Next chapter
Liu Yu was in a good mood. He couldn't remember how much he drank. All the heroes in Jingkou raised their thumbs in front of him this time. This was better than in previous years when he simply relied on fists and kicks to overwhelm everyone. , which made him even more happy, drinking one bowl after another until he was so drunk that he couldn't even remember how he got home.
Several calls brought Liu Yu back to reality from his dream. He sat up suddenly. It was already bright. In the farmland outside, the songs sung by the villagers while farming floated into his ears.
The smiling faces of Xiao Wenshou and his two younger brothers were swaying in front of him. Liu Yu quickly turned from his seat to his knees and saluted his mother: "Mother, my child salutes you."
Xiao Wenshou smiled and helped Liu Yu up: "Da Lang, don't be like this. You have given our Jingkou some face, and you have also given our old Liu family a voice. Your father will be very happy."
Liu Daolian on the other side wiped his nose and said: "Yes, the folks from Shiliba Village sent a lot of things yesterday, saying thank you for fighting for us in this arena. Brother, now we will be here for half a year." Don’t worry about food and clothing.”
Liu Yu curled up his lips, feeling pleased with himself, but pretending not to care on his face. He looked at Liu Daogui and asked, "How did I come back yesterday?"
Liu Daogui smiled and said: "Liu Muzhi hired a car to transport you back. Brother, you are too heavy. That damn fat man can't carry it."
Liu Yu laughed: "That's true, how can he have such ability? However, it only costs hundreds of dollars in fares to get here from Jingkou Town. Where did he come from? Could it be..."
At this point, his expression changed and he hurriedly touched his arms. No matter what, he would never be willing to use the more than one hundred dollars from selling straw sandals to hire a car.
Xiao Wenshou smiled and shook his head, and took out a money bag from his arms: "Dalang, it was Linjiangxian's shopkeeper Gao who brought you back with the cart he purchased from their shop. It's free of charge! You, one hundred and fifty Mom has already saved six coins and will give it to you to get a wife in the future."
Liu Yu's heart suddenly returned to the ground, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The child has no future yet, and it is too early to marry a wife. First, serve your mother well, and then bring up Dao Lian and Dao Gui. Then think about getting a wife."
Xiao Wenshou frowned: "Da Lang, you are old enough and have reached the age of getting married. My mother didn't mention this matter before because you haven't done anything big yet to convince the people of Jingkou!"
"Mom, I'm afraid there won't be any good girls who are willing to get married to you, but things are different now. This time you have greatly boosted the ambitions of us Jingkou people, and three matchmakers have come to you to arrange this marriage for you. "
Liu Yu shook his head: "Mom, our family is still very poor. If I marry a wife, I'm afraid it will make you and your two brothers suffer. It's best to postpone this matter until I have some success and do some big things before I marry a wife." .”
Xiao Wenshou sighed: "Our Liu family is in decline. Your father passed away early and didn't leave many connections. Even if you pretend to be upright, you rely on your fists and kicks, not your connections."
"In today's world, rich and powerful people have been powerful for generations, while poor people have no chance to stand up. Are you still thinking about fighting for wealth?"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and was about to speak when a thin, elongated voice sounded from outside: "Excuse me, is Liu Li at home?"
Liu Yu's expression changed. He was already very familiar with this voice. He had heard it many times in the past few days. He jumped off the bed, wore single clothes, and rushed out of the door in three steps and two steps.
Outside the earthen wall and the firewood gate, I saw Diao Mao standing with his head bowed respectfully, followed by two or three servants, leading a donkey carrying two rice bags and a bunch of dried salted fish, chickens and ducks.
Liu Yu looked at Diao Mao and said in a deep voice, "How do you know about my family?"
Diao Mao said respectfully: "Liu Lizheng, you are a famous person in Jingkou. You are very famous. It is not difficult to find out where you live. Besides, where your home is is clearly stated in the household registration."
Liu Yu said coldly: "Then why did you come to my house today? Did Governor Diao ask you to come to me for revenge, or did you come to me to cause trouble?"
Diao Mao waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, no, Liu Lizheng, you misunderstood. Governor Diao was full of praise for you. He said that before coming to Jingkou, he didn't know the rules here, and he was a little offensive to the local people. It was him mistakes."
"Today, he specially sent a villain here to apologize to Liu Lizheng, and by the way, he offered these small gifts to express his feelings."
Diao Mao said, waving his hand, and several slaves behind him took down the bags of rice, dried fish, chickens and ducks from the donkey, and were about to walk into the Liu family's yard when they heard Liu Yu's cold voice. : "Wait a minute, Diaojiayuan, I can't accept these things."
Diao Mao's expression changed: "Liu Lizheng, please don't get me wrong. This is really a little thought from Governor Diao. It was you who taught him the rules of Jingkou in Jingkou, so this is just a little gratitude."
Liu Daolian said infatuatedly from behind: "Brother, if you have something delicious, just take it. Don't we take everything that others give us?"
Liu Yu's face darkened, and he turned back to Liu Daolian and said sternly: "What do you know? Don't interrupt when the elder brother is talking. Children, please don't interrupt." This time he spoke more harshly, and Liu Daolian was so scared that he quickly covered his mouth, not daring to Squeak again.
Liu Yu secretly thought, this Diao Kui is so arrogant that he taught him such a lesson yesterday, and today he sent Diao Mao over to give him gifts. Could it be that he wants to bribe him? But just relying on this little thing to win over him might not be too shabby, so what is his real intention?
Liu Yu made up his mind, no matter what, he would not accept this thing. Let's see what Diao Kui does next. He looked at Diao Mao and said sternly: "Diaojiayuan, please tell Diao Governor that he will not be rewarded for his merits. Liu Yuxin accepts your kindness, but I cannot accept this gift. Please forgive me."
Diao Mao sighed: "Liu Lizheng, my master said that if I can't deliver this thing to you, he will break my dog's legs. Can't you be considerate of the villain?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "That's your Diao family's business and has nothing to do with me. Diao Family Courtyard, I drank too much wine yesterday and I'm a little dizzy now. If there's nothing else, I'll leave it alone for now!"
He said, cupped his hands to Diao Mao, turned around and left. Diao Mao suddenly shouted from behind: "Liu Lizheng, wait a minute. If you don't want to accept these gifts today, that's fine. However, Governor Diao has some official business to convey to me. Please prepare yourself. Now go with me to the governor." Mansion, accept the governor's orders."
Liu Yu turned around, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "A mission? What mission?"
An intriguing light flashed in Diao Mao's eyes: "You will know as soon as Liu Lizheng leaves."
