Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Chapter 22: gone

Views:

Li Wei's ability to adapt has always been good. She had already gotten used to the life of this era less than half a month after traveling. Now it only took a day or two to fully adapt to the campus life that was completely different from the girls' private school.

Before this, most people looked at her with disdain, or regarded her as a joke. However, when the transcript was announced, it really slapped those people in the face.

Li Wei knew what he was doing and what he wanted. She spent all her thoughts on her studies and was very low-key in school. She never pushed herself to stand out. She was quiet and didn't talk much to the people around her. Even Zhu Haiyan, who used to go in and out with her, naturally became alienated. She had almost no friends in school.

Li Wei didn't have time to take care of her friendships. In her opinion, these were unnecessary things. She knew that the only one she could rely on for everything was herself.

So gradually everyone felt that Li Wei was becoming more and more withdrawn, exuding a cold temperament, and no one dared to approach her.

After finally finishing the last class, Li Wei was already hungry, so he got up and packed his things to go home for dinner.

When Li Wei finally walked home, there had just been a fierce quarrel at home.

Li Minghua was smoking in the main room with a depressed look on his face, while the other one was hiding in the kitchen and secretly wiping tears.

Li Wei was startled and wondered what was going on.

Seeing that her daughter was back, Liu Chunzhi secretly wiped the wet corners of her eyes, stood up and said, "Weiwei is back. You can help light the fire, and we will cook."

Liu Chunzhi then got up and washed her hands, getting ready to start cooking.

"What happened?" Li Wei is still not used to calling his parents.

While washing the rice pot, Liu Chunzhi said to her daughter: "Your eldest brother left a simple letter and left."

"Let's go? Where are we going?"

"He said in the letter that he was going to the city to make a living, and he took the money he had saved with him."

"How much money was taken away?" Li Wei thought to herself. Did Li Jianping steal money from the family

"About two hundred yuan, all of which he saved while helping in the brick and tile factory. Weiwei, do you think your elder brother will do anything random with this money?"

Recklessly? Li Wei thought to herself that Li Jianping was only 18 years old. Many people at this age in Daqi had already married and had children, but in this era, most of them were still older children and did not have much self-control. She was really not sure about Li Jianping. Will you take the money and squander it

She had been to the city once, and if she wanted to go eat, drink, and have fun, she would probably run out of money in just a few days.

"Brother, he is quite stable. He probably won't spend it lavishly. Didn't he say he was going to the city to find something to do before? Maybe he will actually find something to do. He shouldn't spend money arbitrarily." Li Wei said it right. They all feel unconfident.

"He just doesn't listen to advice. He did this all of a sudden, and your dad still blames me."

"What's your fault?"

"It's my fault for not holding him back. I didn't know he was causing such trouble for me. If anything happens in this family, he will always talk about me."

Liu Chunzhi babbled the rice out of the pot, and Li Wei helped light the fire. Liu Chunzhi was busy chopping vegetables.

Li Minghua had finished smoking a cigarette and walked to the kitchen door and said: "I'm not going to eat anymore. I'm going to the city to see where the kid is and if I can bring him back. There's still something on the tile kiln." There is so much work waiting to be done, and Lao Zhang also said that wages will start to increase this month.”

Liu Chunzhi said: "Go ahead. When you find him, don't scold him. Talk to him properly. He is a stubborn person. The more you yell at him, the more he will fight against you."

Li Minghua pushed the bicycle and left without saying anything.

The mother and daughter cooked. Liu Chunzhi fried three dishes and left some of the food for Li Minghua and Li Jianbo to come back to eat.

After the meal, Li Wei naturally got into his room.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when Li Jianbo returned home. Li Wei was the only one at home. As usual, Li Wei helped him heat up the food while Li Jianbo first cared about Li Wei's academic performance.

Li Wei told the truth. Li Jianbo smiled and patted Li Wei's head gently and said, "Look, as long as you work hard, it will still be effective. By the way, why are you the only one at home, where is mom?"

Li Wei said: "I don't know."

"Oh." Li Jianbo didn't ask any more questions. After eating, Li Wei took a book and asked him a few math questions. Li Jianbo patiently explained them to her.

Li Minghua came back before dark. As soon as he got home, he cursed and said, "This little brat has grown up and dares to yell at me."

It seemed that the persuasion was fruitless.

Li Jianbo then felt something was wrong and asked, "What happened?"

Li Minghua said: "We will leave early tomorrow and call your eldest brother back."

"Brother, he... is going to the city to do some work?" Li Jianbo was not surprised at all.

"Yes, you should persuade him properly. He is alone outside with no one to take care of him. People here are saying that their wages are going to be raised. What if he suddenly runs away here?" Li Minghua felt that Jian Bo might be able to persuade Jian Ping. .

Unexpectedly, Jian Bo thought about it for a while, but said calmly: "Dad, you don't have to worry about your elder brother. It's a good thing that he can go out and have some adventures like this. Maybe he can use it in the future if he learns some experience."

Li Minghua and his wife were dumbfounded. Jian Bo didn't object? And judging from his calm look, did he already know about this

Even Li Wei looked at Li Jianbo blankly, and after a while he said, "Did Brother discuss this with you?"

Li Jianbo did not deny it, nodded and said with a smile: "We discussed it. I thought my parents knew about it, so I didn't tell you specifically."

Li Minghua quit: "You two brothers are all colluding. Jian Ping is just a kid who hasn't grown up. Isn't this just fooling around?"

"My eldest brother is over 18 and has no children for a long time. He knows what he is doing. You two might as well give him some time to see if he can make a name for himself. It is impossible for our family to farm for a lifetime."

Li Minghua wondered what else farmers could do if they didn't farm. Jian Bo looked smart, but he was actually stupid.

Turning around, Li Wei asked Li Jianbo quietly: "Second brother, do you have any thoughts about this family?"

Li Jianbo said: "I have an idea, but I just want to make life easier at home. Mom, just don't work so hard. Brother, take the right path and don't make any mistakes. As for you, the most important thing now is to study hard and don't cause trouble for mom. That’s it.”

Li Jianping was instigated by Li Jianbo to go out to work, because he knew that Li Jianping had caused trouble in the brick and tile factory that year, and he got into trouble after a dispute with someone. Li Jianping was young and hot-tempered, and beat the man into the hospital. Later, he was imprisoned for intentional injury.

After coming out, there was no improvement in my life.

Because of the premature death of his sister, the eldest brother went in again. After two blows, Liu Chunzhi fell ill and one day she fainted in the farmland. After being sent to the hospital for a careful examination, she discovered that she had a terminal illness.

This is Li Jianbo's biggest regret. He finally returned to his youth and wanted to change the tragedy in his family.
