For the next week, Li Xiangyang used the excuse of embarrassment to ask Li Shijing to go with him to date Wang Lili.
After lunch that day, Li Xiangyang took Li Shijing to wait for Wang Lili under a big tree.
Who knew that Wang Lili would start by asking about his family situation, what his parents did, how many people were in his family, and what kind of house he owned.
Li Xiangyang told the truth, but he didn't expect to be rejected by Wang Lili.
"You're talking about family. My family isn't great, but that shouldn't affect our relationship, right?"
Wang Lili: "How can it not affect me? I'm already 20 years old, at the prime of my life. If I date you and don't get married by then, how much time will I have wasted?"
The words were spoken bluntly, which made Li Xiangyang look embarrassed.
But this is all fake.
"I'm looking for someone to marry, not a waste of time, so of course I have to choose carefully.
I don't like you, and I don't want to get married and then divorced. Just give up."
Li Xiangyang stopped talking, with a look of regret on his face: "Forget it then."
After saying this, he walked away in a deflated manner. Li Shijing shouted from behind, "Don't go," and was about to follow him.
"Hey, what's wrong with you guys? I told you a few days ago that I don't like people from ordinary families. Li Xiangyang is good-looking, but his family is too poor, and he has two younger siblings who are in school. Do you think I'm here to help alleviate poverty?"
Li Shijing stopped and looked at Wang Lili, frowning slightly. "Then your words are too hurtful, aren't they? You are somewhat pretty, but that's no reason for you to look down on me!"
Very angry!
Wang Lili looked at Li Shijing's angry back and snorted coldly: "What a joke, he wants to date me from such a shabby family."
Daydreaming!
I returned to the educated youth site with my butt twisted, and heard people in the yard discussing Li Shijing and a few others.
She sat aside without saying a word, seemingly casually, but actually listening attentively.
Those people didn't stop talking just because she was there. Instead, they asked her, "Wang Lili, Li Xiangyang, the educated youth, has been looking for you a lot lately. Is he trying to pursue you?"
Wang Lili glanced at the man and said without hiding anything: "Well, is there something wrong?"
Everyone is used to her condescending attitude, so if she wants to hear gossip, naturally no one cares.
The man smiled and said, "Nothing, I'm just curious. But why did he bring Li Shijing with him when he was pursuing you? Li Shijing is married with children, wouldn't his wife be jealous?"
"That's nothing. Li Xiangyang must have felt embarrassed, so he brought Li Shijing along. You're overthinking it. Li Shijing and his wife have a very good relationship. The whole village knew it. Moreover, Li Shijing gave a lot of betrothal gifts when they got married. I heard that his family is from the capital and is rich."
"Really? I knew that, but I didn't know his family was that rich."
"He definitely has money. The last time Tang Zhiqing went to him to ask for money, he gave it to her within a week. He definitely doesn't want to give it to her. You don't know Li Shijing yet. Also, he definitely loves his wife. Look how beautiful Tang Zhiqing is, yet he didn't want her and married someone else.
Alas, it turns out that rich people are not good people."
Rich person?
I have been here for half a year, and I have heard that Li Shijing is rich in the village, but no one has ever said that he is rich.
He can take a hundred yuan without any hesitation, so he must be rich.
Wang Lili smiled and looked towards the door. She didn't know what she was thinking. At least she didn't hear a word of what those people were talking about.
A week passed in a flash, and Tang Yiyi received the letter as soon as she got up.
It was sent back by Xu Yan. This letter should be more than a week old. The letter said that he went to the dock and saw a lot of things, but they were too big and inconvenient, so he chose to buy a player and a watch.
She also said she saw a kind of clothing called a puffer coat, which was made of duck down, and wanted to buy some for her.
A down jacket is a down jacket.
Tang Yiyi studied design, so he knows something about this.
It appeared in the early 1970s and was named "puffer jacket" because it was too fat and bulky to wear.
This is much warmer than a cotton coat, but it's a bit expensive.
After reading the letter, I put it away. The two little guys were whining and I didn't know what to do. I thought they were hungry, so I fed them.
When I pushed them out to play, I heard someone say that there had been a recent crackdown on speculation and bar lords. Several people in the city had been arrested, and a few who were not caught escaped.
Got caught?
Tang Yiyi was startled: Being caught?
She was afraid, but she pushed the cart forward and asked, "Where did you hear the news?"
"This news is all over the place now. You don't know. I heard that those people were taken back. They are in trouble now. They are going to die for making money. Alas, this kind of wicked money cannot be earned."
Tang Yiyi: You are the one who is immoral, your whole family is immoral!
What she was worried about now was Xu Yan and the others. Her hands and feet were cold and she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat, but she quickly calmed down.
Xu Yan is such a careful person, he should have noticed it early on.
Besides, this happened in the past two days, and in the south, so Xu Yan and the others should have left long ago.
Not necessarily them.
She couldn't lose her composure, she had to stay calm and not let anyone see her.
"Hey, Tang Zhiqing, where is your Xu Yan? Did he go to a gambling den? Are those guys we caught this time the same ones?"
Tang Yiyi frowned and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Xu Yan went to the south to work. Now that the village is not busy, why don't you let him go out to work?
