Volume 1 Chapter 284 Li Qiudong's Guarantee
Li Tian hung up the phone and said to everyone, "You all heard it, right? I asked the buyer to turn around and come back. He will be here around 3 or 4 this afternoon. He will return the oranges to you intact. Of course, you also have to return the money you paid."
He would rather not wade in this muddy water.
It was originally a well-intentioned act, but in the end he was accused of cheating everyone out of their hard-earned money. This was even more unfair than Dou E. If that was the case, he would just find someone capable. He was too lazy to deal with these trivial matters.
"Uncles, aunts, uncles and aunts, you should have no questions, right?" Li Tian said calmly.
Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly I felt a little uneasy.
"If you have no problem, just disperse. It will have a bad impact if you block our door." Li Tian said this and turned back to the house.
At this time, Li Qiudong patted his chest and said loudly, "Don't worry, I will take care of the sales of the oranges. I will definitely help you sell them at the price of three yuan!"
"Really?"
"Donggua, this is not the right time to brag."
"Yes, Winter Melon, we all rely on you."
The whole village gathered around Li Qiudong, their eyes shining with joy. Being able to sell oranges for only three yuan was definitely a great success.
"Don't worry. I, Li Qiudong, know a lot of people. I didn't say yesterday that I couldn't find a market. It just takes time to find one." Li Qiudong reassured everyone.
Li Tian shook his head. After all, he was a member of the Li family. He couldn't help but turn around and say one more thing: "Winter melon, you can target me, but don't let the whole village pay for your stupidity. The oranges are ripe and will soon start to drop. Find a market as soon as possible. Otherwise, the longer you delay, the greater the loss will be for everyone."
Upon hearing this, Li Qiudong sneered and said, "Li Tian, just because you know one or two people in Binhai, you really think you are a big shot, right? Without you, the earth will not turn? Without you, the tangerines in Lijia Village will not be sold? I tell you, as long as I, Li Qiudong, am here, the tangerines in the village will not be a problem!"
"Well done, Donggua. We believe in you!" Aunt Tao Xiu applauded Li Qiudong.
She led the applause, and the others followed suit.
After clapping, Auntie Tao Xiu said in a sinister tone, "I can trust Donggua's character. He is not like a certain person who came back from Binhai. He is simply a wolf in sheep's clothing. He opened and closed his lips and cheated us out of more than one million yuan without making a sound. If Donggua had not investigated it clearly, we would still be kept in the dark and worship him as a savior."
"Yes, his character is too bad. He even cheated people in our village. I don't know why Ruoxi would marry such a person."
"Donggua has good character and a successful career, but he is still unmarried. In my opinion, Donggua is the one who deserves Ruoxi."
"Why did they get divorced? They don't have any conscience at all. It's because they are poor and useless. They can't even keep their wives."
There are not so many simple folks in the countryside. Every village has a bunch of snobbish women, and Aunt Tao Xiu is the leader.
Now, in their eyes, Li Tian is a sinister villain, so naturally their words are as unpleasant as they can be.
"Get out! Get out! Our Xiaotian doesn't deserve any gossip from you bitches!"
At this time, grandpa rushed out, raised his cane and was about to hit someone.
The group of snobbish people were frightened and ran away quickly.
"Mad old man!"
Aunt Taoxiu left cursing, but she didn't dare to bother with Li Tian's grandfather any more. The old man suffered from Alzheimer's disease and would really hit people when he got crazy.
Li Tian and his father hurried to calm his grandfather down.
"Zhiyuan, you are the head of the family. Xiaotian has been bullied to this extent, how come you dare not even fart?" Grandpa was rarely sober and blamed Li Zhiyuan.
"Dad, we are from the same village. We will meet each other sooner or later. It is better to make a big thing small and a small thing nothing." Li Zhiyuan frowned.
Grandpa used his cane to hit Li Zhiyuan on the butt a few times and scolded him, "Coward, wimp, good-for-nothing!" Then he smiled and held Li Tian's hand and said, "Xiaotian, don't learn from your father. We in the Li family don't cause trouble, but we can't be afraid of trouble either. Next time someone bullies you again, you'll have to beat him up, but remember to be careful not to beat him to death!"
"Okay, I get it, Grandpa." Li Tian felt that his temperament matched that of his grandfather.
I don’t know if my dad is my biological father, but my grandpa is definitely my biological father.
"Hey, this is my good son. By the way, Zhiyuan, where is Xiaotian? I haven't seen him for a long time. You should ask him to come back and tell him that grandpa misses him." Grandpa suddenly became confused again. There was a serious break in his logical thinking. He looked at Li Tian with his cloudy old eyes like an old widower and said.
Li Tian's heart twitched and his eyes slowly turned red.
At this time, he was thinking, it would be great if he could take his family to settle down on the coast and stay with them forever.
My grandpa is old now, I don’t know if he can wait until that time.
I have to grow up as quickly as possible and stand tall on the land of China like a mountain, so that I can accompany my family peacefully until the end of their lives. I cannot let the tragedy of "a son wishes to take care of his parents but they are no longer around" happen to me.
Back to the second floor.
Gu Ruoxi was standing on the balcony holding a cup of hot tea. Her long black hair and fair neck made her look so charming that she could captivate everyone.
"Have you booked the ticket?" Li Tian walked over.
Gu Ruoxi glanced at him and said, "I'm not leaving today."
"Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Li Tian asked curiously.
"I want to see when they come to beg you."
Gu Ruoxi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. She just saw the villagers accusing Li Tian excitedly, and she felt inexplicably angry.
"Wife, I didn't expect you to be so strong." Li Tian joked.
Gu Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him.
"Donggua is a successful person, so he has a lot of connections. Maybe he can find a better sales channel."
Li Tian said something that he himself did not believe. To be honest, if he had not spoken out, would the price of a pound of oranges in Binhai be three yuan? That was a dream.
He used the entire coastal area to pay for the oranges in Lijia Village, but the villagers thought he was making money from their hard-earned money. It was so depressing.
"I'm sure he can find a market, but it's impossible for him to find a better market than yours."
Gu Ruoxi said firmly, "The current market price of tangerines has dropped to RMB 1.5. Some remote areas even offer a price of 50 cents per pound in order to attract buyers to come to their doorsteps to purchase. Compared to these, your sales of RMB 2 per pound are already sky-high prices."
"Wife, I find that you have become very down-to-earth. Now you talk about oranges all the time. Hehe..." Li Tian said with a smile.
Hearing him calling her "wife" left and right, Gu Ruoxi's cheeks felt burning.
"I told you not to call me that!"
"Oh well."
Li Tian nodded, "Wife, I'm going to walk around the village to look for our childhood memories. Do you want to come?"
Gu Ruoxi went crazy and said angrily, "No!"
"Then I'll go alone."
Li Tian went out. When he came back last night, he put himself in the shoes of Phantom. If Phantom was still hiding with his parents, he must have a place to shelter from the wind and rain without being noticed.
Although growing citrus fruits is popular in Lijia Village, there are still many families who work away from home, and the houses in the village are vacant. The ghost may be in one of them.
