Yan Fugui's old mouth was no longer harsh, and his face became quite ugly.
As the saying goes, hit a stick and give a sweet date. Comrade Li Ming then had to hang the carrot in front of the donkey's eyes, so as to suppress Yan Fugui. After all, he was seeking for himself.
Seeing this, Li Ming didn't stop him. He continued to raise his shoulders and said, "Third uncle, don't think that what I said is unpleasant. You can't deny that you really have this idea in your heart, right?"
After saying that, Li Ming saw Yan Fugui's old face turning slightly red again. He, Yan Fugui, had indeed had this intention and planned to scrape a layer of oil and water from the Li family and even Li Ming.
"I am not an unreasonable person. If from now on you don't make any small calculations against our Li family, I can help you collect some food for your Yan family."
"But I promised in advance that although I will receive some food, it will not be much, so do you understand what I mean?"
Yan Fugui was suppressed by a junior for the first time in so many years of life. However, the situation was stronger than the others and he could only nod in recognition. After all, in the front yard and even the entire courtyard, if anyone wanted to say which family had the widest access, it would definitely be the Li family.
If you want to say which family can live a more prosperous life in the year of disaster, it is definitely He Yuzhu of Zhongyuan. After all, it is not the cook who will starve to death in the year of disaster.
"Okay, I understand. I will collect grain from you at a price that is 10% higher than the market price."
Li Ming shook his head, "It's not necessary. I can give you the market price. As long as you tell me in advance, I can get it here."
"Besides, no matter what, we are neighbors in the same courtyard. If it is really difficult to get food in the future, it won't make sense for me to make a fortune from this."
Yan Fugui felt much better after hearing this, so he stood up and thanked Li Ming.
"Good boy, I appreciate your kindness. As for the food in our front yard, if any family is really in trouble, I will take the lead and help together. I won't let others keep an eye on your family."
"Okay, third uncle, just tell me if you need anything."
Li Ming lifted the tea cup on the table and took a sip, signaling to see off the guests.
Yan Fugui claimed to be a cultural person in the courtyard, so he naturally understood what he meant and left with a smile.
Father Li then looked at his son, his eyes full of relief, as if he was still a little shy. Before he could speak, Mother Li took Li Rui out of the small bedroom.
"As expected of my son, he handled it well."
"Hehe, you're honored."
The two of them were joking and seemed more warm and lively. My sister looked at her brother with admiration.
"Brother, you are the one!" My sister gave Li Ming a thumbs up.
Father Li picked up the herbal tea on the table and took a sip, "But will Yan Fugui be honest?"
Mother Li sneered when she heard this, "If he really dares to be tempted again, then our family is not made of mud."
After saying that, he glared at Father Li rather domineeringly.
"Yes, my wife is right!" Father Li immediately bowed down.
"Don't worry, I'm still a little sure about this. If he really dares to stretch out his claws, I'll chop him up."
"Look at our son. If you look at you again, you are still treating me as my father." Mother Li said directly and rudely.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for successful fishing. 】
[Successful fishing will reward you with the number of draws*1. In view of Yan Fugui’s loss of noodles, he will be rewarded with Big Black Ten*2 and a pair of chickens, which have been placed in the breeding space. 】
When Li Ming heard the voice in his head, he knew that he had succeeded in fishing this time, but he didn't get Yan Fugui too hard, so the reward was not very big, but the important thing was the number of draws.
Seeing this, Li Ming got up and went back to the house, ready to draw a prize.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going back to the house to sleep first. You guys should go to bed early."
Li Ming said the next sentence and went to the sink to wash the hands and rub his face before returning to the second bedroom.
. . . . . .
"System, lottery."
Thirty-six cards appeared directly on the light green light screen. Although Li Ming had seen them once, it still didn't stop him from having an old feeling in his heart.
"Okay, just flip one."
The card turned into green light and disappeared, replaced by a row of subtitles.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for winning 5 small yellow croakers. 】
"Emmmm, it seems that this time to deal with Yan Fugui is worth a lot of money."
"But it's not bad, keep it."
After Li Ming finished speaking, he stuffed the small yellow croaker he was playing with into the space again.
[Host]: Li Ming
[Possessed skills]: Pistol mastery (basic), fishing (minor achievement).
[Number of draws]: 0
[Physique Template]: Li Yuanba [Development Progress 11%]
[System Items]: Colt M1860 revolver*1, a box of 0.44-inch black powder bullets, small yellow croaker*5.
"My physical fitness has become stronger, which is pretty good. In the next three years, nothing will be as good as my own body."
After studying the system, Li Ming closed the light green light curtain with a wave of his hand and chose a comfortable position to prepare for sleep.
Yan family.
Today, Yan Fugui failed to get the benefits he imagined, but was given a favor by Li Ming. Fortunately, he gained a little bit, and more importantly, it was good that his relationship with the Li family did not deteriorate.
Thinking of this, Yan Fugui couldn't help but pat his head and murmured to himself, "Fortunately, I didn't conflict with the Li family as I thought before. Otherwise, based on their family's ability, I will definitely suffer in the future."
When the third aunt saw Yan Fugui coming back, she sat on the kang in a daze and muttered to herself, without bothering her for a while.
It wasn't until Yan Fugui spoke that he stepped forward and asked.
"Lao Yan, how about you go to Li's house to do something today?"
The third aunt naturally knew Yan Fugui's plan before going to the Li family, and she was somewhat anxious at the moment.
Yan Fugui smiled rather self-deprecatingly, "It didn't work out. Fortunately it didn't work out. Otherwise, the relationship between our family and the Li family would have been completely broken."
"If things go wrong in the future, it will be difficult for our family."
The third aunt sighed, "Then what if our family is short of food in the future?"
"Don't worry. Although it didn't work out, I have discussed it with the Li family. We can ask them to help collect some according to the market price."
"Market price?" The third aunt's voice was raised by three degrees. She didn't expect Yan Fugui to come back after talking about this.
Yan Fugui lit a cigarette for himself and told the third aunt what Li Ming said. The third aunt stayed where she was and kept muttering, "Is the eldest son of their Li family so cowardly now?"
"Okay, if we are really short of food, it would be nice to have this income. What's more, Li Ming is right, our family can't afford to offend their Li family."
"We can't afford to offend you in any way. We have to be more open-minded. If our children can be like the Li family, that's fine."
"Oh, I can't stand up to everyone in the family."
"Don't think so much. Go to sleep. You have to go to work tomorrow."
After Yan Fugui finished speaking, he quickly put out his cigarette and turned off the light, saving what he could.
