Chapter 35 "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have...
In fact, if Li Ashan just tilted his head slightly, he could successfully avoid the cigarette flying towards him.
But when he saw the thing flying towards him, he still reacted a little slowly as before, and then naturally the thing flew past his right eyebrow.
The end of his eyebrow felt burning with pain, and Li Ashan, half-turning his body, naturally raised his hands to cover the area.
"Bastard, bastard, damn old man, damn old man, damn, damn, damn——"
The sound insulation of the 200,000 yuan Santana was quite good. Because the windows were covered with one-way anti-peep film, the workers coming in and out of the nearby Lijia Brick Factory did not see how Li Chengcai inside went crazy.
In fact, if it were usual, Li Chengcai would have raised his foot and kicked Li Ashan in front of him hard through the front seat.
But now he always wears a collar around his neck, his right hand is in a half-cast, and he wears a shoulder brace on his chest. And while his right leg isn't in a cast now, it was injured at the time, and walking still hurts.
So now, Li Chengcai, whose face turned red and breathing rapidly due to anger, could only use his good hand to smash things around him to vent his anger.
The things he subsequently used to smash people and the windshield in front of him were no longer the soft or hard Zhonghua cigarettes that had a little weight, but the weekly profits that the casino owner had just given him, and the several stacks of RMB that his mother gave him when he returned home in the morning to keep him.
Anyway, this black luxury car, which can now buy three houses in the urban area of Longcheng, was parked on the simple "commercial street" outside the Lijia Cement Factory for several minutes.
Just as everyone around was curious as they passed by, they all subconsciously looked inside. Li Chengcai, who had just vented his anger, took a heavy breath and slowly leaned back.
Looking through the front mirror at his cousin who was tilting his head and covering his forehead, Li Chengcai took several heavy breaths before he slowly regained his senses.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I don't want the money and the cigarettes. Take them and buy some supplements for Auntie."
The man who opened the chess and card shop next door, although he was also Li Chengcai's cousin, was a cousin with a very distant relationship, like a brother in the same clan.
But the man in front of him was Li Chengcai's real cousin, whose father was Li Chengcai's father's older brother. However, his father was a short-lived man who died of an unexpected illness just a few years after having a child. On the other hand, his parents were healthy, and his father was an extremely powerful and remarkable one.
Anyway, facing this cousin who had been raised by his family since childhood and whose mother was sick and could stay in a regular nursing home in the city thanks to his family. At this moment, after venting his anger, Li Chengcai whispered and apologized honestly.
"It's okay. I know you're just angry and didn't mean it. I'll take 500 yuan, and I happen to be a little short of money recently, so I'll keep the cigarettes. You can keep the rest for yourself."
As he spoke, Li Ashan had already bent down and picked up the money at the bottom and in front.
Li Ashan, just as he had said, took only five stacks of five-yuan and ten-yuan bills. He also kept only the cigarette that had hit him on the head. He sorted out all the other things and put them in a paper bag, then turned around and placed it at Li Chengcai's feet.
"..." Li Chengcai looked at his actions and felt a rare bit of genuine guilt in his heart.
When the other party started the car and drove towards his three-story building.
Li Chengcai hesitated for a moment, then said in a very soft tone, "Brother, I really can't swallow this. Go find out where their shop is and let me vent a little. And where is Chen Panpan? Since she is wary of me, why don't you find someone else to tease her a little. You don't have to go too far, just make their shop go bankrupt, and let Chen Panpan, who dared to hit me, be ruined and become a slut that everyone hates. After all, I didn't really kill anyone, so I'll be kind and not let them die. Just let them have a little bad luck."
At the end of his speech, Li Chengcai smiled inexplicably, and his expression was very similar to the time when he played pranks as a child, pushing others into reservoirs and canals and watching them struggle but couldn't climb out.
"Okay, I'll arrange it!"
Li Ashan knew his character, so he didn't say anything to dissuade him. He just agreed very straightforwardly.
Seeing that he was so obedient and sensible, Li Chengcai, who was sitting in the back, was even more satisfied.
After listening to Li Chengcai's words, Li Ashan began to take time to investigate Chen's shop, specifically where it was in Liuping.
On this Saturday, while her husband was taking her two children to their grandparents' house, Wang Xiaohua, who had recently feigned illness, took the bus for a full fifty minutes to reach Liuping Town, a place she had never been before.
Liuping Town and Chenjia Town where she currently lives are both called towns.
Both towns gradually developed because of their two particularly large high schools.
Anyway, Wang Xiaohua has always known about this place and has passed by it countless times before, but has never really walked in.
After getting off the bus, Wang Xiaohua looked at the only main road leading into the town. She didn't ask anyone, but just walked straight along the road.
Later, when she saw No. 6 Middle School inside, she stopped, looked around, and asked passers-by and students.
"Hello classmate, is there a new pancake shop nearby that has just opened for over a month?"
"Hello, comrade. Is there a new bakery nearby? Is it run by an elderly couple over fifty?"
"Sister, please ask you something——"
She asked each and every one of them, searching from shop to shop. Soon someone with the knowledge gave her directions. About two hundred meters past No. 6 Middle School, after a slight turn, she saw Chen's Shaobing Shop in the distance, nestled between two intersections. She also saw her daughter, sitting in the dingy little shop, gesturing to one person while deftly handing a pancake to another customer.
As for Mr. and Mrs. Chen, one of them was bending over a large iron stove as if he was lighting a fire, while the other one was wrapping his hair and kneading the dough.
Wang Xiaoya, standing at the corner, looked ahead with a painful expression.
She had agreed to her husband giving the child to the Chen family across the street because, firstly, she knew the Chens were a good couple and knew they would take good care of the child if they gave him to someone who had lost their only child. Secondly, the Chens were close to hers, so the child would be under their watchful eye. They would know each other's situation at all times, so it felt like the child was the same whether they took the child away or not. That's why she couldn't bear to let him go.
The third reason was that Chen Yongdong, who lived across the street, had died while bravely performing a heroic act. The three families in the village he had saved had actually contributed to his family's funeral expenses. His heroic act had been reported to the higher authorities, who had awarded the Chen family a 500 yuan reward. With that sum, combined with the Chen couple's known frugality and hard work, she knew when she sent her child there that the child would have a good life. At least, considering Uncle Chen had attended literacy classes himself and supported his child through high school, they were certain he would also ensure their child's continued education.
But she never expected that the Chen family would suddenly move with her children and instigate the other party not to get close to her. She never expected that the Chen couple would suddenly open a pancake shop in Liuping.
Watching her daughter standing behind the counter, skillfully serving pancakes to customers and then chatting for a long time with the customers in front before finally selling a can of oil, Wang Xiaoya hid behind the big tree at the corner, her heart aching.
She wanted to rush out and snatch her daughter back from the old couple who were obviously rich but still wanted to make trouble.
She wanted to rush over and pull her own daughter out of that greasy, dirty and terrible environment.
She told the other party that at her age, the place she should be is a study or library, not a dirty and messy environment like now.
But no matter how excited she was, she thought of her husband's identity as a teacher.
Thinking that according to the policies and laws of their Longcheng, they could only have one more child if the first child was a daughter, they absolutely could not have three children at once.
Standing still, watching motionlessly.
After looking for a long time, Wang Xiaoya, who had permed hair, wore a Dacron plaid suit, and a pair of black low-heeled leather shoes, could only turn around slowly.
Their family's current living depends almost entirely on her husband who is a teacher.
They live in a two-bedroom, one-living-room teacher's family compound in Chenjia Town. Her husband recently found her a temporary job as a canteen purchaser. All the respect she has now in both her husband's and her own family is due to her husband's stable job.
So no matter how much she wanted to, she couldn't act impulsively.
In the past, the Chen family lived close to hers, so it was very convenient and natural for her to send food, clothes and shoes to her daughter.
But now that their family has moved to Liuping, Wang Xiaoya feels that nothing she does is right.
She didn't have any relatives or friends here, so she couldn't even find an excuse to just happen to pass by.
Feeling sad, Wang Xiaoya finally took out a handkerchief, covered her cheeks and nose, turned around and ran away very sadly.
"If I had known this would happen, I would have sent it to a place I had no idea about. That way I wouldn't have felt bad or upset."
I suspect that the Chen family will treat their daughter as a working slave, and I suspect that the Chen couple may not allow their daughter to continue studying and go to college in the future because of opening this store.
At this moment, thinking of her two sons and daughters at home who were well-dressed and well-fed, and who would be taken to Xinhua Bookstore by her husband to buy books today, Wang Xiaoya cried even more miserably with her head down and her hands covering her cheeks.
"Please be careful when you walk. You almost bumped into my mom. Are you okay?"
Because she kept her head down, Wang Xiaoya almost bumped into a woman in front of her.
Just when she realized that she almost bumped into someone, Wang Xiaoya's body was suddenly pushed to the side by a young man next to that person.
"This road isn't—"
Wang Xiaoya wanted to apologize, but after being pushed by the other party, her expression changed immediately. Later, she wanted to argue with the other party, but she looked up and saw the woman in front of her with a pale face. She saw that the young man was holding a lot of things in his hands, including a white medical bedpan.
Suddenly realizing where the two people in front of her came from, she felt a little unlucky and was afraid of being infected by their illness. Wang Xiaoya, who was dressed exquisitely and modernly, casually said sorry, then immediately covered her nose and quickly walked around the two people in front of her and went down.
