Heng was silent, and said after a while: "If there is really such a day, come to me, I might be able to give you a trick."

"Hmm, I remember your words."

In the evening.

Li Heng heard Yang Yingwen's mother and Comrade Tian Rune talking about the grades of the two children, complaining.

Tian Rune comforted: "Don't be sad, with your Yingwen's grades, Tsinghua and Peking University are stable. When the time comes, your family will change their attitude."

Yang's mother sobbed in a low voice: "I'm just afraid that the fourth one will be cold-hearted and won't come back in the future."

Yang Yingwen is the fourth in the family, and adults call her Xiao Si.

Tian Rune said: "How could that be, her roots are here, you are here, angry words are angry words, how can she really not come back."

Actually, Li Heng didn't quite understand Yang's father's brain circuit. Is he really stupid? Or is he unable to let go of his face and be stubborn?

Obviously, the old rag is much better than the three daughters above, but damn it, he just doesn't like it, and finds fault left and right.

Perhaps, it is still the feudal small-scale peasant thought at work, and the point of view has not changed.

He thinks that no matter how good a daughter is, she will marry someone else and be an outsider. He thinks Yang Yingwen cut off his last hope, and the Yang family has no male descendants to inherit the incense, so he vented all his anger on his youngest daughter.

After dinner, the second sister sat on the threshold and cracked melon seeds as usual.

Seeing her younger brother coming over, she asked symbolically: "Do you want to eat some?"

Forget it, 200 yuan in exchange for a cheap word.

Li Heng was also speechless, hooked a small wooden stool with his right foot and sat down: "You eat, I don't have much interest in these."

The eldest sister leaned over and ate a handful with relish.

Glancing at the eldest sister's optimistic appearance, and then at her increasingly big belly, Li Heng asked: "Did brother-in-law come back to see you in the first half of the year?"

Hearing the word brother-in-law, Li Lan threw a look of contempt directly.

She was resolutely opposed to the eldest sister marrying a carpenter apprentice at the beginning, saying that the other party had no appearance, no talent, and no spirit. What's the use of just being tall?

But the eldest sister took a fancy to it herself, and the parents didn't object, so she married.

At that time, the second sister said: If you marry such a short person, I won't call him brother-in-law.

Facts proved that this sister did what she said. In her previous life, she didn't call him brother-in-law. On the day of her marriage, people used red envelopes to lure her to call, but she didn't open her mouth.

It's fine if she doesn't call herself, but she didn't allow Li Heng to call him before. If the younger brother called once, she would find an unwarranted excuse to beat him up.

You say you met such an unreasonable person, who can you cry to?

The eldest sister said with satisfaction: "He came back twice, brought me a hen, bought meat, and gastrodia."

It's quite intentional to come back twice in half a year from Huaihua. After all, it takes a few days to walk back and forth, and it's all deep mountains and old forests, which is not so easy.

There is a car to sit.

But money is so precious in these years, who is willing to spend it easily? Everyone usually walks on mountain roads.

Let alone Huaihua, even if you go to the Nanyue Hengshan Mountain for pilgrimage, you walk, bring dry food, and bring two sets of change of clothes, and then set off in a team.

Water is not brought. If you meet someone on the road, you go to ask for water. If there is mountain spring water, it is better. If it really doesn't work, lying in the field is the same to drink.

Not joking, Li Heng drank it in the field when he was a child, and could still see leeches and that kind of small red thread worms in the water.

At first he didn't dare to drink, but adults picked a place without worms at will, and finally patted their bellies and said that if it's not clean, it's not sick, and he really didn't see anyone have an accident.

Maybe, mostly, people in this era work frequently, have good physical fitness, and have become accustomed to and immune to such environmental hygiene.

Li Heng took out 100 yuan from his pocket, stuffed it into the eldest sister's hand, and said: "I was in a hurry to come back this time, and I arrived in town very late, and I didn't see anything good to sell, so I didn't buy it. Eldest sister, take this money, go buy something you like, buy something you crave."

With so much money, Li Yan was startled, and refused to take it no matter what, pushing and pulling for a long time.

Later, Li Lan couldn't stand it anymore and said calmly: "Only fools don't want money."

Li Yan turned back: "Ah?"

Li Lan reached out: "If you don't want it, give it to me. I'll remember this feeling. You have a man anyway, and he can give you eight or ten yuan a year."

Li Yan looked at her younger brother, then at her second sister, and accepted it, "Mother-in-law is sick and needs money, I'll take it."

Li Lan glanced at her younger brother, as if saying: Use your brain, prescribe the right medicine, don't just know how to pick up girls every day.

Li Heng rolled his eyes back, ignoring her.

The eldest sister was most afraid of others calling her a fool, and couldn't listen to the word "fool" at all. The second sister used such a radical method, how could it not be effective?

He didn't understand, he just felt that it was too dishonest.

Someone across the street called the eldest sister to go over and sit, wanting to get gossip about Li Heng from her mouth, and the eldest sister went happily.

Li Lan and Li Heng didn't stop her either. Anyway, they never had too many requirements for this eldest sister, happiness is the most important thing.

After people left, Li Lan asked him, "You gave all the money, what do you use?"

Li Heng said: "I still have a scholarship."

Li Lan reacted, said oh, and continued to crack melon seeds.

Listening to the neighbors' chatter on the threshold, the two sisters and brothers went upstairs later and lit a lamp to read.

One graduated from health school this year and will be working soon.

One will take the college entrance examination in a month, and the studies are even more tense.

Before separating on the second floor, Li Heng asked: "Is that thick-browed and big-eyed one pursuing you last time?"

Li Lan raised her chin: "There are many people pursuing me, all of them are thick-browed and big-eyed."

Li Heng found it funny, and said: "They are all licking dogs."

The word licking dog made Li Lan stunned for a moment, but the next second she knew what it was according to the literal meaning, and immediately used it to counterattack: "Are you a licking dog of Chen Zijin?"

Li Heng glared at her.

Li Lan changed a name: "Song Yu's?"

Li Heng reached out and pushed her away, crossed her and walked to his compartment.

Li Lan provoked from behind: "If you can make Chen Xiaomi fall in love with you, I will admire you."

This sister is really unwilling to give up, she is really bad-hearted.

Li Heng was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, opened the door with his foot, and drilled in.

No words all night, he first reviewed Chinese, then brushed a set of math problems, then recited politics for a while, and finally went to sleep.

Because there was no watch, he didn't know what time it was when he lay on the bed, only felt that the night was very deep, and even the dogs didn't bark.
