Chapter 1082, Is this it?

Li Xiangqian gave a bitter smile, but a sour feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that he was indeed a little stubborn, but he also knew that there were some things he could not compromise on. He was not the kind of person who could watch others being bullied and remain indifferent.

That night, Li Xiangqian lay on the kang, tossing and turning but unable to fall asleep. The scene that happened during the day and Zhang Guifang's words kept appearing in his mind. He began to reflect on whether he was too impulsive? Should he learn to be more tactful and mind his own business?

But the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He felt that if he didn't even care about such things, what was the point of living? He didn't want to be a person who only cared about himself. That was not him.

The sky gradually brightened. Li Xiangqian had hardly slept all night. He got up from the kang, washed up briefly, and prepared to walk around the yard. The air outside was very fresh, and the yard was still wet with a hint of morning dew. He saw He Yuzhu squatting in the corner of the yard smoking, with a somewhat lonely expression on his face.

"Yuzhu, good morning." Li walked over and greeted him.

He Yuzhu raised his head and saw that it was him. He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Li, thank you for last night. If it weren't for you, I really don't know how I would get out of this situation."

"What are you thanking me for?" Li Xiangqian waved his hand, "We are all neighbors, it's only natural for us to help each other."

He Yuzhu sighed and whispered, "You don't know, Liu Guangfu is a vindictive man. After you humiliated him yesterday, he probably won't let it go. I'm afraid he will cause trouble for me again in the future."

"What are you afraid of?" Li Xiangqian patted his shoulder. "If he really dares to cause trouble again, I'll take the blame for you!"

He Yuzhu looked at him gratefully, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes: "Brother Li, did your sister-in-law scold you for this?"

Li Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile: "She is indeed unhappy. She is afraid that I will cause trouble, and it is also for the good of this family."

"What my sister-in-law said makes sense." He Yuzhu sighed, "Life is not easy for people like us, so we should endure it for a while."

"Tolerate?" Li Xiangqian frowned. "Some things can be tolerated, and some things cannot be tolerated. If you always tolerate, others will only take advantage of you."

He Yuzhu lowered his head and remained silent. He knew that Li Xiangqian was right, but he really didn't want to cause any more trouble. His life was already hard enough, and he really didn't want to cause more trouble.

The morning sun shone through the shadows of the trees in the courtyard, and the courtyard gradually became lively. Li Xiangqian had just finished cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen and was about to sit down to rest for a while when he suddenly heard footsteps outside. He looked up and saw Yi Zhonghai striding in.

Yi Zhonghai is a respected person in the courtyard. Although he is not young, he is strong and works hard. He usually takes good care of Li Xiangqian, and the two can be considered acquaintances. At this moment, Yi Zhonghai's face is full of anxiety, as if he has something to say.

"Xiang Qian, are you busy?" Yi Zhonghai said as he sat directly on the small bench in the yard.

"I just finished cleaning up. What's the matter, Uncle Yi?" Li Xiangqian quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

Yi Zhonghai took a sip of tea and sighed, "Well, the factory asked me to go pick up a batch of goods, but my legs have been a bit ailing lately, and I can't walk properly. Are you free? Come with me."

Li Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, no problem. It just so happens that I have nothing to do these two days."

"Okay then!" Yi Zhonghai slapped his thigh, "I knew you were reliable. We have to hurry up, the goods have to be delivered today, and it will be hard to explain if we are late."

"No problem, I'll change my clothes right away." Li Xiangqian turned around and went back to the house, simply changed into a set of durable clothes, and grabbed a hat and put it on.

When he came out, Yi Zhonghai was already waiting at the gate. The two of them walked out of the door one after the other and walked along the street. On the way, Yi Zhonghai talked with Li Xiangqian about the goods.

"This batch of goods is parts ordered by the factory, and they are very important. I received the notice yesterday, but you also know that I have an old leg problem and I really can't run anymore." Yi Zhonghai sighed.

Li Xiangqian nodded, but he was thinking in his heart. He knew that Yi Zhonghai was a strong-willed person, and he would not ask for help easily. But today he took the initiative to ask for help, which seemed to be a big deal.

"Uncle Yi, where can I pick up this batch of goods?" Li Xiangqian asked.

"It's in a warehouse outside the city, not too close to here." Yi Zhonghai looked back at him, "Be careful on the road. I heard recently that someone is specifically targeting this kind of goods and is blocking the road to steal things."

Li Xiangqian felt a little nervous when he heard this. He was not a coward, but he subconsciously became alert when he heard this kind of news. He nodded: "Don't worry, Uncle Yi, I'm here, we will definitely bring the goods back safely."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Good boy, I feel relieved when you say this."

The two walked all the way to the warehouse. The weather was getting hotter. There was an old truck parked at the door of the warehouse, and several workers were loading the goods. Yi Zhonghai and Li Xiangqian walked over, gave a few brief instructions, and began to check the goods.

Li Xiangqian worked for a while, but he felt a little uneasy. He felt that Yi Zhonghai's words were not groundless, and this batch of goods might really be in trouble. He looked around carefully and found that there was nothing unusual outside the warehouse, so he was relieved.

"Xiang Qian, please keep an eye on these parts for me. I'm going to go and handle the formalities." Yi Zhonghai instructed.

"Okay, go ahead and I'll watch here." Li Xiangqian agreed readily.

After Yi Zhonghai left, Li Xiangqian stood by the truck, looking around from time to time. He noticed that there were a few strangers standing in a corner not far away, seemingly whispering to each other. He was moved and pretended to move closer to listen to what they were saying.

"Is this the batch of goods?" a tall and thin man said in a low voice.

"It's probably true. We have to act quickly so that no one can find out." Another short and fat man replied.

Li Xiangqian's heart was immediately alarmed. He knew that these people must have bad intentions, so he immediately turned back to the truck and clenched his fists secretly. He did not move, but just stood there quietly, his eyes always fixed on those people.

After a while, Yi Zhonghai came back. He saw that Li Xiangqian looked unhappy and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"Uncle Yi, there might be trouble." Li Xiangqian briefly explained what had happened.

Yi Zhonghai's expression suddenly changed. He pondered for a moment and whispered, "We have to leave quickly. We can't stay here for long."

The two hurriedly loaded the goods, Li Xiangqian jumped into the driver's seat and started the truck. Yi Zhonghai sat in the passenger seat with a serious look. The car slowly drove out of the warehouse, and Li Xiangqian saw through the rearview mirror that the men had indeed followed.
