Looking at the man in front of him, Zhang Shengli had an idea in his mind and roughly guessed the man's identity, but he just didn't dare to confirm it.
"Su Lin, my son, you should call him brother." Su Shicheng laughed.
Zhang Shengli suddenly felt extremely embarrassed. He was obviously in his forties and barely a few years younger than his father. According to his master, he couldn't even call him brother.
"Hello! Are you Zhang Shengli?"
Fortunately, Su Lin relieved his embarrassment, stood up, stretched out his right hand, and said, "I heard Ling'er talk about you. You are young and promising. When I see you today, you are indeed extraordinary."
Zhang Shengli curled his lips, knowing that these were polite words. How could Su Ling'er say that to him? It would be nice not to hurt him.
"Hello uncle, didn't I say you would be here in a few days?" Zhang Shengli quickly held Su Lin's hand and said, "I've been looking forward to this for a long time."
Sour! Su Lin'er on the side held Tang Rou's hand and rolled her eyes, giving her the impression that these two people were particularly hypocritical.
It was obvious that the other party was unhappy, but he didn't show it at all.
His father had already been unhappy with Zhang Shengli for abducting his grandfather to this poor ravine. As for Zhang Shengli, he was naturally unhappy because he could not give his master a complete family.
But even so, the two of them could still get along peacefully and talk happily.
"Okay, I just want to bring him here to meet him. He has a lot of things to do in Yanjing, so he probably won't be able to stay for a few days. Just find someone to accompany him for a walk in the village these days." Su Shicheng saw the politeness between the two, and also
Some can't stand it.
"That's easy to say, I'll make arrangements right away." Zhang Shengli let go of Su Lin's hand and nodded in agreement.
Everyone in the room stared at him with strange expressions on their faces.
Only then did Zhang Shengli realize that it was getting dark and it was already dinner time.
"Well, I just came back from the mountains..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Rou had noticed the blood stains on his body. She quickly stood up, pulled his blood-stained clothes and asked, "What's going on? Are you in danger in the mountains?"
After Tang Rou said this, several other people also looked towards him.
Seeing this, Zhang Shengli quickly said: "It's nothing, it's not the anchor. He got lost in the mountains today and encountered a wild wolf."
Whoosh!
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Zhang Shengli, including Tang Rou.
"Are you okay?" Tang Rou looked worried.
"Do you think I'm a troubled person?"
Okay, after he said this, Tang Rou's face dropped, she looked at Zhang Shengli and said, "Is it that beautiful anchor?"
Seeing this situation, Zhang Shengli immediately said: "Yes, that's the one, the one with several layers of powder on his face."
Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Su Ling'er became jealous and came to Tang Rou's side, asking in a low voice: "Sister Xiaorou, is this kid cheating on someone?"
Zhang Shengli broke out in cold sweat, and Su Shicheng also laughed.
Fortunately, someone outside the small building rescued him at this time.
"Brother Shengli, it's not good, Uncle Haimin is fighting with someone."
As soon as these words came out, Tang Rou didn't have the time to care about Zhang Shengli, she glared at him fiercely and ran out quickly.
Zhang Shengli also walked out.
"What's going on? Who are you with? What are you holding in your hand?"
Hearing Zhang Shengli's series of questions, the little monkey said: "I don't know either. I just touched the monkey in the woods and heard a loud noise at his house, so I ran over."
As if afraid that Zhang Shengli wouldn't believe it, he even raised the cicada monkey he just touched.
Zhang Shengli didn't care much and said directly: "You stay here for now, I'll go take a look."
"Slow down!" Tang Rou saw Zhang Shengli running out in a hurry and stamped her feet.
Su Lin was stunned for a moment, looked at his father, and asked, "What? Does he care about neighborhood disputes?"
Su Ling'er snorted at the side and muttered: "Mind your own business."
But at this time, Su Shicheng noticed what the little monkey was holding.
"Little monkey, come here and show me the cicada monkey."
The little monkey was very obedient and handed it to Su Shicheng's hand and said: "There are many in the woods, I only caught a few, and they were all snatched away by Da Zhuang."
Su Shicheng touched his head, looked at the small box of cicada monkeys, and said, "I didn't expect there to be so many of these things here."
"What's wrong, Master? What's the use of this? There are a lot of these in our village when summer comes. There are still a few of them now. If it rains, there will be more." Tang Rou also became interested.
Su Shicheng laughed and said: "This is a good thing. When this thing sheds its shell, the shell can be used for medicine."
"No wonder!" Tang Rou said, "People used to collect these shells in the village. It turns out they can be used medicinally."
After returning the cicada monkey to the little monkey, Su Shicheng said: "It is very useful, but now there are fewer and fewer of them. They are all artificially bred, and the efficacy of the medicine is greatly reduced."
Tang Rou didn't understand this. If it were Zhang Shengli, it would probably be Men Qing.
At this time, Zhang Shengli had arrived at Uncle Haimin's house. Hearing the quarrel in the courtyard, he suddenly frowned.
Where is the fight going? It's clearly a couple quarreling.
After thinking for a while, he opened the courtyard door and walked in.
"victory?"
Zhang Shengli looked at the two people who had stopped arguing, smiled awkwardly, and said, "The little monkey said you were fighting with someone, so I came over to take a look."
"What's going on? What's the fuss about as a family?"
Uncle Haimin was a little embarrassed, so he directly moved a chair for Zhang Shengli from the house and said, "You are not a girl like me. I have to lend my uncle the tens of thousands of dollars I received today. I don't agree with it. No."
Did it start a quarrel?"
Zhang Shengli was a little helpless. It turned out that the root cause was here, and it was his fault for his feelings. If he didn't share the money, he wouldn't be what he is now.
"Uncle, isn't it just tens of thousands of yuan? We still lack this money?" Zhang Shengli began to persuade.
Uncle Haimin's family of four, a daughter and a son, are now helping in the village. The four members of the family have a total of 20,000 yuan. In the past, this was indeed a lot of money, but now it is really not a problem.
Uncle Haimin lit a cigarette and said: "Sheng Li, you don't know that my brother-in-law is not a thing. If you give this money to him, I guarantee that within a few days, there will be nothing left and all will be lost."
"
Zhang Shengli was stunned and asked: "What's going on? Is he still betting?"
"Isn't it true? The whole family has been ruined by him, and he still doesn't know how to repent." Uncle Haimin took a few puffs of his cigarette.
Zhang Shengli looked back and said, "Auntie, you can't do this randomly. If that's the case, we can't lend him the money. If we lend it to him, it will be harmful to him."
"I know that too, but he is my biological brother. If he opens his mouth, how can I refuse?"
Zhang Shengli thought for a while and said: "Let's do this. Let's lend him the money, but we can't borrow more. So we'll lend him five thousand, and then tell him to rent a shop on the river beach and sign a written agreement. Within a year,
Give us this money back."
"What other explanation can there be for this?" Uncle Haimin didn't react for a moment.
Zhang Shengli said with a smile: "He gambles every day, so he must not have a job. Let's arrange a job for him. Anyway, there are still a few vacant rooms on the river beach, so let him start a small business. If he doesn't come up by then, we will act according to the letter.
, I took the shop and everything in it as repayment."
Uncle Haimin thought about it, patted his leg and said, "I think this can be done. With the business of running a shop, he should be able to get rid of his gambling addiction."
Zhang Shengli breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the matter was resolved.
He felt that it was too difficult for him to even get involved in such a thing.
