After the two old men left, Niuniu said, "Dad, why don't I bring back all the notebooks I've used in the future? We still have a lot at home in the county town."
"Okay, I'll bring it back next time I go home."
Li Mingqing respects her ideas very much.
Niuniu added, "Dad, in another year the villagers will definitely be able to use brand new white paper or toilet paper. This time when I came back, I could clearly see that the old men and women were beaming with joy."
"My daughter, I didn't expect you to be so observant."
"That's necessary. It's up to you. It's good for observation. I think the villagers can afford it now, but I think every penny saved is a penny earned. There's no need to waste money."
Li Mingqing was delighted to hear this.
Daughters are great, they are like caring little cotton-padded jackets.
Xiaohong and Xiaozhe would definitely not say such words. Adolescent boys are at the age when they think they are the most powerful person in the world.
Li Goudan and Liu Xiang came over.
The two of them hesitated, looking as if they wanted to say something but stopped.
Soon, Zhang Cuihua came over with a basket.
Li Mingqing said bluntly: "What's the matter with you guys? You look like you're here to cause trouble."
"What are you talking about? We wouldn't do such a thing during the New Year. I came to you today to ask when the money for the last food delivery will be paid. To be honest, my family is counting on this money to buy New Year's goods."
Zhang Cuihua spoke with tears in her eyes, and her acting was very realistic.
Wang Daguo hurried over and said embarrassedly: "Mingqing, my mother is old and confused, don't take what she said to heart."
After he said that, he pulled Zhang Cuihua aside.
"Mom, how could you do such a thing? It's so chilling."
"This is our hard-earned money. How can we buy it on credit during the New Year? We don't do things this way." Zhang Cuihua said unconvinced.
If Li Goudan hadn't told her, she would have thought the bill was settled.
After working for half a day and still not settling the bill, she immediately followed Li Goudan and Liu Xiang over.
"Mom, why are you so confused? Mingqing must be so disappointed by what you said. If it weren't for Mingqing, the village wouldn't be in such a good situation."
He didn't know what to say.
The old lady is getting more and more confused as she gets older. She doesn't even realize that she is being used as a tool.
Liu Goudan said embarrassedly: "Auntie, what you said makes sense. It's almost the New Year, and the accounts that need to be settled must be settled."
"Wait a moment."
Li Mingqing had already prepared the last payment when he was in the county town.
Later he would go to Li Xiangjun's house to give him the money and ask him to settle the debt.
He didn't interfere.
Liu Xiang immediately came up and said, "Can't you give it to me now? I need the money urgently. You're not planning to give it to me next year, are you? That wouldn't be nice."
After hearing this, Li Mingqing frowned.
I really thought he had no temper.
"Don't you understand me? When did I say wait until next year? I meant wait a while. If you're deaf, go to the hospital. Don't be disgusting here during the New Year."
Li Goudan and Liu Xiang's expressions changed instantly.
He really didn't give them any face at all, he just asked a few more questions.
"Ming Qing, you——"
Li Goudan had just said a few words when he saw Li Mingqing slam the door shut.
Wang Daguo said angrily, "Goudan, tell me what you're thinking. Don't you know what kind of people Ming and Qing are? You even instigated my mother to come here and used her as a pawn. You're thirty or forty years old and still so out of touch."
"Ask yourself, aren't you anxious?"
"Don't worry, didn't you hear Ming Qing say that he would settle the bill later?" Wang Daguo said, pulling Zhang Cuihua away. "Mom, hurry home and steam the buns."
Zhang Cuihua immediately realized that she was being used as a pawn.
She cursed angrily, "You two bastards, how dare you treat me as a target? I think you are tired of living. You set a trap for me because I am too old to react. Are there people like you? You are so rotten that you should be lucky not to be kicked out of the village."
Liu Xiang put her hands on her hips and retorted:
"Everyone in the village knows that you're not a good person. Why are you pretending? I just said something and you stormed over to the Li family in anger. You're greedy for money and disrespectful to your elders."
"How dare you say that to me, you slut! In the past, you would have been thrown into a pig cage."
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Li Goudan grabbed Liu Xiang and left.
Are you kidding me? How could they start a quarrel right in front of Li Mingqing's house? If they did, Li Mingqing would have to come out and slap them both.
I can't afford to offend you.
The reason why I came to ask for money was because I had no money.
Anyone with money would not do such a thing.
Liu Xiang took all the money she had earned back to her mother's home, and her brother was beaten up.
The injury was quite serious and required surgery and hospitalization, which cost a lot of money.
Liu Xiang's brothers came to the village together to ask for money. They had to give it to him, and they dared to beat people up for the money.
In order to save his own life, he had to take out the money.
Liu Xiang knew that he was in the wrong and wanted to keep a low profile for the next few days.
Wang Daguo helplessly pulled Zhang Cuihua home.
"Mom, take good care of me at my age. Don't worry about anything else. Daya and I will take care of the family affairs. Don't worry about it."
"How can that be? Your Uncle Wu and I are in good health," Zhang Cuihua said unwillingly.
"Uncle Wu stretched his back while trying to move rocks last time and it's still not fully healed. You two should just rest."
It is better not to help, so as not to make things worse.
"No, look at your Uncle Li and Aunt Li. They are the ones who run the restaurant opened by Ming Qing. They are well organized. I am much better than them."
Wang Daguo said nothing more.
There is no way to communicate, so just take it one step at a time and don't be too outrageous.
In fact, there is no such thing as retirement care for the elderly in the village.
