Chapter 402 Xu Family Plan

Li Ming looked at Yan Jiecheng's data on the hatred value list and couldn't help but sigh, "You are really a troublemaker! If things go wrong, I won't even have to deal with you, and you will be eaten up by Xu Damao."

He could only say that when it came to making trouble, he, Li Ming, was willing to call Yan Jie number one!

Backyard, Xu Damao's house.

Xu Damao went back into the house with a cold face. Yu Li was still making matchboxes. She was a frugal girl. She had never stopped working since she took on this job.

"Da Mao is back. How's it going? Any progress?" Yu Li put down the work in her hands and naturally handed Xu Damao a cup of hot water. She also took off his cotton jacket so that he could sit by the stove.

Xu Damao's face was uncertain, but he still nodded, "I have some clues, but I don't know how to do it."

There was a hint of surprise in Yu Li's eyes. She really didn't expect Xu Damao to come up with any solution. After all, their family was very worried about this trivial matter.

You think he was a hooligan? The bastard didn't do anything! You think he was pursuing her normally? But the problem is that he had rejected her eight hundred times. The bastard Yan Jiecheng was just trying to ruin her sister's reputation!

Xu Damao pondered for a while and then told what Li Ming had said, oh, the hint, but he did not say that it was Li Ming who gave the hint.

But Yu Li was not a fool. After Xu Damao finished speaking, she had an idea in her mind.

Xu Damao had no one to discuss things with in the courtyard, except Li Ming. Xu Damao couldn't think of such a solution for a while, so Li Ming had to be the one. However, Yu Li drew a red line for Li Ming in her heart. This was not someone their family could afford to offend. In the future, they could only make friends with him, not with him.

She can't be like the Yan family in the front yard, who have no reliable operations every other day. She has been married to the Siheyuan for so long, and she has heard a lot about the things that happened in the Siheyuan before. Now she knows everything!

"Set a trap?"

Xu Damao nodded rather depressedly, "But I don't know how to do it?"

Yu Li rolled her eyes in annoyance and said, "Let's discuss it, but how far do you plan to go?"

Xu Damao was no longer depressed, and a ruthless look appeared on his face. "I know exactly what kind of person Yan Jiecheng is. I can only beat him to death with a stick. I absolutely cannot let him reflect on his mistakes. Otherwise, there will be trouble in the future!"

"Then let's think of a way."

Xu Damao and his wife leaned against the roaring stove, working non-stop with their hands, and then began an in-depth discussion.

Li Ming didn't know, and he wouldn't care even if he knew. Compared to what method Xu Damao used, he wanted to know what kind of ending Xu Damao could bring to Yan Jiecheng!

Since the plot line is already messed up, it might as well be messed up more thoroughly. At least it won't affect Jia Dongxu's reincarnation next year.

He was not sure whether next year would be the year for Jia Dongxu's reincarnation, but now that he was here, the plot was messed up. Even if next year was not the original year for Jia Dongxu's reincarnation, it would probably be almost the same.

He doesn't have enough to eat and doesn't sleep well. He has a delicious juicer at home that keeps juicing. It would be a rare thing if Jia Dongxu could live two more years!

"Tomorrow is Laba Festival, and it's time to cook porridge again." Mother Li looked at her son and eldest daughter with a smile. They are all labor force, extremely precious labor force.

The three people who were eating paused at the same time, as if the video playback was stuck. Then, they put down their bowls at the same time, turned their heads to look towards a corner, and nodded.

"Eat quickly, eat more!"

"Girl, give me a steamed bun!"

"I'll get one for your dad too!"

Mother Li couldn't stop laughing as she watched the three people making noise in front of her. Although preparing Laba porridge was very tiring, it was undeniable that their family should be the most lively one in the courtyard.

And if nothing unexpected happens, I guess there won’t be many families in the entire courtyard who can make Laba porridge this year. Tsk tsk!

Chinese New Year is a top priority for the Chinese people. They usually start to get excited from the twelfth lunar month. People in Beijing are no exception. They start the first preparations for the New Year from the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Laba porridge is a must-drink on Laba Festival. Various coarse grains and beans are mixed together, steaming hot, which can both satisfy your appetite and thaw the cold. As the Beijing saying goes, "The seventh and eighth days of the twelfth lunar month are the coldest days of the year." This must be the coldest time of the year. In that era when there were only coal stoves and no warm winter, Laba porridge was the best delicacy.

People in Sijiucheng must pickle Laba garlic during the Laba Festival. Put the peeled garlic cloves into a sealable jar, bottle or other container, then pour in vinegar, seal the mouth and put it in a cold place.

Slowly, the garlic soaked in vinegar will turn green, and finally on the night of the 30th, it will become emerald green all over, like emerald jade. Eating dumplings on the night of the 30th will be really “nothing tastes better than dumplings and good garlic.”

Li Ming is peeling garlic now. It's so spicy. It's so damn spicy!

"Hey, Mingzi, do you want to call the two little guys from the outer courtyard? They are from the same courtyard, and they are both quite pitiful."

"They are still employees from your three divisions. Do you want to call them over to join in the fun?"

Mother Li was washing beans when she suddenly remembered this and asked.

Of course, the most important thing is that the two brothers of the Yan family have had a good relationship with their Li family over the past six months. Occasionally, when the Li family has something to do, the two brothers are very diligent and are willing to help. As a result, they have become more familiar with each other and their relationship has naturally become closer.

"Okay!" Li Ming agreed without thinking. Damn, it's time to find someone else to do the garlic peeling job!

After saying these two words, Li Ming walked out crying. As soon as he opened the door, a piercing cold wind blew.

"Boiled!"

With a creak, the door of the Wu family opposite was opened. Wu Xuanxuan, who opened the door, shivered subconsciously. It was so cold!

"Sister Xuanxuan? Are you going out and freezing too?" Li Ming said happily.

Wu Xuanxuan rolled her eyes in annoyance and said innocently, "You've seen it, and you're still asking?"

"Where are you going?" Li Ming closed the door. It would be much better if you had a companion when you are in trouble. At least Comrade Li Ming feels it is good now.

"Buy some candy, for the eight-treasure porridge, and some other things."

"Well, what else do you need to buy? Why don't you just come to my house and get it?" Li Ming spread his hands and said, "If you let Sister Xuanxuan go out for such a small matter, what if she gets cold?"

Chapter 403: Delivering Performance to the Police Station

"No, we need to buy more than just candy." Wu Xuanxuan waved her hand and walked out.

Li Ming was amused when he saw this. This girl was not the type to take advantage of others. It was mainly because her family was well off, so it was not worth it.

"Yan Xing Yan Wang!"

Li Ming was standing in the outer courtyard and shouted without entering the house. Two heads appeared from behind the thick cloth blanket.

"Brother? What's wrong?"

"Come in, brother!"

"Come on, come out quickly. My mom is asking you two brothers to come home and help make eight-treasure porridge so we can drink it early tomorrow morning." Li Ming waved his hand. It was so cold and he didn't want to be cold outside.

The brothers felt warm in their hearts, as they knew tomorrow was Laba Festival, but they couldn't make Laba porridge, and they didn't celebrate it very much every year. At most they would pickle some Laba garlic.

"Hey, come on, let's get dressed."

Yan Xing said something and took his brother back to the house. Within two minutes, the two brothers came out of the house wrapped in thick cotton-padded jackets.

"Hurry up, go back and warm up, it's too cold!"

"Go for a walk."

"It's just right. You two brothers can have a midnight snack tonight. This thing has been going on for quite a long time!" Li Ming shrank his neck, put his hands in his pockets, and walked quickly towards home.

The two brothers also followed happily. After moving into this courtyard, their life was pretty good. There was also a section chief who took care of them. This year they could finally live a lively life.

"Xiaoxing and Xiaowang are here, hurry up, sit down and warm yourself up first!" Mother Li couldn't help but laugh when she saw the two well-behaved children, "Ruirui, go get your two brothers a glass of water."

"I'll go right away!" The little girl was already tired of picking beans!

Comrade Li Weiguo also happily took out a bottle of wine from the cupboard and shook it at the brothers Yan Xing and Yan Wang, meaning that they should drink some more later!

Not only do these two brothers have a good relationship with Li Ming, but the other three members of the Li family also like them very much!

After a while of excitement, Wu Qiangguo hurried to the Li family. Before he could say hello, he spoke first, "Xuanxuan is not here?"

Li Ming was confused. "No, I saw Sister Xuanxuan at that time. Didn't she go out to buy candy?"

"Oh, this silly girl hasn't come back yet, I'm worried!"

When the men of the Li family heard this, they all wrapped themselves in thick cotton-padded jackets and followed Wu Qiangguo out. Suddenly, only Li's mother and Li Rui were left in the Li family.

"Come on, let's go across the street to see your Aunt Liu." Mother Li called her daughter and took Li Rui to the opposite door.

"Lao Wu, how long has it been?"

Wu Qiangguo was extremely anxious, and the anxiety on his face became more and more obvious. "An hour? Damn it, I should have known not to let Xuanxuan go out."

"Uncle, don't worry. Sister Xuanxuan said she wants to buy a lot of things. Maybe she has wasted time." Li Ming took two steps to catch up and comforted her.

Wu Qiangguo did not respond, and the group walked out faster. As for why Yan Xing and Yan Wang were so concerned, the two brothers were not stupid. The Wu family had a good relationship with the Li family, and they usually took good care of them.

Not to mention that they can see that Wu Xuanxuan and Li Ming are close. If things go wrong, she might become your sister-in-law in the future. Do you think they would not care?

The group came out of the alley and saw Wu Xuanxuan on the opposite side. However, there were two men in front of Wu Xuanxuan who stopped the girl and tried to make a move on her, forcing Wu Xuanxuan to retreat.

It's cold now and there are few people on the street, so it's not safe for a girl to be alone.

The eyes of this group of people turned red in an instant. Just as Wu Qiangguo and Li Weiguo were about to shout out, they saw that Li Ming was already approaching the two second-rate guys.

Yan Xing and Yan Wang who were following behind were even more confused. They actually saw Li Ming rushing out, but wasn't your speed a bit against the rules?

The two hooligans who were about to approach Wu Xuanxuan were preparing to attack, but they never expected that Li Ming who rushed out would kick them with great force and knock them over.

"Ouch!"

"Cao! Who is it?"

The two men lay on the ground and cursed.

Wu Xuanxuan just felt a flash before her eyes, and then the two men fell to the ground. When she looked again, Li Ming was standing in front of her.

"Sister Xuanxuan, please step back a little. I'm going to destroy these two unlucky guys first." Li Ming turned his head to look at Wu Xuanxuan and gave her a warning, then strode towards the two scoundrels.

At this moment, Wu Qiangguo and several others also came to Wu Xuanxuan and hurried to protect the girl.

Li Weiguo glanced in the direction of Li Ming and stood there obediently, which confused Wu Qiangguo and the Yan brothers.

"Old Li, what the hell are you standing there for?"

"Let's take care of these two bastards together!" Wu Qiangguo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his daughter was fine. Just as he was about to move forward, he saw Li Weiguo standing there calmly, not moving at all. The bastard even put a cigarette in his mouth.

Li Weiguo calmly lit up a cigarette, "It's none of our business. The two lying on the ground are no match for Mingzi. Just watch."

My goodness, their faces twitched when they heard this.

Seeing that they didn't believe him, Comrade Lao Li pointed at Li Ming and said, "Don't disbelieve me, even if there are two more, they are no match for Mingzi."

Yan Xing glanced at his younger brother and found that he nodded seriously, and was speechless.

"Xiao Wang, let's go over there!"

"Don't do that. Brother Li is extremely ruthless when he gets angry. I saw it clearly when I went to Dadahwang Village to rescue you last time. These two are definitely finished."

Before the two insiders could finish their words, one of the scoundrels over there let out a scream and quickly looked over there.

One of the skinny second-rate guys was kicked by Li Ming against the wall and slowly slid down.

Another one stood up and was about to run when Li Ming grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground. Several people couldn't help but shiver when they heard the sound of him falling to the ground.

Damn, it hurts just listening to it!

Li Ming stood in front of the man, stepped on his forehead and pressed down hard, "Which claw moved just now?"

The second-rate guy who was stepped on by Li Ming was mumbling to himself, unable to utter a single word. His mouth was facing the ground. What could you expect him to say?

Yan Xing and Wu Qiangguo finally reacted. They didn't know what it meant when they heard it just now, but now they understood.

"No need to say, that's good, then two."

As soon as Li Ming finished his words, he raised his other foot and stepped directly on the bastard's hands. With two "cracks", the bones on the palms of the slightly fat second-rate guy's hands were all broken.

"Old, Old Li, what about Mingzi?" Wu Qiangguo glanced at Comrade Li Weiguo and muttered.

Li Weiguo spread his hands and said, "Let's go, tie up this useless thing and send it to the police station later."

Chapter 404 Laba

"What about the other one?"

"The other Brother Li hasn't gotten his revenge yet." Yan Wang said, patting his chest.

It's really frightening every time I see it.

Li Ming kicked the fat guy under the feet of their group of people. Yan Xing and Yan Wang quickly lifted him up and took a look at his hands. Wow, the white bones were exposed. How miserable!

The two adults slapped the man twice more. That was not enough. Nowadays, it is okay to beat a gangster to death! The same thing happened when he was sent to the police station.

However, the one in their hands had already fainted, and the other one who had just slid down the wall and finally caught his breath wanted to run, but Li Ming held his head down again, "Don't any of you want to have a peaceful year!"
