Chapter 761: It’s Not that I Don’t Want to Choose, but that I Don’t Want To
Travel is a very rare thing for most people in China now. At least two-thirds of the people in the city have never traveled, let alone the rural people.
The rapidly developing economy and the ever-changing living standards make people who have suffered in the past feel like they are winding up their watches every day. They are constantly working hard to make money and have no time to enjoy life.
So when they say they are going to travel, they always feel high-end. So after resting for a while in the room, Heli and Hexin felt energetic instantly. After lunch, they rented a cruise ship and wandered around Xiaonanhu Road for a while, and then entered the West Lake to visit the various scenic spots inside.
Jiaocheng is an inland city. Although there are rivers, they are not big. There are no big rivers near Wuli Township, Yang Dongxu’s hometown. So they were very excited to see such a big lake as West Lake. After all, it was their first time to experience taking a boat to visit a big lake.
So when they were visiting, they felt overwhelmed by looking at this and seeing it. Yang Dongxu was very foresighted and went back to get his camera. He took a lot of photos for them along the way and asked others to help take some group photos as a souvenir.
After dinner, Yang Dongxu asked for a private room and took his cousin and his wife to sing. The karaoke room now finally had the shadow of the KTV that Yang Dongxu was familiar with. Although the jukebox was not so smart and seemed a bit rigid, most of the songs could be sung.
Originally, he was the only one who sang. His cousin and his wife, who came to the KTV for the first time, were always a little restrained. However, after a few bottles of beer, the two couples slowly sang freely, and then sang love songs one after another to feed Yang Dongxu, a single dog.
After playing until more than ten o'clock, he asked someone to drive his cousin and his wife back to the hotel first, and then asked someone to take him back to the community. He went upstairs with two large bags of local specialties in his hand. Because he was happy, he drank some during dinner. In addition, Yang Dongxu and Su Ri'an did not get drunk in the KTV, but his head was a little dizzy.
When he went upstairs to his home and was about to open the door, he saw a woman coming out of the stairs. She looked at Yang Dongxu and his face turned cold: "I think my attitude is very clear. What does it mean to block my door like this? Is it a threat?"
"Can we go in and talk?" Li Li said, biting her lips.
"Is it necessary?" Yang Dongxu looked at the woman in front of him.
To be honest, Li Li is really beautiful. She is not the kind of high-end and classy beauty, but her long hair is tied up on her head, revealing her slender and white neck.
A miniskirt outlines her curvy figure. Although she is wearing high heels and has heavy makeup on her features, she always has an indescribable temptation, a bit of a bad girl, and a bit of the charm of a young woman. Seeing her always makes men feel a kind of male animal instinct.
This is a beauty in bed. Different from the deep, harmonious and warm feelings between husband and wife and beloved wife, seeing her always makes men want to release the inner beast to gallop recklessly.
"One minute, just give me one minute." Li Li said anxiously.
To be honest, this was the first time she met a man like Yang Dongxu. Since she gradually opened up, whether it was her classmates in middle school, or her co-workers or leaders in the factory, they always looked at her with an undisguised invasion and unspeakable greed.
Even though she finally found a backer that made many people afraid to offend, she still often encountered the kind of eyes that wanted to invade her unscrupulously. These people included big bosses who needed her help, officials, and some second-generation people.
She could always use these people's hearts and the right to speak given by the backer behind her to deal with everything with ease, as if she was holding a bone to lure a dog and manipulated these people at will.
She also felt the same look when she first met Yang Dongxu, but unlike the men she had met before, Yang Dongxu's look was more aggressive and calmer.
When she opened the chips, he did not hide the wantonness in his eyes on her, but compared with other men who panted and wanted to pounce on her and vent their anger, Yang Dongxu's wantonness was more like appreciation with mockery.
He did not hide that he was attracted by the human breath that Li Li constantly exuded, and he also had the impulse to smell the tempting fragrance for thousands of times, and he didn't even mind doing so. This was obviously not an impulse that a good man should have. But he didn't do what a bad man could do, or he was not a good man, but he had his own bottom line.
For example, the matter of Li Qiang, the reason why Yang Dongxu was holding on to this matter was to set a benchmark. As long as Li Qiang stayed in prison, the next time someone used a small trick, he would have to think twice.
But deterrence is not just one option, for example, if other men met a tempting young woman like Li Li who came to their door with a project that could make a lot of money.
The first reaction was to trick her into tasting the tempting meat and taking the project, and then talk about what to do. Even if Li Qiang is not released in the end, he will be given a one- to two-year sentence reduction. The benchmark of letting him stay in prison for a year or two will be set up and Li Li will be sent away.
Or simply spread the word about what Li Li paid to redeem her brother, making a lot of money and playing with women. In the end, Li Qiang, the little jerk, was let go with disdain, which can still have a deterrent effect. No one will think that he is wrong to do this, but will envy him a little.
In fact, Li Li approached Yang Dongxu with the latter in mind at the beginning. She felt that in the face of interests, anyone with a normal mind would choose the latter. After all, even if the most rational people could resist her temptation, no one could resist the investment in a project that makes a lot of money. After all, that was a lot of money. Who would not go against money?
But Yang Dongxu chose not to do so, or he was not like a qualified businessman at all. He did not consider maximizing his own interests at all. Instead, he was stubborn and insisted on nailing Li Qiang to death. He did not care that this choice would bring extremely low benefits. Another choice would be better and have enough profit.
Is Yang Dongxu not smart enough? Obviously not? Then can't he think of choosing another way and getting both money and beauty? Obviously not?
But why did he do this? Li Li couldn't figure it out, because she had never seen such a man. Among the people she had seen, who was not calculating and calculating how to squeeze oil out of every coin?
But for some reason, the more Yang Dongxu acted like this, the more Li Li wanted to trade with him. It's not the kind of mean temper that one has to fight for one's beauty when it is ignored, but a kind of peace of mind that has never been encountered.
This kind of peace of mind is not the support of a woman who finds a man who loves her, but as long as Yang Dongxu chooses to make a deal, when she won't do something to him, she can rest assured that he won't do something to her, and she doesn't have to keep one eye open when sleeping. Of course, if you dare to stab him in the back, maybe going to hell is a pleasant choice.
While this man abides by the rules of the transaction and makes people feel at ease, he is also a violent demon with extremely powerful means. When he shows his violent side, perhaps suicide is the best choice.
"If you have anything to say, it's actually meaningless. I have expressed my meaning very clearly." He opened the door and went into the house to open the two packages in his hand. He looked at the specialties that his mother brought inside. Those that can't be kept for too long should be put in the refrigerator or kept safe or frozen.
"I have some evidence of their transactions, which can help you use their power to do business better. You can also use my network of connections. I know you may not like this.
But the county magistrate is worse than the current one. Sometimes, problems can be solved by small people. It is not worth it to use too many high-ranking connections. Sometimes, you can achieve your goal by dealing with these small people without making a big fuss in the city."
Looking at Yang Dongxu, who was holding various local specialties and putting them in the refrigerator, and had the feeling of a little man in the family, Li Li's expression was dazed for a moment.
"What you said makes sense. Sometimes you use a butcher knife to kill a chicken. If you use a butcher knife too much, it may become a butcher knife. In this era of interest exchange, every time you use a favor, you need to invest.
Instead of chopping off the chicken's head with a butcher knife and making it bloody everywhere, it is a better choice to use a small knife to cut the neck. There may be a sound of the slaughtered chicken flapping, but everyone does it this way.
Since everyone does this, you are the same as him, so you are naturally not the first bird to stand out, regardless of whether the slaughtered chicken flaps louder than other chickens." Yang Dongxu turned his head and looked at Li Li with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
This woman is not only physically attractive, but also has an IQ. Not only does she do things cleanly and neatly, but she also knows how to advance and retreat and knows what her opponent wants.
Li Li did not speak and looked at the man in front of her, waiting for the next step.
"But." Yang Dongxu retracted his gaze, shook the salted duck eggs in his bag, and found that they were cooked, so he took the bag of salted duck eggs directly into the kitchen. This thing can be stored for a long time without being put in the refrigerator. "My family raises a lot of chickens, so I don't have to kill other people's chickens to eat meat. Even if I like other people's chickens and feel that their chickens are more delicious, I can buy them back. No one can say anything about killing them.
As for those little devils you mentioned, I have a knife that can kill cows, which will make many people who want to plot against me think before they do it. So there is no need to chop the cow knife out, just hold it in your hand so that they can see it, and the favor will not be thinner if it is not used.
Of course, I admit that the things you said are very useful and tempting. I will even cultivate some chicken-killing knives to provide convenience for myself. But the premise of doing all this is to comply with the rules. Doing business in a law-abiding manner is good for you, me, and everyone.
As for playing some tricks, my choice is that no matter how much ransom the other party can get, I will Crush him. In this way, others will know my character better and understand my principles of doing things better.
Then they will play with me within the rules, and what about me? This person is very smart. Others can make a lot of money by using tricks outside the board. I can also make more reasonable and legal money within the rules.
So I am the beneficiary of this rule, and I am still making a steady stream of profits. There is no reason not to reach out and crush the clown who jumps out of the board, right?
And letting go of such a person who uses tricks outside the board will give people an illusion that I can't deal with him if I bite him, and he will make a lot of money. Even if I can deal with him, I can get some benefits and get out of it. This illusion is not good and will bring me a lot of trouble. What do you think? "
"I think this is not offending you but just losing a layer of skin, but directly paying everything to the point of bankruptcy, which is the same as the deterrent result you want, so when you can get more, there is no reason not to change a choice. "Li Li looked at Yang Dongxu with stubbornness in her eyes.
This kind of stubbornness is like an ant supported by a big hand. As long as the young master exerts a little force, he will be crushed to death by her, and he will not suffer any harm.
In fact, she locked the door after entering the house. This is undoubtedly a very obvious hint. She even thought about whether she should take off her clothes and stand in front of the other party to express what it means to give her all. But when she met Yang Dongxu's teasing eyes, she could only stand there blankly. Although her eyes were still stubborn, she did not dare to cross the line.
"With your IQ, you should understand that it is actually a good thing for you or for them if they all go in." Yang Dongxu closed the refrigerator door and glanced at Li Li, who looked stubborn, and walked to the table to pour her a glass of water.
"I know, I know that they will get into trouble sooner or later if they are so unscrupulous. If they don't meet you, they will meet others. Going to jail may make them sober, but they are my parents and my brother. I really can't just watch them go to jail and do nothing." Li Li couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes anymore.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, all she did was not worth it, neither her parents nor her brother were worth her so much.
Her backer was going to retreat, and her situation would be even more difficult in the future. What she should do at this time was to use the last bit of heat in her chips to exchange for more money that could guarantee her life in the second half of her life.
Yang Dongxu did not mean to kill her parents or brother, so it was the wisest choice to keep the money and wait for them to come out and express his filial piety with a wealthy life.
Otherwise, if she paid everything now, even if she got her parents and brother out, what about the future? Will her parents and brother, who were used to a rich life, adapt to a life of poverty?
Will her parents or her brother settle down to find a job and live a peaceful life? So the final result must be that the burden of the whole family will be on her again, and she will continue to find a rich or powerful old man, and then let her family lie on him and continue to suck blood.
But sometimes when facing feelings, whether it is love or family affection, even if you can see it clearly, how many people can make the most rational and correct choice?
Maybe it feels like a good choice in the eyes of many people who eat melons. Obviously, the right choice is so obvious and so easy to take a light step. Anyone who is not a brainless person will choose this way.
But as the person involved, she will definitely choose if it is not right. It is not that she did not see the right option, but that she cannot get over the hurdle in her heart.
For example, in the previous life, Yang Dad and his uncle Shengli, the uncle was all kinds of death and trouble, and Yang Dad, the pillar of the family, was so angry that he wanted to kill him, but the uncle was beaten and stabbed.
After returning from the hospital, Yang Dad would have nightmares when sleeping at home, and he would not feel at ease until he went to the hospital to stay by his brother's side. Sometimes you wish that some people's relatives would die, so that you would be at peace.
But once you encounter something, you will find that no matter how bad the other party is, the relationship between blood is thicker than water, which is not so easy to give up, and not everyone can be cruel.
