When Yan Jiecheng heard this, he immediately became furious. He jumped up and said, "Dad, why don't you believe me? Zhang Li really likes me. She is different from those girls. I tell you, it won't take long. I
I’ll take her home for you to see, and then you’ll know I didn’t lie.”
The third uncle snorted coldly: "Humph, I hope so. I'll tell you the ugly words first. If you are cheated, don't come back and cry. The society is complicated now. Don't just look at other girls' beauty.
, you have to see what people want from you."
Yan Jiecheng frowned, his face full of dissatisfaction: "I know, you don't need to worry. Zhang Li and I really love each other, and she is after me." After saying that, he turned around angrily and went back to his room, "Bang
"The door closed with a sound, leaving the third uncle and the third aunt looking at each other. The third uncle shook his head helplessly.
The third aunt gently patted the third uncle's arm and said softly: "Old man, don't be too stubborn. Maybe we are really lucky enough to meet a good girl. Look at how serious he is.
Looks like this, maybe this time he is really moved. As parents, we should encourage him more at this time. If we keep hitting him, the child will feel very uncomfortable."
The third uncle frowned and said with some hesitation: "I don't want to attack him, but I'm just afraid that he will be cheated. He is old and has had so many girlfriends without success. If something happens again, then
Trouble."
The third aunt said with a smile: "I know you are doing it for his own good, but when the child is older, he has his own ideas. Please stop pouring cold water on him and say more nice things to him."
The third uncle sighed: "Well, I hope so. If this is true, it would be a blessing. I'm afraid he is just wishful thinking, and his happiness will be in vain in the end."
The third aunt nodded and said: "Let's take a look first. If there is a chance, we can also ask Jie Cheng to bring the girl home, and we will help him check it." After listening to the third aunt's words, the third uncle nodded slightly.
…
The next day, it was just dawn, and the sun shone through the thin clouds in the courtyard of the courtyard. Yan Jiecheng got up sleepily, yawned and opened the door, and saw the third uncle sorting out a pile of waste at the door. Those wastes
There are all kinds of things, including old newspapers, glass bottles, scrap metal and so on.
Yan Jiecheng scratched his head, walked over and asked, "Dad, what are you doing cleaning up these scraps so early in the morning?"
The third uncle didn't even raise his head. He continued to sort it out and replied: "I sold these scraps so that I could pay back the money I borrowed from Li Weidong yesterday. We can't owe others anything. We must have credit as a human being."
When Yan Jiecheng heard this, he curled his lips disapprovingly: "Dad, I told you that you don't need to pay it back. Li Weidong is so rich, he doesn't care about the fifteen yuan at all. Do you know what his status is now? He is the director of the laboratory,
He is also the director of a motorcycle workshop, so the money is like drizzle to him."
The third uncle stopped what he was doing, raised his head suddenly, looked at Yan Jiecheng with wide eyes, and scolded: "What are you talking about? What's wrong with having money? If you have money, you can't pay back the money? People's money
It's not caused by strong winds. Although we are poor, we can't be spineless and take advantage of this. Why don't you understand any sense, kid? If we are all like you, who will be willing to help us in the future?"
Just kidding, the person the third uncle looked down upon the most in the courtyard was Jia Zhang. The main reason was that Jia Zhang liked to take advantage.
Yan Jiecheng was so frightened by the third uncle's rebuke that he shrank his neck, but he was still a little unconvinced: "Dad, I'm just saying, don't be so angry. I just think he is so rich that he won't care about this.
For a small amount of money.”
The third uncle was so angry that he came over and poked Yan Jiecheng's shoulder hard with his finger: "Listen to me, no matter whether others have money or not, we can't think like this. This is the fundamental of being a human being. If you don't even think about it,
If you don’t understand this at all, you won’t be able to live an upright life in this world.”
Yan Jiecheng was thinking about Zhang Li, so he didn't argue with the third uncle anymore. He responded perfunctorily and hurried out. He wanted to see Zhang Li as soon as possible, as if as long as he was with her, all the bad things happened yesterday would be gone.
All can be forgotten.
The third uncle looked at Yan Jiecheng's leaving figure, shook his head helplessly, and then continued to collect the waste. He bundled the waste carefully, pushed it on a dilapidated trolley, and walked to the waste collection station.
When he arrived at the scrap collection station, the third uncle finally sold all the scraps after bargaining with the people at the scrap collection station. He clutched the money he got from selling the scraps tightly, and when he got home, he rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find out what was left at home.
With some savings, I collected fifteen yuan.
The third uncle came to Li Weidong's house with the fifteen yuan. He knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened. It was Li Weidong's daughter-in-law Yu Li. Yu Li was a little surprised to see the third uncle and asked with a smile.
Said: "Third uncle, why are you here? Come in and sit down."
The third uncle stood at the door awkwardly and waved his hand: "No, no, Yu Li, Wei Dong is not at home, right? I just came to pay him back the money he borrowed yesterday. This money must be paid back, we can't owe it.
Hold on." As he said that, he handed the fifteen yuan he was holding tightly to Yu Li.
Yu Li looked at the money handed over by the third uncle with confusion on her face, her eyes full of confusion: "Third uncle, what's going on? I don't even know that Wei Dong lent you money."
The third uncle quickly explained: "Yesterday, Jie Cheng got into some trouble outside and was escorted back by the hotel's security officer. He had to pay fifteen yuan. I didn't have that much money at the time, but Weidong kindly lent it to me.
, this solves the urgent need."
After hearing this, Yu Li smiled slightly: "So that's it. Third uncle, don't be too anxious to pay back the money. We are all neighbors, so we should help each other, and we are not short of this money now. If you
If you have difficulty, you can take it easy first.”
But the third uncle shook his head resolutely: "That's not possible, Yu Li. We have to be trustworthy, and one code equals one code. I have to pay back the money. Weidong has helped us so much, I can't delay it.
If you don't return it, it will be difficult for him to do it."
Seeing that the third uncle was so resolute, Yu Li respected the old man a little more in her heart: "Third uncle, you are really a real person. Well, since you insist, I will accept it. Don't tire yourself too much.
, if you have any difficulties, just tell us." With that, Yu Li took the money handed over by the third uncle.
…
Just when the third uncle returned the money to Yu Li, on the other side, Yan Jiecheng rushed to Chaoyang Park in a hurry.
Chaoyang Park was very lively at this time. Street gangsters gathered in small groups, some were playing cards, smoking and chatting, and some were competing in some tricks. Yan Jiecheng was eagerly looking for Zhang Li's face in the bustling crowd.
The figure and eyes showed anxiety and expectation.
Finally, he saw Zhang Li in a corner of the park. But what made him furious was that Zhang Li was having a lively chat with a young gangster. The two were talking and laughing, and they seemed to have a very close relationship. Yan Jiecheng only felt a
Hot blood surged into his heart, and jealousy and anger instantly occupied his entire brain.
"What are you doing?" Yan Jiecheng roared and rushed over like a mad bull. He pushed the bastard away. The bastard did not expect that someone would suddenly rush over. He staggered and almost fell.
Everyone was shocked by this sudden scene and gathered around one after another. The originally noisy atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Zhang Li was also startled. When she saw it was Yan Jiecheng, she frowned: "Yan Jiecheng, what are you doing? You are crazy!"
Yan Jiecheng's eyes were red, he stared at Zhang Li like an angry lion, and said loudly: "Zhang Li, you are my partner, how can you talk, laugh and flirt with him here? You make me embarrassed like this.
Where to put it?”
Zhang Li smiled contemptuously, and the smile was full of disdain. She shook her hair and said slowly: "Yan Jiecheng, are you confused? When did I become your target? Don't be sentimental. I'm just
After having a meal with you, you think I am yours? You are too naive."
The gangsters around started to boo, some whistled, and some laughed at Yan Jiecheng. Yan Jiecheng's face turned red. He couldn't believe Zhang Li would say such a thing: "Zhang Li, what did you say? We said it clearly before.
Okay, how can you turn your back on me?"
After Zhang Li rolled her eyes at Yan Jiecheng, she twisted her slender waist and walked aside, humming an unknown tune in her mouth, as if all this had nothing to do with her and was just an interesting farce.
When the little bastard saw that he had lost face in front of everyone, his face turned red and his eyes were as wide as bells. He rushed towards Yan Jiecheng and pushed him hard, pushing the unsuspecting Yan Jiecheng forward.
He staggered a few steps back.
"Are you tired of living? How dare you push me!" the little bastard said viciously, "I can tell you, I am following Mr. Ma. If you dare to touch me, you will be in trouble with Mr. Ma!"
Yan Jiecheng steadied himself, with a confused and angry look on his face: "Master Ma? What Master Ma? I don't care who you hang out with, stay away from Zhang Li!"
The little bastard seemed to have heard a big joke and laughed wildly: "Haha, you are a country bumpkin. You don't even know about Master Ma, and you still dare to act wild here. Today I will let you know the consequences of offending me."
Yan Jiecheng was also irritated. He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care whether you are Ma Ye or Ma Ye. Zhang Li is mine and no one can take it away!"
The two didn't agree on what they were talking about, and they started fighting each other instantly. The gangster took the lead and threw a punch towards Yan Jiecheng's face. Yan Jiecheng reacted quickly, tilted his head, dodged the punch, and flew a kick at the same time.
Kicked to the bastard's abdomen. The bastard felt pain and let out an "ouch", but he was not to be outdone. He grabbed Yan Jiecheng's foot and twisted it hard. Yan Jiecheng lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The little bastard took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, riding on Yan Jiecheng's body. His fists like raindrops hit Yan Jiecheng's face and upper body. Yan Jiecheng protected his head with both hands, found the right opportunity, used hard force, turned over and pressed the little bastard on the ground.
He then pushed his knee hard against the bastard's chest. The bastard had difficulty breathing and grabbed his hands, trying to get rid of Yan Jiecheng's oppression.
People around were booing, some shouting, "Come on," and some laughing at the two people's embarrassment. Zhang Li watched with interest, with a playful smile on her lips, as if this was a game specially prepared for her.
's performance.
More and more people gathered around them, like sharks attracted by the smell of blood, surrounding the two people. Their shouts and laughter intertwined and echoed in the sky above Chaoyang Park.
"Come on! Hit him hard!"
Look at those two guys, they look like crazy dogs, haha!"
Finally, Yan Jiecheng found the right opportunity. He used all his strength and punched the little gangster on the chin. The punch was so powerful and heavy that the little gangster was hit so hard that stars flew out of his eyes. He flew backwards and fell heavily on the ground.
On the ground. He struggled a few times and tried to stand up, but his body no longer obeyed.
Yan Jiecheng gasped and stood up unsteadily. His face was covered with sweat and blood, but his eyes were filled with victory. Seeing this, the gangster knew that he would not get any benefits today, so he fiercely
He glared at Yan Jiecheng, turned around and staggered away.
"Wait for me, kid! You've offended Mr. Ma, and you'll look good on me!" The gangster shouted as he ran, his voice full of reluctance and threat.
Zhang Li clapped her hands gently, and the applause seemed particularly clear in this noisy environment. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, with a hint of approval in her eyes: "Yan Jiecheng, I didn't expect you to be quite capable of fighting. I won, not bad.
It seems that I have to re-examine you, and I am willing to give you a chance."
Yan Jiecheng was originally frowning because of the fatigue and pain after the battle. When he heard Zhang Li's words, his eyes suddenly lit up and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Really? What opportunity?" He couldn't wait to ask,
Completely ignoring the pain in my body.
Zhang Li wrinkled her nose, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. She looked at the dust and scars covering Yan Jiecheng's body with disgust: "Look at you, you are in such a mess now, you are dirty and smelly. You go home first."
Change your clothes and clean yourself up. There is a party tonight at the tavern we often go to. If you want to come, dress up nicely."
Yan Jiecheng nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I will definitely go! Don't worry, I will definitely dress handsomely tonight."
Yan Jiecheng ran all the way, full of excitement
When he rushed into the yard, the third uncle was coming back from Li Weidong's house. When the third uncle raised his eyes, he saw Yan Jiecheng in ragged clothes and covered with scars. His eyes suddenly widened with worry on his face: "Jiecheng, you
What's going on? How did it get like this?"
Yan Jiecheng was stunned for a moment, and then he showed a somewhat forced smile and said with evasive eyes: "Dad, it's okay, I was just having fun with my friends, I accidentally messed up, it's okay."
The third uncle frowned, with a look of suspicion on his face: "Nonsense? Do you think I'm a fool? Look at your injuries, they look like they were caused by joking? Did you fight with someone outside again?
?”
Yan Jiecheng scratched his head guiltily: "Dad, it was just a joke, there was no fight. We just went a little too far, don't worry."
