Brothers Shen Weimin and Shen Limin wolfed down the mushrooms that were piled high in their bowls.
"It's so delicious, so delicious. How long has it been since we had such a good meal?"
"You are grown up now, you should show some promise." Although Wang Huilian scolded her two sons, she kept serving them food with a smile.
Old Man Shen also ate with gusto: "If you can add two pieces of meat and stew it, it will be even more delicious."
Chen Qiushu, with his mouth bulging with food, agreed: "It must be fragrant. This mushroom must be oily to be delicious."
Just as the Shen family was happily eating mushrooms, a woman's voice suddenly came from the yard.
Everyone at the table was stunned, mainly because the man's voice was beyond the Shen family's expectations.
It turned out to be Hu Lili's voice.
Ever since Shen Weimin tried to force Hu Lili but failed last time, everyone at the educated youth site has been avoiding the Shen family.
Even if we meet face to face, no one would say hello.
It can be said that the Shen family was on the blacklist in the minds of several educated youth.
Shen Weimin's eyes instantly shone with light, and his breathing became more and more rapid.
He felt that Hu Lili must have repented and realized his goodness.
So before Old Man Shen could say anything, Shen Weimin put down his bowl and chopsticks and rushed out.
"Lili, come in quickly, our family is..."
Shen Weimin rushed to the door excitedly, and just when he was about to invite Hu Lili in to have something to eat, he suddenly found that there were several people standing at the gate besides Hu Lili.
He looked carefully and saw that they were the people from the educated youth site. Including Hu Lili, there were a total of 5 people, and they were all present.
Seeing that she didn't come alone, the smile on Shen Weimin's face disappeared immediately.
As soon as Hu Lili saw that it was Shen Weimin who came out, the scene of him taking advantage of her last time couldn't help but emerge in her mind, and she immediately took a few steps back in fright.
"What are you doing here?" Shen Weimin looked at the other people, especially Li Jianwen, with a bad face.
If this guy hadn't interfered, Hu Lili might have been pregnant with her own child now.
Li Jianwen smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, the four of us are just here to accompany Hu Zhiqing."
After saying that, he looked at Hu Lili, as if to encourage her and tell her not to be afraid.
Hu Lili felt more confident when she saw that there were five people in her group.
She straightened her chest and took another step forward.
"Shen Weimin, when do you plan to pay back the money your family owes me?"
"Hmm? Uh..." Shen Weimin didn't expect Hu Lili to come to ask for money, and he was suddenly stuck and speechless.
It's true that a penny can make a hero fall!
At this time, Wang Huilian came out of the house.
"Didn't we agree before that we would use work points to offset the loss? Why are you in such a hurry?" Wang Huilian pulled Shen Weimin, wanting him to come into the house.
Now she looks down on Hu Lili again.
She had caused her family to lose such a great person, so even if she knelt down and begged her now, Wang Huilian would not want her to be her daughter-in-law.
Hu Lili: "At the beginning, we said that the unpaid wages would be used to offset the unpaid wages. You can't just not pay back a cent at all, right?"
Liu Xiaoting also chimed in: "That's right, with your little share of work, how long will it take to pay it back?"
"Last time when the food was distributed, Lili only deducted a little from you, which was already a special favor. But your family can't be so shameless. If others don't ask for it, you won't return it, right?"
Wang Huilian had never said a word to this female educated youth surnamed Liu, and she showed no mercy at all: "Who do you think you are? What does it have to do with you? Do you need to care about our affairs?"
"You...you shrew." Liu Xiaoting's face turned red with anger.
Wang Huilian rolled her eyes.
When it comes to swearing, even if you tie these three female educated youth together, they still can't match even one-tenth of my strength.
So she didn't care at all about Liu Xiaoting's words which had no lethality.
Wang Huilian: "I don't have money, but I do have a few lives. It depends on whether you dare to ask for them."
Hu Lili knew that if Wang Huilian was going to cheat, nothing others could say would be of any use.
She said directly: "If you don't have money, you can use something to pay for it. Didn't you just pick up a lot of mushrooms today? You can use that to pay for part of the money."
“…” Wang Huilian was stunned.
She had planned everything, but she had never expected that this group of educated youth would come to her house in such a threatening manner just for the mushrooms they had just picked?
In fact, today Hu Lili and five other educated youth also followed the main group to the mountains.
But the city kids who had never picked mushrooms had only seen dried mushrooms and had never seen fresh ones.
At first I followed others and planned to learn first.
There were not many mushrooms on the nearby mountains, and the people who went there came in groups, so naturally there were very few left for them.
Wang Zhiqiang, one of the educated youth, was a thrifty person. He didn't care what kind of mushrooms they were. As long as he saw them, he would pick them into the basket. He picked up a large basket.
But when they came back, the villagers found that most of them were poisonous and could not be eaten.
The five people smelled the aroma of mushrooms wafting from every household, and their stomachs were already rumbling with cravings.
When they arrived in Dongliang Village, they had no private plots of land and no vegetables to survive the winter, so most of the time they had to eat pickled vegetables.
The cabbage and potatoes you bought have to be eaten sparingly.
My mouth has been drooling for a long time.
A few people originally planned to contribute some money each to buy some mushrooms from the villagers.
But Wang Zhiqiang didn't want to spend the money.
He thought that these things grew naturally in the mountains, so why should he spend money on them?
What's more, if the villagers knew that they wanted to buy it, what if they raised the price?
Finally, it was Zhang Yumei who brought it up: "Doesn't the Shen family owe Lili money? It should be cheaper if we exchange some from them, right?"
"When we buy it back, we can split the cost, right?"
The others thought this was a good idea.
The Shen family owed Hu Lili money, so they went there under the pretext of asking for the money, and then used mushrooms as collateral. They didn't dare to ask for a high price.
That's why there was this scene where five people accompanied Hu Lili to ask for money.
Of course, there was also the reason that Hu Lili didn't dare to come to the Shen family alone.
"Well...we just picked those mushrooms today..." Wang Huilian opened her mouth.
She also planned to dry the mushrooms and store them so that she could enjoy them later!
Li Jianwen said with a smile: "The weather is getting warmer and warmer. Soon we can plant vegetables in the vegetable garden. There is not much use for you to keep mushrooms, right?"
After a while, the vegetables planted in the fields will be edible. For the debt-ridden Shen family, Li Jianwen thinks it is a good deal to use mushrooms to pay off part of the debt.
Wang Huilian gritted her teeth and thought about it, and felt that there was some truth in it.
It means just having one less bite in your mouth, and if that helps pay off your debt, that would be great too.
But she has no say in this matter; the old man has to give the order.
Wang Huilian: "Wait a minute, I'll go into the house and ask my dad first!"
