Chapter 217 What is going on?

Not long after, Li Dawei finally calmed down, and then he pulled Li Guoqiang to sit on the chair.

"Qiangzi, why did you come back suddenly?"

"Dad, this is what happened."

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly recounted the reasons and consequences of his return to the city, then took out the red certificate and placed it in front of Li Dawei.

Li Dawei was stunned when he saw this award certificate that was enough to bring honor to his family.

"you"

"Is everything you said true?"

"Did you really see the old man?"

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted to see Li Dawei like this, and then he laughed and said, "Of course it's true. Look, it's clearly written on the certificate!"

"This"

"This is incredible!"

Li Dawei looked at Li Guoqiang, then at the certificate, and then murmured in a trance.

No matter how he thought about it, he never dared to imagine that his eldest son would actually achieve such a great honor.

If this had happened in the old days, there would have been gongs and drums, dragon and lion dances, and a grand banquet.

As he thought about it, he thought about how he had been worried about Li Guoqiang's health every day for all these years. His nose suddenly felt sore and the tears that had not yet completely dried up immediately came out again.

"dad!"

Li Guoqiang frowned upon seeing this, and then hurriedly asked, "What are you doing? I'm successful now, shouldn't you be happy?"

"Happy!"

Upon hearing this, Li Dawei quickly reached out his hand to wipe away his tears, then nodded hurriedly and said, "Dad is happy for you from the bottom of my heart."

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang smiled slightly, and then didn't say anything, but just reached out and patted Li Dawei's back gently.

Many times, it’s not that parents don’t want to put down the burden on their shoulders, but that they are always worried about their children’s future, health, mood, and situation.

When the children are able to stand on their own and break away from the protection of their parents, they will become like children again and need the care of their children.

"Alright, it's not easy for Qiangzi to come back, you should stop crying like that. If someone hears you, they will laugh at you!"

At this time, Yao Meilan finally couldn't help but interrupt their father-son love.

Hearing her words, Li Dawei quickly reached out to wipe away his tears, then nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, then, Lan Zi, you quickly go and cook a few more dishes, I'll go buy a few bottles of wine, and we must have a few drinks later!"

After saying that, he wanted to get up and look for the drink ticket in the bedside table.

"Dad, stop working!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang quickly reached out and grabbed Li Dawei, then laughed and said, "I brought back a few bottles of good wine from the Northeast. Let's drink that wine first."

"Besides, I brought some things home."

As he spoke, he took things out one by one from the luggage he brought back, and soon the entire round table was filled to the brim.

Among them, in addition to two bottles of Beida Cang, there was also a jar of ten kilograms of winter honey, a bag of dried black fungus, a bag of dried mushrooms, two cured rabbits, two cured pheasants, a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, six kilograms of deer antlers, a colorful tiger skin blanket, and four rabbit fur coats.

In fact, it was not that he was unwilling to take out more things, but he carefully selected these things because he did not want to arouse unnecessary suspicion.

Seeing these things, Li Dawei and Yao Meilan were immediately frightened.

Not to mention the priceless tiger king skin rug, just the adult-sized century-old wild ginseng and the six kilograms of fresh deer antlers were enough to surprise them.

"Qiangzi, did you get these things by yourself over there?"

After a while, Yao Meilan was the first to come back to her senses and asked hurriedly.

"Yup!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, and then explained seriously: "Don't worry, I got these things from the mountains over there."

"That's good, that's good!"

Yao Meilan felt relieved instantly when she heard Li Guoqiang's answer.

Afterwards, she looked at the things on the table with shining eyes, wishing she could put these good things away immediately.

However, because Li Dawei had not spoken yet, she could only suppress the impulse in her heart and stand aside silently.

The main reason why their family has been able to live in harmony over the years is that she is more sensible. Whenever there is an issue involving Li Guoqiang, she will first ask Li Dawei's opinion before doing anything.

Especially now, the things on the table are worth at least a thousand or eight hundred yuan, which is equivalent to her salary for two or three years.

She didn't dare to act on her own with such a large sum of money.

Li Guoqiang was naturally unaware of this. Seeing that Li Dawei and Yao Meilan were relieved, he hesitated for a moment, then reached into his trouser pocket, took out a hundred big black ten notes from his pocket, and gently placed them in front of Li Dawei.

"Dad, Mom, this money is earned from hunting in the mountains and working for the production team."

After these words were spoken, Li Dawei and Yao Meilan looked at the small stack of black coins on the table and were stunned for a moment.

Originally, they thought that it was scary enough that Li Guoqiang could go into the mountains and get those valuable things, but they didn't expect that Li Guoqiang would take out so much money in an instant.

If they didn't believe that Li Guoqiang would not lie, they would probably have been ready to urge Li Guoqiang to run away.

After a long while, Li Dawei suddenly took a deep breath and asked seriously, "Qiangzi, tell me the truth, where did all this money come from?"

"dad!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but said helplessly: "Didn't I just say this! This money is earned by hunting in the mountains and helping the production team."

"You don't know if you haven't been there. There are a lot of prey in the mountains! If you kill a wild boar, you can earn one or two hundred yuan, not to mention big insects and blind bears."

"So you can rest assured! If I really did something illegal, do you think I could come back and get this certificate?"

Hearing this, Li Dawei and Yao Meilan took a look at the red certificate on the table and finally felt relieved.

Then, Li Dawei quickly reached out and took the money and stuffed it into Li Guoqiang's hand, then said in a deep voice: "Since this money is earned by you with great effort, you should keep it well."

"You are a grown man, how can you go out without some money?" "Dad!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly explained: "Listen to me, I still have money on me, you don't have to worry about me."

"I brought this money back specially to honor you and mom. You can use this money to buy whatever you want in the future."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Li Dawei to say no, he just stuffed the money into Yao Meilan's hand, and then said, "Mom, please keep this money first, you can use it to help Xiaofu get married in the future."

Yao Meilan was about to refuse, but when she heard Li Guoqiang's words, she suddenly felt moved.

Although their family has accumulated some assets over the years.

However, apart from the money spent on buying things for Li Guoqiang to go to the countryside, and occasionally exchanging tickets for Li Guoqiang to buy supplies and send them over, there was not much savings left in the family.

In addition, Li Guofu had just taken over Li Dawei's job and the family's income had decreased a lot, so she had always been a little worried about Li Guofu's marriage.

If she could accept this thousand yuan, it would undoubtedly make her feel more at ease. In the future, whether she wanted to buy a three-wheeler or some furniture, it would not be a problem.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but cast an inquiring look at Li Dawei.

Seeing this, Li Dawei immediately thought of Li Guoqiang's change of heart, then nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, since Qiangzi has money, you can keep it first!"

"Ok!"

Yao Meilan was delighted, and then she quickly said, "Then I will keep the money for Qiangzi first, and you can ask me for it when you need it in the future!"

At this time, Li Guoqiang had no idea what Li Dawei was thinking. When he saw that the thousand yuan was finally given away, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

If possible, he wouldn't mind leaving more money for his family. After all, money is just a number to him.

It was only because the source of the money was difficult to explain that he chose to take out one thousand yuan.

Even so, he almost couldn't get away with it.

Fortunately, he had the award certificate as proof, otherwise, he really didn't know how to persuade Li Dawei and Yao Meilan to accept the money.

Just as Yao Meilan put away the money and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook a few more dishes, Li Dawei suddenly looked serious and asked in a deep voice: "Qiangzi, let me ask you, did you get married with another girl over there?"

Hearing this question, Yao Meilan immediately remembered Luo Huijuan's heartbroken expression, and then she hurriedly stopped and looked at Li Guoqiang with some dissatisfaction.

When Li Guoqiang heard this question, he was confused. "Dad, what are you talking about? You know about Juan'er and I. How could I get married with another girl?"

"okay!"

Seeing that Li Guoqiang didn't admit it, Li Dawei couldn't help but scold him angrily: "You are a grown man, you should take responsibility for what you did. Don't play dumb with me."

"What is this all about?"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang quickly opened his mouth and complained: "Dad, I didn't, I really didn't get a marriage certificate with another girl, don't you still believe me?"

"If you don't believe me, I can swear to your face."

Seeing Li Guoqiang's confident look, Li Dawei hesitated for a moment, "You really didn't?"

"Really do not have!"

Li Guoqiang rolled his eyes, then shook his head helplessly and said, "Dad, I don't know why you think I got married with another girl over there, but I can assure you that this is not the case at all."

"That"

Li Dawei frowned, then looked at Yao Meilan, and asked in confusion, "Then why did you write to Xiaojuan saying that you had obtained a marriage certificate with another girl?"

"what?"

Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned, then asked in surprise: "You mean I wrote to Juan'er and told her that? How is that possible?"

After he finished speaking, he saw that Li Dawei and Yao Meilan did not say anything, so he hurriedly asked, "Where is the letter? Where is the letter? Take it out and show it to me. I want to see what is going on!"

"that."

Li Dawei paused for a moment when he saw Li Guoqiang like this, then suddenly turned his head to look at Yao Meilan and said softly, "Lanzi, go and call Xiaojuan over quickly! No matter what, it's better to get this matter cleared up."

"Okay, I'll go get her over here!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Meilan nodded hurriedly and agreed.

After saying that, she turned around and walked out in a hurry, obviously wanting to get to the bottom of the matter.

Soon, she walked into the next room and saw Luo Jiwu with an angry look on his face, and Luo Huijuan who was silently wiping her tears.

"Humph!"

When Luo Jiwu saw Yao Meilan come in, he couldn't help but snorted coldly with some dissatisfaction.

In his opinion, if it weren't for Yao Meilan's affair, which forced Luo Huijuan to become Li Guoqiang's child bride, he wouldn't have to find ways to force Luo Huijuan to submit.

You know, in order to find a grandson-in-law for Luo Huijuan when she grows up and carry on the Luo family's bloodline, he has instilled in Luo Huijuan some traditional ideas such as the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, and the three greatest unfilial acts of not having a descendant.

He didn't expect that all this would actually help that brat Li Guoqiang.

No matter what he said, Luo Huijuan refused to agree to remarry, which almost made him angry to death.

Just as he was wondering whether he should have a good talk with Yao Meilan and ask her to help persuade Luo Huijuan, Luo Huijuan also noticed Yao Meilan and hurriedly shouted with a helpless look on her face.

"mom!"

"Xiaojuan, come out with me!"

When Yao Meilan saw her own daughter being forced into this state by Luo Jiwu, she instantly felt a surge of anger in her heart. Then she ignored Luo Jiwu and simply waved to Luo Huijuan and spoke.

"Ok!"

Luo Huijuan felt slightly relieved when she heard this, then she quickly got up and followed Yao Meilan out.

When Luo Jiwu saw this scene, his brows suddenly frowned and a look of surprise and doubt appeared on his face.

Logically speaking, after knowing that Li Guoqiang abandoned Luo Huijuan and married someone else, even if Yao Meilan did not stand on his side, she should not have such a big opinion about him.

Could it be that something unexpected happened?
Just when he was puzzled, Luo Huijuan followed Yao Meilan back to the next room, and was instantly frightened by Li Guoqiang's figure.

"Why are you here?"

Li Guoqiang was about to explain when he was suddenly attracted by Luo Huijuan's red eyes. He stood up and walked over, asking with a distressed look on his face, "Why are you crying like this?"
