Chapter 20: One Thing Conquers Another

After the two chatted for a while.

Li Yaoguo had never felt so relaxed as he did now, and the fourth brother seemed to have really changed after he stopped selling goods.

And he was holding back something today and wanted to ask Li Duoyu very much.

"Duoyu, was your report arranged by your uncle?" Li Yaoguo couldn't help asking.

Li Duoyu glanced at his second brother, and sure enough, he also cared about it. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Well, it was my uncle who helped."

"That's right."

While they were talking, the second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua had been hiding at the door with her ears erect and eavesdropping.

After learning that Li Duoyu's report was arranged by his uncle, she jumped out immediately.

"That's right. I told the people in the village in the afternoon that Duoyu didn't even go to high school, so how could he say these nice words? They didn't believe me."

Seeing Zhu Xiuhua jump out, the two brothers looked very ugly, but they seemed to be used to it.

"If I had known you were going to look for my uncle, I should have let your second brother go. Maybe he could show his face in front of the leaders and be transferred to the town."

"Now the people in the town are all rich. I heard that the mayor's family has built a villa. I also heard that the guy called Shui Ge is very rich and has bought many imported cars."

Li Duoyu, who has lived two lives, saw that his second sister-in-law found a balance in her heart and was too lazy to argue with her.

Zhou Xiaoying, who was cooking in the kitchen, was unhappy when she heard Zhu Xiuhua making innuendos again.

Li Duoyu didn't care about her recently.

But it doesn't mean that she, Zhou Xiaoying, allows others to say that about her husband. What is meant by not even going to high school? How can he say those nice words!

Looking at the imported cloth and folding umbrella that Li Duoyu just bought for her, Zhou Xiaoying's face also had a fierceness.

He took the cloth and folding umbrella and went to the yard, and said in surprise:

"Duoyu, when did you buy these cloths for me? How come I didn't know? How many meters are there? They can make one or two sets of clothes.

I told you not to buy them for me, why did you buy them secretly?

Also, this imported folding umbrella is really beautiful. It is so small when folded up, and it fits the cloth bag just right."

Looking at Zhou Xiaoying with a smile on her face, Li Duoyu instantly understood what was going on. She was indeed the woman who was most unlucky for the second sister-in-law in the family.

It's true that one thing can defeat another.

Every move was fatal, and they all hit the dead spot.

Zhu Xiuhua's face was as black as a pig's liver, and Li Yaoguo saw that the fire had started, lowered his head and prepared to run away. Even the fat boy who was mopping the floor in the house noticed the danger, took his homework book and left the house, and ran to the next door.

"Grandma, I'll sleep with you tonight."

"Okay, dear grandson."

The storm had been brewing for a while, and finally it exploded. Li Yaoguo was in trouble again, and he had to listen to the sutra all night.

At the same time, it also affected Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying who were separated by a wall, but the two people on the bed were very happy.

Zhou Xiaoying looked at Li Duoyu sideways.

"How do you know? I like this kind of plain fabric."

"Don't you always wear plain clothes?"

Zhou Xiaoying's eyes were like water, and she suddenly said: "Is it possible that I also like meat?"

After hearing this, Li Duoyu couldn't bear it anymore.

"Ah, what are you doing?" Zhou Xiaoying screamed.

"Uncle, I'll let you eat some meat tonight."

"No."

The two of them played on the bed for a while before stopping. Zhou Xiaoying, with a red face, suddenly said:

"I want to tell you something. You should know my colleague, Lin Shanshan."

Li Duoyu nodded:

"When she was a child, she often played with us."

Zhou Xiaoying sighed:

"She is quite pitiful recently. Her husband doesn't go out to make money and often beats her. When she came to class today, there was a very obvious slap mark on her face. We don't know what to do."

If Zhou Xiaoying didn't say it, Li Duoyu would have almost forgotten Lin Shanshan, a woman who is very famous in Dandan Island.

It seems that during the time when he went to the island country, Lin Shanshan's husband became more and more violent, beating more frequently, and cheating on a widow in the next village, shouting that he wanted a divorce and wanted to live with the mistress.

And Lin Shanshan, who had been oppressed for many years, finally resisted. She refused to agree to a divorce and wanted to sue her husband for bigamy.

As a result, the lawsuit lasted for twenty years.

During this period, the court was held countless times.

She forced herself to become the most knowledgeable person in the village. Later, she went to the university to audit, and finally passed the lawyer's license exam and became the only lawyer in the village.

The mistress from the next door village who interfered with their marriage was also dragged down by Lin Shanshan, and finally gave up her husband and ran away with someone else.

Many people in the village said it was not worth it.

If she had just divorced her husband at the beginning, she would not have to suffer for these twenty years, but Lin Shanshan just couldn't swallow this breath.

Some people also said that her life was very "hard".

This is the local dialect here, which roughly means that her life is not very good, but she is very strong and finally survived.

In the end, Lin Shanshan took her children to live in Rongcheng, worked in a law firm, and lived a good life.

And her husband finally lost both his life and money, and lived alone in an old stone house. When he was sick, his children were unwilling to see him.

"Maybe she is unlucky." Li Duoyu replied. At this moment, his mind was not here at all, thinking about other things.

Their stone house has only one floor, with a living room, a bedroom and a kitchen.

If a child is born in the future, the room will be too small. I can't sleep in the same room like my second brother and the others when the child is so big.

What happiness is there then?

Li Duoyu thought that if he could make money from raising kelp, he would build a two-story house.

the next day.

When Li Duoyu woke up, it was already past eight o'clock in the morning, but Zhou Xiaoying was still at home without going to school.

"Why didn't you go to class today?"

"It's Sunday."

"oh."

Since returning to 1983, Li Duoyu has been so eager to do things and make up for the regrets of the past that he has forgotten the day of the week.

After breakfast.

Li Duoyu, who had nothing to do for the time being, looked at Zhou Xiaoying and said:

"Both of us are fine today, why don't we go get some seafood to eat."

"Mom, you won't let me go."

"You can just watch from the shore. Besides, if you have a big belly, you should go out for more walks. This will be good for you and the child."

"Then when my mother-in-law finds out and talks about me, you have to help me block her."

"OK, no problem."

When the little fat man with sharp ears heard that his uncle was going to catch seafood, he grinned with leaking teeth and said, "Uncle, can you take me with you too? I can carry a bucket for you."

"Is your mother here?"

"I'm not here. I went to help others mend fishing nets."

"Okay, you have to follow me. You can't run around, you know."

"knew."

Since Lao Li and the others were on the tidal flat, Li Duoyu didn't want to be gossiped about, so he planned to go to the side with more rocks to catch some sea urchins, snails and crabs.

Li Duoyu held a pair of fire tongs, and Xiao Pangdun helped carry the iron bucket, and the three of them headed towards the seaside.

On the path to the beach, Little Fatty was so happy that he started humming a song.

Back in 1983, Li Duoyu was so busy these days that he never took a good look at Dandan Island at this time.

Now when I take a closer look, I find that the overall layout of Xiasha Village has not changed much. There are still so many houses near the pier.

The largest buildings in the village are the supply and marketing cooperative and the stage, especially the stage, which was built by the commune in the 1960s. It is more than 400 square meters, three stories high, and has more than 300 seats.

You can invite a theater troupe to sing in it.

It can also play movies.

It is a dating mecca for the generation that eats from a big pot.

The road underfoot is almost all dirt, but mostly mixed with fine sand from the seaside. You have to be very careful when riding on it. If you ride too fast and the tires slip, you may end up falling and chewing the mud.

At this time, the sanitary conditions were very poor. There were flies everywhere, dead fish were thrown directly into the ditch, and oyster shells were piled up in disorder. The area near the pier, in particular, was a fly-infested area.

After walking along the beach for more than ten minutes,

Li Duoyu and the others finally arrived at Badshui Bay, the most suitable place for catching the sea on Dandan Island.
