Now that it's his turn, he can't bear to do it.
Li Jiakang told him many times to buy some drinks for him and his wife, but he didn't listen.
Li Jiakang wanted to help them, but he was powerless.
It’s different now. Not only can he help, but he can also do it for free.
Li Jiafu moved his lips and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "We are still young, we don't need to drink."
"Over fifty, can you still be called young?"
After talking so much, Li Jiakang felt thirsty. He picked up the cup and drank some tea that was not too hot, and then he felt his thirst was relieved.
"Male workers can only retire at 60, so those in their 50s are certainly considered young."
"Why don't you compare yourself with those who work in high-risk industries?" Li Jiakang glared.
Seeing that Li Jiafu was about to speak, Li Jiakang interrupted him and said, "No matter how much you talk today, I won't change my mind. You'd better give up on this idea."
Now Li Jiafu and his wife didn’t know what to say.
Wang Ying was delighted. Doesn’t this mean that there’s a chance of getting the money?
Li Jianguo saw it clearly. He knew that his uncle could be so generous only because his three cousins made a lot of money.
However, he did not ask for the specific amount and pretended to know nothing.
Everyone in the room had their own thoughts, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.
Li Jiakang was very happy because he didn't have to argue with others anymore.
He kept drinking tea until more than ten minutes later, when Li Jianjun came in from outside. "Uncle, I've done as you instructed. Do you want to go out and take a look?"
"Of course I have to watch it." Li Jiakang put down the cup, stood up and walked out.
Li Jiafu and others hurriedly followed.
Wang Ying quickly walked to the front and grabbed Li Jianjun. After waiting for others to pass by, she told him in a very low voice what had just happened.
Li Jianjun was so excited after hearing this that he quickly said, "You stay home and look after the kids. I'll go with them to thank Auntie and Brother Xu."
Seeing Wang Ying nod in agreement, Li Jianjun quickly walked to Li Jiakang's side and pointed to the twenty or so empty pots on the ground. "Uncle, my dad's vegetable pots are all here. If you're worried, you can go inside and check."
"No need, I trust you."
After witnessing it with his own eyes, Li Jiakang did not stay any longer and said goodbye.
Li Jiafu and his wife, Li Jianguo and Li Jianjun went home with him.
Everyone greeted each other, and then Li Jiafu and the other three began to express their gratitude.
After expressing his gratitude, Li Jianguo asked Li Xu for advice on how to run the restaurant.
Li Xu told everything he knew, and Li Jianguo and Li Jianjun borrowed paper and pen to take notes while listening.
At the same time, the four adults walked out of the main room and started chatting in Li Jiakang's room.
Li Jiafu and his wife originally wanted to ask Sun Xiu to persuade Li Jiakang to take back his words.
As a result, not only did the task fail to be accomplished, but Sun Xiu scolded them for being too reserved.
Afterwards, Sun Xiu used both soft and hard tactics to persuade them to agree obediently, and also told them not to do heavy work in the future.
Her actions allowed Li Jiafu and his wife to confirm that what Li Jiakang said was indeed discussed with her in advance.
In the end, they had no choice but to accept the benefits given by their eldest brother and sister-in-law.
Li Jiafu and his three companions left not long after they left. After they left, Li Xu and others continued chatting around the fire.
This chat lasted another day.
After dinner, the Li family started to get busy. They took out the money to pay off the debt, divided it into envelopes, put the envelopes and gifts into bags, and walked out.
Originally, Li Xu planned to repay the money himself, but later others said that some of the money was not borrowed by him, so it would not be appropriate for him to go, so they decided that whoever borrowed the money would repay it.
Li Xu came to the door of Liu's house with a bag. Seeing that the gate was closed, he went forward and knocked a few times.
Soon the gate was opened, and a child about ten years old opened it.
The other party was stunned when he saw Li Xu, but then he quickly reacted and called out in surprise, "Uncle Xu, you're back from outside."
"Yeah." Li Xu took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to him, then touched his head. "Close the door quickly, I'll go in first."
When he arrived at the main room, the Liu family members in the room were all stunned when they saw him, and seemed a little unable to react.
Li Xu greeted them one by one with amusement.
Now everyone came to their senses and surrounded him, asking him questions non-stop.
Li Xu responded one by one, and it took a long time for the room to quiet down.
Old Master Liu, Liu Wen, and Liu Gang brought him to the study. As soon as they entered, Li Xu took out three envelopes from his bag and handed them to them. "Grandpa Liu, Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu, these envelopes contain the money I lent you. Count them."
Mr. Liu was already over seventy, but he was still in good spirits. He handed the envelope to Liu Wen and asked Liu Gang to make tea for Li Xu. Then he said cheerfully, "It looks like you made a lot of money this time."
Since it involved money, Liu Wen and Liu Gang did not hesitate to open the envelope and count the money in front of him.
Li Xu took out the gifts from the bag and placed them on the desk while responding, "It's not bad. At least it's better than going to work."
After the three gifts were laid out, he continued, "Grandpa Liu, these are the gifts I brought for you, one for each family."
Lending him money is out of friendship. If he pays interest, it will be a great insult to the borrower.
So he could only pick out a few good things from the supplies he brought home yesterday.
Liu Gang stopped counting the money, looked up, and scolded with a smile, "You little bastard, if you say it's okay, then it's very good. Tell me, did you make as much as the cost?"
