After Li Jin finished explaining the whole story to Ma Jinfu, he sighed and said, "Brother Jinfu, if we accept this as a mistake, other brigades will think that we people from Lijiapo are easy targets, and they'll start blaming us for everything!"
After hearing the whole story, Ma Jinfu clicked his tongue twice, feeling a pain in his teeth.
Why is this guy so impulsive!
In the past, he would have just brushed it off with a few words, but now, he still planned to use his old face to buy some cheap oil from Li Jin!
Thinking of this, Ma Jinfu slammed his fist on the table, "This Jinyou is absolutely foolish!"
As he spoke, he asked his youngest son to call Ma Jinyou to his house.
Ma Jinfu poured water for Li Jin and the others, and then tried to get information out of Li Jin in a friendly manner, praising him for being young and promising.
Isn't he young and promising? The other person is almost twenty years younger than him!
A dozen minutes later, the sound of a group of people making a fuss came from the courtyard.
Ma Jinyou had a stern face, followed by his four sons who were carrying weapons.
As soon as he entered the room, without even looking at Li Jin and the others, he asked Ma Jinfu in a gruff voice, "Brother, why did you call me over?"
Ma Jinfu pulled Ma Jinyou to sit down on the stool next to Li Jin. "Jinyou, did you go to Lijiapo today?"
"Yes! I even smashed up Guo Daming's house! So what!"
Ma Jinyou said aggressively, his eyes fixed on Guo Daming.
Even Guo Daming, with his usually good temper, was starting to lose his temper. He stepped forward and said, "Uncle Ma, what did I do? You smashed up my house!"
Ma Jinyou snorted, turned his head away, and ignored him.
Ma Jinyou's eldest son chimed in, "What did you do? You fucking bullied my sister! And you dare come to our village? You just wait, I'll break your legs!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the brothers crowded around Guo Daming.
"Stop right there!" Ma Jinfu's smile faltered. "Did Fengxia explain herself? Guo Daming just got home today, and they only exchanged one sentence! What are you bullying him for!"
Ma Jinyou's eldest son was a little dumbfounded.
As soon as Fengxia got home, she started crying and wouldn't say a word. Her mother was so anxious that she kept pacing around, muttering, "Didn't she go to Daming's house? What happened?"
He implicitly admitted that Guo Daming had taken liberties with his sister!
This...this was smashed in the wrong place?
When Ma Jinyou saw his eldest son's eyes darting around, he quickly told his younger son to go home and call Fengxia over to explain the situation!
Because the two villages are close to each other, Ma Fengxia has liked Guo Daming since she was a child, and her heart has fallen for him.
Who would have thought that Guo Daming would look down on her? But feelings can't be forced.
When Ma Fengxia heard that her brothers had smashed up Guo Daming's house, she was immediately stunned.
However, she wasn't the kind of woman who would pester others or twist the truth.
As soon as Ma Fengxia arrived at Ma Jinfu's house, she looked around at everyone and said confidently, "Father, Uncle, Guo Daming didn't bully me, you smashed the wrong things!"
"Guo Daming, I used to like you, but not anymore! I'm sure I'll find someone better than you to marry in the future!"
Upon hearing his beloved daughter's powerful words, Ma Jinyou was the first to applaud her!
"My daughter is right! She can take things in stride and let them go easily. She truly is my daughter, Ma Jinyou!"
Ma Jinyou was a straightforward man. He apologized on the spot with his four sons and carried a large pot back to Guo Daming's house with great fanfare.
The misunderstanding was over, and Guo Daming took the cash compensation that the Ma family insisted on giving him and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy daily necessities.
Li Jin sighed with a laugh, "This Ma Jinyou really spoils his daughter rotten!"
Li Xiangdong said meaningfully, "This is a real father! As the saying goes, concern makes one confused. When a father sees that his daughter might be bullied, he won't think things through or weigh the pros and cons! He'll only think, 'I want to kill the bastard who bullied my daughter!'"
Upon hearing this, Li Jin felt a sudden tremor in his heart, as if struck by lightning. He murmured to himself, "Is that so?"
Li Xiangdong scoffed inwardly at the sight of his stunned expression!
According to his observation, even though his father is over forty years old and the biological father of nine children, his father probably doesn't know what a father is!
His father didn't value his daughter because once she got married, she wouldn't be able to support him in his old age.
His father valued his son because his son could carry on the family line and take care of him in his old age!
More importantly, a son can bring him social status. After all, in rural areas, families without sons are called "extinct families"!
So, did his father truly love Li Weijun, or did he simply love the title of his eldest son and grandson?
His father doesn't understand!
Those who don't understand that what parents should love is each and every one of their children, not the benefits they can bring to themselves!
However, the Ma family is quite interesting!
...
For the next period of time, apart from waiting for Luo Yonggang to arrive, Li Xiangdong had nothing to do. He went to Quanshui Village to see Grandma Jiang almost every day.
Unfortunately, he didn't understand many of the traditional characters and allusions in "Jinshi Lu," so he had to ask his teacher for help.
After more than ten days, although Li Xiangdong hadn't memorized everything, he had remembered most of it. He was still a little uneasy, wondering if his master would think he was stupid!
After all, Master could memorize it perfectly in just a few days!
Grandma Jiang was pleasantly surprised. When she mentioned a one-month period last time, it was just a casual remark.
How could an ordinary person memorize all four volumes of "Jinshi Lu" in just one month?
Unexpectedly, Li Xiangdong gave her a real surprise!
“Master, I’m thinking of putting your house up before the autumn harvest! I’ve already arranged for the bricks, tiles, beams, and purlins. As for the construction team, Uncle Chang from our brigade will lead the work.”
Li Xiangdong massaged Grandma Jiang's shoulders, saying, "Please choose an auspicious day!"
Grandma Jiang squinted, enjoying the warm sunlight streaming through the window. "Alright, I'll take a look at 'The Jade Box' later."
"Master, where did you hide all these feudal dregs? How did you manage to hide them from those who were trying to destroy the Four Olds?"
Li Xiangdong was extremely curious.
"Head east. A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Remember that. Always leave yourself a wide and spacious way out!"
"How should we keep it?"
"Think for yourself!"
"I……"
Li Xiangdong looked at his unconventional master and shrugged helplessly, "Alright!"
These days, apart from Li Xiangdong not noticing much, the other women and children all felt that Li Jin was acting strangely.
This is so unusual!
He bought each of Li Ying, Li Zhen, Li Ping, Li Jiabao, and Li Yan a new set of Dacron clothes and a pair of beautiful plastic sandals.
He even bought notebooks and pens for Li Zhen and asked his old comrade-in-arms to find high school textbooks and review materials.
Li Jin even bought clothes and shoes and sent them to his eldest sister, who was married in Yongxing.
