Villain Rescue System - Chapter 142

Li Li was quick. After two hours of work after eating, the rest of the land was almost finished.

“Uncle, is there any other work?”

“It’s done! Go back and rest.”

When he was about to pack up, Wen Honghai asked, “Hey young man, what’s your name? You seem to be from the village, but I haven’t seen you before.”

Li Li smiled, “My name is Li Li, I live in the same village, probably four or five alleys away from you.”

“Li Li…” Wen Honghai frowned.

He heard of that name…

“I don’t like to go out, I stay at home when I’m not working, it’s normal if you haven’t seen me before.”

Wen Honghai didn’t hear the second part of his sentence, but just pondered over the name “Li Li”.

He remembered! Li Guifang said a few words about him.

Li Guifang had always been reluctant to talk to him about family affairs, big or small, and felt that it was useless as he couldn’t help.

So two days ago when she talked about finding a son-in-law for Wen Long, she only said a few words.

But that matter was not small. Even though he didn’t say much, Wen Honghai still kept it in his heart.

Li Li’s name, wasn’t it the same as the name of the person who rejected Mrs. Wang?

He looked at Wen Long immediately, and said in a low voice, “Longlong, didn’t your mother ask Mrs. Wang to ask someone…”

Wen Long was silent for a moment, then nodded.

“Well, that’s the name.”

Li Li frowned.

Why did they react as if they heard of him?

‘Longlong’ sounded familiar, and Mrs. Wang…

Thinking of something, his heart suddenly dropped.

No way!

Wen Long raised her eyes, as if she had seen through what he was thinking.

Li Li’s lips turned pale in an instant, “…You, your name is Wen Long?”

“Yeah.”

Li Li couldn’t even speak.

He recalled the stupid things he had said to Matchmaker Wang. The more beautiful, the more expensive…

Had Matchmaker Wang told her about it? What was her reaction when she heard that?

Li Li didn’t dare to think about it.

He thought it was okay when he said it, but now that he thought about it, it felt so insulting.

“I didn’t mean that, I just…” Li Li’s tongue started to get knotted inexplicably, and he couldn’t come up with a decent reason.

For the first time in his life, he complained in his heart that he was mean-spirited and ruthless in his speech.

Wen Long was very calm, “It’s okay. I don’t know you either, so it’s fine if you refuse.”

Li Li’s complexion became even worse, “I didn’t know it was you.”

A trace of mischief flashed in Wen Long’s eyes, “So what if you knew it was me?”

“If I knew it’s you—” Li Li’s voice stopped abruptly.

She was right… So what if he knew it was her?’

Could he still agree to the marriage? Didn’t he always ignore that aspect?

So, why was he panicking?

Wen Honghai stood aside in embarrassment.

If it were an ordinary father, knowing that the man in front of him had once rejected his daughter, he should be a little angry. But he didn’t respond, and even wanted to be a peacemaker.

“Li Ge is here,” Wen Long looked at Brother Li who was running over.

Li Li’s mind was in a mess at the moment, so he reluctantly responded, “Then we’ll go back too?”

“…Okay.”

Li Li finished the remaining work in his field before returning home.

Instead of cooking first, he went straight into the bedroom.

He opened the closet and pulled out a stack of photo albums from the bottom shelf under the closet.

The album used to be full of group photos of his mother and the family of four, but he took them out and threw them away, replacing them with ten-yuan bills.

In a photo album, there were almost fifty photo compartments. Thirty or forty sheets were scattered in other places.

A total of nearly 900 yuan was definitely a huge sum of money that could make people greedy.

Li Li looked at the photo album, which was very easy to be jealous of, but there was no disturbance in his heart.

When he was eleven years old, his mother left Lijia Village with his brother who was five years younger than him.

At the beginning, he was sad about it, hiding at home and crying every day.

It wasn’t until the day when the last money at home ran out and he was about to faint from hunger that he realized that food and money that could fill his stomach were more important than those useless feelings.

In that era when there was a possibility of starvation, no one in the village dared to take care of a child his age.

He had no choice but to stop studying. Working in the fields with others, he earned less than a dime a day, but at least it was a job.

After that, he learned to farm his own land. Because of his young age, he was cheated several times by the village’s heads.

He had tried all kinds of ways to earn money, until then…

He had a habit of saving money. Once he had enough change for ten yuan, he would change them into one note, and then save them.

But the money in the photo album, without exception, had never been taken out since the day it was put in.

In thirteen or fourteen years, he slowly saved so much.

That money was enough for him to spend his whole life.
