good?
Wang Dahua was furious when she heard this.
What's so great about that little bastard!
So what if he knows how to grow mushrooms and is a bit quick-witted?
Where would be better?
He's not even a fraction as good as his son, Tiger!
The sound of voices came from outside the door again; it must be the village women washing clothes and chatting in the stream in front of the door!
Wang Dahua was furious, but she couldn't just rush out and interrupt. She wanted to go back to her room, but she really wanted to hear what the villagers were saying, so she simply stood in the yard.
The women outside were still chatting.
"Actually, everyone says that Zhou Xiaoye is just a young girl and not good enough for Wei Dong, but I think the two of them are quite a good match."
“Exactly. Although Zhou Xiaoye is young, she is obedient and sensible. My son told me that Zhou Xiaoye has the best grades in her class. How come she is not good enough for Weidong?”
"That girl is pretty too. Although she hasn't fully grown up yet and is a bit less attractive than Liu Xiaohong, her big, watery eyes tell you that she'll be quite good-looking once she's fully grown up."
"I think so too. Wei Dong is good-looking and capable. What's that called again?"
"A perfect match?"
"Yes, they are a perfect match!"
As the two were talking, a third voice chimed in: "Actually, that Liu family girl just has a bad reputation, but her looks and figure are undeniable. If you ask me, with Wei Dong's abilities, marrying Zhou Xiaoye and having a mistress isn't such a big deal!"
The three of them got more and more excited as they talked, praising Li Weidong to the skies.
Wang Dahua grew increasingly angry as she listened, and just as she was about to speak, Hu Zi suddenly rushed out of the house.
He kicked the chicken coop and cursed, "Squeak, squawk, squawk! What else can you do all day long besides squawk?"
"You can't even lay an egg properly, all you do is gossip. Be careful, or I'll stew you all in one pot and eat you!"
Several chickens were so frightened that they flew around in all directions, leaving the yard, which had just been swept clean, covered in chicken droppings and feathers again.
Wang Dahua also got angry, picked up a broom and started chasing the chickens: "You damned hens, all you do all day is eat, drink and wait to die, you do nothing! I'll beat you to death!"
The mother and son were making veiled insults in the yard, and the chatter outside instantly stopped.
One of the women gestured toward the yard with her chin and said in a low voice, "We were having such a good time that we forgot about this."
"This family can't stand to see the Wei family doing well. Let's find another place to talk!"
The other two nodded repeatedly and sped up their laundry.
Inside the courtyard.
Wang Dahua chased the chickens for a while, and was so tired that she could hardly breathe. She leaned on the broom and gasped for air.
Tiger's face turned ashen, and his eyes were red.
The mother and son exchanged a glance, both seeing deep hatred in each other's eyes.
"Fine, I don't care anymore!"
Wang Dahua waved her hand and said, "Just thinking about how well his family is doing makes me feel uneasy."
"You should try to make things difficult for his family!"
After saying that, he added, "Just don't cause any deaths, and don't get yourself involved."
Tiger had wanted to deal with Li Weidong for a long time, but he didn't dare to do anything reckless because Wang Dahua kept him in check.
Now that he had received Wang Dahua's assurance, he immediately laughed: "Mom, just you wait! I won't let him get away with this!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
The village store at the entrance.
Tiger gave the shopkeeper fifty cents and told him to go outside and sit for a while before dialing a number.
The phone rang for a long time before being answered. A sinister voice came from the other end: "Who is it?"
"Brother Big Intestine, it's me!"
Tiger's voice immediately became obsequious: "I have a favor I'd like you to do for me. Of course, I won't let you do it for nothing. After it's done, I'll give you a thousand yuan, how about that?"
Upon hearing about money, the guy with the large intestine became interested: "Tell me."
...
Xiaoyan Restaurant.
Li Weidong got up early and, at Shen Xiaoyan's suggestion, went to the barbershop to get his hair done, had mousse applied, and changed his clothes. He was nervously waiting for Xing Guodong's car to arrive!
Zhang Bin laughed and said, "Wei Dong, we've known each other for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen you dressed so formally!"
Shen Xiaoyan also laughed and said, "Don't say that, our Weidong was already good-looking, but after dressing up, he's even more handsome. If he went out, I don't know how many young ladies and wives he would charm!"
Li Weidong blushed as the two teased him, but he wasn't so nervous anymore.
"It's just an engagement, not a wedding, so what's there to be nervous about?"
Shen Xiaoyan straightened Li Weidong's collar, patted his shoulder and said, "With such a talented person like you, and since it was agreed beforehand, the Zhou family definitely won't make things difficult for you. Don't worry."
Just then, the sound of a car came from outside the door.
Li Weidong suddenly stood up: "They're here!"
Xing Guodong's car has arrived, so it's time to load the things onto the car and prepare to go back to the village to propose marriage.
Unexpectedly, it was Ji Dahai who walked in.
"Boss Ji?"
Shen Xiaoyan asked with some confusion, "What brings you here?"
Ji Dahai chuckled and said, "Even if there's no wind, can't I come and sit at your restaurant? Your Xiaoyan Restaurant has a great reputation!"
Shen Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Sure, you're welcome to come anytime, Mr. Ji!"
After chatting and laughing for a while, Ji Dahai said, "But I didn't come here today to see you."
He looked at Li Weidong and said, "I'm here to see my brother Weidong!"
Li Weidong was somewhat puzzled: "Looking for me?"
"you do not say!"
Ji Dahai walked up to him, his face full of gratitude: "Last time I heard you were hoarding wine, I made a fortune, all thanks to you!"
"That's why I made a special trip today to thank my great benefactor!"
Although he is not short of money, who would complain about not having enough money?
The profit from this round of stockpiling liquor is equivalent to his restaurant's entire year's revenue.
This is all thanks to Li Weidong!
Li Weidong waved his hand dismissively: "I just mentioned it casually, it's nothing, don't take it to heart."
"Yes, yes, your casual remark is worth more than my annual income!"
As Ji Dahai spoke, he took a box from his subordinate.
"I'm the kind of person who likes to do practical things and doesn't like to talk empty words."
He handed the box to Li Weidong: "This is a small token of my gratitude, please accept it!"
Li Weidong was taken aback. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist Ji Dahai's insistence, so he had no choice but to accept it.
But when he opened the box, he was startled and quickly pushed it back.
"No, no, this is too valuable, I can't accept it! You should take it back!"
Shen Xiaoyan and Zhang Bin, out of curiosity, peeked over to take a look.
When they saw what was inside, they gasped in shock.
It's a brand new mobile phone!!!
