Chapter 149 Humble and Kind



Tao Xianghong reached out and didn't touch Li Sheng, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

This happened in public, even if it was his own man.

It’s not good to touch it directly, right?

So she withdrew her hand stiffly and asked again, stammering, "Are you okay out there?"

Without waiting for Li Sheng to answer, she spoke eagerly, "Chang Ke is doing well. He has grown up and has been admitted to the best high school in the county."

"The teachers all said that he would definitely be able to get into university in the future."

"Everyone in the village likes him. By the way, you haven't met him yet, right?"

"I'll ask someone to tell Chang Ke to come back."

"You'll definitely like him."

Facing her husband whom she had not seen for many years, Tao Xianghong did not feel hatred or resentment, but was cautious and wanted to bring her husband back to her home.

She knew that she was now blind and in poor health.

She has long become a burden to her son Li Changke.

On the way to the village committee, she had heard that her husband had become rich and a big boss.

She immediately thought: as long as her son is willing to recognize her husband and repair the father-son relationship.

Li Changke will have a father to rely on in the future and will be able to live a good life.

As long as her son is well, she doesn't care what happens to herself...

This humble and kind woman knew that there was another woman standing next to her husband.

But for the sake of her son, she didn't complain at all.

She swallowed her tears and tried hard to get close to her husband, just wanting the best life for her son.

"You you you, I I..."

Seeing that Tao Xianghong didn't cry or make a fuss, Li Sheng felt guilty.

He stammered, "I wanted to meet the folks before going home and give you and Chang Ke a surprise."

"Well, you should go back first. I still have a few words to say to the folks, and then I'll go back."

Tao Xianghong gritted her teeth and nodded: "What do you want to say? I'll wait for you to finish and then go back together."

"Otherwise, you've been alone for more than ten years and I'm afraid you won't be able to find your home."

"this……"

What else does Li Sheng want to say?

He was grabbed by Liu Jin.

The woman dressed coquettishly and beautifully pursed her lips and gently reminded him, "It's more important to talk about business."

Before meeting Tao Xianghong, Liu Jin was a little worried about her importance in Li Sheng's heart.

After all, I heard that Tao Xianghong gave Li Sheng a very outstanding son.

But now I saw with my own eyes that the other person was just a thin, miserable, blind woman.

Liu Jin completely ignored the other party.

"Ah, yes, yes, I have something important to say. It's important."

Li Sheng then spoke loudly, "I came back this time and saw that after so many years away from home, the people in my hometown are still living in such shabby conditions."

"Nine out of ten houses are still made of mud bricks. It breaks my heart to see them!"

"It just so happens that I have someone who knows how to fire a kiln."

"I decided to invest in building a factory in the village, a kiln factory."

"All the bricks and tiles produced in the first year were given to the villagers for building new houses free of charge. We didn't charge a penny."

"What do the folks think?"

Is there such a good thing?

The villagers cheered when they heard this: "Great! Great! Boss Sheng is so generous..."

Li Sheng added, "However, building a kiln requires land."

"It's a pretty big piece. I just got back and I don't know where I can use the land."

"I just think that the crops in the fields are growing well, it would be a shame if they were destroyed."

"That piece of wasteland behind our village is quite suitable. I don't know how many years it has been left uncultivated."

"What do you think?"

The wasteland behind the village?

Isn't that a mass grave?

From before liberation to the present, no one knows how many dead bodies have been buried there.

There are only wild forests and wild graves, which have been accumulated for countless generations.

Fortunately, few of them are ancestors of the villagers.

The wasteland is within the scope of Linzhuang Village and indeed has no owner.

There is no dispute about using it to build a factory.

But, that’s a mass grave!

Isn't it unlucky to build a factory in that kind of place?

Someone immediately reminded him, "Boss Sheng, that place is filled with yin energy!"

Li Sheng said calmly, "Hey, we're building a kiln factory. What kind of factory is a kiln factory? There's always fire going on!"

"No matter how gloomy the place is, our big furnace is burning every day. How can we be afraid of them?"

"Besides, the country has long since overthrown feudal superstition. How can a living person be afraid of that?"

"I chose that piece of land for everyone's consideration."

"Where else should we build the kiln?"

"Our Linzhuang Village already has very little land per capita, and we'll take up a few more acres."

"It won't be good for anyone who gets affected by this!"

It is better to destroy a mass grave than to destroy fertile farmland.

Besides, places like mass graves are not good places in the first place, so it’s a pity to destroy them.

Seeing this, the village secretary of Linzhuang Village immediately stood up.

Expressing his attitude: "Mr. Li is very thoughtful. It is great that the kiln factory is still in existence in the mass grave."

“But how should it be built specifically, and should it be built there?”

"We still need everyone to vote and I'll report to the township."

"The factory can only be built after the township approves it."

Li Sheng quickly said, "Yes, yes, that's right. I'll trouble you, Secretary."

Then he took out a box of cigarettes that the villagers had never seen before and stuffed it directly into the secretary's hand.

The secretary accepted it with a smile and asked the accountant to bring paper and pen to count the villagers' votes.

Li Sheng then followed Tao Xianghong back to his original home.

As soon as I stepped into the house, I saw the low and dim house with bare walls.
