Chapter 576: Why
And the slight movement of the fingers of the man wrapped in bandages in the shape of a mummy did not attract the attention of Li Ren and his granddaughter Reiko Yamashita.
After talking about the interesting things that happened recently for a while, Reiko Yamashita said obediently and sensibly:
"Grandpa, I'm going to get ready to cook, and I'll do my homework later!"
"Well, okay, grandpa also went to sort out the fishing nets, and there wasn't much to catch today!"
"There's no way around it, but it's a good thing to save someone today, and the gods in the sky would be happy if they knew! Grandpa, I'm going to cook......"
Reiko Yamashita smiled sweetly, then put away her schoolbag and went to cook next to her.
And looking at his granddaughter's well-behaved and sensible appearance, Li Ren was relieved and distressed.
The children of poor families are in charge of the family at an early age.
They have two grandchildren, and they are in this poor and poor small fishing village of Akai Village, and the prosperity of the East Ying Kingdom is a matter of big cities, and it has nothing to do with the people of their small fishing village in the corner of Hokkaido.
But fortunately, her granddaughter Reiko is so sensible, otherwise after losing her son and wife one after another, Li Ren didn't know if she could survive.
"I don't have much catch today, I have to work hard tomorrow, and I don't know how long my old bones can last, at least until Reiko grows up......."
Li Ren beat his sore back, he is now in his sixties, and he also worked as a coolie in his early years, and he was injured and exhausted.
Today, I carried a rather burly adult man home, and I almost didn't let him get down in one breath along the way.
Li Ren glanced at the man lying on his bed, dressed in wound medicine and wrapped in layers of bandages, which was already his greatest ability.
"Alas, the injury is too serious, I don't know if I can survive, I hope the gods will bless me......"
Li Ren sighed, and immediately went out to tidy up the fishing nets and fishing gear, which was what he and his granddaughter relied on for survival.
Inside the house, Reiko Yamashita carefully washed the rice, made dumplings, and took out some salted fish and vegetables, which were their food.
Grandpa Li Ren is a good fisherman, in fact, their living conditions should be better, but grandpa hopes that Reiko Yamashita can read well, so he spends a lot of money to let Reiko Yamashita go to Nara High School, the best high school nearby, hoping that she can be admitted to a public university.
Private universities are simply too expensive for them to afford.
Only public universities with scholarships and subsidies can afford it.
Reiko Yamashita also works very hard, her grades are very good, although she looks sweet and cute, and has a gentle personality, many people want her to confess, but she always focuses on studying.
"If you get admitted to a good university, Reiko will be able to help her grandfather......"
After Reiko Yamashita prepared the meal, she took a look at her grandfather who was still outside sorting out the fishing nets and fishing gear, and those grandfathers never let her interfere, saying that it was very dirty, so Reiko couldn't force it.
Reiko Yamashita went back to the house and glanced at the mummy-like man next to her, bit her lip, and then beat a few eggs and made a bowl of egg drop soup.
"Eggs are very nutritious, I hope you can get better soon......"
Reiko Yamashita carefully fed the egg drop soup, the solid rice balls and fish meat must not be eaten, and only in this way can some egg drop soup and white porridge be instilled in front of him, and it is definitely not possible to eat without eating.
"Okay......"
After working for a while, after feeding this person, Reiko Yamashita showed a smile full of accomplishment, stuck out her tongue, and suddenly frowned:
"Why hasn't Grandpa come back yet......"
Reiko Yamashita is about to go out and have a look.
It's just that, at this time, there was a sound of argument outside.
"It's too much, why, why aren't we allowed to fish next month?"
But it was the voice of Grandpa Li Ren.
At this time, Li Ren's old face turned red, and he was arguing with the person opposite.
Reiko Yamashita secretly watched and recognized who the person opposite was.
That's a bastard villain in their small fishing village of Akai Village, named Taro Akai!
His face was full of flesh, tall and burly, and his exposed arms and back were covered with large patches of colorful demon tattoos.
This is the worst and worst guy in their Akai Village, I heard that there is an elder brother who is very powerful, and no one in the vicinity of Akai Village dares to provoke him.
Reiko Yamashita often finds that this person looks at her like a vicious wolf, trying to eat her.
Grandpa also kept Reiko Yamashita away from the person.
Taro Akai was followed by Matsushima Tiger and Izushitazawa these little gangsters, one by one holding baseball bats, Reiko was afraid that her grandfather would have an accident, so she couldn't help but lean forward and expose herself to the door.
"Hehe, Lao Tzu has contracted this sea area, and the fish here will be mine in the future, if you want to fish, unless you give money, don't think about it!"
"Old thing, I'm here to remind you, if you dare to fish next month, then don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite!"
Akai Taro's face trembled, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he glared at Li Ren viciously, and then took his younger brothers to the fisherman's house next to him to warn.
Before leaving, Taro Akai's gaze swept over the pretty and pale Reiko Yamashita, and there was a scorching light of greed in his eyes.
"Gods, why don't you take these bastards away......"
Seeing Akai Taro and others threatening the nearby fishermen one by one, Li Ren was so angry that he stomped his feet again and again and scolded.
"Grandpa, what's going on?"
Reiko Yamashita walked over tremblingly and asked cautiously.
Seeing the arrival of his granddaughter, Li Ren's face changed and said:
"Reiko, didn't grandpa say not to appear in front of Taro Akai and those people? Those people are not good stuff! ”
"Mm-hmm, grandpa, Reiko knows......"
Hearing his granddaughter nodding again and again, Li Ren breathed a sigh of relief, and then said helplessly, sadly and angrily:
"Taro Akai said that they have contracted the nearby waters, and the fishing grounds here are theirs, and we are not allowed to fish here! If you want to fish, you need to pay them 200,000! One month! ”
"Two hundred thousand a month?"
Hearing this, Reiko Yamashita covered her small mouth, her eyes widened, and she was surprised.
Although the currency of Dongying Country is not very valuable, 200,000 yuan is already equivalent to the average monthly income of young people in Dongying Kingdom.
Grandpa worked hard to fish, and there wasn't much in a month, and if he handed over 200,000 yuan, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to afford to eat.
And in the event of hurricanes and earthquakes, it is even more difficult to catch fish.
Where can you afford the cost of 2.4 million yuan a year?
At this moment, the fisherman uncle Yamamoto Shuman next to him also came over and scolded angrily:
"Yes, those extreme villains of Akai Taro don't give us these fishermen in Akai Village a way to live at all......"
