Next, let’s talk about the follow-up of Li Shangfu’s family.
Although Li Shangfu repeatedly ordered not to allow his family to trouble Meng Qingxiao, his wife still found Meng Qingxiao secretly.
She first thanked Meng Qingxiao for cultivating Li Yongle. In the end, Li Yongle did not enter the school. Both mother and son believed that Li Yongle was not qualified to be an official, so he gave up being an official and wanted to do some business.
When Meng Qingxiao asked her what she needed, she said she lacked start-up capital and wanted to borrow 100,000 yuan.
Meng Qingxiao asked her to leave her card number, and then asked Lu Caishi to transfer 300,000 to her. In the end, the 300,000 was given away.
But only half a year later, his step-aunt came to the door again and said that he was in urgent need of capital turnover and wanted to borrow another 200,000.
Meng Qingxiao said nothing and asked Lu Caishi to transfer another 300,000 yuan to her.
The third time took a little longer, a year and a half later. This time, mother and son bypassed Meng Qingxiao and found Lu Caishi, saying they wanted to borrow another 300,000.
Lu Caishi is not a fool, on the contrary she is very smart, but she still transferred it, and this time she transferred 400,000 directly.
Money was just a number to her, but she hoped that the mother and son would not disturb the couple again in the future. No matter how much Meng Qingxiao owed his cousin, the 1 million should be paid off.
Did Li Shangfu know that his wife and son were asking Meng Qingxiao for money behind his back?
Unless his eyesight has dimmed and he has become confused, it is impossible not to know.
He knew, but he just sighed. Why didn't he want his son to have a brighter future?
So he kept pretending not to know.
But the third time he couldn't bear it anymore, because he found out that his son didn't use the money to do business at all, he used it to gamble, lost all 1 million and owed a lot of debt.
Li Shangfu asked his wife if she knew about this. She said that she only found out about it later, but by then it was too late. Their son had already owed a lot of debt, and she could not ignore it.
Li Yongle is also a very smart person, but unfortunately his smartness is useless. How did he deceive his parents?
He dedicated 100,000 yuan to rent an office, opened an online store, and hired an operator and customer service staff. Then he lied to his parents that he was running an online store, and all his money was used to stock up on goods.
In fact, the operations and customer service staff he hired were only part-time. Their real jobs were next door, and they would only come over temporarily to sit down when his parents came to see him.
They were not afraid of his parents coming over. Even if there was no one here when the two old men came, they had reason to say that they had gone next door to get Buddhist scriptures.
Li Shangfu felt remorseful. He hated why he didn't stop him when he first found out, and why he allowed his wife to borrow money.
He kicked his wife and son out of the house and vowed never to recognize his son again.
Li Shangfu felt deeply that he was old and exhausted, so he sold his car repair shop (his car repair shop was his home) for 1.58 million, and then stuffed 1.08 million of the money into an envelope and mailed it to Lu Caishi's unit.
At this time, Meng Qingxiao was no longer at home. When Lu Caishi came to Li's house alone to look for someone, he discovered that Li Shangfu's car repair shop had changed owners. All three members of the Li family were missing. Even his neighbors who asked him said they had no whereabouts.
Lu Caishi had no choice but to ask Xu Haocun for help. Xu Haocun hired an agent to investigate the matter. In the end, it was found out that Li Yongle had fled to another world to avoid his creditors.
Li Yongle's mother returned to her natal family, but because of Li Yongle's relationship, her natal family didn't want to see her. They found a cleaning job for her and are currently working alone in the city.
Li Shangfu didn't go to enjoy the blessing. He donated all the 500,000 yuan and moved into a nursing home.
Lu Caishi deeply blamed herself. She felt that she had a great responsibility for this matter. If she had not encouraged Meng Qingxiao to visit Li Shangfu, and if she had not taken it upon herself to give the 300,000 to the Li family, perhaps none of this would have happened.
Sometimes you just use money to help people. Although you are doing a good thing, you may not get good results.
Meng Qingxiao was also careless. If Li Yongle had borrowed the money at that time, he would not have given the money easily and would have done an investigation in advance. But it was Li Yongle's mother who borrowed the money, and he really wanted to give the Li family some money. I wanted some funding, so I agreed.
Lu Caishi decided that she would still give him a hand, but this time she would not make things worse.
Under Xu Haocun's actions and the information he provided, the Qianghan police destroyed the gambling den, and all the people involved, including the loan sharks, were arrested and brought to justice.
At the same time, Li Yongle was also found. He was a bad element in society. It would definitely not work if he was allowed to hang around outside. Xu Haocun threw him into the army.
Lu Caishi went to find Li Shangfu in person. She told Li Yongle's story in general, hoping to take the old man out and reunite his family.
Li Shangfu refused, and he said something that moved Lu Caishi very much.
"My child, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm tired and don't want to go anywhere... I've been thinking recently, what on earth am I doing after I've been busy all my life?"
"Actually, my heart has died since the day A Xiao's aunt passed away. I have only loved one woman in my life, and that was A Xiao's aunt. But my parents were still alive at that time, and I couldn't let her go. ."
"When I later married this wife, I just fulfilled my obligation to our family, but I was never happy."
"Li Yongle is not my biological son, he was born to some wild man."
"That woman was very romantic when she was young and often found men behind my back. She thought I didn't know and I was just too lazy to talk to her because I didn't love her either. If being around women outside could make her If she is happy, it can be considered as compensation for her."
"So you don't have to blame yourself. Our family was not broken up because of you. Even if this incident hadn't happened, our family would have broken up, but sooner or later."
"I had planned it from the beginning. Not a penny of my inheritance would be left to Li Yongle. The only thing he could get from me was my craft. This is what he has called me dad for more than ten years. Make amends.”
"I originally wanted to leave the car repair shop to A Xiao, so that after a hundred years, he would inherit everything from me."
"However, things are amazing in the world. His development is beyond my expectation. Now he naturally doesn't need anything from me, so I donated all my property to the remote mountainous area."
"You should take the money back. It's useless for me to ask for money. If I needed money, I wouldn't donate the 500,000 yuan."
Lu Caishi didn't look for Li Yongle's mother again. Let that poor woman fend for herself.
Later, when Meng Qingxiao came back, Lu Caishi told him the whole thing. Lu Caishi cried like a tearful person. She always blamed herself.
Meng Qingxiao continued to comfort her, and then responded to her with the warmest love, until Lu Caishi was so tired that she couldn't even open her eyelids and fell asleep in Meng Qingxiao's arms.
After that, the couple would often visit Li Shangfu and have a conversation with him, basically two or three times a month, sometimes together, sometimes with Meng Qingxiao or Lu Caishi himself.
Li Shangfu said frankly that he was very happy in his later years. Although he lived in a nursing home, even if he really had a son, his son would not be able to visit him so frequently.
Li Yongle was also well trained. After he came out of the army, he found a job repairing cars. He rented a house outside and took his mother back to live with him.
He never knew who his biological father was, because even her mother didn't know. The old lady had too much fun when she was young. All her sexual partners she met were found online, and she could find five or six men at a time. It's a common thing.
Li Yongle also often visits Li Shangfu and cannot find his biological father. He insists that Li Shangfu is his father because it was Li Shangfu who raised him. He also wants to take Li Shangfu home to reunite with his mother and family, but Rejected by Li Shangfu.
Li Yongle's mother has never been here before. As for whether she doesn't want to see Li Shangfu because she's angry, or she doesn't dare to see Li Shangfu because she's ashamed, it's not something outsiders can guess. Maybe it's both. .
Li Shangfu died without illness at the age of 89, with a smile on his face when he died.
He left a suicide note with only two lines: Scatter ashes into the sea, no grave, no monument.
Let us return to the family visit trip of Meng Qingxiao and his wife.
After the couple left Li's house, they returned to their old house, where there were three class reunions waiting for them.
Now that Meng Qingxiao's identity is different, many people are naturally rushing to curry favor with him, so every time they get together, the couple become the well-deserved protagonists.
Many people either spoke directly or hinted at asking him for help. Meng Qingxiao knew that he could not escape this hurdle, so he was very single and announced to everyone in public:
"The ancients said that when one person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. We are all classmates. I am willing to help each of you if you have difficulties, but I will say something ugly first."
"First, there is no need to talk about borrowing money. I am a pauper and I have no money to lend you."
"Don't believe it. I disappeared for so many years. I believe you all know that I didn't go to make money. I was exiled to an alien prison by some alien bastard. I can come back alive. Thank God for everything.”
"Second, well, there is no second. What I want to say is that if you need connections or trust relationships, then congratulations, just come to me. I don't mind helping you go through the back door, but in the final analysis, you need to be willing to work hard. You have the ability, but if the virtue is not matched, even if you go up, you will be pulled down sooner or later."
"Finally, please help me not to give you gifts, not even a lollipop. This is a matter of principle. It goes against my principles. I will never help you again in the future."
Someone joked: "You refuse to accept any gifts, how can people be so embarrassed to ask you for help?"
Meng Qingxiao also smiled: "I'm sorry, that's fine, it saves me trouble."
Afterwards, as expected, a large number of students asked Meng Qingxiao for help, and 80% of them wanted him to arrange a good school for their children.
This is a surreal question. As a parent, who doesn’t want their children to get better and better?
Meng Qingxiao really agreed to them all. Although he didn't even know the names of those schools, these things really didn't matter to him.
In his opinion, no matter how expensive the school is, admitting a few more students will not cause much harm. At most, it will affect the enrollment rate. However, Meng Qingxiao is willing to compensate them in other ways, such as going to their school. A public speech.
