Chapter 32: They Are All Jealous Monsters(1/2)

In the evening, Lin Xing took a bag of guavas and walked towards Li Zhikun's home.

His home is next to the badminton hall. He won't have class tonight and specially invited Lin Xing to dinner.

Li Zhikun and Li Yinwei's parents divorced early and started their own families. They chose not to follow anyone, and the two brothers and sisters lived together and depended on each other.

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Xing smelled the aroma of cooking coming from inside the house.

Li Yinwei walked out of the kitchen with a fruit platter in her hand. When she saw Lin Xing, her eyes lit up and she greeted her warmly.

"You came on time. My brother will cook another dish."

She was dressed up carefully, wearing a beautiful little floral suspender skirt, looking pretty and cute.

Lin Xing didn't squint as he handed a bag of guava to Li Yinwei.

"Take it to wash and eat."

After Li Yinwei took one look at the guava, she immediately shook her head and said, "Come as soon as you come, what other fruits do you want to bring?"

I bought all the fruits and selected the best imported fruits from the department store.

Well, it's all washed.

Imported grapes, imported blueberries, and a durian."

Lin Xing said: "It's okay. I'll give you a taste. You can take it and cut it together."

"Then we'll do it after dinner."

Li Yinwei took the bag and placed it on a stool, seemingly planning to return it to Lin Xing later.

At this time, Li Zhikun walked out of the kitchen carrying two plates of food.

"Here we come."

Li Yinwei placed the fruit platter on the coffee table next to her and helped bring out the vegetables.

"Sit down quickly and have some soup first."

Li Yinwei diligently scooped up a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Lin Xing.

"This is fish maw stewed in chicken soup. I soaked the fish maw for a long time and cut it into small pieces. It tastes very good. You can replenish it."

Lin Xing sat down and took a look. There were several plates of delicious, delicious and tasty dishes on the table.

Steamed turbot, stir-fried pumpkin with dried shrimps, stir-fried bacon with tender bamboo shoots, stir-fried cabbage with minced garlic, and the fish maw stewed chicken soup that Li Yinwei mentioned, four dishes and one soup.

Seeing these dishes, Lin Xing couldn't help but remember that when his grandfather was here, he would make these home-cooked dishes during the Chinese New Year and holidays, and a feeling of warmth filled his heart.

Li Zhikun introduced him: "These spring bamboo shoots were dug from the mountains of a golfer's home, and this bacon was made by another golfer's parents.

The shrimps are dried by a golfer from my hometown at the beach, and the fish maws are bought by him from an acquaintance, and they are of good quality."

Li Yinwei kept putting vegetables in Lin Xing's bowl.

"This is delicious, eat more."

Lin Xing had no choice but to immerse himself in eating. Apart from the soup in the soup bowl, there was already a small mountain-like pile of food on top of his rice bowl.

The corners of Li Zhikun's eyes twitched, and he stopped Li Yinwei's hand from continuing to pick up vegetables.

"Let Lin Xing finish the food in the bowl first. What's the rush?"

Li Yinwei stuck out her tongue playfully and stopped using her chopsticks.

Li Zhikun poured a glass of Coke for Lin Xing, raised the cup in his hand and said to him: "Lin Xing, I know you don't drink, and I don't drink either.

Let’s use Coke instead of a bar. This is my toast to you!

Thank you for your generous help today.

Huber's body has been checked all over, and the results of many items have basically come out. There is nothing wrong with his body.

He asked me to express his gratitude to you."

Lin Xing clinked the glasses with him and said calmly.

"Brother Zhikun, it's really nothing, how can you still ignore it?"

Li Yinwei interjected.

"Don't tell me, there are people who refuse to save themselves and even add insult to injury.

For example, that Li Guangsheng, even if he doesn't help, he is still making sarcastic remarks and wants us to reduce the number of students and close the arena business."

Li Zhikun snorted.

"This is not the first day he has caused trouble in the arena. He comes here to make trouble no matter what. He has no good intentions.

This is how it is in the village. If you do any business, you feel that you are making money.

Everyone is jealous and eager to see you doing well. Seeing that you are not doing well will make them feel better."

Li Yinwei was still unhappy.

"I know, but he is very hateful."

Li Zhikun looked at Lin Xing.

"I heard that after your grandfather passed away, the village committee came to talk to you about the hilltop he rented. Did it embarrass you?"

Lin Xing smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that the news has spread quite widely.

The village committee said I had no inheritance rights and asked me to pay 120,000 yuan to renew the lease."

Li Yinwei said angrily.

"This is simply gangster logic!

Who doesn't know that you are your grandfather's grandson? Everyone in Wutong Village knows that your grandfather planted the orchard to give you a wife.

What kind of village committee is this? They are really bullying people."

Li Zhikun frowned.

"I heard that this matter was brought up by Li Guangsheng. The father and son wanted to make money from it, and they were crazy about money.

They have already found the next person to rent the hilltop. I heard that they only give the village committee 5,000 yuan every year.

Maybe, he colluded with them in private and gave him a big red envelope."

Lin Xing's face turned ugly, only then did he learn these details.

Damn Li Guangsheng.

Li Yinwei said angrily: "It's too dark!

We should file a lawsuit with the village committee, and the lease renewal fee of 120,000 yuan should not be given to them."

Li Zhikun pinched his eyebrows.

"My sister, you have lost your mind by studying.

A strong dragon cannot withstand a local snake. Alas, what's more, Grandpa Lin Xing did not do the legal notarization and left the hilltop designation to Lin Xing.

If a lawsuit breaks out, Lin Xing will be the one who suffers the loss, and he can't afford to waste time and energy with them."

Li Yinwei sighed, looked at Lin Xing, and asked cautiously: "Lin Xing, can you raise the money? One hundred and twenty thousand is a lot."

Lin Xing could feel the brother and sister's concern for him, and his heart felt warm.

"We're still raising money, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

I was afraid that they would not renew the lease even after taking 120,000 yuan in rent, and would come up with various conditions to ruin my good fortune.

Li Guangsheng has disliked me since I was a child and will not let me go along with my wishes."

Li Zhikun thought for a while.

"Let me talk to Huber about this.

Uncle Huber is the old man we rescued today.

He is the former old district chief and retired a few years ago, so he should still have some connections."

Lin Xing nodded.

"Zhikun, please help me."

They chatted happily while eating.

Li Zhikun's cooking skills were good, and Lin Xing enjoyed his meal very much. He had been making do with what he had eaten these days.

After eating, Li Yinwei brought the plate of fruit over.

"Brother, go and take out the durian."

Lin Xing touched his belly and waved his hands repeatedly.

"I won't eat durian anymore, it's too full.

You cut the guava I brought to taste, it was picked from the fruit trees on the mountain."

Li Zhikun smiled.
