Zhonghai City, Jilong Hutong-

The name of this alley is very special. The reason why it is called "Jilong Hutong" is because this alley looks like a big chicken cage from a distance.

Li Yuan's family lives here.

It was still raining in the sky.

Li Yuan was back with a "Nanjing duck", a big pot of vegetables made of braised water, and a bottle of white wine.

The house is in chaos.

But it was the two children who were having fun.

His wife Li Suzhen is boiling medicine on honeycomb coal, and the smell of Chinese herbal medicine can be smelled far away.

The sick old mother lay on the bed and coughed from time to time.

When Li Suzhen, who was cooking medicine, saw her husband Li Yuan coming back, she loudly asked him why he came back so late and had he found a job.

It turns out that Li Suzhen also knew the news that her husband Li Yuan had closed down, especially in the past few days, her husband Li Yuan always sighed in the bed, got up in the middle of the night and smoked. Li Suzhen saw all these things and remembered them in her heart.

She has a bad health and cannot go out to work like an ordinary woman. She has two children to support her at home and an elderly person to take care of her. For Li Suzhen, this situation is terrible, but what's worse is that her husband has no job now.

what to do?

Could it be that the family starved to death?

Li Suzhen knew that her husband was under great pressure, so she didn't say anything, but she felt very anxious.

But now, seeing her husband coming back with a duck in his hand and white wine, Li Suzhen's anger didn't hit her, so she changed her face and asked her husband in such a tone.

Li Yuan didn't say anything, and went straight into the house, put down the roast goose and the big pot of vegetables in his hand, and then shouted to the two children who were having fun: "I've eaten duck, stop making trouble!"

The two children are in the development stage and are very greedy. When they hear that there are ducks to eat, they have not been caught in meat for several months, and they immediately stopped chasing them. They ran over and reached out to catch ducks.

Li Yuan reached out and opened his two dirty hands and said, "Get the chopsticks!"

The two children were just laughing and going to get chopsticks.

Li Yuan said to the old lady lying on the bed: "Mom, are you hungry? I also bought your favorite big pot of vegetables, which contain refreshing duck blood. I'll feed you later."

The children brought the dishes and chopsticks and ate the duck.

Li Yuan also took the chopsticks and picked up some boiled duck blood from the big pot of dishes, put it in half a bowl, and took it to feed me to my mother.

At this time, his wife Li Suzhen also boiled the Chinese medicine and poured it out and put it on the coffee table to cool down.

Li Yuan opened the liquor and greeted her, "Come here and eat."

Li Suzhen glared at him, "Whatever you eat, the family is almost out of business, you still have the heart to drink."

Without saying a word, Li Yuan took out more than 10,000 yuan wrapped in newspaper from his arms, and slapped it on the table with a "slap", "Look at what this is?"

Li Suzhen grabbed the paper bag with a tiger's face, opened it and saw it, and was frightened, "Where did you get so much money?"

Seeing that his wife was shocked by his move, Li Yuan felt very satisfied. It took him so long to speak to his wife with confidence.

He missed his wife who was just married and who was obedient to him and would not nag casually. Unfortunately, such years have passed forever.

"I earned it." Li Yuan said.

"What you earned? How did you earn it?" Li Suzhen knew her husband Li Yuan's ability very well. She didn't believe that her husband could make so much money at once.

Li Yuan poured himself a glass of white wine, drank it dry, wiped the back of his hand and said, "Of course it was earned by my own ability."

Li Suli had no time to pay attention to him, and started counting the money and quickly counting the money.

No matter what kind of woman he is, he seems to have amazing talents in counting money. So much money, Li Yuan counted for half a day, and Li Suzhen only counted for a few seconds.

"There are 15,000 in total. Where did you get so much money?" Li Suzhen didn't believe her husband's nonsense.

"Didn't I tell you that I earn it myself." Li Yuan stood up and changed the subject, "I'll go and see if my mother has finished eating."

"Don't leave, come back for me! Let's talk about it clearly!" Li Suzhen pulled Li Yuan and refused to let him leave.

Li Yuan wanted to shake off his wife's hand, but he didn't, and almost overturned the table.

When the two children who were gnawing ducks saw the adults fighting, they stopped eating. They were greasy and held the ducks, stared at them with wide eyes.

"Look at you, you scared the child." Li Yuan said, "Be good, eat quickly, your mother and I are having fun."

Li Suzhen pulled Li Yuan outside.

Going outside—

"If you are afraid of scaring the child, please tell me clearly! How did this money come about!"

Facing the questioning of his wife, Li Yuan sighed, took out a cigarette, and told the matter in detail while smoking.

"What? You actually helped someone do such a thing!" Li Suzhen's face changed so scared. "That Fat Three was not a good thing before. He must have done this to harm you."

"I know, but this can make money." Li Yuan said.

"Making money or not is a trivial matter, but if your hands are disabled, how can I live the rest of my life!" said Li Suzhen.

"Isn't this more than 10,000?"

"Ten thousand is a big deal!" Li Suzhen said angrily, "Your hands are important, or more than ten thousand are important? We can earn money again without money, but if your hands are useless, that will be a lifelong thing!"

Li Yuan sniffed a cigarette and looked at the dripping raindrops on the eaves, "For me, you are the most important thing - now I have no job and can't do anything. I can't let the children be hungry, let alone make you work hard... With this money, we can do some small business in the future. Don't you want to sell clothes? We will set up a small stall and hang some clothes in a nearby market to sell. In that way, we will no longer have to worry about our future life..."

Li Suzhen cried, tears couldn't help but shed, and beat Li Yuan with her hands and said, "Why are you so stupid! So stupid!"

Li Yuan smiled bitterly, held the cigarette butt under the eaves, letting the raindrops soaked, and said, "I have no choice!"

Li Suzhen cried even harder and buried her head in Li Yuan's arms.

She knew that her family was short of money now, but she was really reluctant to let her husband do such a thing.

"Stop crying! Since I have decided, this matter cannot be changed. What should I do, let's accept our fate!"

Do you accept your fate?

Li Suzhen was a little unwilling to accept it. She didn’t steal or rob her, and she was a man of duty, so why did she suffer such hardships?

Just as the couple hugged their heads and cried bitterly, someone knocked on the door.

A voice said, "Is anyone?"

Li Yuan couldn't help but be stunned. Who would come at this time?
