Chapter 328 There are so many women in this world, why do you have to be with her?
Li Xiaojun's money is managed by Zhang Cui.
Zhang Cui took away the passbook, change, tickets and food from the house, leaving Li Xiaojun with only a few dimes.
But he didn't take it out. He wanted to use this opportunity to bring Old Lady Liu and Li Dajun's family back to the countryside, so he lied that he was penniless and said there was nothing to eat in the evening, and asked everyone to be patient.
Old Mrs. Liu didn't want to go hungry, so she asked Li Xiaojun to go out and borrow some food.
Li Xiaojun was unwilling: "Mom, everyone is short of food now, and no one will lend me food."
Li Dajun: "How do you know you can't borrow it if you haven't tried it?"
Li Xiaojun: "If you want to borrow it, go and borrow it yourself. I won't go. You have offended all the neighbors. I don't have the face to ask for it!"
Li Dajun felt that as a grown man, it was beneath his dignity to borrow food, so he asked Old Lady Liu to step in.
They thought that as a thin old lady, she would easily win everyone's sympathy and would definitely be able to borrow some food back.
Old Mrs. Liu herself thinks so too.
The fact is, no one is willing to lend them food.
Zhang Cui is popular among people in Chang'an. She is bullied by her uncle and mother-in-law. The neighbors are upset but they don't want to interfere in her family affairs. They can only drive away these troublemakers in their own way.
So, no matter how pitiful Old Lady Liu made herself sound, no one lent her food, saying that they did not have enough to eat at home and had no extra food to lend to outsiders.
Old Mrs. Liu couldn't borrow any food and had to starve.
In fact, she had some money on her, but she was reluctant to take it out...
It is still very hot in Jiangcheng in September, and people put bamboo beds in the alleys to cool down.
Some vendors would carry poles on their shoulders and sell "Yuejin Cake" made from a mixture of corn flour and flour. If you had food coupons, one cake would cost you ten cents, and if you didn't have food coupons, one cake would cost you twenty cents.
The price is much higher than normal prices, but people still buy it.
When Li Dajun was enjoying the cool air outside, he heard the hawking of vendors, and his already hungry stomach became even more uncomfortable.
Li Xiaojun saved a lot of the money he sent home and said he wanted to go out for a walk. Then he bought three Yuejin cakes for himself and ate them without bringing any to others.
Li Xiaojun knew from the tone of Li Dajun's voice that his elder brother had eaten all the food alone. He also understood that his elder brother had money and was just treating him as a sucker.
The next morning, Li Xiaojun went to work. The factory provided a meal at noon. After get off work, he went directly to his mother-in-law's house, apologized to Zhang Cui and promised that his mother and eldest brother's family would be back soon and he would not have any contact with them in the future.
Zhang Cui: "Have you really made up your mind?"
Li Xiaojun: "Yes, I don't owe them anything. The month or so they came to the city has caused great trouble to our lives, and you and the children have suffered a lot. I'm sorry for you. After they go back, we will live a good life."
Zhang Cui: "What if they don't leave?"
Li Xiaojun: "You took away all the food and money. There is nothing to eat at home. They can't stand it in three days at most and will leave on their own."
Zhang Cui: "...I didn't mean to target your mother and elder brother. It's just that they went too far and even hit me. As long as you don't soften your heart, we can still live together. Otherwise, we have no choice but to divorce."
Li Xiaojun: "I understand. They did something wrong. When they return home, I will make it up to you and the child."
Li Xiaojun was not at home, and Old Lady Liu and Li Dajun could not borrow any food. They were so hungry that they could only buy Yuejin cakes and porridge from street vendors to fill their stomachs.
Two adults and three children spent more than two dollars on the meal.
They couldn't afford the prices in the city, so they thought about getting married again.
Li Dajun's mind was full of Zhou Rong, and he hoped that Old Lady Liu would help him marry Zhou Rong.
Old Lady Liu said in a tangled tone: "Didn't Xiaojun say that the woman surnamed Zhou had a very bad temper? She carried me home that day, and her angry look was quite scary, proving that Xiaojun was right.
There are so many women in this world, why do you have to be with her?
The money we have is getting less and less, we can’t waste it any longer, I’ll go look for someone later, we can find someone with a good temper and get things done as soon as possible, so we can settle down in the city, otherwise we can only go back to the countryside.”
Li Dajun: "Mom, I really don't like other women, I only like Zhou Rong. She has a bad temper because she hasn't met a man who can subdue her. As long as we are together, I will definitely make her obedient!
I've thought about it. If we want to make it happen, we have to outsmart him. If you cooperate with me, I promise he will marry me obediently."
Immediately, Li Dajun told Old Lady Liu about his plan.
Old Lady Liu nodded in approval: "You are smart. Let's do this. When she becomes my daughter-in-law, I will definitely set some rules for her. Let's see if she dares to act unruly in front of me again!"
Old Lady Liu bought some candies and coaxed the children in Chang'an to find out the school and class that Nini was in.
Afterwards, Old Lady Liu went to Nini's school and found a student. She said she was Nini's grandmother and had something urgent to discuss with Nini. She asked the student to call Nini to the alley outside the school.
They originally wanted to deceive the eldest and second sons, thinking that the son’s status in Zhou Rong’s mind must be higher than that of the daughter.
But the eldest and second children were almost as tall as adults, and Li Dajun was afraid that he could not control them, so he had to attack the youngest Nini...
Nini thought that it was Zhou's mother who wanted to talk to her about something, so she skipped to the agreed place.
When Nini appeared, Li Dajun picked her up, covered her mouth, and ran quickly to a deserted place.
Nini kept struggling and bit Li Dajun's palm hard, causing so much pain that he had to let go.
Nini hurriedly called for help: "Help! There are human traffickers here, come and catch them!"
Li Dajun was worried that she would call the police, so he hit her neck hard. Nini couldn't stand the pain and fainted...
Ma Daya accompanied Ma Erya to meet a date. On the way back, she saw Nini being held by Li Dajun and running fast on the road.
The two sisters realized something was wrong and hurriedly chased after him.
Ma Daya ran and shouted: "The human traffickers are catching children, everyone stop him!"
Upon hearing this, passers-by on the road blocked Li Dajun's way, asked him to hand over Nini, and said they would send him to the public security bureau.
Li Dajun argued, "I am the child's father. Something happened at home. I need to take the child back to the countryside. We are in a hurry. Please stop interfering and get out of the way."
Ma Erya: "You are talking nonsense! You are not her father, let her go!"
Li Dajun: "I am her father. If you don't believe me, wait until you meet her mother and ask her, and you'll know."
Ma Daya: "Okay, let's go meet her mother now and find out if it's true or not."
Li Dajun: "...You guys are so boring, get out of here!"
Ma Daya: "I know the child in this person's arms. She lives in the same neighborhood as us. Her father died a long time ago, and her mother has never remarried for many years, raising the child alone.
This man is a human trafficker, comrades, let's go together and take him to the Public Security Bureau and bring him to justice!"
