The Wan family was bustling with excitement, but Tao Zhiyun and her family turned a deaf ear.
The family was happily preparing dinner or playing with Qiqi.
Qiqi was very happy, it was rare to have so many people playing with him.
Li Mingcheng learned how to drive with Chen Feng's younger brother in an open space not far from Fuduoduo Market all afternoon, and it didn't end until about five o'clock in the afternoon.
He went to Fuduoduo Market and drank a lot of cold water, then walked towards Jiefang Road.
I plan to go to the Renjian Fireworks BBQ restaurant to have a work meal with the store's employees before going home, so as not to have to go back and open the fire myself on a hot day.
As he walked, he reflected on what he had learned about driving this afternoon.
Just as he was thinking about it, a figure blocked his way.
He instinctively raised his head, saw Wan Hui, and couldn't help but frowned, suddenly feeling that she was as annoying as dog skin plaster.
When she pestered him at noon, he had already made it clear to her that he would not lend her money, and he also told her not to come looking for him again, but she came again.
He didn't want to talk to Wan Hui and wanted to bypass her and continue walking forward.
He took a step to the left, and Wan Hui took a step to the left, blocking his way.
He took a step to the right, and Wan Hui took a step to the right, still blocking his way.
Li Mingcheng suddenly became furious and shouted: "Why are you so shameless? How can you force others to lend you money?"
Wan Hui has always seen Li Mingcheng being honest and helpful.
When he used to live in her neighborhood, no matter if he knew someone or not, as long as he saw someone in need of help, he would help them.
Sometimes even if he doesn't see it, if someone calls him to help, he will usually help.
Such a good man suddenly became so fierce, which shocked Wan Hui and froze him in place for a moment.
Only then did Li Mingcheng get away.
But he didn't let him breathe a sigh of relief. Wan Hui, who had recovered his senses, chased after him and blocked his way again.
This time she knelt down directly in front of him, kowtowed to him, and choked with sobs: "Brother Li, I'm really desperate. I can only beg you. Please help me."
Li Mingcheng could no longer sympathize with her, but instead hated her even more. He said coldly: "Even if you kowtow to death, I will not help you!"
Some passers-by were attracted by Wan Hui's actions and slowly gathered around.
Someone asked Wan Hui why he had to borrow money from Li Mingcheng.
Wan Hui told the whole story in a timid manner, and then said pitifully and confidently:
"I just borrowed money from Brother Li to finish high school, and I will pay him back when I go to college. I don't want him to give the money in vain~"
Ji Mingcheng was so angry at her shameless expression that his quarrel skills exploded.
He sneered: "I owe a lot of money to buy a house myself, how can I borrow money from you?
Besides, if I have money, I don’t have to lend it to you. Is it just because you will pay it back?
Isn't it a natural thing to pay back debts?
When will borrowing money be repaid and become a reason for others to lend you money?"
He pointed at the growing crowd of melon eaters in front of him and said, "Then you can borrow money from them and see if anyone will lend it to you just because you will pay it back!"
If Wan Hui is good-looking, maybe someone among the melon-eating crowd will fall in love with her at first sight and be willing to lend her money.
But who told her she was average-looking? Who would fall in love with her at first sight, and who would take the initiative to lend her money?
Wan Hui was speechless, and when she took a peek at the reactions of the crowd, it was clear that they were on Li Mingcheng's side.
Knowing that I couldn't borrow money from him, I had no choice but to leave.
But before she could get up from the ground, she heard Li Mingcheng say incomprehensibly: "You spread rumors about my friend everywhere, and you said it was me who said it.
You instigated the relationship between me and my friend. Where did you get the courage to ask me to borrow money? Where did you get the courage?
Is it because I’m stupid and I come from the countryside, am I easy to deceive, or are you shameless?”
Wan Hui didn't say a word, got up and ran away.
Li Mingcheng snorted coldly at her back and continued walking to Lin Mai's barbecue restaurant.
Wan Hui ran a certain distance and then slowed down, thinking sadly about how to raise the tuition fees.
At this time, someone from behind shouted: "Little girl, wait."
The man shouted several times in a row, and Wan Hui felt that he was calling him.
She turned around and saw a loyal-looking man in his fifties or sixties.
She asked: "Are you calling me?"
The uncle nodded very kindly, and then rubbed his hands shyly: "I want to lend you money to study, but I don't know if you can trust me and go home with me to get the money."
Wan Hui looked him up and down several times and saw that he was embarrassed and honest. After hesitating for a long time, she finally nodded and agreed to follow him.
What can this old guy do to her at such an old age?
The two of them talked while walking.
The uncle asked kindly: "Girl, why do you want to borrow money to study?"
Wan Hui took the opportunity to sell out and said: "My mother is a stepmother. If you don't give me money, I will study~"
The uncle sighed sympathetically: "You are so pitiful."
After a pause, he asked again: "How much tuition does it cost to study in high school for three years?"
Wan Hui crossed her fingers and said, "Twenty yuan for one semester, forty for one year, and one hundred and twenty yuan for three years."
The uncle burst out laughing: "It's only one hundred and two, isn't it a lot?
I thought it was very expensive, so I only planned to lend you one semester's tuition.
Since it only costs one hundred and twenty, then I will do my best and lend you all the tuition fees for the past three years."
Wan Hui was so pleasantly surprised that she said thank you several times.
The uncle waved his hand: "You're welcome. I'm just lending you money, not supporting you. It's not like you don't have to pay back the money."
Wan Hui said sternly: "Although I have to pay back the money, uncle, you are already helping me in times of need. You are my benefactor."
After hearing this, the uncle was so happy that his face almost burst into laughter.
It was accidentally revealed that he had no children and was an old man alone.
He had a retirement salary and quite a bit of savings, but he was reluctant to support Wan Hui for free.
The uncle said to Wan Hui embarrassedly: "Girl, don't laugh at me because I love money as much as my life."
Wan Hui has already thought about it in her heart. If she can recognize this uncle as her godfather, maybe he will support her for free.
Even if you can't support yourself for free, it would be nice to be able to inherit his property a hundred years later.
While thinking about Xiao Jiujiu in her heart, she said sincerely: "Isn't it natural to love the money you earn? I love it too."
Seeing that Wan Hui's every word made him happy, the uncle opened up his chat box and talked even more energetically.
In order to please him, Wan Hui kept flattering him, and the two talked happily.
Wan Hui did not notice at all that the further the two of them walked, the more desolate the environment in front of them became.
When she found out, she stopped in surprise and asked warily: "Uncle, didn't you say you live on Dazhi Road? How did you bring me here?"
Dazhi Road is a bustling street. Wan Hui wouldn't have the courage to follow him if he hadn't heard from the uncle that he lived on Dazhi Road.
Because when bad people want to do bad things, they will not choose to do it on a busy street, where their traces can easily be exposed.
The uncle still smiled kindly: "I am taking a shortcut. After walking this way, I will almost reach my house."
Wan Hui hesitated for a few seconds, shook her head like a rattle: "I won't go to your house." After that, she turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, the old man ran up from behind, hugged her waist, and dragged her to the woods on the roadside: "You are here, at least let me feel comfortable before leaving."
