Chương 14: Chapter 0012 Wang Jianjun

Li Xiaobao, under the envious gaze of others, harvested his family's rice.

"Come on, Xiaobao! Eat more!" During the meal, Zhou Cuihua kept adding food to Li Xiaobao's bowl, growing fonder of her young brother-in-law as she looked at him.

"Okay, Cuihua, you've been tired all day too. Don't keep serving the kid. Eat something yourself!" Li Detian said to Zhou Cuihua.

"Yes, Cuihua! You eat too!" Luo Guiying said with a smile on her face, thanks to the bountiful harvest.

"It's okay, Dad! Xiaobao should eat more, our rice was harvested early because of Xiaobao's hard work!" Although others might not understand what was going on, Zhou Cuihua very much knew.

Speaking of her own contributions, Zhou Cuihua had arrived in the Li family several years ago, and had been diligently farming every year. However, it had always been the same each year, only this year, due to Li Xiaobao's unusual behavior, the crops were harvested early and the harvest was abundant.

"Sister-in-law, you eat too!" Li Xiaobao did not object and laughed heartily, placing a chicken leg into Zhou Cuihua's bowl.

"Sister-in-law, no need to eat it, you eat!" Just as Zhou Cuihua was about to pass the chicken leg back to Li Xiaobao, she heard him say, "Oh sister-in-law, just eat it, besides, if it wasn't for your good care of the crops earlier, our harvest wouldn't have come so soon, right!"

Hearing Li Xiaobao's words, Zhou Cuihua felt a warmth in her heart and nodded, saying, "Sister will eat!"

"Li family, are you having your meal!" Just after finishing their meal, while Zhou Cuihua and Luo Guiying were cleaning the dishes, they heard Aunt Wang's voice at the gate of the courtyard.

"Aunt Wang, come on in!" Luo Guiying said as she welcomed Aunt Wang in.

"Li family, congratulations are in order for you guys, your rice not only ripened early but you also had a great harvest!" Aunt Wang did not spare any praises, constantly nodding at Zhou Cuihua. Now, everyone in the village thought that the Li family was blessed in their previous life to have married Zhou Cuihua as a daughter-in-law, but Li Dabao did not cherish her.

"Aunt Wang, what brings you here?" Luo Guiying knew that ever since Li Detian's leg had been injured, not many people from the village visited their home.

"It's about my uncle's issue!"

"Your uncle?"

"Yes! Did I not mention to Xiaobao last time, that my uncle's leg is not in good condition, and seeing how Xiaobao healed Detian's leg, I was thinking..."

Aunt Wang said, looking at Li Xiaobao, who was busy with several large garlic plants in the courtyard that were taller than a person.

"Hey, Xiaobao, tell sister-in-law, what exactly did you do to make our rice ripen so fast?" After cleaning up, Zhou Cuihua stood next to Li Xiaobao and quietly asked.

"Hehe, sister-in-law, you don't need to ask about that. When the time is right, I will naturally tell you!"

"Eh? Still keeping secrets from your sister-in-law!" Although Zhou Cuihua said this, her face was full of affection, and her gaze towards Li Xiaobao was very tender.

"Xiaobao, come in, Aunt Wang has something to tell you!" At that moment, Luo Guiying shouted to Li Xiaobao in the courtyard.

"I know, isn't it about treating the leg? I had already agreed!" Li Xiaobao preferred staying with Zhou Cuihua, listening to his sister-in-law's gentle words, but being called out by Luo Guiying made him somewhat reluctant.

"Go on, hurry!" Zhou Cuihua said with a gentle smile.

"Xiaobao, we agreed, no deceiving!" Aunt Wang was still somewhat uneasy.

"How could I, Aunt Wang!" Li Xiaobao walked over, not angry at all.

"That's great, I'm going to call my brother right now!" Aunt Wang, hearing Li Xiaobao's words, suddenly beamed with joy. As soon as the phone connected, she burst out enthusiastically, "Brother, it's me!"

"Oh, little sister, what's up? I'm busy right now! If it's about money, I'll have Little Xizi bring some over to you tomorrow!" Wang Jianjun's hurried breathing came from the other end.

As a famous industrialist and big boss of Qingshan Town, Wang Jianjun was well-known far and wide, and his fame was always accompanied by the story of his leg.

Ten years ago, an old Taoist had predicted Wang Jianjun's fortune, saying he would be wealthy and well-clothed all his life, but his right leg would definitely be disabled.

At that time, a proud and vigorous Wang Jianjun almost beat the old Taoist up after hearing his words and kicked him out of the house. However, things turned out exactly as the old Taoist had said. A few years later, Wang Jianjun's career was thriving, but his leg grew increasingly useless, until it was completely disabled.

By the time Wang Jianjun realized it, the old Taoist was nowhere to be found.

So, the reputation of Qingshan Town's lame boss, Wang Jianjun, gradually became well-established, with that leg always being an unspeakable wound in his heart.

Although Wang Jianjun's leg was ruined, as a man, his basic functions were still perfectly intact, so he began to live a life of Drunk and Dreaming every day. But recently, his health seemed to be failing too.

"You dead man, what have you been up to now? Have you been cheating on my sister-in-law again?" Aunt Wang exploded in anger at the sound coming from Wang Jianjun's side.

"Uh..." Li Xiaobao blushed as he listened to Aunt Wang's words, recalling the times in the city when he had occasionally walked down a street only to have a girl burst out of a rental room, trying to pull him inside for some fun.

At the time, Li Xiaobao ran away in fright. After understanding the whole incident later, he deeply regretted it, but thinking of Zhang Ling made him feel a little better.

Zhang Ling was much prettier than the girl back then.

"Ay, little sister, what exactly do you want to say? If it's nothing, I'm hanging up. I'm busy here!" Wang Jianjun said with a hint of impatience.

"Hey, don't hang up, I'm talking about that thing I mentioned last time about the Li family next to us!"

"What about the Li family? Do they want to borrow money?"

"Where did your mind go? It's about Old Li's leg. He had the same issue as you but recently got it cured. Maybe you should find some time to try it too?" Aunt Wang excitedly said.

"Oh!" However, Aunt Wang felt depressed, as her brother Wang Jianjun's reaction to her words was not enthusiastic.

Today it's this family's lame guy getting cured, tomorrow it's another family's broken arm being reattached, even better than before; Wang Jianjun had heard such tales countless times over the years.

The key issue was that Wang Jianjun had spent a lot of money, and his leg was still the same, showing no improvement. He had already given up and started enjoying life to the fullest.

"I'm telling you the truth, it's about Li Detian next door, you know him!" Finally, Aunt Wang managed to persuade her brother Wang Jianjun to come and give it a try tomorrow.
