Chapter 64: Money-mongering
Duan Wen thought that they were fishing today, but it was just a small fight, so he and Xue Danfeng made the seasoning of the hot tofu and the soy milk with Xue Danfeng early.
He didn't expect that they would "beat" so much money back when they went!
Xiangqin left five hundred for Nanyuan, and went to give her second grandfather Duan Wu another thousand, and explained to him the origin of the money.
Immediately afterwards, she went to Duan Hao's house and handed over the remaining 1,000 yuan to Duan Hao's father Duan Laicai.
After that, Parsley had a meal, was pressing tofu, and caught up with Ermao to call her in the South Courtyard.
"Parsley, you can't go over yet, if you want to go, let's go all the way." Ermao's face was filled with joy, and he really responded to the sentence "People are in good spirits when they are happy".
"You go first, I'll wait for the tofu to be pressed before I go over." Xiangqin agreed to send food to Duan Xiang and them, and this ready-made hot tofu was their lunch.
"Then I'll wait for you." Ermao parked his bicycle by the wall of the south courtyard and sat at the door of the hall and chatted with Duan Wen for a while, nothing more than to show off the fruits of their labor by the Honghe River today.
After the tofu was pressed, Ermao helped carry the basket onto the tricycle, and when he and Xiangqin left, Duan Wen did not forget to tell this and that, looking very worried.
When they arrived at the Honghe River again, Xiangqin beckoned Duan Xiang and them one by one to come over to eat hot tofu. Although hot tofu can't be eaten as a meal, at least she can keep them full.
Xiangqin was originally a rice delivery, but some people in Lijia Village mistakenly thought that she was here to sell hot tofu. I don't know who went to Lijia Village, and the news that Xiangqin came to the river embankment to "sell hot tofu" reached Li Laosan's house.
Li Laosan didn't come in person, but it was Li Rong who came with the old lady of the Li family on crutches.
Li Rong and Mrs. Li arrived in front of Xiangqin, and they both smiled so beautifully, they looked too fake and disgusting.
Seeing that Xiangqin didn't say hello, and even ignored them, Li Rong spoke cheekily first, "Xiangqin, are you earning money now, and you won't give your grandmother money to spend?" ”
Xiangqin sneered softly, and then glanced at the lacquer-red crutch in Mrs. Li's hand that was polished into the shape of a bamboo knot, when she was greeted by that crutch before, no one said that she had a grandmother!
"Don't you recognize relatives indiscriminately, where did my grandmother Duan Xiangqin come from?" Parsley deliberately emphasizes her current surname.
Li Rong and Mrs. Li glanced at each other, and their faces were not good-looking.
Li Rong always forced a smile and looked flattering to Xiangqin, "I heard what a big fish you caught today, how much did you sell it?" ”
Li Rong is really "money".
Xiangqin still has a cold attitude towards them, "The big boss who sold it to you, why don't you ask him?" ”
Li Rong's face was a little ugly, and her voice was much quieter than Fang Cai, but she looked a little arrogant, "I'll quit the job in the Hong Hotel." ”
Xiangqin snorted disdainfully, according to her, it was not Li Rong who took the initiative to resign, but the Hong family expelled her!
Li Rong was even more embarrassed, and her face was hot. She secretly gave Mrs. Li a look, and forcibly pulled her old man to Parsley.
Mrs. Li is a hunchback, always hunched over, and when talking to people she is not used to, she always wants to straighten her body and hold it strongly, so that others feel uncomfortable for her.
Mrs. Li pressed her crutches with both hands, and said bitterly to Xiangqin, "Xiangqin, no matter how our Li family treated you before, you are also so big in our parents." You're developed now, you can't pat your ass, leave us behind, aren't you? Even if you don't honor your father, you can't leave me and your grandfather, whether it's old man or not. ”
Listening to the tone of her speech, it was like reciting a text, dry, and Parsley immediately realized that someone must have taught the old lady behind her back.
Xiangqin swept at her coldly, "This old lady, it doesn't work to rely on the old man and sell the old man here, so please go back." ”
Duan Yongyuan rested under the embankment of the river, and saw that Xiangqin was entangled by the Li family's people again, so he dropped the fishing net and went to it.
He glanced at Li Rong and Mrs. Li, and knew that Li Rong was Xiangqin's second aunt, and he could guess who the old lady next to her was Xiangqin.
"What are they doing with you again?" Duan Yongyuan, like Parsley, is not very fond of the people of the Li family.
"It's not like you're trying to rip money." Parsley said.
Li Rong narrowed her smile, a trace of anger appeared between her eyebrows, and she didn't speak so lowly, "Money? Parsley, why do you say so badly? Your grandmother asked you for a few dollars to spend, shouldn't you? ”
"Let me ask you, how much money did you give Parsley when she was left at your house?" Duan Yongyuan saw that Li Rong and the old lady couldn't answer, so he waved his hand to drive them away, and said impatiently, "You two better leave quickly." ”
The smile on Li Rong's face disappeared completely, and her eyes widened and stared back and forth at Xiangqin and Duan Yongyuan.
Duan Yongyuan looked at an honest look, and it didn't seem vague at all. The scene where he fought in a group at the intersection before was deeply engraved in Li Rong's mind.
Mrs. Li didn't know about this, thinking that Duan Yongyuan was easy to bully, so she rolled her eyes at him angrily, "I'm talking to my granddaughter, what's in your way?" ”
"It's just in my way!" Duan Yongyuan took a step forward and scared Mrs. Li and Li Rong into cringe, "Xiangqin is now from our Duanjiazhuang, and it has nothing to do with your Li Family Village!" If you want her back, you'll have to ask if we agree! ”
Duan Yongyuan protected her so much, and Parsley was naturally moved.
She pulled Duan Yongyuan back, "Don't talk to them so much. ”
They're here to fish, not to fight.
If it really starts like the last fight, Lijia Village is not far from the east end of the river embankment, and the speed at which the troops are moved is not ordinarily fast.
However, whether Li Rong can still call a group of people over like last time, Xiangqin is deeply skeptical.
Li Rong's tone softened, "We don't want to take Xiangqin back, Xiangqin can also be put on your village, just show it to her grandparents every month, and it will mean as much as it means." ”
"And said that it wasn't for money!" Duan Yongyuan sneered.
Xiangqin pulled Duan Yongyuan again, "Don't bother with them, the more you pay attention to their faces, the more they kick your nose in the face!" ”
To this day, of course, it is impossible for the Li family to say that they want her back.
Li Rong divorced Tian Xuezhi and took Tian Jingjing to live in her parents' house. Then in Li Laosan's house, how can there be a spare space for parsley!
Unless they still want parsley to sleep in the old place, the sheepfold!
Duan Xiang paid attention to the situation on the river embankment, and shouted below: "Yongzi, Xiangqin, what are the people from Lijia Village doing again?"
Li Rong saw that at the bottom of the embankment, most of them were a group of people who had participated in the group fight that day, and couldn't help but show a look of fear, and hurriedly hugged Mrs. Li and whispered, "Mother, let's go back!"
Mrs. Li was reluctant, her eyes were swirling around the tofu basket on the tricycle, swallowing her saliva, and raising her eyes to look at Parsley, "Parsley, the hot tofu you made, give grandma a taste." ”
"If you want to eat, you can pay for it, you give me five cents, and I'll give you a big bowl." Parsley knows what the old lady is like, even if she gives her a big bargain, her old man is reluctant to pay a penny.
Mrs. Li was reluctant, and she didn't get any benefit from Li Rong, so she left in a huff.
