Chapter 87
Robbery
Li Shengcai was stunned and looked at his hands. He was angry just now and didn't really want to hit the child. He didn't know what to do, so he held his head and rubbed his hair.
Dong Lamei's clothes were in disarray and his face was stained. He escaped from the attack by the two sisters and ran to the kitchen shed to vent his anger and smashed them all. He then said: "Don't expect us to support you if you are wronged here in the future."
He walked out bravely, as if he had won a battle.
Li Qiao chased after him: "Three porcelain bowls are 15 cents, iron pot is 12 cents, and chopsticks are 5 cents. The porcelain basin is 95 cents, and the swill bucket is 2 cents. The total is 3.6 cents. When I finish my work, I will pay your debt."
Dong Lamei: "See if I will give you money!" Wait until she comes back with her people.
…
Li Qiao turned around and went home, sending away the neighbors who came to join in the fun, and then asked the eldest sister and the second sister's family to go back.
The eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law took the initiative to stay and help.
Li Qiao agreed after thinking about it. It would be more convenient for her to do things with them.
After a while, Feng Fugui came back and told Li Qiao that the body had to be left at home for a month before being buried.
He has ordered the coffin and will be buried after the first seven days.
He also found out about her talisman, which was used to ward off ghosts.
Li Qiao secretly wondered, Li Jinhua put the ghost-repelling charm in her pillow, did he think she was a ghost?
This matter is not over yet!
In the evening, a group of social young people came to the house and said they were Qin Jin's good brothers.
After entering the house, they offered incense and visited Mrs. Qin. Each one called her grandma and promised to take care of her in her old age.
This coaxed Mrs. Qin to smile and she felt much better.
Before leaving, the leader put down a stack of money and handed it to Li Qiao: "Sister-in-law, I hope you can accept this little donation from brothers."
Li Qiao was so moved that he cried. Others always said that Qin Jin was not doing his job properly, but something happened to him, and it was his former good brothers who came to help him.
But those who thought they were good for him and taught him words made them worse.
She needed the money, but she didn't hesitate. She thanked her and accepted it, promising to return it as soon as possible.
"Sister-in-law, you're welcome. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."
Li Qiao nodded solemnly.
A group of people were about to leave the yard, Feng Kui said: "Daniu, why didn't Liu Er from your village come with you?" Usually, that guy likes to stick to A Jin the most.
"Liu Er's father said he didn't know where he died and he was homeless for half a month."
Li Qiao's heart suddenly moved: "Didn't he go on a long trip with A Jin?"
"What? He and A Jin went on a long trip. A Jin is here, but where are the others? They won't be washed away by the flood, right? I have to go back to Liu's house to report the news." Daniel ran away.
Li Qiao glanced at the person lying on the ground out of the corner of his eye.
Is that really Qin Jin?
She didn't feel any heartache when she saw the other person. She would only feel sad when someone else said it.
But if this person is not Ah Jin, why is he on the road closest to their village?
I also bought a new bicycle.
Where did it go?
Li Qiao returned to the old lady distraught.
When there were only two people left in the room, the old lady sighed and said: "Qiaoqiao, you shouldn't have broken up with your parents. They are now at fault. As time goes by, your mother will think it's you who don't understand the situation when she goes out."
Know good from evil."
"I don't care what others say, let's leave here as soon as I'm admitted to college. Then we'll be clean."
Old Mrs. Qin choked with sobs and responded: "Good girl, I'm dragging you down."
"Grandma, don't say that." Li Qiao tried his best to comfort her.
Old Mrs. Qin was injected with strength in her heart and gained some confidence in survival: "I will take a good rest now to recover my body and take care of the housework. You can relax."
"Yeah!" Li Qiao was sleeping next to Mrs. Qin.
Just as I was fascinated, I heard the sound of crying and mourning outside.
It was Liu Er's parents and daughter-in-law. They came into the room and saw Qin Jin, and Liu Er started crying.
"You brat, why did you go out and hang out with the second-rate people again? When someone dies, they leave a body, but where is your body? How do you want your wife to live in the future... The family car also ran away. From now on we..."
Li Qiao went out.
"Uncle and aunt, you are here."
"When did you find out about this person?" Mother Liu said, wiping her tears.
Li Qiao didn't want to describe it.
The people around her answered on her behalf, and Liu Er's family listened and hurriedly notified the brigade to help find the body.
Li Qiao went back to the house and stayed with the old lady for a while, then walked to the window of his room to look at the people on the ground.
Tears welled up in her eyes again. She didn't want to believe it was him. She didn't dare to continue watching, so she went back to the old lady's house again and sat there dryly until dark. She fell asleep at some point, and when she woke up it was pitch black outside.
Planning to go to the latrine, I walked into the alley and met Feng Ben next door.
"I haven't slept yet." Feng Ben took the initiative to talk.
Li Qiao kept a straight face and said nothing, and the eldest sister told her behind her back that she was a widow now and could not give any man a good look, in case they thought she was unwilling to be lonely and wanted to hook up with them.
She passed him and walked straight away.
Feng Ben looked back at her before leaving.
Li Qiao didn't sleep much in the second half of the night. She got up in the dark and counted the knitting.
Nearly two hundred of them need to be sent to the supply and marketing cooperative as soon as possible to be exchanged for money.
…
Early the next morning, she asked Feng Fugui to handle the matter.
After a rain.
The morels in the yard are growing well. Fortunately, the old lady put up a fence around them, so they wouldn't be trampled by outsiders early in the morning.
She collected the mushrooms and put them in a dustpan to dry.
Feng Kui quietly told him that A Jin asked him to collect a lot of it, but now he has it in his hands and doesn't know what to do.
"Did A Jin tell you how much money he would give you?"
"This" Feng Kui hesitated.
Li Qiao: "Don't worry, I will do this." Money still has to be earned, otherwise how can she study? She and Mrs. Qin can't do farm work, and they can't survive without extra money.
"Ten yuan for a pound."
Li Qiao felt more and more that Qin Jin was righteous. She only gave people a few cents, but he opened his mouth and asked for ten yuan. Why did such a good person die? She suppressed the surge of sadness. "Dry it and take it over, wait for me I changed the money and settled the bill for you."
"Not in a hurry."
At this time, a group of men broke in outside, and they were very aggressive.
She didn't recognize him at first, but when she saw Dong Lamei behind her, she understood instantly.
She brought her own people here to tie her up.
The man in the lead is estimated to be 1.6 meters tall.
With a sinister look on his face, his eyes lit up when he saw her.
Dong Lamei's nephew Dong Qiang has always wanted to marry Li Qiao, but she was in love with a college student at that time.
My sister-in-law didn't help him connect, and later she was abandoned by a college student, so he mentioned it again.
My sister-in-law said that she was a high school student and that she would have to pay a gift of 100 yuan to marry her.
How can he afford it?
He watched her being married off by a second-rate man.
Now that the second-rate man is dead, my sister-in-law said she would give him ten yuan.
She's so pretty, she's worth twenty.
"Li Qiao, come home with me."
"What do you do?" Feng Kui led the educated youth to block a group of people.
"Of course I'm bringing people with me," Dong Qiang said in a decisive move.
"Run to the village to take people? Where did your mother put us? Brothers, get these people out!"
The two parties soon fought together.
Dong Qiang had time to squeeze in front of Li Qiao. Mrs. Qin's heart was in her throat. She rushed to Li Qiao but Dong Qiang pushed her away and fell to the ground.
The incident happened so quickly that Li Qiao had no time to react and rushed forward to help him. Dong Qiang took the opportunity to grab Li Qiao's wrist.
Li Qiao struggled while looking at Old Mrs. Qin.
Wang Nannan and Liu Jing stepped forward to hold Dong Qiang away and told Li Qiao to run away.
Li Qiao was freed, and with eyes filled with anger, he picked up a pole and hit Dong Qiang.
Dong Qiang is short and nimble, jumping up and down to dodge.
Li Qiao was unable to defeat Dong Qiang and turned to deal with Dong Lamei.
"Help, my daughter is beating my mother." Dong Lamei ran away.
Li Qiao chased after him for a while and wanted to go home. Dong Qiang's men blocked him from behind.
