Li Yang just glanced at him, then squatted down to pick up his clothes, completely ignoring him.
"I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?" The boy, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, was at the age of arrogance. Seeing that Li Yang ignored him, Li Yaozu walked over and slapped the clothes out of her hand, and pushed her without thinking.
Li Yang was caught off guard and was pushed by Li Yaozu, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground.
Her face darkened as she stared at him coldly, "Go wherever it's cooler. If you make trouble again, I won't be polite."
Li Yaozu had never seen such a strong Li Yang before. Thinking back to the time she scolded him last night, he became angry.
"I want to see why you're being so rude. You think I won't dare do anything to you just because you're with Ji Huaizhi, right?" He raised his foot and stepped on the clothes on the ground. "I told you to pick them up, I told you to pick them up! You... Ouch!"
Li Yang suddenly jumped up from the ground and slammed into his waist, knocking him to the ground. He also kicked his calf: "I said, don't mess with me."
Li Yaozu was stunned by Li Yang's beating. After a moment's silence, he wailed, "Mom, come quickly! This bitch actually dared to hit me!"
Growing up, he'd always been the boss of the family. Li Yang had to give in to anyone he fancied, let alone hit him. Li Yang's behavior today was a bolt from the blue. It seemed like Feng Mei was really saying it, that Li Yang had been possessed by a demon, and for the sake of a man, she'd even turned her back on her family.
Listening to Li Yaozu's dirty talk, Li Yang couldn't help but kick him twice more: "Try and see if you don't speak human language again!"
Lai Yaozu dared to scold her like this in front of her. One can imagine how Feng Mei taught him in normal times. But now she has seen the reality clearly and will no longer be sad about these bad people and bad things.
Feng Mei was probably going to get help right now, so how could she have the time to care about Li Yaozu? So, not giving him a few more kicks was a relief.
As Li Yang expected, Li Yaozu cried for a while, and when no one paid any attention to him, he got up in frustration. He patted his pants and said angrily, "Marry a jerk like Ji Huaizhi, and you'll suffer!"
Li Yang glared at him: "That's better than having your blood sucked by a bunch of leeches!"
"You..." Li Yaozu stuttered in anger, then thought of something and grinned, "How dare you call us leeches? Just wait, Mom's already gone to find milk, let's see what you can do then!"
After saying that, he kicked the clothes on the ground in anger, slammed the yard door loudly, and went out.
After taking a few steps, he returned and said, "I'm warning you, everything in the house is mine. If you dare to take more than one thing, I'll make you pay."
This time, Li Yang didn't even have the desire to argue with him.
She would not touch anything in this house, because she knew very well that they were like winding vines. As long as they got any chance, they would cling to you at all costs until they sucked out every last bit of your nutrients.
She looked down at the clothes on the ground. They were all clothes she had worn for many years. They were faded, wrinkled, and patched. They didn't look like clothes a girl of her age would wear. They were just like her heart, patched and mended, with the wind blowing in. But the person who hurt her was only her from beginning to end.
"Don't pick it up." Suddenly, a pair of big hands with distinct joints grabbed her wrist.
Li Yang looked up in a daze and met Ji Huaizhi's eyes.
His brows were furrowed, his lips were slightly pursed, there was anger and also... heartache. This was the first time she saw such an expression on his face.
"You..." Li Yang just opened her mouth and tears as big as beans rolled down and hit the back of Ji Huaizhi's hand.
She quickly turned her head and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand.
I was clearly mentally prepared and told myself not to care, but why did I suddenly feel wronged when I saw Ji Huaizhi?
But the more she wiped, the more she couldn't stop her tears, and they kept falling.
Li Yang didn't dare to look up. He lowered his head to pick up the clothes and choked out a sob, saying, "These clothes can all be worn. I just need to wash them when I get home."
She heard a faint sigh above her head, and her trembling hand was grasped again and quickly released: "Don't pick it up." He pulled her up, "I will give you double what this family lacks from you."
After hearing Ji Huaizhi's words, Li Yang felt that the missing part in his chest was complete again.
Without thinking, she asked, "Why?"
They are just partners, so why is he so nice to her?
I only heard him say: "Just consider it my way of repaying a favor."
Hearing this, Li Yang's pupils suddenly widened.
Still the same reason!
She opened her mouth to ask again, but Ji Huaizhi had already bent down to pick up the clothes. Facing Li Yang's puzzled gaze, Ji Huaizhi explained, "Even if you don't want them anymore, they can't be wasted."
Li Yang suddenly felt that Ji Huaizhi seemed to know Feng Mei very well.
When Feng Mei comes back and sees that she didn't take her clothes with her, she might use her clothes to disgust her.
"Yeah." Li Yang also picked up the clothes.
The two of them went out one after the other, holding their clothes. Li Yang, who was walking in front, did not notice that Ji Huaizhi put the left hand that had shed her tears behind his back.
*
Ji Huaizhi lived in a small rented courtyard in the inner alley of the hunting village. It was about ten square meters in size, with a main room, an inner room, and a small kitchen built on the side. That was all he had.
The furnishings in the room were also very simple, with a square table, a few stools, and a wooden cabinet against the wall. It was... very simple.
Li Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seemed that Ji Huaizhi was really poor.
She thought of the two-dollar breakfast they had that morning, and felt more and more guilty. The boss was indeed a very good person. He treated her to breakfast even though he had no money left.
Ji Huaizhi scratched his hair: "Well...I'm usually alone, so I'm used to a simple life. If there's anything missing at home, just buy it for me."
After saying that, he took money out of his pocket.
Under Li Yang's gaze, Ji Huaizhi took out seven or eight RMB notes from his left trouser pocket, and then took out two from his right trouser pocket. He then touched his shirt pocket and a dime fell at the feet of the two men.
Ji Huaizhi: "..."
Li Yang: As expected...very poor.
