Good luck every time

Zhao Laonian's heart sank. He turned around with his hands behind his back and walked to the next person.

Li Er didn't hear clearly what he said, but he couldn't leave the donkey cart now, so he put the matter aside for the time being.

Soon, Li Ruyi came back and took the donkey cart from Li Er.

Li Ershi went to help Li Shiwu move salt. He first filled the donkey cart and then followed the mule cart behind.

The two cars slowly left the city, and Li Er just then remembered to ask the driver.

"Who was that person just now? What did he say to you?"

The driver was driving the cart and was stunned for a while when he heard Li Er ask him this question.

"who?"

Li Er reminded him.

"When you were in the county government office, someone spoke to you."

The driver then remembered.

"Ah! You mean that tall and thin guy? I don't know him. He seemed to be looking for someone. I don't remember who he was looking for. I just heard it from one ear."

This driver was hired by Han Shian before, and the road sticker Li Ruyi was holding also belonged to Han Shian, so he always thought that his employer's surname was Han.

Moreover, the name Li Er was too common. He only knew that he was not the master, but he really couldn't remember who he was.

Seeing that he really didn't know, Li Ershi didn't ask any further questions.

Although the place where Zhao Laonian appeared was somewhat sensitive, if one was just asking about other people's news, it would not be considered as paying deliberate attention to it.

Li Er put this matter out of his mind.

Li Ruyi led the donkey cart back.

Back in Sanjia Village, they unloaded and weighed the goods as usual...

The driver drove the mule cart back to the county town.

Maybe he could find some work that was not too far away at this time, so he was not in a hurry to go home. He went to the car rental place at the city gate to wait for work.

It is already the middle of September and autumn is almost over. The climate in the north is relatively cold with distinct four seasons.

The cold wind of late autumn blew, and the driver felt a little cold. He squatted beside the mule cart and looked at the people walking around.

Just then, a pair of thick cloth shoes appeared in front of him.

The cyclist thought of his old shoes that had four or five patches on them and some places were leaking.

Compared with other people's shoes, my own shoes seem too shabby.

However, the owner of the shoes stopped in front of him and did not leave.

He looked up and saw a familiar face.

He stood up quickly.

"Do you need a car?"

Zhao Laonian narrowed his eyes and smiled, handing him a wine gourd.

"I don't need a car. Are you cold? Have a drink to warm yourself up!"

The driver was a little disappointed when he heard that the bike was not needed, but when he heard that he was going to be given wine, that disappointment turned into embarrassment.

"No, no! I have one myself."

He tied the wine gourd around his waist, which also contained some wine, but not much.

Zhao Laonian quickly moved his gourd over.

"You're welcome. I just want to ask you something."

When he heard that he wanted to inquire about something, the driver hesitated again.

"Hey, ask it yourself, take the wine back..."

Zhao Laonian pushed the wine gourd towards him again.

"You're welcome. I just want to ask, is the family you helped to transport salt today surnamed Li?"

The driver was quite tight-lipped. After listening to what both sides said, some comments finally left some impressions in his mind.

He looked at Zhao Laonian and thought about Li Ruyi and her group.

As for the surname Li, he only knew that Li Nian's surname was Li, but Li Nian was not the owner of the house. He was obviously hired by someone else.

The driver gave a simple smile and asked Zhao Laonian.

"Why are you asking this?"

Zhao Laonian showed a hypocritical expression.

"To be honest, my eldest brother had a child, but he couldn't support him a few years ago, so he gave the child to a family surnamed Li. I saw that the child looked a bit like my eldest brother. It was not easy to ask directly about this matter, so I thought of asking around..."

"My eldest brother is also a miserable man. Not long after he gave his child to someone else, he... Hey! I was thinking if I saw him, I would ask around, but it's not a good idea to go up and ask directly!"

The driver was skeptical about what Zhao Laonian said, but it had nothing to do with him.

"Then you must have recognized the wrong person. The owner's surname is Han, not Li!"

When he heard that the surname was not Li, Zhao Laonian became a little anxious.

How could this person not be surnamed Li?

He has been watching here for so many days. How could a child who looks like Li Er not have the surname Li?

He didn't believe it and asked again.

"That's impossible? He looks exactly like my eldest brother, so how could he not have the last name Li?"

After hearing this, the driver looked Zhao Laonian up and down, unable to control his disgust.

"You look just like your elder brother? So you two are uncle and nephew?"

Zhao Laonian didn't understand the meaning of the driver's words. He thought he remembered something and nodded vigorously.

"Yes, yes, yes! Uncle and nephew! That's my nephew!"

The driver frowned in disgust, pursed his lips and shook his head.

"That shouldn't be the case. I don't think that child looks like you at all. Besides..."

The driver looked at Zhao Laonian again, and when he opened his mouth, he poked Zhao Laonian's lungs so hard that they hurt.

"You're old enough to be someone's grandfather, right?"

"I understand. Are you looking for someone to buy salt from? Don't try to take advantage of the child just because he's young. He's a smart guy!"

Zhao Laonian: ...

"No! How can you talk like that? What do you mean I can be someone's grandfather? My son is only seventeen this year. How can I be someone's grandfather? I..."

The driver thought that Zhao Laonian's glare made him look even uglier.

It is said that appearance reflects the heart. Even if some people are not that good-looking, they are still comfortable to look at because of their good temperament.

But people like Zhao Laonian...

"Your son is already seventeen, and your eldest brother's son is only that old? I see you are not here to ask questions, you are here to cause trouble, right? Go away... don't delay my business."

Zhao Laonian was pushed by the rickshaw driver and staggered.

Nowadays, everyone has no service spirit. Some people are honest, some are slick, and how much you earn depends entirely on luck and talent.

Han Shian looked around and negotiated the price for a long time before finally choosing this man because he thought he was relatively reliable and not too fussy.

Zhao Laonian had been in a bad mood for some time, and became even angrier when he was pushed by him.

"What are you doing? Are there any businessmen like you? Come and take a look! Someone is being beaten!"

"You are the stinky coolie who pulls the cart!"

Zhao Laonian grabbed the handlebar man by the collar and started to make trouble for him.

The driver was startled and slapped Zhao Laonian on the face, which made Zhao Laonian's nose sore and tears came out of his eyes due to the pain.

He also got excited and started fighting with the rickshaw driver.

When the people around them came to separate them, both of them had bruises on their faces.

However, in terms of losses, the driver suffered the greater losses. Zhao Laonian was relentless and made trouble for him for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that Li Ruyi's order was lost, his work today would have been in vain!

But he had no place to reason.

I thought to myself that if I saw Li Ruyi again, I would definitely tell her about this matter.
