Wang Lei was startled, obviously not understanding what he meant, and said: "Cousin, if you help me like this, it's too late for me to thank you! How can I blame you?"
"Cousin, let's put it this way! I'm giving this money to you, not to her." Li Yi glanced at Ding Fei, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.
Wang Lei still didn't understand. He was about to speak when Ding Fei said, "Cousin, Wang Lei and I are married. Don't these things belong to both of us?"
"This is pre-marital property. Even if you get married, these things are not yours." Li Yi said.
Ding Fei's expression changed and he said, "What do you mean by this?"
"It's very simple. I'm giving this money to him, not to you." Li Yi knew that Wang Lei didn't understand and said in detail, "Simply put, cousin, I can give you this money, but I have conditions.
, you can’t marry her. Such a woman who only marries for money will not be happy even if you are together."
Hearing this, Ding Fei snorted coldly and said, "Are you kidding me?"
"No, let's be prepared. We gave you hope and let you understand that these things that belong to you do not belong to you." Li Yi spent so much effort just to achieve this goal.
Ding Fei sneered, glared at Wang Lei, and said angrily: "Wang Lei, you are a liar, and your cousin is also a big liar." After saying that, she knew that staying here would only make her more embarrassed, so she turned and left.
"Xiao Fei, don't leave, listen to my explanation." Wang Lei really loved Ding Fei, and just wanted to chase after him, but was held back by Li Yi.
"Cousin, haven't you seen clearly that she is with you for money?" Li Yi said seriously, "If one day you run out of money, what will she do to you?"
Wang Lei, who rarely gets angry, was furious at this time. He said angrily: "Cousin, if you can stand and talk without pain, will it be easy for me to find a girlfriend?"
"I know, but when looking for a girlfriend, you also have to look at the other person's character." Li Yi replied, "She is really not suitable for you. If you really want to save her, I won't stop her."
Wang Lei didn't speak. After a moment, he sighed and said, "I know you mean it for the best, so I'll think about it again!" He waved his hand and left alone.
Seeing the other party's leaving figure, Li Yi couldn't bear it, but did not pursue him.
"Li Yi, are you doing this too harshly?" Chen Xiaofei asked.
"If he doesn't do this, he will never be able to come out. I hope this incident can make him understand some truth." Li Yi didn't want to continue talking on this topic, so he changed the subject and said, "Let's go! Let's continue playing, but we should find some answers first.
Where to get something to eat?”
It wasn't noon yet, and the two girls weren't hungry either. Chen Jiaojiao suggested, "How about we beat the horses!"
"What, you want to press on the road?" Chen Xiaofei was speechless and said depressedly, "There is nothing to press on right now, we might as well find a place to drink some tea!"
"No! I think it's fun to drive on the road, especially with the one you love." Chen Jiaojiao said reluctantly, "Brother-in-law, just promise me!"
Li Yi had no objection. He glanced at Chen Xiaofei, who rolled his eyes and said, "Okay! Let's walk along the road!"
Just like that, a strange scene occurred on the roadside. A man and two women walked forward along the road.
After walking for about ten minutes, a TV reporter appeared in front of him. The reporter took a microphone and interviewed an old man, "Master, are you happy?"
The old man was holding a snakeskin bag in his hand, with a lot of scraps in it. He asked the reporter: "What are you talking about? I can't hear you clearly because my ears are not working well."
I remember having no choice but to continue asking: "Uncle, are you happy?"
"I still can't hear clearly." The old man replied.
The reporter raised his voice and asked again: "Uncle, let me ask you, are you happy?"
"I still can't hear you clearly, please speak louder," the old man said.
"Uncle, are you happy?" This time, the reporter shouted with the loudest voice, almost making his voice hoarse.
"I can't hear you." The old man said, "You should be older."
The reporter shook his head, turned and left.
At this time, the old man walked away and said to himself: "Idiot! You are exhausted. I am still picking up rags at such an old age. Do you think I will be happy?"
"Li Yi, he is so pitiful, let's go help him!" Chen Xiaofei sympathized.
"This is a national matter. If it is not solved fundamentally, it will be completely useless. The gap between the rich and the poor in the country is too big." It's not that Li Yi doesn't want to help the other party, but he doesn't know how to help.
"Yes! Doesn't the country say let some people get rich first, and then drive other people?" Chen Jiaojiao agreed with Li Yi's idea and continued, "It's better now. Some people have become rich, but the other people will never become rich. Now the housing prices
If it is too high, the rich will become richer and the poor will become poorer."
"Also, do you know why the gap between the poor and the rich is getting wider and wider?" Chen Jiaojiao seemed to know a lot about these things and came slowly, "These days, the taxes on the poor are getting heavier and heavier, and one person cannot earn much at all.
.The rich! They are even exempt from tax. It is difficult for them to get rich even if they don’t want to."
As soon as these words came out, Li Yi looked at him with admiration and said: "Jiaojiao, how do you know so much?"
"Hey! Don't think that because I'm a student, I don't care about the country's affairs. I usually do good deeds." Chen Jiaojiao's next words surprised both of them, "I joined a charity organization some time ago and I helped everyone celebrate the New Year.
All the pocket money given to me has been donated to those who need it more."
Chen Xiaofei was deeply touched by these words and said: "Li Yi, let's help that uncle!"
"Yes!" Li Yi nodded. He had already thought of a good way and took the two women's hands and walked forward.
Soon, he walked in front of the old man, but Li Yi didn't stop and walked straight forward.
This made the two women confused. They thought Li Yi would give money to each other, but they didn't expect that Li Yi walked away without doing anything.
After being far away from the old man, Chen Xiaofei couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Why don't you give him money?"
"This old man is very kind-hearted, otherwise he would not come out to scavenge at such an old age." Li Yi said, "If we gave it to him in person, he would definitely not want it."
"What?" Chen Xiaofei was confused. She still didn't understand how Li Yi gave the money to the other party.
"Brother-in-law, I understand, you want the uncle to get this money accidentally." Chen Jiaojiao said, "But the uncle is very brave, can he ask for this money?"
"I don't know either. We will know the results later." Li Yi said.
At this time, the old man walked to a place where waste was collected and took out the contents of the snakeskin bag.
Most of the waste was beverage bottles, and there was a stack of newspapers among them. But when the newspapers were being weighed, an unexpected scene occurred. A wad of money suddenly fell out of the newspaper. The thick wad was at least tens of thousands of dollars. The old man
He was stunned immediately, picked up the money and put it in his pocket.
When the scraps were purchased, Chen Xiaofei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The uncle has accepted the money."
"Brother-in-law, when did you put the money in? Why didn't I see it?" Chen Jiaojiao asked.
Chen Xiaofei was also curious and said: "Yes! When did you put it in?"
Li Yi did not explain, not to mention that even if he explained this matter, he could not say it in front of Chen Jiaojiao, and said: "You guessed wrong, the uncle did not accept the money."
"Didn't he put it in his pocket?" Chen Xiaofei asked puzzledly.
"Did you notice that the uncle put the money to buy scraps in the left pocket, and the money in the right pocket." Li Yi observed very carefully, paying attention to every detail.
The two women were confused and neither understood the meaning of the words. Chen Xiaofei said: "What's the difference?"
"If I guess correctly, the uncle will not accept the money." As soon as Li Yigang said this, he understood what was going on.
Because at this time, the uncle was walking towards the police station with a snakeskin bag. When he came to the door, the two policemen asked: "Uncle, what can I do for you?"
"Well, I just found this when I was picking up scraps." The old man felt in his pocket.
The two policemen looked at each other and smiled. One of them said, "Uncle, we don't accept waste here."
But the next moment, when they saw the old man taking out a thick wad of money, they were all stunned.
"Uncle, what are you doing?" the policeman who just spoke asked.
"This is the money I found. If the owner comes looking for it, please give it to him." After saying this, the old man left.
Seeing the old man leaving, the two policemen were very moved, but they still divided the money after entering the police station.
Li Yi saw this scene in front of his eyes. He was moved by the old man and angry at the two policemen.
Li Yi secretly sent a text message to Su Mengxi, and sighed at the same time: "It seems that if you want to help them, you can't help them like this. You have to make the whole city rich."
"How do you get rich?" Chen Xiaofei asked.
"Your father has just become the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. I will go find him later." Li Yi did not elaborate, he already had a solution in his mind.
Coincidentally, when the three of them were preparing to eat, they met the TV reporter again.
The reporter couldn't interview anyone, so he looked around for scavengers, and it didn't take long for him to find one.
"Uncle, wait a minute, are you happy?" the reporter asked.
The old man did not pretend to be deaf and dumb. He waved his hand and said: "My surname is Wang, but unfortunately I am Hu."
"Uncle, that's not what I meant. I did it for you. Are you happy?" The reporter slowed down his tone.
"Is this what you mean? My surname is Wang, and my ancestors are all surnamed Wang." The old man said, "Don't waste my time. You people who are paid have a lot of time. If I don't pick up more, I won't be able to eat."
"
That night, Li Yi sent the two girls home and met Chen Ping.
"Uncle Chen, I have something to talk to you about. Is it convenient for you?" Li Yi came to the study after dinner. After an afternoon of thinking, he already had a complete plan.
"Oh! What do you want to tell me about Xiao Fei?" Chen Ping no longer treats Li Yi as a child, and he has heard a lot about Li Yi's situation.
"Are the people in our province rich now?" Li Yi asked straight to the point.
Chen Ping was startled, glanced at Li Yi in surprise, and said, "Li Yi, why do you ask this?"
"I saw something today that made me feel emotional and wanted to help them." Li Yi simply said what he saw in the afternoon.
Chen Ping looked solemn. He took a deep breath and said: "To be honest, our province is indeed not rich. Among the six provinces and one city in East China, although our province is not at the bottom, it is almost there. Our province is not a coastal city.
There is no export trade and no one comes to invest, so many local people have gone out to work."
"If more factories are built, will the per capita income of our province increase?" Li Yi asked sharply.
"That's for sure, but the key is who will invest?" Chen Ping said with a wry smile, "I have been working hard during this period, but it has not had much effect at all."
"What if I come to invest?" Li Yi asked.
Chen Ping knew that Li Yi had some money, but he didn't think it was a lot, and said: "How much can you invest."
