The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 455
Li Weidong was not a troublesome person, and he was even more unwilling to intervene in other people's affairs, let alone such a major matter of family inheritance.

However, Li Wen is his own child, and he usually has a good relationship, so he still has to give kind reminders. If he really didn't say anything beforehand, he wouldn't owe anything in his heart.

"I'll give him a reminder tomorrow!" Li Weimin also realized the importance of the matter after hearing his brother's remonstrance three times.

"It's getting late, clean up the table and go to rest!" Li Weidong looked at the big clock hanging on the wall, it was eleven o'clock, and said with a yawn.

A table of leftovers, a few people stood up and wanted to clean up, Shen Yueying walked in from the outside and said: "Go to sleep, put it there, I will clean up!"

The three of them glanced at each other, and quickly took the leftovers to the kitchen and dumped them directly into the trash can. If Shen Yueying was to clean them up, they would definitely have to keep the edible leftovers for the next meal.

That night, in the familiar air of his hometown, Li Weidong slept very soundly. When he woke up, the sun had already shone through the windows of his house.

Li Weidong got up and stretched out facing the window. It was another sunny day.

When I went downstairs after washing, almost everyone in the family got up, but there was nothing to do in winter, and there were no chickens, ducks, geese and dogs at home, and they sat up when they got up.

"Brother, wake up!" Li Weimin handed over a cigarette.

"Well, I'll do it myself!" Li Weidong took the cigarette, refused his brother's lighting, took the lighter and lit the cigarette, his family did not make a fool of himself.

Seeing the things that have been placed under the eaves at the door, they were bought for grandparents, and they are expected to go later. Li Weidong needs to give his father-in-law a new year gift, and Li Chengwen can't help it.

"Going to grandma's house later?" Li Weidong asked, taking a puff of cigarette, his mother must send gifts, someone must deliver them, either Li Weidong or Li Weimin, or both of them.

"I won't go, there are still things in the company, I have to deal with them!" Li Weimin said a little unnaturally.

"What's the age, the company still has something to do." Li Weidong shook his head, but he didn't mean to ask. His younger brother is in his hometown and he can see his grandma and grandpa anytime.

"Hey, it's a little thing!" Li Weimin said with a smile with some embarrassment.

"Don't count on him, he doesn't dare to go!" Li Chengwen came in from the outside with his hands behind his back, just in time to hear what the two of them said, and interjected.

Followed by Gao Anbang, he was still holding a bucket with four carps in it. When the old man came back from buying fish, Gao Anbang met him, so there was no reason for the old man to carry the bucket.

"I'm still afraid of him. If it wasn't for my grandma's face, I wouldn't be able to beat him to death!" Li Weimin was a little annoyed at his father's confession.

"What's going on?" Li Weidong asked a little confused, there must be something he didn't know.

"Hmph, that kid also deserves a beating, what!" Li Chengwen asked Gao Anbang to put the fish in the yard, checked that the fish in the bucket were all right, and then said something endlessly.

It's not that he didn't want to say it, but that Shen Yueying came out from the inside and asked, "Have you bought it? I only found out last night that it's time to give fish this year!"

"Isn't that right? I asked that boy Li Qi to smash the ice and row a boat to fish it. The ones he picked were the average size, and each one weighed two catties!" Li Chengwen said, pointing to the bucket.

There are many customs in rural areas. Daughters married in the leap year have to give fish to their mothers. Eating it can avoid disasters. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it’s not expensive anyway.

But this year is obviously not a leap year, but this year is a leap year. I don’t know where the news came out that leap years must be given away. Shen Yueying immediately took heart after hearing it last night.

Of course, you can still live well by giving fish, but buying live fish these days is not the future. There are vegetable markets anytime, so you can only go to the fish farms in the reservoir to buy them.

It’s winter now, and the sides of the reservoir are frozen. If you buy three or five pieces, you have to smash them into the ice. People are still unwilling to sell them, so you have to get together to get in once, which means that Li Chengwen has a big face.

When Shen Yueying was satisfied and went to work in the kitchen, Li Weidong looked at his brother-in-law and younger brother, wanting to hear how he offended his grandmother.

"Shen Xuehai from my second uncle's family was messing around in the company, and I caught him. I said a few words to him, and he dared to dance with me. I punched him with an uppercut, and he lost a tooth!" Li Weimin felt a little helpless. Said, mainly because this tooth is too expensive.

"I didn't see it, my hands are quite strong!" Li Weidong could imagine the scene where he had to use pliers and wrenches to pull out a tooth, and a tooth could be knocked out with a fist, which hurts even thinking about it.

"Hey, that bastard, he is in charge of the construction site, and there are five, no. 60 people working under him. I didn't expect to be black-hearted, and dare to deduct wages!"

Li Weimin didn't care about his brother's teasing, so if he could tease, he probably wouldn't blame him.

"He usually deducts 50 yuan from the wages paid to the workers, 50 yuan a month, two or three days' wages, it's too black-hearted!"

"Is there anyone who refuses to give it?" Li Weidong asked, he was indeed black-hearted, and it was even more unacceptable than receiving favors from material suppliers.

"He told everyone that he was my cousin. Everyone on the construction site knew about it. Whoever refused to pay, let him take all the money, and let the old blame... let me take the blame!" Li Weimin quickly changed his words.

"I used to find gold, it was easy to get it, and the money was deducted by touching it lightly, and others thought it was less money, and no one told me!" Li Weimin pursed his lips and continued.

"However, since last year, the company paid wages through the bank, and the wages were credited to the credit card. He also asked the workers to withdraw the money and hand it over to him every month. How did you think this way!"

"I have to spit out the meat in my mouth. Someone must be unhappy. They wrote an anonymous report letter and sent it to me. I checked and it really happened!"

"Guess how much he got? I counted the last few years, it's almost a hundred thousand, and the money for a house came out!" Li Weimin said angrily.

"I asked him to return the money to others, and he bounced back to me with a dirty mouth. I punched him angrily, who would have thought his teeth were so weak!"

Li Weidong was also angry in his heart, his mouth was not clean, he must be swearing, scolding Li Weimin is probably the same as scolding him, if you do something wrong, you dare to swear, if you don’t hit anyone!

"That child should be spanked, I think spanking is still light!" Li Chengwen nodded seriously, and Gao Anbang next to him also nodded.

It wasn't a day or two for Li Chengwen to have opinions on his brothers-in-law. He was not sure what to say, and he had to say something that his brothers-in-law disliked him if he had nothing to do.

But his brother-in-law Gao Anbang was fairly fair, and he nodded to show that the matter had not gone away, and probably scolded him quite harshly.

"Why don't I know about this matter, how did you deal with it in the end?" Li Weidong was curious that he knew less and less about family affairs now.

It's deceitful to knock out a tooth and swallow it in the stomach. If you don't blackmail you, how can you be worthy of the teeth given by your parents, and your parents dare not damage your body, hair and skin.
But beating people in this society is always wrong, and beating a dog is up to the owner, besides, he is my uncle's cousin, so I can't just let it go like this.

"Your mother won't let me tell you that a tooth is worth [-] yuan, so why bother to say that, and your mother and I have to pay for it!" Li Chengwen said while sitting on the saddle by the door, smoking a cigarette.

"You went?" Li Weidong became even more curious. When his father had no money, he would not be lectured by his brothers-in-law. Now that he has money, he can still accept this anger when his waist is stiff.

"Your mother is gone, can I not go, I don't know how much I will pay that little bastard if I don't go to your mother?" Li Chengwen said depressingly.

The nephew is the back of the aunt, this is completely nonsense in their family, but Shen Yueying thinks that the son beat someone, so he has to pay a gift, brother and sister!

Li Weidong looked at Li Weimin, motioned him to continue, and said that he might not get the real words from his father, because there was too much resentment accumulated in history, and too deep prejudices.

"If you want me to say, you shouldn't go, not only don't go, I have to call the police and arrest him, 10 yuan is enough for a sentence!" Li Weimin complained.

"Bullshit, it's easy to say, your mother can agree!" Li Chengwen heard what Li Weimin said, and replied, no matter how hard the family is, they won't see the official.

"Our father and mother went to buy some things, and our second uncle was very angry and didn't look good. It was a hot day, and our father didn't even drink his saliva when he went there!" Li Weimin defended Li Chengwen.

"And the money will not come back, let him eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, where to get it!" Li Weimin said that he was quite angry about this, not because of the money, but because he felt useless.

"What's even more hateful is that the bear's face has swollen, and he still wants to go back to work. Whoever gave his face made me scare him back with an electric baton!"

"If I go now, my second uncle's black face droops, and he puts on an uncle's posture and scolds me. I can't hate him in front of grandma, so I won't go. I miss grandma someday. I will go secretly, and come back secretly!"

Li Weidong nodded to express his understanding. He didn't even want to go now. His going was not the same as Li Weimin's. If his cousin relied on him, he had no good idea.

"Father, why don't I ask the driver to take you two together later?" Li Weidong asked tentatively.

"I'm afraid, why did I give birth to you two? It's obviously a matter of reason, but why did it seem like a mistake?" Li Chengwen was obviously dissatisfied with Li Weidong's attitude.

There is no reason for this thing, his grandma and grandfather are alive, and the relatives can't be cut off. If his second uncle is shameless, they can't help it. They can't make his mother embarrassing, right?

"What are you mumbling about? Hurry up and serve the meal, ready to eat!" At this moment, Shen Yueying yelled in the kitchen, which eased Li Weidong's embarrassment.

Your father scolded you as a coward, can you still scold you back?
Millet porridge, hard-boiled eggs, deep-fried steamed buns, and a few stir-fried dishes. It is quite hearty, and the children like it very much anyway!

After dinner, Li Weidong and his brothers couldn't stand the old lady's eyes, so they had to start the car obediently and set off to his grandma's house, and it seemed inappropriate to let the driver deliver them!
Giving gifts before the year is more important than going back to your mother's house after the year. Without the gift before, there will be no leftovers after the year, and you will not be eligible to eat.

Li Weimin was driving the car, Shen Yueying was sitting in the passenger seat, Li Chengwen and Li Weidong were sitting in the back row, and Zhang Hao was driving a car not far behind.

"When you get to your grandma's house, don't quarrel with your uncle, and don't be as knowledgeable as your cousin, do you hear me?" Shen Yueying ordered on the way.

"Mother, don't worry, as long as they don't provoke trouble, I swear I won't say a word to them!" Li Weimin held the steering wheel with one hand and swore with the other.

"Who told you not to talk to them? They are your uncle or your cousin. How can you not talk!" Shen Yueying slapped Li Weimin's hand and said speechlessly.

"They are all relatives. If you don't talk now, don't tell me you won't be with them after I die?" Shen Yueying continued.

"Bah, bah, what are you talking about during the Chinese New Year!" Li Chengwen muttered from behind.

As the saying goes, when a mother dies, an uncle does not kiss, and when an uncle dies, the threshold is broken. One generation of relatives, second generation, third generation and fourth generation will be defeated. There is nothing wrong with this, but Li Weimin dare not say it!

"Mother, don't worry!" Li Weidong said comfortingly, patting the back of the seat from behind.

If his second uncle was smart, he wouldn't have mentioned this matter. What good would it do to offend him? With his uncle's status, he could handle their brothers as he wanted?

When I arrived at my grandma's house, as soon as I stopped the car, many people came up to meet me, including three uncles and sister-in-law, and several cousins.

Enthusiasm is not enough to describe them. They helped move things down one by one, and their expressions lit up when they saw the gifts one by one.

"Why didn't the child come?" Grandma asked Li Weidong's hand without seeing the child.

"Too skinny, too noisy, so I didn't let them come!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

"There is no such thing as a child who is skinny. You two brothers only skinned when they were young. They are like monkeys. Where can you not go!" Grandma happily mentioned Li Weidong's childhood.

Once the old people often talk about the past, they are afraid that something will go wrong. Their age is about the same as that of Li Weidong's grandparents, but their condition is a bit worse.

"Grandma, how honest I was when I was young, it was Wei Min who touched your swallow's nest, don't rely on me!" Li Weidong knew what his grandma was going to say, so he said with a smile.

"You didn't touch it, you held onto the ladder and let Weimin go up, hurry up and drink tea in the house!" Grandma smiled and pulled the two brothers into the house.

There are many people and strength, and as soon as I go home, I will remove all the things in the car, good wine and cigarettes, and various high-end nutritional supplements.

These were bought by Li Weidong brothers and sisters for their parents, but Shen Yueying gave them to her parents after changing hands.

And these good cigarettes and good wine may end up costing some of his uncles, cousins ​​and cousins!
Except for the embarrassment of the second uncle and his cousin Shen Xuehai, the other two uncles and a few cousins ​​had nothing to say about Li Weidong's attitude, they kept passing cigarettes and pouring tea.

They are not stupid, especially after the second uncle's incident, they understand that offending them is of no benefit at all, and they didn't see Shen Xuehai screaming anxiously at home, without money to come in, how to maintain the previous scene.

The cousins ​​were either working under Li Weimin or in the cement factory. They made a lot of money relying on their relationship, but Shen Xuehai was too greedy and unscrupulous.

When it was time to eat, Li Weidong took the initiative to toast the three uncles, so that there was no ambiguity, especially the youngest third uncle, who drank it all out of face.

When it was the turn of the cousins, before Li Weidong could mention it, they picked up the wine glass first, and took the initiative to ask Li Weidong for a drink, which gave them a lot of face.

Grandpa was very happy watching this scene, smiled and picked up a chicken leg for Li Weidong and said: "Weidong don't just drink, hurry up and eat some food, and suppress the alcohol!"

"Grandpa, I will come by myself, I will come by myself!" Li Weidong hurriedly took the rice bowl and continued.

After drinking for three rounds, Shen Xuehai suddenly picked up the wine glass and stood up, looking at Li Weimin who was sitting across from him, he said: "Old Cousin, let's have a drink. My brother used to be ignorant, so don't be as knowledgeable as me!"

This action made Li Weimin stunned for a moment, he was a bit indifferent just now, the two didn't say a few words, how did they change their sex?
This is to make amends, but Li Weimin is the driver today, and the only thing he has to do with alcohol throughout the meal is to pour the wine, and he didn't drink a drop. Now he wants to drink with him? ?
