When he saw the hot water pouring on his brother-in-law's hand, he jumped up with a scream. Li Baotian was also frightened.
"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay?"
Han Quanquan shook his hand vigorously, stared at Li Baotian angrily and asked,
"What are you doing with your hair? Isn't this what you're doing?..."
Before Han Quanquan finished speaking, Li Huimei hurriedly took over the words and said,
"It fell. He's such a big man, but he still looks like a child, running around.
When I fell down, I pressed my hand directly on the stone, and that’s it.”
Han Quanquan watched his woman squinting her eyes at him and immediately understood what she meant.
His face was cold and stern just now, but now he immediately put on a warm and preachy expression and said,
"You, now that you are old, are going to get married and have a wife. You need to be more steady in the future."
"Yes, I understand, brother-in-law."
Li Baotian lowered his head, his entire face flushed to the base of his ears.
"oops,"
Matchmaker Liu looked at Li Baotian's hand and hurriedly stood up and said,
"Even if Yasuda is married, is he still a child? Isn't it common for people of our age to slip and fall?"
With that said, he walked out of the stool, bypassed Han Quanquan and walked towards Li Baotian.
With the concern of an elder, he first took the teapot from his hand and placed it on the table.
Then he took his two injured hands and took a closer look.
"Look, the skin is stuck and bleeding. Do you have any cloth? Get some wood slag and ash to wrap it up."
"Auntie, I don't need it. It's just a little bit of skin. I'll just nurse it for a while and it'll be fine."
Being held by Matchmaker Liu like this, Li Baotian became more and more embarrassed, and his whole face turned red.
When Li Huimei saw this, she hurriedly came over and pulled Matchmaker Liu to sit down. This was her brother Li Baotian's rescue.
"Auntie, please sit down and have something to eat. I just bought these pastries from the town.
Don’t worry about him, he’s quite a big man, just let him take some time to remember.”
The matter was almost finished. Li Huimei looked at Han Quanquan and her younger brother and said,
"You two, stop standing here. There is a bridge to be built in the village and there are many things to do. You'd better accompany your brother-in-law to do the work."
"oh,"
Li Baotian nodded quickly, looked at Matchmaker Liu and bowed and said,
"Auntie, please talk to my sister, and my brother-in-law and I will go over and take a look."
Just like that, Han Quanquan walked out with Li Baotian.
As soon as he walked out of the gate, Han Quanquan's expression turned bad. He grabbed Li Baotian's hand and pressed it against the fence. He looked around and saw no one.
Then he asked him in a low voice,
"Boy, I searched a lot, but no one in the village said they saw you. Where did you go?"
"Sister and brother-in-law..."
Li Baotian looked at Han Quanquan in a panic, and at the same time, his head was spinning rapidly.
"I, I, I went to take a bath in the river, but my foot slipped and I fell on a stone. That's what happened to my hand. Really, I didn't lie."
"You went to take a shower?"
Han Quanquan pressed him again. Although Li Baotian was full of panic, he still gritted his teeth and nodded, saying,
"Well, I fell in the shower."
"Boy, please listen to me. You are the man who is going to be engaged to Hu Ling'er. I will put away all those messy thoughts from now on.
If you let me know that you are secretly causing trouble for Xing Min behind your back, I will drive you out of Dahe Village without your sister coming.
What kind of porcelain kiln, what kind of wife, everything has nothing to do with you."
"Brother-in-law, I know. I'm not a fool. My brother-in-law and my sister have worked hard to get this marriage together. How dare I make trouble with anything else."
"Boy, if you think clearly, okay, come with me to the back mountain to have a look. There are three fucking masons in total, and one was injured yesterday.
There are two more, but we can't let anything happen again. If something happens again, our bridge won't need to be repaired."
As soon as he heard that he was going to go to the stone, Li Baotian's face immediately turned pale.
"Brother-in-law, I remembered that my carriage is not in use and I need to tidy it up."
Han Quanquan, who had just turned around, heard this and looked at Li Baotian with some suspicion.
"Is there something you are hiding from me?"
"Brother-in-law, the car is really useless, why should I lie to you?"
"Okay, you go and pack it up. You have to use your car to pull some goods for your sister to the town tomorrow."
"Okay, I know brother-in-law, I will definitely fix it so that it won't delay the sales of goods in my sister's shop."
After dinner, Li Baotian still couldn't sit still. His brother-in-law didn't say anything about the accident when he came back from Stone Mountain.
There was no mention of anyone being injured or dead. It seems that the kid escaped?
Li Baotian, who had something on his mind, couldn't sit still. He looked at his nephew Dongzi who was playing with his head down in the yard and walked over.
"Dongzi, uncle will take you out for a run. We've just finished eating and have some fun."
I didn’t want these words to be heard directly by Li Huimei who came out of the house.
"It's almost getting dark, why are you running around with him? Don't run away either, just take a walk in the yard to eat."
"Sister, I'm not going far, I'm just walking around the village. I just finished eating and can't sleep."
Li Huimei glanced at her brother and said coldly,
"Okay, you can leave for a while and see if your brother-in-law has finished his work. When he is done, come back with him and don't run around."
"Oh, I got it, sister."
Li Baotian turned around and was about to walk out when Dongzi shouted from behind.
"Uncle, won't you take me with you?"
"If your mother doesn't let you, just play at home."
"Child, why are you running around in the dark?"
Li Huimei came over and pulled her son over, looked at Li Baotian and said,
"Your uncle is going to find your father. Mom is playing with you at home. Come on, go into the house."
Dongzi watched his uncle leave alone with great grievance, thinking in his heart, when will he grow up?
Will I be able to do whatever I want like my father, uncle, and other adults?
As soon as Li Baotian left home, he went straight to the alley where the stonemason lived.
He seemed to be strolling around like he had nothing to do, but in fact his eyes were not idle.
Finally he saw a person walking over, and when this person saw him, Li Baotian hurriedly came up to him and greeted Li Baotian very flatteringly.
"have already eaten?"
"Well, I've eaten. Why don't you come out to eat when you have nothing to do?"
The person who came over with a fawning expression was none other than the person Li Baotian asked to spread rumors last time, the lazy guy in the village - Niu Xidong.
"Yes, wandering around,"
Li Baotian looked leisurely, but he was thinking about other things.
"I heard that one of the three stonemasons you were looking for in the village was injured yesterday?"
"Oh, my leg was injured, but luckily it wasn't broken. I heard it will take a few days to recover."
When Li Baotian asked about this, this lazy guy came up and said, having nothing to say,
"These masons heard that your brother-in-law paid a lot of money, but they didn't expect the masons to make so much money?
If I had known earlier, I would have learned this craft."
Li Baotian smiled contemptuously in his heart, but he still said,
"That's right. This can be considered a craft. Unfortunately, it's too dangerous. If you don't do it, you may lose your life."
