13. Male Supporting Roles in Period Novels (13)
"Brother Qingen!!"
"It's Brother Qingen!!"
The children who had only dared to watch the car cautiously and didn't dare to get close to it suddenly became excited, like a flock of birds, chirping around the car.
"Brother Qingen, is this car yours?"
"It's so beautiful, can I get on and sit for a while?"
Duan Qingen has always been very popular among these children. After all, the adults are busy working these days and have no time to take care of these little guys. Duan Qingen, who is willing to talk to them and occasionally brings them candy, is compared to being quite amiable.
He didn't mind letting these children who might have seen a car for the first time since they grew up have some fun, so he simply took out the key, opened the door and got out, "If you want to play, go in and play for a while. Pat yourself before you get in, don't get dirty."
A group of children immediately jumped for joy and excitedly crowded in front of the door to line up to watch. Among the adults next to them, there was also the parents of one of these children. Seeing that his children were having fun and there was no displeasure on his face, Duan Qingen felt very comfortable and asked:
"Qingen, is this car yours?"
"Yes, I made some money in partnership with someone in the city before, so I bought a car."
He said this lightly, but everyone present knew how valuable a car was. The villagers who had thought that this car might be rented or borrowed were shocked.
This is a car. Even in the town, not many people can afford it.
Duan Qingen saw that after he finished speaking, the villagers were silent and no one spoke again. He didn't feel embarrassed. He directly pulled a fat woman and said, "Sixth Aunt, didn't you say yesterday that my uncle was not feeling well and wanted to send him to the city to see a doctor? It just so happens that I bought a car. I will send my uncle to the city this afternoon?"
Duan is a big surname in the village. Sixth Aunt is Duan Qingen's wife who should call Sixth Uncle. However, they have the same surname at most, and they are not real relatives, so they are not close on weekdays.
At this moment, when Duan Qingen said this, it was as if a pie in the sky fell on him, and he was overjoyed.
"Hey! Then I'll trouble you."
"I was worried yesterday. Your uncle can't get out of bed and can't get out of the wind. If we call a bullock cart, it will be windy on all sides. Even if I wrap him up tightly with a quilt, it won't work. Now I have this sedan. But Qingen, I don't want your money. I will give you all the money I should give you!!"
"Look at what you said. You have watched me grow up since I was a child. How can I ask you for money?" Duan Qingen said beautifully, "My mother told me recently that you have a good relationship with her and you have protected me a lot. Besides, I am going to the city tomorrow. Hongfeng is going to college soon. I plan to go with him. I have to deal with the business in the city. This is originally a side job. If I ask you for money, wouldn't it be heartless?"
The sixth aunt was moved at first, and then she was confused. In fact, she didn't have a very good relationship with Ye Cuixiang. They were just friends from the same village. They smiled and said a few words when they met. Not to mention that she has protected Duan Qingen since he was a child.
After a few seconds of confusion, she suddenly remembered that Li Bishuang had been talking about the Duan family like crazy during this period, saying that Li Hongfeng would go to college and ignore the Duan family, or that Duan Qingen was incapable of retaining college students.
This matter was originally just Li Bishuang's words, and she couldn't stand it. She also had to earn money from the Duan family by collecting fabrics, so she helped the Duan family explain a few words when she saw it.
Anyway, Li Bishuang and the Zhou family had a bad reputation for a long time, and she was not afraid of being hated for speaking out. It was just a casual thing, but she didn't expect that it would bring real benefits.
Aunt Six is usually a perceptive person. When she saw that she could get benefits from Duan Qingen by squeezing Li Bishuang, she immediately glanced at Li Bishuang and praised loudly: "Qingen, you are a promising person. You were smart and sensible when you were young, and you are even more amazing when you grow up. Look, you are only a few years old, and you can earn back a foreign car. Your family has one college student and one you. Sister Ye will wait for the happiness in the future."
When the villagers heard someone was praising, they all echoed.
"Yes, yes, you are really promising. If we tell others about it in the future, we will also be proud."
"I knew you were a good person when you were a child. Look, it's true..."
Countless compliments surrounded Duan Qingen. Li Bishuang, who stood there in a daze with an ugly face, seemed to be forgotten. No one looked at her expression, and no one asked her why she stopped saying those words before.
But it was precisely because of this that she felt a strong sense of humiliation.
She said that Duan Qingen couldn't make money and would be looked down upon by Li Hongfeng, but Duan Qingen made money the next time.
She said that Duan Qingen would never be able to buy this car in his lifetime, but he got out of the car and said it was his car.
Each incident was like an invisible slap on Li Bishuang's face. It didn't hurt much, but the most important thing was panic.
When the incident of the Duan family wearing a coat outside the clothes happened, Li Bishuang could still keep calm.
Li Hongfeng was completely different from her previous life. When she won the first place and the prize, she could still keep calm.
Zhou Jiaming's grades were almost on the line, and he was not as good as Li Bishuang remembered, she could still keep calm.
But now, why did Duan Qingen buy a car?
No one knew better than her how expensive the car was at this time. How could Duan Qingen afford it? Wasn't he not very capable and would only drag his family to suffer with him?
Li Bishuang's eyes went dark. She felt that since she had exchanged marriages with Li Hongfeng as she wished, the things that happened in her previous life and that she was sure would happen in this life would be completely different.
Duan Qingen became rich, but what about Jiaming?
Can Jiaming still make a fortune like in his previous life? Can she still wear gold and silver and live in a big villa as she always dreamed of?
Li Bishuang could no longer hold back. She was eager to know why this life would change, why the Duan family, which should have been bankrupt and penniless, was now living a prosperous life.
After the children reluctantly got off the car, Duan Qingen drove directly to his home. Li Bishuang looked at the villagers who were slowly dispersing after excitedly discussing "someone in our village actually bought a car", as if she suddenly woke up, and ran towards the Duan family like crazy.
Fortunately, she blocked the people.
Duan Qingen sat in the car, rolled down the window, and looked at her without any emotion: "What's the matter?"
Li Bishuang looked at the face in front of her. He was handsome and had a good-looking face. Whether in the previous life or this life, he was the first thing people saw when standing in the crowd.
She used to feel happy, but later she felt that it was useless to be good-looking. If you have no money, you can only do hard labor.
But now, Duan Qingen has changed.
Why on earth!
She asked with a trembling voice: "Last time, how did you think of wearing a coat over the skirt?"
"You mean this?" Duan Qingen raised his eyebrows, "Hongfeng saw someone wearing it like this at school and told me. I think this idea is good. This set of clothes can be worn out in warm and cold weather. There should be many people buying it, so I customized the coat."
Li Hongfeng! It was actually Li Hongfeng!
In her previous life, Li Hongfeng also married into the Zhou family during that period, but the Zhou family had a lot of things to do, and she was almost too busy to leave the house every day. In order to let her tutor her son, Zhou's mother didn't even let her go to school, so naturally she wouldn't think of helping her cousin's husband.
In this life, she is Duan Qingen's wife, and she is in school, so it's not surprising that she thought of this idea. Li Bishuang never thought that she pushed Li Hongfeng to the Duan family and actually helped them.
Li Bishuang gritted her teeth, "Then what's the matter with you buying a car?"
Duan Qingen didn't care about her strange attitude at all, shrugged: "Hongfeng is going to college, I want to send her, it's not convenient to take the train, I thought I would just buy a car to drive her, and then go to the city to find someone to make money together."
It was actually because of Li Hongfeng...
Li Bishuang trembled all over, feeling that she was so stupid, doing so much, but it turned out to be a wedding dress for Li Hongfeng.
She is not liked by her mother-in-law in Zhou's family, Jiaming doesn't pay much attention to her, and she has to endure Liu Beibei, that bitch, but Li Hongfeng is good. With just a few words, she can bring the Duan family back to life.
Li Bishuang is unwilling to accept this.
If she starts over again, the last thing she wants is to see Li Hongfeng live a better life than herself. Obviously, she has taken the lead and has taken everything away, why can Li Hongfeng still enjoy such a good life.
Even Duan Qingen, who she always thought in her previous life could only work but not make her happy, is willing to buy a car for Li Hongfeng.
Why? Why on earth? ?
Li Bishuang is going crazy, and a dark thought quietly occupies her mind.
Li Hongfeng can't live a good life so confidently, absolutely not!
Jiaming is indifferent to her, why should Duan Qingen cherish Li Hongfeng!
As she thought about it, she let the expression on her face become more pitiful, and softened her tone, saying to Duan Qingen in the car: "Qingen, I have always wanted to tell you that the reason for changing the marriage was not because of Grandpa, but because of Li Hongfeng. She saw that your family was rich and forced my parents to change her. She has been lying to you all along."
"Oh?" Duan Qingen showed a surprised expression at the right time: "Really? Isn't it because you want to go to the Zhou family?"
"Of course not!"
Li Bishuang tried hard to discredit her cousin: "You think, Zhou Jiaming's family is so poor, His mother doesn't like me, how can I be willing to marry him, we grew up together, and I have always liked you. "
"It's all Li Hongfeng, you were deceived by her!"
"Hmm..."
Duan Qingen nodded, Li Bishuang thought he believed it, and was happy, "You won't believe her, right? We grew up together!"
"You don't need to know whether I believe Hongfeng or not, but you can know that someone believes in you."
Seeing that she was confused after he finished speaking, Duan Qingen supported his chin with his hand and pointed behind her with his other hand.
Li Bishuang turned around subconsciously and met the angry eyes of Zhou's mother.
