Chapter 629: The Difference Between Humans and Animals
On this day, Qiao Zuwang was basking in the sun in the yard of his home after lunch. His youngest son Qiao Qiqi wanted to get close to him, but he was pushed aside by him in a nonchalant manner. For the children in the family, he had never been very fond of him.
I have never cared about it, let alone taking care of children.
Unknowingly, Qiao Zuwang squinted and fell asleep. When he woke up, Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei had already returned from school.
"dad."
"dad."
Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei said hello timidly, with no intention of getting close to Qiao Zuwang. Although they were still young, after so many years of getting along, they felt that their father did not like them.
Qiao Zuwang just raised his eyelids, hummed, and lowered his head listlessly.
Just when Qiao Zuwang was about to fall asleep, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man with a wretched appearance walked in.
"Old Li, why are you here?" Qiao Zuwang saw Li Heman standing up on crutches, looking closer than seeing his son or daughter.
Li Heman smiled with his hands behind his back: "I have an early shift today, so I came to see you."
"Sanli, go get your Uncle Li a glass of water."
"Alas." Qiao Sanli responded obediently, went back to the room, brought a glass of water and handed it to Li Heman.
Li Heman suddenly discovered that the little girl she once was had become slim and graceful, and there was a hint of strange color in his eyes.
"Uncle Li, drink some water." Qiao Sanli didn't notice the abnormality in Li Heman's eyes, and when she saw that he didn't take the tea cup, she gave a special reminder.
Li Heman then drank the tea in a disguised manner.
Qiao Zuwang didn't know what Li Heman's plan was, and he was very touched that he came to see him.
"Well, Lao Li, if you don't say that a friend in need is a friend indeed, look at those guys, how did I, Lao Qiao, treat them before. Ever since I became lame, they have never looked at me seriously."
Li Heman comforted Qiao Zuwang with a few words, but his eyes kept wandering around Qiao Sanli, and suddenly an evil thought came to his mind.
"By the way, Lao Qiao, I have something to do tonight. Lao Liu and the others are missing one of them. Why don't you go and help me?"
When Qiao Zuwang heard that there was a mahjong game, he picked up his crutch and started to go out.
Qiao Sanli couldn't help but remind: "Dad, you haven't had dinner yet."
"You guys eat, I won't eat at home today." Qiao Zuwang just stole two dollars from Wei Shuying's pocket last night, which is enough for one night. Huh, if you don't give him the money, he won't be able to take it himself.
Li Heman looked at the back of Qiao Zuwang running away on a crutch, secretly relieved, and looked at Qiao Sanli with bolder eyes.
Of course, before that, he still had to deal with Qiao Simei and that little slug Qiao Qiqi.
"Simei, I have two cents here. You can take Qiqi to buy some delicious food."
Qiao Simei had no doubt that he was there. After taking the money, she immediately took Qiao Qiqi to the streets.
Qiao Sanli did not realize that the danger was coming, and Li Heman was approaching step by step, when suddenly the courtyard door was pushed open by a strong force.
Li Heman was startled and quickly stepped aside. When Qiao Sanli turned around, she found that it was Qin Hao and her eldest brother Qiao Yicheng, looking at them with doubts on their faces.
"Brother, Brother Hao, why did you come back so early today? Shouldn't there be another class?"
Qiao Yicheng was so tired that he was out of breath. He leaned against the wall with his knees and said to Qin Hao: "Can you tell me what happened now?"
Qin Hao did not answer Qiao Yicheng's doubts, but walked slowly to Qiao Sanli.
"Why are you alone at home?"
Qiao Sanli explained the situation. Qiao Yicheng frowned slightly. In his impression, Li Heman was not a generous person. Why did he suddenly give his sister money to buy snacks on a whim today?
Li Heman said with a smile: "I have been living in the street for many years. I happened to be in a good mood today and saw that my children were quite pitiful, so I gave them 20 cents to treat them to something delicious."
"Oh, that's right." Qin Hao sneered.
"Yes, yes, what, I have something to do at home, so I'm going back first, you don't have to send me away." Li He felt guilty and casually found an excuse and left.
Qiao Yicheng looked at Li Heman's leaving figures suspiciously. Qin Hao winked at him and said to Qiao Sanli.
"Your brother and I have something to do, please stay at home and don't run around."
Qiao Sanli nodded obediently: "Yes."
After Qin Hao and Qiao Yicheng left, Qiao Sanli frowned slightly: "Why is everyone acting weird today?"
After going out, Qiao Yicheng grabbed Qin Hao and asked with a serious face: "Tell me, what's going on."
"Didn't you notice that when we arrived, there was no one else at home except Li Heman and Sanli?"
Qin Hao's words made Qiao Yicheng's eyes widen, and he almost blurted out: "It's impossible, right? How old is Sanli?"
"Do you know the difference between humans and animals?"
"What's the difference?"
"Beasts will always be beasts, but when humans are alive, they are not humans."
Qiao Yicheng was struggling. He believed that Qin Hao would not lie to him, especially about this matter. However, unless he saw this kind of thing with his own eyes, it was difficult to conclude that Li Heman would really do such a thing.
"Follow me." Qin Hao waved to Qiao Yicheng without giving him a chance to continue to struggle.
Following Qin Hao through the streets and alleys, going deeper and deeper, Qiao Yicheng suddenly saw the sneaky figures of Li Heman at an intersection.
Li Heman looked around for a while, then walked to an earthen house and knocked lightly on the door.
Qiao Yicheng stuck out half of his head and stared at the door.
I saw a chubby woman opening the door, putting her hand directly on Li Heman's chest, and said angrily: "You still know how to come."
"Look at what you said. I'm busy. I'll come to you as soon as I have time."
"Damn it, don't do this. Did you bring the money?"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of you. I can't do without you."
"It's like I didn't take good care of you."
Listening to the unsightly conversation between the two, Qiao Yicheng broke into cold sweat on his forehead. He couldn't imagine what kind of cruel things Li Heman would have done to Sanli if he and Qin Hao hadn't suddenly gone home just now.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On the way back, Qiao Yicheng suddenly turned around, walked a few steps and was stopped by Qin Hao.
"Are you going to call the police?"
Qiao Yicheng gritted his teeth and said, "You can't take advantage of this bastard!"
Qin Hao shook his head gently: "It's useless. We arrived in time. Li Heman was driven away before he did anything. If you go and report him now, he is just a PC at most and will be released soon."
.”
"Then we can't just let it go, right?" Qiao Yicheng's eyes turned red.
"Of course, we can only catch thieves in a thousand days but not prevent them in a thousand days. We can't watch Sanli at home every day, but we have to plan this matter carefully. Impulsiveness can't solve any problems."
After Qiao Yicheng heard this, he gradually calmed down.
"Although Sanli is usually obedient and obedient, she is actually very sensitive on the inside. Be careful not to let her see it when you go back."
On the way back, Qin Hao patted Qiao Yicheng on the shoulder and warned him.
Qiao Yicheng nodded: "Yes."
However, when he returned home, Qiao Yicheng saw Qiao Simei and Qiao Qiqi happily eating glutinous rice candies. He suddenly became angry and stepped forward to sweep the remaining glutinous rice candies to the floor.
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. Don't I usually give you pocket money? Don't I take you to eat delicious food? It's so delicious!"
It was the first time for Qiao Simei and Qiao Qiqi to see their eldest brother get so angry, and they were so frightened that they burst into tears.
Qiao Sanli looked confused: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Qiao Yicheng opened his mouth, but when he thought of Qin Hao's instructions, he closed his mouth.
Qiao Sanli coaxed Simei and Qiqi, then picked up the glutinous rice candies one by one from the ground and blew them clean, then brought them to Qiao Yicheng and said with a sweet smile.
"Brother, this is all reserved for you and second brother."
Qiao Yicheng looked at the glutinous rice candy, and then at Sanli's pretty and well-behaved face, and could only ruthlessly grab the glutinous rice candy and throw it far outside the hospital.
"In the future, you are not allowed to eat food given by outsiders. If you are greedy, go to Big Brother. Big Brother is rich."
Qiao Simei and Qiao Qiqi looked towards the direction where the glutinous rice candies were scattered with tears in their eyes, not daring to say a word, while Qiao Sanli frowned.
In the evening, when Wei Shuying returned home, she noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere at home, but Qiao Simei and the others were still young and didn't know what to ask. Qiao Yicheng refused to say anything, so she did not continue to ask questions, but called Qiao Erqiang who had just finished school.
in front of.
"Tell me, what have you been doing lately!"
Qiao Erqiang shrank his neck: "Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't do well in the math test."
"And." Wei Shuying said with a straight face.
Qiao Erqiang thought hard for a long time, with a confused look on his face: "Mom, I really have nothing to do."
"How dare you lie!" Wei Shuying slapped the table: "Tell me, did you steal money from your classmates?"
Qiao Erqiang waved his hands repeatedly: "Mom, I didn't steal any money."
"Then tell me, what is this striped T-shirt about? I've already asked about it. A T-shirt like this costs more than ten yuan, which is my ten days' salary. Where did you get the money to buy it?" Wei Shuying said.
He stood up and picked up the bamboo stick.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Erqiang hurriedly hid behind Qiao Yicheng: "Mom, I really didn't steal the money, I earned that money."
"How dare you lie? How can you make so much money!" Wei Shuying was so angry that her second son, who she thought was an honest and honest person, not only learned how to steal, but also lied freely.
"I really earned it, and my brother can prove it."
Wei Shuying's suspicious eyes fell on her eldest son.
Qiao Yicheng looked confused: "What do I prove?"
"How dare you talk nonsense!" Wei Shuying was so angry that she slapped Qiao Erqiang several times.
Qiao Erqiang jumped in pain, and explained with a grimace: "Mom, I'm really not talking nonsense."
"Brother, do you still remember the radio that Brother Hao taught me to repair a few days ago?"
Qiao Yicheng thought for a while: "That's what happened."
"Later, Brother Hao replaced the shell with a new one, and I sold it to Niu Ye. We sold it for thirty yuan in total, and Brother Hao gave me fifteen yuan."
Wei Shuying dropped the bamboo stick and came to Qin Hao's house.
"That's what happened."
Hearing Qin Hao's answer, Wei Shuying secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"The second best is here to be your apprentice, you don't need to pay him..."
Qin Hao smiled and shook his head: "Yicheng was also paid when he first started studying with me. He should naturally have a share of the money he earned. Besides, he originally repaired the radio independently. I just helped replace the casing.
"
Wei Shuying was obviously a little surprised: "The top two have only studied for less than two months, right? Can they perform independent maintenance so quickly?"
"I am born with talents that will be useful. The second best person may not be as diligent in studying, but he is still willing to work hard on the things that interest him. Sometimes you don't have to ask the second best person to be like his big brother in everything.
"
Parents in this era are somewhat rigid. They always think that children are good if they are neither noisy nor fussy, are honest and do their duty, and do not get into trouble.
Of course, this is also related to the environment in which they grew up. In the era when they grew up, being honest and honest can indeed have good competitiveness in the workplace and the marriage market.
But they did not realize that the general environment has been quietly changing. Under the rolling tide of the times, those adventurous trendsetters are the protagonists of the times, while honest people are destined to become rocks that are beaten on the shore by the waves of the times.
Qiao Erqiang walked around the yard uneasily, and Qiao Yicheng glared at him angrily.
"Now you know you're afraid, you're brave, aren't you? Spending more than ten yuan on a T-shirt means you're really rich!"
Qiao Simei also pouted and said, "It's just that the second brother is so uninteresting. He has so much money and doesn't even bother to treat us to delicious food."
"Shut up, you know how to eat every day, you're going to be starved to death."
Qiao Simei, who had suffered a terrible disaster, turned her face to the side in aggrieved tone.
At this time Wei Shuying came back, Qiao Erqiang was so frightened that Wei Shuying just said something to him.
"You are no longer allowed to buy such expensive things in the future. If you earn money, you can keep part of your pocket money. Leave the bulk to me and I will save it for you. There will be more places to spend money in the future."
"Sigh." Qiao Erqiang doubted whether he heard it wrong. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and responded with a smile.
A few days later, Qiao Yicheng saw that Qin Hao had not made any movement, so he couldn't help but ask: "Have you thought of a way to do that?"
"Let's take action tonight." Qin Hao secretly laughed in his heart. After all, he is a young man, and he can't calm down so quickly.
That night, Li Heman won money playing cards, drank some wine, and became more interested. He was about to spend the night at his old friend's place, when he met a handsome woman on the way.
"Brother, do you want to have fun?"
Li Heman was immediately fascinated, and he hugged the woman's water snake-like waist: "How do you want to have fun?"
"I hate it. I'm not ashamed to be on the street. Come to my house."
"Okay, okay, let's go."
Li Heman smelled the seductive fragrance of the woman, and his mouth almost watered.
"Hehe, although she is a promiscuous woman and not as delicate as the three girls from the Qiao family, she still has a different flavor."
The woman led Li Heman into the house. Li Heman immediately couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to untie the woman's clothes, but the woman gave him an angry look.
"I hate it, why are you so anxious? I'll do it myself and you can take off your own clothes."
"Hey, you're already home, why should you be ashamed?"
However, just when Li Heman stripped himself naked, he heard the woman suddenly scream.
