The next day, Li Sheng got up very early. Su Yunting offered to take Li Sheng to the airport, but he refused.
"No need, I've already called a car. If you insist on being driven, you can just watch from the balcony."
Su Yunting's father was in really good spirits. He played mahjong all night after the ambulance arrived yesterday. Li Sheng went to the nearest bank, withdrew 50,000 yuan, walked up to Su Yunting's father, and put the money on the table.
"Please accept this as a token of my appreciation."
Su Yunting's father immediately took the 50,000 yuan.
"If only you had been this sensible earlier, you would have been much better off."
Several card players grinned, showing off their yellow teeth, and said, "Don't hit your daughter anymore, it'll break her heart if you hurt her."
Li Sheng didn't say anything, just smiled and left. He handed his phone to Naituan at the entrance of the residential area.
Naituan skillfully dialed 110.
"Hello, officer, I'm reporting a gambling den. The location is..."
The Didi car had arrived by then. After hanging up the phone, he sent a text message to Su Yunting, saying he would do a good deed anonymously, and drove off. The amount of money involved in the gambling was so huge that it would take him almost three years of sewing machine work.
If you calculate the rest of the miscellaneous expenses, you'll have made a net profit of 440,000 this month. That's pretty good.
Li Sheng took out his phone, opened the notes app, and wrote down the names of every creditor. He started by contacting the first one and made sure each loan was repaid with an additional 5% interest.
The taxi arrived at the airport. I deleted everyone from my memo list one by one until I cleared the last one. I figured I didn't owe much money anymore, except for some miscellaneous online lending platforms. In the past two years, the government has cracked down hard on these informal lending channels, and several of them have gone bankrupt. I still owe about 500,000 to 600,000 yuan.
He still had tens of thousands of yuan on him to keep for his own use.
Before boarding, Li Sheng saw a familiar figure again. She was dressed entirely in pink, this time even her hair and eyebrows were dyed pink, almost to the point of being abnormal. The beautiful girl immediately spotted Li Sheng and Naituan in the crowd.
Li Sheng refused; he was afraid of women who lacked boundaries.
"Ah ...
Li Sheng retreated in fear, trying to hide behind the milk ball.
“The little one has grown up and become sensible. It’s time for her to do something for her dad.”
However, it was all in vain. Mei Yangyang rushed over, squatted down in a horse stance, and somehow managed to lift Li Sheng up with her small body and spin him around.
This once again made them the focus of the waiting area.
"Brother Wild King, what a coincidence! Have you been thinking about me?"
Li Sheng struggled with all his might to break free and stood behind the milk ball.
"Ms. Qiao Jiaojiao, please be mindful of your image."
Qiao Jiaojiao's makeup today is still exquisite and cute, just like a Barbie doll. Her face is adorned with pink blush and sparkling stars. This time she is wearing a pink sexy tank top and wide-leg jeans. Her delicate collarbone is also covered with fine shimmer.
"Brother Wild King, do I look bad like this? Don't you like it?"
Before Li Sheng could answer, she impatiently reached out her devilish claws towards the baby.
"Quickly say 'Mwah m ...
Without a doubt, her face was covered in lipstick marks.
The vitality of the breast was visibly dwindling; this woman was truly adept at absorbing vital energy.
The baby's eyes conveyed a plea for help: "Daddy, save me."
Fortunately, the boarding announcement came at that moment.
"Alright, we need to board now. See you later if there's a chance."
Qiao Jiaojiao pouted, wanting to rush over and kiss Li Sheng on the face, but fortunately Li Sheng was trained and directly reached out to stop Qiao Jiaojiao's face.
The scoundrels and crazy female fans disguised as cute are truly terrifying. He can now almost understand the fear that celebrities have towards their sasaeng fans.
"I call you sister, please spare my life."
The group of kids instantly became onlookers during that scene. Finally, someone got to take advantage of their dad! It's something to remember.
Unfortunately, her father's defenses are too strong, so it seems he can't be her stepmother either.
After a fierce battle of wits and courage, Li Sheng finally managed to board the plane with the milk ball.
It's safe now.
After a five-hour flight, we took a taxi to the bus station and then traveled to the countryside to reach the new rural village where my parents-in-law lived.
The car was only parked at the village entrance, and he had to walk to his parents-in-law's house. It had been so long since he had been here, and the place had been completely transformed. The roads were newly built, the weeds along the roads had been trimmed and replaced with small trees, and the fields throughout the village were covered with bright yellow rapeseed flowers.
It is extremely beautiful.
There are hardly any young people in the rural village; most of the residents are elderly or children who have stayed in their hometown to study. Nowadays, no one farms anymore; the village's fields have all been contracted out to grow rapeseed flowers, and many city dwellers come down here to take pictures in the sea of flowers.
The road is new, but the route in my memory hasn't changed. My parents-in-law's house is in the middle of the village. If you follow the main road of the village, there is a fork in the road leading up to the two-story building covered with white tiles. That's my parents-in-law's house.
"Daddy, will Grandma and Grandpa like the milk ball?"
The little girl's chubby hand gripped Li Sheng's index finger nervously.
How could they not like their daughter's child: "Of course they would like him, and the baby would also like his maternal grandparents."
From afar, Li Sheng saw his father-in-law carrying a hoe, busy in their small vegetable garden, while his mother-in-law sat in a chair reading a book.
My father-in-law is a retired teacher with a very substantial pension. However, he doesn't live a carefree life because of it. After deducting a portion for household expenses, he uses the rest of his pension to support many children from disadvantaged families. My wife told me that my mother-in-law was also a teacher. When my wife was young, she had health problems and quit her teaching job to stay home and take care of our child.
He didn't know if the elderly couple, who had dedicated their lives to their daughter, could bear to hear the news of his wife's death.
My parents-in-law were already in poor health...
But he couldn't keep it a secret forever. Now that he had brought the milk group, he didn't intend to hide it any longer.
Even from a distance, the little girl ran over on her short legs, calling out loudly, "Grandma, Grandpa~"
The old woman, engrossed in her book, looked up and saw a cute little baby running towards her. The baby's face resembled her daughter's by about 60%.
Looking up again, she saw Li Sheng and immediately stood up. She hadn't seen her daughter and son-in-law for a long time.
“Xia Dong, our son-in-law is back.”
The old man in the vegetable garden immediately put down his hoe and came over, but the two elderly people did not see their daughter behind Li Sheng.
"Son-in-law, where is my daughter? She hasn't come back."
Even after preparing himself all the way, he still didn't know how to start the conversation.
Finally, it was the milk group that stepped forward.
"Are Grandma and Grandpa asking about Mom? Mom was sick and stayed in the hospital for a long, long time, and then she went to heaven."
Upon hearing this, Shang Chunqiu, a mother, immediately collapsed, looking at Li Sheng in disbelief and demanding confirmation.
"Is Fu Nian dead?"
Li Sheng suppressed his grief and helped his mother-in-law up.
"Leukemia. We treated it for a long time, but it still didn't work. Fu Nian kept telling me not to tell you, because she didn't want you to worry."
My father-in-law is quite old and has only cried a handful of times, but this time he cried like a child.
