He heard that all the children in the Qin family, except those who were not of age, had gone to school.
Even Qin Qiu, who dropped out of school for a year, continued to study, which shows that his family has some money.
He had finally caught an opportunity to take advantage, and he didn't want to waste it.
Thinking of this, he glared at the person who was trying to persuade him: "Who do you think you are? Do you think you should act as a peacemaker here?"
"Uncle Li, you are being unreasonable. We weren't talking too loudly. It's obviously you who couldn't catch any fish, so you blamed us." Qin Man is the oldest boy among his grandchildren.
Seeing Li Dacheng bullying his father like that, he plucked up the courage to speak.
Li Dacheng didn't want to argue with the child. He looked at Qin Jiandang impatiently and said, "How are you going to solve this? Do you want me to ask Captain Liu to come, or do you want to settle it with me privately?"
Qin Jiandang knew that he was being blackmailed, but this matter was not something that could be explained simply with words.
No one could prove whether Li Dacheng had caught the fish and was then scared away by the children's voices.
He asked with a straight face: "So how do you want to chat privately?"
“It’s very simple. Either you catch a fish and compensate me, or you just give me fifty cents.” Li Dacheng’s eyes lit up when he heard that there was hope.
"Fifty cents? Why don't you go and rob?" Qin Jiandang was so angry that he laughed.
He really dares to say that. Does he really think he is being taken advantage of?
Li Dacheng explained: "Fish costs 1.7 cents per pound, and the fish that was scared away by your child weighed at least five or six pounds.
I'm underestimating this, and it's all because we're from the same village."
"Fifty cents, don't even think about it." Qin Jianjun refused directly.
Li Dacheng crossed his arms and looked at him jokingly: "It's okay if you don't want to pay me, then catch a five or six jin fish to compensate me.
Otherwise, we'll never be done with this.
You also know me. I will not give up until I achieve my goal.
Anyway, I have plenty of time to mess around with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xia came over with a basket and brought him lunch.
Seeing that her husband and the Qin family were on edge, she hurriedly asked, "What happened to Dacheng?"
"This is not something you, a woman, should take care of. Bring me the food. Do you want to starve me to death?" He had been sitting by the reservoir fishing since he finished breakfast.
I thought we could have some meat at home today, but we didn’t catch any fish.
Fortunately, he found the opportunity to blackmail Qin Jiandang.
Zhou Xia didn't dare to disobey Li Dacheng. She was so scared that she quickly lifted the towel of the basket and took out the food.
Rather than a meal, it was more like two steamed buns with sorghum rice added in. They were extremely unpalatable.
Apart from two steamed buns, there were only some dried radishes left.
No appetite at all
It can be seen how bad the Li family's conditions are. They are almost comparable to the Qin family's most difficult times.
"Is this all you give me to eat?" Li Dacheng looked at his wife unhappily.
Zhou Xia, who was already frightened by the beating, shook noticeably. "We have almost run out of food at home. Mom said that we can eat white rice after we plant rice."
"I got it. Please go away. You're an eyesore!" Li Dacheng looked at his wife with disdain.
He married Zhou Xia simply because he asked for a small dowry, otherwise there was no way he could have brought her home.
That weak and helpless look makes me angry just looking at it.
After saying that, he no longer cared about Zhou Xia. Looking at the steamed bun in his hand, he became more determined to blackmail Qin Jiandang.
He had to have a snack at night. Lately he either ate steamed corn bread or porridge so thin that it could reflect a person's face. But no matter how much he ate, he could never feel full.
"Jian Dang, what are your thoughts? Are you going to pay me or pay me back? I don't have the patience to waste time with you here."
Zhou Xia was about to leave, but she knew what her husband had done just by hearing one sentence from him.
He couldn't help but say, "Dacheng, please don't make it difficult for Jiandang. There are so many children watching here!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Li Dacheng slapped her hard: "Shut up, if you say one more word, I will beat you to death."
His eyes were fierce, and there was no trace of joking in them.
Qin Jiandang frowned: "What kind of skill is it to beat a woman?"
"I beat my woman, what does it have to do with you?
Why do you feel sorry for my wife?" Li Dacheng asked with a sneer.
Qin Jiandang was a little angry: "Zhou Xia is your wife, you should be the one who feels sorry for her."
"I'm beating my wife, so stop telling me what to do.
Give me a definite answer, which one should I choose?" Li Dacheng lost all patience, and the way he ate the steamed bread looked as ferocious as he could be.
Although Qin Jiandang looks honest and simple, he is not the kind of person who allows others to ride on his head and do shit and piss on him.
He said expressionlessly, "I don't choose any of them."
"Are you kidding me?" Li Dacheng was angry.
"You were the one who played tricks on me first. You now have your eyes on me. Do you really think that there is no one left in my Qin family?" Qin Jiandang looked at Li Dacheng unwillingly.
This completely infuriated Li Dacheng. He clenched his fist and prepared to hit Qin Jiandang in the face.
As a result, he didn't hit anyone, but fell flat on his face.
"You deserve it!" Qin Xia made a face at Li Dacheng who looked embarrassed.
This made Li Dacheng lose all face, and he was so angry that he wanted to vent his anger on his children.
He didn't care whether the child could withstand his blow and pounced on him like a mad dog.
Qin Xia was so frightened that he froze on the spot, not knowing how to dodge.
