Chapter Eighty-Five: It's All About Survival
The entanglement with Xi Zien stems from the so-called sour wine in her store, so Li Jicai thought that if she went to apologize, it would be two jars of good wine on her back, maybe the other party was originally an alcoholic, and giving him good wine was also to his liking, if the other party was willing to accept and forgive her, it would be the best.
Of course, Li Jicai can't be sure that the person who embarrassed her is Xi Zien, but the other party is in the dark, she is in the light, if she doesn't take the initiative to attack, so Suiyuanju will definitely be destroyed.
That night, Qi Qingchu and Xi Zien obviously ate a lot of the dishes she cooked, drank a lot of wine, and didn't seem to be very dissatisfied with her.
Therefore, it is also possible that other people have their eyes on her shop, and if Xi Zien likes the dishes she makes, if she still wants to eat them in the future, maybe she will have pity and help her.
After all, Xi Zien is the son of Prince Yong, and his status is all there, and he may be the highest status among all the people he knows.
When the people in the store learned that Li Jicai was going to Xifu alone, everyone was unanimously opposed, because they themselves knew that Xi Zien was not such a good-looking person and not so easy to deal with, and they were also afraid that Li Jicai would go to the door to eat the closed-door soup or annoy others, and drag things into a worse situation.
But Li Jicai insisted that if he didn't try it, how would he know that it wasn't feasible?
Of course, the crowd was still against it.
Later, Li Jicai didn't say anything more, but just told a story, and after telling the story, everyone didn't squeak anymore.
Actually, this story comes from a piece of news.
Li Jicai watched TV in modern times and occasionally saw a piece of news.
In fact, it is not a sensational big news, nor is it an international political history, nor is it a celebrity entertainment gossip, nor is it a sensational news.
It's simple, a report about an ordinary person.
It is said that there is a typhoon in the Liangguang region one year, and of course there are typhoons every year, but this year the typhoon is particularly bad.
How powerful is it? Don't say it's a person, the tree will also uproot you and blow away the car for you.
The typhoon was very strong.
The National Meteorological Observatory has issued many warning messages, many warning messages, and many messages asking everyone to pay attention, pay attention to safety, and avoid them in time.
That's right, in addition to those who deliberately run happily in the typhoon day, shoot videos and show off their lives, there are also people who do other things in the typhoon day, they are fatal, and they don't want to die.
Among them is an ordinary middle-aged man, who is a cargo puller, and the lives of the whole family are all put on a light truck.
During the typhoon, light trucks were also overturned.
The ordinary middle-aged man died.
Why did he die?
Because he didn't want his light truck to run away for the typhoon, to be crushed for the typhoon, that was the hope of the whole family, even if it was a typhoon, even if it was a typhoon that was so violent that it was life-threatening, even if he knew that the situation outside was already very dangerous, but this ordinary man still decided to guard his light truck.
So much so that he finally gave his life for this truck, the wind was too strong, he couldn't control the car at all, and finally was crushed to death by the car, yes, that's right, it was his light truck.
It's funny to say that he obviously took this light truck as his life, but he died because of this truck.
When the news report came out, many people were extremely shocked, and when they first found out, they all thought that this man was crazy, knowing how dangerous it was in a typhoon, tall trees could be uprooted, and the roads were destroyed There were many doors that could not be taken out at all, but he could still get into the wind and rain to save his truck.
What is it that is not a problem with the brain?
Later, when the follow-up report of the news continued to follow up, everyone learned that the living conditions of the family were not very good, the old and the young, the wife was sick, and they couldn't make any money.
In the end, the people who started to scold this man for being stupid all shut up.
Because no one is qualified to say how this man is?
People are just ordinary people, people just want to guard the hope of the whole family's life, people just want to keep this family, this ordinary man, what's wrong with saving the truck he depends on for survival in a typhoon?
So in the same way, what is wrong with Li Jicai going to find a family that is almost a heaven and a earth in order to save the Suiyuan residence on which he depends?
That's right, ordinary people, ordinary people, what they can do, even if not a lot, is to the best of their ability.
Of course, when Li Jicai told this story, he changed the light truck to a board car, because the ancient people used board cars.
The ending also says that the farmer and the cart were blown into the water by the wind, and the farmer drowned.
But when he died, he still wanted to save his own board car, and if he didn't save his board car, he would have no money to buy another board car.
When the story was told, the people in the store were almost silent.
They are all people in the market, born in the wilderness, and have lived a life facing the loess with their backs to the sky since they were children.
Even if he came to the capital to make a living later, he still couldn't change what was in his bones.
A kind of inferiority complex for one's own identity, and an acceptance of an ant-like life.
They understand that it's all good to make an extra penny.
Live a life, and only if you can live can you live it.
Poor people are not qualified to think about other things, and poor people are not qualified not to work hard for their own lives.
They also don't want to go out of business with the fate of the house, because in all the past they have worked for, Lee Jicai may be the best boss.
Not only did they pay a lot of good wages, but they also took a lot of care of them, and they rushed to do the dirty work, and they did not treat them as servants at all, but as people who were equal to themselves, which was actually very unimaginable.
Xiao Shunzi is used to being a little second, and he has also run in many other stores, he never thought that one day he would chat with his boss and buddies, brag, and say something that he has or not. He also didn't want to go bankrupt with Yuanju and left Li Jicai.
As for Niu Runze, he is a down-and-out talent, a peasant household, or Li Jicai treats him politely and gives him dignity and decency.
My sister-in-law still has several children to raise, and she doesn't want to lose her job.
After Li Jicai expressed his original intention, he never objected again, and they all understood that Li Jicai sincerely wanted to keep the store.
The road ahead is uncertain.
Suiyuanju closed its door, and less than three days later, Li Jicai boarded the door of Xifu.
To be honest, when he stood in front of the tall and majestic building with two jars of wine, Li Jicai felt that his legs were trembling.
It may be because of some lack of self-confidence and some nervousness, or it may be because I feel that I have ignored the door, or it may be because of various reasons.
Li Jicai's heart was full of hesitation and hesitation.
But, again, she had to bite the bullet and do so.
"Let her wait outside for a while, and I'll go ahead and take a look." The wine hasn't finished yet, so if you are in a hurry, if you ask someone to do something, you will let her dry it for a while.
"Yes, Childe." It seems that these two people are indeed quite familiar, and if there is no post, they can also meet.
Fortunately, he thought about it for a while and felt that he should tell Childe, otherwise it would be his dereliction of duty if he found out in the future.
Well, in fact, there are really not many people who come to do things with their third son.
The third son is famous, which one dares to provoke? In fact, no one wants to provoke him, let alone say that he is here to ask him to do something, no one can figure out the temper of the son, ask him to do something, maybe he will help him.
The butler wiped the sweat from his head, then turned around and bowed his head in salute, then turned around and hurried away.
Li Jicai was standing at the gate of Xi Mansion anxiously waiting, she was not sure if Xi Zien was in the mansion or not, if not, she would run again next time.
There are two jars of good wine in the basket on her back, no matter whether Xi Zien sees her or not, these two jars of wine are to stay, they are all good wines, and she spent a lot of money to buy them.
If Xi Zien doesn't see her this time, then she will still have to bring two jars of good wine next time she comes over, because her impression of Xi Zien is only to stay on her attachment to wine.
She didn't know him at all, and of course she didn't want to know him.
Such a completely difficult person to get along with is much more difficult to deal with than the cold and dusty Qi Qingchu.
If Xi Zien heard Li Jicai's slander against him in his heart, he might be half angry.
About an hour later, Li Jicai went in the morning, the sun was almost noon, and Xi Zien had not yet appeared.
That's right, she didn't show up, so she just let her wait.
If Li Jicai hadn't listened to the housekeeper's words, she would have left a long time ago, and the housekeeper told her that Xi Zien asked her to wait for a while, and she would have come out soon.
It's fast, it's fast.
Li Jicai wondered if Xi Zien did this, he knew that he would come to the door, so he deliberately treated her like this.
Li Jicai was angry in his heart, but he endured it on his face and didn't dare to say it.
Only smiled and waited patiently for Xi Zien to appear.
Really, if one day, the power is overwhelming, she will be so awesome in front of Xi Zien.
By noon, his stomach was already rumbling with hunger, and Li Jicai felt that this dry autumn day was also quite uncomfortable, and he was so panicked that he didn't even have to drink saliva.
The big family is the big family, the street in front of it is clean, the stone slabs seem to have been washed by water, the walls on both sides occupy a street for a long time, the hawkers dare not stay here, the wall is planted with a row of lush green trees, tall and beautiful, of course, it is also very obscured from view, so that people can not see what the scene of this luxurious mansion is.
