C43 (2/2)
To Yi Yunlan, perhaps she might not have much money, and it was something that she could casually throw away. However, Shi Lei had never slept under such a good blanket in her dozens of years!
Moreover, this was only Yi Yunlan's good intentions. There was no need to speak of Shi Lei's gratitude in his heart.
After he returned to the village, Xu Meijiao was no longer at home. Shi Lei did not think too much, and decided to throw the blanket over himself. Last night, Shi Lei had wanted to tell Xu Meijiao that he was going to sleep outside, but there was no electricity on his phone. After all, he was very clear in his heart that if he did not return home to sleep for a day, Elder Sister Meijiao would definitely be very worried!
When she was staying at Elder Sister Meijiao's house, she had already not been able to go home once. That time, it was because both she and Chen Mei had been forced to their cells, so she had no other choice, but that time, Elder Sister Meijiao was not that intimate with him, but now, the two of them were already relatives. If she did not go home now, and her phone was turned off, Elder Sister Meijiao should be angry, right?
”Brat, where did you go!” Just as expected, when Shi Lei had just finished making his quilt, Xu Meijiao coincidentally walked in from outside. He glared and said: You're not going to pick up the phone even when I called you?
Shi Lei anxiously replied: ”I slept at my classmate's house again last night. Originally, I wanted to return a call with you, but my phone ran out of battery, so I didn't tell you, I'm sorry, Elder Sister Meijiao.”
Xu Meijiao snorted, and said doubtfully: ”Really, you didn't forget to tell Elder Sister Meijiao after going out to play, right?”
”Of course not, I really lost my cellphone power later on.” Shi Lei said helplessly: ”Besides, I'm already an adult, it's not small either. Nothing will happen to me.”
Shi Lei could have used Yi Yunlan's phone to call him last night, but when he remembered, Yi Yunlan had already gone to sleep, so he didn't want to wake the others up.
Xu Meijiao said: ”Be more careful next time, going out to play is fine, but you have to be careful, right now the outside world is so chaotic. ”What do you mean by snatching people for their organs, distributing them, and all sorts of other things? You haven't read any books, so what if you get cheated by others?”
Shi Lei felt embarrassed.
But Shi Lei knew, that Elder Sister Meijiao was actually worried for him, and that in her eyes, he was indeed just a child. Of course, he was already a child …
Later, Shi Lei found out that Xu Meijiao had actually gone out to settle some matters for the village. Rumours said that there was also some kind of investment business in the village, it was just that Xu Meijiao did not talk much about it with Shi Lei. Obviously, in Xu Meijiao's eyes, Shi Lei was not able to help.
When Xu Meijiao saw it, he was extremely happy. Luckily Shi Lei had already told him that these medical instruments were invested with him by a friend, so under Xu Meijiao's confusion, he did not ask further, because that was all Shi Lei could say.
Shi Lei just so happened to have some spare money, so he invited the entire village to have a meal with him. It didn't cost too much money.
After all, Yi Yunlan gave him five hundred thousand, and these things were actually less than a hundred thousand!
”It looks like I'll have to give the remaining four hundred thousand to Elder Sister Yi since I won't need it.” When Shi Lei thought about it, he remembered that Yi Yunlan's leg was injured earlier. He did not know what the situation was like today, so he planned to go out and take a look, but what he did not expect was, the moment he left the village, he would see a group of people gallantly running over. Shi Lei was initially curious, but after hearing what they had to say, he stopped in his tracks.
”Go find that bitch Xu Meijiao, why would she say whatever he wants?”
”Exactly, a woman dares to mess around.”
Shi Lei immediately realized that something was about to happen and quickly followed his back. He took the short route and arrived at the clinic, which had opened today but was not open for business since it would start tomorrow, but Xu Meijiao was still busily working inside the clinic today.
Seeing Shi Lei running over, Xu Meijiao asked in surprise: ”What's going on? Didn't you say that you were going to look for your classmate?”
Shi Lei took a deep breath and said anxiously: ”I saw a group of people coming here earlier, and seemed to want to find trouble with you, so I ran back here in a hurry. Elder Sister Meijiao, why don't you hide first.”
Although Shi Lei did not know what was going on, but looking at those people's aggressive attitude, he could understand in his heart that they had not come with good intentions.
Xu Meijiao was startled, he had not reacted either, but very quickly, she saw a group of people walking towards his. Needless to say, they must have asked his about the situation, so they knew that she was at this clinic.
”So it's them.” Xu Meijiao snorted and said: ”They are people from a neighboring village, there's no need to be afraid of them. A few days ago, a merchant said that he wanted to invest in a factory, and the people next to them said that we used their land, that's simply nonsense. It's not like our village is empty, what's there to be afraid of? ”
Shi Lei was stunned, but at the same time, the other party was already shouting and coming in.
”Xu Meijiao!” A man walked in first and scolded, ”What do you mean, using our land to attract money? Do you want to die?!”
Xu Meijiao laughed coldly: ”Your village has already explained your land to them clearly a few days ago, that place belongs to our Qingshan Village. Oh, recently, you youngsters have all come back and come to cause trouble? You, Liu Da Hu, took the lead? ”
Indeed, these men in front of him were all young men in their twenties or thirties! The person in front of him was called Liu Da Hu!
Liu Da Hu, who had just opened his mouth, spoke in a deep voice, ”We are discussing the matter. Our Niu Guangcun has long since decided on that land, plus the river flowed over there, one side is yours, the other side is ours. Isn't this something we agreed upon long ago?”
Xu Meijiao was so angry, it was as though his lungs were about to burst out!
