Chapter 315: Did You Really Think I Didn't Know You Were the One Causing Trouble?

Wang Jianqiang and Wang Yonggan pushed their bicycles out the door one after the other.

Two years ago, there wasn't a single bicycle in the Wang family, but now there were three.

One for his father, Wang Daguang, one for his eldest brother, Wang Fenjin, and one for his second brother, Wang Yonggan.

Li Ye said, "Qiangzi, should I take you? You just ate; don't get a stitch."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head and said, "Brother, I'll take you. I have the strength."

The two bicycles went from the west side of the county to the southwest, arriving in a while.

From a distance, Li Ye saw fire at his own door, as if it were a bonfire.

Looking closer, it really was.

A pile of firewood was burning brightly at the door, and his two younger sisters, Li Juan and Li Ying, were circling the fire and stomping their feet.

"What are you two doing at the door? Playing with fire?"

Sister Li Juan looked up, and only after looking carefully did she say happily, "Brother, didn't you say you were driving back? Why did you switch to bicycles?"

Younger sister Li Ying quickly whispered, "Stop asking. It must have broken down on the road, and Brother is upset! Don't talk too much."

"Oh, oh, oh~"

Li Juan agreed twice, then turned and shouted toward the courtyard, "Mom, Brother is back!"

Li Ying was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed with an even louder voice, "Dad, Brother is back!!!"

Li Ye found it funny. He jumped off the bike at the door and habitually rubbed the heads of the two little girls.

As a result, his touch was ice-cold.

Well! Li Ye had thought they were dancing around a bonfire, but it turned out they were freezing and trying to keep warm!

"It's so cold, why aren't you warming up inside? What are you playing at the door for?"

"Hehe, Dad said he calculated the time you should arrive, so Sister and I waited at the door for a while. Our family has plenty of firewood; it's not cold..."

"Still saying it's not cold. You'll freeze into idiots if you stay any longer. Hurry inside!"

Li Ye scolded them with a smile and chased the two little girls into the house, but he didn't see the desolation on Wang Jianqiang's face behind him.

Entering the Li family, it was just as Wang Jianqiang had said: the whole family was still awake.

Li Zhongfa and Li Kaijian greeted Li Ye, Wang Jianqiang, and Fan Chunhua's mother and son into the main room, while Grandma Wu Juying and Han Chunmei brought the two little girls, constantly serving dishes from the kitchen. In a short while, four plates and six bowls were set on the dining table.

Li Ye asked, "Grandpa, Grandma, you haven't eaten yet?"

Wu Juying said with a smile, "We adults have eaten; the two little ones just had a snack. They said they'd wait for you to come back to eat together. Hurry up and eat! It's just the right temperature."

Li Juan and Li Ying smiled and went to get chopsticks and spoons, setting a pair for Li Ye and the Wang family mother and children.

Fan Chunhua quickly said, "Auntie, Uncle, we've eaten. It's just that Qiangzi said he had something to discuss with his Uncle, so we came over so late."

"Discuss something with me?" Li Zhongfa asked Wang Jianqiang in confusion, "Qiangzi, what do you have to discuss with me?"

Wang Jianqiang said with a smile, "It's nothing much, just that I learned martial arts from you, Master, when I was young. These past two years, my brother took me out to explore, which taught me skills and broadened my horizons."

"If it weren't for you, Master, not minding me back then, and if it weren't for my brother not minding me back then, I might not have turned out like a person by now. I used to be clumsy with words and didn't even know how to say thank you. Today, I must..."

"Qiangzi, what are you saying?"

Li Ye poked Wang Jianqiang, who was becoming more and more emotional, interrupting his story.

Grandpa Li Zhongfa also looked strange, but he immediately said, "Qiangzi, you're being too polite. A good man needs three helpers! You went out to explore with Xiao Ye, didn't you also help him?"

"Thinking back to when I survived the hail of bullets, it was also thanks to a few brothers who were willing to die for me..."

Wu Juying waited for Li Zhongfa to finish his sentiment and also said with a smile, "Qiangzi, what kind of person are you? We don't care about flowery words..."

"By the way, I heard you're seeing a girl in the capital. Why didn't you bring her over for me to see?"

Wang Jianqiang said with a sheepish smile, "Sister Xiao Yue took her to stay at the guesthouse. I'll bring her tomorrow to let you and Grandma see her."

"That's settled then,"

Wu Juying glanced at Fan Chunhua, her expression complex, and said, "Whether a girl from outside is reliable or not, you have to let your Master check."

Wang Jianqiang quickly said, "She's reliable, she's reliable."

"Hehe~"

Fan Chunhua listened to Wu Juying's laughter and looked at the four plates and six bowls on the table. The feeling was truly like sitting on pins and needles; she wished she could leave right now.

And she had a lot of complaints about Wang Jianqiang in her heart.

【Just a thank you, when couldn't you say it? Why did you have to pick this time?】

Wang Jianqiang was still sensible; he ate some dishes casually and then left.

Li Ye and his two younger sisters saw them out the courtyard gate, and then sister Li Juan quietly gossiped with Li Ye.

"Brother, Sixth Aunt came to our house a few days ago and told Grandpa that girls from outside aren't reliable, wanting Grandpa to tell Qiangzi to marry a girl from Daliu Township in the east..."

Li Ye looked at Li Juan, this little gossip, and asked with a smile, "There's such a thing?"

Li Juan nodded and said, "It's true! I heard Dad and Mom say that Sixth Aunt wants to marry a local daughter-in-law so she can stay at home and be ordered around..."

Younger sister Li Ying immediately added, "And the wages. As long as the daughter-in-law is in our county, the family won't be separated, and Qiangzi still has to send money home every month."

"..."

Li Ye couldn't help but laugh.

Sixth Aunt really had a lot of ghost ideas, but she lacked vision and couldn't see the changes of the times.

If it were the generation of Wu Juying, the mother-in-law was the absolute authority in the family. If she shouted, "Everyone kneel down," basically no one in the family would be standing, and even the dogs would have to hide, otherwise they would be beaten to vent her anger.

But by the generation of Han Chunmei, they were the ones who worked hard without complaint, but occasionally dared to talk back to their mother-in-law.

But by the generation of Huang Suwen, their minds were basically on their own men and children. If you expected them to be ordered around by their mother-in-law, that was very unrealistic.

Wait another twenty years...

Forget it, I won't say it. Thinking about it brings tears.

Wang Jianqiang pushed his bicycle out of the Li family, and he didn't get on to ride it the whole way; he just pushed it.

"Qiangzi, did you sprain your foot? Why aren't you riding? If you aren't riding, we're leaving!"

Fan Chunhua and Wang Yonggan felt uncomfortable at the Li family, so naturally, their words weren't very pleasant.

But Wang Jianqiang felt even more uncomfortable.

He simply propped the bicycle by the side of the road and turned to look at Fan Chunhua.

"Mom, did you see it just now?"

"What? See what?"

"See what?" Wang Jianqiang raised his hand, pointed at his chest, and said emotionally, "Wasn't it clear enough just now at Master's house? I am your own son!"

Fan Chunhua: "..."

Wang Jianqiang waved his arm, pointing in the direction of Li Ye's house: "You are my own mother, but Xiao Ye's mother is a stepmother..."

"But when Xiao Ye comes home, look at how many dishes a stepmother leaves for him. Today I brought my girlfriend home, and you only gave me a bowl of noodles?"

Wang Jianqiang's tears finally fell.

He was truly wronged.

When he left home after the Spring Festival this year, he really thought he had become the pillar of the family.

But is this the treatment for the pillar of a family?

The current Wang Jianqiang felt that he was still that blockheaded boy who was disliked by his family for eating an extra bowl of rice.

Still that silly child who would rather go to Jin Peng's house to eat a bite than go home, and whose family wouldn't even look for him.

"Actually, it doesn't matter what I eat. I don't blame you for not leaving me food. Anyway, I've gotten used to it over the years..."

Wang Jianqiang let the tears slide down his face and said sadly, "But she walked eight hundred miles with me after all! Her brother is watching from behind. You are slapping me in the face! I, Wang Jianqiang, am also a person who wants face now!"

"Slap, slap, slap~"

Wang Jianqiang waved his palm and slapped himself loudly.

He didn't know what to do now.

Huang Gang didn't say a word today, but what would he say to his mother after returning to the capital?

Wang Jianqiang had been in the capital for two years; could he not know the arrogance of the people in the capital?

If you respect me a foot, I respect you a yard. If you don't take us seriously, eight cows won't be able to pull us back.

Fan Chunhua couldn't speak. She didn't even know how she had gone wrong with this matter today.

She had truly gotten used to it over all these years!

At this moment, the second son, Wang Yonggan, finally couldn't help but say angrily, "Third Son, what are you saying? Are you filial? The wine and dishes were prepared at home. Didn't you come home late? Besides, what do you mean by good food? Aren't white flour noodles good? How many meals have you eaten..."

"Go to hell!"

Wang Jianqiang roared a Beijing curse and kicked Wang Yonggan.

He really couldn't say anything to his mother, after all, there was the grace of birth and upbringing, but he had long been impatient with his second brother.

"Third Son, you..."

Wang Yonggan felt he couldn't breathe. If it weren't for the thick winter clothes, he felt that kick could have cost him half his life.

But immediately after, he discovered that Wang Jianqiang wasn't satisfied with just one kick and was pressing over like a small tank, rumbling.

"Boom, boom, boom~"

"You think I'm really stupid! That girl from Daliu Township was your idea, right! I send eighty yuan home every month, and now I bring a girlfriend home, why is there no food at home? You think I really don't understand who is causing trouble?"

"Clang, clang, clang~"

Wang Jianqiang vented the anger in his heart on Wang Yonggan.

"The three new tiled rooms you built aren't bad! I heard the girlfriend you're seeing isn't bad either! Eating my food, using my things, and still putting on airs with me. You really think I'm easy to bully~"

"..."

The Wang family all thought Wang Jianqiang had just been a driver outside for the past two years!

But they didn't expect that others had long been calling him "Brother Qiang."

Dwelling in one's position cultivates one's aura. If you don't show your power, they'll think you're still a one-year-old blockhead?

I'm going, I misread the time and thought eleven o'clock was twelve o'clock; otherwise, I could have connected the next part. I only realized it after sending it out...

I messed up; I misread the time, thinking eleven o'clock was twelve o'clock. Otherwise, I could have attached the next part, but I only realized it after I'd already posted it.
