Early in the morning, Zhao Guozhong and Zhao Zhe went to check out the guesthouse, while Zhao Xiaoyue went to Uncle Pu's place to bring some daily necessities for the old man.
The streets were bustling with people, most of whom were there for the market.
Although Lufeng Town is called a "town," it is actually no smaller than a typical city, and it is indeed expected to develop into a third-tier city in a decade or so. Furthermore, a tributary of the Jiangnan River—the Sanjiangliu River—flows alongside the town.
The Sanjiangliu River flows past a highway to Lufeng Town Railway Station, which has been the most important supply station connecting the south and north since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
After the reforms, there were many more people coming and going to do business, so there were many small guesthouses, but the environment was not very good. However, there were not many hotels. Zhao Xiaoyue saw this and that's why she started a homestay.
This place used to be a winery, but it went bankrupt and no one cared about it for a long time. Zhao Xiaoyue used the 30,000 yuan to buy and repackage it, and it became very popular!
Uncle Li saw the old lady and Zhao Xiaoyue talking behind the counter of this guesthouse when he went to the market.
Zhao Xiaoyue rarely goes to guesthouses. The only time Li Erjiu saw her was when they encountered a difficult guest, and Zhao Xiaoyue and the old lady went to deal with it together.
At first, I couldn't believe that the energetic old lady was my mother. I rubbed my eyes and then saw the old woman and the child go upstairs. I threw down the carrying pole and tried to chase after them, but the security guard at the door pushed me out.
After being threatened by Uncle Li, Uncle Li Er behaved himself for a long time.
Several times, it was Li Da Jiu's eldest son who went to find Li Er Jiu.
Uncle Li couldn't say anything, he only knew that the two of them were doing some kind of business, and they were always acting mysteriously. When asked, his son wouldn't tell him.
Now that I see my parents eating and drinking well, how can I not tell my two sons?
Today is also a big market day, and people from almost every mile around will come to the market.
Uncle Li was playing cards with some people in Jiaozigou when he was tricked into losing his underwear!
He tiptoed home, getting angrier the more he thought about it, so he immediately went to find Uncle Li and the others with his hands in his pockets.
Uncle Li had just returned from Widow Liu's house, humming an off-key song as he walked into the house. When he saw his second brother, his face instantly darkened.
It's fortunate that Dou Fenqin wasn't here today, otherwise it would have been another "Who knows?"
This was exactly what Uncle Li was thinking.
Uncle Li slammed the belt he was holding onto the table, and the cheap metal head made a "clang" sound.
Uncle Li also jumped in surprise.
Uncle Li sat down and poured himself some water.
What are you doing here?
Uncle Li answered in a tearful voice, "Brother, my dear brother, what can I do? I'm asking you, do you know that Mom has gone to live a better life with my sister?"
Uncle Li glanced at him sideways and sneered, "Where did you hear that from?"
“I saw it with my own eyes,” Uncle Li said anxiously, gesturing as he spoke, “That guy, putting everything else aside, I saw Mom wearing a huge gold bracelet!”
Thinking back to the beating he received that day, Uncle Li silently lit a cigarette, feeling quite calm.
At that moment, someone outside the window had incredibly bright eyes.
“That’s none of our business,” Uncle Li said casually, exhaling a smoke ring.
To be honest, the smoke rings are pretty cool!
"How can it be unrelated? We are her sons!"
Uncle Li remained unmoved and continued blowing smoke rings.
“Brother, there are very few examples throughout history of mothers living with their married daughters, and it doesn’t make sense. Besides, Zhao Guozhong’s good life today is all thanks to our mother, so why should he get to live like this?”
Uncle Li looked at his younger brother, who was jumping around wildly, and said coldly, "Get out!"
Uncle Li was immediately speechless.
Uncle Li looked at Uncle Li Er, who kept opening his mouth.
This is nothing more than a true death stare!
They only looked away after he slunk out of his house.
He scoffed inwardly, "What a fool!"
Uncle Li walked angrily, cursing under his breath, when he suddenly heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw his eldest nephew.
"Hey, Jiaqing, what's up? Is it possible to withdraw our investment now?"
Li Jiaqing, the eldest son of Li Dajiu.
He was described by the "intelligence personnel" at the village entrance as a typical unemployed vagrant and local thug!
He was fashionably dressed, over 1.7 meters tall, and looked very clever, somewhat like the cunning demon from Journey to the West.
Hearing Uncle Li's question, he immediately put on a smile and put his arm around his shoulder like a good brother. "No, investments don't happen that quickly. Be patient. Uncle, come on, it's my treat, let's have a couple of drinks!"
Then, after a few drinks, Uncle Li vomited up everything about his encounter with Zhao Xiaoyue and the old lady.
Li Jiaqing's eyes were full of calculation. He said that his grandmother had not been seen for two years, and when he asked the old man, he was not allowed to go and look for her.
Oh, so that's how it happened! They took all the Li family's money to their maternal family!
He calls himself a little devil; his dad is such a coward.
Little did they know that the whole family's little tails were being held in someone else's hands!
"Yes, Second Uncle, let's go pick up the old lady together tomorrow, so that people won't talk about us."
"Okay, we'll go pick them up." He was slurring his words.
"Come on, drink up! Second Uncle!"
The uncle and nephew were drinking and exchanging toasts, while the person enslaved by Master Pu was completely unaware that something disgusting was rushing toward her.
He was using a pair of scissors to trim Pu Liuye's hair, which was like weeds.
"Hey, Sixth Grandpa, you weren't like this before. You were cuter when a piece of candy could make you happy."
Master Pu didn't even glance at her, continuing to look ahead.
The only sound in the courtyard was the "snip-snip" of scissors.
An hour later, Master Pu's hair was a little more tidy.
Why didn't Zhao Zhe come?
Zhao Xiaoyue looked listless. "That kid went to a guesthouse with my dad."
Looking at his young apprentice, whose eyes were full of resentment, a smile appeared in Master Pu's eyes. "Still being dramatic, how old are you?"
Zhao Xiaoyue immediately retorted, "Wrong! I'm almost ten years old, hmph!"
Reaching the only small house, Zhao Xiaoyue put down her belongings. "Master, I'm transferring to a junior high school in Haishi for the second half of the year. Will you come with me?"
Then, staring at Master Pu's calm, expressionless face, Zhao Xiaoyue said, "Okay, you go over too! I understand!"
Master Pu: "Hmm, good to know!"
Zhao Xiaoyue replied playfully, "Then I'll take my leave first, you can rest!"
He even performed a Qing Dynasty-style bow before leaving.
It was still early, so she went to find that kid Zhao Zhe. Ever since he came to live with her parents, he'd been fawning over her all day, making her feel like a useless piece of trash.
Zhao Zhe, who's always been so eager to curry favor, is at it again, and has gained a number of loyal fans, including Zhao Guozhong. The entire lobby is practically overflowing with people.
They all had starry eyes!
Zhao Xiaoyue skipped into the lobby, and upon seeing the scene, she frowned. "Are these people crazy?"
"Ahem, hmm!"
Nobody paid any attention to her!
Holy crap!
What's going on?
Quickly push your way through the crowd to see which important figure it is.
Then I heard the sound of "clack-clack-clack" as keyboards were being typed!
grass!
We can't keep this brat Zhao Zhe anymore, he's practically giving us no way to live!
Ms. Li must be incredibly proud again!
