Chapter 53: The smile hides the murderous intention
Liu Yu was in a good mood. He couldn't remember how much he drank. All the heroes in Jingkou raised their thumbs in front of him this time. This was much better than in previous years when he simply relied on fists and kicks to overwhelm everyone.
, made him even more happy, drinking bowl after bowl until he was so drunk that he couldn't even remember how he got home.
Several calls brought Liu Yu back to reality from his dream. He sat up suddenly. It was already bright, and in the farmland outside, the songs sung by the villagers while farming floated into his ears.
The smiling faces of Xiao Wenshou and his two younger brothers were swaying in front of him. Liu Yu quickly turned from his seat to his knees and saluted his mother: "Mother, my child salutes you."
Xiao Wenshou smiled and helped Liu Yu up: "Da Lang, don't be like this. You have given our Jingkou some face, and you have also given our old Liu family a voice. Your father will definitely be very happy."
Liu Daolian on the other side wiped his nose and said: "Yes, the folks from Shiliba Village sent a lot of things yesterday, saying thank you for fighting for us in this arena. Brother, now we have been here for half a year.
Don’t worry about food and clothing.”
Liu Yu curled up his lips, feeling pleased with himself, but pretending not to care on his face. He looked at Liu Daogui and asked, "How did I come back yesterday?"
Liu Daogui said with a smile: "Liu Muzhi hired a car to transport you back. Brother, you are too heavy. That damn fat man can't carry it."
Liu Yu laughed: "That's true, how can he have such ability? However, it only costs hundreds of dollars to get from Jingkou Town to here. Where did he come from? Could it be..."
At this point, his expression changed and he hurriedly touched his arms. No matter what, he would never be willing to use the more than one hundred dollars from selling straw sandals to hire a car.
Xiao Wenshou smiled and shook his head, and took out a money bag from his arms: "Dalang, it was Linjiangxian's shopkeeper Gao who brought you back with the cart he purchased from their store. It's free of charge! You, one hundred and fifty
Mom has already saved six coins and will use it for you to find a wife later."
Liu Yu's heart suddenly returned to the ground, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The child has no future yet, and it is too early to marry a wife. First, serve your mother well, and then drag Dao Lian and Dao Gui into trouble.
Then think about getting a wife."
Xiao Wenshou frowned: "Da Lang, you are old enough and have reached the age of getting married. My mother didn't mention this matter before because you haven't done anything big yet to convince the people of Jingkou!"
"Mom, I'm afraid there won't be any good girls who would be willing to marry you, but things are different now. This time you have greatly boosted the ambitions of us Jingkou people. Three matchmakers have come to you and want to arrange this marriage for you.
"
Liu Yu shook his head: "Mom, our family is still very poor. If I marry a wife, I'm afraid it will make you and your two brothers suffer. It's best to postpone this matter until I have some success and do some big things before I marry a wife.
.”
Xiao Wenshou sighed: "Our Liu family is in decline. Your father passed away early and didn't leave many connections. Even if you pretend to be upright, you rely on your fists and kicks instead of your connections."
"In today's world, rich and powerful families have been powerful for generations, while poor people have no chance to stand up. Are you still thinking about fighting for wealth?"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and was about to speak when a thin and elongated voice sounded from outside: "Excuse me, is Liu Li at home?"
Liu Yu's expression changed. He was already very familiar with this voice. He had heard it many times in the past few days. He jumped off the bed, wore single clothes, and rushed out of the door in three steps and two steps at a time.
Outside the earthen wall and the firewood gate, I saw Diao Mao standing with his head bowed in a respectful manner, followed by two or three servants, leading a donkey carrying two rice bags and a bunch of dried salted fish, chickens and ducks.
Liu Yu looked at Diao Mao and said in a deep voice, "How did you know about my family?"
Diao Mao said respectfully: "Liu Lizheng, you are a famous person in Jingkou. You are very famous. It is not difficult to find out where you live. Besides, where your home is is clearly stated in the household registration."
Liu Yu said coldly: "Then why did you come to my house today? Did Governor Diao ask you to come to me for revenge, or did you come to me to cause trouble?"
Diao Mao waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, no, Liu Lizheng, you have misunderstood. Governor Diao was full of praise for you. He said that before coming to Jingkou, he did not know the rules here, and he was the one who offended the local people.
mistakes."
"Today, he specially sent a villain here to apologize to Liu Lizheng and offer these small gifts to express his feelings."
Diao Mao said, waving his hand, and several slaves behind him took down the bags of rice, dried fish, chickens and ducks from the donkey, and were about to walk into the Liu family's yard when they heard Liu Yu's cold voice.
: "Wait a minute, Diaojiayuan, I can't accept these things."
Diao Mao's expression changed: "Liu Lizheng, please don't get me wrong. This is really a little thought from Governor Diao. It was you who taught him the rules of Jingkou in Jingkou, so this is just a little thank you."
Liu Daolian said infatuatedly from behind: "Brother, if you have something delicious, just take it. Don't we take everything that others give us?"
Liu Yu's face darkened, and he turned back to Liu Daolian and said sternly: "What do you know? Don't interrupt the kid when you are talking, brother." This time he spoke more harshly, and Liu Daolian was so scared that he quickly covered his mouth, not daring to
Squeak again.
Liu Yu secretly thought, this Diao Kui is so arrogant that he taught him such a lesson yesterday, and today he actually sent Diao Mao to give him gifts. Could it be that he wants to bribe him? But if he just wants to rely on this little thing to win him over, that may not be too much.
A bit shabby, so what is his real intention?
Liu Yu made up his mind, no matter what, he would not accept this thing. Let's see what Diao Kui does next. He looked at Diao Mao and said sternly: "Diaojiayuan, please tell Diao Governor that he will not be rewarded for his merits.
Liu Yuxin accepts your kindness, but I cannot accept this gift. Please forgive me."
Diao Mao sighed: "Liu Lizheng, my master said that if I can't deliver this thing to you, I will break my dog's legs when I get back. Can't you be considerate of the villain?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "That's your Diao family's business and has nothing to do with me. Diao Family Courtyard, I drank too much wine yesterday and I'm a little dizzy now. If there's nothing else, I'll leave it alone for now!"
As he spoke, he handed over his hands to Diao Mao and turned to leave. Diao Mao suddenly called from behind: "Liu Lizheng, wait a minute, if you don't want to accept these gifts today, that's it. However, Governor Diao has official business to attend to."
The villain conveys, please prepare yourself, and now go to the Governor's Mansion with the villain to accept the Governor's mission."
Liu Yu turned around, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "A mission? What mission?"
An intriguing light flashed in Diao Mao's eyes: "You will know as soon as Liu Lizheng leaves."
