Lu Yuanhang's voice is actually not loud, but it spreads very quickly.

When Lu Yuanhang said that he had paid for it, the whole village seemed to become silent.

Eight thousand yuan is indeed not a small amount for these lower-class people living in small villages, even in 2020.

Lu Jiaping's face turned a little solemn.

Lu Jiaqi stopped crying, but she looked at Lu Yuanhang vividly.

But to be honest, eight thousand yuan is a real small amount of money for Lu Yuanhang now. It would cost more than eight thousand yuan to buy a set of underwear for his wife.

However, Lu Yuanhang is not a good person. The reason why he thought of filling the eight thousand yuan hole for Lu Jiaping was because he vaguely remembered that when he was a child, Lu Xue was bullied to tears by people from the next village. Lu Yuanhang couldn't beat them.

It was Lu Jiaping who suddenly appeared, and the two of them beat the baby until it cried for father and mother.

In fact, this is not a big deal to Lu Yuanhang now, but eight thousand yuan is also not a big deal to Lu Yuanhang.

"Dahang, you are stupid for nothing. If you pay him back the money, he will not be able to pay you back." A kind person in the village glanced at Lu Jiaping, who had a solemn expression, and reminded Lu Yuanhang.

"It's all Dahang, even if you have money, it's not because of the strong wind."

"What Erwa said makes sense. If you think about it again, it will be in vain!"

"…………"

People around were talking a lot and kindly reminded Lu Yuanhang.

The reason for this situation is that Lu Yuanhang's grandfather has always been very prestigious in the village, and the two old brothers, Lu Dayou and Lu Dalin, often help the villagers.

To be honest, Lu Yuanhang felt chilled by this kind reminder.

But in the end, people do it for their own good.

Lu Yuanhang just smiled and waved to the people who reminded him. He did not speak, but looked directly at the gangster leader.

"Really?" The little gangster didn't expect that it was Lu Yuanhang who opened the mouth, and his expression was a little unbelievable. It wasn't that he didn't believe that Lu Yuanhang didn't have the money, but he didn't expect that Lu Yuanhang would pay for such a person.

"I don't even bother to lie to you." Lu Yuanhang looked calm.

The gangster leader couldn't catch Lu Yuanhang's direct gaze, and tilted his head towards Lu Jiaping who was behind Lu Yuanhang, with a complicated look on his face, "Jiaping, since Brother Tao is willing to stand up for you, then our grudges will be wiped out. However, from now on,

, our previous relationship is considered broken."

Lu Jiaping's expression remained calm, but the twitching at the corners of his eyes showed that he was not calm inside, and his eyes revealed a tiredness, "Yeah."

Lu Yuanhang watched this scene with interest flashing in his eyes. He felt that the gangster standing in front of him had some so-called gangsterism.

"What's your name?" Lu Yuanhang suddenly asked this little gangster.

"Dou Hai, from the next village." Dou Hai, the gangster, said in a low voice, and then glanced at Lu Yuanhang with a hint of vigilance in his eyes, "Scan my WeChat or cash?"

Dou Hai's directness stunned Lu Yuanhang.

However, Lu Yuanhang then nodded and smiled: "I'll forward the WeChat message to you." After saying this, Lu Yuanhang took out his phone and clicked on WeChat in the app.

Lu Yuanhang's mobile phone has been updated. In order to make Lu Yuanhang look good, Zhang Min specially bought Lu Yuanhang as a Spring Festival gift, the latest model of Fruit 13, which feels good in the hand.

Dou Hai was unambiguous. He took out his two- or three-year-old domestic mobile phone and opened WeChat. However, the response of his phone was extremely slow. The phone froze in his hand for a long time before WeChat popped up.

It took another four or five seconds before the WeChat payment QR code popped up. Dou Hai embarrassedly put his phone under Lu Yuanhang's phone.

"bite."

After a soft sound, Lu Yuanhang did some operations, and then said to Dou Hai: "The money has been paid to you. You two are clear. You can go. This year, don't let me see you in our village."

What Lu Yuanhang said was also a bit gangsterish. It was like a child fighting with the next village. No matter which village the children lost, they would always say this.

One year is the term.

"Why?" Of course the little gangster knew this unwritten rule. Although he was a little scared of Lu Yuanhang, he was still a little dissatisfied.

"Just because you hit a woman." Lu Yuanhang glared at him and waved his hands in disgust, "Hurry up and take the money to buy medicine for your mother."

Dou Hai also wanted to explain that he did not hit Lu Jiaqi. After all, Dou Hai and Lu Jiaping had a good relationship in the past, otherwise he would not have given the eight thousand yuan unequivocally. Dou Hai treated Lu Jiaqi just like his sister.

However, when he heard Lu Yuanhang said that his old mother who was sick in bed was waiting for him at home, Dou Hai quickly came to his senses, greeted the few brats who were following him to collect debts, and turned around to leave.

After taking two steps, Dou Hai suddenly turned around and looked at Lu Yuanhang.

Lu Yuanhang raised his eyebrows, but felt a little confused.

Dou Hai had a complex expression on his face. After a while, he said in a half-baked Mandarin: "Thank you."

Then Dou Hai took a complicated look at Lu Jiaqi, who was standing behind Lu Jiaping, and said, "You said something wrong. I can hit anyone, but I won't hit her."

Lu Yuanhang was startled for a moment, nodded vaguely understanding, then reacted, glanced at Dou Hai, "Hurry up and remember it for one year."

"Don't worry." Dou Hai nodded solemnly and waved to the little brats he had accepted: "Let's go."

Dou Hai was very energetic when he came, but he was not calm when he left, just a little blushing.

After several people walked out of the village.

"Brother Hai, why did you call that guy Brother Tao just now? Is it because he has a peach heart?" A delinquent young man with red hair behind Dou Hai stepped forward and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Dou Hai glanced at the boy and said, "You haven't watched TV this year?"

"without."

"Where's Douyin?"

"You know I don't even have a cell phone."

Dou Hai was speechless. He sighed and didn't look at the kid. He just walked forward with his head. He took out a pack of ten-dollar cigarettes from his pocket, took out a few and handed them to the kid who asked the question.

, indicating that he would share it with the remaining people.

Dou Hai also lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, exhaled the smoke, coughed slightly, and said, "Then you should know what the word "star" means, right?"

"I definitely know this." The junior high school kid glanced at Dou Hai dissatisfied.

"That Brother Tao is a big star." Dou Hai didn't look at the expression on the child's face. He sighed and continued: "Don't ask about anything else. In short, don't go to Luzhuang'er this year."

"Yeah." The little kids nodded.

Dou Hai didn't pay much attention to them. He dispersed the group of children as soon as he arrived in the village. He got on his bicycle and hurried to the county hospital to buy a few boxes of medicine and hurried home.

On the way home, Dou Hai thought of what happened in the afternoon, and Lu Yuanhang's face appeared in his mind, with complicated eyes, "Brother Tao, I owe you a big favor."

Then he laughed at himself and said, "I don't know if you like it or not."

…………

Lu Yuanhang looked at the empty house.

It's very neat and tidy, and it's cleaned frequently. But except for a bed, there's not even a table or bench in this room.

Lu Jiaping sat at the head of the bed, and Lu Yuanhang sat at the end of the bed.

Lu Jiaqi was still standing aside.

After looking around, Lu Yuanhang revealed a wry smile on his face.

When he was a child, he visited Lu Jiaping's home once. Lu Jiaping's father was still alive at that time, and the most valuable color TV in the village was very impressive.

The decoration of Lu Jiaping's home at that time left a big shock to Lu Yuanhang.

But now, there is nothing left in the house except a lonely bed.

"Not even a bench?" Lu Yuanhang sighed softly.

"Sold." Lu Jiaping was expressionless and his tone was numb.

"How much is the bench worth?" Lu Yuanhang's eyes widened.

"Three yuan and a half." Lu Jiaping still had the same plain poker face.

"Are you so short of money?" Lu Yuanhang smiled bitterly.

When he was short of money, he couldn't even sell the bench at home. He really couldn't understand Lu Jiaping's thinking.

I still remember that when I was young, Lu Jiaping was the most generous among the people in his childhood. He had five yuan of pocket money every day. Five yuan at that time was an astronomical figure in the eyes of Lu Yuanhang at that time.

"I'm sorry for Dou Hai." Lu Jiaping did not answer Lu Yuanhang's words. He remained expressionless, as if it was difficult to make waves in his heart.

After Lu Yuanhang heard Lu Jiaping's words, a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He did not expect that Lu Jiaping would say such words.

Just now outside the door, he looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

"What's going on?" Lu Yuanhang couldn't hold back his curiosity after all.

Lu Jiaping raised his eyelids, glanced at Lu Yuanhang, and cast his eyes on the timid face of Lu Jiaqi. Even though his face was still expressionless, there was a hint of bitterness in the corner of his mouth.

Lu Jiaping was silent for a while and moved his lips.

"My father passed away early, and my mother also died due to illness. In order to treat my mother's illness, Dou Hai didn't even say a word, but he gave me 8,000 yuan without blinking an eye."

Lu Yuanhang also fell silent, his mood a little heavy, quietly waiting for Lu Jiaping's next words.

"I was working in other places at that time, and Dou Hai was taking care of my mother in the hospital for me." Speaking of this, Lu Jiaping laughed at himself, "I found out later that Dou Hai had lent me the 8,000 yuan from a loan shark.

."

Lu Yuanhang was stunned. Dou Hai's gangster appearance appeared in his mind.
