Li Mingxi sighed, "That's right. However, this matter has become a source of worry for the old man. I think if he is not allowed to go back, he will probably have this regret until his death!"
Simao understood what Li Mingxi meant. That's how old people are, they love to be sad.
Thinking about the recent period, their factory happened to organize a study trip to the next county. He was reluctant to go at first, but after listening to the old man's story.
Simao felt that he should also participate, send the person back and help take a look.
This is considered a good deed for him!
So, he got hungry later.
"Well, our factory has a job that needs to be done in the next county. I didn't want to go there originally, but now I feel that I really need to go and take a look!"
Li Mingxi originally wanted Brother Simao to help him think of a solution, but he never expected that he would actually accompany Old Man Wang back. This is too much!
Although considering the relationship between Brother Simao and myself, doing these things is nothing.
As soon as Li Mingxi heard what Simao said, he spoke directly.
"Brother Simao, if it really doesn't work, forget it. You can't let this matter delay your work!"
Simao drove the car steadily forward and spoke with a normal expression.
"Nothing, nothing. Isn't this just a coincidence? Anyway, the county next door is no different from ours, and there's nothing much to learn. Besides, I have my own purpose in escorting the old man, so don't worry about it!"
Li Mingxi knew immediately that Brother Simao was doing this on purpose, so she compromised. "Okay, Brother Simao, I'll go to the county town tomorrow to talk to Old Man Wang about this, and then you two can go together!"
"Anything works!"
The two of them rode the tractor and chatted as they arrived home.
There happened to be a group of old men and women talking at the entrance of the village. Then, from a distance, Simao was seen driving a tractor, pulling a large pile of furniture towards this side.
He asked before anyone came up to him.
"Hey, Simao, where are you pulling the furniture? It looks pretty good to me! What? Are you going to give it to your grandma?"
Brother Simao said with a smile, "Uncle, you guessed wrong, this is not my fault, it was my sister who did it, I just helped!"
Li Mingxi answered immediately, "This isn't the scrap they were going to sell to the scrap yard. I thought it looked pretty good, so I brought it back!"
When they heard that it was Li Mingxi who bought it, everyone was shocked.
After all, the furniture on this tractor is piled very high, and it must cost a lot of money.
Just then, someone with jealous eyes asked.
"Xiao Xi, these must be quite expensive. I have to be good. How much did you spend?"
Everyone knew that the little granddaughter of the old Li family was favored, but no one knew that it had reached such a point that this little girl had to spend so much money by herself!
Li Mingxi looked at everyone's eager eyes and knew what they were thinking. He was afraid that some bad remarks would be spread, so he waved his hands quickly.
He explained to everyone, "It doesn't cost much. These were originally unwanted timber. I saw that these were good timbers, so I thought I'd just bring them back and use them for burning. This way, I don't have to go up the mountain to chop wood later!"
"That's right, I think you have a pretty good eye for this, it's really suitable for making fire!"
An old man agreed. He was old, but when he saw these fine woods, he couldn't let them go.
There were a few little girls around who were a little disdainful of what Li Mingxi said and just curled their lips.
What good wood! You actually want to take it home to burn in the fire? What a waste!
To be honest, they really can't stand Li Mingxi from the Li family.
Speaking of which, among so many girls in the village, who has a better life than Li Mingxi!
Especially the clothes she was wearing, the fabric was something they had never seen before.
No matter what time it is, there are always some shameless people who shamelessly ask for benefits from others.
As soon as Li Mingxi said that he wanted to burn these furniture as firewood, the shameless middle-aged woman stepped forward and asked.
"Xiao Xi, look, your brother David is getting married soon, and we still have some furniture. You said you wanted to use the furniture to make a fire, so I was wondering if you could give it to us?"
As if she was afraid that Li Mingxi would not agree to her, she quickly added another sentence.
“We can give you money!”
The person who came forward to ask for the things was Miao Xiang. She said this because she subconsciously thought that the furniture was good.
Although she didn't know what kind of wood these were like Li Mingxi, she could tell at a glance that these things were much better than the furniture they had prepared for their son!
Besides, didn’t Li Mingxi just say that she brought all this home just to burn as firewood?
There's nothing wrong with giving it to your own home!
Li Mingxi had never seen such a shameless person. Since she had taken so much trouble to ask Brother Simao to bring these things home, they must be useful. Why should he just give them to her like this?
However, she was too embarrassed to refuse openly. They were from the same village. If she rejected her, she didn't know how she would spread gossip about her to others.
After pondering for a moment, Li Mingxi spoke.
"Is that so, Auntie? Look at these things. How much are you going to give me?"
Miao Xiang was only thinking about taking advantage, but didn't think about giving money to Li Mingxi. What she said just now was just a casual remark.
As soon as she heard Li Mingxi's words, her face changed immediately.
She shouted back, "Why are you asking for money? You just brought this thing back to use as fuel. We're all from the same village. Do you really have the nerve to ask me for money?"
Miao Xiang's words sounded unreasonable, and several women around her looked at her with disapproval.
Li Mingxi glanced at the people standing nearby and spoke slowly.
"Auntie, what you said is wrong. I had a hard time getting it back here. My brother Simao drove a tractor with me!"
"You said you wanted to take it away just by talking to me. Isn't that too easy? Besides, your family is getting married, shouldn't you buy new furniture? It's not good to use these old ones. It won't be good if the new daughter-in-law finds out!"
Miao Xiang didn't believe what Li Mingxi said and took a sip directly.
"After all, you just don't want to give it to me. You're just being stingy!"
After saying this, she raised her head. If you didn't know her, you would think she was very generous!
What Li Mingxi can't stand the most is people like this. It is obvious that her own ideas are wrong, but she still criticizes others. I really don't know from what perspective they evaluate others like this.
However, the people around her were affected by her words.
