The two figures quickly disappeared at the gate, and only faint sounds could be heard coming from the gate.
"Mom, why are you pulling me away? Didn't we agree to come here to ask for money?"
"What do you want? Let's talk about it next time. Otherwise, that girl will send you and your mother to jail."
Wait until you can no longer hear the two of them talking.
Chen Kangdao then spoke, "Xiaoxi, you shouldn't have cared about that just now."
Li Mingxi retorted, "Grandpa Chen, what you said is wrong. Tell me, could I just stand by and watch you and Grandma Sun being bullied?"
Chen Kangdao looked embarrassed, "But, if you help us, won't you get yourself into trouble?"
Li Mingxi didn't take it seriously. "What kind of trouble can it cause? Besides, she doesn't know me and doesn't know where I'm from. How can she cause trouble for me?"
Chen Kangdao glanced at Li Mingxi and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Mingxi.
Li Mingxi: "Grandpa Chen, why do I only see you and not Grandma Sun?"
Chen Kangdao sighed, "Oh, don't mention it. I'm sick and in the hospital. I came back to get something and ran into them again. Luckily you helped me, otherwise I don't know how long they would have been arguing with me!"
Li Mingxi really couldn't understand why someone was looking for trouble with Chen Kangdao.
I directly raised the question in my mind, "Why are they doing this?"
Chen Kangdao sighed, "They're all clamoring for this house. You know, we're still alive? If we give it away, where will we live?"
Li Mingxi was puzzled. "But shouldn't the house belong to your child?"
Faced with Li Mingxi's doubts, Chen Kangdao originally didn't want to say anything. After all, their son was a lifelong pain for the old couple.
But the girl in front of him was a nice person, so he sighed and slowly began to speak.
It turned out that the old couple Chen Kangdao had their son in middle age, so they only had one child.
Their son Chen Ming was smart since he was young. When he grew up, he enlisted in the army. The old couple was very happy about this.
But later on, Chen Ming died during a mission.
Now, only the old couple are left.
When Chen Ming was alive, those relatives didn't dare to say anything, but now they have heard that Chen Ming is gone.
Everyone is eyeing this house, hoping that they can transfer the ownership of this house to their own name.
But the old couple are still alive, how could they give the house to someone else?
Besides, with so many relatives, it wouldn’t be appropriate to give it to any of their families!
Since they were unwilling to transfer the ownership, those relatives came to their house to make trouble every few days.
Chen Kangdao's wife, Sun Xiulian, has been in poor health since her son passed away.
Unable to withstand the disturbance caused by these people, he was hospitalized every few days.
I don't know who is in the hospital this time, but I heard that their son's pension has arrived.
Everyone rushed over and came to their house to ask for money, which made Sun Xiu Lian very angry.
After listening to Chen Kangdao's story, Li Mingxi wondered, "Why don't you ask the government to take care of this?"
Chen Kangdao replied, "Well, we were thinking that since we're all relatives, it wouldn't be nice to make things too awkward, but who knew these people would get even worse and go even further!"
Li Mingxi thought about it and it made sense. The old couple might have to use this group of people for some reason. It would be too ugly and it really wouldn't work.
Then he continued, "Besides, these people are just a bunch of idiots. Even if we ask the government to take care of it this time, you can't trouble the officials every time for such a small matter!"
This matter is indeed difficult to handle. Unless you arrest this kind of person, there is no way to control him.
Li Mingxi: "But, we can't just leave it like this, right? Otherwise, what will happen to Grandma Sun's health?"
Chen Kangdao sighed and said, "Let's take it one step at a time. Right now, I just hope she gets better soon."
Li Mingxi felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Chen Kangdao say this, but she also knew that she couldn't do anything about it.
But Li Mingxi still wanted to help them.
So, she spoke directly, "Grandpa Chen, isn't grandma sick? You said I can't help much, so it just so happens that the things I brought can all be considered my gifts to her."
Chen Kangdao refused, "No, no, how can I take things from a little girl like you? Besides, these things are not cheap, we can't take them!"
"It's okay, Grandpa Chen, there aren't many of these, just keep them!"
Chen Kangdao still refused, "No, I can't have that!"
Seeing that he still didn't want it, Li Mingxi just put the thing on the ground and ran away.
He ran and shouted, "Grandpa Chen, just take it."
Seeing this, Chen Kangdao hurriedly chased Li Mingxi out, wanting to give her the money.
By the time he reached the door, Li Mingxi had already disappeared into the alley.
Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Chen Kangdao sighed, "Why is this kid like this!
Looking at the alley in the distance, Chen Kangdao thought that he must give her the money next time they met.
It’s not easy for the little girl to sell these. She was given so many things this time. I wonder how many books she will buy.
Chen Kangdao stood at the gate for a while, then went back, put away his things, locked the door, and went straight to the hospital.
Li Mingxi walked out of the alley and headed towards the black market.
Along the way, she was thinking about what happened to the old couple Chen Kangdao.
They are clearly the families of heroes, yet they are treated like this by their own relatives.
There is no one who doesn't want to bully them and take advantage of them.
This has been the human nature since ancient times: no matter what time it is, people always like to bully the weak.
Some people even feel complacent because they can take advantage of others, and sometimes even think about eating up the whole family.
They never thought about what would happen if the same thing happened to their own family.
Li Mingxi walked and thought like this, and soon he arrived near the black market.
Looking at the black market right in front of him, Li Mingxi thought he had to change his clothes to prevent anyone from recognizing him.
So she found an empty corner, dug out a blue coat from the space, and put it on.
Then she took out a piece of blue cloth and wrapped it around her head.
Later, Li Mingxi remembered that his face was a little pale, so he smeared some dust on his face.
Finally, she took out the backpack she had placed in the space and put it directly on her back.
After everything was done, Li Mingxi pretended nothing had happened and walked towards the black market.
The black market of that time was different from the market in later generations.
Black markets are usually organized by dedicated personnel, so there are people guarding the entrance of the black market to provide tip-offs.
It is precisely because of this that if you want to get in, you need to pay a few cents at the gate to get a pass to enter the black market.
Li Mingxi walked to the door, gave the money, and then someone led her into a yard.
There were many people selling things in the yard. When they saw Li Mingxi coming in, they all looked at Li Mingxi, hoping that she could buy their things.
I then noticed that she was carrying a basket on her back, which obviously meant she wasn't going to buy anything, so I looked away.
