Li Changpu's hometown, Gaoshan Village

The Li family lived a good life. With the subsidy from Li Changpu over the years, they built three large tiled houses. Their conditions were among the best in the village. At this moment, the family was sitting in front of a dark wooden table. The oil lamp was dim and weak. Li Wangtian had a dark face and was smoking a pipe. Around him were his two sons, Li Ergou and Li Sangou.

On the wooden table were the money and letters sent back by Li Changpu.

All three of them had sad looks on their faces.

Li Ergou was fat and strong, with a stupid look on his face. He was the first to speak up and said, "Dad, tell me something. What are we going to do from now on?"

Li Wangtian was already upset because of this matter, and when he heard his son screaming, he slapped Li Ergou on the back of the head twice, "Why are you screaming? Your father is dead!"

"One or two of them don't take me seriously, and this bastard, he even doesn't care about his father after getting married, he deserves to be struck by lightning."

Li Wangtian pointed at the letter written by Li Changpu and cursed loudly, saliva flying everywhere.

Li Sangou's eyes were rolling around, and he looked very scheming. While no one was paying attention, he quickly wiped his face. His father scolded the eldest brother, and spit on his face. Li Sangou endured the stench of saliva with the smell of cigarettes and said, "Dad, don't be angry. In the past, the eldest brother gave our family thirty and the second sister twenty. Now he only gives us ten. So we can take the money from the second sister. We can still spend thirty, which is no different from before."

Li Wangtian's eyes lit up, and then he thought of what happened a few years ago. After thinking it over, he decided not to agree.

When they sent money back in the past, they also coveted Hua'er's money. As a result, when the eldest brother came back, he made a lot of trouble and not only gave all the money back, but he was also called over by the village chief and secretary to be scolded. The villagers forgot about this matter for a few years, but he still remembered that in the past few years, a group of villagers followed him around and laughed at him.

If he could have embezzled this money, his family would have been making either 30 or 50 yuan a month these years, and he, Li Wangtian, would have been rich long ago.

Li Sangou saw Li Wangtian shaking his head, and he knew that he was afraid that the village chief would punish him again. His father was a lazy and cunning person, always slacking off at work. The village chief and the team leader looked down on him. Last time they met the eldest brother returning home, he accused him of embezzling the money he had given to Huaer. The village chief took that opportunity to give him a good beating, and even asked him to put his fingerprints on the big tiled house and write a letter of guarantee as collateral.

Li Sangou saw his father like that and knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he turned his attention to his second brother who was as stupid as a pig, "Second brother, let's take the money from Hua'er. It's time for you to get married, and there are many places to spend money."

When Li Ergou heard that he was going to marry a wife, his face was covered with smiles. He wanted to agree, but then he thought of Li Changpu's face that could freeze a person to death, and shook his head quickly, "No, if the boss knew that I took Hua'er's money, he would really beat me to death."

The last time Boss Li came back, he rushed to the front and was pinned to the ground and beaten up. He still hurts all over when he thinks about it now, and he will never dare to do it again.

Seeing Li Ergou's cowardly look, Li Sangou stopped talking to him and said to Li Wangtian, "Dad, talk to my second sister and ask her to hand over the money to show her filial piety to you. Isn't my second sister the most filial one?"

Li Wangtian cursed Li Sangou, "If I could have asked for this money, I would have asked for it a long time ago. You don't need me to tell you. Your sister listens to me in other matters, but this money is for her husband's medical treatment. She values ​​it more than her life and refuses to give it to me. I can't ask for it, but you can ask for it if you want."

Li Sangou was not annoyed after being scolded. He sighed and said, "What should we do? What can the three of us do with ten yuan a month? Dad, you are not in good health and can't go out to work. Second brother is about to get married, and we can't let him be single forever. And I, the school requires me to pay again, where will the money come from? Big brother is really something. The money he sent before was barely enough, and now he only gives us this little. Isn't this forcing our family to die!"

Li Ergou suddenly became anxious, "Dad, I don't want to be a bachelor, I want a wife, you tell the third child to stop studying, I don't know what's the point of studying for so many years, he has spent all the family money, you save the family money for me to marry a wife."

Li Sangou wanted to vent his father's anger, but the fool Li Ergou actually complained that he spent money to stop him from studying. Li Sangou was furious and stopped pretending. He cursed directly, "Second brother, what are you talking about? I spent the money on studying for a good purpose. It's a waste of money for you to marry a wife. You look like a pig. Which woman would want to be with you?"

The two of them were about to start fighting as they talked.

Li Wangtian was furious with the two brothers, but who could have made him love these two sons? He had his own calculations in mind. The eldest son was a person who could not be tamed and he held a grudge against him. Every time he looked at him, his eyes were not like those of a son looking at his father, but rather like those of an enemy. He was unreliable and he would have to rely on these two for his retirement.

Li Wangtian had no choice but to say, "Why are you so anxious? I can make sure you have no money to spend. The eldest brother doesn't want to care about his father, but that's wishful thinking. No matter what, he has to give up the money."

The two brothers immediately stopped arguing and came to Li Wangtian, "Dad, do you have a solution?"

Li Wangtian finished smoking, tapped his pipe against the sole of his shoe twice, and said proudly, "The boss is successful now, and he is doing well in the team. We are all peasants, and the barefoot ones are not afraid of the ones wearing shoes. I don't believe that if I lie in front of his leader's door and make a scene, he will still have the face to hand over the money to me obediently."

Li Sangou was still a little worried, "Dad, the boss is a ruthless man, and he has his own tricks. Can we get the upper hand from him?"

Li Wangtian added, "How dare he? If the son punishes the father, he must be right, otherwise he would be considered unfilial. I wonder how he will live with this accusation."

Li Sangou added, "We are not in the right to ask him for 30 yuan a month. Who can speak for us?"

Li Wangtian laughed, "Stupid, who said we went to ask him for money?"

Li Sangou: "That is..."

Li Wangtian slammed the letter on the table and said, "I'll ask him to divorce his wife."

Li Ergou and Li Sangou were stunned, "Ah!"

Li Wangtian's eyes were blazing with anger. "The boss is a generous man with a lot of money. Over the years, I could get a lot out of him with a little effort. Why would he suddenly stop giving me money? It must be the woman he married. It seems she is a shrewd woman. As soon as we got married, she instigated the boss to stop giving me money. I can't keep this woman."

Li Sangou: "Will the boss listen to you?"

Li Wangtian: "I am his father, and I agreed to his marriage?"

Li Ergou and Li Sangou shook their heads together, "No"

Li Wangtian clapped his hands, "That's it, the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, this marriage doesn't count."

"After we drive this woman away, we'll find an obedient and gentle woman for the boss. From now on, we'll have the final say on the boss' salary."

When Li Sangou heard this, he immediately complimented, "Dad still has a way."
