The beggar heard what Old Lady Xu said and said, "Is it true?"
"Look at this yard, it looks fake."
"It's really impressive, but it's hard to talk to people. I'd better get up."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Old Lady Xu held him down.
"Why are you so anxious? The young couple from the Li family will be out soon. The daughter-in-law is pregnant, so she has to do more good things."
"You have a point there."
The beggar knelt down again, ready to kneel for another half an hour.
Old Mrs. Xu nodded with satisfaction.
Now let’s see how Li Mingqing ends up. Beggars are not so easy to deal with.
The village chief and the team leader went out for a stroll and saw someone kneeling in front of the door of Li's new house.
Thinking something had happened, I hurried over.
Isn't this an old acquaintance who is involved in scams?
"What are you doing kneeling here?"
"Brother, please have mercy on me. If this continues, I will faint from hunger."
"Leave now. It's useless even if you kneel here for the rest of your life."
Li Mingqing has a bad temper. If you say a few nice words to him, he might soften his heart. But if you force him to kneel down, there is no way he will be forced to do that in his next life.
The beggar said nothing more.
He thought to himself, this young man looks young but he is cruel.
Even if it's just for your own face, you should still express something.
But there is no expression, what a waste of feelings.
Old Lady Xu had been watching from the side, and only took a few steps back after the village chief and the team leader arrived.
The captain noticed her and said, "Why are you here too?"
"I just happened to be passing by, why didn't Ming Qing come out to say a word?"
"There's nothing much to say. If this happened at your doorstep, you would have chased them away with a stick."
"What are you talking about? I wouldn't be so rude."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Mingqing opened the door and came out.
"Uncle village chief, uncle team leader, why are you here?"
"We thought someone was here, so we came over to check, but we didn't expect it to be this guy."
Li Mingqing said, "Go quickly, or you'll just have to kneel here."
"Just give me a little bit of food from your pocket. It'll be enough for me to eat for two meals. Just consider it a good deed."
Old Lady Xu chimed in, "Yes, how pitiful."
"Auntie, if you feel sorry for him, you can take him home."
"What are you talking about, kid? My family is so poor that we can't even afford to eat our next meal."
"Then stop pushing it."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and asked, "Uncles, would you like to come over to our house and sit down?"
"No, you can do it yourself."
After they finished talking, they left.
Old Lady Xu watched the village chief leave and prepared to leave too.
"Auntie, where are you going? I see you're quite familiar with this beggar. Do you two know each other?"
"Nonsense, how could they possibly know each other?"
"I thought you knew me, otherwise why would you keep pushing Uncle? The most important thing is that he actually listens to you. You said we're from the same village, so what do you mean by helping an outsider?"
"I didn't, I just felt sorry for him."
"Why are you still kneeling here? Auntie said you're pitiful and wants to have dinner with her. Come on, follow me."
The man kneeling on the ground immediately stood up and followed Old Lady Xu.
"Big sister, I know you are a kind person."
Old Lady Xu was stunned for a second before she started cursing, "What big sister? Who is your big sister? Get out of here! You stink so much! You're so shameless!"
"Why are you swearing at me, sister? You're so mean! It's you who made me kneel here."
"Just kneel down when I tell you to. You're incompetent and you're blaming others."
She ran away after cursing, fearing that she would be harassed.
Li Mingqing went back and closed the door.
The beggar looked at the empty street and walked away cursing.
I didn’t get anything, not even a steamed bun.
Sun Jiaxue asked, "Has the uncle left?"
"He's gone. If it weren't for Old Lady Xu talking nonsense, he would have left long ago."
"I love him, he's got good bones, why is he still begging for food?"
"I'm too lazy. I want to eat something ready-made."
"These days, not every household is well-off, so few people are willing to give their food to strangers."
“There will always be a few kind-hearted people.”
Li Mingqing took out two bags of cotton from the space.
Looking at the soft, white cotton, Sun Jiaxue was stunned for two seconds and said, "Brother Mingqing, there are so many cottons."
"When Hongbin comes tomorrow, just give him half a bag."
"Xiaolan was so happy to see this. She was originally worried about the cotton."
"Make yourself a cotton-padded jacket and trousers to keep you and our baby from getting cold."
"I can't get cold at home."
"That won't do. You didn't have a cotton-padded jacket before, but you have one at home. You can't wear only one piece of clothing in the cold winter."
"I haven't worn the sweater you bought me last time."
Sun Jiaxue said nonchalantly while touching the cotton.
Li Mingqing was so angry that he laughed. She really didn't take him seriously.
"Wife, let me tell you something. If you don't make it yourself, I'll go to the county town and buy you ready-made clothes."
"It's such a waste to buy it. I can just make it myself."
"He's really a little money-grubber."
"I'll use this cotton to make a blanket for our child. It will be comfortable for the child to lie on, and I happen to have a piece of cotton cloth."
"Okay, do whatever you want."
——
The next day, Zhou Hongbin and Li Xiaolan came over.
"Jiaxue, isn't Brother Mingqing back from work yet?"
"The cotton has been brought back at noon and divided among you. I'll go get it from the house."
