Amidst the noise of the villagers, a voice that Li Jin was very familiar with came out.
Li Jin turned around and looked at the people outside who were dressed simply, with most of their hair gray, and their faces looked particularly old due to years of exposure to wind and sun.
"Mom." Li Jin strode forward and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, Mom, I came back late."
No matter in the past life or in this life, the only people in this world who truly give everything for themselves wholeheartedly are parents.
But in his last life, he was obsessed with Hu Pingping, so he sucked up all his parents' blood and gave it to Hu Pingping as a subsidy. Not only did he endure hardship, but he also made it difficult for his parents to live in peace until they grew old.
He finally changed everything in this life. He should have taken his parents back and raised them well, but he was delayed due to various things.
Looking at his mother's face, which was much older than in his memory, Li Jin felt unspeakable guilt.
Liu Xiufang didn't know the complexity of Li Jin's heart, so she just said: "It'll be good when I come back."
"This is my friend, Su Wanqing." Li Jin pulled Su Wanqing next to him, who was inexplicably too shy to meet people, and introduced him.
"Hello, aunt." Su Wanqing called out shyly and unbearably.
Su Wanqing's beauty was overwhelming. Liu Xiufang had spent most of her life in the village with her face turned to the earth, but she had never seen such a beautiful girl.
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, how could one not understand the relationship between them.
I don't know where she is better than Hu Pingping.
"Hello, hello." Liu Xiufang was also a little nervous and said hurriedly.
But she was a little suspicious in her heart, why did her son change his girlfriend? He was about to marry Hu Pingping before.
It's just that there are so many people talking right now, it's hard for her to ask too many questions.
"Where's dad?" Li Jin did not forget about business.
Hearing this, Liu Xiufang's expression was full of worry, "We are at the village chief's place, and your cousin's house next door is also there, saying we are discussing it."
"What else is there to discuss?" Li Jinyi frowned and said, "They built a house but they wanted to occupy the foundation of our house, and they even beat people yesterday. There is nothing to discuss about this kind of thing."
With that said, Li Jin was going to the village chief's home.
Liu Xiufang and Su Wanqing hurriedly followed.
When the surrounding villagers saw that there was a lot of fun to be seen, they all gathered around and followed to watch the fun.
Li Jin didn't care about them either.
Liu Xiufang said to Li Jin: "Jin, don't be impulsive. Your father has a bad temper. Later, you can help persuade your father not to make things worse."
"Mom." Li Jin frowned and said, "This is because my cousin and his family are bullying us. They usually look down on our family. They can do such a thing and they don't take us seriously. I'm really not afraid of it.
It’s a big deal.”
"You kid." Liu Xiufang was annoyed, "Why do you and your father have the same virtues? They are neighbors and cousins. If you really make a big fuss, you will be a joke to others. Besides, it's hard for us to offend your cousin's family."
"Mom, I understand your worries." Li Jin sighed, "It's just that I borrowed 10,000 yuan from them to buy a house for me. I came back this time to solve all these things."
"Ah?" Liu Xiufang looked at her son in surprise, but Li Jin didn't explain much and just stepped away.
Su Wanqing smiled sweetly and said to Liu Xiufang: "Auntie, don't worry, your son is very capable now."
Liu Xiufang still didn't know how to face Su Wanqing.
On the one hand, I think this girl is really beautiful, just like the female stars in TV series.
On the other hand, she was wondering how Hu Pingping was doing now.
For a moment, Liu Xiufang didn't know what to say and could only smile and nodded and said: "Hey, yes, yes."
The village is not big, but within three to five minutes, Li Jin arrived at the village chief's house.
In fact, it was just a slightly larger courtyard. Before Li Jin got close, he heard a sharp female voice speaking with a strong accent.
"Chengzhao, after all, we are not just neighbors, we are also relatives. Didn't I help you when your family was in trouble? Now, you are going to slap me in the face for such a trivial matter. Aren't you afraid of making people laugh?"
"If you ask me, people are poor and have many things. Why do you need so many foundations for your house? Can you build a house? It's a waste to leave them alone. Why don't you give them to us?"
"It's just that I really don't understand how I can be so confident and refuse to pay for the foundation. I took out the 10,000 yuan I borrowed last year and paid it back!"
"Isn't your son in the county? You have money to buy a house for your son, but you don't have money to pay off the debt, right?"
Amidst all the accusations, an angry man's voice sounded.
"I admit that I owe money, and I will pay it back, but this is two different things from the foundation. The foundation was handed down to me by our ancestors, and I can't throw it away!"
"Ha!" The female voice at the beginning said again, "Then you pay back the money! I have never seen such a shameless person. He went to the county town to buy a house without money. He pretended to be stupid and was not afraid of making people laugh!"
"That's it, stop talking nonsense, either give up the foundation and we will give you some time to pay back the money, otherwise we will pay you back immediately!"
"Who doesn't know that your family is the poorest and usually has no ability, but now it seems that you are really a loser."
"Don't talk about him. His son is not a wimp. I've heard it a long time ago. They bought that house because his son's girlfriend must have a wedding room when she gets married."
"It makes me laugh to death. You are so poor, yet you are harming other girls and borrowing money to buy a house. As a result, you are completely in debt. You are really a great father."
"With the silly looks on their faces, the father and son may have been defrauded of the house by that girl."
"You are a man in his fifties who can't even spare ten dollars and is not ashamed. Who would marry their daughter to your family if they are blind?"
Bang!
The sound of the wooden door of the courtyard being kicked open interrupted the discussion of the group of people inside.
Li Jin's expression was as cold as frost, and he looked at the seven or eight people sitting in the yard.
Except for the village chief and his wife, the other five are all members of the so-called cousin's family.
Only his father was besieged by everyone.
Li Jin's appearance startled them, and then the cousin said angrily: "Oh, who did I think it was? It turns out it's my loser's loser here."
The village chief also frowned, glanced at Li Jin coldly, and then said to Li Chengzhao: "Chengzhao, your son is too rude. He kicked the door when he came in. What do you think of me?"
Li Chengzhao frowned and looked at Li Jin, "Why are you here?"
The relationship between Li Jin and Li Chengzhao is similar to that between most fathers and sons in China. The father is taciturn and unreasonably strict.
Most of the time, the son prefers to be closer to his mother, and his impression of his father is always full of fear.
In his previous life, until the end, Li Jin didn't have much intimacy with Li Chengzhao.
But Li Jin never denied Li Chengzhao's feelings for him.
He's just not good at expressing himself.
It was like facing Hu Pingping's aggressiveness and repeated humiliation, the grumpy Li Chengzhao was afraid that Li Jin would be embarrassed, so he didn't say a word.
An extremely chauvinistic rural man endured the insult of his daughter-in-law.
After two lifetimes, Li Jin felt extremely excited when he saw his father getting older.
"Mom said something happened at home, so I came back." Li Jin said.
"It's none of your business, don't get involved." Li Chengzhao glared at Liu Xiufang, who was following behind, and blamed her for telling Li Jin about this.
