Liu Li couldn't wait to get in the car. Without asking anything, she said impatiently, "I know! Don't worry, second brother. As long as I can live a good life, I will definitely be good. I won't say anything more. I'm leaving first!"
Liu Yongming was so angry at Liu Li's attitude that his guilt finally disappeared.
After returning from the police station, he was obviously in a good mood and even bought some things for Ma Cuihua.
Ma Cuihua was very surprised. "Why are you still spending money recklessly at this time? How is your sister's matter going?"
This morning Liu Yongming said that he had found a connection, and if things were handled well, not only would Liu Li be able to get out, but she could also marry a rich man, and he could also be transferred back to the city and no longer have to stay in that remote area.
Ma Cuihua was just happy and didn't think much about it. But now seeing Liu Yongming so happy, she felt a little uneasy.
Liu Yongming put his arm around Ma Cuihua's shoulders and walked into the house. "Mom, my little sister has come out. Someone drove over to pick her up. I wanted her to come back, but she couldn't move when she saw the car. She insisted on following them and didn't even want me, her second brother, to come."
"What? Second brother! Your sister is ignorant, and you are also ignorant? I haven't agreed to her marriage yet! What's more, I don't even know what the other person is like or what he looks like. How could you let your sister run away with him so easily? What decent girl would do such a thing!"
Ma Cuihua was so angry that if the person in front of her was not her proud youngest son, she would have taken action.
Liu Yongming's smile faded a little, and he patiently said in a gentle voice: "Mom! Have you forgotten the lesson this time? Does my little sister still have a reputation in our area? Everyone knows about her bad deeds. Just tell me, which decent family in this area dares to marry her?
If you really invite someone to propose marriage, and then they hear some rumors on the streets and then verify them, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?
This time I told them that my younger sister was framed by her ex-sister-in-law and that I was the cause of it all. They didn't suspect me at all and really sent people over. My lies didn't hold water at all."
Although Ma Cuihua didn't want to admit it, she had to say that what Liu Yongming said was quite pertinent. Any one of Liu Li's things could scare people away.
She instantly lost her temper and sighed, "Forget it, you are all grown up now, I can't control it anymore, as long as she can get married smoothly, I don't need to see her, but I have to take the betrothal gift!"
Liu Yongming had guessed what Ma Cuihua was thinking, and immediately put a thousand yuan on the table, "Hey, this is my betrothal gift, exactly one thousand yuan, please count it carefully."
Ma Cuihua suddenly became energetic, and counted the thick stack of marriage certificates several times in front of Liu Yongming. She smiled brightly, "Good, good, good! You are still capable in our family! I heard that Lao Qin's youngest daughter married well, and the betrothal gift was only 800 yuan. Your sister's betrothal gift is 200 more than hers! All the deficit in the family has been made up!"
Liu Yongming agreed with a smile. In fact, the other party gave him more money than that. He hid half of it and used it to pay off the high-interest loans. When he was transferred back to the city, he would not be afraid of being entangled by the underworld.
The mother and son were so busy calculating that they had forgotten about Liu Li who had been taken away.
When Xu Manzhi learned that Liu Li's betrothal gift was one thousand yuan, her attitude towards Ma Cuihua improved again.
The Liu family can finally live in peace.
At the same time, Liu Yongming, who was preparing to return to the countryside to work, made a special trip to the seafood wholesale store before leaving.
This time he didn't see Lin Qin, he only saw Lin Yi busy in the store and a woman he had never seen before.
He had only been observing for a while when someone came over to ask, "Buying something?"
Liu Yongming shook his head.
The other party's face darkened instantly, "Why are you standing here if you're not buying anything? Are you here to cause trouble?"
Seeing that the other party was about to take action, Liu Yongming hurried away.
After the old man chased the man away, he sat back down and chatted with him.
Lin Yi saw all of this.
When the things in the store were almost sold out, there were some small fish and shrimps left. He packed some and took them out to hand over to the old man, "Lao Zhang, I saw everything just now. Thank you very much. These are the leftovers. Take them back and ask my sister-in-law to make soy sauce. Hurry up."
Lao Zhang was polite for a few seconds before taking it and walked happily into the alley next to him.
At this time, Huang Yuezhen was also carrying a box of seafood and preparing to leave for the construction site. Lin Yi had to stay for a while and wait for the next batch of goods from Chen Wenjun to arrive.
He also had to help with the sorting and loading of goods into the containers, and when it was almost time to pick up the children from school, Chen Wenjun would rush back to Nanyu to cook.
At noon, Lin Qin returned home with her youngest son.
Lin Yi told Liu Yongming about what he saw that morning, and praised him, "When you delivered seafood to the old man and old lady nearby, I thought you were fooling around, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at the critical moment! If it weren't for the neighbors stepping in this time, you might not have been able to defeat that scoundrel with your child alone."
Lin Qin pulled the corner of his mouth in amusement, "Dad! Even if we didn't have those neighbors, we would still have enough people in our store. I wouldn't be bullied anyway. It's just a bit more troublesome.
I didn’t think too much when I gave gifts to those grandmas, grandpas, aunties and uncles. In the future, just remember to be kind to others and don’t think about anything else.”
Lin Yi nodded and reminded: "You should be more careful in the future. If you really can't do it, don't go to the store. Wenjun, your cousin's wife and I can help you."
Chen Wenjun agreed, "Indeed, I plan to buy another tricycle, so that our family will have two tricycles and two bicycles. You and your cousin's wife can go out on bicycles, and my dad and I can ride the tricycle. It's easy to carry goods and children."
Hearing this, Lin Yi's eyes lit up and he nodded hurriedly, "That's great! I've wanted to tell you about changing to a tricycle for a long time. Before, the two children were small and could fit on a bicycle by squeezing together. Now that the children are getting older, it's too crowded to sit in the back. I can't lead them in the front, and they don't know how to sit either.
It’s different with a tricycle. You can put two small stools there so they can read a book or eat something on the way to school. It’s convenient for your family of five to go out.”
Chen Wenjun's tricycle is specially used to transport seafood, and it smells like fish. It is a bit inappropriate for a family of five to go out on that tricycle.
Chen Wenjun seemed to be thinking about something, then turned around and went to find Gao Lei.
Gao Lei is also a capable person. After successfully modifying the five-sail boat, he also modified several diesel tricycles. With just a step of the foot, the tricycle can run by itself, and at a fairly fast speed.
Seeing that Chen Wenjun needed it, he simply took out two, which were not much more expensive.
After Chen Wenjun tried it himself, he found that the diesel tricycle was much more convenient than the human-powered tricycle, and it could save a lot of effort if used to transport goods.
He immediately took the two tricycles back to Nanyu.
Lin Qin held the child and watched with the whole family.
Fortunately, the island is paved with cement roads.
Lin Yi took Ping An and Ya Ya to run back and forth several times, and was extremely excited.
Lin Qin watched for a while and suggested: "I think we can rent a house on the other side of the river to park the car. This will be more convenient." (End of this chapter)
