In the end, Zhang Yuanli successfully traded half a bowl of leftover rice for a small box.
"Brother Lie, can you check if these are the things you're looking for?"
After Leng Lie finished searching through everything, he nodded and said, "These are all."
More than ten years later, he never expected that he would be able to find everything back.
Fortunately, Chen Ergou's father wasn't very brave.
Otherwise, if it's sold or exchanged, he really won't have anywhere to find it.
He took out ten yuan from his bag and gave it to Zhang Yuanli along with the eight yuan Chen Ergou had.
"This is the wages I paid you for hiring you."
Zhang Yuanli quickly refused, "You and your sister-in-law have already given me quite a lot."
I didn't do anything special; having good food is already a blessing!
Without saying a word, Leng Lie stuffed the money into his hand.
"Take it!"
The tone was firm and left no room for refusal.
Guan Yuxi raised an eyebrow and teased, "If your brother Lie dares to give it to you, why don't you dare to accept it?"
That's all there is to it.
Zhang Yuanli stopped refusing, took the money, and left.
Leng Lie stroked the box and handed it to Guan Yuxi.
"This is from your grandmother, a family heirloom."
"Then let's go offer incense to Grandpa and Grandma tomorrow."
Guan Yuxi hugged the box to her chest.
As a result, my dislike for Chen Ergou lessened somewhat:
"This Chen Ergou isn't entirely useless, is he?"
If his father hadn't stolen the things, they probably would have been ruined by Li Chunhua and her daughter long ago.
How could it possibly fall into her hands?
Leng Lie tightened his grip on her arm slightly. "You're not going to soften your heart, are you?"
One thing at a time, he won't let Chen Ergou off the hook!
Guan Yuxi looked like she had swallowed a fly, and pretended to vomit, "How could this be?"
She's not a saint.
How could she easily forgive the person who attacked her?
What's more, Chen Ergou had developed lustful thoughts towards her!
Leng Lie gently stroked her back.
He looked behind him, his eyes flashing with cold light.
Suddenly, a sound came from the bushes by the roadside.
"ah!"
Guan Yuxi screamed in fright.
Leng Lie hugged her tightly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
His voice was very calm and steady.
His arms were strong and powerful.
Guan Yuxi quickly relaxed. "Go and see what's there?"
"Never mind, it's probably just a stray dog or something."
A mocking smile appeared on Leng Lie's lips.
Guan Yuxi didn't believe it. "Really? It doesn't seem like it."
When stray dogs encounter people, they will tuck their tails between their legs and run away.
Where would they find a place to hide nearby?
She bent down, picked up two stones, and threw them over.
Unfortunately, he missed.
Leng Lie took the other piece.
"Bang!"
A muffled thud was followed by a scream.
A dark figure emerged from the bushes.
"Ah, a ghost!"
Guan Yuxi was so frightened that she hid behind Leng Lie.
Leng Lie hugged her tighter, "Don't be afraid, you're human."
Leng Lie, are you sick in the head?!
"Knowing it was a person, why throw stones?"
Huh, is that Chu Zheling's voice?
Guan Yuxi emerged from behind Leng Lie, angrily picking up a few more stones. "Brother Lie, throw them at him!"
Instead of sleeping at night, you come out and act like a ghost, and you still have the nerve to complain?
Even his own wife has spoken.
Leng Lie, of course, didn't hold back either.
Chu Zheling dodged left and right, but was still hit every time.
He grimaced in pain, but dared not be defiant anymore.
"Stop smashing it, it's all my fault, okay?"
I've been waiting for you here specifically!
Chu Zheling lifted his foot, intending to step across the ditch.
Unexpectedly, he fell into the ditch with a cry of "Ouch!"
"Leng Lie, are you crazy?!"
Chu Zheling groaned and got up.
My clothes were already soaked.
A gentle night breeze blew against him, bringing a refreshing coolness.
Guan Yuxi flicked her sleeves with satisfaction.
The unprecedented warmth made her feel extremely superior.
"You didn't even walk steadily, and you're blaming me, Brother Lie?"
Are you seventy or eighty? You've already learned to extort money?
Guan Yuxi wouldn't tolerate his bad temper.
He handed another small pebble to Leng Lie, saying, "Brother Lie, hit him back!"
Chu Zheling was so angry he almost lost his temper.
He could walk on flat ground even without a single spark.
Will he lose his balance?
It was clearly Leng Lie who hit his leg with a stone, causing him to fall.
However, considering that I needed their help...
He endured it.
"Stop smashing it, it's all my fault, I misunderstood."
Chu Zheling quickly admitted his mistake.
Leng Lie tossed pebbles around, "What's the matter? Speak up."
If it's about Bai Qin, then there's no need to say anything.
Guan Yuxi frowned. "What's wrong with Bai Qin?"
Could something have happened and they're blaming her for it again?
Chu Zheling composed himself for a moment before slowly saying, "She's fine."
However, I would like to ask you, could you please not pursue this matter, considering that she is pregnant...?
Besides, you're alright.
Ha, they really are being generous with other people's money!
Leng Lie's knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists.
Guan Yuxi tugged at Leng Lie, "Brother Lie, don't kill him."
"I have to keep a breath..."
Chu Zheling was shocked.
He ran quickly behind him, and after running about a hundred steps, he felt a little safer.
What do you want to do?
Hitting someone is illegal too. Don't think you're scared just because I didn't sue you last time...
Guan Yuxi scoffed coldly, "You want to sue?"
"Then what makes you think I can't confess to Qin?"
