The first day of the lunar calendar was originally a time for people to greet each other. After a busy day, everyone would spend the winter in seclusion and have a chance to eat, drink and chat. They would talk about how other families farmed and made money, and try to work hard to make money to make life better at home.
Unexpectedly, after a whole morning of commotion at the Li family, no one said goodbye. After everyone went to the police station, the villagers began to chat in groups of three or two.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Su Li asked Tiedan and Huzi to look after Jinghui and the others. Lidan and Tiedan asked her to send them back to the Li family and inform her if there was any news. She went into the kitchen first to cook lunch.
There was only her and a few children at home, so she just boiled some water, put in some dumplings that she had made on the night of the 30th, and made some garlic juice as a dipping sauce.
Before we finished here, Li Dan and Tie Dan came home. The two children went straight to the main room and saw that only their younger brother and sister were there, so they asked,
"Where's our mother?"
"Our mom is cooking. What's wrong, brother? What's going on at Xiao Ming's house?" Hu Zi asked as he quietly took Jing Yu's rice cake and secretly took a bite. It didn't taste good and he didn't know why the little fool was eating it so happily.
"I'll tell you later. Let's go find our mother first to avoid making her anxious. Don't steal Jingyu's rice cakes to eat. Look how fat you are."
"Oh!" Hu Zi turned his face away guiltily.
After that, the two of them went into the kitchen.
"Mom, are we back?"
Su Li stirred the dumplings with a slotted spoon, "I'm back now. Are you hungry? The dumplings will be ready soon. Do you want anything else to eat? Mom is making some."
"No need, Mom. White flour dumplings are the most delicious. But I want spicy dipping sauce, hehe..." Tiedan said.
"Yeah, let's not eat anything else. Mom is tired, and I also want to eat spicy dipping sauce." Li Dan also agreed.
"Mr. Xiao, I'll make a spicy one later, but don't make it too spicy, or you'll have a stomachache. The dumplings are ready, pass the bowl to mom, it's time to eat."
"Mom, aren't you waiting for Dad?"
"No need to wait. We don't know when he will be back. Let's eat first."
"good."
Su Li, Li Dan and Tie Dan brought the dumplings to the main room. There was room for them to sit in the kitchen, but there was no one to watch over the children, so it was better to eat in the main room.
While eating, Su Li listened to her two sons describing the Li family's affairs in vivid detail. When she heard that Mrs. Li actually wanted a thousand yuan before she was willing to let Li Ni go out alone, she frowned.
Lu Song, Li Ni and Lu Shengqi can pool the money together, but they will be sad for a while. However, Li Ni will take Li Ming with her no matter what, so Mrs. Li will definitely not let Li Ming leave.
After all, he is a grandson. Even if you don't like him, you can't let him go. It seems that the Li family still has some troubles to go.
When Li Dan talked about Li Ming, his heart ached slightly. Although Li Ming's life was not easy, he had a sister who loved him wholeheartedly. When playing with them before, Li Ming said that his sister often secretly brought him delicious food.
My life was so hard, and my own mother never felt sorry for me.
But now it’s different. He has his own parents, his own brothers and sisters, and his own family. With the two little ones coming into this family, he is living the happiest life he has ever had. He has the best food, clothing and other necessities, and is no different from Hu Zi and Shi Tou.
He can also go to school and learn to read, and learn kung fu from his father, which was something he could not even dream of before. He is living a good life, and he also hopes that Li Ming will also live a good life in the future, Li Dan thought.
Xie Zhengchuan didn't come back until the evening.
Both Su Li and the children in the family were waiting for the outcome of the Li family's affair. Xie Zhengchuan took the chopsticks handed over by Su Li and drank a mouthful of noodle soup.
Said: "Li Ni and Mrs. Li have signed a severance agreement, and will send a thousand yuan tomorrow. As for Li Ming, she is determined not to let go."
"I knew this old woman was a bad person, but why did she really give so much money? They beat her up like this, are they just going to let it go?"
Xie Zhengchuan was also angry and said: "This old woman pushed all the blame on Boss Li. He also admitted that he was the one who beat him. It had nothing to do with Boss Li's family. The colleagues at the police station can't do anything about it."
"Hey, I've never seen such a foolish father. He doesn't care about his own child, but loves other people's children wholeheartedly. The key is that this child has no conscience. What about Lu Song? I heard from Li Dan that the Li family sued him for being a hooligan?"
"That's not true. There are so many people from my mother, the factory, and the village who testified that Lu Song was just criticized and educated. That's not true at all."
"That's more or less the case, but it won't be easy for them to stay in the village from now on. Well, there are only Pang Wei and Su Lan in the provincial capital. How about letting Lu Song and Ni come over to help me keep an eye on the factory? I'll feel more at ease."
"You can decide for yourself. You don't need to ask me. Is Ni willing to leave? Li Ming is still here." Xie Zhengchuan said to Su Li.
"Yes! How can I feel at ease with Li Ming alone in Li's house? But Li Ming has been tied up and locked up for so long, so can we just let it go like this?"
"Mr. Li was criticized and educated, and he has to stay in the police station for a month before he can be released. Mrs. Li and her family have also returned, and they don't care whether Mr. Li can come back or not."
Su Li picked up a piece of braised food with chopsticks for Xie Zhengchuan and said, "This family is really cold-hearted. Li Ming is the only one who can live a good life here. If he calls the police, he will be beaten to death when he returns home."
"No, Lu Song took the man to the garment factory. He will sleep with Sheng Ge tonight. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
"Um."
After Su Li and Xie Zhengchuan finished their conversation, Li Dan and the others listened silently. The little guys felt sorry for Li Ming and thought that if anyone from the Li family dared to bully him in the future, they would avenge him.
The next day, Xie Zhengchuan, Xie Zhenghe, Li Waishan and others accompanied Li Ni and Li Ming back to Li's house and gave them one thousand yuan on the spot. When Mrs. Li and Mr. Li's family saw so much money, their eyes lit up. Mrs. Li suddenly felt that she might have asked for too little.
But fortunately, there is still Li Ming, this bastard, in hand. As long as he is still here, there is no need to worry that Li Ni will not give money in the future.
After Li Yani gave the money, she took Lu Song and was about to leave. Li Ming tried to grab her, but she pushed him away.
"Sister, don't you want me anymore?" Li Ming cried.
Li Ni chuckled and said, "Humph, I need you, what do I need you for? I finally left this cannibalistic place, I will leave here tomorrow and never come back, and you can't leave, I can't control you, just stay here."
"Li Ni, you were able to leave with my help, you can't just ignore me."
"I can't control you. If I control you, I will be sucked dry and never make a name for myself. You should just stay at home from now on!"
Li Zhenni pulled Lu Song out of the room. No matter how Li Ming cried and shouted, she didn't even look back. Old Mrs. Li glanced at them and wondered in her heart, could it be that Li Zhenni really didn't care about Li Ming anymore?
No, maybe he's just putting on a show for her.
After Xie Zhengchuan and his companions left, Mrs. Li's family discussed the matter for a long time and they all felt relieved that it was impossible for Li Mei Ni to ignore Guan Ming.
After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the garment factory started working on the eighth day. Su Li gave everyone a red envelope of ten yuan as a start. No matter how much money was given, Su Li thought it was a good start, but the workers were extremely happy. This was free money given to them, and they would get their wages again in ten days or so. With the blessing of money, everyone worked very hard.
A month later, Pang Wei and Su Lan went to the provincial capital, this time with Su Li. After they got familiar with the place, Su Li came back. Pang Wei handed over the work on hand to Zhang Lai, and Lu Song was still in charge of transporting the goods.
But Su Li had already informed him and Li Zheni in advance and would have them go to the provincial capital in a month.
The work in the garment factory has also been arranged.
Mrs. Li and her family planned to let Li Ming ask Li Zhenni for money. Because of this incident, they did not dare to beat Li Ming for a month. On the one hand, the police station had warned them, and Li Waishan would often come to see Li Ming, so they did not dare. On the other hand, they thought that if they did not beat Li Ming, Li Zhenni would give them money for this reason.
But it seemed they were wrong, because not only did Li Ming not get a penny, he was also slapped in the face by Li Meini.
Li Ming cried a lot at home, ate the most, did no work, never changed his clothes, and was sloppy. As time went on, he became really disgusting.
The news that Li Ni was leaving Shanghe Village somehow got out, and Mrs. Li started to panic. Not only would she not get paid, but she would also have to pay for food and drinks every day. Li Ming was not as stupid as Mrs. Li, who dared to do anything.
After a discussion, the Li family found Xie Zhenghe to separate Li Ming and let him live with Li Zheni. Li Zheni refused to go, but Li Ming held on to her and refused to leave. Finally, Li Zheni and Lu Song took Li Ming and Lu Shengqi away from Shanghe Village and went to the provincial capital, where no one could see them. Li Zheni and Li Ming hugged each other tightly and cried bitterly.
