The worst bad habits of human beings are to laugh at others who have nothing, hate others who have money, despise others who are poor, and resent others who are rich.

How could Li Xiangnan, who has lived two lives, not understand these principles?

The world is full of all kinds of people, and each kind of rice can feed hundreds of different kinds of people.

In this society, there are people with broad vision who live freely like Uncle Qin, good people who are dedicated to serving the people like Shen Qianzhong, and good officials like Zhang Zhidong who devote their lives to their careers.

There are people like Ma Ying-jeou, Xing Jian, and Sun Jie who treat others sincerely, and there are also good friends like Wang Defa and Zhang Jingyang who are willing to go through thick and thin for their brothers.

But we have to admit that society is diverse and people’s hearts are complex.

The world is never black and white.

Where there is a good side, there is naturally a bad side.

Of course there are good neighbors and bad neighbors.

Liang Mei is an absolutely good neighbor, but in this courtyard where more than a hundred people live, it is inevitable to encounter bad neighbors with ulterior motives, who smile on their faces but stab you in the back.

Li Xiangnan knew very well that Liang Mei's words were not nonsense, nor were they just random talk.

This reminder is well-founded and based on personal experience.

After all, she is a resident of the courtyard house who walked out of here.

only the guy drinking water knows it's cold or hot.

She has a clear account in her mind of who is good and who is bad.

But this kindness comes at a price!

Li Xiangnan had heard about the experiences of Liang Mei and Jin Wei.

For Liang Mei, returning to live in the courtyard house means she will inevitably experience torment and endure it all the time. All she sees is the sweet pain of the past!

The house next door carries Liang Mei and her lover, a sweet and forever memorable day.

Those were years that she would never forget in her life, the memories of her youth.

The person is gone. Just because Ruobai and I are not bullied, should we build our happiness on Liang Mei's pain?

Li Xiangnan would naturally not do such a thing!

"Sister Liang! Isn't this bad? You said that the memories of this place are not good..."

Subconsciously, Li Xiangnan expressed his thoughts and politely declined the other party.

"Xiao Li! How long has it been?" Liang Mei smiled and covered her mouth. "Remember the last time you and Old Qin were here to comfort me? How could I be so fragile? If I can't get over this, how can I live in the future? People can't always live in the past!"

"But, Sister Liang, there are so many in this yard..."

"southward!"

At this time, the grandmother who was sitting beside her stirring the porridge with a spatula called out softly and said softly: "Xiao Liang has her own considerations. It is one thing for her to want to help you, and it is another thing for her to want to come back and face her heart and move on from the past. Both require courage! Helping others to achieve their goals is also a human virtue, isn't it?"

"..."

Li Xiangnan was stunned.

Grandma is not a selfish person.

Naturally, she would not agree to Liang Mei's request just because she was afraid that she and Ruobai would be wronged!

When I think about it carefully, it is indeed as Liang Mei and my grandmother said.

When an egg hatches into a chick, it is broken from the inside. All growth must go through a process of "questioning one's conscience".

Doesn’t this fit in with what my grandmother once said: Don’t ask for help from others!

"Okay!" Li Xiangnan took a deep breath and nodded, no longer bothering about Liang Mei's plan, and said sincerely: "Thank you in advance, Sister Liang!"

"If you want to thank someone, it should be me. I can't thank you enough!" Liang Mei covered her mouth and smiled, then raised her eyes and said, "Did Dean Yao tell you that the pediatric department will be opened soon? He has been looking for funds for a while, and finally it has been settled! That's all the foundation you laid in advance. My career is going to reach a higher level!"

"Congratulations!" Li Xiangnan clasped his fists sincerely.

Ma Ying-jeou and others also smiled slightly.

"Hey, there's a video!"

As they were talking, Tao Zhengtie exclaimed in surprise from the side.

Li Xiangnan turned his head and saw a human figure flashing continuously on the TV set, looking very unstable among the snowflakes.

"Hey, Lao Sun, aren't you too impatient? The wires haven't been installed yet! What are you looking at?" Wang Defa teased.

"Of course we have to try it first to see if it's working! If we work hard for a long time and end up with a defective product, we have to go to the store!" Sun Jie turned the button on the engine case very skillfully.

It can be seen that his father-in-law's family definitely has a TV, so everyone felt confident in handing this job over to him.

"Oh, I feel relieved!" Ma Ying took out a cigarette and gave it to the brothers. He sat on the doorstep leisurely, looking at the TV on the table, and said with emotion: "Damn it, this thing really made us suffer!"

Grandma scooped a bowl of red bean porridge and handed it to him solemnly, "You've worked hard!"

"Oh, his grandmother, you can't do this!" Ma Yingcu stood up suddenly and stretched out her hands to take it, feeling very flattered.

"Be careful, it's hot!" grandma reminded after handing it to me.

"I know, I know!" Ma Ying was really touched.

Grandma hurried to serve porridge to Cui Xingjian, Wang Defa and others.

The two well-behaved ones stood there like grandchildren, bending over and holding the large bowl carefully.

"Grandma, you don't have to be like this! We are all Xiao Li's brothers, we are family!" Cui Xingjian said very moved.

"Xiangnan is in Yanjing, thanks to you guys who are by his side taking care of him and helping him! There's nothing I can do, it's just a small thing, don't take it to heart! Is it enough? Let me help you scoop some?" Grandma said as she went to help Tao Zhengtie scoop another spoonful into the bowl.

Li Xiangnan reminded her, "Mother-in-law, the TV was given by them! It's a wedding gift for Ruobai and me!"

"Oh my! You guys!" When grandma heard this, she was immediately moved. She quickly put down the spatula, walked to the side and started to lift her sweater.

He fiddled with the three layers of clothing for a long time, and finally found a pocket from the innermost lining. He asked Liang Mei for a pair of scissors, removed the pocket, and took out a cloth wallet from it, and started to take out money.

"This money was originally intended for Nan Nan! I was going to stay for two days and then give it to him, but he didn't want me to leave first! So I never gave it to him! You guys are so careless. Why did you buy him a TV? It's so expensive! How much is it? I'll give it to you right away..."

As she spoke, she sat at the table and sorted out the money penny by penny.

Wang Defa, Cui Xingjian and Sun Jie said nothing and turned their eager eyes to Ma Ying.

"Hey!" Ma Ying knew what they wanted from him when he saw the situation. He immediately grabbed the old lady's wallet and patted his grandmother's arm. "Grandma, you must keep the money! We bought a TV for Xiao Li because we really want him to live a good life! He's getting married, and he's getting such a good wife. We're so happy! We really are! We don't want your money, we really don't want it! If you give us money, our relationship with Xiao Li will change!"

"Grandma! Please put it away!" Wang Defa said with red eyes.

"Yes, put it away! This TV was bought by a few of us, and no one contributed much! You don't have to think that we spent a lot of money, that's impossible! Xiao Li is living a good life, and we brothers are happy for it from the bottom of our hearts!" Cui Xingjian picked up the wallet from Ma Ying's hand and stuffed bills into it one by one.

Seeing her grandmother reaching out to take it, Liang Mei grabbed her skinny hands and said with a smile, "Listen to them! Xiao Li is also good to them, and we are all kind to each other! In life, we interact with each other. We are different from the neighbors in this courtyard! We are sincere! Grandma, this is a gift from them, please accept it!"

"..." Grandma's eyes moistened silently and she turned to look at her grandson who hadn't said a word.

"Mother-in-law, I know what's going on!" Li Xiangnan nodded gently at her.

"Okay, okay then!" Grandma also nodded and said to Liang Mei, "Xiao Liang, you can read, can you help me write their names and addresses as well?"

"Grandma, what are you going to do?" Liang Mei was really curious.

Ma Ying, Cui Xingjian and Wang Defa didn't know how to stop them and they all looked at Li Xiangnan.

"Write it, Sister Liang, it's okay!" Li Xiangnan knew that this was the rule of the Zhu family.

No matter how small the favor is, you must record it in detail in the notebook, and remember to repay it with a spring of kindness.

In the room, Ma Ying was instructing Liang Mei to write everyone's address, while Sun Jie and Li Xiangnan were smoking outside.

Looking at the busy scene inside, Sun Jie said with emotion:

"In the past, the officers in the security department often asked me, how did you, Li Xiangnan, become so successful in Yanjing?"

"I have thought about this question for a long time and discussed it with Wenli, but I still feel that those external things are not the final answer."

"Now I understand a little bit!"

He turned his head and looked at the young man steadily, and said with certainty: "You Li family members have a kind of soul in the way you conduct yourself and do things!"
