Chapter 151
151 Chapter 150, Ji Jianguo Ran Away
After doing all this, the children’s whereabouts after school at night became a problem again. She was not at ease leaving the children alone at home.
Especially after the incident with Ji Jianguo.
After thinking about it, again and again, she thickened her skin and gave Qin Junshan a call.
“Uncle Qin, I have something to do tomorrow evening and can’t come back. Can I ask the three children to stay at your place for one or two hours? Is it convenient for you?”
She was at ease with Qin Junshan. In addition, Yuanyuan and the others often went there. Uncle Qin was never annoyed and always urged the children to go over. He seemed to be a person who liked children.
When Qin Junshan heard that he answered straightforwardly, “Then what’s the problem? Tomorrow afternoon, I’ll ask Xiao Gong to pick them up at the school gate. You can rest assured! If you have something to do, it’s fine if you don’t come back. Just let them stay at my place. There are many rooms and I’m willing to stay with the children!”
He laughed loudly as if he had picked up a bargain.
Li Xu heaved a sigh of relief, “Then thank you very much, I won’t be in a hurry to come back tonight!”
After everything was settled, Li Xu was finally relieved.
The next day, at around one o’clock in the afternoon, the van arrived. The children had already gone to school, and the shop was now deserted. Li Xu took the car and followed the driver to the countryside.
The driver was a friend of Liang Huimei’s husband, and he was very straightforward and generous.
When they reached the ground, Li Xu found that Li Zhiming and the other three had already picked a lot. One by one, they piled up high.
The eggplants were all shiny, and it was tempting to look at them.
A few people around were watching the show. After all, the Li family was the first in the village to grow a vegetable greenhouse. They also wanted to know whether this thing made money or not.
While Liu Zhiming and Liu Guihua were working, they would occasionally say a few words to the neighbors.
Looking at the eggplant, Li Zhiming was happy. Every time someone came to watch the show, he would give them two eggplants and let them take them home to have a taste!
It was still early. The driver was sitting on the ground, helping the Li family watch the things.
Li Xu went into the eggplant field and picked the eggplants with her two younger brothers.
“Sister, we have money and experience. Let’s rent out the neighbor’s land and turn it into a grenhouse. If we can’t grow it, we’ll hire people to do it,” Li Yong suggested.
Li Xu smiled, “I really didn’t expect you to have the potential to be a boss!”
Li Yong chuckled, “Of course, who doesn’t want to be a boss?”
“We’ll talk about the future when we have money. Now, you should work with your parents!” Li Xu said.
Li Yong pursed his lips. He felt that he had the energy to work.
“By the way, Sister, there’s something…” Li Yong suddenly hesitated. He didn’t know if he should tell Li Xu.
Li Xu was a little surprised, “If you have something to say, just say it, why are you stopping in the middle?”
“It’s Ji Jianguo! He was released after being locked up in the police station for two days,” Li Yong said in a low voice.
Speaking of Ji Jianguo, Li Xu’s expression turned cold, “Oh, that’s expected.”
“He ran away on the third day after he was released!” Li Yong continued.
“Ran away? What do you mean?” Li Xu was surprised.
“Maybe the people from the bank went to look for him and scared him into hiding. Now even his big brother doesn’t know where he went. The people from the bank have sealed his house.” Li Yong shook his head, “My friend’s father-in-law who is also from Ji family’s village, I heard it from him.”
Li Xu sneered, “It’s best if he never comes back!”
Li Lei continued, “It’s very difficult for him to return 100,000 Yuan. He probably won’t be able to come back for the next few years. If he comes back and is found by the people from the bank, he will have to go to jail. So even if he comes back, he will have to stay in jail for a few years.”
As he spoke, Li Lei became happy.
At the very least, within five years, his sister would no longer have to be on tenterhooks.
Five years later, the children would have grown up. At that time, they would be able to protect their mother.
As he was happy, he picked the eggplants faster.
Not only were the eggplants big, but their production was also high. The Li family specialized in picking the big ones. They managed to pick one-third of them. There were still two-thirds left in the field, which were slightly smaller.
Even so, they still filled the truck to the brim.
The driver said in surprise, “Wow, this is about 4,000 to 5,000 catties, right?”
As he loaded the truck, Li Yong kept a tally at the side.
He did some calculations and calculated the total amount, “A total of 4,571 catties!”
With this calculation, the yield of one Mu of land was close to 7,000 catties.
Hearing this amount, even though the Li family had long been mentally prepared, they were so shocked that they could not speak.
After loading the car, the driver drove Li Xu back to the city.
Ji Yuanyuan and the others were in the Qin family, so she was at ease.
With a few thousand catties of eggplant, it would probably take Li Xu a long time to unload it by herself. However, Li Xu had already agreed with the driver to add another ten Yuan to help unload the goods.
The two of them worked together and soon finished unloading the goods.
Li Xu wiped the sweat off her forehead and handed the driver a bottle of water, “Thank you so much for today!”
The driver was also very forthright, “You’re welcome, contact me if you have any work in the future. If it’s convenient for me, I’ll come over, if it’s not convenient, I can find someone else for you.”
Li Xu nodded with a grateful expression, “Okay, thank you so much.”
After the driver left, Li Xu called Qin Junshan.
In less than half an hour, XIao Gong brought Ji Yuanyuan and the others back.
When they came back, the three children were all sweating profusely.
Xiao Gong quickly said, “Big Sister, quickly take the children back to take a bath. It’s cold now, don’t ignore it!”
Although Li Xu felt a little strange, she still agreed, “Alright, I’ll go back now. Thank you for your hard work.”
Xiao Gong shook his head and smiled at the three children before leaving.
After Xiao Gong left, Li Xu quickly brought the three children home.
When they reached home, she instructed Ji Zi’ang and Ji Zixuan, “The two of you, quickly go and take a bath. Don’t play with the water. Yuanyuan and I still have to wash after you’re done.”
Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang agreed and happily took a towel and clothes into the bathroom.
In the living room, Li Xu took off Ji Yuanyuan’s clothes and used a towel to wipe the sweat off her body before wrapping her in a towel, “What are you playing? Why are you sweating so much?”
Her daughter had always been like a little adult and did not seem to be interested in children’s games.
Why was she sweating so much today for the first time? She looked especially happy.
Ji Yuanyuan giggled, “I told Grandpa Qin to let Uncle Gong teach us self-defense techniques!”
“And then? Uncle Gong taught you?” Li Xu asked.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded, “Grandpa Qin said Uncle Gong is amazing. He used to be a special forces soldier!”
It was the first time Li Xu knew the identity of this Xiao Gong, so she was a little surprised.
However, it made sense, could the people around Qin Junshan be ordinary people?
“Why do you want to learn this all of a sudden? You’re a girl, why do you want to learn this? You won’t be a soldier in the future!” Li Xu said casually.
However, Ji Yuanyuan became serious, “It’s because I’m a girl, I need to learn more, so I can protect myself in the future!”
