1987 My Era

Chapter 280, Confession, Unfair Remarks (Subscribe!)

night.

After dinner, while Chen Zijin and second sister Li Lan were out shopping, Tian Run'e called Li Heng to the bedroom.

As soon as the door closed, Tian Run'e lowered her voice and asked, "Manzi, tell me the truth, have you secretly been to Peking University before coming here?"

Li Heng practiced Tai Chi and said, "Mom, this is 1987, not the Republic of China period. This is life, not underground work. You don't have to be so nervous."

Tian Run'e slapped him lightly on the back of his head and sighed, "Your father and I are worried about this. Tell us the truth so that we can be mentally prepared in advance and pay attention to what to say and do, and what to avoid as much as possible."

All mothers in the world are the same. No matter whether their sons are successful or not, good or bad, they will probably treasure them because they are, after all, a piece of their flesh and blood.

Li Heng thought for a moment and said honestly, "I've been there. I rested there last night."

Tian Run'e's eyes widened: "Spending the night with Song Yu?"

Li Heng said: "You are just wishful thinking. It is not that easy."

Hearing this, looking at her son in front of her, Tian Run'e felt very complicated, and asked tentatively: "Zi Jin is not bad, leaving the Chen family aside, your father and I are quite satisfied with him, can't we focus on one?"

Li Heng muttered: "Mom, our situation is not as simple as you think. Please stop worrying about it. Take good care of yourself and take good care of dad. It's better than anything else."

Tian Run'e asked again: "Are you really determined?"

Li Heng said: "She is my life."

Tian Run'e took a deep breath and calmed down and asked, "What about Secretary Xiao's daughter in town?"

Li Heng replied: "It's my fate too."

Tian Run'e took two deep breaths and asked, "Is Zijin your life?"

Facing his mother's gnashing teeth, Li Heng answered calmly, "That's right!"

This time, Tian Run'e took a long breath and finally squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Then may I ask, Mr. Li, is there a chance for my son to stay at Fudan University?"

Li Heng looked up at the ceiling and said nothing.

Tian Run'e frowned: "Answer me, let me think about whether your father and I should go back to our hometown."

Li Heng muttered: "What does this have to do with you two returning to your hometown?"

Tian Run'e pursed her lips: "It's a big deal. If you are so capable of causing trouble, your father and I should stay away. We are not even 50 yet, and we still want to live a few more years."

Li Heng joked, "It's no use hiding. There's an auntie with great abilities who has chosen me and wants me to be her son-in-law. Do you think I should be her son-in-law?"

Tian Run'e leaned forward slightly: "To the sky? How far to the sky?"

Li Heng said: "If she really wants to find you and my father, hiding in the country is basically useless?"

Tian Run'e asked: "Hiding abroad?"

Li Heng said, "You still want to go abroad? You don't want your son or daughter anymore?"

Tian Run'e said unhappily, "With your ability to make trouble, your father and I wouldn't have enough lives to deal with you. Wouldn't it be better to give up on you earlier to protect ourselves?"

Li Heng: “.”

After a while, Tian Run'e asked cautiously: "Are you serious about the aunt you just mentioned?"

Li Heng replied: "I'm just trying to scare you. I don't have the ability to do that with my body."

Tian Run'e breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, Manzai, listen to your mother's advice, three is enough! If there are more, the house won't be able to accommodate them, and your body won't be able to handle it."

Li Heng said: "Don't worry about this matter, I plan to go to Qinghai XZ in a while."

Tian Run'e asked curiously, "What are you going there for?"

Li Heng said shamelessly: "There is Happy Zen over there, go and learn some secret techniques and come back."

In fact, this was just an excuse.

He had spent a lot of effort to search for the Happy Zen in his previous life, and he really learned something, which helped him a lot in bed. Although, he already had enough capital, but with this thing, he was like a tiger with wings, and sometimes the three of them could not satisfy him.

Let me ask you, with Kato Ying's golden finger + the secret technique of Happy Zen + a physical capital comparable to that of Lao Ai, where in this world can he not go?

He may not have other great advantages, but he has always worked hard on self-cultivation, tirelessly learning external knowledge, and has visited many old Chinese medicine practitioners. His purpose is to live a good and quality life.

Tian Run'e was so angry that she slapped him several times. After a while, she rolled her eyes and said, "Is there really such a thing?"

Li Heng nodded, "Of course there is."

Tian Run'e pondered for a while, and finally said: "If you really can't let go of the three of them, this is not a bad idea, but can you really handle them well and not let them fight in the future?"

Li Heng blinked: "You can only eat as much as you can afford."

The mother and son confronted each other for a while, and Tian Run'e suddenly asked: "Does Fudan University have one?"

A figure flashed through his mind, and Li Heng replied: "I don't know?"

Tian Run'e was anxious for him: "Yes, yes, no, no, what do you mean you don't know?"

"Definitely not now, but who can predict the future? Sometimes people are trapped in this world and have no choice," said Li Heng.

Tian Run'e frowned even deeper: "Don't be so mysterious, I think he just met a girl who was too beautiful and got lustful again."

Li Heng was unhappy: "I am your son after all, how can you use such vulgar words."

Tian Run'e snorted, "If it wasn't my son, I would have called the police directly."

After that, she paused, slowed down her tone and asked, "How many are there at Fudan University?"

Li Heng replied: "Not even one."

Tian Run'e stared at him for a while, then stood up and said, "Didn't you rent a house in Lushan Village to write? Mom will go with you this time."

Li Heng asked cautiously: "Why are you getting old?"

Tian Run'e said: "I will take care of your daily life, help you with washing and cooking."

Li Heng asked: "Dad doesn't care anymore?"

Tian Run'e said: "Your father's health has recovered by more than half now. I am relieved that your second sister is taking care of him."

Li Heng evaded the question: "I can't buy your plane ticket."

Tian Run'e said: "Ask that all-knowing aunt to buy it for you."

Li Heng was speechless: "I was just joking just now, don't take it seriously."

Tian Run'e drooped her eyelids. "Whether it's a joke or not, you know it, and so does your mother. It's said that people leave traces behind, and wild geese leave their voices behind. My precious son has flirted with girls in elementary school, middle school, and high school, and he's in a big place like Shanghai for college. If I didn't flirt with one or two, I would have gone home to burn incense and thank my ancestors."

Li Heng was convinced: "No, don't burn incense to disturb the ancestors. I'm afraid they will get up from the ground in envy and shout that they want to learn from me."

Before she finished speaking, Tian Run'e laughed angrily: "Is it necessary for me to learn from you if you are so capable? Zhao Jing is still obsessed with your dad."

Hearing this, Li Jianguo, who was on guard outside the door, looked around and quickly slipped away.

Li Heng said, "I went to Chang City this time, not directly back to Shanghai City."

Tian Run'e asked: "What are you going to Changshi for?"

Li Heng replied: "There is a teacher there, she wants to talk to me about something."

"teacher?"

Tian Run'e was shocked, sat down again, and lowered her voice: "Manzi, you even slept with the teacher?"

Li Heng was speechless.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "Do I have this ability?"

Tian Run'e was skeptical: "You may not have it, but your mother gave you a face that can sleep with the teacher."

Li Hengte was depressed: "If you don't trust me like this, I won't be able to go home for the New Year this year."

"That's a good idea."

Unexpectedly, Tian Run'e agreed directly: "Zijin is going home for the New Year this year. If things go wrong, she might bump into Secretary Xiao's daughter. If you don't come back for the New Year, I will be less worried."

Li Heng asked: "Am I still your son?"

Tian Run'e raised her eyebrows: "For now, when you have a child in the future, I will discuss with your father and remove you from the Li family's household registration book."

After these words were spoken, the mother and son stared at each other in silence for a while.

After a long while, Tian Run'e finally asked, "Among the three of them, who do you like best?"

Li Heng replied: "I can marry anyone."

Tian Run'e asked: "Is there anyone special that you want to marry?"

Li Heng answered irrelevantly: "When you meet Song Yu and Xiao Han in the future, you will understand."

Tian Run'e looked at him for a while, then stood up and said, "It seems that your father and I need to be more careful and not promise Zijin too early. Oh, you really give me a headache."

After saying this, Tian Run'e left with a sad heart.

Before leaving, she said, "I don't care what you do to the Chen family. But Zijin has given so much for you and our family. Don't let her down, or I will move in with her in the future."

"Yes, I know. Don't worry." Li Heng stood up to see him off.

Back in her bedroom, Tian Run'e questioned her husband, "I asked you to stand guard, why did you run away?"

Li Jianguo pointed to the courtyard outside the window and said, "I'm watching the gate. Zijin and Lanlan haven't come back yet."

Tian Run'e came over and pressed, "Are you running away because you feel guilty about Zhao Jing?"

Li Jianguo turned around and said, "We've slept in the same bed together for so many years, and you don't even trust me?"

Tian Run'e shook her head and nodded again, "I used to believe it, but look at what kind of kid you gave birth to. They say like father like son. How can I still believe it?"

Li Jianguo almost vomited blood. After a long while, he managed to say, "That's your son too."

After saying that, the couple looked at each other, with an indescribable emotion lingering in their hearts. Their son was indeed very capable, but he was also a real worry!
Chen family.

Seeing her husband and sister-in-law coming back, Zhong Lan leaned over and asked, "Where's Zijin? Where is she?"

Chen Xiaomi said, "Sister-in-law, Zijin is at school and hasn't come back yet."

Zhong Lan is not easy to fool, "Are you really in school? Not at Li's house?"

Chen Zitong jumped out of the room at this time, "Mom, are you saying that my sister is in my brother-in-law's bed?"

Hearing this, Chen Xiaomi held back her laughter.

Chen Gaoyuan turned his head away and pretended not to hear this.

Zhong Lan was so angry that her chest swelled up and down, and she scolded: "Go do your homework, and don't leave the room until you finish it! Don't eat dinner."

"Tsk! You bully the weak and fear the strong. Now that your brother-in-law is so powerful, you dare not show your teeth anymore. So you target me. Don't go too far, or I will find one at school." After saying this, Chen Zitong was afraid of being beaten, so he ran into the room and slammed the door.

Zhong Lan pointed at the door and said to Chen Gaoyuan, "Look at the two good daughters you gave birth to. I'm almost mad at you."

Chen Gaoyuan patted his wife on the shoulder and went into the old man's room. Chen Xiaomi took Zhong Lan to her room, closed the door and said, "Sister-in-law, I have something I've wanted to tell you for a long time."

Zhong Lan raised her head and looked at her sister-in-law in confusion.

Chen Xiaomi asked seriously: "Without prejudice, based on objective facts, is Li Heng worthy of our Zijin?"

Zhong Lan narrowed her eyes and said nothing.

Chen Xiaomi asked again: "Is it because Li Heng didn't come to your house to apologize to you that you can't swallow your anger?"

Zhong Lan was silent, and after a while asked: "You used to stand on the same line with me, and your attitude was more resolute than mine. Did you change too quickly?"

Faced with this heart-piercing question, Chen Xiaomi fell silent, and finally sighed, "A man who knows the times is a hero, there is nothing shameful about this. He rose too fast, and we have to face this fact. Now he has good looks, talent, knowledge, and is also a recognized famous writer in the literary world. Sister-in-law, if you continue to reject him like this, Zijin will be embarrassed in the future."

Zhong Lan looked up: "What's embarrassing? Tell me."

Chen Xiaomi looked directly into her sister-in-law's eyes: "He has such good conditions, he will never lack women in the future. Even if he doesn't take the initiative to provoke her, there will probably be many women with excellent conditions throwing themselves at him. If we don't support Zijin anymore, it's hard to say what kind of opponents she will face in the future."

Zhong Lan raised her voice a little: "Are you saying that little thing dared to dump Zijin?"

Chen Xiaomi responded sharply: "You have been disagreeing and always trying to please me, so how can you say you are dumping me?"

"Me!" Zhong Lan was hit in the heart.

Face to face, Zhong Lan frowned, "Xiaomi, you have changed so fast, I almost don't recognize you."

Chen Xiaomi did not deny it, but said: "You are not a pure writer, and you don't understand Li Heng's weight in the literary world. If Zijin was not my niece, I would have been attracted to him."

Zhong Lan stared at her in disbelief, staring at her intently, "What are you talking about?"

Facing her murderous gaze, Chen Xiaomi remained unmoved: "The longer you pay attention to him, the more you pay attention to him, the more you will feel how powerful he is. The essence of this society is to admire the strong. It is easy for female artists to be attracted to him."

Zhong Lan asked: "Are you attracted to him?"

Chen Xiaomi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "How could that be? She is Zijin's man, I won't compete with my niece for her. I am just using a metaphor to remind you that if you don't cherish such a son-in-law, there will be many people out there vying for her. It's hard to say who will end up with her in the future."

Zhong Lan said: "If that's the case, doesn't that prove that I was right in judging people?"

Chen Xiaomi said, "Sister-in-law, you are just saying this out of anger. Logically, you shouldn't say this in your position. It's incompetent."

Without waiting for her sister-in-law to reply, Chen Xiaomi continued, "After all, our Chen family is a family that has settled down in Beijing. We can't be so superficial and emotional when judging people. Which capable man doesn't need a woman by his side? According to your argument, none of them are good.

I have a feeling that if you don’t change your mindset soon, my sister-in-law, Zijin will not be able to compete with others in the future, and it will be our Chen family that will hold us back.”

These words left Zhong Lan speechless.

After a while, Zhong Lan asked, "Has this little thing already been involved with other women outside?"

Chen Xiaomi said: "Girls of this age all yearn for love. With Li Heng's conditions, he will definitely attract the attention of a wave of outstanding girls. This is inevitable. And it is not easy for us to interfere. The key is whether Zijin has this fate? Does he have the ability to hold on to him?"

Well, the conversation changed from whether or not he was willing to let his daughter marry him to whether or not his daughter could hold on to him. Zhong Lan felt inexplicably annoyed after hearing this.

One year!

In just over a year, this little thing has grown to this point. It was truly unexpected and caught everyone in the Chen family off guard.

Zhong Lan was very upset.

She angrily asked back: "He slept with my daughter, and he still wants me to take the initiative to go to his house to show my affection?"

Chen Xiaomi laughed when she heard this. "That's not the case. I know you feel uncomfortable, but for Zijin's sake, I'd better turn a blind eye to it in the future."

Zhong Lan exhaled, "Look at what he is capable of. Even you are now speaking for him like this. The world is changing so fast."

Chen Xiaomi was silent.

Zhong Lan waved her hand and said, "Go out. I'll be alone for a while."

"Okay, then I'll go cook. I hope you can be more open-minded." Chen Xiaomi knew that her sister-in-law had reached a dead end, and it would be meaningless to say more today.

Mr. Chen's room.

Mr. Chen took off his reading glasses and asked, "Did you go to the Drum Tower?"

Chen Gaoyuan sat down and said, "I was there in the morning."

Mr. Chen asked, "How is it?"

Chen Gaoyuan thought about it and said, "I played four games of chess with Xiaoheng and lost all four."

Mr. Chen asked, "Did you let him?"

Chen Gaoyuan said: "He let me."

Mr. Chen suddenly smiled and said through his teeth: "This is a sign of soaring to the sky."

If someone said this in the past, Chen Gaoyuan would barely object, but now he completely agrees.

After a cup of tea, Chen Gaoyuan said, "On the way, Xiaomi mentioned something to me."

Mr. Chen asked, "Is it because he is popular with girls?"

Chen Gaoyuan asked: "Have you investigated him?"

Old Master Chen waved his hand: "There is no need to investigate this kind of thing. It must happen around us. This is not an isolated case, it is a common phenomenon. The range of its group absorption reflects the potential of a man from the side."

Chen Gaoyuan nodded: "My younger sister also holds the same view."

Li Heng stopped talking here, and the father and son later talked about major events related to the fate of the Chen family.

Before going to bed at night, Li Heng went into his second sister's room and asked her, "Do you have enough money?"

Li Lan replied as she made her bed: "There are still more than 2 yuan left. Save the money for marrying a wife and don't give it to your family."

Li Heng sat down and asked, "How is your pastry learning going?"

"It's okay. I have good talent and can learn many styles at a glance." Li Lan said.

Li Heng asked: "Do you plan to stay in Beijing? Or will you return to Shao City next year?"

Li Lan hesitated for a while and said, "I'm still considering it."

Li Heng nodded and didn't say anything about her marriage.

Because there is no need to. This second sister is smarter than a monkey. She is the kind of person who will never suffer any loss wherever she goes. There is no need to worry about her.

As for my second brother-in-law in my previous life, wow! Because we were too busy and worked and lived in different cities, we didn’t really have much contact in our lives. We could even say that we didn’t know each other very well, so there was no empathy.

After watching her make the bed for a while, Li Heng said, "While you are in Beijing, if you come across any good courtyard houses, please help me look for a few more."

Li Lan turned around and said, "Still buying? Do you have so much money to burn?"

"Buy it? Why not? I wouldn't think eight or ten sets of this kind of cultural heritage is too much." Li Heng said.

Li Lan didn't quite understand, so she came over and sat down: "Do you think you can sell it for a good price in the future?"

Li Heng gave a thumbs up and said, "Second sister is amazing. She understood it before I even clicked on it. I personally am really optimistic about her."

Li Lan confirmed: "Nowadays, many people sell their courtyard houses to go abroad. Do you think it's a good idea?"

Li Heng answered promptly: "Of course, you have to trust my judgment."

Li Lan actually believed him a little bit, because he was too successful and had brought about such a huge change to the Li family, which made her a little blindly follow this brother. "Then Chen Xiaomi and I will keep an eye on it."

Li Heng asked: "You and her have a good relationship now?"

Li Lan asked back: "You must be a fool to ask such a question. She is useful to me, why don't you build a good relationship with her?"

Li Heng's eyelids twitched, "You really are the embodiment of power."

"Oh, she is not realistic either? If you were the same person you were a year ago, would she care about you?" Li Lan said bluntly.

Li Heng was speechless and admitted it.

Li Lan suddenly asked: "How does Chen Zijin taste?"

Li Heng was confused: "Why are you asking this?"

Li Lan asked meaningfully: "Do you still remember what you said in the first month?"

Li Heng recalled and shook his head: "What did you say?"

Li Lan said, "It's OK if you can't remember. Now that I have a good impression of Chen Zijin, I won't force you to sleep with Chen Xiaomi. Of course, if you have this habit, you can give me a hundred thousand or eighty thousand and I will help you."

"How can you be so incredible???" Li Heng was confused.

Looking at his second sister in front of him, he suddenly thought of someone, Liu Yue.

These two people have one very obvious thing in common: they are both extremely daring and speak without restraint.

Li Lan stretched lazily: "What? You took it seriously? Do you really think I like your 100,000 or 80,000? I just can't stand your philandering behavior, which really ruins the reputation of our Li family."

Li Heng didn't want to waste any more time talking to her and turned to leave.

"Wait." Li Lan called him.

Li Heng stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Lan reached out to him.

Li Heng glanced at him and said, "You want money?"

"Yes."

"You still have more than 2 yuan, why do you need more money?"

"It's different. This 2 yuan is for my family use. I can't embezzle it."

"Give me a reason?"

"The hush money is 200 for Song and 250 for Xiao."

"Oh, why are the prices different?" Li Heng asked.

"I've met these two women. I have a feeling that Song Yu is not easy to sow discord, so the price has to be lower. As for Xiao Han, she doesn't seem to be a good person at first glance. She should be the same type of person as me. With my ability to fan the flames, I can definitely make her and Chen Zijin quarrel endlessly, so the price has to be higher." Li Lan gave her own reasons.

Li Heng refused: "No."

Li Lan said: "If you don't give it to me, I will take Chen Zijin to the town to go shopping every day when I go home for the New Year. I will go shopping in front of Xiao's house and call her sister-in-law or something like that."

Li Heng didn't care: "Xiao Han is much smarter than you think. If she can be fooled by your calling her sister-in-law, I will take your surname."

Li Lan asked: "What if I call Xiao Han "brother-in-law" in person?"

Li Heng: “.”

This old man is so despicable.

But he was not threatened. "If you want some pocket money, just tell me. Threatening me is impossible."
