Li Jing sat in the car with a sullen face, thought for a moment, looked at the time, and said to the driver: "Let's go to my parents' house first."
"Okay!" the driver responded and drove towards the commune.
Ten minutes later, the car arrived at the entrance of the alley next to the commune. Li Jing got out of the car, entered the alley and arrived at the door of her house. She stood there and glanced at the ajar door. Then she walked to the door of Xu Dong's house and knocked on the door.
"Who is it? The door is not closed." Yao Xiuyun walked to the door and opened the courtyard door. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Jing, "Why are you here?"
Li Jing smiled lightly: "I want to talk to Dongzi for a few words."
Yao Xiuyun stepped aside expressionlessly: "Come in!"
Xu Dong stood at the door of the main room holding a bowl. When he saw Li Jing entering, he frowned and showed a sarcastic smile: "Li Jing, Uncle Li's house is at the opposite door. You must have gone to the wrong door!"
Yao Xiuyun went straight into the main room and said to the two children who looked at Li Jing curiously: "Hurry up and do your homework. Mom will cook."
"Oh!" The two children picked up the pen and continued writing.
Li Jing didn't care about the attitudes of Xu Dong and Yao Xiuyun, and said to Xu Dong: "Dongzi, I want to have a few words with you alone."
Xu Dong took her to the living room next to her and pointed to the sofa: "Sit!" After that, he also sat down.
Li Jing sat down on the sofa opposite Xu Dong, took a look at the furnishings in the room, and said with a smile: "Are you still working in the joint defense team?"
"Yes!" Xu Dong looked at her, "You're not looking for me to discuss my work, are you?"
Li Jing shook her head, with a sad look on her face: "Dongzi, you see, you and Dingbang both have formal jobs, but Xiangyang hasn't found his job yet. What's the future of hanging around with a bunch of dealers all day long? Please help me persuade Xiangyang to let him
He promised to join the army, and after he retires, I will find him a place to work, so that he can do a good job while he is young."
Xu Dong looked at her speechless. He thought that after more than ten years, she would change. Unexpectedly, she was still the same as before: "Li Jing, you are so funny. Why do you dislike him for being a pig dealer? Don't you?"
Did they also rely on Uncle Li and the others to kill pigs and raise them?"
"I don't dislike him for killing pigs!" Li Jing sighed: "I know you have prejudices against me! I am just a younger brother to Xiangyang. I really think about his future and don't want to see him give up on himself and go down the wrong path.
The further you go..."
"Li Jing!" Xu Dong interrupted her, "You have no right to make irresponsible remarks to Xiang Yang. We didn't just meet today. Just say what you want to say, don't go around and around!"
Li Jing sat up straight after hearing this: "Okay, let me ask you, you are Xiangyang's good friend, good brother, do you just watch him find a widow? Watch him be laughed at and ruin his future?"
"Li Jing, don't use your standards to measure others!" Xu Dong sneered coldly, stood up and looked at her condescendingly, "I tell you, we all agree with Xiang Yang and Sister Lin. He should find a simple and kind-hearted woman.
, it’s a hundred times better than finding a woman who talks sweetly and is brave!"
Li Jing said angrily: "I am his sister, will I harm him?"
"Forget it!" Xu Dong looked at her with a sarcastic face, "You know why you interfered in Xiangyang's marriage. After so many years, you are still the same as before, like to be self-righteous and smart."
"Yes!" Li Xiangyang strode in from the yard.
"Xiangyang!" Li Jing shouted in a panic.
Li Xiangyang looked at her coldly, "Dongzi is right. You are still the same as before, thinking that you are the smartest and others are fools. As long as you can achieve your goal, anyone can be used and sacrificed. That was the case before and it is still now.
."
Li Jing looked at him aggrievedly: "How can you say that to me? We are siblings, and I am not doing this for your own good! It's not like you can't get a wife, so why do you want to get a widow with children?
Go and listen to how people laugh at you!"
"So what if Lin Lan is a widow? She is hard-working, kind, and grateful. Even if everyone says she is not good, as long as I like her, it is the best." Li Xiangyang took a step forward and looked at her, "But you, every time
Under the guise of doing good for their loved ones, they plan to use the parents who gave birth to you for their own benefit. Having a relative like you is our greatest misfortune."
"Okay, okay!" Li Jing became angry, stood up, pointed at him, and shouted hysterically, "I'm evil, I'm scheming! If you want to have sex with that widow, go ahead and do it. If I don't care about your business in the future, I'm not a human being!"
"After that, he picked up the small bag on the sofa and rushed out of Xu Dong's house.
Xu Dong had never seen Li Jing lose her composure before. He turned to look at Li Xiangyang: "Are we too merciless to her? She won't do stupid things, right?"
Li Xiangyang said lightly: "Even if we do something stupid, she won't do it."
Xu Dong thought about it, Li Jing was not an ordinary woman, and how many people could do such a thing as severing ties with their parents by publishing it in the newspapers!
"Didn't you accompany Dingbang to the hospital to change the gauze? Why are you here?"
"When I came back, I happened to see her in front of Lin Lan's house. I thought she was looking for the old man, so I chased her."
"This morning, as soon as you walked away, Uncle Li carried the mutton and rode to the pig farm." Xu Dong remembered something and looked at him worriedly, "What you just said was quite hurtful. You just
Aren't you afraid of making her anxious and asking Chen Jingsheng to stop taking care of you, so that you can settle the scores later?"
Li Xiangyang turned to look at him, "Do you really think that Li Jing asked Chen Jingsheng to take care of me in the black market? He doesn't have the energy yet!"
Xu Dong looked at him in surprise: "Who is he? Xiangyang and I were both in the army at that time, and there was no one else but him?"
Li Xiangyang said to Xu Dong: "The black market will be dismantled soon, so I won't hide it from you. You also know that I bought the yard behind the clothing factory. I originally wanted to start a black market when I bought it.
Dry."
"Before I started, I was caught selling meat in Dongzikou. The person who caught me was an uncle that my father had helped before. He gave me a choice, either to help them manage the black market, or to go to labor reform.
"I can only choose to help them manage the black market. In these two black markets, I have just been a free errand worker. The only advantage is that I can collect some rent and set up a stall to sell meat for free. All my money is from my pig raising business.
The money earned from selling meat in the market has not been a penny from the black market.”
Only then did Xu Dong understand why he could manage several black markets, but no one dared to attack him: "No wonder you didn't open the market during several surprise inspections. Was it the higher-ups who informed you?"
"Yeah!" Li Xiangyang nodded with a smile, "The black market will be closed at the end of the year, and I will be more relaxed, so I can work on my pig farm with peace of mind."
Xu Dong smiled and joked: "Also, we should settle your affairs with Lin Lan as soon as possible."
Li Xiangyang smiled and said: "Next year, prepare the red envelopes early!"
Yao Xiuyun came out of the kitchen and said to Li Xiangyang with a smile: "I stewed the mutton you gave me, let's eat it together here!"
Li Xiangyang shook his head: "No, I still have to go to Lin Lan."
Yao Xiuyun smiled and waved her hand: "Go to Sister Lin's place to eat, and I won't keep you."
