As soon as Li Aimin entered the house, he saw Liu Zhaodi pacing around with a nervous look on her face.
He casually asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you walking back and forth?"
After asking this question, Li Aimin didn't even look at Liu Zhaodi. He took the basin and went straight to the kitchen. After scooping some water, he brought it out.
The weather was a bit hot today, so he and Old Man Li and a few others went out and sweated all over. As soon as they came back, they wanted to wash their faces.
Liu Zhaodi was so anxious that she didn't notice Li Aimin coming back.
It wasn't until she heard the man's voice that she realized her man had returned.
Thinking about the rumors outside, Liu Zhaodi was extremely scared.
But no matter how scared she was, she couldn't tell her husband about this, otherwise, she was afraid that her husband would send her back to her parents' home.
So she didn't look at Li Aimin who was washing his face, but picked up the chicken feeder on the ground.
"Oh, nothing? Didn't you go to town with Dad and Big Brother? Why are you back so early?"
Li Aimin poured the water from the basin into the vegetable patch before replying, "Hey, forget it. We went to look for Guiying, but she didn't know she was going to work today. Then, the three of us went to her house, but she wasn't home."
"So you didn't find anyone here, so you came back?"
Li Aimin nodded. "Of course I am. When I come back, I can go to the fields and earn some more work points so that we can marry Wumao. If I wait here all the time, I won't have anything to do today."
Liu Zhaodi continued to ask, "Didn't you ask where the whole family went?"
"Her neighbors said something happened with her in-laws. I don't know the details, so don't ask. Dad is worried about this!"
Seeing that Li Aimin's attention was indeed diverted by her words, Liu Zhaodi finally felt relieved.
"Then you haven't eaten yet? Let me cook for you." After putting down the basin, Liu Zhaodi went straight to the kitchen.
On this side, when Old Man Li arrived home, it was time for dinner. Niu Cuihua looked unhappy when she saw him come back, but she didn't say anything.
After dinner, Niu Cuihua first asked how the matter was going. Old Man Li said that he didn't find the person, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Then, Niu Cuihua talked about the recent rumors.
"Old man, what do you think we should do about this?" After Niu Cuihua finished speaking, she looked at Old Man Li with a puzzled look.
"In my opinion, we shouldn't worry about this. It's just a rumor? It will die down after a while."
Old man Li thought, the more you stop this, the more people will talk about it.
When Niu Cuihua heard what Old Man Li said, she thought it made sense and stopped talking.
But regardless of the rumors, there is someone who has to take care of it, and that is Liu Zhaodi. This woman has no choice but to take care of it now.
Li Mingxi didn't know how Niu Cuihua managed Liu Zhaodi, nor did he worry about it.
Anyway, later she heard that because of this incident, her third uncle Li Aimin ignored Liu Zhaodi for a long time.
The next day, as soon as Li Mingxi got up, he rode his bike to the county town.
Before going to bed last night, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't been to the county town for a long time, so she thought about going there to take a look.
I don’t know how Chen Kangdao has been doing recently. Thinking about the woman he met last time when he went to their house, Li Mingxi was very worried.
Before he knew it, Li Mingxi rode his bike to Chen Kangdao's house.
By the time she reacted, the person was already standing at the door of Chen Kangdao's house. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she heard a commotion inside, and the voices of both men and women.
It seemed like they were arguing about something. Remembering what he saw last time, Li Mingxi became very worried and was just about to go in.
The noisy sound stopped, and then Chen Kangdao's old voice sounded.
"Okay, go away. You are not welcome in our house, and we don't need you to help us."
A sharp female voice followed, "Did you hear that? My uncle said you don't need to take the lead. Why are you still standing here?"
When Li Mingxi heard this, he pushed the door open and went in.
As soon as Li Mingxi entered, the people who were arguing all looked at her.
Seeing Li Mingxi coming in, before Chen Kangdao could say anything, Zhu Qiang was the first to say in surprise, "Hey, Comrade Li, why are you here?"
Li Mingxi looked inside following the sound and saw Huo Jingchen and Zhu Qiang standing together. Next to them stood Chen Kangdao and a group of strangers, including the two people he had met last time.
"Oh, I'm here to see Grandpa Chen."
Li Mingxi was very confused when he saw Huo Jingchen and Zhu Qiang at Chen Kangdao's house.
At this time, someone asked, "Who are you? What are you doing in our house?"
Before Li Mingxi could speak, Chen Kangdao spoke up, "We have something to do at home, please come down next time!"
After these words were spoken, no one cared about who Li Mingxi was anymore, and they started to focus on Huo Jingchen and Zhu Qiang again.
These people said all kinds of nasty things and were not afraid of Huo Jingchen at all.
Huo Jingchen was already very annoyed just now, and now listening to this group of people yelling, his face turned black.
When Zhu Qiang saw him like this, he knew that the captain was angry. If he let this group of people talk nonsense here again, he didn't know what kind of trouble he would suffer when he returned.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiang began to debate with the group of people. After a debate, he finally drove these people away.
But the three of them were also driven out. Chen Kangdao didn't want to see Huo Jingchen and the others, and Li Mingxi also suffered.
However, Li Mingxi was not unhappy, but looked at Zhu Qiang with starry eyes.
Just now, she was watching Zhu Qiang arguing with this group of people in the yard and was full of admiration.
None of that group of unreasonable people could say anything to Zhu Qiang.
At this moment, Li Mingxi looked at Zhu Qiang as if he had seen a new world. It was nothing more than that, men at this time were all patriarchal and disdained to quarrel with women.
Zhu Qiang was amazing. Not only did he quarrel with a group of people, but he also won. Isn’t that amazing?
Isn't this a talented person? According to Li Mingxi, this person can definitely become a negotiation expert.
Thinking of this, Li Mingxi gave Zhu Qiang a thumbs up and praised him, "You are amazing!"
Huo Jingchen looked at Li Mingxi's admiration for Zhu Qiang and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and his face looked a little ugly.
Zhu Qiang was very happy about Li Mingxi's praise, but he didn't show it on his face and just waved his hand.
Then, Zhu Qiang raised his eyebrows at Huo Jingchen, as if to say, praise me quickly.
When Huo Jingchen saw him like that, he just felt it was disgusting and didn't want to pay any attention to him.
At the same time, I also blamed him in my heart for only knowing how to attract little girls.
Huo Jingchen was just thinking about making him run as punishment when he got home in the evening when he heard Zhu Qiang's voice.
"Comrade Li, you haven't told me why you went to Old Chen's house just now?"
Seeing Zhu Qiang asking Li Mingxi this, Huo Jingchen also pricked up his ears to listen.
Li Mingxi glanced at the two grown men and naturally couldn't tell them that he got to know them by selling things.
So she just said something nonsense, "Well, we met by chance, and we've been friends ever since."
