Chapter 250 Meeting Lanlan Again
"You are kindhearted. Can you write the word liar on a liar's face? Don't give them money. Just give them something to eat. It's you, the master. If it were anyone else, just ignore them."
Zhao Lanlan gently shook the old man's arm, looking very coquettish.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Zhao Lanlan is the old man's new favorite, so it is impossible for him to make her unhappy because of such a small matter.
"Master, you love me the most." Zhao Lanlan laughed heartily as her evil plan succeeded, not for any other reason but simply because she couldn't stand their family.
After hearing the order, the coachman got off the carriage and walked to the back, where he took out a box of snacks and a bag of biscuits.
"Boy, our master is kind enough to give you this reward. Take it and eat it." The driver handed the food to Li Xiaobao.
Seeing the food, Li Xiaobao's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that the people on the carriage were willing to give them food. He stretched out his hands to take it, and kowtowed to the carriage again and again: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."
Li Dajiang did not expect that the people in the carriage were so easy to talk to. Because they were at some distance, Li Dajiang vaguely heard the voices of a man and a woman in the carriage. Their carriage was not an ordinary carriage, but much larger than an ordinary carriage.
There may be two people in the carriage in front, and there is no sound in the back, so it is estimated that there is no one. Their family should be able to squeeze into one carriage, but I don’t know if they will be allowed to ride for a while.
He was now sitting on the side of the road, unable to move easily. He called Li Chengcai in a low voice and whispered a few words in his ear. Li Chengcai nodded and walked over.
Li Chengcai came to the carriage and bowed to it: "Thank you for the reward, sir. My family is very grateful. To be honest, we were rushing from the capital to Jiunu County. The day before yesterday, we encountered robbers who robbed all our money and injured my family."
"Now my grandmother is paralyzed, my father has a limp in one leg, my fourth uncle is seriously injured and can't speak, my fourth aunt has a high fever and is unconscious, my little niece also has a fever, and my grandfather has injured his waist. I know you are a kind person, can you help us again? We won't ask you for money."
"The robbers stole the carriage. My family has been here for a day and a night. We are hungry and cold. I hope you can lend us your carriage to take us to the next town. I kowtow to you here." After saying that, Li Chengcai kowtowed to the carriage several times.
There was silence in the carriage for a long time. The old man did not expect that the family outside had encountered such a difficult situation. He lifted the door curtain and looked outside. Sure enough, he saw the family sitting or lying on the side of the road.
From their clothes and expressions, I could tell that they must have suffered a great crime. I couldn't help but feel sympathy for them and wanted to help them.
When the old man was young, he was also born in a farming family. He had been hungry and cold since childhood. Later, by chance, he made a fortune in business and lived his current life.
Seeing them was like seeing my younger self. Just as I was about to say yes, Zhao Lanlan next to me tugged at my sleeve.
"Master, I think they don't look like good people and I'm scared." Zhao Lanlan pretended to be scared to stop the old man from helping them.
The old man saw that his new favorite was afraid, and his heart was shaken again. It was already evening, and he had no entourage or guards with him. If the people outside really had other intentions.
They might not be able to handle it with just a few people, but looking at Li Chengcai and his group, they are really pitiful. The weather is still very cold at night, and there is not even a place to shelter from the wind and rain here.
But if he puts himself in danger just to help others, it would not be worth it. Besides, he is so old now, so it is better to be careful in everything.
Thinking of this, he coughed lightly and said, "I am here with my family to have fun. It would be inconvenient if I bring you along. How about this? I will give you two quilts. It will be dark soon. You can use them to keep warm."
Originally, he thought the old man would agree to give them a ride, but he didn't expect that he would just give them two quilts. Li Chengcai was a little disappointed at the moment, but he didn't show it.
"Thank you very much, sir." Although he couldn't take them to the next town, with these two quilts, tonight shouldn't be too difficult.
The carriage continued to move forward with a clatter. When it passed Old Man Li, voices were heard from inside the carriage. Old Man Li's originally listless expression suddenly perked up, and he looked towards the carriage in disbelief.
He heard the voice just now clearly. It was Zhao Lanlan's voice. He thought he would never see Zhao Lanlan again in this life, but he didn't expect to meet her here. But it was obvious that she didn't want to meet them.
Until the carriage was no longer visible, Old Man Li stared at that direction in a daze for a long time. Although he didn't say anything just now, he could hear that there was an old man in the carriage.
Judging from the sound of the man, he might even be older than him. That must be the new man Zhao Lanlan has found. Only a rich man like him can support her.
It took a long time for Old Man Li to retract his gaze. The snacks that Li Xiaobao got from the old man were shared by the whole family, leaving only a very small piece for Old Man Li.
It was already completely dark, and the old man gave them a fire so that they could keep warm at night.
Old man Li did not tell anyone that Zhao Lanlan was in the carriage. The entire Li family disliked Zhao Lanlan, so why should he make them unhappy?
With the fire starter, they quickly started a fire and it was indeed much warmer. The Li family put the pancakes on wooden sticks and roasted them over the fire. There was just enough for one for each person. When it was Old Man Li's turn, Li Chengcai only broke off half for him.
"Give me the other half, too." Old man Li had been feeling aggrieved all day, no one paid any attention to him, he had walked such a long way and had nothing to eat, he was already starving, he finally got a pancake to eat, but they deducted half of it from him, he was not willing to do that.
"We worked hard to get this, so giving you half of it is already good enough. You have money, so go buy it yourself. If you think it's too little, don't take it." Li Chengcai still feels aggrieved about the thirty-one taels of silver. He hasn't even married yet, and Li Dajiang is disabled because he has a lame leg and cannot earn money.
Which good girl would be willing to come to his house? The culprit of all this is old man Li. How can he not hate him? If Li Dajiang hadn't stopped him, he would have taken action against him long ago, and he would not have been allowed to stand here.
"I am your biological grandfather. You are so unfilial. If you don't give me food, I will sue you to the government." Old man Li didn't expect that Li Chengcai would dare to treat him like this. He shouted in anger.
"Dad, at this point, you still don't know how to restrain yourself. Be careful or you won't survive the night." Suddenly, Li Dajiang's sinister voice rang out.
