The black car spun around and then flipped over. Ji Xiao screamed in fear...
Li Shengli got angry when he found out that Guo Caixia had called Xie Yunshu. He called the village in a bad tone and said, "Fengqin, ask Caixia to call me back right away."
Feng Qin said, "Master Li, this won't work. Your wife comes to my store eight hundred times a day. If she doesn't get a call from you, she'll have to go to Beijing to look for you."
Li Shengli said in a rough voice: "Something happened at my home?"
"What could it be? It's the busy farming season, so the old couple went to help the second son. Your wife is so capable. She took care of all the farm work for the two children." Feng Qin said casually, "Oh, it seems to be about the children's schooling."
What can happen to children going to school?
Li Shengli hung up the phone, feeling furious. He worked so hard outside every day, and it couldn't be a big deal that his child went to school. It was worth calling the company. Now maybe the company and even the village were saying behind his back that Li Shengli was being strictly controlled by his wife!
It's just that he's not at home all year round. Although he doesn't spend the money he earns recklessly and he covers all the expenses of the family, the two children are not close to him. He rarely asks about their studies and even forgot that the eldest child is going to take the junior high school entrance exam this year...
Guo Caixia had just returned from working in the fields. When she heard Li Shengli making a phone call, she didn't even bother to wash her face. She just tied her hair and ran to the store.
After waiting on the phone for a while, Li Shengli called.
Guo Caixia said in a hurry: "Shengli, you went to Pengcheng? Is it good there? Are you tired from the work..."
Before she could finish her words, Li Shengli interrupted her impatiently: "What do you want to talk to me about? I told you that I would send telegrams to my family every once in a while. You called the company, wouldn't that make you look ridiculous?"
Guo Caixia's face was covered with sweat. She said timidly: "I, I'm not worried that something will happen to you..."
"What could possibly happen to me? I've been so busy on the job lately, how could I have the time to talk to you about these trivial matters?" The weather was hot, and Lee Seung-ri had been running around looking for building materials these days, contacting the construction team, and bargaining with great anger.
Guo Caixia said awkwardly: "Then I won't forget to call the company this time."
Li Shengli's tone softened a bit now: "Fengqin said you asked me to help with the child's schooling? I won't say anything more. You can make the decision about family matters without consulting me. If the money is not enough, I will help you with it."
Because Li Shengli had been doing projects before and needed to advance money at any time, he sent money home regularly every month. It was 50 yuan a month before, and now it is 150 yuan a month.
For an ordinary rural family, Guo Caixia does nothing and it is enough for her to take care of two children at home, and she can live a comfortable life.
However, there were two old women above her who would have headaches and fevers every now and then, so they would find ways to ask Guo Caixia for money to subsidize the second old woman's family. She was also reluctant to leave the crops in the fields idle, so Guo Caixia was not much happier than other women.
Even because her husband is not at home, she has to take on more work.
She was used to a hard life and could not learn to enjoy it. She saved one hundred dollars every month, in case something happened to Li Shengli outside one day, so that she could help her man.
Hearing Li Shengli saying that he wanted to transfer money, Guo Caixia hurriedly shook her head: "No, I have enough money to spend. It's not easy for you to work outside. Don't be reluctant to spend money. Eat more meat and more food..."
Li Shengli let out a long sigh: "You're talking about business, why do you always talk like this every time you call me!"
Guo Caixia was not angry, and said cautiously: "Xiaolong will go to junior high school soon, where do you think we should let him go? The school in the county town has to pay accommodation fees, and the tuition is also high..."
Li Shengli didn't even think twice: "He will definitely go to the county school. I am uneducated, and how can my child be uneducated too?"
He suffered from his lack of education!
Guo Caixia paid him every detail: "The tuition for junior high school is 43 yuan per semester, and food and accommodation for half a year also cost money. My mother went to help my second son. She came back two days ago and said she was tired and had to go to the town clinic to get medicine. I gave her ten yuan..."
Li Shengli said perfunctorily: "I know."
He didn't ask anything else. He didn't ask her if she was doing well, if she was tired from the busy farming season, or if her children were obedient...
Doesn't he care about her? No...
Does he care about her? It seems that he doesn't...
Guo Caixia paused for a moment, wanting to ask more: "Boss Xie said your company has land in Pengcheng, are you going to build a big building? What are you going to do in Pengcheng, what kind of building materials market?"
"I told you but you still don't understand. Isn't the phone bill expensive?" Li Shengli scolded her, "Anything else?"
Guo Caixia also wanted to ask, when will you come home to visit? The child hasn’t seen his father for half a year.
Suddenly, a man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Li, something happened!"
Li Shengli's hand holding the phone was not consciously moved away. He saw Han Jinghe running in breathlessly, his face full of sweat: "Boss Shen had a car accident and is now in the hospital. You know the contact information in Haicheng, hurry up and call Boss Xie."
Shen Subai was in a car accident?
Li Shengli's heart skipped a beat. Without having time to say anything to Guo Caixia, he immediately hung up the phone and called the company in Haicheng.
Guo Caixia didn't hear anything clearly, she only heard one sentence, "Brother Li is in trouble..."
She knew that working on dry land was dangerous, and many people had died in landslides in the past few years! So if Li Shengli didn't send a letter home for more than a week, she would feel uneasy.
The phone on the other end was not a public phone, and she didn't know the phone number, or even where Pengcheng was.
Seungri was just on the phone with me, so it couldn't be him who got in trouble, right? What did that mean on the phone? Something happened on the ground, what else could be going on?
Guo Caixia was just making wild guesses, and Fengqin from the grocery store teased her, "Hey, you lost your soul after making that phone call? I just heard that your boyfriend went to Pengcheng. Pengcheng is great, there's a lot of money there."
Guo Caixia's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Fengqin, do you know where Pengcheng is?"
Feng Qin chuckled: "You men earn so much money, but you don't even want to buy a TV. You'll be blind if you go out! Pengcheng is in the southernmost part of the country. It's said on TV that there are ports and foreign countries everywhere. It's a paradise for men!"
Men's paradise, what does this mean?
On the way back, Guo Caixia was still wondering what had happened to Li Shengli, but she didn't have a phone and didn't dare to call Haicheng again.
In Haicheng, Xie Yunshu and Chunya have already sorted out the information. She called Shen Subai at noon and planned to go to Hai'an Hotel in the afternoon. She was going to Pengcheng, so she had to tell Lin Cuiping.
