After a while, I heard the sound of a loudspeaker, and then people came over one after another.
"Uncle Li, does his family have a lot of money?"
"Aunt Guihua, thank you for that. This is the three thousand yuan I owe you." Li Mingran took the money from the bag and gave it to her.
"Do you have money at home? I'm not in a hurry."
"Yes, yes, thank you back then. This is not Xiaofan coming back and making some money outside."
Hearing that it was Li Fan who earned the money, Aunt Guihua was surprised: "This is Li Fan, the young man looks just right. He, Uncle Li, you have a good son, you will enjoy happiness in the future."
"Lao Li, what's going on when I hear the loudspeaker shouting? Is the family short of money?"
"Brother Zhao, no, I owe too much to the people in the village, so Xiaofan came up with this idea. You all helped me in the beginning, and now that you have money, you will naturally have to pay back the money."
"Xiaofan is back? Needless to say, Xiaofan also brought the money to the family?"
"Yes, this child is promising now." He took out the money from his bag and said, "This is 2,500 that I owe you."
More and more people came, and the scene became more and more spectacular. Even some villagers who were not here to get money came to watch the fun.
They all said at once: "The longer we don't see this Li Fan for a few years, the better."
"Yes, Lao Li's family will raise their sons to see how promising their sons are."
"Yes, some people were really blind back then." This was a scolding of Kong Xiaoxu. Although Tang Wei's family had good conditions, no one in the village knew that he was a useless prodigal.
The corners of Li Mingran and Wang Hongxia's mouths never dropped from the beginning. They haven't been so happy for a long time.
As parents, when they hear someone praise their children, they feel proud from the bottom of their hearts.
Li Fan looked at the happy smiling faces of his parents and the simple villagers. This is why he loves his hometown.
The green mountains, green waters, fresh air, honest villagers, and relatives at home are all the reasons for Li Fan to stay here.
"Uncle Li, this money is wrong." Aunt Guihua, who had just returned home, came back with the money in a panic.
The villagers who came to see the excitement were stunned when they saw this, and then whispered.
"This old Li family won't be able to pay off debts and still be short of money."
"No way, Lao Li doesn't look like this kind of person."
"Who knows what his son is like."
There is always jealousy wherever there are people, and some people just can't see others living well.
"Aunt Guihua, did Lao Li give you less money?" someone asked loudly.
"No, no." Seeing that everyone had misunderstood, Aunt Guihua hurriedly explained: "I have always believed in the character of Lao Li's family, so I just pretended to do it when Lao Li gave me money. When I got home, I saw that there were too many
500 yuan, just come and deliver it to Lao Li."
Seeing the scene in front of him, Li Fan smiled: "Aunt Guihua, this money is either given to the wrong person, or it is given to you. My family has owed you money for so long, but you have never asked for it. After so many years, it should be.
"
"You can't do it, you can't do it." Aunt Guihua quickly put the money into Li Fan's hand: "I lent money to your father because old neighbors help each other. I didn't want to take advantage of your family. What will happen to me now."
"Aunt Guihua, that's not what I meant. If you keep these three thousand yuan in the bank for seven years, you will get more than three hundred yuan in interest, so the five hundred yuan is what you deserve." After saying that, Li Fan stuffed the five hundred yuan into his pocket.
In the hands of Auntie Osmanthus fragrans.
"His aunt Osmanthus fragrans, these are just some of the child's wishes, so just accept them."
"Yes, just keep it." Li Fan loudly said: "When I paid back the money, I rounded it up according to the bank's deposit interest rate and gave everyone the interest, just a little more. I have not been at home these years. Thank you all.
My father-in-law and fellow villagers have helped my family so much. I, Li Fan, don’t like to say nice things, but please don’t refuse my kindness. If the folks need help in the future, I hope I, Li Fan, can do it and I will do my best.
"
After hearing what Li Fan said, everyone was stunned, and then someone took the lead, and everyone applauded heartily.
"Li Fan, well done, you really give Brother Li some face."
"Brother Li, please teach me how you can raise such a good son."
"Brother Li, if you want a daughter-in-law, I will help you find a matchmaker. My niece is a college student and is now a teacher."
...
The villagers chatted with each other and became more and more enthusiastic. Those who had shut out the Li family in the first place began to secretly regret it. If they had known that this would happen, they would have helped.
This is what Li Fan and Li Mingran agreed upon. They haven't come to ask for it for seven years, but this relationship needs to be repaid.
This move was unintentional and played a major role in Li Fan's future development of the village. Of course, this is all a story later.
Today he had been busy all morning just paying back the money. He had a meal at noon and rested for a while. Before he could figure out how to make medicinal wine, he followed his parents to the fields.
"Mom, we are growing soybeans in our fields now."
"Yeah, your dad's legs are bad, so I can only plant some crops that are easy to do."
Wang Hongxia said while bending down to mow the grass.
"This bean king is really lacking in virtue. This thing has entangled the good beans to death."
Li Fan looked at the familiar herb and said to himself: "Is this dodder?"
"What dodder? This is the bean king. He likes to grow in the bean fields. It's annoying to death."
But Li Fan knew that this was dodder. He didn't expect to see so many dodders in his field. The medicinal wine he had never had a clue about was now available.
Cuscuta is a weed that damages crops in crop fields, but it is also a medicinal material that has the effects of nourishing the liver and kidneys, replenishing essence and aphrodisiac.
Li Fan quickly searched for prescriptions related to dodder seeds in the soul sea. Sure enough, his hard work paid off. He found a recipe that mainly focused on dodder seeds, which has the effect of tonifying the kidneys and aphrodisiac!
"Mom, don't throw away these dodders. Take them home when the time comes. I'll put them to great use!"
"What's the use of this thing? It's harmful to people." He said this, but he still put the dodder that should be treated as garbage in the basket.
"Xiaofan, please stop doing this. Go home and pack five pounds of soybeans and deliver them to Wang Ergou's house."
"Mom, why are you sending so many soybeans to Wang Ergou's house?"
He knew Wang Ergou, but Wang Ergou was a fool. He only had a widowed mother by his side. He was ignorant when he was young and loved playing tricks on him most with the children in the village.
"Hey, you don't know." Wang Hongxia sighed: "A few years ago, Wang Ergou got married and bought a daughter-in-law. She was a very nice person. But half a year after the marriage, Wang Ergou went into the river and drowned. After that, Wang Ergou drowned.
Gou's widowed mother thought he was the son of his new wife Ke's son, and tortured the little girl in every way. But his widowed mother was already old, and she was so stimulated by the death of two dogs that she left half a year later.
