Shen Zhichu loved him wholeheartedly for sixteen years, yet she was asked to leave empty-handed, just to make room for the "white moonlight" in his heart.
Li Jingshen thought he would...
Chapter 825 Let’s Live Long and Prosperous Together
"The money you want."
The man snatched it away and counted it. It was three hundred yuan. Where did Li Jinxing get so much money at such a late hour?
"Could it be that you hid it from me before?"
"I work on a construction site moving cement. You know how much I can earn in a day. There's no money to hide."
That's true. The man nodded and asked, "Where did you get so much money in such a short time?"
"Don't worry about where I got it from. All you need to know is that I can give you more money in one day than I used to."
Why didn't he tell him? Could this kid have done something shameful? After a closer look, he found that his son looked pretty good after a little cleaning. Some people outside had special fetishes and liked to play this game.
The man had an idea. If he sold it to a rich man with a special fetish, he would probably be able to make a lot of money.
Li Jinxing didn't know what the man was thinking, he just felt that the gaze he was staring at was a bit disgusting.
"Three hundred a day?"
"Three hundred a day, at least nine thousand a month, is enough for you to live on. If something happens to you now, you won't even have three hundred. I can earn money for you now. As long as you treat your mother well, I will take care of you in your old age, and you will still have money. If you want to remarry, you may not find someone more obedient than me, and your life will not be easy. Think about it carefully..."
With every word he spoke, he reminded the man of his role and asked him to consider it.
The man listened carefully to Li Jinxing's words and made a reference. No matter how much money he had, it would soon be spent. But if he had a money-making tool that gave him money every day, he would have endless money.
It's three hundred now, and there might be more in the future. Besides, he has to use the paralyzed woman in the house to restrain Li Jinxing, so he naturally won't let the woman die so early. It would be best if she lives as long as he does.
The man stuffed the money into his trouser pocket and said: "Okay, okay, remember to make more money to honor your father and me in the future. Go and make money during the day, and I will take good care of your mother."
"If you can't take care of it, just hire someone else."
The man refused: "It's a lot of money to hire someone, isn't it just to feed her a few mouthfuls of food and take care of her urination and defecation, don't worry."
Li Jinxing knew the man was just talking casually, so he didn't take it seriously. After all, it was just a show, to make him trust him temporarily, at least to get through tonight. After he drank that can of wine...
Li Jinxing subconsciously glanced at the can of wine and said, "It's so late, I should go to bed. I have to go out very early tomorrow."
The man received three hundred yuan, plus what Li Jinxing gave him before, his net income today was 480 yuan, enough to buy a lot of cigarettes and alcohol, and he could even go to the massage parlor to have some fun.
He didn't ask Li Jinxing if he had any hidden money on him. He could get two hundred yuan from a few dozen yuan in Li Jinxing's pocket before, so he could get five hundred yuan or even one thousand yuan from three hundred yuan in the future.
Li Jinxing returned to the room and closed the door, still propping it up with the table.
"Xiao Xing..."
Li Jin walked over and gently held the woman's hand. Her nails had grown quite long, and she clenched her fists tightly, leaving several bloody marks on her palms, which were scratched by her nails.
Li Jinxing said nothing. He opened the drawer and found a nail clipper. He cut her nails short and trimmed them one by one. He pressed them with his fingertips and only let go after making sure that he would not hurt her palm again.
"Xiaoxing, I'm sorry...it's my fault..."
Li Jinxing shook his head: "You haven't done anything wrong to me. You are the person I love most in this world."
If anyone has to apologize, he should be the one to his mother. If it weren't for him, his mother might have divorced this man and run away.
She was not useless. She protected him and gave him a lot of love. He always kept these in his heart and they were always his hope to survive.
Li Jinxing had already made up his mind that after the man died, he would take his mother away from here and find a new place to rent. He would still return to the Gu family. After all, only there could he, a child, earn more money.
Li Jinxing also realized that people like him would be looked down upon wherever they went. Selling one's dignity and being a dog was certainly not pleasant, but the gains were also great.
Money is really a good thing. It can help me eat well and dress well, take my mother to the hospital for treatment, buy her beautiful clothes, and hire a nurse to take care of her wholeheartedly.
Li Jinxing slept on the edge of the bed all night. The woman's occasional talking in her sleep would wake him up. Finally, it was almost dawn, and Li Jinxing got up at five o'clock and packed up.
As usual, he went into the kitchen to make breakfast, woke the woman up and fed her breakfast before leaving.
The man went out to fool around at night and slept during the day. He was woken up by the noise in the kitchen at this time. He was a little hungry, so he got up and followed the smell into the kitchen. There was porridge and eggs cooking in the pot. He sighed, scooped a bowl of porridge, took out the two eggs in the pot, and grabbed a handful of peanuts from the cupboard. He drank the porridge first to warm his stomach and fill his belly, and then ate the eggs. Of course, the remaining peanuts were used as a side dish for drinking.
The man drinks three times a day. People say drinking is harmful to the body, but he doesn't have any symptoms and his stomach is in good health. He is a typical example of a disaster that will last for thousands of years.
When Li Jin walked out of the room, he saw the man sitting on the tattered sofa, eating peanuts and drinking wine, and he was enjoying it very much.
Li Jinxing glanced at the coffee table and his pupils shrank slightly.
The wine jug on the coffee table was the one he drugged last night.
Can cephalexin plus alcohol really kill people? When Gu Wanqiu said this to Butler Wang, Butler Wang's reaction didn't seem like Gu Wanqiu was lying.
But when will the medicine take effect?
"What are you standing there for? Aren't you supposed to be out working? Remember, you still have to pay three hundred today." The man picked up the glass and took another swig, then frowned. "Why does this wine taste weird? Is it expired? It tastes bitter."
Li Jinxing came back to his senses and looked away, "I'm going out. Remember what you said last night."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of your mother. I hope she lives a long life, and I can live a long life too."
Li Jinxing sneered in his heart, hoping that the medicine was strong enough to send him away today.
After changing his shoes and going out, Li Jinxing saw the man drink another sip of wine when he closed the door.
It was already six o'clock when I went out, and there were few people on the street.
It was unknown how long it would take to walk from here to Gu's house. Li Jinxing was hesitating whether to take a taxi to Gu's house. When he walked to the intersection, he found a black car parked there. It looked familiar. Li Jinxing glanced at the license plate number and found that it was the driver who took him here last night.
Li Jinxing ran over.
The driver opened the window and saw Li Jinxing jogging towards him in the rearview mirror. "The lady asked me to pick you up here."
Li Jinxing said nothing. He opened the car door and got in before saying, "Uncle, how long have you been here?"
"It didn't take long. I waited for about ten minutes." The driver quite liked Li Jinxing. He was sensible and polite. Seeing him so thin and with a pale face, it was really pitiful.
