He said that Li Daqiang's family was hypocritical, and if they didn't want to support him, they shouldn't. Did they really think he liked staying in their house, spending every day with that idiot Li Wuchi?
He used to be waited on hand and foot; now he has to wait on others. It's a miracle he hasn't retaliated.
In the dark, Zhou Wenzhu carefully opened the door and went out, carrying her shoes. She put them on at the doorway and followed behind Li Daqiang, memorizing the route and calculating the time as she went.
When they arrived at a courtyard, Li Daqiang went in alone. After waiting for several minutes without seeing anyone come out, Zhou Wenzhu changed direction and went to the place he had been asking about for a long time.
Li Daqiang and his men finally arrived. It was indeed a large shipment, four or five hundred catties of grain. Just as they were paying, the door was pushed open, and a man with an embroidered badge on his arm rushed in.
With the evidence and evidence in hand, Li Daqiang was arrested. As he was being escorted out, Li Daqiang saw Zhou Wenzhu.
"It was you, you ungrateful wretch, who killed me."
There was nothing he couldn't understand; Li Daqiang knew at a glance that Zhou Wenzhu had reported him.
"You're the ingrate."
Zhou Wenzhu cursed angrily, not feeling he had gone too far at all. He had been waiting there mainly to see if the person inside was Boss Li, but unfortunately it wasn't.
"Pah! You heartless bastard! If it weren't for my wife, you would have starved and frozen to death in the alley long ago. I've been feeding and caring for you, and you actually reported me! Just you wait, I won't let you get away with this, as long as I... mmm... mmm..."
Even with his mouth gagged, and after walking quite a distance, Li Daqiang kept his eyes fixed on Zhou Wenzhu, as if trying to memorize his face.
"Kid, where is Li Daqiang's wife?"
A menacing-looking man shoved Zhou Wenzhu. They had been watching Li Daqiang for a long time, but they didn't know he had a wife. If they hadn't let it slip, there would have been some who escaped.
However, this kid is a ruthless character. Li Daqiang said that if Zhou Wenzhu hadn't died in the alley and reported them, none of them would have been capable of doing such a thing.
"I...I won't..."
"Speak quickly."
Zhou Wenzhu was pushed again and fell to the ground. He didn't want to say it, but Li Daqiang's wife treated him quite well. If Li Daqiang's wife were gone, who would support him?
The fist was getting closer and closer. Zhou Wenzhu closed her eyes and spoke.
"I'll take you there."
He's innocent; he still has a great grudge to settle. Presumably, Li Daqiang's wife will understand him. Besides, Li Daqiang did something wrong; what's wrong with his wife being implicated?
With a few words, Zhou Wenzhu readily led the way. Once at the door, however, she refused to go in.
"Open the door! Open the door!"
A group of people were making a lot of noise, but no one dared to come out.
Li Daqiang's wife turned pale, realizing that Li Daqiang had been caught doing something wrong. In a panic, she hid Li Wuchi in the bed hole she had prepared beforehand.
"Chichi, you must remember, no matter what happens, you must not make a sound."
Seeing Li Wuchi's bewildered expression, Li Daqiang's wife was overcome with grief. She took out ten ten-yuan bills and stuffed them into Li Wuchi's arms.
"Chichi, you must hide this money well and never tell anyone, not even Zhou Wenzhu. Your parents will come looking for you. If all else fails, go to a man named Li Aiguo and tell him your father's name is Li Daqiang. Considering our past relationship, he will treat you well. Remember not to make a sound."
The light was blocked for a moment, but Li Daqiang's wife bravely put on her clothes, wiped away her tears, and opened the door.
Boss Li: Thanks for the invitation. You're investigating me behind my back, yet you expect me to remember our past friendship.
If there hadn't been any eavesdropping, Boss Li might have treated Li Wuchi well out of consideration for their friendship. But now that they know the truth, friendship is utterly worthless.
Li Daqiang's wife was taken away, the house was a mess, not a single stool was intact, and Li Wuchi was hiding in the bed hole, biting his hand.
Hatred flickered in his innocent eyes. He knew who Li Aiguo was—the big client and good partner that Li Daqiang often told him about.
When he woke up that night, his mother told him that his father had gone to meet a big client.
In Li Wuchi's mind, the big client was equivalent to Li Aiguo. He would obey, go find Li Aiguo, live well, and then avenge his parents.
The disjointed storylines connect, and even things that had nothing to do with Boss Li are now being blamed on him.
Li Yiyi: Uh, Dad is so outrageous.
Zhou Wenzhu came in and searched for a while, but found nothing. She looked again and again at the place where Li Daqiang hid the money, but found nothing before giving up.
They said they were good to him, but they didn't even leave him anything.
The forgetful Zhou Wenzhu had forgotten that it was he who led the people to report Li Daqiang, and that it was he who led the people to Li Daqiang's house.
Having gained nothing, Zhou Wenzhu had no choice but to return to the production team. Fortunately, he lived in the cowshed behind the mountain, a sparsely populated area where, apart from Li Yiyi and Li Laoda, no one else knew he was gone.
Back in the cowshed, Zhou Wenzhu started complaining about Li Daqiang's inhuman behavior again. When she overheard Li Fuyi's good reputation, Zhou Wenzhu felt that he was alright again.
Li Wuchi only came out after hearing no sound on the second day. He had been hungry for a day and a night, and there was nothing to eat at home. Li Wuchi ran into the yard and frantically drank water.
Afterwards, she sat in the yard, covered her mouth, and cried softly. Her home was gone; it was all Li Laoda's fault.
The start date arrived, and Boss Li went to start work with his employment form, completely unaware that Li Wuchi was coming to find him.
Zhou Wenzhu endured it for two days, but finally couldn't take it anymore. He brought Li Fuyi the wild vegetables he had painstakingly dug up, the ones he had finally managed to get to know. This time, he had learned his lesson.
Instead of swaggering along the production team's road, Zhou Wenzhu avoided people as soon as she encountered them. She arrived safely at the Li family's door, and, suppressing her excitement, knocked.
Sister Fuyi, he's here.
[Huh, why is the male lead back?]
But why did Zhou Wenzhu come to our house?
Has he already met with Li Fuyi?
Li Yiyi propped herself up on her little hands and looked at Zhou Wenzhu outside the courtyard gate. Zhou Wenzhu was doing quite well at Li Daqiang's house, and her complexion was even better than when she was in the production team. She wondered what he was doing here.
Male lead, Zhou Wenzhu
Jiang Yuting absentmindedly wondered what Zhou Wenzhu was doing here, since he lived in the cowshed behind the mountain. She stopped sewing and, holding Li Yi, looked towards the door.
“Brother Guowei, someone is knocking on the door.”
Li Fuyi sat on the stool, propping her cute little face up as she looked at Yang Guowei.
"Little sister Fubao, I'll go open the door. Sit up straight so you don't fall."
The more Yang Guowei interacted with Li Fuyi, the more he felt she was kind, and his affection for her grew stronger. He couldn't understand why he had initially thought she was two-faced.
Li Yiyi: Because of the "female lead, male supporting character" rule.
"I understand, Brother Guowei."
"Mom, I'm about to throw up. You're so sickeningly sweet at such a young age."
How could she call out "Li Fuyi" like that? Couldn't she just speak normally?
Don't think I can't see it; Yang Guowei's good fortune is flowing into Li Fuyi.
[Li Fuyi is really something—sweetly calling out to people while simultaneously seeking popularity.]
Jiang Yuting pretended not to hear anything and also pretended not to see Li Fuyi and Yang Guowei; she was completely invisible.
