Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 612 What a great fate

Li Weihong looked at the more and more vegetables in the bowl, and was so moved by the happiness of "Mom thinks you are thin" that she wanted to cry, but she couldn't bear to love her, and she couldn't finish the plate!

Besides, she is a girl. Even if she doesn’t want to get married, she still needs to control her weight. Now that she is so dark, she will definitely not be able to “cover up all her ugliness” in a short time, but she can’t “ruin everything once she is fat”!

"Mom, is the guard's wife about to give birth? I heard you mention it a few times some time ago?" Li Weihong quickly interrupted the old mother's endless love and asked something.

"Don't mention it, the baby was due yesterday. Your second aunt has been here for several days, waiting to hold her grandson!" Shen Yueying stopped picking up food for Li Weihong and said with some confusion.

Li Weibing's wife's due date is at the end of this month. As a mother-in-law, the second aunt naturally has to come in advance to prepare for the confinement. It would be too late to come over after the baby is born.

Second aunt Shen Yueying and Li Weidong, the two sisters-in-law had some grudges when they were young, but now the situation has become clear. One is willing to support and the other wants to carry forward the winner's style, so now the relationship between the two sisters is very good.

The second uncle and second aunt are both down-to-earth and realistic rural people, without so many twists and turns. Their children have to be taken care of by Li Weidong, and they are also grateful.

The second aunt came to Qizhou, and the respected eldest brother and sister-in-law were also in Qizhou. Due to circumstances and reasons, she had to pay a visit and inform the parents of the village about their family affairs, ranging from who is bringing in children to importing children, and all kinds of trivial matters.

Moreover, Shen Yueying had been away for some time, and when she went back occasionally, she would come back in a daze. She had no time to talk about daily life in the village. Now the news brought by her sister-in-law was very important, and she knew a lot about the situation in the village.

It's just that the conversation was short, there must be many things that haven't been reported to Shen Yueying, and she has to find time to talk again.

"Boy, have you checked?" Li Weihong asked doubtfully.

The slogan of this era was to only have one child, and there were so many people who wanted a boy, which gave birth to such an industry. With the energy of the Li family, it was easy to make sure in advance.

Shen Yueying was stunned for a moment. When did she say boy? It took her a while to realize what she was doing, and she said angrily: "I think you are stupid because of studying!"

Li Weidong also looked at Li Weihong like an idiot. He was just saying auspicious words to hold his grandson, and it did not mean that it was actually a boy. Although this statement has a strong patriarchal mentality, but to say that the unborn child is a daughter, It seems to be suspected of offending someone.

This is to study the law and dig out the legal provisions, and the words are so stupid that you can't even hear the words.

Li Weihong knew that he had made a mistake, so he said with a little embarrassment: "The second aunt is here, I will go over and take a look later!"

This is etiquette. Shen Yueying and Li Chengwen came to Qizhou, and Li Weiying and Li Weibing wanted to come over for a visit. Now that the second aunt has come to Qizhou, they should also go and visit.

If only Li Weidong was the only one, everyone would know that this was the big boss, the pillar of their family. She was usually busy, so it was okay not to go. Now that she, an idler, was back, she would definitely come to visit.

"Don't go now, we are staying in the hospital. The guard's wife complained that she had a stomachache in the middle of the night yesterday and is staying in the hospital!" Shen Yueying said with some disgust.

"People giving birth now are different from those we gave birth to in those days. Which of you gave birth in the hospital? When you gave birth to your brother, you had to break the stick during the day and give birth at night. Didn't they all have to have a full tail?"

Li Weihong heard this many times. She didn't know whether Shen Yueying wanted to prove that she was in good physical shape, or if she wanted to say that Li Weidong was extraordinary. He could only sigh, "My brother is so lucky!"

Hearing Li Weihong's words, Li Weidong just took a sip of high-strength liquor and couldn't help but choked. The hot liquor rushed from his throat to his nostrils, and it felt so sour and refreshing.

Li Weihong couldn't help laughing when she saw her brother's look, and even Shen Yueying laughed angrily.

Shen Yueying knocked on Li Weihong and said with a smile: "You talk a lot. Eat quickly and lie down for a while after eating. It's tiring to take a car all the way!"

Shen Yueying uses herself to save others. She doesn't like to ride in a car, so she naturally finds it tiring for others to ride in a car.

Li Weihong nodded and said: "Not to mention, I have been to so many places and traveled so much in the past month and a half, but I really don't feel tired at all. I am almost home, but I can't hold myself any longer!"

"As long as you know, don't run out if you have nothing to do!" Shen Yueying said without forgetting his instructions.

Li Weihong glanced at his mother, then at his eldest brother and his father who was drinking. Only a few of the children seemed to be thinking about Li Weihong's gift.

After dinner, Li Weihong opened the suitcase he brought back and distributed gifts to several children. Li Weihong went to many places and brought many gifts to them, several for each person, which made the children very happy. The most reliable one has to be my aunt.

Except for a few juniors, the parents cannot be left out. This is the most important thing, but the motivation seems a bit impure, and it is somewhat suspected of bribery of the parents.

Seeing the happy old couple grinning from ear to ear, Li Weihong felt that this trick was quite effective. If he had known this, he would have taken it out before eating anyway.

What kept Li Weidong from Xiangdong was his gift, but this gift made him dumbfounded and made the old lady almost glare with anger. She almost forgot that she had just received a gift from someone else, so she had to save face.

Li Weihong handed a bunch of Buddhist beads wrapped in red silk to Li Weidong and said: "Brother, I begged this from a master on Mount Wutai. I thought about it when I saw you reading Buddhist scriptures some time ago. If you wear this rosary, it will be even more charming, and maybe a Buddhist master will emerge!"

After Li Weidong came back from the United States some time ago, he did read several Buddhist classics under the influence of the old foreign monk, with the intention of diverting his anxiety, but it later proved that this was not very effective.

I originally thought that my understanding was too superficial. After all, he had seen those Buddhist verses in his daily life. They were very consistent with Chinese traditional culture and could not see anything new.

For this reason, he also found a great monk who was said to have high attainments in Buddhism to give him lectures, but the results were not satisfactory, and later he left it alone. Those Buddhist scriptures were also shelved, but Li Weihong never expected to remember them in his heart.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Yueying quit. How can such an outstanding son read Buddhist scriptures, recite Buddhist beads, and become a Buddhist master when he has a family?

Li Weidong didn't speak, just looked at this string of rosary beads. Although Li Weidong didn't know much about mahogany, he wasn't completely an idiot.

Moreover, many of the furniture and ornaments in his home are made of mahogany, and some are made of rosewood, so naturally he is no stranger to this.

Looking at the appearance of this rosary, if it is not an honest imitation made by someone else, it is probably made of red sandalwood, and it seems to be quite old. Venus is very bright, and the color of the beads has turned black. It is said that this is because it has been hung for too long. , is it just that red sandalwood is such a popular product? It’s not that ten of ten sandalwoods are fake. I’m afraid if you meet an expert, you’ll be cheated, right?

"Bought it in Mount Wutai?" Li Weidong looked at it carefully and asked Li Weihong.

Li Weihong curled her lips and said: "Buddhists say that money is too vulgar. This is a blessing. After being blessed by a master, it can concentrate and calm the mind, eliminate worries, and the most important thing is that it can ward off evil spirits and ensure peace!"

When Shen Yueying heard what Li Weihong said, she felt relieved and secretly wondered why she hadn't thought of this. Her son was so good now and his business was so big, so it was hard to avoid being a villain.

My daughter was thoughtful enough to give me a rosary to keep me safe, so that I can carry it with me in the future to keep me safe.

"How much did it cost?" Li Weidong asked in a different way.

Li Weihong glanced at Shen Yueying again and said in a low voice: "Eight thousand and eight, the master said that these are small-leaf red sandalwood. In ancient times, they could only be used by the emperor's family. It was taboo for ordinary people to use them. Moreover, the master said that these beads were used by him. After more than 40 years of use, it has been infected with Buddhism!"

Li Weidong shook his head after hearing this. It's not that the price is expensive. If it was really so old, the price would be cheap. It just feels a bit deceptive.

Little leaf rosewood is so easy to come across. If you do, Li Weihong can get it. It's like a lucky break. It's like setting up a trap and waiting for others to jump on it.

So he whispered to his sister: "You'd better stop being a lawyer and stay at home with peace of mind!"

Li Weihong asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with me being a lawyer?"

Li Weidong played with the string of Buddhist beads and said disdainfully: "In a lawsuit, especially a civil lawsuit, there is no truth in the mouths of the plaintiff and the defendant. You are so easy to fool, you may not be able to get yourself into it." !”

"Who are you looking down on!" Li Weihong muttered in a low voice. In fact, she regretted it when she came down from Wutai Mountain. However, the price was not expensive, and the purchase and sale were the true expressions of both parties' intentions. She could not save her face and go back to find it.

Now that Li Weidong said this, I felt even more guilty. I looked at the rosary in Li Weidong's hand and asked, "Fake?"

"I can't say for sure!" If you don't have basic skills with this kind of thing, you may not be able to tell it apart. Besides, he doesn't need to distinguish it. His sister bought it for him, and he wore it for good luck. It looks pretty good. of!

Whether this thing is authentic or not depends on who is wearing it. It is made of plastic and not ordinary plastic when it is placed on Li Weidong. And if Li Weidong wears it for a few days, someone will probably send him the real thing.

Li Weidong twisted his Buddhist beads and left from the side walkway. He also wanted to go to the backyard to sleep for a while. Reading Buddhist scriptures was not as good as running five kilometers in the morning and catching up on his sleep at noon. He was more energetic these days.

As soon as I arrived at the backyard, I saw Di Ding Yuan standing at the corner door of the backyard, looking like he had something to tell him. It was probably about Li Weihong's outing this time.

Li Weidong nodded, walked to the wicker chair under the tree in the middle of the yard and sat down. Ding Yuan followed Li Weidong and stood next to the wicker chair.

"Chairman, I asked Xiao Peng carefully just now. Apart from some minor accidents, there was nothing wrong with Teacher Li during this trip!"

"Accident, what accident?" Li Weidong paused while twisting the beads in his hand, and asked in a somewhat questioning and stern tone.

"People who ask for tolls when they are blocked on the road, people who are ripped off when eating, and people who give less fuel when refueling and raise prices arbitrarily are all things that cannot be put on the table!"

Li Weidong heard what Ding Yuan said, although this kind of thing cannot be brought to the table, there are quite a lot of it in this era.

We rely on the mountains to eat, the sea to eat the sea, and the national and provincial highways to eat the passers-by. If we pass through our village, it’s not too much to pay a toll, right?

You can’t get the chicken, duck, fish, meat, vegetables and fruits that are grown in our land and water here, right? You can’t eat them elsewhere. These are rare items, determined by supply and demand. What’s wrong with charging a few more dollars?
