Chapter 19 Internal Conflicts
Chapter 19 Internal Conflicts
Li Kang was not being hypocritical when he said this.
Li Kang doesn't care at all about Li Jianhua's current life or whether he is accepted or not.
If she really thought about him, she would have brought them mother and son to Shanghai long ago.
If he hadn't been forced to do so, he would never have come to Shanghai.
However, the obsession of my predecessor was too strong, and I couldn't calm down unless I took a look at it.
"I just came to see my father. Whether he accepts me or not, I will go back."
"But I heard from Grandpa that Kang's father was a very capable man. He was the best among the group.
I heard he is doing well now. Even if I stay with him, it is better than going back to that crappy place in Yunnan."
"That has nothing to do with me. No matter how well he does, it's his business. I definitely won't need to rely on him in the future."
“Putting all your hopes on others is equivalent to handing your fate over to others.”
Liu Lang seemed to understand but felt that this moment of Kang Ge was great.
Lin Meixia also looked at him with admiration.
"Meixia, how about you?" Li Kang asked her with concern.
"Brother Kang, do you really not want to stay in Shanghai? It's so nice here, with convenient transportation and all kinds of food."
"I want to stay in Shanghai, but I don't want to be separated from Brother Kang."
The girl was somewhat dependent on Li Kang's care and was washing clothes for Li Kang like a little wife.
Suddenly, I felt something hard on my hand and reached into my pocket to feel it.
It turned out to be a thick stack of banknotes.
"Brother Kang, you forgot to take out the things in your pants, come and take a look."
Li Kang thought, what didn’t I touch?
I subconsciously touched my pocket and felt it was empty, "Oops!"
The money was not found.
Fortunately, Lin Meixia helped him take it out and washed it.
"You counted correctly, I just discovered it."
Li Kang trusts Meixia, so he naturally won't count the details.
The total amount is 3400 yuan.
Three thousand came from the kind-hearted Tang Deshang, and four hundred was the fee for tutoring others.
This amount of money already makes one rich.
A large number of Shanghai residents only have a few thousand yuan in savings, and very few have over ten thousand yuan in savings.
Prices are high, income is low, and savings are also low.
The house price is not expensive at all, but Li Kang has never asked about the exact price.
If he works hard, he will be able to settle down in Shanghai soon.
"Brother Kang, if my father doesn't want me, can we stay in Shanghai and work hard together?"
“I don’t want to go back to Yunnan.”
"Ah~! If I don't go back to Yunnan, how can I study? I still need to take the college entrance examination."
Lin Meixia looked at him and said, "I heard that studying is actually useless. We should just do some business in Shanghai."
Li Kang felt that Lin Meixia had a very thorough understanding and had a good business sense. In this era, one could make money by doing any business.
Having this idea proves that Lin Meixia is not stupid.
At that time, people generally had a small peasant mentality and lived a life of contentment.
Work honestly and conscientiously.
I rarely think about doing business.
The twenty years starting from the 1990s were the best era for entrepreneurship.
You can make money by doing any small business. If you have a good vision, you can make a lot of money.
"You're thinking too early. You still need to study hard to make money."
Li Kang said something against his will, and even he himself didn't believe it.
I just want to stabilize Lin Meixia temporarily and consider it later.
"Look, I made 200 yuan today by tutoring others. This is the value of knowledge."
"But Kang Ge, what should I do if I am not good at studying? I can't concentrate on my studies at school."
"Many of my classmates have gone out to work with their parents. Their parents also said that studying is useless."
Li Kang calmed Lin Meixia down temporarily and said, "Let's talk about it after we meet your father. Don't worry, Brother Kang will definitely not let you live a bad life in the future." Guo Yixing and Zhang Yiming also finished washing.
Several boys were wearing the same clothes, from Liu Jun.
Guo Yixing came in and threw the clothes into Meixia's basin without saying a word.
"Meixia, help me wash the clothes."
Lin Meixia shouted directly, "Ah~ Guo Yixing, what are you doing! Take your dirty clothes away quickly."
"Meixia, please help me wash it." Guo Yixing begged with a thick skin.
"No! Take it away now."
Guo Yixing still refused to give up and kept begging.
Zhang Yiming took a basin, collected water and washed himself.
"Guo Yixing, if you don't take it away, I will throw your clothes away." Meixia was almost on the verge of getting angry. It seemed like Guo Yixing was a fool and didn't realize it.
Fortunately, Li Kang spoke up, "Yixing, why don't you wash it yourself? If Meixia doesn't want to, why are you pestering her?"
Guo Yixing took the clothes back reluctantly, but he still refused to give up: "You are so stingy. What's wrong with helping me wash my clothes? You help Kang Ge wash them, but you don't help me."
Lin Meixia blushed and said to him, "I don't want to help you wash! Your clothes are the stinkiest. You haven't washed them in ten days or half a month."
This was the truth. Zhang Yiming and Liu Lang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
I've long wanted to complain about Guo Yixing's sweaty smell.
This journey was really unbearable.
Guo Yixing was like a puppy with its fur standing on end. He grabbed Meixia's hair, gritted his teeth, and said angrily, "What did you say? Whose clothes are smelly!"
He was about to punch Meixia with his other hand, but Li Kang saw it and grabbed him in time.
"Guo Yixing, what's wrong with you? Do you want to hit Meixia?"
Liu Lang, Zhang Yiming and Meixia all have a good relationship, so it’s okay not to help them wash their clothes.
The two men held Guo Yixing down and said, "You are a monk, how can you be so stingy? I won't wash your clothes for you, but you have to rely on Meixia."
"Now you want to beat people up, we misjudged you."
"Let me go!" Guo Yixing was like a little beast with its fur standing on end. He opened his mouth wide as if to bite people, and punched and kicked at the same time with considerable strength.
Meixia hugged Li Kang's arms and was made to cry by Guo Yixing.
"Guo Yixing, what's wrong with you today? Aren't you usually very honest?"
Along the way, Li Kang felt that Guo Yixing was quite honest and straightforward, and he spoke very directly. At that time, he thought it was nothing.
"Brother Kang, he must be pretending. Monks are not honest."
The noise in the backyard startled the adults outside.
"Oh my God, what are you doing? We are all friends, why are you fighting?"
Guo Yixing was pinned to the ground by them, roaring loudly, "Let me go, I'm going to beat you two to death."
A few words destroyed all the friendship we had built along the way.
Liu Lang is also a tough guy. When he was in Xishuangbanna, he dared to fight with senior students. He has plenty of ways to deal with a spineless person like Guo Yixing.
He used his hands and feet to kick him twice and slap him several times, beating Guo Yixing until he cried.
"You're a coward. You didn't dare to fight back when others bullied you, but you dared to fight back when hitting Meixia!" Liu Lang rode on him and beat him up.
Liu Jun ran over and quickly pulled his nephew and Zhang Yiming apart, "Why are you fighting for no reason?"
Guo Yixing cried in front of the adults, "They all bullied me." With snot and tears running down his face, he looked really pitiful.
These are all children, and it's hard to blame anyone.
"What's going on? Liu Lang, why are you so upset?"
Liu Lang pointed at Guo Yixing and said, "He was the one who bullied Meixia first. When Meixia refused to wash his clothes, he started to beat her up."
He also warned: "If you dare to bully Meixia again, I will beat you!"
Guo Yixing held Liu Jun's hand and cried, feeling aggrieved and not daring to speak.
"Alright, alright. My dear, don't do this to your friends."
Grandma Cai ran in and tried to pull her grandson out.
"I won't leave. Grandma, please don't pull me away. If you want to pull me away, pull Guo Yixing away."
Liu Jun took Guo Yixing out, and Old Man Liu was left to comfort the backyard, while Guo Yixing was left in the care of other people.
