Chapter Forty-One: Separation
A big show ended. As the crowd gradually dissipated, Lao Qiu and his men retreated in a mess. Although they were not as good as urinating, they could still be considered a fleeing in a hurry.
What if he doesn't matter, these hundreds of pounds of goods have been handed over, and the money he has been holding in his palm can finally pay everyone's salary.
Jiang Hao thought to himself, but he could never relax his face. After all, the problems Xiaobei Village has to face cannot be solved with just this little money.
He lit a cigarette for the first time, but unfortunately he had never smoked it before. He was choked a few times and coughed a few times.
Zhang Wu limped around with a crutch, directing others to clean up the mess.
Jiang Hao resisted the urge to throw Zhang Wu away the crutch, pressed him back into the room, and watched coldly as he looked up at the look of worrying again.
It was very dark, and the teahouse under the dark night had a faint light. The only three light bulbs were installed when the village committee built the infrastructure. A group of tiny mosquitoes and flies were flying under the light, flying around in circles.
.
The scattered tea leaves scattered on the tea farm were wet by the rain and fog that fell on the night. They stuck to the ground and couldn't sweep them. Xiaoli looked at the tea leaves that were finally fried but were wasted so much, and his face was filled with heartache.
"Stop picking it up, rinse it away." Zhang Wu raised his crutch and pointed at the sink over there, almost staggering and unable to stand firm.
Xiaoli pulled up the bucket and used a spoon to scoop the tea leaves on the ground, ruining them. He muttered while sweeping.
Jiang Hao pinched off the cigarette's butt and quickly supported him. Without saying a word, he grabbed the crutch and climbed Zhang Wu with his right hand on his shoulder. He almost half-held and half-carried Zhang Wu into the house. Zhang Wu only felt that
My butt cooled down. It was summer. My original cotton-padded quilt shop had been replaced by Aunt Su's mat.
"Oh hey!" Zhang Wu felt his legs, which were covered in plaster, felt a numbness, and howling in the ghosts.
Jiang Hao looked at him coldly, stood his crutch beside the bed, gently moved his legs to the bed, and put a pillow filled with cassia under his feet. Zhang Wu felt that his legs were no longer numb.
"Give me some rest."
Jiang Hao's unpredictable tone made Zhang Wu hold back what he wanted to say.
As soon as I opened the curtain, I saw the village party secretary Li Changsheng coming from afar.
The briefcase on my hand was still a bit worn, the glasses on my nose were covered with a layer of mist, and I walked quickly like the wind, as if there was something urgent to do.
Jiang Hao suddenly remembered Li Yu who was in the tea room next door, and his heart skipped a beat.
After Li Yu came to Xiaobei Village, he kept telling her to hide and meet people, but there were too many people, so she would inevitably reveal her whereabouts inadvertently. Seeing that Li Changsheng was about to come, Jiang Hao could only bite his teeth and greet him.
Go up.
Li Changsheng saw Jiang Hao standing at the door with a honest look on his face. His iron-gray face made people feel a little anxious to retreat.
"Where is Li Yu? Hand over her!"
Li Changsheng raised his glasses on his nose and reached out to wipe the mist on his eyelids.
Li Yu, who was hiding in the tea-making room and Aunt Su was burning firewood, heard the sound outside the door, and the familiar sound made her heart tremble. Her hand holding firewood shook, and her eyes were confused.
Aunt Su heard the noise and saw Li Yu's face change, she knew that there would inevitably be another dispute next.
"Uncle, who are you talking about?"
Jiang Hao was lying with his eyes open. He was not used to lying, and his face was a little unnatural.
"Hmph! Don't play tricks with me!" Li Changsheng pushed Jiang Hao away, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw Zhang Wu lying on his back.
Zhang Wu turned his head and looked at Li Changsheng. Before he could speak, Li Changsheng hurried out of the house.
Jiang Hao wanted to take the opportunity to block Li Changsheng's whereabouts, but he was defeated by his sharp and majestic eyes.
Li Changsheng had only taken a few steps and suddenly stopped.
Li Yu's face was stained with a little charcoal ash, and his two ponytails were black and shiny. He stood in front of Li Changsheng like a child who did something wrong, but he felt a stubborn and stubborn on his face.
Seeing his daughter like this, Li Changsheng looked at Aunt Su who was standing behind her, and his anger burned in his heart.
For nearly twenty days, he kept asking about his daughter's whereabouts. Unexpectedly, this girl actually followed a few kids to the provincial capital. She passed by her home and didn't go home, so she went back to Xiaobei Village with these kids.
When these things spread, this girl's reputation was defeated. Which other family would she expect to marry?
Li Yu muttered, with tears in her eyes. She didn't want to return to the home without freedom. She wanted a free and lively environment like Xiaobei Village, rather than the cold and bound home.
Li Changsheng confronted Li Yu with a strict father-like attitude, and no one spoke, nor did he want to bow his head.
Seeing this, Jiang Hao was about to step forward, but Li Changsheng stepped forward and pulled Li Yu and said, "Let's go, go home with me!"
Li Yu struggled hard, trying to get rid of Li Changsheng's shackles, but this little strength was just an egg hitting a stone.
"I don't..." Li Yu begged hard, tears falling down.
Seeing this made Jiang Hao feel tight and a feeling of distress arise.
"Uncle, don't do this." Jiang Hao stepped forward to stop him, but was pushed away by Li Changsheng.
"Get out, you kidnapped my daughter's account, I'll settle it with you later!"
While Li Changsheng was pulling Li Yu, Li Yu could only endure the pain and was led by him all the way.
Jiang Hao looked at Li Yu's eyes looking back at help, but he could only watch her and Li Changsheng's backs disappear at the entrance of the village.
"Oh, this kid." Aunt Su sighed heavily. Everyone knows that women in this era are too vocal and want to be gossiped about. Li Yu's style is probably spread throughout Xiaobei Village.
