Chapter 28 It’s so nice to share the money
Old Li thought he was hallucinating, so he reached out and picked his ears, then looked at Tang Yue again.
"Little girl, what did you just say?"
Tang Yue found Old Li's reaction quite interesting, so she raised the corners of her lips and asked again.
"Grandpa Li, would you like to come with us?"
This time, Old Li was sure that he heard it clearly. He looked at Tang Yue in disbelief, and then at Tang Shengkai, Lin Cuicui and the three Tang Bei brothers.
He had to admit, he was a little moved. Was this really not his hallucination? But why was this child so kind?
But looking at this family, they already have a hard time living on their own. He is so old and should not burden these sensible children.
Old man Li quickly waved his hands and said, "Oh, no, no, I'm already so old, my body is half buried in the yellow earth, why should I run away?
Besides, I can’t adapt to going out, so I’ll just stay in Qiligou.”
Tang Shengkai and Lin Cuicui hadn't expected Tang Yue to ask Old Li such a question. But after Tang Yue asked, they looked at each other and thought it was okay.
After all, Uncle Li doesn’t have many relatives in the village, and he is not young anymore. If he dies someday, they are far away and can’t even help him.
Now after hearing what Old Li said, the two of them didn't know what to do.
They wanted to help Old Li with his retirement, but at this age people believe in returning to their roots. They didn't know what the situation would be like if they left, and they didn't know whether Uncle Li was willing or not.
But now that Old Li has made his stance clear, the two of them are not only disappointed but also feel uncomfortable.
Tang Yue seemed to be able to read his mind. "Grandpa Li, don't worry about Mom and Dad not being able to support you, and don't think of you as a burden to us. Have you forgotten that we are rich now?"
After saying this, he winked at Old Li. Old Li suddenly remembered the more than 20 spies' bodies he had dug up this morning, and felt mixed emotions.
He had seen those great solidarities, so it was certainly unacceptable to say that the third brother was poor now, even in the entire Qiligou.
No, even if you add up all the people in the town, they may not be as rich as Tang San's family.
But his last name is Li after all, and he has no relationship with the third brother's family. He always feels uneasy about asking others to take care of him in his old age.
Tang Shengkai opened his eyes wide and looked at Old Li. It turned out that this was what Uncle Li was thinking.
He shook his head with amusement. "Uncle Li, you don't have to think about that. We all know how good you are to us. If Uncle Li thought of me like that, I don't know what to say to you."
Uncle Li, no matter whether you have money or not, as long as I, Tang Shengkai, have something to eat, you will never go hungry. Uncle Li, please come with us.
Look at this family now. I am disabled and small, and I don't know what I will encounter along the way. With you around, I feel much more at ease.
Uncle Li has helped me a lot over the years. I regard you as my real father from the bottom of my heart. If you don’t mind, Uncle Li, you will be my real father from now on.
I have never had a biological father since I was a child, so I don’t know what it feels like to have one. Uncle Li, why don’t you help me?
Old Li could no longer hold back his tears. He turned his head, wiped his face with his hand, swallowed a few times, and then he forced himself to hold back the tears.
"What are you talking about all day? If your father were still alive, you wouldn't be bullied like this by them."
This sentence seemed to have touched Tang Shengkai's sore spot. Before he could gather his emotions, Tang Yue's weak voice sounded again.
"Grandpa Li, please come with us. If you don't come with us, we will always miss you."
Old Li could no longer hold back his tears and nodded vigorously.
"Okay, I'll go with you, let's go together!"
It’s great that he will finally have children and grandchildren in this life.
Tang Shengkai and Lin Cuicui both had smiles on their faces. Uncle Li had always taken good care of them, and they were really worried about leaving him here alone.
Tang Yue was quite happy, while Qian Dazhi remained silent. He was wondering if he should go out and have a look. He had hardly ever left Qiligou in his life.
But how would they survive out there? They were unfamiliar with the place, and without land, even having food became a problem.
Tang Yue did not invite Qian Dazhi's family. After all, they have a family and a business, and they can't just leave.
"Are you all back?"
Tang Yue and the others exchanged a glance, and Lin Cuicui hurried out to greet them, "Comrade Chen, you're here."
Chen Qingshan had come down the mountain a long time ago and was at Old Li's house, neither standing nor sitting. After waiting for a long time, he finally heard the bustling sounds coming from the village.
He saw everyone coming down the mountain at the door. He waited for a while until everyone had dispersed, and then he came to Tang Shengkai's house.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw the little girl looking up at him with a sweet smile. Chen Qingshan felt a little uncomfortable. He came back and thought about it, wondering why he was threatened by this little girl at that time.
"Um, little girl, what on earth did you ask me to come here for?"
"Uncle Chen, wait a moment."
After Tang Yue finished speaking, she walked out of the house. She had just hidden some big unity on her body, but Qian Dazhi and Old Li didn't notice.
She couldn't say she had money, so she could only make an excuse to go out. When she came back, she stretched out her hand and handed a stack of 50 Great Unity notes to Chen Qingshan.
"Uncle Chen, you've been running around a lot for my family's affairs recently. This is a small gift from our family, please accept it."
Chen Qingshan was startled and stood up directly from the edge of the kang, shaking his hands back and forth.
"No, no, no, little girl, you can't do that. You're making me make a mistake."
Tang Yue smiled and stuffed a stack of big unity notes directly into Chen Qingshan's arms.
"Uncle Chen, I understand the principle that whoever sees something should get a share. Maybe you'll need my help in the future, so don't refuse."
Qian Dazhi and Old Li's eyes almost popped out of their heads. When did this girl hide the money? How come they didn't see it?
This must have been searched from those spies, otherwise the little girl's family would not have so much money.
But the two were not jealous.
Qian Dazhi had always been an honest man, adhering to the principle of not wanting things that weren't his own. Old Li, on the other hand, thought about living with Tang Shengkai's family in the future, and since his money was no different from theirs, he naturally had no grudges.
Chen Qingshan felt like he was in a difficult situation. It was as if he was tied to the same boat with this family and couldn't get off.
How did he get tied up on the boat by these people?
Chen Qingshan nodded his head and had no choice but to put the wad of money into his pocket.
"It's getting late. I have to go back to the county. Little girl, if you have any problems in the future, come find me in the county."
Tang Yue smiled and nodded. She didn't say she was leaving and didn't know when they would meet again. She also didn't say the money was his hush money. In fact, it didn't matter to him whether he was hush money or not, she just didn't want to cause so much trouble.
After seeing Chen Qingshan off, Tang Yue took out two more stacks of Great Unity notes, one for Qian Dazhi and one for Old Li.
They both refused, neither wanting it. Tang Yue's expression grew more serious.
"Grandpa Qian, Grandpa Li, you have to take this money. In the entire Qiligou, the only ones who really care about our family are Grandpa Qian and Grandpa Li.
Besides, this money was seized from those spies, so it's only right that we share it."
Qian Dazhi said in a muffled voice, "That doesn't need that much. You didn't find much in total."
It wasn't surprising that Qian Dazhi thought this way. He didn't know if this guy was truly unlucky with money, but the bodies he searched only had about a hundred or two hundred yuan each, while the bodies Tang Yue and Old Li searched had at least two or three hundred yuan on them.
Seeing Tang Yue's insistence on handing over the money, Old Li reached out to take it. He knew that he would have many other uses for the money in the future, so he could just carry some on himself. If he needed it urgently, he wouldn't have to ask them for more.
Tang Yue didn't say anything, just staring at Qian Dazhi with her big eyes, until Qian Dazhi was unable to speak.
"If I took this money from you..."
Tang Shengkai didn't let him continue. "Uncle Qian, this is what you should do. Besides, it didn't take much effort. Just take what you deserve."
Qian Dazhi wanted to say that he hadn't really helped much. He felt guilty accepting the money, but the little girl insisted on giving it to him, and he knew she had at least this much more, so he accepted it.
"How about letting Qian Xing join the army with you?"
