"I didn't expect Li Goudan to have the spare money to buy coal. Look at his house, it's so shaky it could collapse in a torrential downpour."
"Yeah, it's not right to burn charcoal at this time."
"The weather isn't that cold yet. The river at the entrance to the village hasn't frozen over yet. Even if we want to burn charcoal, we'll have to wait until the coldest part of winter."
"I don't know what's going on between Li Goudan and Liu Xiang."
"That's not right. No one would joke about their own life."
"That's true, but Li Goudan always thinks differently from ordinary people."
…
You and I were trying to guess what was going on.
After vomiting, Li Goudan gasped for breath.
It feels like saving your life and surviving a disaster.
Li Xiangjun asked, "Goudan, what's going on? What are you doing at home?"
"Nothing, just burning two pieces of honeycomb coal."
He bought it in town this morning.
I only bought six pieces.
I originally went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy coarse salt, but I came across someone selling honeycomb coal. I happened to have some spare money, and I wanted to buy a few pieces to take home and try it out before winter.
After all, in previous years he saw Li Mingqing's family burning two or three pieces of honeycomb coal every day.
See if it really burns that well.
Back home.
Li Goudan and Liu Xiang closed the door and found some scraps of cloth to block the gaps in the door to prevent the heat from escaping.
The honeycomb coal that we bought with great difficulty cannot be wasted.
I didn’t buy a tin stove, I just put it directly on the cooking stove.
In less than half an hour, both of them were infected.
Insist on crawling out of the house.
After hearing what Li Goudan said, the villagers sighed.
So that's what's happening.
It’s better to burn the firewood properly.
Save money and be safe.
Liu Xiang, who had recovered, cursed:
"I really believed your lies. I told you long ago that something smelled wrong, but you were so stubborn that you almost went to hell. It's a good thing my son wasn't home."
After she finished cursing, she tried to stand up but her legs went weak and she fell down again.
Li Goudan didn't have the energy to argue with her right now.
It's really uncomfortable.
He turned to Li Mingqing and said, "Mingqing, thank goodness you came back to the village today, otherwise I would have lost my life. But please take a look at me quickly, my stomach hurts so badly."
There was no need to look, there were obvious footprints on his clothes.
It must have been kicked several times.
"Nothing serious, maybe someone accidentally kicked you in the stomach."
Upon hearing this, Li Goudan quickly lowered his head.
There were three or four large footprints on the clothes.
He immediately looked up at Wu Liqiang who was gloating beside him.
It must have been Wu Liqiang who kicked him.
"What are you looking at? If I hadn't called Ming Qing over, you two would have been taken away by the Black and White Impermanence long ago. You must thank me for this. Fifty dollars for two lives is not expensive at all."
"What!"
Li Goudan stood up nimbly from the ground.
"Wu Liqiang, you are so shameless! Even if you weren't there, other villagers would have seen it. Do you really think I would die without you?"
"Whatever you say, I'll take it for fifty dollars."
Wu Liqiang said righteously.
Li Mingqing watched the two of them refusing to give in to each other, and stood quietly by and ate the melon.
In some ways, all three are ninjas.
Their tolerance and acceptance are much stronger than those of ordinary people.
Especially Wu Liqiang.
From time to time, I would find trouble with the two of them, causing them trouble while also not forgetting to cause trouble for myself.
Liu Xiang walked over slowly and advised, "We'll talk about this later."
"Get out of the way."
"None of your business."
Li Goudan and Wu Liqiang said at the same time.
Liu Xiang walked into the house alone, doing whatever she wanted.
Wang Mazi said, "If someone didn't know, they would think you three were together."
Zhang Cuihua also said, "It seems that's what they meant. Fortunately, my daughter Da Ya left the fire pit early. I'm too embarrassed to say anything about the three of them doing this. It really brings shame to the village."
Li Goudan immediately cursed: "Bullshit."
"Damn, I think they're dirty," Wu Liqiang said with disgust.
"You are the dirty one, your whole family is dirty too. Look for the problem in yourself. You can't even keep a woman. My family is so broke, yet Liu Xiang is still willing to follow me."
"Say it again!"
Wu Liqiang's fist was already extended.
Li Goudan had just woken up from coal poisoning. He was weak all over and was so cowardly that he didn't say a word.
Seeing that there was nothing fun to do, Li Mingqing walked out through the crowd.
I took two steps and suddenly remembered that I hadn’t paid the medical bills yet.
"Li Goudan, consultation fee?"
"I'm in such a plight and you still want money! Do you have any sympathy? After all, we grew up together, naked as children. Besides, you don't need these little things, so why do you have to ask for money?"
"Nonsense, if I don't ask you for money to save your life, who should I ask for money? It's quick."
Li Goudan was reluctant but still took out the crumpled money from his pocket.
Although there were only four, he still counted them carefully twice before giving them to Li Mingqing.
Li Mingqing borrowed some money and left without counting it.
The villagers left one after another.
Li Mingfu warned, "Goudan, don't buy honeycomb coal anymore. Save your money and repair this house. Otherwise, if it collapses next summer due to heavy rainfall, you'll have nowhere to live."
"Let's talk about it later."
Why save money if you don't spend it?
Take one step at a time.
Wait until the house collapses.
When Wang Dazhu’s house collapsed before, he quickly found a place to live.
After everyone left, Wu Liqiang still didn't leave.
"Fifty dollars, take it out quickly."
"You're asking for money, not your life. How shameless! You're taking advantage of someone's misfortune."
