The Yang family's matter has come to an end for the time being.

Li Mingqing went to the market with Sun Jiaxue as planned.

There were quite a lot of people on the road, all of whom were coming to the New Year's market from various villages. Many of them recognized Li Mingqing and greeted him.

When we get to the market.

Zhou Jingli and a woman were walking towards them.

When he came back yesterday, Li Mingqing heard from the villagers that Zhou Jingli had gone to the next village to be a son-in-law.

I took the college entrance examination this summer and failed again.

There was a high probability that he would not be able to go to college in this life, and he was already old, so he found a girl from the neighboring village to start a family.

Zhou Jingli was stunned when he saw him.

I was very surprised to see Li Mingqing. I didn't expect to meet him at the market after not seeing him for a year.

The successful and successful Li Mingqing will return to the small mountain village to celebrate the New Year.

If it were him, he would never come back.

Li Mingqing didn't want to say hello and was about to walk over. At this time, Zhou Jingli spoke.

"I thought I was dazzled. Why did you return to the village?"

"Come back for the New Year."

He looked at Sun Jiaxue next to Li Mingqing, and then looked at the woman next to him.

I got angry immediately.

Comparing yourself to others is really frustrating.

Looking at other people's wives, they are generous, beautiful and elegant, and then looking at my own wife, who is dark and ugly, it is really unbearable.

"You're doing so well, you shouldn't show your appreciation to your fellow villagers by contributing money and effort. When I was desperate and had nowhere to stay, you wouldn't even let me stay at your house for a few nights. You're so stingy."

Zhou Jingli said sarcastically.

Li Mingqing laughed when he heard this. He was really shameless.

"Why don't you tell me how you ended up in such a desperate situation? Why should I let you live in my house? Besides, don't you know what kind of person you are? The other educated youths were merciful enough by not beating you up. Don't be ungrateful."

Sun Jiaxue saw the woman opposite staring at her and looked back.

The woman immediately shifted her gaze and stood there at a loss.

When Zhou Jingli saw this, he pulled the woman next to him and left.

I couldn't win the argument with Li Mingqing every time, and the more I thought about it, the more upset I felt. I was so angry during the New Year.

"I didn't expect that Zhou Zhiqing actually got married. It's incredible," Sun Jiaxue exclaimed.

"It's mainly because he's old, and there's no place for him in the village, so he has no choice but to live in another village. I heard his wife has a disability, her hearing is not very good, and she can hardly hear anything."

"No wonder Zhou Jingli dragged her along when she left just now."

The two went to the market.

The shouts of hawkers were endless and the paths between the vendors were filled with people.

A large stage was set up in the middle of the market, and there were people performing lion dances, and the people in the audience cheered.

Li Mingqing sighed that it had been a long time since he had been to such a lively market.

It was crowded and very festive.

He and Sun Jiaxue finally found a relatively spacious place to stand.

The lion dance performance on the stage was enthusiastic and the audience below applauded.

Li Mingqing was watching with great interest when he suddenly felt someone touching his pocket.

The first reaction was that I was being targeted by a thief.

He swiftly put the hand on his pocket and turned his head to see a young man.

The young man who was caught red-handed tried to pull his hand away.

"Young man, it's New Year's Day, can you please do something serious? You're young and strong, but you don't follow the right path and just do some sneaky things. You're lucky to have stolen from me. I'm going to help you turn over a new leaf."

The Public Security Bureau is not far away, and it only takes seven or eight minutes to walk there.

Li Mingqing pulled him and was about to walk out of the crowd.

The young man struggled hard to break free, but his captured hand could not move at all.

"Brother, let's talk it over nicely. Life is really difficult."

"I'm not a police officer. If you have anything to say, go talk to the police. I'm the victim. If I hadn't reacted quickly, you would have stolen my entire bag of money. Who would I have cried to then?"

"Brother, I can see you're not short of money. It's New Year's Day, please let me go."

The young man begged.

Li Mingqing was not moved at all. If he did something wrong, he had to accept the punishment.

You can tell from his appearance that he is a repeat offender. If he is not punished, he will commit burglary next time.

Sun Jiaxue followed to a relatively open place with a worried look on her face.

"Wife, I caught a thief and I'm going to take him to the police station first. Do you want to come with me or just wander around the market by yourself?"

"I'll go with you."

It would be better for her to go with you instead of letting her feel at ease here.

Seeing that Li Mingqing was determined to send him to the Public Security Bureau, the young man threatened:

"Let me go quickly! You don't think I'm alone, do you? I have helpers and brothers. Two fists can't beat four hands!"

"Haha, threatening me? I want to see if your brothers come to rescue you."

"Aren't you afraid? They're not as easy to talk to as I am."

"Afraid? I'll send you both to the police station. You're still young and you're not good at learning. You're always doing petty thefts and other nasty things. You live in a nearby village, right? It would be easier for your family to get you to the police station."

Li Mingqing didn't care at all and said calmly.

After so many years of adventure, how could he still be scared by a young boy?

Seeing that the young man was about the same age as Xiangdong, Sun Jiaxue asked, "You should be married, right?"

"No, it will be soon, after the New Year," said the young man.

Li Mingqing slapped him on the forehead: "Then you still haven't learned your lesson!"

"Brother, please let go first. Next time I see you, I'll take a detour. You didn't lose any money, so why did you have to send me to the police station? It's Chinese New Year soon, and the police are going to have a holiday. Also, my brothers are not as easy to talk to as I am. They really use knives."
