Chapter 327: Regret

At noon, everyone ate in the restaurant in the market town.

In addition to Li Dong and his group, they also met another group of people surnamed Li from Chenjiawan on the way.

People surnamed Li in Chenjiawan are all ancestors. Although the two groups have already produced five clothes, they are also related to each other. When they meet, they naturally gather together for dinner.

The two groups sat down after opening three tables.

During the meal, Li Dong shirked that he had something to do in the afternoon and didn't drink much. Naturally, it was not easy for others to persuade him to drink when he saw this.

This guy Li Nanming drank a lot, probably because he saw Li Dong being flattered and forgotten by others, this guy was unhappy, and at the end of the meal, he drank a little and couldn't stand still.

Li Dong called Li Chengyuan on the pretext of going to the toilet halfway.

After briefly explaining the matter, Li Chengyuan probably knew about it before, so he briefly said a few words to Li Dong.

First, the ancestral graves can be repaired. After all, Li Dong is now promising, and the Li family has this capital.

However, Li Chengyuan also warned Li Dong, don't just do what Li's family says, don't make too much publicity, and be careful.

Second, Li Dong can pay the money, but Li Dong should not get involved in the matter.

The money was handed over to a few senior members of the Li family to take care of it. No matter how repaired they were, neither Li Chengyuan nor Li Dong would show up.

Thirdly, Li Dong should not be involved in the compilation of the genealogy. However, the Li family is planning to build an ancestral hall. Li Dong can contribute part of the money, not all of it. After all, Li Dong is not the only one in the entire Li family.

Fourth, Li Nanming and Li Qing should be consulted on whether Li Lan can be included in the genealogy. Li Dong should not decide on his own.

After all, Li Lan is only a cousin, and there are older brothers and sisters. Li Dong's meddling indiscriminately is easy to be taboo.

...

After talking about these points, Li Dong almost understood what he should do.

Compiling the spectrum is a major event for the entire Li surname, and there is more than one person surnamed Li in Chenjiawan who wants to do it. Li Dong didn't say much about it.

I just told the village director surnamed Li that he would donate 50,000 yuan to build the ancestral hall later. If it is not enough, he can call Li Chengyuan and tell him.

When Li Dong got 50,000 yuan, the village director smiled like a flower, and quickly said that it was enough.

As for Li Lan's entry into the genealogy, Li Dong asked Li Qing and Li Nanming. Li Qing had no opinion, and she didn't think much of it.

Li Nanming was a little unhappy, but in the end he didn't know what to think, so he nodded his head reluctantly.

Even if the matter is settled like this, Li Dong talked to the village director, and the village director has no objection. After all, the revision of the score is not as good as before, and the taboo of illegitimate daughters is not big.

Besides, Li Dong is a big benefactor, and if he offended Li Dong, what will the Li family do in the future to repair bridges and pave roads, and who to ask for money.

This can be regarded as solving two problems, and the rest is to repair the grave.

The middle-aged man who was talking to Li Dong before, Li Dong also figured out the relationship between the two during the meal.

The middle-aged man is called Li Chengfu. Li Dong's grandfather and Li Chengfu's father are cousins. Li Chengyuan and Li Chengfu should also be counted as cousins. Li Dong actually doesn't know how to count.

He didn't bother to figure out how many layers of relationship they were with each other. Anyway, they hadn't released five clothes yet, so they could be regarded as a family.

Li Chengfu is the oldest person in Li Dong's house now. All the elders in their house have passed away. In the past, Li Chenghui was the oldest. After Li Chenghui passed away, he became Li Chengfu.

Now it is Li Chengfu who is in charge of repairing the ancestral graves.

In addition, there are a few people from Li Chengyuan's generation, and there are more young people from Li Dong's generation. Young people can't get in the way of grave repairs, so Li Chengfu and the others will discuss it with Li Dong.

After Li Chengfu finished speaking, Li Dong asked: "Uncle San, I have no objection to repairing the grave. You tell me the number, and I will pay for the lack."

Li Chengfu and the others looked at each other, hesitant.

Although they knew that Li Dong's family had sent it, they didn't know how far it had been sent.

If this is said too much, they are afraid that Li Dong will not come out, and if they scare Li Dong away, the matter will be a mess.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Chengfu said: "Dongzi, Dashanzi of the Chen family came back to repair the ancestral grave a few years ago.

It cost about 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, you see..."

Li Dong didn't understand what he meant, so he smiled and said, "How about this, I'll take out 150,000 yuan, Sanbo, do you think this is okay?"

Li Chengfu's eyes lit up, and he said quickly: "Okay, okay! Dongzi, don't worry, we won't let you pay the money alone, and our family will also pay. After all, it is for the ancestor's grave. Cheng and I Let them gather together, it should be possible to gather 20,000 to 30,000..."

Speaking of which, Li Chengfu looked at Li Nanming again and said, "Nanming, what do you say?"

The corner of Li Nanming's mouth twitched, and he said with a dry smile, "Isn't it enough to build a grave with 170,000 to 80,000?"

Li Chengfu's attitude was not very good, he frowned and said, "It's not that the money is enough, the key is that you are also from the Li family, and brother Cheng Hui is also now..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qing said: "Third Uncle, we will pay for this money, and we don't have any money. Do you think it is okay for our family to pay 20,000?"

Li Nanming's mouth was crooked, and he looked at Li Qing with the desire to kill someone.

But after all, in front of so many people, Li Nanming didn't get so confused that he turned his face on the spot, but his face turned dark, and he didn't say a word.

Everyone didn't care, as long as Li Nanming was willing to pay, plus Li Nanming's 20,000 yuan, it would be about 200,000 yuan.

In 2006, spending 200,000 yuan to build a grave was no small feat, especially in a place like Chenjiawan.

If nothing else, at least cover the Chen surname.

Li Chengfu was like something, and then he kept talking about how capable Li Chengyuan was, and how well he taught his son...

After all, he is an elder, so he is embarrassed to flatter Li Dong directly, and it is the same to flatter Li Chengyuan, Li Dong is still his son.

Li Dong smiled and said nothing, and asked Zheng Long to go out halfway.

When Zheng Long came back, he had a black plastic bag in his hand.

Li Dong handed the bag to Li Chengfu and said, "Third Uncle, I will trouble you about repairing the grave. You also know that my father and I are both in Pingchuan and are usually busy. I'm afraid I don't have much time to come back. Here is fifteen Wan, you take it first, if you don't have enough money, you can tell me."

Li Chengfu was holding the black clinker bag, his hands trembling a little.

Swallowing, Li Chengfu quickly glanced around, and said dryly: "Dongzi, this..."

"Uncle San, check it carefully, if there is no problem, you can keep it."

Li Dong laughed. The reason why he gave the money to Li Chengfu in public was because he was afraid that something would go wrong in the future.

He didn't really care much about it himself, he was afraid that someone would steal the money and say that Li Dong didn't pay, and what he said was like farting, then the reputation of Li Dong and Li Chengyuan would be stink.

Now that the big guys are here, Li Dong takes out the money, and Li Dong won't be blamed for any problems in the future.

Although Li Chengfu and the others were a little nervous, but in the end, it was better this way, and they were afraid that Li Dong would renege on his debt if he turned around.

Several people counted the money face to face, and then everyone discussed for a while, and the money was temporarily kept by Li Chengfu, and it would be deposited in the bank later.

The money is also in hand, and things are more or less the same.

When they heard that Li Dong would not return to Chenjiawan, everyone felt a little regretful, and finally bid farewell to Li Dong reluctantly, and everyone left one after another.

After everyone else had left, Li Dong also stood up and prepared to leave.

In fact, he saw that Li Nanming had something to look for him, but Li Dong was too lazy to talk to him and didn't want to talk to him.

As soon as he got up, Li Nanming said with a dry smile: "Dongzi, sit down."

Li Dong smiled and said: "I won't sit down anymore, there are many things in Pingchuan, and I have to go back to get busy."

Li Nanming couldn't open his mouth anymore. He and Li Dong didn't have a good relationship. Now that he bowed his head to beg Li Dong, he also felt quite ashamed.

It was Li Qing who pleaded: "Dongzi, don't leave yet, we have something to talk to you about."

Li Dong glanced at the two of them, but didn't sit down, and asked, "What's the matter, let's talk."

Li Qing pushed Li Nanming, and Li Nanming lowered his head, and said awkwardly: "Dongzi, let me ask you something first, do you own that distant supermarket?"

This kind of thing can't be hidden from people, as long as Li Nanming pays a little attention, or even searches for Li Dong's name on the Internet, he can find far away.

At this time, Li Dong didn't bother to deny it, and he was not afraid of Li Nanming's troubles, so he nodded and said, "I drove it."

Hearing Li Dong's admission, both Li Nanming and Li Qing were shocked.

Guess is guesswork. After all, Li Dong himself did not admit it before, but now that Li Dong has admitted it, the two of them were shocked.

When Li Chenghui passed away last time, they knew that Li Dong had made money.

But at that time, what they thought was only a few million. If there were more, the multi-millionaires would be at the top.

But what is the concept of Yuanfang Supermarket!

Just one Qingyang store is worth tens of millions.

What's more, Li Nanming and the others found more things on the Internet. Some people even said that Li Dong's net worth exceeded one billion. They couldn't even imagine this figure.

Seeing that the two were in a daze and did not speak, Li Dong said impatiently: "Just talk if you have something to do, I'm going back in a hurry."

For Li Dong's impatient attitude, Li Nanming did not show any dissatisfaction this time.

Unhappy is not happy, the name of a billionaire is enough to make Li Nanming accept his fate, and he is a little out of breath under the invisible pressure.

After a while, Li Nanming stuttered and said, "Dongzi, this is the situation. My father is gone, and you know the situation at my family..."

After listening for a while, Li Dong understood what he meant.

Since Li Chenghui's death, Li Nanming's family of three has been sitting and eating.

Li Chenghui's engineering team has completely collapsed. Li Nanming and Li Qing are usually unemployed youths. These two guys have no life skills and can't do anything.

I can't do hard work, and if I don't work hard, the salary is too low, and the two look down on them.

Wang Li over there is similar to them. Wang Li was able to endure hardships when she was young, but after enjoying the blessings for so many years, she can't do it now.

Although Li Chenghui left a lot of savings, it's not a big deal for a big family to come here like this.

In addition, Li Nanming also talked about a girlfriend, and he is going to get married soon, and maybe he will have a child soon, so is it possible to rely on that little savings to support so many people?

Then there was Li Qing, who was going to get married sooner or later.

Wang Li is reluctant to part with this daughter, and must share some savings with her daughter, and it will be even more difficult then.

It's fine in three or two years, and I'm afraid I'll have to sell the house in a few years.

The two brothers and sisters are not useless, anyway, they also know that it is not a thing to sit and eat every day waiting to die, so they are thinking about starting a small business.

However, with limited funds and limited experience, they cannot do many things.

In the end, they didn't know where they knew that joining a supermarket could make money, and they didn't need any skills, so the two brothers and sisters thought of opening a supermarket.

Nowadays, Yuanfang is naturally the largest supermarket in Qingyang area. Once they add up, they will join Yuanfang!

But there is one thing they may not have asked clearly, that is, Yuanfang has never engaged in franchising. Li Dong has the habit of eating alone, and he is too lazy to arrange these things, so there is no way to join.

...

After saying this, Li Nanming looked at Li Dong expectantly.

The reason why they found Li Dong was that they accidentally found it on the Internet.

At that time, Qingyang refused them to join. Li Nanming wanted to see if there was another way, so he searched Yuanfang Supermarket on the Internet.

It turned out that Li Dong's identity was not a secret, and Li Nanming naturally knew it.

This time, Li Nanming came back from Qingming mainly for this matter.

Even Li Nanming secretly thought that since Li Dong is so rich, he is his cousin anyway, so maybe he doesn't need to join the company, and it would be nice to join his company as a leader.

But he also knew in his heart that this possibility was too low.

He and Li Dong have hated each other since they were young, and they fought a lot. It's no wonder Li Dong agreed.

If he joined, he felt that the problem should not be too big. After all, he paid for the shop himself, and he was still a relative. Li Dong couldn't even refuse to agree to this request.

The result was beyond Li Nanming's expectations. After he finished speaking, Li Dong shook his head and said: "Joining is impossible, and Yuanfang will not engage in joining, so there is no need to talk about it."

Li Nanming was immediately annoyed when he heard the words: "Li Dong, you don't even give me this bit of face? I don't have a lot of money from you, so I'll just lend you the name of the supermarket. Isn't that okay?"

Li Dong sneered and said: "It's really not good! To put it bluntly, I can't trust you! If you are allowed to join, what will you do if you sell fake products later?"

Seeing that Li Nanming wanted to refute, Li Dong waved his hand and said, "Don't talk to me, it's useless. I can trust others, but I really can't trust you."

Li Nanming's face turned green.

Seeing this, Li Qing quickly said: "Dongzi, don't worry, even if my brother does this, I will keep an eye on him and not let him do it. We really just want to start a small business."

Li Dong said lightly: "Then open a supermarket by yourself, why join Yuanfang."

"You can open it yourself..."

Seeing Li Qing's troubled face, Li Dong let out a breath, and said after a long time: "Forget it, if you really want to open a supermarket, then open it, but don't use the name from Yuanfang. If you really open it later, you can buy from Qingyang It’s the only thing I can do, so you can figure it out for yourself.”

Although they look down on them, even though they don't like them, if they can really change their ways and live a good life, Li Dong doesn't mind helping them.

It's just to distribute the goods to their small supermarket according to the purchase price, and Li Dong doesn't lose a dime.

And if Li Nanming and the others are smart, then they will continue to do it, and it will be no problem to earn some money to support themselves.

After all, most of the goods from far away are directly pulled from the manufacturer, and the purchase price is much cheaper than that of the dealer.

Of course, if the two are still not satisfied, then I'm sorry, Li Dong has no obligation to support them.

He would rather help some poor people he didn't know than let these two guys get something for nothing.

It's not that they are poor and unable to eat, they are just lazy, and Li Dong doesn't want to spoil them.

Seeing that the two were still in a daze, Li Dong didn't say anything, turned around and walked out, saying, "If you open a supermarket, you can contact the store manager in Qingyang, and I'll greet him later."

After saying this sentence, Li Dong's figure has disappeared.

Li Nanming's face was gloomy, and Li Qing was a little disappointed. After a while, both of them heaved a long sigh, regretting their mistakes!

(To be continued.)
