Chapter 13 Tell the truth
Chapter 13 Keep your word
Zhou Ruonan glared at his youngest son and said to Uncle Wang in an embarrassed tone, "Uncle, your butcher stall has just opened, and business is not going well. Such good meat..."
"Hey!" Uncle Wang interrupted her with a smile, pulling the two children and saying, "No matter how good the meat is, it's for people to eat. Others buy it and eat it. It's better for us to eat it ourselves."
Zhou Ruonan looked at her son who was greedy for meat and felt a little sad. "Thank you, uncle!"
After hearing this, Li Changle seemed to have something in his eyes. He looked up at the roof and said with a playful smile, "It's because my uncle loves his nephew so much that he is reluctant to sell such good meat and sends it to us to eat."
"Who cares about you? Give food to Anan and Xiaobao." Uncle Wang glared at him, "You're crazy. If you continue to be like before, not working hard to earn money to support your family and hanging out every day, I'll show you how I'll deal with you in the future."
"Yes! I'll remember it!" Li Changle assured quickly.
My younger uncle and aunt are really nice, unlike my older uncle and his wife, who only say nice things.
Unfortunately, he only realized later in his previous life that people who teach you a lesson or scold you are truly doing it for your own good.
Seeing his upright attitude, Uncle Wang nodded with satisfaction and said, "I still have to go and help someone kill a pig, so I'll go back first."
Li Changle suddenly remembered something, "Uncle, are you still working in partnership with the Agen family?"
Agen is the son of Wang Xiaojiu's cousin. Wang Xiaojiu has no capital but has the skill of butchering pigs. Agen's family has money but no skills. One provides the skills and the other provides the money, and they partner up to set up a stall selling meat in the vegetable market in a small town a few kilometers away from Xintang Village.
After A-man, the eldest son of A-gen's family, learned how to kill pigs from his uncle, he found an excuse to break up with him. The three of them also slandered their uncle everywhere. The younger cousin chopped off A-man's hand in anger and was sentenced to more than ten years in prison. The aunt fell ill out of grief...
Uncle Wang turned around and looked at him, "Yes! What's the matter?"
Li Changle scratched his head, "I told you not to hit me!"
"Speak! What are you doing like a woman?" Uncle Wang slapped him with his big hand like a palm-leaf fan.
"You know I like to hang out in town. The day before yesterday, I went to town with some friends to play billiards, and I heard Ah Man tell his brother-in-law that you were already teaching him how to butcher a pig, and that he would break up with you by next year at the latest."
Several decades had passed, and Li Changle couldn't remember when they broke up, so he could only make up a story, "That monkey-brain said you were a poor bastard, and by then, the only meat stall in town would be his."
Uncle Wang frowned after hearing this, "Did you hear it wrong?"
"I'm not deaf. How could I have misheard Ah Man's big tongue?" Li Changle looked at him with a hurt expression, "Uncle, I'm your dear nephew. You wouldn't distrust me and only trust Ah Gen's family, right?"
"That's not true!" Uncle Wang sat down and said, "I was just thinking that these days, Agen and his son often asked me for tips on how to collect pigs. What you said might be true. I just didn't expect that they would start to make small calculations after only working together for half a year."
Li Changle: "Think about it, Ah Gen is a cunning person. Your business must have been getting better and better in the past six months, so they are planning to break up with you."
Uncle Wang nodded and said, "At the beginning, we had few regular customers, but now we have more and more. Since last month, we sell at least two pigs a day on market days, and we can sell one pig a day on off-season days."
The town has a market every seven days, so the monthly income is really good.
Li Changle: "After the deregulation, more people are doing business, and rich people are willing to spend money. The meat stall business will only get better and better. I think you'd better break up with his family and go it alone as soon as possible."
Uncle Wang glanced at him and said angrily, "You know there are more and more rich people, but you still mess around every day? Look, how many buildings have been built in your village?
Your family still only has an old house. If you don't work hard to earn money, where will the money for building a new house come from, and where will the money for Xiaohai and Xiaozhou to marry when they grow up? "
Li Changle sat up straight and assured, "Don't worry, uncle, I'm already changing it. I'll go fishing in the afternoon when the tide goes out. You have to keep Agen's family's affairs in mind and go back to discuss it with your aunt." "I know what's going on!" Uncle Wang stood up, pointed at Li Changle and said to Zhou Ruonan, "If he dares to mess around again, come to Laotangan and tell me, and I'll teach him a lesson."
"Thank you, uncle." Zhou Ruonan took the child and Li Changle and sent him and Wang Maolin out of the house.
Wang Maolin looked at the two rooms next door. "Are the eldest and second cousins not here?"
Zhou Ruonan: "The eldest sister-in-law went to get the network cable, and the second sister-in-law went back to her parents' home to pick up Xiaobo and Xiaotao."
"Then we'll go first." Uncle Wang and Wang Maolin waved to his family and walked towards the alley.
Li Changle and his family returned to the house. Zhou Ruonan took the meat and bones out of the net bag and sighed, "My uncle has sent meat to our house several times since he started selling meat. If you go fishing in the future, we will send some good fish to you if you find any."
"Okay!" Li Changle stretched, "I'll go lie down for a while, call me when the time comes."
Zhou Ruonan nodded and said to the two children, "Xiao Hai and Xiao Zhou, go to sleep with Dad too."
"Oh!" Li Xiaozhou ran towards the room, "Dad, Mom asked us to sleep with you."
My brothers and sisters have all gone to grandma's house, so it's not fun for them to have fun. I might as well sleep with dad and go fishing later.
Li Changle saw him climb onto the small bed less than two feet away from the big bed with his butt sticking out, "Come and sleep in the same bed with Dad."
"No, I like to sleep in the same bed with my brother. My mother said that you sleep ugly. You almost crushed me once." Li Xiaozhou climbed up and lay down, patting the outside, "Brother, come here, I want to sleep with you."
"Yeah!" Li Xiaohai came in and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Li Changle, "Dad, are you really not going to go with brother-in-law Wang Mazi to sell goods in the future?"
"..." Li Changle was stunned for a moment, looking at his precocious eldest son, "Do you know what it means to move goods?"
Li Xiaohai shook his head. "I don't know. Grandma said so. Mother doesn't want you to go. She said that if you are caught by the coast guard, you will go to jail."
Li Xiaozhou sat up and said, "I don't want my father to go to jail either."
"Dad won't go to move the goods, and he won't drink and play cards with Wang Mazi anymore." Li Changle said as he reached out and pulled his eldest son over, patting him lightly on the butt as if to cover up. "You are just a kid, but you worry about everything like an old man every day. Be careful that you won't grow tall in the future."
He only now realized that the reason why his eldest brother in his previous life was not as tall as him when he grew up was probably because he worried too much when he was a child, and only grew in heart but not in height.
Children from poor families grow up early, and this statement is absolutely true for sensible and obedient children.
Looking back now, he feels that his eldest son is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed. From elementary school to high school, he has never been a cause for worry for anyone. He is the legendary child of other people's family.
"I will grow taller!" Li Xiaohai climbed onto the bed embarrassedly, lay down properly and closed his eyes, his eyeballs rolling around under his eyelids.
After seeing this, Li Changle said to him gently, "Don't worry, Boss, Dad keeps his word!"
"Oh!"
