When he met someone like his stepmother, Tao Xueming himself felt very helpless.

If it weren't for his dad here, he wouldn't have gone out and come back, and there is no place for him to remember anyway.

blames my father for being a soft-hearted person, even if he knows that his stepmother is a snob, and he doesn't treat them as human beings at all, he is willing to stay.

According to Dad's words, when their family was in difficulty, it was the stepmother who did not dislike him and let him be his son-in-law, and gave him a bite to eat, so that the father and son survived.

When the spring water reciprocates, people cannot have no conscience.

So no matter how noisy the stepmother is, Dad can endure it silently.

After that, the matter of the stepmother drinking medicine soon spread in the village, and relatives, friends, and neighbors in the village all discussed in private, saying that their father and son were bullying the mother and daughter.

I was forced to drink all the medicine.

The rhetoric in the countryside is the most terrifying, and many people don't know what the truth is, and they think it's true when they hear only a few words.

As the day passed, almost the entire village thought that their father and son were white-eyed wolves, not good things.

The gossip simply doesn't stop.

At around seven or eight o'clock in the evening, Tao Xueming packed up his things and prepared to leave.

He knew that this family couldn't stay any longer, and when he saw the mother-in-law, his heart was panicked.

I went back to the county seat as soon as possible to make money, and when I made money, I quickly left with my father.

After saying goodbye to his father, Tao Xueming carried a small burden and walked to the county seat on foot.

It was cold outside, freezing hands, feet and necks.

In the night, Tao Xueming's figure disappeared into the cold wind.

Shortly after he left, a small car entered the village all the way up.

After three inquiries, I finally found Tao Xueming's house.

At this time, Cai'e had just returned from a friend's house and was surprised to see a car parked in front of her house.

"Excuse me, is this Tao Xueming's house?"

The girl who got out of the car asked.

Cai'e blinked: "Who are you?"

"Hello girl, my name is Li Cui, and this is a friend of mine, is Xiao Taozi here, I have something to do with him. ”

Li Cui said anxiously.

Cai'e rolled her eyes, thinking that these two people who came in a car must be very rich.

That guy, how could he know such a capable person.

"Mom, come out for a while. She shouted.

"Daughter, what's wrong?"

When the stepmother came out of the room, she saw her daughter coming in with two strangers, and she was very puzzled.

"Mom, these two people are from the county seat and drive a car. ”

Hearing her daughter's words, the stepmother's face was shocked, the county town drove a car, it must be very rich.

"Come in and sit down and drink your saliva. ”

The stepmother had a warm smile on her face, and after entering the house, she hurriedly poured water for the two.

Li Cui was not in the mood to drink water, she glanced at the room, and then asked, "Auntie, is Xiao Taozi here, I have something to do with him." ”

The stepmother had a smile on her face: "What are you doing, what's the matter with him, I'm his mother, just tell me something." ”

Li Cui didn't know what the relationship between Tao Xueming's family was, she said with a bitter tone: "My dad has a little situation there, I want him to do a favor, is he there?"

The stepmother smiled and said, "What can he do as an ignorant child, tell me, maybe I can help." ”

Hearing this, Li Cui's friends suddenly became impatient, they are here to find Tao Xueming, not you.

"Cuicui, I don't think that kid is at home, let's go. ”

Li Cui smiled bitterly, she also felt that Tao Xueming was not at home.

"Auntie, we'll leave first if we have something, do you know where he is?"

After hearing this, the smile on her stepmother's face slowly disappeared, and she shook her head: "How do I know where that bastard kid went, or I'll say it when he comes back." ”

"Excuse me, we won't bother you so late......"

Li Cui and the two got up, walked out, and when they walked to the yard, they happened to meet Tao Xueming's father.

Dad was just about to speak, but stepmother glared back with a stern look.

Li Cui and the two drove away.

After they left, the stepmother snorted: "Your bastard son doesn't know what trouble he caused outside, and everyone came to the door in person." ”

"I can tell you clearly, old thing, if your son dares to owe debts or something outside, our family will not pay a penny, do you hear!"

There was a look of worry in Dad's eyes, how could his son be so smart, how could he owe money outside.

……

In the car, Li Cui didn't find Tao Xueming, she was already anxious, thinking of her father's situation, tears began to roll.

"It's okay, we're going back to find out, he's a teenager, where can he go. ”

"Thank you, Brother Liang. ”

Li Cui said very sadly: "He may know what happened to my dad, but now my dad is still unconscious, I'm afraid ......"

"It's okay, it's okay, we should believe the doctor's words, that teenage kid knows a. ”

Brother Liang comforted, put his hand on Li Cui's shoulder, and patted it lightly.

Li Cui kept her head down, thinking about the hospital in her head.

Suddenly, there was a figure on the road ahead, and Brother Liang hurriedly turned the steering wheel.

"Damn, I'm blind, I don't hide when a car comes. ”

"Cuicui, you're fine, there was a person walking in the middle just now, and I almost hit him to death. ”

Brother Liang said very angrily.

Li Cui shook her head and said it was okay.

"Damn, you don't know how to drive. ”

Tao Xueming looked at the car with a depressed face, such a big person walking in the middle of the road, he couldn't see it.

If you were hit just now, you would definitely be run over directly.

In this era, they were killed by collisions, 100 percent of which were dumped on the side of the road, and then it would be many days before the bodies were found.

Tao Xueming secretly thought that he had to be careful, now the law is not complete, the people are fierce, and killing individuals can't solve the case.

Be very careful not to capsize in the gutter.

More than an hour later, Li Cui arrived at the county seat first, he looked around for Tao Xueming, and also searched the coal factory, but there was no one.

went to the bathhouse, knocked on the door, and woke Bao Zhipeng up, Bao Zhipeng said that he had not returned to the village yet.

Li Cui was sad, she had already been to the village, but the people were not there, where did she go.

"Cuicui, we can't find anyone, let's go to the hospital, let's spend money to invite experts from other places. ”

Brother Liang said.

Li Cui sighed, now it can only be like this, no matter what, it is better to believe in a doctor than to believe in a teenage child.

The two then drove away.

The two walked for about 20 minutes, and Tao Xueming came back from outside tired, opened the door and entered the house.

"Hey, you're back?"

Bao Zhipeng said in surprise.

"I came back from a night walk, and it's almost twelve o'clock in the morning. ”

Tao Xueming said.

"Sleep, I'm so sleepy......" Bao Zhipeng turned his head and lay down.

Tao Xueming also hurriedly got into the bed, and after closing his eyes, his mind was full of stepmother and family affairs.

But before I knew it, I fell asleep.

Early in the morning of the second day, the two got up early and continued to operate.

Twenty minutes after the door opened, people came to take a bath, and by about twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the men's and women's bathhouses were full.

In just one morning, a hundred yuan was about to be credited to the account, and Tao Xuemingle couldn't close his mouth.

At about one o'clock, Tao Xueming and Bao Zhipeng had lunch together, steamed buns and pickles, with a bowl of white porridge.

"By the way, last night, Sister Cuicui came to you with a man, and she didn't say anything. ”

Bao Zhipeng said.

Tao Xueming was very surprised, why did Li Cui come to find him.

Could it be because of Director Li's business?

It shouldn't be the case, if it is related to Director Li, the other party will go to the house to find himself, it shouldn't be the case.

At this time, it was time to take a bath outside, and Tao Xueming hurriedly walked over: "A few big brothers, I'm sorry, I'm hiding it now, or I'll ...... in the afternoon."

Bang!

A strong man in the lead kicked over a table, startling Tao Xueming.

"Brothers, they are short of money, so let's take a few dozen yuan to save the emergency. ”

The leading man looked at him with a smirk.

"Buns, bring twenty. ”

Bao Zhipeng hurriedly took out a twenty from the drawer, Tao Xueming took it in his hand, and then handed it to the man.

"Brother, twenty is enough, buy a pack of cigarettes to smoke. ”

Tao Xueming said with a smile on his face, now a pack of cigarettes is only one or two yuan, and twenty can cost several days.

"Boy, your eyesight is good. ”

The leading man laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "In the future, your bathhouse will be covered by my Fei Ge, and if you have any trouble, report my name." ”

"Brothers, walking......"

Phineas went out with a few of his younger brothers.

The smile on Tao Xueming's face slowly disappeared.

"Taozi, you're crazy, why give them twenty!"

Afterwards, Bao Zhipeng said angrily.

"Then what, you're going to fight them?"

Tao Xueming said lightly: "We are only in our teens, we are both about 1.6 meters tall, and our legs are not as thick as other people's arms. ”

"If we fight, we are living sandbags and will be killed. ”

"And the guy named Fei Ge knows someone in the institute, and he understands it all in black and white. ”

"In the future, give him twenty dozen a day, and try not to hurt the harmony. ”

Bao Zhipeng looked at him speechlessly and said, "Taozi, why are you so cowardly, twenty a day, that month is six hundred." ”

"Six hundred, that's more than half a year's salary for others, you just gave it to others for nothing, I'm not convinced!"

Tao Xueming patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said: "You are still young, you don't understand the world of adults yet, you must be patient when you should be patient, otherwise you will ......"

"Hmph, I can't swallow this breath anyway. Bao Zhipeng turned around and went to the boiler room.

Tao Xueming sighed helplessly, Baozi, this is not cowardice, it's just that you don't understand it yet.

There is no benefit to fighting hard with this kind of social person, there is everything if it has something to do with this era, in this small county, even if you only know a small captain, you can cover the sky with one hand.

If you want the bathhouse to continue, you have to be wronged.
