Traveling through the famine years, the best old woman, I was gnawed into the richest man by my children and grandchildren Chapter 187 Lisi, this kid, can give her a surprise
Chapter 187 Lisi, this kid, can give her a surprise
The man became anxious and shouted: "Why? Why can he do it but I can't?"
Li San turned around and asked Li Si: "Yes, why?"
Li Si frowned.
"Uncle, we act according to our conscience. Don't you know how you did this job today? My family sincerely gives money, you can't bully my family!"
"Fourth brother, why do I have no conscience? Just tell me, did I go up the mountain with you, and did I go down the mountain together? I neither left late nor came back early. What did I do wrong?
?”
Li Sizhi waved his hand: "Okay, okay! If you have to let me explain it clearly, then don't blame me for being disrespectful to you. You were on the mountain today and walked through the forest seventy-eight times, right?"
The man's face turned red, he was depressed for a long time, and then he said, "What's wrong? You've been working for a day and you can't pee?"
Li Si smiled.
"Uncle, if you really peeed seventy-eight times, either pooping or peeing, then you have to take good care of your body, let alone do such physical work! Others also worked in the mountains and only peed ten times.
Well done to you, seventy-eight times!"
There was laughter and boos from the crowd of onlookers, and the man lowered his head and walked away quietly.
Lin Tao was very happy to see it.
She really didn't expect that this guy Li Si could give her a surprise!
Looking at Li San again, he looked so dumbfounded that he definitely didn't notice these frogmen who were lazy in paddling!
After this happened, I was told that there was still work to do tomorrow, so I left happily.
Those who haven't been informed seem to dare to challenge me again.
Some people even begged: "Village Chief Li, give me another chance. Will I do it well tomorrow?"
Lin Taoguan paid attention to the expression on Li San's face.
Li Si also looked at Li San nervously.
The man couldn't wait any longer, so he turned to Gong Chengliang and said, "Uncle, please help me tell Village Chief Li! My wife is pregnant! I want to make some extra money to use when she gives birth!"
Gong Chengliang shook his head without hesitation: "The work belongs to the Li family, and the money also belongs to the Li family. It is up to the Li family to decide whether to continue to employ you."
The man turned to beg Li San again.
"My mother often said that a person's virtue cannot be changed in a day or two. If you really take the urgent need of money to your heart, you will not do those perfunctory tasks! Please come back!"
The blunt refusal even revealed that the person was using his pregnant woman as a justification.
The man was so embarrassed that he walked away with a red face.
After all the people who went up to the mountain to work today received their money, Li Si picked up the paper Gong Chengliang had written on, counted for a long time, and then shouted to the crowd: "Tomorrow, we will need thirteen people for the same job of chopping firewood. Do you have any uncles or brothers?"
Want to do tomorrow's work? You can sign up here now!"
Before he could even finish his words, the crowd surged forward.
Especially the one whose ears were pinched by his mother-in-law before, and who was almost jumped over by his own mother-in-law.
A group of big men, young and strong laborers surrounded Gong Chengliang, Li San and Li Si, talking non-stop.
The scene was like popcorn in a pot, so noisy.
It was Gong Chengliang who stood up and pressed his hands before everyone became quiet.
"Line up and come one by one."
In the blink of an eye, the people who had squeezed into a piece of pie immediately separated and formed a long queue.
Come up one by one, and then Li Si will decide who to hire tomorrow.
Soon, the thirteen candidates needed for tomorrow were decided.
All of them are considered to be the strongest laborers in the village.
Li Si pretended to clear his throat and said loudly: "This job will take a few days, and there are no rules. If anyone can't do it tomorrow, I will ask him to leave on the spot. Let's cherish each other.
Bar!"
When the show was over, the people who were hired smiled like fools and said to themselves that they must do a good job.
Some of those who were not hired were dejected and even more unconvinced.
For example, Gong Xiaoliu.
When he left, he grabbed two people who were not employed like him and kept mumbling.
Lin Tao just pretended not to see him and turned around and went home.
As soon as Li Si entered the door, he was busy demonstrating his merits.
Li San, that silly boy, just kept nodding in response as before, without saying a single word except um.
Listening to Li Si's non-stop croaking, Lin Tao's ears were numb.
Knowing that this kid had finally done something good, he didn't look at his face and just endured listening to him finish his rant. Finally, he rubbed the top of his head as if to praise him.
"From now on, please help your third brother more."
"Don't worry, Mom! Didn't you say that last time? What, what, brothers, and what, father and son soldiers. Anyway, it is a family that has designated to work hard in one place and get things done."
After sending the fourth child away, Lin Tao called Li San over.
"Is the charcoal kiln ready?"
Li San nodded: "I'm confused."
"Did anyone see it?"
Li San shook his head.
Lin Tao nodded and said: "Where to cut wood tomorrow, choose a place further away from today."
"yes!"
The next day, the third brother probably made the decision after discussing with the fourth brother, so the brothers led others to a place completely opposite to the location chosen yesterday.
When going down the mountain, Lin Tao still gave him 150 yuan and reminded him: "Don't be as flamboyant today as yesterday."
"Why?" Li Si asked.
After living for twenty years, yesterday was the first time that he felt so confident!
The feeling of being condescending and being looked up to by others made him feel for the first time that he was living like a human being.
"Why do you think it is?" Lin Tao asked back.
Li Si, a talkative boy, actually lowered his head in thought and began to consider it seriously.
After a long while, he replied: "Mom? You told Xiao Li in the story before Qianqian that a big tree attracts the wind. It seems to mean that if you have money, you have to hide it. You also said that you are not afraid of thieves stealing or worrying about them. Should we take it out at once?
Too much money will attract thieves to the house?"
Although this is the answer that Li Si seriously considered, but this completely out of tune answer...how can they all be strung together?
After taking a few deep breaths, Lin Tao's blood pressure calmed down.
"That saying means that if the village leader is shaken by the wind and the tree is shaken, a person with a high reputation will lose his life!" This was mentioned in the thirty-third chapter of "Journey to the West" she told the children.
"Is this talking about something as mundane as money? They are talking about meaning and where trouble comes from! When I get to your kid, there is nothing but money!"
As she spoke, Lin Tao unconsciously clenched her fists.
"Also, what you said next is because you are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about it! Are you talking about money issues? You are obviously telling you to take strict precautions against bad guys beating you for a long time.
Idea! It’s meant to remind you not to get carried away with your pride!”
When he finished speaking, a thought fell on the fourth child uncontrollably.
Li Si held his head and squatted on the ground. He looked at her pitifully and said, "Mom, my son has remembered this time." This chapter has been completed!
