Chapter 148 To Remind the Thief of the Consequences

Chapter 148 warns of the consequences of theft

Speaking of the word "Thief," Li Jiangang's face darkened, and Zhao Chunhua's face was a little unhappy. He lowered his head and began to pick up the rice. Li Ya and Li Hui also ate with bowls of vegetables, no longer listening to Li Yang with sparkling eyes.

Li Haitang chewed on a bean and asked, "Second uncle, is there any news about li lan?"

Li Jiangang sighed and told her the truth, "She and Zhao Nan fled to Yangcheng. Ten days ago, she called a classmate in tangjiacun who had a good time at school and asked the girl to come home to report a letter. Zhao Nan had a friend who worked at a private leather factory over there, and recommended them to another branch in pearl city. They have been in the factory for four or five days, saying that the factory is covered in food and shelter, and that they can do as much as they want according to the cost."

"That's fine. Be quick. It's not a problem to earn a hundred dollars a month. When she calls back next time, you can educate her. Work hard and don't try to fix those crooked thoughts. If you get caught in jail, your whole life will be ruined." Li Haitang didn't like Li Lan very much, but only gave him a few words of advice for Li Jiangang's sake.

Li Jiangang thought the same thing and sighed, "Yeah, I don't want her to make a lot of money either. I just need to work hard and live my life."

Li Haitang glanced sideways at Zhao Chunhua and said as if nothing had happened, "If there is a person in the family with a black spot on the file, not only will she destroy herself, but her family will also be implicated. It's a good thing she didn't kill anyone this time, but she still has a criminal record at the police station, which caused her uncle to lose his job in the state-owned enterprise, and might even implicate Li Ya and Li Hui in their school work in the future."

"Ah?" Zhao Chunhua's hands trembled. She really didn't know about this. Her face turned pale slightly, "Will this affect ya' er and hui' er?"

Li Haitang nodded and replied, "Yes, there are bad behaviors such as hooligans or theft, and direct relatives with bad moral character. If Li Ya and Li Hui go to enlist in the army, it will be difficult to pass the political examination. In the future, if they take the examinations of civil servants in state organs, even if their results are exceptionally good, the political examination will not pass."

Seeing that the adults were all in a daze, she looked specifically at Li Tao and said for example, "Li Ting's incident was much more serious than Li Lan's. Li Tao was ruined by her. In the future, even if she graduated from college, her job promotion would probably be affected by her."

Li Tao lowered her head and slowly bit on the chicken wings. She had told him before, but now that she heard it again, she was still very upset.

Li Jiangang drank the last bit of soda and stared at Zhao Chunhua with a pair of sharp cold eyes. Seeing her pale face, her voice was very depressed, "Now you know you're scared. Why did you go earlier?"

Zhao Chunhua's face trembled. She knew that her son was the hope of the family in the future. She didn't expect that Li Lan's incident would affect Li Hui. Now she really regretted and was afraid.

"Haitang, in the future, Li Ya and Li Hui will not join the army. Anyway, their grades are not so good. They will definitely not be able to work in the government agencies. In the future, they will work in private factories like brother erzhu's brave sons. Will that affect them?" Li Jiangang knew how much she knew, so he wanted to know more now.

Li Haitang shook his head, "It doesn't matter. But you better educate Li Lan. If she commits a crime outside, she will not only harm herself, her brothers and sisters in the family, but also her future generations. Besides, if you have a criminal record like this, it will be difficult to find a mother-in-law in the future."

Li Jiangang nodded her head repeatedly. Her answer was a satisfying one for him, but the thought of Li Lan going south now, so far away, he couldn't care less about her if he wanted to educate her. The other thing was that he knew that his daughter might not be saved. The more he tried to control her, the more severe he became. In the future, he was afraid that his family would be implicated by her.

Li Ya, Li Hui, don't go to your grandma's house in the future. Don't hang out with your cousins. Learn from Taoer and yang er. Dad doesn't ask you to be as good and capable as haitang, as long as you are honest and quiet. If you want to study, your father will send you to school. If you don't want to study, you will also find a way to send you to study in the future, so that you won't work in the countryside all your life, facing the earth and facing the sky." Li Jiangang shouted at the top of his voice. Li Lan was led astray by the zhao family. It happened that such a mother had taught him, and it was ruined.

The two of them seemed to be afraid of him and answered meekly, "I see, dad."

"Zhao Chunhua, and you, don't go back to your mother's house. Do you know what your mother's brothers and sisters are like? Do you have a good life with them? Pick up some things and take some money to visit your mother on new year's day. Don't talk to anyone else. They're all gone. If you don't change now, something big will happen in the future. It will implicate you, Li Ya and Li Hui. They will ruin our family." Li Jiangang hated that when he was young, he had always been working outside and didn't care much about his family. He didn't know his mother-in-law's family very well. If he had known her very well back then, he would not have married a daughter raised by such a family.

Zhao Chunhua nodded her head. After Li Lan's incident, she saw it clearly and figured it out. With what Li Haitang said today, she was really scared. If their influence destroyed her only son, she would be miserable for the rest of her life, and she would probably end up like Deng Wenfang.

Just as she was thinking about it, Li Jiangang shouted, "If you don't want to be the second Deng Wenfang, you should clear your mind."

"I know, I know." Zhao Chunhua's heart trembled, and he didn't even want to eat the chicken in the bowl.

Li Haitang blinked. She really forgot to ask Li Tao about Deng Wenfang's current situation. It was not good to ask here, so she had to continue eating.

"Okay, second brother, stop talking. Let's eat first." In fact, Lu Hongyu was quite nervous when she heard it. She really wanted to ask Li Haitang if Li Lan's incident would affect her two children. Seeing her second brother was very excited, she couldn't ask him in front of him. She should look for another chance next time.

Li Yang was very sensible and used this time to change the subject. He put a duck leg in Li Jiangang and Li Haitang's bowl, "Uncle, Sister hoi tong, duck leg for you to eat."

"Okay, thank you." Li Haitang smiled slightly.

Li Jiangang also pulled the corners of his mouth, if only his children were so sensible.

After lunch, the weather outside was still very hot. They sat in the hall and blew on the fans. Lu Hongyu also washed a few melons from his house to relieve the heat. She took out the corduroy fabric that Li Haitang had given them, which had a distinct three-dimensional sense of meridians. She fondled it and asked, "Haitang, this corduroy fabric is very good. It's much better than what my aunt sold in the shop. Did you buy it in the provincial capital?"

"No. My Clothing wholesale division products were all imported from Yangcheng. There were clothes and pants made of this material in the store, but I didn't know your size, so I didn't buy the finished product and asked the manufacturer to send me a few pieces of cloth. You know how to make your own clothes anyway, so I'll just bring the cloth back and you can take your own measurements." Li Haitang didn't like the clothes made of this material, but they were sold very well in the shop. The big guy now took advantage of the cheap summer clothes and took them back for winter wear.

"Oh, so it's from Yangcheng. No wonder the quality is much better. It feels quite thick. In winter, it's better than bloated cotton pants."

Zhao Chunhua also came over to touch it. Her share was taken home. Before she could see the goods, she added, "This one is really thick. It's also good in color and can withstand dirt."

"Mom, sister haitang gave you this corduroy fabric. Take yourself and sister to make clothes. I don't want it." Li yang glanced at them. While in the provincial capital, sister haitang took them to the shop to choose clothes. He didn't like this kind of clothes and chose a pair of loose jeans.

"Why don't you?" She gave her a lot of fabric, and Lu Hongyu was still thinking of making two for her son and daughter.

Li Yang smiled and said, "The last time Sister hoi tong brought me to buy a pair of jeans, I think it looks better than this."

Lu hongyu smiled. She looked at the jeans Li Haitang was wearing. They were really good looking and should not be cheap. She also asked her son a lot of questions last night. She also bought him an electronic watch and a lot of other things, which together cost a lot of money.

Zhao Chunhua's face was filled with envy. Her family, Li Ya, had long wanted a pair of jeans, but she was reluctant to buy them.

"Mom, we have one too. Sister haitang gave me and xiao hui a pair of jeans. They are very beautiful. We can wear them in autumn." When Li Ya got home, he opened all the packages and tried them on long ago.

Zhao Chunhua laughed happily when he heard that they had it too.

While they were chatting, the neighbors of the next two families came over after lunch. Lu Hongyu generously gave Li Yang a few dollars and asked him to buy some sunflower seeds from the village store.

Around three o' clock, Li Haitang and Li Jiangang went to Li Yuanhua's house, took a ruler to measure the area of the land, and left the rest to his captain.

Around half past five, carrying a large bag of vegetables stuffed by aunt er zhu, the two sisters rode their bicycles back to town.

In the evening, the two of them cooked a pot of meat with green pepper, fried eggs with bitter melon, and a large bowl of loofah soup. They were all home-cooked dishes, but the taste was very good. They had two big bowls of rice each.

During dinner, Li Haitang remembered something he didn't have time to ask today, "Li Tao, what happened to your mother after Li Ting at the beginning of this year?"

Li Tao frowned and stopped eating with his chopsticks. His voice was a little low, "That day, she was hit by a beam on the roof. Her left leg was badly injured, and the baby in her stomach was gone. She stayed in the county hospital for a month before she was discharged. After she was discharged, grandma took her back to live with her little uncle. Sister's incident was so big that several towns nearby knew that the two sons of the construction contractor firmly refused to let mom in, which was stronger than the previous objection. Then the man gave mom a thousand yuan and left."

Li Haitang raised her eyebrows and made a fuss. In the end, the deng family took her in.

"She had a bone injury and was still in bed for nearly two months after she was discharged from the hospital. When I went to see her in may, I was able to walk slowly on crutches without leaving any disability."

Li Tao didn't tell anyone about his past visit to his mother. Even Li Jianguo didn't know. No matter what, it was his mother who gave birth to him and raised him. Her voice was a little low, "After all this, my sister has changed. She hasn't changed. She was always cursing at home. If it weren't for her grandparents'sake, even her little uncle would have chased her away. When she went to see her in june, her legs were already healed and she went to zhu qiang's house to make a scene. After hearing that Zhu Qiang gave her two thousand yuan, she took his wife to work in the south."

"What about now?" Li Haitang really admired the woman's strength.

Uncle helped her rebuild the house in town and wanted her to move back. She probably couldn't stand her neighbors' pointing and didn't want to live there. Later, in mid-june, she went out to work with the people there, as if she had gone to a factory in gan province to weave a mat. I heard all this from my aunt. Mom didn't come to tell me." Li Tao couldn't figure it out. His mother treated him well before his parents divorced, but now she didn't see him as her son at all.

Li Haitang put down his chopsticks and said calmly, "Actually, your uncle is really kind to your mother."

"Yes." Li Tao nodded.

After dinner, Li Haitang went to take a shower. Li Tao was washing dishes in the kitchen.

When she came out of the bathroom, he said to her, "Sister hoi tong, I want to go to the county tomorrow."

"County?" Li Haitang was a little stunned, wiping his hair with a towel and asking, "What are you doing in the county?"

"I want to see sis." Li Tao replied. He was referring to "Sister" as Li Ting, of course.

Li Haitang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know where she is being held?"

"Yes, I know. Dad took me there. Actually, I went to see her before I went to the provincial capital. She was doing well inside, and she was still energetic, much thinner than at the beginning of the year. She told me that in addition to studying, she would often go to work and make some handiwork. She lived a regular life." After Li Tao finished speaking, he let out a deep sigh, like a grown child.

Hearing what he said, it seemed that Li Ting was reflecting on himself inside, hoping that she could change. She patted him on the shoulder, "Then you can buy more food tomorrow and bring her over to see her. Let her perform well, strive for a reduced sentence, and come out early."

"Well, that's what dad said, and he asked me to give her a message. He will try his best to help her come out early in the future, but she has to cooperate with him." Li Tao always felt sorry for Li Ting. Although he knew a lot of things had nothing to do with him, she was the only sister who was related to him by blood, and he couldn't ignore her.

"I'm going to the village tomorrow to do some work, so I can't go with you. Be careful." Li Haitang warned him that although he was only fourteen years old, he had traveled from south to north. With rich experience in going out, she was relieved to let him go out alone.

"Yes, I know." Li Tao smiled. He was no longer a child who had never seen the world. "You go in and read. I'll go to bed after I take a shower. I'll get up early tomorrow."

"Okay." Li Haitang went back to his room, lit a plate of mosquito-repellent incense, opened the ceiling fan, sat at his desk and began to review the next semester's textbooks.
