Li Hongwei was going to farm in the village. If Li Pingwang was chased for debt by loan sharks, he would immediately take the person to the home of his eldest son Li Hongwei and let Li Hongwei handle the matter.

Today, Li Hongwei and his wife were not at home, so he brought them to the restaurant again.

No matter what, he naturally pushed the responsibility that should have belonged to him to others, and he just watched from the side and wished he could help others.

"Well, let's talk about it when the time comes." Li Hongwei sighed. He had no other choice.

Liu Lanxiang looked worried.

Seeing her parents worried, Li Yutong couldn't help feeling bad, and was especially worried that they would be upset: "Dad, Mom, don't worry either. No one's life is smooth sailing. There will always be bumps and bruises. Anyway, they won't kill or burn anything, so their safety is guaranteed."

"You should work and eat. Don't get sick because of this. My grandfather and my aunt are still fine."

Li Hongwei and Liu Lanxiang thought about it and realized that this was exactly the truth.

"Okay, we got it."

The situation finally calmed down today after the two of them went back.

They have thought it through completely and are no longer afraid.

After old man Li Pingwang returned, he thought about it and felt that he could not handle this matter alone.

Li Hongwei didn't want to buy a house, and he had no choice. His old wife Chen Xiaoying ran a restaurant. She had money, but she just wouldn't give him anything. She was desperate and wanted to divorce him. What could he do?

The next morning, he woke up at daybreak. Without even having time to prepare breakfast, he rode his broken 28-inch bicycle to Zhaojia Village.

Li Hongyan was cooking early in the morning.

While adding firewood to the stove, I was thinking, have you really let go of Pengfei's wife?

I've been dating a girl for over a year. She looks honest, but I didn't expect her to be a snob. When she heard that the betrothal gift her family gave her was borrowed, she turned hostile on the spot.

Who knows which unlucky family will marry her in the future.

However, without Wang Jingjing, Pengfei was reluctant to go home for several days and no one knew where he went to play.

She couldn't help but ask Zhao Faliang, "Faliang, what do you think we should do about Pengfei? We finally got the wife, but now she's gone."

Zhao Faliang was sweeping the yard nearby. It was a cold day and there was not much work to do in the fields. He looked at her and said, "What plans can I make? No matter what plans I make, I need money first."

Li Hongyan said unhappily: "Money, I know the most important thing is money, you don't have to worry about money, just tell me what your plan is."

Zhao Faliang sneered in his heart. She was the head of his family, and even he himself didn't know how much money the family had.

"What else can I plan? I can't get married for the time being, so I'll just build the two northern rooms first. At least I have a house, and it will be easier to find a wife in the future."

Li Hongyan had already prepared for this: "I have already ordered the bricks, but I don't know when to build it."

Zhao Faliang glanced at her and said, "We'll have to wait until the weather warms up."

Li Hongyan sighed again. Of course she knew this, but she was feeling uneasy, so she said a few words to him.

"By the way, what day is it today?"

She felt that she was getting more and more powerful, and the feeling of uneasiness in her heart had only occurred in the past few days. Was it because the eldest son's wife had boasted and made people laugh at her? Or was it because there were too many places to spend money at home and she was upset?

still……

She wasn't done guessing yet.

Zhao Faliang said, "Today is the 7th."

"No. 7?" Li Hongyan's expression suddenly changed: "Wasn't yesterday the day when those loan sharks came to collect debts?"

Zhao Faliang had a cold expression on his face and said nothing.

The pot was steaming and the rice was cooked, but Li Hongyan no longer cared about it.

Zhao Faliang went over to lift the lid of the pot, fearing that the millet porridge would spill out. At this moment, the sound of a bicycle arrived at his doorstep.

"Who is it, so early in the morning?" Li Hongyan stretched her neck to take a look.

Zhao Faliang also went to see, and saw his father-in-law Li Pingwang pushing open the gate and walking in.

Li Hongyan was still nervous just now, but when she saw that it was her father, she stood up and asked, "Dad, why are you here?"

She was very thoughtful and couldn't help asking, "Is everything ok?"

It would have been fine if she hadn't asked. As soon as she asked, Li Pingwang burst into tears and cried in front of his son-in-law. He felt so embarrassed, but he couldn't help it: "Hongyan, those loan sharks asked me for the debt yesterday. I was almost scared to death."

"Hongyan, tell me, how should we deal with this matter?"

If I had known these debt collectors were so powerful, I would not have borrowed money from them no matter what.

Upon hearing this, Li Hongyan asked hurriedly, "Didn't you take people to my mom's small restaurant to collect the debt? My mom is rich. She has been running both the fried skewers shop and the small restaurant for two or three years. She never gave you a dime of the money she earned. You should go and ask her for money."

"Dad, please sit down." Zhao Faliang pulled a chair for Li Pingwang to sit down.

Li Pingwang responded with an "oh" and then sat down. "It's no use. Your mother said that she won't give you a penny back. If I bring people to ask her for money again, she will divorce me."

At this point, he felt sad and wiped away another tear: "Hongyan, how come your mother has become this kind of person? She has no humanity at all and doesn't even care about her own daughter."

Li Hongyan didn't take her mother Chen Xiaoying's words seriously at all: "Divorce? You must be kidding. How dare she do that? She's already old. Isn't she afraid of being laughed at?"

"Anyway, that's what she said. Hongyan, tell me what we should do." His eldest daughter has always been his backbone. No matter what happens at home, he can always find a solution by finding her.

But he had never carefully distinguished whether the solution was good or bad.

For example, what the third brother Li Hongqiang said at the beginning, how come he didn’t have a healthy and hardworking wife?

He was the first one to complain to Li Hongyan, saying that this daughter-in-law-to-be was too spendthrift. Even before she got married, she wanted to go shopping in the county town every day, buying clothes and shoes.

Li Hongyan started to act arrogantly and said something that is still ridiculed today.

"How hard can it be to find a wife in the village? Just whip and call up a bunch of them."

Now her eldest son is getting married, and some people are laughing at her.

"Hongyan, didn't you say at that time that it was easy to find a daughter-in-law? Just whip the whip and call up a group of people, and you can grab a handful at will. Then where is your daughter-in-law? Why haven't you found her yet?"

Li Hongyan was so angry that her heart ached.

"Divorce is impossible. My mother must just be trying to scare you." Zhao Faliang also felt that it was impossible and couldn't help but say something.

He usually doesn't care about his wife's family affairs. His wife is a powerful person. She only takes advantage of her family and has never suffered any loss.

There's no need for him to meddle in other people's business.

Li Hongyan kept her head down and said nothing.

Divorce, it’s a pity that someone of her mother’s age can say such things.

Seeing that his daughter stopped talking, Li Pingwang felt more uneasy. He looked at her eagerly, and then at his son-in-law Zhao Faliang.

Zhao Faliang felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, so he might as well hide in the house and pretend not to be at home.

"Hongyan, Dad is waiting for you, please say something."
