Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

This is good news.

Li Weidong has wanted to replace the windshield for a long time.

But in this era, there were no auto repair shops, and high-tech products like car windows were only available in car factories.

However, Li Weidong was extremely upset at the moment and was in no mood to discuss these things.

He said calmly, "Really? Well, get ready. We're going back to the capital today. I have some personal matters to take care of."

"Okay, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some local specialties."

After Niu Meng left, Li Weidong thought about it again and again and felt that he should meet Zheng Juan again.

Even though it was just an accident, it is unacceptable for a girl to be put in that situation and then leave like that.

So he went to the security department, borrowed a bicycle, and rode all the way to Zheng's house.

Although he was riding a shabby 28-inch bicycle, he rode it like a Ferrari.

When he arrived at Zheng's house, he saw Zheng Guangming grinding glass fragments in the yard.

After thinking for a while, he shouted into the house: "Guangming, where is your sister?"

Hearing Li Weidong's voice, Zheng Guangming immediately stopped grinding the glass and walked over quickly.

"Brother Li, my sister is out doing laundry, would you like to come in and sit down?"

Li Weidong touched Zheng Guangming's head and said, "No need, do you know where she went to wash clothes?"

"I know!" Zheng Guangming immediately told Li Weidong Zheng Juan's location.

After listening, Li Weidong took out a coin from his pocket and handed it to Zheng Guangming: "Guangming, I'm going to find your sister. You can play with this and stay at home obediently."

Coins are children's favorite toys. They can be used as marbles or as spinning tops.

Most people have a hard time buying one, but for truckers, it's no problem.

The bearings on the trucks would always go bad, and each repair would net you a ton of coins.

"Oh!" Zheng Guangming answered somewhat disappointedly, holding the coin tightly.

Although he liked Gangbier, he hoped that Li Weidong could stay and play with him.

This truck driver had nothing, and those stories all over the world almost filled Zheng Guangming, who had never traveled far, with longing.

However, Li Weidong had no time to comfort Zheng Guangming, now he had to find Zheng Juan.

After saying goodbye to Zheng Guangming, Li Weidong went to the laundry area according to his instructions.

There was a public faucet in Guangzi Pian, and there was a long line of people in front of a rusty faucet.

Girls carried washtubs, ladies and men carried buckets, and the air was thick with the hum of life.

Soon, Li Weidong found Zheng Juan. She was standing in front of the team, standing on tiptoe and looking forward.

Just as Li Weidong was about to step forward, he heard a conversation behind him.

"Have you heard? Another group of people were arrested last night. I heard that they violated the Zheng family's Juanzi the night before yesterday and were caught on the spot."

"Ah? Is that Juanzi?"

"Hush, keep your voice down. She's nearby. I just noticed her. It's unfortunate. Being pretty isn't always a good thing."

Hearing these gossips, Li Weidong's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Even though Zheng Juan has become his woman now, hearing these women gossiping behind his back still makes him furious.

People of this era do not laugh at poverty like later generations, but at the lack of rules. As long as you have money, you are a successful person.

The little girls from Guangdong stayed there for a few years and became tea artists, and then when they returned home, they were still able to find an honest boy to take care of themselves.

In this era, people attach great importance to face, and these gossips are enough to ** a person.

Seeing them talking more and more excitedly, Li Weidong finally couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and walked up to the women.

The women were startled by Li Weidong's appearance and immediately stopped chatting, but he had no intention of letting them go.

"Why don't you say anything more? Weren't you very excited just now? Speak louder, so that everyone knows how you talk about others behind their backs!" Li Weidong said in a strange tone, which made the two women feel embarrassed for a moment, but they quickly recovered.

One of the women stood up fearlessly, stamped her feet and asked loudly, "What do you care about what I said? Who are you?"

"You are talking about my sister. How can this matter have nothing to do with me?" Li Weidong said, and immediately shouted to Zheng Juan at the front of the team: "Juanzi, come here!"

When Li Weidong was mocking the two women, Zheng Juan had actually noticed his arrival, and she couldn't help but feel joy and surprise. She never regretted helping Li Weidong, after all, he had saved her, provided her with a way to make a living, and helped her family get out of trouble. What woman wouldn't like a handsome, responsible and capable man like Li Weidong?

However, the fact that Li Weidong was married prevented Zheng Juan from destroying other people's families. She regarded what happened last night as an accident and thought that they would never meet again. Unexpectedly, Li Weidong took the initiative to find her. She had heard the gossips of those people just now, but she was used to tolerance. No matter how others talked, she always endured and kept silent.

However, Li Weidong stood up for her this time, which made Zheng Juan feel warm again. She walked towards him without hesitation. In her heart, Li Weidong was her man, so she naturally had to obey his words.

Zheng Juan walked to Li Weidong, and Li Weidong pointed at her and said to the two women: "Come, the person is here. If you dare, say it again in front of her." The two women looked at Zheng Juan, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not dare to speak.

They could talk about others in private without taking any responsibility, but they had nothing to say in front of Zheng Juan because Zheng Juan had never done anything to them. Once she heard them, they would be accused of gossiping behind their backs. Moreover, Li Weidong continued to mock, "Don't you always think of yourself as strong? If this happened to your child, would you still gossip like this? Wouldn't it ruin your own family's reputation? What good will this do for you? Don't you want others to live a better life? Have you ever thought about how Guangming would retaliate against you if he knew that you treated his sister like this? Do you think honest people are so weak and easy to bully? Do you want me to make up some more rumors about your family? I have friends in the newspaper. Juanzi, what are their names? I will tell them about this in the future, so that the whole Jichun and Jiangliao will know what happened in Guangzi Pian."

When the two women heard this, their faces suddenly turned ugly. If someone else said this, they might still doubt it, but Li Weidong was wearing a ** and a general's ** on the outside, and he kept adjusting it with his hands, revealing a gun from under his clothes. The glittering gun handle was particularly cool in the sun. They had seen guns before, but they had never seen such a big gun, nor had they seen such a shiny gun like the one in Li Weidong's hand. They shrank their necks in fear, and they dared not really argue with Li Weidong.

Zheng Juan was a smart girl. She knew that Li Weidong wanted to use this opportunity to teach these two women a lesson and at the same time deter others. At this time, most of the people in the team were housewives or young women who liked to talk about others. What happened today would definitely spread. They also knew what kind of person Li Weidong was, and they would not easily create trouble in front of him in the future.

"Brother Weidong, they..." Zheng Juan was about to say the names of the two people when the two women suddenly became worried and hurriedly pulled Zheng Juan's hand and slapped themselves twice.

"Juanzi, I know I was wrong. I have no right to say bad things about you behind your back. Please be magnanimous and let us go!"

"Yes, Juanzi, we really don't dare to do this again. Please be kind and let us go." Although Zheng Juan originally wanted to tell them that she was not an adult and was not that tolerant, she suddenly felt very happy when she saw their actions at this moment. They now know that they are wrong, why didn't they do it earlier!

However, Zheng Juan still performed with them, ensuring that the two women were trapped in a situation where they could not escape, and that they would definitely have difficulty staying in Guangzi Pian in the future. Zheng Juan did not express forgiveness for them, but turned to Li Weidong and said, "Brother Weidong..." She was also proud of her wit. It is always a pleasure to work with wise people.

“Well, since it’s my sister who pleaded for them, then forgive them this time. Hurry up and don’t let others see you, or they will think I bullied you.”

"No, no, this is entirely our fault. We talked too much just now. Oh, by the way, I remembered that the water at home is still boiling, so I'll go over and take a look first."

"Yes, I suddenly remembered that I still have some housework to do, so I'll go back first. Juanzi, I'm sorry, your sister-in-law likes to talk nonsense. From now on, I will control my mouth and stop talking nonsense." After saying that, the two women hurriedly ran away with the basins, not even bothering to wash their clothes. Their messy trouser legs were twisted into a ball, as if they were afraid that if they walked too slowly, Li Weidong would change his mind.

Seeing their running figures, Zheng Juan couldn't help laughing. Li Weidong felt relieved when he saw Zheng Juan laughing. He tentatively said to Zheng Juan, "Juanzi, can we talk?"

Zheng Juan nodded obediently. She knew that since Li Weidong came to her and stood up for her, he must have some explanations to give her. The two walked to a corner. Li Weidong looked at Zheng Juan who was lowering her head. For a moment, he didn't know how to start. He forgot all the words he had thought up on the way, but he decided to speak out:

"Juanzi, although I was drunk last night, I did that thing and I will definitely take responsibility. I..."

Zheng Juan interrupted him: "Brother, don't be like this, I volunteered last night." Li Weidong looked at Zheng Juan and felt an indescribable excitement in his heart. He understood that since Zheng Juan left the hotel alone, she already knew that he could not make any explanation for her.
