Seeing the villagers looking at him, Zhou Jingli quickly said, "It's because of Li Mingqing. If it weren't for him, Li Goudan and I wouldn't have done such a disrespectful thing. But I do know how to drive, so nothing will happen."
Li Mingqing cursed, "Because of me? Are you planning to let me take the blame?"
"It's because of you."
"Li Goudan, is this really what he said?"
When Li Goudan heard Li Mingqing's question, he didn't dare to say anything nonsense because Li Mingqing had the leverage over him.
"No, Zhou Zhiqing and I just had a few arguments, and he did this on impulse."
Zhou Jingli looked at him in disbelief.
This was different from what he thought, it must be Li Mingqing's fault.
Zhao Changgui looked at the peanuts and peanut shells that had been packed and said, "Village Chief, have someone move the bags while I drive the machine out."
The village chief said apologetically, "Move immediately."
Without saying a word, the villagers immediately moved more than a dozen bags of peanuts to the side to make room.
"Mingqing, I'm leaving first. Come to my house when you have time."
"Okay, go slowly on the road."
The rumbling sound sounded again, and gradually became inaudible.
The village chief looked at Zhou Jingli and asked, "Luckily, nothing serious happened. If something had happened, you would have been in big trouble."
"Village Chief, I just went up to take a look."
"Is this something you can just go up and look at? What's so good about it? If you break it, can you afford to pay for it? The whole village will be implicated by you."
"It's okay."
He said with a guilty conscience.
Li Goudan was about to leave when Zhou Jingli called him back again.
"Li Goudan! What do you mean? Why are you speaking up for Li Mingqing? Aren't you two always at odds?"
"I'm just telling the truth."
"What the hell is that? To be honest, a coward like you is no wonder your own son doesn't have your last name. If I were from the Wang family, I wouldn't let my child have your last name either."
Li Goudan was already feeling aggrieved about this matter, and he even spoke it out in front of so many people.
To embarrass him is to slap him in the face.
Li Mingqing, who was about to leave, stopped. A fight was about to break out. It made sense not to watch such excitement, let alone the excitement between these two people.
I never thought that Zhou Jingli would have an argument with Li Goudan.
The two of them started fighting each other with punches.
They rolled on the ground, and in less than two minutes their faces were covered with bruises, like a palette.
Neither the village chief nor the villagers tried to stop the fight.
Everyone was busy gathering the peanuts and taking out the beam scales to weigh them.
After a while, the two stopped fighting because they were tired.
Li Mingqing said, "That's it? It's over so soon?"
"You really are talking without any pain in your back. I've never seen you take such pleasure in other people's misfortunes."
"If I take action, you'll have to stay in bed for half a month."
Li Goudan had been bedridden for half a month. He remembered that he was no match for Li Mingqing when he started fighting.
Zhou Jingli lost his strength after just two injections and was a little scared.
Zhao Hongbin smiled and said, "Dude, that's awesome."
It's really satisfying to see the two of them get humiliated. It really brings discredit to the village.
The captain shouted, "Hongbin, Xiangjun, come over here and carry the beam scale."
This job is for young men. Lifting a beam scale is strenuous work, and it takes a lot of strength to lift so many bags.
The two of them happily carried one side each, the village chief looked at the weight, and the team leader wrote it down in a notebook.
Seeing that everyone was busy with their own work, Li Mingqing went home.
Sun Jiaxue was still chatting with Yang Daya in the old house.
"Si Niu is growing up so fast."
"If you have enough food and eat well, it would be strange if you don't grow fast."
"I saw Wang Dahua holding a child this morning. The child was born much earlier than Siniu, but she's not as white and plump as Siniu."
"Si Niu has never suffered any injustice. It must have been very difficult for Wang Dahua to survive."
"I don't know if I'm carrying a boy or a girl."
"It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl. Fourth Brother isn't the type to favor boys over girls. Health is the most important thing."
She touched her belly and said, "I hope it's a boy."
After hearing this, Yang Daya asked, "Are you biased towards boys over girls?"
"No, no, no, that's not the case. I'm just worried about the gossip in the village. I was told before that I couldn't have children. Who knows what they would say if it was a girl."
"That's how people in the village are. They just listen in one ear and let it out the other."
She looked at Sun Jiaxue and thought of Li Lizhu, afraid that she would get stuck in a dead end.
Li Lizhu took medicine from a fortune teller because the villagers secretly said that she could not give birth to a son.
Sun Jiaxue is pregnant, so don't do anything weird.
Li Mingqing came to find Sun Jiaxue. When he left, Yang Daya specifically said, "Please persuade your wife. She's listening to the villagers and has reached a dead end."
"What's going on?"
"Even when it comes to having a baby, you don't seem like someone who cares about the gender of the baby."
When she got home, Sun Jiaxue picked up the rag on the table and wiped the dust.
Although the doors and windows were closed, a lot of dust still came in through the gaps between the doors and windows.
Li Mingqing also helped and said, "Wife, is the child bothering you?"
"No, he's very well behaved. He must be very obedient after he's born."
"Don't listen to the nonsense the old women in the village tell you."
"Alas, I didn't believe it either, but I sometimes think of it when I hear about it."
Some women said that if she couldn't give birth to a boy, she would definitely be kicked out. They said that Li Mingqing was so capable that he had no shortage of women. They said that girls from all over the village would be willing to marry him.
It was the first time Li Mingqing saw her sigh.
"I've given you all the money. Next time, tell them that you have the money at home and that I treat you well and I listen to you."
"No, that won't do. It would be so embarrassing for you."
"What's there to be ashamed of? My brothers also gave their money to my sister-in-law to manage."
"You can't tell anyone about that, or people will say you're henpecked."
Sun Jiaxue spoke very seriously.
She couldn't let Li Mingqing become the subject of gossip during after-dinner tea.
"I am indeed afraid of you, that's true."
After hearing this, Sun Jiaxue opened her eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief with her watery eyes, knowing that he was not afraid of being bullied at all.
"Brother Mingqing, you are talking nonsense."
"Why are you talking nonsense? I worry to death when you have something on your mind. I'm afraid you'll be unhappy."
"Life is so good, there is nothing we can't overcome."
Li Mingqing smiled and said, "Yes, we live our lives well and don't need to care about what others say. They keep watching our family all day long, saying things that sow discord between us. If we take them seriously, we'll just be doing what they want."
Sun Jiaxue thought about it and nodded, it was indeed true.
Even though we understand the truth, it is inevitable that we will sometimes be too serious.
She thought that she really needed to pay more attention, focus more on the people and things at home, and pay less attention to outsiders.
"It's good that you figured it out. Look at my second sister-in-law. She almost lost her life because of what the villagers said."
Upon hearing this, Sun Jiaxue was enlightened.
