Chapter 1507 Li Chengshun is here
The old man said with concern,
"He's become like that, girl, I'm afraid your money won't be returned."
"Alas, there is really nothing I can do. It seems that I have come here for nothing."
The old woman advised Qiqi not to leave.
"Girl, didn't you say your father needs money? Go to her house and ask for it. Ask for whatever you can. Don't refuse it. People like that don't deserve pity."
"Thank you, mother-in-law. I don't know where his old house is."
"Come back with us. It's time for us to go home and cook."
Qiqi helped the two old people pack up their tools and went into the village together.
The village is a small village about the same size as Liangjiazhuang.
The old man lives at the east end of the village, in a small courtyard with three thatched houses.
Zhang Zhi's family lives just to the west of the old man's house, in the same three-room thatched house, which is one of those old houses that has been in disrepair for many years.
There was an earthen wall between the two houses, which was higher at the north end and lower at the south end.
The old woman pointed to the wall and said,
"When Zhiguo's mother was alive, we had a good relationship and the wall was low, so we could talk to each other across the wall. Later, we became enemies with Li Dongmei, so the wall was raised. The two families stopped communicating. Later, her family moved away and no one was left. After a long time, the high wall collapsed on the south side. Now they are back again. Zhiguo is paralyzed in the house, and Li Dongmei can't do farm work. She relies on her mouth to matchmake people and get food and drink for free. She has no money to build the wall. We are old and can't do it anymore. The wall has been collapsed."
Qiqi and the old man sat under a tree in front of the main hall drinking tea. Through the collapsed wall on the south side, they could clearly see an old lady about seventy years old, well-dressed, nimble and walking back and forth in the yard and the house with a wrinkled face.
Apparently, that was the Li Dongmei the old man was talking about.
Qiqi was wondering how to get to the next yard.
There was a sudden knock on the gate of the next yard.
"coming."
Li Dongmei went to open the door, and as it opened, two middle-aged men walked in.
"Look, here comes another matchmaker."
The old woman glanced at the person who came and said to Qiqi in a low voice,
"From his looks, he's from the city. Since he's here to ask Li Dongmei for a match, he must be willing to pay. As long as you're sure and she's willing to pay, you can go over and ask for it. The more you can get, the better."
"Ah."
Qiqi nodded.
The old woman came into the house.
Qiqi quickly turned around and moved the chair to the wall. Leaning against the wall, she could clearly hear what was being said next door.
Because as soon as the two men came in, she recognized them. The middle-aged man was a manager under Chu Haiqing, and his name seemed to be Li Chengshun.
This Li Chengshun had seen her in the Chu family compound.
Qiqi was afraid of being recognized.
So quickly come and sit by the wall.
"You didn't come to me for matchmaking."
Li Dongmei's old but sharp voice came.
"We are here to deliver a letter."
"What letter do you want to send? I'm just an old country woman, and I don't have time to play with you. Otherwise, if you give me some money, I'll chat with you for a while, otherwise, get out of here right away."
"Is this money enough for the conversation?"
"Of course it's enough, of course it's enough, go ahead and ask me, I'll answer any questions you have."
Li Dongmei's enthusiastic voice.
Apparently Li Chengshun gave her a satisfactory amount of money.
His character of loving money like hell is very similar to Chu Haiqing.
"Read the letter."
"I can't read."
"Chu Haiqing said you can read."
The three words "Chu Haiqing" made Li Dongmei's face change.
