Chapter 489: The Price
In life, many things often don't go in the direction you expected. Foreman Li is such an unlucky guy.
Maybe he just wanted to lead the workers, earn some money, and live a happy petty bourgeois life with his family, but the reality slapped him hard. This slap was neither serious nor severe, and it just killed him.
Li Xiao is not a god. Facing the way of Foreman Li's death, he is helpless. The only thing he can do is to let the living people live a good life as much as possible, and let them live with hope.
It took a full day for Li Xiao to bring the three ordinary people with him back to Ningxiang Village, and when they were more emotionally stable, he quietly handed Foreman Li's body to them from Xiaotiandi.
Seeing Foreman Li's dried-up corpse, even the old woman cried this time, and she fainted from crying. When she woke up, Li Xiao and the middle-aged woman had invited the Taoist priest to carry out the funeral , preparing to hold a funeral for Foreman Li.
Externally, Li Xiao claimed that Foreman Li died in an accident. His wife and mother naturally had no objection to this point. After all, the less people know about being imprisoned, the better.
In the next three days, Li Xiao, Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang personally organized the funeral. All the buildings in Ning Village were closed for three days, and migrant workers and foremen came to participate.
Although Foreman Li has passed away, his name remains in everyone's minds.
Three days later, Li Xiao was not idle, and personally helped Foreman Li's family members go back and forth in Xiapu County several times, helped them handle insurance matters, and also helped them move their household registration to Ningxiang Village.
Of course, these things are not difficult for Li Xiao nowadays. The household registration can be settled in one day, and the compensation can be obtained in a week.
Including the money and compensation that Foreman Li earned over the years, it was nearly 8 million yuan, and Li Xiao handed over the money to their family members intact.
This can also be regarded as Li Xiao's kindness in order to repay Foreman Li for blocking the crutches of the old lady in Dongying.
Li Xiao's dedication to help naturally made Foreman Li's family feel the warmth of home. Apart from Li Xiao, even the villagers and migrant workers in Ning Village also cared for them very much.
No one cares about the money in their hands. Many times, there are some things that money can't buy.
In the eyes of Foreman Li's family, Li Xiao naturally became a benefactor.
After a week of busy work, Li Xiao finally settled their family thoroughly. As for their spiritual trauma, it is beyond Li Xiao's power, only time can dilute it.
"Brother Xiao, the temple built for you by the people in the village is almost finished. What do you think is a better name?"
On this day, it was rare for Li Xiao to gather under a relatively secluded and hidden tree at the head of Ningxiang village with the Zhang family brothers, and Wang Surplus and Lin Sheng. Looking at Li Xiao who had been in a daze, Da Zhuang talked about the temple things.
"What do you know? It was built by migrant workers spontaneously. Of course the name is taken by migrant workers." Wang Sheng was wearing shorts, sitting on the ground carelessly, and just hung up a call before retorting to Da Zhuang, "I said you can't be quiet like your brother , didn’t you see Brother Xiao was thinking about something?”
"I don't, it's none of my business, you son of a bitch, do you want to fight?"
"Hit it, I'm afraid you won't succeed."
"Come on, try to move me."
"Try to move me."
"It's okay, you two don't argue." Xiao Zhuang played with a leaf in his hand, walked to Li Xiao who was leaning against the tree on a brick on the ground, and shook his hand in front of him.
no response.
"Brother Xiao has been in a daze for an hour, what do you think he is thinking?" Xiao Zhuang frowned and said, "There won't be anything going on in our village recently, right?"
"It should be all right." On the branch of the tree, Lin Sheng rested his head on his pillow, got a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth from nowhere, and said vaguely, "Yesterday, the village chief and Jia Jun, and you don't know what to do." Have you all gone to open the village committee? Except for Brother Xiao’s house, there are people who give gifts to see him every day. Reward."
"I said, Boss Wang, this time you are considered unintentional, and you deserve praise." Lin Sheng gave him a thumbs up.
"That's right." Hearing Lin Sheng call him the boss, Wang Sheng raised his head proudly, but still said a little modestly, "Lin Sheng, we are all brothers of our own family. Whether you are boss or not, you can call me by my full name from now on." .”
"Okay, by the way, I heard that Uncle Zhou is dating a widow from the next village, and they are going to get married in a few days. Is it true?"
"Of course it's true. Zhou Bo's old stuff is different now. Of course there are women posting it." Wang Sheng said, "He won't be able to help with the fights in the future, but I'm a little strange. Why did he suddenly fall in love with women?"
Da Zhuang blurted out: "Could it be that he didn't like men before, and you two are together every day, so there should be nothing wrong?"
"I rely on it!"
Lin Sheng and Xiao Zhuang looked at Wang Left with unison.
"What are you thinking!" Wang Sheng yelled, "He told me before that he would not get married for the time being, and that he didn't believe in women."
"You don't know, right? At his age, he should have a daughter-in-law, An Sheng, to spend the rest of his life." Xiao Zhuang cast another glance at Li Xiao who was in a daze, and said, "The widow was introduced by Brother Xiao. That's what Brother Xiao meant."
Only then did everyone realize that they knew Zhou Bo's past to some extent, and if Li Xiao came forward, of course he would not refuse.
"Not bad."
At this moment, Li Xiao, who was dazed, finally nodded, and said two good things in his mouth.
"Look, I really know Brother Xiao better." Xiao Zhuang said proudly.
"Ah?! What do you know about me?" Li Xiao turned his eyes away from Huang Rong who was washing clothes by the stream with a puzzled face, and asked suspiciously, "What are you talking about?"
Everyone: ...
"Brother Xiao, you've been in a daze for an hour, what on earth are you thinking?" Lin Sheng picked a leaf from the tree and dropped it, and it floated past Li Xiao's eyes.
"Cough!" Li Xiao rarely blushed slightly, and coughed lightly, "It's nothing, it's nothing, where have you been talking?"
When he said this, he couldn't help but think of Huang Rong who he had watched for an hour just now.
The woman was washing clothes by the creek, and he happened to be in a position where he could see it. I don't know if Huang Rong did it on purpose. When she was washing clothes, her buttocks would be poked high at Li Xiao for a while, and her chest would be extremely low for Li Xiao at the next moment. ...
From time to time, he deliberately threw eyebrows at Li Xiao, which caused ripples in Li Xiao's heart from a distance.
This young woman raised Li Xiao's flames, and he had made up his mind to make her pay the price.
