The twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month is just a few days away from the New Year. In rural areas with the strongest New Year flavor and most rules, this is the busiest time of the year.
Every household is busy preparing for the New Year, and the Qi family is even busier.
First of all, the men of the Qi family who were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and the women of the Qi family whose eyes were red from crying. At this moment, they put all their own affairs aside, and a dozen people were busy in the yard of the second uncle Li Mu's house. Outside of work.
The Qi family specially went to the market in the town and found the owner of the glass shop. They brought materials and tools to cut the glass and repair the windows on the spot. Several men from the Qi family were rebuilding the chicken coop. They couldn't buy any hens. They could only buy them from nearby neighbors' homes. Egg-laying hens were not cheap, and the villagers were not willing to sell them. The Qi family spent several times the market price to buy ten hens from nearby villagers' homes. The old ladies swept and mopped the floor, never daring to relax for a moment.
When Li Mu's second uncle came back from the health center after treating his wounds, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. He wanted to ask but didn't know where to start, so Li Bin vividly told his parents what had just happened. Once, it scared Li Mu's second uncle and second aunt.
Not long after the second uncle came back, Qi Decheng came back. He was carrying a huge black travel bag when he came. When he saw the second uncle Li Mu was back, he walked up to him in a few steps, knelt on the ground and started to sneeze. I apologized with tears, saying that I was confused for a while, and begged for his forgiveness. At the same time, I opened the black travel bag and said that there were 400,000 in it, 300,000 of which were the compensation I gave him, and the other 100,000 represented Chen Xinmin's apology. .
When Li Mu's second uncle and second aunt were looking at a pile of cash in a daze, Qi Decheng turned to Zhang Wanjun and said: "Brother Jun, Xinmin asked me to bring him 100,000 yuan to make amends. He said he was already on his way here. Yes, he will personally apologize to you when he arrives. I also hope that you, sir, have enough knowledge and don’t have the same knowledge as him."
Zhang Wanjun nodded with a smile on his face and said: "You two are quite sensible. Seeing that your attitude is quite sincere, I won't argue with you, but you must remember it and you won't do it next time."
Qi Decheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, Brother Jun, there will be no next time."
At this time, Li Mu's second uncle said: "Lao Qi, you can take this money, I can't have it."
When Qi Decheng heard this, his heart that had just been relieved became tense again. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed, saying: "Dao Guang, please stop torturing me. If you accept this money, we will not owe each other anything in the future." , I promise to go around you every time I see you!"
Li Mu's second uncle shook his head, sighed, and said: "I am also responsible for this matter. After all, I regretted it first. This matter is over. Even if we can't be in-laws in the future, we will still be friends..."
Qi Decheng waved his hands repeatedly in fear: "Daoguang, please stop scaring me. Just accept the money. As long as you accept it, you will have the final say on our future relationship. If you say we are friends, then we are friends." "
Second Uncle Li Mu felt that he really couldn't accept such a large sum of money. If he did accept it, he would have uneasy conscience, so he insisted that Qi Decheng take the money back.
Li Mu said at this time: "Second uncle, if you don't want to accept the money, then I will give you a compromise."
Li Daoguang thought that Li Mu's method was to get him to collect less, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Xiao Mu, I really can't take any of this money..."
Li Mu nodded and said, "I know you don't want it. It doesn't matter. We don't want the money. But since the Qi family is so sincere, I don't think it's better to do this. Your business is getting better and better now, and you even hired a driver. A van can't come here, so it's better to let the Qi family buy a pickup truck and lend it to you. It won't be used for too long. It will be for five years for the time being. However, during these five years, the Qi family will have to help with the insurance and maintenance of the car. solve."
Li Daoguang said awkwardly: "How can this be done..."
Qi Decheng next to him nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice: "No problem, no problem, I will arrange for someone to go to Jinling tomorrow to have a look and buy a good one!"
Li Mu said, "Okay, it's settled."
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in his early forties rushed into the yard. As soon as he came in, he nervously asked: "Who is Brother Zhang Wanjun?"
When Qi Decheng saw that the person coming was Chen Xinmin, he hurried over and took him to Zhang Wanjun.
Chen Xinmin was willing to go out of his way and slapped him a dozen times in front of Zhang Wanjun. He offered a lot of nice words to plead for mercy, and Zhang Wanjun reluctantly accepted it.
The 100,000 yuan that Chen Xinmin nominally gave to Li Daoguang was also rejected by Li Daoguang, but Zhang Wanjun did not just let him go and said, "Qi Decheng bought a pickup truck and lent it to the Li family as an apology. What are you going to do?"
Chen Xinmin, who had just been spared by Zhang Wanjun, hurriedly expressed his position: "All the future gas money for the pickup truck will be mine!"
For Chen Xinmin, Qi Decheng had to pay for the money anyway.
Zhang Wanjun nodded and said in a serious tone: "Since you two have made a promise, you must keep your word. I don't want to come to you again to settle old scores."
"Don't worry, don't worry, it will definitely happen!"
Li Mu was supposed to invite Song Liang and Zhang Wanjun to have a meal, but tonight was the first day that his grandparents came to the house. He couldn't run out, so he could only postpone the meal. Song Liang didn't want to He cared about this, so he directly invited Zhang Wanjun and a group of his brothers to the ecological park.
On the way back, Dad Li kept asking Li Mu how he knew Zhang Wanjun. Li Mu attributed all of this to Song Liang.
Although Song Liang didn't say a few words today, Zhang Wanjun's help was purely for his sake.
Father Li was silent for a long time after hearing this. After a while, he sighed: "Let's treat Song Liang to a meal some other time."
Li Mu waved his hand and said to Dad Li: "Song Liang and I have human relations and solutions between us, so don't worry about it, let alone feel that you owe him a favor. If you need his help at home in the future, Wherever you are, you can go find him, but the favor will be on my head."
Dad Li said, "It's even more troublesome if you owe others a favor. Dad doesn't want you to be bound by favors in the future."
Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "I have advanced a large favor to Song Liang a long time ago, so don't worry."
Dad Li added: "That Zhang Wanjun, don't get too close to him. If something happens, it will have a bad impact on you..."
Li Mu nodded: "I have no friendship with Zhang Wanjun. He is Song Liang's man. To be precise, he is Song Liang's sword. Even if I need him to take action, I will ask Song Liang for help and will not interact with him directly."
Dad Li nodded and said: "Don't forget that you still have the banner of 3321 to carry. You must be cautious when making friends outside in the future, especially judge the attributes of the other party. White or red are no problem, but you can't touch black. , it will have a bad impact on you."
Li Mu agreed wholeheartedly, saying that he didn't want to be tainted, but he must have the ability to mobilize resources in this area. Money alone is not enough, and being reasonable is not enough. Sometimes you also need fists.
…
The follow-up to this incident was very smooth. The engagement between Li Fen and Qi Dayong was terminated. The Qi family paid a heavy price for their arrogance. The whole family was humiliated and had to spend more than 100,000 yuan to spend the New Year. He "lent" a Jiangling pickup truck to Li Daoguang.
After the Qi family incident, Li Daoguang's reputation in the town suddenly skyrocketed like a rocket. The good thing was that no one dared to underestimate him, even those competitors who had had evil thoughts about him. They all retreated knowingly, and even the coaxed Qi family became grandsons in front of the Li family. No one in this town dared to provoke the Li family.
In the past few days before the Chinese New Year, Li Mu took the time to secretly make two appointments with Su Yingxue. However, the two of them dated like thieves. They only dared to hold hands quietly in the car. Haizhou is too small, especially during the Chinese New Year. Wherever he goes, he is likely to run into someone he knows. Li Mu is especially afraid of meeting Su Yingxue's father, who is the police chief.
He had always wanted to find a suitable place to have a good relationship with Su Yingxue, but he never had the chance. However, Zhao Kang took Li Mu and drove him to Jinling before the New Year, and bought a Passat for his father.
There really aren't a lot of car models to choose from these days. Zhao Kang doesn't like Japanese cars. His father usually admires the German Volkswagen very highly. In addition, Li Mu's father's Passat looks very stylish, so he bought it too. He bought a Passat and planned to give his father a surprise.
But after picking up the car, Zhao Kang was about to part ways with Li Mu in Jinling with a temporary license plate. Li Mu was puzzled, wasn't he going to drive back to Haizhou to take your father to get the license plate? Where are you going with your temporary sign
Zhao Kang scratched his head and told Li Mu with an embarrassed look on his face that he had secretly made an appointment with Wang Jia. After picking up the car today, he would go directly to Wang Jia's hometown, more than 200 kilometers away, and spend the night together. , Zhao Kang will drive back to Haizhou tomorrow.
Li Mu was convinced. It turned out that Zhao Kang had made an appointment to go to Wushan with Wang Jia. This young man who had just lost his virginity really knew how to taste. He drove more than 500 kilometers to release his lower body. As expected, he was very motivated...
The two parted ways in front of the vehicle management office. Li Mu told Zhao Kang to pay attention to safety when driving, and then drove back to Jinling. When he thought that he and Su Yingxue had not made any real progress, Li Mu couldn't help but feel scratched at his heart. .
On the way back, Li Mu got excited and called Song Liang and asked Song Liang if he had any decorated and ready-made model houses for sale.
Song Liang asked in surprise: "Didn't you just move to a new home?"
Li Mu said: "I want to buy another set."
Song Liang was very curious: "What do you think?"
Li Mu said: "Nothing else, I just suddenly want to buy a house. I don't even have a house under my name now."
Song Liang said: "Okay, I'll let someone show you the current situation of the model house. You can take your uncle and aunt to take a look when you have time."
Li Mu quickly said: "I bought it myself, and I can't let my parents know."
Song Liang smiled and said: "Don't you want to hide your beauty in a golden house?"
Li Mu said: "Don't worry about it. Hurry up and ask someone to help me count it and arrange for me to view the house as soon as possible."
Song Liang joked: "As soon as possible? How fast?"
Li Mu said: "I am on my way back to Haizhou. I can view the house in two hours."
