When Li Danian and the others heard this, they looked at each other anxiously. “Uncle Zhiming, didn’t your Xiao Xu open a vegetable shop in the city? Tell Xiao Xu to buy all the vegetables in our field. If we don’t sell them now, we won’t be able to,” Li Danian said nicely.
The roots had probably started to rot. If they didn’t harvest the vegetables now, they would only rot in the field.
Even if they did, they couldn’t keep them for too long if they were soaked in the rain.
Therefore, they could barely keep some money by selling them now.
“What are you thinking about? My Sister’s vegetable store is only that big. We can’t even sell our vegetables. Why should we sell your vegetables?” Li Yong snorted and said.
Li Danian ignored Li Yong and just looked at Li Zhiming and begged, “Uncle Zhiming, we are all fellow villagers. Please help us. We will never forget your great kindness in our lives.”
“I really can’t help you. If I could, why wouldn’t I help?” Li Zhiming explained. “Uncle Zhiming, your family’s situation is different from ours! Your family has money. Even if you really lose this money, when the rainy season is over, you still have the capital to make a comeback. But we are different. Our families have really gone bankrupt for this greenhouse. Please do us a favor and let Xiao Xu buy our vegetables. The price will be whatever you want. It doesn’t have to be too high. In this case, your Xiao Xu won’t suffer a loss.”
Hearing Li Danian’s words, Li Yong couldn’t help but laugh.
“According to what you said, my Sister should thank you, right?”
Liu Guihua, who was beside him, pulled him back, afraid that his words would be too harsh.
After all, they were neighbors. If things got too awkward, how would they meet in the future.
Of course, she also scoffed at Li Danian’s suggestion in her heart.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t seen the vegetables in Li Danian’s shed.
They were all wilted. Not only were they small, but the color wasn’t good either.
They wanted to sell such vegetables at a high price, but the key was that they couldn’t sell them!
“Li Yong, aren’t you going a little overboard with your words? You know I didn’t mean it that way!” Li Danian was also a little angry.
“Then what do you mean? Our family is rich, so it doesn’t matter if the vegetables rot in the ground. Your family doesn’t have money, so my sister has to take all your vegetables? is that what you mean? You’re poor, so you’re right, isn’t it?”
No matter how Danian and the others looked at it, Li Zhiming’s family was impervious. At this time, they also lost their patience.
“Li Yong, how can you say that? Which family didn’t come from poverty? Your family has been living a good life for a few days, and now you’re looking down on us?” Another person said angrily.
Li Danian pointed at Li Yong’s nose and scolded, “Li Yong, shouldn’t you be responsible for this matter? If it weren’t for your family set up a greenhouse, would we follow suit? You guys just watched as we invested all of our assets into it and didn’t say a word. You’re just waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves, right?”
Li Yong wasn’t someone to be trifled with, he immediately went forward and said, “You guys are doing the same thing as our family setting up a greenhouse. You guys are clearly following the trend, and now it’s our fault? Now that you’ve lost money, you’re blaming us. If you earn money, would you be able to share it with us?”
Seeing his brother and Li Danian confronting each other, Li Lei silently stepped forward and stood beside Li Yong to support his brother.
“Besides, what do you mean by us not telling anything? Watch your mouth! Didn’t my father remind you guys not to invest too much in this year’s rainy season? You guys didn’t listen, who’s to blame now?”
“Every single one of you in your family is very sinister. At that time, we had already invested a lot of money. If we didn’t continue, wouldn’t the previous ones have gone down the drain? Since you knew that the weather was bad this year, why didn’t you warn us earlier?” Li Danian argued.
Li Yong was so angry that he laughed. “Am I God? Can I know a few months in advance that there would be a flood this summer?”
He looked around and ran to the kitchen to get some firewood. “All of you, leave. If you continue to spout nonsense in my house, be careful that my stick doesn’t have eyes!”
As he said that, he waved it a few times in a decent manner.
Li Danian was so scared that he hid back for a moment. He did not pay attention to his feet and squatted on the ground.
The scene was a mess. Li Yong and Li Lei took the opportunity to chase the three troublemakers out.
After closing the door, Li Yong spat on the ground, “Pei, what bad luck!”
Having lived in the same village for so many years, he really didn’t know that Li Danian was so thick-skinned.
“This kind of person deserves to lose everything!” Li Yong said bravely.
The whole family didn’t say anything. Not long after Li Yong sat down, Li Lei stood up. “Dad, Mom, I’m going to Sister’s place to check on the situation. I’ll discuss it with her and visit Xiaoning at the same time!”
Li Miao was a little worried. “It’s raining so heavily outside. How are you going to get there?”
Li Lei said, “Don’t worry. I’ll go there by bike. I’ll be fine.”
Li Miao was still a little worried. “It’s better not to go. What can Big Sis do? If we go, we’ll be giving her a hard time!”
Li Lei was silent for a moment before saying, “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. I won’t make things difficult for Big Sis. I won’t be back tonight. Don’t wait for me for dinner.”
He took out a raincoat from the side, put it on, and rushed out in the rain.
He pushed the bicycle out from under the metal shed next to the courtyard.
The puddle on the ground was a little deep. He walked out slowly with the water dripping.
Li Yong stood up. He wanted to follow him.
But on second thought, he was afraid that Li Danian and the others would come back to cause trouble again.
With only his Little Sister and his parents at home, he was afraid that they would not be able to control them.
He sat on the wooden cart dejectedly and let out a long sigh.
At this time, the rain was very heavy. Li Lei did not dare to walk fast. He was afraid that he would slip and could only walk slowly.
He could have reached the distance in half an hour, but he painstakingly walked for almost an hour.
Even so, he still fell several times on the road.
When he reached Li Xu’s shop, he was covered in mud.
Li Xu’s neighborhood was located on a higher elevation, and the drainage system was also better. The business of the shop was not affected.
Seeing Li Lei’s miserable appearance, Li Xu was so scared that she hurriedly came up to him. “What happened?”
Li Lei stood under the eaves of the door and patted the mud on his body. “Nothing, I just fell on the road!”
Li Xu took a towel to wipe his face. “Arc you alright? Did you fall?”
Li Lei shook his head. “No!”
Li Xu looked up at her watch. It was almost five o’clock. It was almost time to go home and cook.
“Let’s go home first. You should change your clothes. The children should be back by now.” Li Xu dragged Li Lei home.
The weather had not been good these few days, so Li Xu ordered the children to go home before five o’clock at night..
