202. Chapter 202 From today on, the family name is Li
"What...what else do you want to do?"
At this moment, Mi Tong had been kicked out of his psychological shadow. When he saw Li Mengnan walking towards him again, he kept crying and shrinking back. Unfortunately, his arm was still dislocated and he couldn't hold his head at all.
Li Mengnan ignored him, grabbed his wrist, shook it and pushed it. Hearing only a slight click, he reattached Mitong's shoulder joint to its original position.
However, Li Mengnan naturally would not let this scumbag who abandoned his wife and children feel comfortable. The method he used was extremely barbaric. Although it would not leave any sequelae, it was inevitable that he would be in pain for ten days and a half.
"Brother Gou, do you have paper and pen?" Li Mengnan turned to Gou Buli and asked.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
After all, Gou Buli is a professional who needs debts. How could he have such necessities as paper and pens? After hearing this, he quickly called his subordinates to send them to Li Mengnan.
Li Mengnan walked back to his mother Xiao Hui and explained the situation in a low voice to her. He took the land certificate and real estate certificate from his mother, came to Mi Tong, threw the pen and paper in front of him, and said coldly: "You can give me the things."
You, but you have to write a guarantee.”
"Write... what to write?" Mitong suddenly became nervous.
"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to divide the property." Looking at his expression, Li Mengnan knew what he was nervous about, and his expression became even more contemptuous, "I want you to guarantee that all the debts you owed in the past will be borne solely by you, and from now on
Starting from now, my mother and you will officially dissolve our marriage and we will have nothing to do with you from now on."
"Your mother?" Mi Tong seemed a little confused. After a moment, he suddenly looked shocked: "You...are you the child that Xiaohui lost when she was young?"
Xiao Hui had not concealed the fact that her last marriage ended in failure, so Mi Tong also knew that Xiao Hui had a child, but he never thought that one day he would appear in front of him.
"Write this letter of guarantee and the Xiao family will have nothing to do with you anymore. Does it matter to you who I am?" Li Mengnan said coldly.
If it were anyone else, Li Mengnan would have had ten thousand ways to make his life worse than death. But no matter what, this Mi Tong had a fairly happy marriage with his mother Xiao Hui and took care of Xiao Hui for a period of time.
, and he is the biological father of Xiao Baoer and Minnie. No matter how angry he is, he has to consider the feelings of the Xiao family, mother and daughter.
"Okay, I'll write, I'll write now."
Hearing that Li Mengnan agreed to hand over the real estate certificate and land certificate, Mitong suddenly beamed with joy, picked up the pen and paper in front of him without hesitation, lay down on the ground with his butt sticking out, and started writing quickly.
"Dad! You...how could you do this!"
Minnie, who was not far away, learned the ins and outs of the whole thing from Xiao Baoer. At this moment, she could hear the conversation between the two clearly. She thought that her father would struggle a little when he heard that they were going to divorce, but she didn't expect that the other party seemed to have already thought about it.
Without this home, I signed the guarantee letter without thinking.
Minnie was heartbroken at the moment, shedding tears and was about to step forward to question her, but Xiao Baoer grabbed her arm beside her.
"Sister, he is no longer our father... If you go there now, you will no longer be my sister."
Looking at Xiao Baoer's cold eyes, Minnie knew that this little girl could definitely do what she said.
She didn't know what to do. She had imagined again and again that the day her father Mitong came back, the family would return to the happiest state when she was a child. But today, it was exactly what she had been looking forward to.
That man personally destroyed the little hope this family had.
"I...go back to the house first."
Minnie turned around dejectedly. She suddenly felt so tired and tired, and just wanted to escape from everything in front of her forever.
…
Ten minutes later.
Mitong left, and so did Goubuli and others.
The messy courtyard suddenly became quiet, leaving only a written guarantee letter and long and short cigarette butts on the ground.
Looking at this familiar courtyard that no longer belonged to his own family, Xiao Baoer, who had been trying to be strong, couldn't bear it anymore and threw himself into Li Mengnan's arms and burst into tears.
"Brother, we have no home! What will we do in the future..."
Although Xiao Hui was also greatly shocked, she also knew very well that the more times like this, the less she could be chaotic. She pretended to be indifferent and stepped forward to comfort her: "You kid, didn't you also say that?
If the house is gone, we can rent a house to live in, as long as our family is still together, right?"
"I...I just said it casually, so how can it be the same!" Xiao Baoer cried and wiped his tears, acting like a child.
Although she was a little unreasonable and unreasonable, this little girl finally showed the emotions that a child of her age should have for a rare occasion.
"Bao'er, stop making trouble." At some point, Minnie, who had just entered the house, appeared at the door of the main room. Her eyes were red and swollen. She had obviously just cried. Her expression was a little distracted and she said: "Mom is feeling more uncomfortable than you now.
Can you please let mom be quiet for a while?"
"It's okay." Xiao Hui forced a smile, raised her hand to tuck the messy hair behind her ears, beckoned Minnie to come over, and said: "Bao'er's words are not wrong. Let the past things go by. People are alive.
We have to look forward... This house no longer belongs to us. We have only been given a week to move. We have to hurry up. We are all in the family now and we can discuss what to do in the future."
Minnie took a broom and swept the cigarette butts all over the floor to the door. Xiao Baoer moved the table and matza, and the four members of the family sat together again.
"Let's move to the suburbs in the west. The rent there is not high, and it's also close to the school where Ni'er and Xiaonan go to school. From now on, I will move to the area of Tunghai University...but Bao'er may have to get up a little earlier to go to school."
Xiao Hui spoke directly as soon as she sat down, obviously she had already made plans in her mind.
"It doesn't matter if I get up early, but...Mom, the business in the Tunghai University area is not as good as in the city center. Even if the rent is cheap, it is still an extra expense after all. If the expenses are more and the income is less, I'm afraid the family's finances will not be able to bear it, right?
"
Although Minnie usually manages the accounts at home, Xiao Baoer is also extremely sensitive to money issues under the influence of her ears and eyes.
"It's okay. A few days ago, my neighbor Aunt Zhang said that she would introduce me to a job as a supermarket cleaner. I will go to work during the day and set up a stall at night. I should be able to keep up with the money..."
"But... Mom, how can you have time to rest like this?" Xiao Baoer suddenly became anxious.
"Bao'er is right. Mom, it already takes you half a day just to prepare the raw materials for the stall at night. If you do another job, you won't even have time to sleep...
"Minnie also strongly opposed Xiao Hui's proposal, "Mom, don't mention it again about finding a job. At worst, I will contact the clients I have worked with before to see if they have any suitable part-time jobs.
Introduced to me, although my part-time income is unstable, it is still a supplement to some extent..."
"It's okay, Mom will work harder if you work harder... But for you, Nier, if you can't do part-time work like a model, don't do it. It's not good for a girl to always show her face outside, and today's society is so
Chaos, what should I do if I meet a bad person?"
Xiao Hui couldn't help but sigh. If the financial situation at home was not so optimistic, she would never have let Minnie work as a part-time model.
She knows very well that the outside society is like a big dye vat. As long as anyone jumps down, it will be impossible to swim up with the original color. No matter how clean you are, you can't withstand too many temptations from the outside world.
Especially Minnie is such an extremely beautiful girl.
"Mom, it's okay. I'm not stupid. I can tell the difference between what jobs I can take and what jobs I can't."
When Minnie was helping Xiao Hui feel at ease, she subconsciously glanced at Li Mengnan across from her and thought to herself - Bad guy? The worst person in the world is at home. Where else can I meet a worse person?
"Then I will come back early after school every day and help my mother prepare things together. The time saved in this way can allow my mother to sleep more at night..."
Xiao Baoer also quickly expressed his intention to help.
"Mom, Bao'er, Minnie, please stop arguing." At this moment, Li Mengnan, who had been sitting there silently since the beginning of the discussion, finally spoke, "There is a rule in the place where I grew up. As long as
If the men in the family are not dead, there is no need for women to be responsible for the family..."
"Li Mengnan! What are you talking about? What's wrong with us doing something for our own family..." Minnie said angrily. She didn't expect Li Mengnan to be so chauvinistic.
boom!
Li Mengnan slapped his hand on the table, and the loud noise immediately frightened Minnie back.
"I'm not discussing with you, I'm just informing you."
Li Mengnan stood up, with an expression on his face that had never been more serious.
"So, you remember, starting from today, this family's surname is no longer Xiao, but Li. Everything in the family, including you, will be in charge of me from now on!"
After saying that, Li Mengnan didn't give the shocked mother and daughter of the Xiao family any time to react, and turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
"Mom! Look at him! What kind of attitude does he have? What does it mean that this family's surname is Li instead of Xiao?"
This was the first time Minnie was scolded so loudly. She felt so wronged that she complained to Xiao Hui with red eyes.
"Wow--!"
Unlike Minnie who was annoyed, looking at the direction where Li Mengnan's back disappeared, the stars in Xiao Baoer's eyes almost fell out. Her adoring eyes were like seeing a crazy fan of her idol.
"Sister, you are not allowed to say that about my brother! Don't you think he was very handsome just now? Ah, no, it's too handsome, too manly... It's over, it's over, I can't do it anymore, I have such a handsome brother,
How can I find a boyfriend in the future? Compared with my brother, I am a scumbag..."
"You little girl, are you a nymphomaniac? How can such a bastard be so handsome? He is obviously a male chauvinist and looks down on women, okay? He has only been here a few days, why should he be the head of this family?"
Minnie knocked Xiao Baoer's head unceremoniously and retorted angrily.
Looking at the two daughters of Minnie and Xiao Baoer who were arguing endlessly in front of them, and recalling the moment when Li Mengnan stood up and resolutely took on the burden of the entire family, Xiao Hui's eyes suddenly shed tears of relief.
"You two, stop arguing and just do what Xiaonan says... I believe him, and this family really needs a man to support it."
…
As soon as he walked out of the small courtyard with his head held high, Li Mengnan immediately ran around leaning against the wall, and finally crouched in embarrassment under the old locust tree in front of someone's house.
Li Mengnan lit a cigarette and looked at the starry sky-like spots in the gaps in the tree canopy above his head. Li Mengnan suddenly felt extremely stressed.
Some words are easy to say, but not so easy to do.
What he has to take on now is no ordinary home.
At this moment, this home is not even a bare house, it has no roof at all.
Moreover, he has four mouths to eat, four people to dress, and four daily necessities to prepare. Apart from saving an aunt's towel, he really can't think of anything else he can do without spending money.
The basic living expenses for a family of four alone are a large sum, not to mention Xiao Baoer's monthly hemodialysis fees and future kidney transplant surgery expenses.
When Xiao Hui was in charge of the family, it was difficult for Li Mengnan to understand the weight of the burden on his mother's shoulders. Now when he took the initiative to take over the burden, he realized that the pressure his mother had been facing was almost despairing.
He couldn't imagine how his mother, an ordinary housewife with no skills, could survive for such a long time.
Li Mengnan is a juggler, not a magician. He cannot conjure money out of thin air. Now that he has spoken, he can only find ways to make money in a down-to-earth manner to support the three women in his family.
He suddenly and inexplicably remembered a slogan in his class during the college entrance examination in high school - If you don't study hard now, how will you support your woman in the future?
I remember that on the day when this quite funny slogan appeared on the blackboard at the back of the class to announce the position, he was very unruly and secretly added the word "we" at the end of the sentence. Now that I think about it, it really hit the spot.
The meaning of prophecy.
Although the meaning is slightly different.
However, jobs are not that easy to find these days. Many seniors and seniors who graduated last year or even the year before are still relying on the cheap dormitories and canteens of the school and refuse to leave because they have not been able to find a job that can support themselves.
Well, Li Mengnan doesn't think he can be an exception.
After all, apart from juggling, he really has nothing to offer. In this regard, he doesn't even have an advantage over Minnie - at least he has a pair of C's.
Gao Dingtian, the man in the dormitory, actually said that he would introduce him to a job as a bartender. The income was not bad, and the most important thing was that he could work part-time without affecting his usual daytime classes.
Unfortunately, according to this guy, his aunt's bar is still under renovation, and there's no guarantee of when it will open. Expecting this job to come to the rescue is simply not enough to quench your thirst.
Li Mengnan subconsciously took out a wrinkled and rolled-edged business card from his arms, which was left by that weird middle-aged otaku Wei Mao.
Now it seems that the only place that can provide him with a job is this mysterious HX Research Institute.
However, after much thought, Li Mengnan put the business card back again.
He rarely gambles on the odds of something unless absolutely necessary. He doesn't like the feeling of being out of control and having everything depend on his face.
What's more, judging from the recent news from the hospital, a kidney source matching Xiao Baoer will be available in the near future. A job can only solve the current living difficulties at home, and the huge gap in surgical fees cannot be made up.
To be honest, Li Mengnan once thought about gambling.
Just like in the many online novels he usually read, the hero kills everyone in the casino and makes a lot of money by throwing in a few coins.
But after asking local aboriginal Liang Sanbo, Li Mengnan realized how unrealistic this idea was.
There are indeed casinos in Sanshan City, but most of them are underground casinos run by street figures. In order to prevent police raids, not only do the venues have to be changed every now and then, but any new face must be guaranteed by two or more regular customers at the same time before he can enter.
.
Smaller underground casinos don’t have such strict rules, but most of the people who visit these small casinos are idle gangsters. The daily turnover is only a million, let alone a million, even if you dare to
If you win more than 100,000 yuan in the casino, you have to be careful about being slapped with blackmail when you go home at night.
Moreover, small casinos like this are all connected with each other. Once a master is discovered, he will be immediately blacklisted and all casinos will exclude him.
In other words, even if Li Mengnan can trick them once, he will never be able to trick them a second time, and it cannot be used as a stable source of money.
What's more, people on the road can be tricked casually?
Destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents. These people will do anything for money. He is not afraid of these people, but he always has to consider the safety of his mother, Minnie and Xiao Baoer.
As for going to a major international casino like Macau, Li Mengnan would not consider it at all.
Just like the words he often used to educate Wu Ansu, there are specialties in magic, and playing cards in magic and playing tricks in gambling are two completely different concepts.
Those who can work as dealers in such international casinos are gambling masters who have been immersed in this business for more than ten years, or even decades. With his half-hearted gambling skills, it is no problem to bluff laymen, but he can go to a place like that to show off.
It’s like shopping on Taobao on Double Eleven—the rhythm of shopping.
"Three strokes, it's still the same question...how can we raise a large amount of money in the shortest time?"
Although he knew that Liang Sanbo was unreliable, but when faced with a problem that left him at a loss, the only thing Li Mengnan could think of was to ask for help from this guy.
"I'll go, boss, please let me go! Finally, there was a time when no one was in the dormitory at noon, and you made me masturbate non-stop! What if I lose control one day and become a rapist, you
At least half of the responsibility is... Hey? Second brother, what's wrong with you? Wake up! Weren't you fine just now? Open your eyes and see, your most beloved *** is in front of you! Oh, NO——!
"
Liang Sanbo's heart-rending cry came over the phone. It seemed that his second brother had unfortunately been killed in battle.
