They are not familiar with each other yet, so there are some things that cannot be said too much.

He Mingliang shook his head and said, "Let's take it one step at a time."

Li Yutong nodded, took the bicycle, and left with Shen Jiaze.

After leaving the family compound, He Zixuan couldn't help but ask, "We just met for the first time, why are you so nice to him?"

"Is there?" Li Yutong asked in confusion.

"Yes, you were speaking for him just now. Didn't you see how fierce his uncle was? It was a good thing he didn't pounce on you and hit you." He Zixuan said.

Li Yutong didn't know what to say: "Maybe, I think we get along well, and we both have some excellent relatives around us."

After saying this, Shen Jiaze looked at her and remained silent.

He Zixuan was persuaded: "Is that so."

He Zixuan was fooled in this way. Li Yutong knew that it was too early to recruit He Mingliang to join the group as they were still students.

This is what I thought. The small county town that has not yet been upgraded from a county to a city is only this big. When He Mingliang and a group of young men came to eat barbecue and rice, they met Li Yutong.

He Mingliang was stunned: "Is this your store?"

Li Yutong nodded: "Yes, whatever you eat, I'll give you some more rice and make sure you're full."

"Wow, brother, this is your girlfriend." A yellow-headed guy next to him started to make a noise.

He Mingliang's expression changed: "Shut up, he is studying in the county's No. 1 high school, what does it have to do with me?"

He knew that he was an uneducated high school hooligans, while others were preparing for college entrance exams, and if they had a good relationship with him, they would gossip about this girl.

Li Yutong just smiled and waited until they finished ordering before asking the kitchen to prepare.

Chen Xiaoying saw this and quietly asked Li Yutong in the kitchen, "Is this someone you know?"

Li Yutong nodded: "He's someone I knew before. Even though he didn't study hard, he's actually a reliable person."

When Chen Xiaoying heard her say that they knew each other before, she knew it and didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, he talked about something else: "Your second uncle's salary has been remitted, but I still haven't seen your third uncle's salary."

Li Yutong knew that her third uncle Li Hongqiang would not hand over his salary to his family on a regular basis. His wife and children were taken care of by their own mother, and he would keep the money for playing cards. He also wanted to save some money and help his elder sister Li Hongyan.

"Grandma, don't think about these unhappy things. Third Uncle is already over 30 years old. You can't take care of him for his whole life. Just take good care of Jiejie."

Now Jiejie is in the third grade at Jiefang Primary School in the county. She is picked up and dropped off by her third aunt every morning and evening. She helps out in the store during normal times. Her third aunt pays her a salary of 220 yuan a month, which is already a high salary among waitresses.

"I know." Chen Xiaoying said expressionlessly, "Your eldest cousin is still short of 20,000 yuan to get married. I wonder what solution your eldest aunt has come up with."

Li Yutong didn't say anything.

Her grandmother couldn't bear to see her third uncle suffer in the future, nor could she bear to see her eldest aunt suffer, because she was her biological mother.

But she didn't care. The little family feeling she had for her Third Uncle had disappeared when he picked up the fruit knife in his previous life.

My eldest aunt is naturally cold-hearted, selfish, and only cares about her own comfort. A person like her will never suffer any loss no matter what happens in society.

What's more, the meal was ready, and Li Yutong helped to serve it up.

The barbecue rice and side dishes are all prepared in advance, and the barbecue is marinated in advance. It is the only one in the county.

In just a short while, the dozen or so tables outside were almost full.

Li Yutong was busy all the time.

I didn't notice when He Mingliang and his gang left. After lunch time, a man suddenly came into the store.

"Aunt?" Li Yutong was surprised.

I just mentioned her aunt Li Hongyan, and now she is here.

Since this store opened, my aunt has only come here once.

"Where's your grandma?" Li Hongyan's face was full of smiles, as if she had encountered something good and was in a good mood to share.

"What's the matter?" Chen Xiaoying heard it in the kitchen and came out to ask.

Li Hongyan then smiled and said to Chen Xiaoying, "Mom, the eighth day of next month is the day Pengfei will make his marriage proposal. Remember to go. It's at the Yingbin Restaurant in the county town."

"Yingbin Restaurant? The consumption there is quite high. Do you have money?" Chen Xiaoying asked curiously.

Li Hongyan looked down on me and said, "Mom, don't worry about it. You can just go there when the time comes."

Having said this, she looked around the restaurant and wanted to say something, but she seemed to know that no matter what she said, she would not achieve her goal in front of the grandparents and grandchildren, so she gave up.

"Mom, I'm leaving now."

After Li Hongyan left, Chen Xiaoying and Li Yutong, the grandparents and grandchildren, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Grandma, I always feel like something has happened." Li Yutong said.

Chen Xiaoying was also uneasy: "What do you think it is? I can't think of it."

Li Yutong had no idea now: "I don't know either. How about you call my second uncle and ask him?"

My eldest aunt is a worker in the village. She doesn’t know any rich people, and her source of income has always been from her parents and brothers on her mother’s side.

When Chen Xiaoying heard this, she hurried out to find a small shop that specialized in making long-distance calls.

When she asked, her uncle found out he didn't know anything at all.

"No, I just asked the third brother, and he also said that he didn't give money to my eldest sister." said Li Hongjian.

The third brother, Li Hongqiang, is stupid and stubborn. He always thinks he is right and will never lie. If he says he didn't give any money, then he definitely didn't give it.

When Chen Xiaoying came back, she said no.

Li Yutong could only give up: "Grandma, forget about it, let's take care of our own business first."

Chen Xiaoying could only give up. She went to clean up a table near the door. Just as she picked up the plate, she saw a person standing outside the glass at the door. It was He Mingliang.

Why is he here?

He Mingliang saw that Li Yutong had noticed her, glanced at her, and then stood back obediently.

Li Yutong walked out: "He Mingliang, do you have something to talk to me about?"

He Mingliang nodded and said to her, "You were right about the last time. My uncle has sent three children to my house, two boys and one girl. The oldest is thirteen years old, the youngest is twenty years old, and the youngest is only two years old."

"Including my grandmother, there are four people in total. They ask my mother to cook for them every day. The third child is still crying and has not been weaned. Sometimes my aunt comes and simply stays, saying that the child will cry at night."

Li Yutong was a little surprised that He Mingliang told her so much.

Facing her surprised look, He Mingliang felt a little embarrassed and whispered, "My mother married from another place and has no relatives here. She is introverted and has few friends. My grandma has always bullied her like this and she has no way to stop it."

He Mingliang is looking for her to talk to, and also wants to ask her for help?

Li Yutong thought for a moment: "Why would you believe me?"

"I..." He Mingliang was silent for a while before saying, "I'm surrounded by a bunch of bad friends. They're good for eating, drinking and having fun, but when something really happens, few of them can help. They only come up with bad ideas like pretending to be a ghost to scare people away, which can't fool anyone at all."

"I really don't have anyone to ask, so I want to ask you if you have any solution?"
