Chapter 1377 Threat
"What are you two doing?" Li Tongyun was startled as her arms were grabbed. Li Baoyu saw that the naughty kid had already run away. He laughed dryly and said to Li Tongyun, "Sister... I was afraid that the kid would steal something, so I wanted to protect you."
Li Tongyun felt warm at heart when she heard this. Just as she said, Li Dazhi changed jobs every now and then, and she was surrounded by strangers in a new environment. She was also stubborn, so she didn't have many friends.
Now that she had arrived in Yong'an Forest District, Li Tongyun had finally found her organization. "Hey?" At this time, Wang Meilan held Ma Ling's hand with one hand and waved at Li Tongyun with the other hand, saying, "Come here, girls, I'll buy you some candied haws."
Li Tongyun smiled and walked over quickly.
There was a man pushing a cart selling candied haws on the side of the road. There was a pile tied to the handle of the cart, and the pile was filled with more than thirty strings of candied haws.
When Wang Meilan saw the candied haws, she immediately thought of her children at home and said to the vendor, "I want all of them."
"What?" The vendor, with his hands in his sleeves, was stunned. He had been making candied haws at home in the morning and had not come out until after lunch. He had just stood here and had not had time to shout when the man who wanted to buy everything came.
It’s so cold, who would want to stand outside? It would be better to go home early.
There were thirty-four strings of candied haws in total, and Wang Meilan bought them all.
Normally, the candied haws were not packed, but Wang Meilan wanted so much that the vendor could not give all the candied haws to her, so he ran to the store and asked the pastry seller on the first floor to give him a piece of butter paper, and then went out to pack the remaining candied haws.
Wang Meilan picked the first string of candied haws and gave it to Ma Ling, and gave the second string to Li Tongyun.
Just as Li Tongyun took the candied haws, he saw the naughty kid rushing out with his box firecrackers again.
The naughty kid stopped and just raised the gun in his hand when he saw Li Tongyun waving a candied haws at him.
The naughty kid's eyes widened instantly.
Then Li Tongyun opened his mouth and bit a hawthorn into his mouth with a "crunch".
As Li Tongyun chewed, his cheeks bulged.
Seeing this, the naughty child turned and ran away. Not long after, a child crying was heard from deep in the alley.
The peddler rode away on his bicycle, and the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce, led by Wang Meilan, walked into the department store.
Looking at Wang Meilan walking in front, Zhao Jun recalled the first time he and Wang Meilan went to Daohua County, when Wang Meilan was at a loss when she got off the car. Compared with that day, Wang Meilan's temperament had changed drastically.
Today is not Sunday, and it is not time to get off work yet, so there are not many customers in the department store in the afternoon.
"Oranges!" Wang Meilan's eyes lit up when she saw the oranges in the bamboo basket.
The oranges these days are not big and their skin is not shiny, but they taste good.
"How much is this per pound?" Wang Meilan pointed at the oranges and asked the salesperson, who replied, "85 cents."
This is not cheap.
Although forestry workers like Zhao Jun earn only a few dozen yuan a month, money is always a necessity at home. Not many people in the city can afford to buy oranges.
"How much is in this basket..." Wang Meilan was pulled away by Zhao Jun before she could finish her words.
"Mom, let's buy it when we get back." Zhao Jun raised his hand and pointed upstairs, and said to Wang Meilan, "Don't we want to buy a rice cooker?"
"Yes!" Wang Meilan, who was reminded, walked upstairs with ease. The TV in her east room was bought upstairs.
Ma Ling is also very familiar with this place. The down jacket, jeans and hairpins she is wearing were all bought on this floor.
There is also wool. Last time Zhao Jun was upstairs, he bought two kilograms of red wool for Ma Ling and asked Ma Ling to knit a sweater for herself.
When they got upstairs, everyone dispersed. Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei went to look at the rice cooker, Zhao Chun, Ma Ling, Li Tongyun and Xu Chunyan went to look at the wool, the old lady and Jie Sun wanted to buy needles and thread, and Li Baoyu and Li Ruhai ran to the place where books were sold.
Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai and Jie Chen had nothing to buy, so they wandered around the second floor aimlessly.
Suddenly, Zhao Youcai dragged Zhao Jun to a corner and said, "Give me fifty dollars."
"Dad, what do you want to buy?" Although Zhao Jun had already reached into his pocket to take out money, he still asked Zhao Youcai.
"I want to buy a pack of cigarettes." Zhao Youcai said so. Zhao Jun was startled and said, "Didn't you just open the pack at home?"
If it costs fifty, then you must be buying Shilin.
Recently, Wang Meilan and Zhao Jun discussed that after the Shilin at home was used up, Zhao Youcai would draw Yingchun. Now that their family is in the start-up stage, every penny should be spent wisely.
Zhao Jun agreed with Wang Meilan's point of view. What kind of family is this? They smoke Shilin every day?
"I want to do something." Zhao Jun frowned when he heard this and said, "Dad, what do you want to do?"
What Zhao Jun was wondering about was not that Zhao Youcai wanted to do something, but what was going on in Yongan Forest District that required his family to ask for help? And who could make their family spend so much money?
"What are you asking about, kid?" Zhao Youcai looked back and didn't see Wang Meilan coming over. He immediately turned back and urged Zhao Jun, "Hurry up!"
"Dad!" Zhao Jun became curious. He took money out of his pocket and asked Zhao Youcai, "What do you want? How about I do it for you?"
Zhao Youcai had mentioned before that he wanted Zhao Jun to help him transfer jobs, but Zhao Jun didn't think about it that way at the time. He thought Zhao Youcai still had illusions about him, but he didn't know that Zhao Youcai had already seen through him.
Knowing that Zhao Jun couldn't do it for him, Zhao Youcai set his sights on Yan Shugang.
But he was not familiar with Yan Shugang, so he thought of buying a pack of cigarettes to improve his relationship.
So when he heard that Zhao Jun wanted to do something for him, Zhao Youcai squinted his eyes, glanced at him, and said nothing.
Seeing that Zhao Youcai didn't say anything, Zhao Jun took five big unity notes and said with a smile: "Dad, just tell me what's the matter. If I can't do it, I'll ask my brother-in-law to do it for you."
"Why would I need you?" Zhao Youcai snatched the money from Zhao Jun's hand, and then said unhappily: "I don't know him?"
After saying that, Zhao Youcai turned around and went to buy cigarettes.
Looking at Zhao Youcai's departing back, Zhao Jun's mouth corners slightly raised.
The second floor of the department store became very lively in the afternoon due to the arrival of Zhao Jun and his group.
When Jin Xiaomei went to the counter and asked, she was immediately dumbfounded. A Triangle brand automatic rice cooker was priced at 115 yuan.
Jin Xiaomei was dumbfounded, not because it was expensive, but because it was cheap. Of course, cheap is relative, after all, Li Dayong's monthly salary is only a little over 100 yuan.
But because the things that Wang, Zhang and Jie gave to the Zhao family were all worth thousands of dollars, Jin Xiaomei felt that the rice cooker she gave to the Zhao family was a bit shabby.
But there was nothing else to give as a gift, so Jin Xiaomei gritted her teeth and bought three rice cookers at once.
Two of them were for the Zhao family. As more and more people ate at the Zhao family every day, one rice cooker could not provide enough food.
The other one was prepared by Jin Xiaomei for Li Baoyu. As the year was coming to an end, the day when Li Baoyu would separate from his family and live alone was getting closer, and Jin Xiaomei was increasingly reluctant to let him go.
No one knew what Jin Xiaomei said to Wang Meilan, but in the end Wang Meilan accepted the Li family's kindness and took the two rice cookers.
Then, the two of them hurried to meet up with Zhao Chun and others, as they also wanted to buy wool.
The group of people rushed to group buy, one bought five kilograms, the other bought eight kilograms. Among the women, Xu Chunyan bought the least. Her family's money was invested in the Chamber of Commerce, so she only bought two kilograms of wool to knit a big sweater for Lin Xiangshun.
The one who bought the most was, of course, Wang Meilan. She planned to knit a sweater for Zhao Youcai, Zhao Chun, Zhao Hong, Zhao Na, Zhou Jianjun, and the old lady, and she bought ten kilograms of wool for them all at once.
The yarn contains 25% wool, and costs 60 yuan per pound, so 10 pounds costs 600 yuan.
In addition, Wang Meilan also brought six kilograms of food for Zhao Ling, enough for their family of three.
What people didn't expect was that Xie Sun also bought ten kilograms of wool. She wanted to knit one for herself, Xie Zhong, Xie Chen, Liu Lanying, and Xie Yingming. Of course, if Xie Sun knitted alone, she would be exhausted. But as a group of them, they knitted when they had nothing to do at home.
The price of wool yarn depends on the percentage of wool in it. The wool yarn Xie Sun bought was not that expensive, costing only 400 yuan for 10 kilograms.
But the two of them bought 26 kilograms, plus Jin Xiaomei's 8 kilograms and Li Tongyun's 6 kilograms, the yarn seller was stunned. In a normal month, she might not be able to sell so much.
After the women paid the money, Wang Meilan called out to Li Baoyu loudly.
Yarn isn't very heavy, but it takes up space. Two pounds of yarn would make a huge pile.
Li Baoyu ran over, took off the sack from his body, took out a large sack from it, and put all the wool into it under the shocked gaze of the salesperson.
At this time, Zhao Youcai, who was buying cigarettes, also came back. As there was nothing else to buy upstairs, everyone went downstairs.
"Sister Ling'er." When going downstairs, Li Tongyun said to Ma Ling: "You have to teach me how to knit a sweater."
Ma Ling smiled and said, "Then come to my house tomorrow."
"My daughter." Wang Meilan interrupted and said to Ma Ling, "You should come to your aunt's house. We are all waiting for you to teach us."
"This..." Ma Ling hesitated. She was shy and afraid that if she went to her husband's house every day before getting married, she would be laughed at by people in the village.
Seeing Wang Meilan speak, Xu Chunyan quickly said, "Come on, Ling'er, my second sister-in-law will pick you up at her house tomorrow!"
In this kind of situation, it is two different things to have someone pick you up and to come by yourself. After hearing what Xu Chunyan said, Ma Ling said nothing.
As soon as she got downstairs, Wang Meilan was like a rat falling into a rice jar. She bought ten kilograms of small peppers, cucumbers, and garlic sprouts shipped from the south.
She also bought apples and oranges in two baskets. Whenever anyone tried to stop her, Wang Meilan would say that she had many people at home.
At this time, Zhao Youcai had become a watcher. He looked at Wang Meilan in the trunk of the car, muttering to himself that Wang Meilan was a spendthrift.
I brought enough sacks from home, and I put the vegetables and fruits in two layers and covered them with tarpaulin in the trunk.
Wang Meilan bought some cakes and canned food before she stopped. The group got on the bus and it was almost six o'clock when they got home.
At this time, everyone who worked had returned. Zhao Ling cooked first, and then Lin Xue helped her when she got home.
After eating and drinking, the diners dispersed and made an appointment to come to the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow to learn skills and knit sweaters.
When the diners left, Wang Meilan asked each of them to take a newspaper back with them.
Seeing that Li Baoyu and Li Tongyun had left with the books they had bought during the day, Li Ruhai called out to Wang Meilan and asked, "Auntie, where is the book I bought?"
"Books?" Wang Meilan was startled and asked, "Ruhai, what books did you buy?"
"That...that one." Li Ruhai was too embarrassed to say the name of the book, so he just said, "Auntie, it's the one with the newspapers."
"Newspaper...ah..." Wang Meilan glanced back and said to Li Ruhai, "You wanted to buy it, didn't your mother let you?"
"Ah..." Li Ruhai was stunned, and then he heard Wang Meilan say: "If you don't buy it, I bought it myself."
Li Ruhai: "..."
"Okay, Ruhai, you go back first." Wang Meilan said with a smile: "Wait until I finish reading, I want to see what the book is about."
Li Ruhai left in a bad mood. At this time, Zhao Youcai poked his head out from the west room and asked Wang Meilan, "How many words do you know? Do you read books?"
"I know a lot of them." Wang Meilan turned to the page she had read before, showed it to Zhao Youcai and sneered, "Look, this page teaches women how to get divorced!"
This is not true. They taught her how to manage a marriage and then talked about a few negative examples, and Wang Meilan followed those negative examples.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Youcai asked Wang Meilan, "Don't you want to live anymore?"
Wang Meilan did not respond to the words, but pointed to an article above and said, "Look at what it says here. This woman's husband is out there making money and not taking care of his family. His wife got angry and went after him at his workplace."
"What does he do at the workplace?" Zhao Youcai asked innocently, "Does he live at the workplace?"
"Go to work with him." Wang Meilan's eyes flashed coldly, and she sneered, "Aren't you disobedient? His wife accompanies him to work and after get off work every day. How great is that?"
Zhao Youcai is not stupid, and he didn't drink too much today. Zhao Youcai heard a strong threat in Wang Meilan's words.
……
It’s late at night and the night wind is still.
The mountain breeze in the winter evening makes the branches all over the mountain rustle.
In a shack, Qin Dajiang was sleeping soundly on the kang. Mountain hikers go to bed early and get up early, and they are used to it.
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared outside the shack.
"Bang!" A huge force pushed the door of the shack open, and a brown bear pounced onto the kang.
"Huh?" Qin Dajiang was awakened and could not see anything. He only smelled a fishy wind blowing towards him.
He had lived for most of his life and knew that this was not a good thing, but the next second, Qin Dajiang was pinned down by the brown bear.
Qin Dajiang couldn't see clearly, so he just waved his fists and tried to cut the blind bear's nose.
Qin Dajiang has been running in the mountains for half his life, so he is really experienced. He performed this set of turtle punches to hit the brown bear's nose and fight for a chance to escape.
But the brown bear scratched him with its claws, then lowered its head to bite him. There was a crunching sound, accompanied by a scream, and Qin Dajiang almost died from the pain.
With another crunch, the brown bear broke Qin Dajiang's other arm.
The screams continued incessantly. When Qin Dajiang's consciousness became blurred, he thought of his son Qin Qiang.
"Son, please don't avenge your father!"
