Chapter 380 Li Jingyi is making trouble again

When Wang Lijuan returned home, she wanted to find someone to share the relief and joy in her heart. However, when she picked up the phone, she remembered that her life in the past two years had been so miserable that she seemed to have no friends with whom she could confide.

Finally, she called Lin Xiaoxia and told her what happened today. She didn't know when it started, but Lin Xiaoxia became the person she trusted most in her heart.

Lin Xiaoxia laughed as Wang Lijuan talked about her plan for the day and the implementation process: "Sister-in-law, you can even act in a spy movie."

Wang Lijuan also laughed: "I have no choice, otherwise who would play tricks on their biological parents? But now I feel very relieved. I really don't need to get involved with them anymore."

"You've seen through everything now, and that's great."

"Xiaoxia, thank you."

"Why are you being so polite to me? We are all family."

"Xiaoxia, call An Ning over one day and I'll treat you to a meal. I used to envy and even be jealous of you, always feeling like I was a step below you. Now I know I was overthinking things, and I promise I won't do that again."

"Well, let's get together someday when we're free."

…

While the aunt and sister-in-law were talking on the phone, some people were busy at the train station and in front of Lingyuan Hotel.

Li Jingyi has been wandering around here for several days with a big bag in her arms. She has recently taken sick leave in the afternoons, saying she was going to the hospital for an IV drip, but in fact she was waiting in front of Lingyuan Hotel to meet Sun Qiang by chance.

Finally seeing Sun Qiang today, she pretended to be surprised and walked forward: "Is that Brother Qiang? What a coincidence, meeting you here."

Sun Qiang looked at Li Jingyi and thought for a while before he remembered who this person was: "Are you Brother Lu's cousin?"

Li Jingyi was particularly happy: "I didn't expect Brother Qiang still remembered me. I am Lu Jingshen's cousin Li Jingyi."

Seeing her holding such a large bag, Sun Qiang asked, "Are you going out?"

Seeing that Sun Qiang had followed her plan, Li Jingyi quickly said, "No, I'm not from here. I came to the city to study. I bought some things with my colleagues on the weekend and wanted to mail them back home. I asked around and they said the post office is in front of the station, but I couldn't find it after looking around."

Sun Qiang said, "You're looking for the post office. I'm walking forward too. I'll take you there."

Li Jingyi was very happy: "Thank you, Brother Qiang."

"You're welcome. I'm on my way too." Sun Qiang said as he led Li Jingyi forward.

Li Jingyi followed Sun Qiang and started to get closer: "Brother Qiang, my sister-in-law said that you two get along like a family. No wonder they treated me so well when you heard me say we were related last time."

This is exactly what Sun Qiang likes to hear: "That's right, they are just like my brother and sister-in-law. Are you cousins?"

"Well, my father and my cousin's mother are cousins. A few years ago, our family moved to Changting County, but we visited each other quite often. My father came over for my cousin's wedding and other occasions. This time I came here to study, and it also happened to be a chance to visit relatives. A few days ago, I also went to Shiqiao Township to visit my cousin's aunt."

"No wonder I haven't heard them mention you before. It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so enjoy yourself. Lingyuan City has a lot of delicious food and fun things to do."

"I'm not familiar with this place either. If Brother Qiang is free, please tell me where to go for fun."

"I really don't have time recently. I'm busy opening a new store in the provincial capital. But we Lingyuan people are very friendly. If you want to go somewhere, just ask the locals and they will tell you."

Li Jingyi was a little disappointed, but she couldn't show it, so she could only say, "That's fine, anyway, I can come over and visit you when I have nothing to do. By the way, Brother Qiang, it's getting late. After I finish mailing the things, I'll treat you to a simple meal."

"Don't be so polite. I'm busy today. We'll have a chance later." Sun Qiang also said politely.

"Okay, let's talk about it later. By the way, Brother Qiang, could you please leave me your phone number? If I can't find my cousin for something, I can ask you to help tell him." Li Jingyi saw that she couldn't have dinner, so she must get his phone number, right?

Sun Qiang took out a business card and handed it over. "It's much harder to find me than to find Brother Lu and Sister-in-law. I can't even count where I go all day." Then he pointed to the post office in front and said, "That's the post office. Go quickly. It's almost time to get off work. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving first."

Li Jingyi accepted the business card and said, "Thank you for your help, Brother Qiang. We'll contact each other later."

Sun Qiang nodded and left to do his own thing.

Li Jingyi held the business card, feeling a little depressed. This didn't count as any progress.

At this moment, she regretted how she had treated Lin Xiaoxia in the first place. Otherwise, with their help, wouldn't it be easy? Even if Sun Qiang wasn't able to do it, there were still others with better conditions. Now the road was blocked by herself, and she really regretted it to death.

What should I do? I need to find another way. I thought today was an opportunity, but in the end, nothing happened. We didn't even have dinner together. What did I do wrong in my planning?

Thinking of this, she remembered another thing she regretted, which was that she forgot to ask Sun Qiang not to tell Lin Xiaoxia that he knew her. But when she thought about it, they had only met by chance twice, so there was nothing to say. She probably wouldn't tell anyone as Sun Qiang was such a busy man.

The weekend soon arrived. Lu Guojiu's family had a roof beam installation this week, so Lu Jingshen and Lin Xiaoxia went back on Saturday night and brought Li Wensong with them. He was now like a child of the Lu family, so it was natural for them to bring him over at this time. Of course, Li Fugui was not informed about this. Li Shaofen was completely disappointed with her younger brother and was worried that they would cause trouble, so she simply didn't tell him.

When we arrived at the village entrance, there were many people in the yard. The open-air stoves had been set up, and the tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and utensils were all there. Everything that needed to be prepared was ready.

Lu Guojiu told a few friends about some things about tomorrow's beam installation.

Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen also went over to greet the elders, and then stood by and listened. She didn't know much about these banquets. In the past, she didn't have to do any important things in their family, so she didn't quite understand.

Li Wensong also stood obediently beside Lu Jingshen.

After Lu Guojiu finished talking to others, Lu Jingshen handed each of the elders who helped him a box of good cigarettes and said a few polite words.

They only went home after everyone who came to help had gone and it was dark.

The yard is full of things, including expensive items like meat, vegetables, cigarettes, and alcohol. I will push them to the new house tomorrow morning.

They had dinner as soon as they got home. After dinner, Lu Guojiu and Li Shaofen started talking about putting up the beams tomorrow.

The person who helped write the account book was Dong Nian, the nephew of Uncle Dong in the East Courtyard. Dong Nian was a teacher with beautiful handwriting. The person who helped collect the money was Zhao Jinzhu, the village accountant. It was a bit of an honor for the boss to be able to invite such a person to help collect the money.

The banquet was hosted by the famous old man Liu Peichang in the village, who was also a famous host in the village.

The cook is Lao Yu, the most famous chef for big pot meals in the surrounding villages. His eight big bowls are authentic.

The people who helped at the banquet, such as those who arranged the cold dishes and washed the dishes, were all neighbors who had a good relationship with Li Shaofen. The people who served the dishes were Lu Lin's friends and classmates. It was also nice to see young girls and wives helping to serve the dishes.

Su Changzhu, Lu Jingyuan and their friends were responsible for distributing cigarettes and alcohol. The young people were quick and strong, and could even move beer boxes and other things.

Because the Lu family has few relatives from other places, only Wang Jinfeng and Lu Guosheng. Now their family is in chaos. They called to say they can't come, saying that Wang Jinfeng's head is not well yet and it is inconvenient. In fact, they don't dare to leave, for fear that if they come out, their home will be occupied by Jiang Zhi.
