Since the martial arts school was on holiday, Meng Qingshan booked a large table of food at Tongchun Tower.
This lunch was very sumptuous.
Although brothers Li Changshou and Su Zichuan come to the martial arts gym every day to practice, to be honest, it is the first time for the three of them to have such close contact with Meng Qingshan.
Facing the easy-going side of Meng the Captain, the three of them were a little flattered.
After having enough wine and food, Meng Qingshan also took out his homemade Tiger Bone Qi Boosting Wine for everyone to drink.
Both Li Qingshi and Wang Xiaohu knew it was good stuff, especially Li Qingshi and Kid, who drank several cups in a row and immediately blushed on their faces.
The formula of Tiger Bone Qi Boosting Wine has been changed by Meng Qingshan. The effect after taking it will only be stronger than before, but the stamina has also become greater.
Looking at Li Qingshi who was a little shaky, Meng Qingshan couldn't help but smile for a moment.
When the others saw this, they also took a sip, and they all felt a warm current spread from their stomachs to their whole bodies, and their whole bodies became hot and dry.
Meng Qingshan then said, "This wine will be beneficial to your practice. If you have nothing else to do, just meditate in the martial arts hall for a while Internal Cultivation. I think you will definitely gain a lot of money!"
After everyone heard this, they also understood that this wine was a rare treasure, so they each found a place and began to meditate Internal Cultivation.
Su Zichuan and Li Family Brothers felt that as the warm current in their bodies merged with True Qi, their cultivation effects were many times faster than usual. They were all in a happy mood and did not want to waste this rare opportunity.
The martial arts hall was quiet for a while, except for their slight breathing and the occasional sound of clothes rubbing against each other.
Time passed unconsciously, and when they opened their eyes again, the sky had completely darkened.
At this time, Li Changshou clearly felt that his cultivation of Introductory Heart Method had greatly improved. Looking at the wine, he actually wanted to drink another glass.
But now is obviously not the time to think about this. I went home later than usual today, and I'm afraid my parents will be worried.
He said goodbye directly to Meng Qingshan and went home. Meng Qingshan originally wanted to keep them for dinner, but seeing his resolute attitude, he no longer forced him. He only gave him a few bowls of hot food in a basket and let them go back.
Su Zichuan also followed the two of them out of the martial arts gym, and also suggested going to Night Market for a stroll in the city.
Although Li Changgeng was a little eager to give it a try and wanted to agree, he was rejected by Li Changshou.
The food in the basket is still hot now, but if we take a short walk around the city, it will definitely get cold in this weather.
So the three of them dispersed.
Li Changshou brothers trotted all the way to their home.
"Mom and Dad, Meng the Captain is treating us today. Look what we brought back!"
The two brothers carried the basket and happily walked into their own shabby courtyard.
However, the sight in front of them made their hearts tense: their mother was sitting on a chair and weeping silently, while their father was smoking a cigarette silently on the side. The eldest brother lowered his head dejectedly and said nothing. Only the second brother raised his head and glanced at them.
The atmosphere in the room seemed very solemn.
Li Changshou noticed something was wrong, so he asked, "Dad, mother, what's going on!"
The second brother Li Changlu said angrily, "Qiao Lao Er, who has lost his conscience, originally promised to marry her daughter after preparing a door-to-door gift of ten taels of silver. Today, my family is here. I want to ask about this marriage, but this Qiao Lao Er knows that his eldest brother and Sister Qiao are in love, yet he shamelessly raises the price to twenty taels of silver, how can it be like this!"
Li Changshou After hearing this, his brows suddenly tightened.
He understood that these twenty taels of silver were undoubtedly a huge sum of money for their family.
Their family was already living in poverty. Their father and two brothers worked hard every day, and their mother and grandmother often stayed up late to weave. After squeezing out all the available labor in the family, they could barely save ten taels of silver.
Now that Qiao Lao Er has suddenly increased its price, it is clear that it is because the big brother likes Miss Qiao and wants the lion to open his mouth.
"Mom, dad, don't worry, we are not asking for this marriage."
At this time, the eldest brother Li Changfu suddenly stood up and said firmly.
"Fu'er, it's no use to me. I can't help you." His father sighed with helplessness in his voice.
"Dad, please stop saying that..." Li Changfu's eyes were red, tears were rolling in his eyes, but he resisted not letting them fall.
Li Changshou looked at his eldest brother and father, feeling heartbroken.
At the same time, he secretly vowed in his heart that he would follow Qin Jinzhao as an example, practice harder, and seize this opportunity to change his destiny.
Thinking of this, Li Changshou suddenly remembered the Red Packet that Meng the Captain personally handed out to Changfeng Martial Arts School today.
He put down the basket in his hand, rummaged through his pockets, and finally found the Red Packet in the innermost layer.
He quickly opened the red rope that tied Red Packet, pulled it apart and poured it into his hand. There were several heavy pieces of silver inside.
