Chapter 10

c "Mom! I'm back," Li Jing took me to her house like a puppy.

Although Li Jing's mother is only in her forties, her hair is much whiter and she has many wrinkles on her forehead. She looks like she has experienced many vicissitudes of life.

"Xiao Jing...Who is this? Is it your classmate?"

"No, Mom," Li Jing grabbed my arm and said, "Mom, the kid I just caught on the edge of the moat looks sneaky and he is not a good person. I suspect he is electro-fishing."

"Electric fish?" Li Jing's mother asked me doubtfully: "Young man, are you an electric fish person?"

I quickly explained that this was all a misunderstanding and that I was not an electric fish person at all.

Li Jing's mother looked at me kindly, shook her head and said with a smile: "My little classmate, you don't look like an electric fish, Xiao Jing, you made a mistake this time, you girl even arrested someone, Apologize quickly."

I later figured out the situation and understood why Li Jing wanted to catch electric fish.

This is because the Shunde Forestry Bureau offered a reward. At that time, the water ecology of the Yangtze River was severely damaged, and the Chinese sturgeon and Yangtze white-tip dolphin were on the verge of extinction. The superiors were determined to protect the inland water environment, and this wave of actions also affected Shunde.

Anyone who catches an electric fish fryer can go to the Forestry Bureau to receive a reward. If you catch someone, you will be rewarded with a heavy reward of 500 yuan!

That’s why the girl Li Jing held on to me. He thought I was an electric fisher and wanted to send me to the Forestry Bureau in exchange for reward money. . . . . .

Because her family is short of money.

Under her mother's compulsion, Li Jing reluctantly apologized to me. She said, "Classmate, I'm sorry."

Mother Li was very hospitable. To express her apology, she asked me to stay together for lunch.

It was almost two o'clock now, and I happened to be very hungry, so I agreed.

For the rice for lunch, Mother Li prepared three dishes, a scrambled egg with leeks, a zucchini and beans, and a salad of lotus root slices. The home-cooked side dishes were authentic and delicious.

Li Jing looked at me coldly as I picked up the bowl of stew and ate it. She would hit the porcelain bowl hard with her chopsticks from time to time, deliberately making a lot of noise, which made Mother Li frown frequently.

She disliked me for eating her eggs.

Mother Li scolded her: "Xiao Jing, why are you so ignorant of the rules? How did this little classmate offend you?"

Li Jing bit the tip of her chopsticks and curled her lips and said, "You didn't offend me, but I just don't like this guy."

I was also angry at that time.

Although I was not born as humble as my parents, and my family was in a state of poverty and no one cared about me, but one thing is that I have a strong self-esteem.

I put down the bowl and chopsticks at that time, stood up and said goodbye to Mother Li.

"You girl, who cares about eating your eggs?" I thought angrily.

As a result, as soon as I reached the door, I was pushed back by a large group of people.

There were six or seven people, all young adults in their twenties and thirties. They were carrying paint buckets, and some were carrying sticks.

"Where is Li Dequan? Li Dequan, get out!"

"If you don't come out, I'll beat your wife and children to death!"
