Chapter 269 You Are Poor, You Are Right
When Li Danian and the others heard this, they looked at each other with anxious expressions.
"Uncle Zhiming, didn't your Xiaoxu open a vegetable shop in the city? Talk to Xiaoxu and ask him to harvest all the vegetables from our fields. If he doesn't, it will be really bad." Li Danian said in a kind voice.
I'm afraid the roots have started to rot now. If the vegetables are not harvested, they will rot in the fields.
Even if it is harvested and has been wetted by rain, it cannot be kept for too long.
So now, the only way to barely keep some money is to sell it.
"What are you thinking? My sister's vegetable store is so small, and we can't even sell our vegetables, so why should I buy yours?" Li Yong snorted coldly and said.
Li Danian ignored Li Yong and just looked at Li Zhiming and begged, "Uncle Zhiming, we are all from the same village. Please help us. We will never forget your kindness."
"I really can't help you. If I could, why wouldn't I help?" Li Zhiming explained.
"Uncle Zhiming, your family's situation is different from ours! You have money, so even if you lose this crop, you still have the capital to make a comeback after the rainy season. But it's different for us. We have really lost everything for this greenhouse. Please be kind and let Xiaoxu buy our vegetables. You can give him a price that suits your taste. We don't want it to be too high. So, your Xiaoxu won't suffer any loss."
Listening to Li Danian's words, Li Yong couldn't help laughing.
"According to you, my sister should thank you, right?"
Liu Guihua, who was standing next to him, pulled him back, fearing that what he said might be too harsh.
After all, we are neighbors. If things become too awkward, how will we meet again in the future?
Of course, she also scoffed at Li Danian's proposal in her heart.
She had seen the vegetables in the shed of Li Danian and his friends.
They all look wilted, not only are they small, but their color is also bad.
They would like to sell vegetables like that at a high price, but the problem is that they can’t sell them at all!
"Li Yong, isn't what you said a bit too much? You know very well that's not what I meant!" Li Danian also became a little annoyed.
"What do you mean? Our family is rich, so it doesn't matter if the vegetables rot in the fields. Your family is poor, so my sister has to take all your vegetables? Is that what you mean? You are poor, so you are right?"
Li Danian and his companions saw that Li Zhiming's family refused to listen no matter what they said, so they lost their patience.
"Li Yong, how can you talk like that? Whose family didn't come from poverty? After your family has had a few days of good life, you start looking down on us?" another person said angrily.
Li Danian pointed at Li Yong's nose and scolded him, "Li Yong, shouldn't you be responsible for this matter? If your family hadn't built a greenhouse, would we have followed suit? You watched us invest all our family assets in it, and you didn't even do a thing. You just wanted to see us make a fool of ourselves, right?"
Li Yong was no pushover, and he stepped forward and said, "We built a greenhouse and you followed suit. It's obviously you who followed the trend, but you made us the one to blame? Now you blame us for losing money, but if you make money, can you share the money with us?"
Seeing his younger brother and Li Danian confronting each other, Li Lei stepped forward silently, stood next to Li Yong, and supported his younger brother.
"Besides, what do you mean by not saying a word? Keep your mouth shut! Didn't my father remind you that there was a lot of rain this year and you shouldn't invest too much capital? You didn't listen, so who can you blame now?"
"Everyone in your family is very gloomy. We invested a lot of money at that time. If we didn't continue to invest, all the money we invested would have been wasted. Since you knew that the weather was bad this year, why didn't you remind us earlier?" Li Danian argued.
Li Yong was so angry that he laughed: "Am I God? I knew there would be floods this summer several months in advance?"
He looked around and ran to the kitchen to get a fire poker. "All of you, get out of here. If you keep talking nonsense in my house, be careful of my stick!"
As he spoke, he waved it a few times in an authentic manner.
Li Danian was so frightened that he stepped back and didn't pay attention to his feet, and fell to the ground.
The scene was in chaos, and the brothers Li Yong and Li Lei took the opportunity to kick out the three people who came to cause trouble.
After closing the door, Li Yong spat on the ground: "Pooh, what bad luck!"
I have lived in the same village for so many years, but I never knew that Li Danian was so shameless.
"People like this deserve to lose everything they have invested!" Li Yongqi said.
The family was silent. Not long after Li Yong sat down, Li Lei stood up and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to go check on my sister and talk to her. I'll also go see Xiaoning!"
Li Miao was a little worried: "It's raining so hard outside, how are you going to go?"
Li Lei said: "Don't worry, I'll go there by bike, nothing will happen."
Li Miao was still a little worried: "It's better not to go. What can elder sister do? Going will only cause her problems!"
Li Lei was silent for a moment, then said: "Don't worry, I know what's going on and I won't embarrass you. I won't be back tonight, so don't wait for me to eat."
He took out a raincoat from the side, put it on, and rushed out in the rain.
The bicycle was pushed out from under the tin shed next to the yard.
The water on the ground was a little deep, so he waded through the water and slowly walked out.
Li Yong stood up and wanted to follow.
But then he changed his mind and was afraid that Li Danian and his gang would come back and cause trouble again.
My younger sister, parents and I are the only ones at home, and I’m afraid I can’t control them.
He sat down on the stool dejectedly again and let out a long sigh.
It was raining heavily at this time. Li Lei didn't dare to walk fast for fear of slipping, so he could only walk slowly.
It would have taken him nearly an hour to walk a distance that should have taken half an hour.
Even so, he fell several times along the way.
When he arrived at Li Xu's shop, he was covered in mud.
The neighborhood where Li Xu lives is located on relatively high ground and has a relatively good drainage system, so the business of the store has not been affected much.
Seeing Li Lei's embarrassed look, Li Xu was frightened and rushed over to him: "What happened?"
Li Lei stood under the eaves at the door and patted the mud off his body: "Nothing, I just fell on the road!"
Li Xu took a towel and wiped his face: "Are you okay? Did you fall?"
Li Lei shook his head: "No!"
Li Xu looked up at the watch and saw that it was almost five o'clock. It was almost time to go home and cook.
"Let's go home first, change your clothes, and the children should be back soon." Li Xu pulled Li Lei home.
The weather has not been very good in recent days, so Li Xu ordered the children to go home before five o'clock in the evening.
