After Zhao Rong said those words, Gong Yu didn't have any disgust in his heart at all, he didn't think that Zhao Rong said such a thing because he was suspicious and speculative about his own family background, or he wanted to use silver to pass his time. Because he knew that Zhao Rong had a very light view of money because of his family's habits.

So much so that since the two met, Zhao Rong never said anything about repaying the money. But from his grateful gaze, and the words afterward, it can be faintly revealed that this little brother has already calculated, and he will definitely return to himself in the future, or use other methods to thank him for his kindness in helping today.

This was originally something that the two of them didn't say, but they both knew it. And now, because of listening to what he just said, the little brother suddenly realized that his family might not be as rich as he imagined, so he said such a thing from the heart.

How could Gong Yu care about what he said, after all, the meaning of the little brother was also obvious, he wanted to be able to help himself, instead of being high up to the rich, wanting to repay the friendship with money, thinking about spending some silver to avoid others from climbing.

So after listening to Zhao Rong's words, Gong Yu didn't have any adverse reactions, but the smile in his eyes became deeper and deeper. Seeing that Zhao Rong was still eagerly waiting for his answer, Gong Yu finally shook his head and continued to tell him how his family had spent those difficult days.

"Little brother, don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly. The main reason why my family is so difficult all of a sudden is because my father was injured while working outside the home and was sent back. suddenly lost his father's income outside, and the grain produced by the family's few acres of thin fields was far from enough to feed the family. ”

Speaking of the few acres of land at home, in fact, Gong Yu was still angry in his heart, those acres of land were originally too barren, and they had actually been barren for several years. And when the family was separated, the uncle took a few acres of wasteland and sent his family away.

Even though my mother used a lot of effort and diligently cultivated those few acres of thin fields every day, the output was really unsatisfactory. After a year of hard work, at the time of harvest in the autumn of each year, the food brought back is not enough for the family to eat for several months.

It was because of this situation that when his father was injured outside and sent back, the family lost the income of his father's work outside, and life became difficult all of a sudden. What's more, when my father came home injured, he still needed to keep seeing a doctor and taking medicine, and the family's savings were quickly spent.

Thinking of those hard days, Gong Yu couldn't help but exhale softly. "At that time, my father had to take medicine every day. But even so, his condition is getting worse and worse. The family sold all the things that could be sold for money, but my father's illness did not improve, and later even reached the brink of life and death. ”

mentioned that when his father was seriously ill, Gong Yu remembered how hateful his uncle's family was. At that time, my mother abandoned all her dignity, and in order for my father to live, she had to go to the door of the uncle's house to beg, hoping that the uncle would lend her some copper plates. No matter what, he should buy a few taels of medicine and come back, so that my father can survive the difficulties. But the ruthless uncle's family let their mother beg at the gate for a night.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Gong Yu continued to say in a flat tone: "At that time, everyone in the family tried their best to make money. In order to be able to buy life-saving medicine for my father. Naturally, the eldest brother couldn't continue to study in the private school.

Although the eldest brother's tuition was paid early that year, the eldest brother still gave up the opportunity to study in a private school, but ran outside every day, at first to help people write letters and copy books to earn some copper plates, and later, the burden on the family became heavier and heavier, so the eldest brother ran to the dock to carry goods for people, just to be able to earn a few more copper plates back. “

At this time, Gong Yu once again described the hard life of his family at that time, and his tone was much calmer, and his tone did not fluctuate, as if the kind of difficult situation he said was actually a normal thing.

But these words, when they heard Zhao Rong's ears, were no less than a thunderbolt. He never imagined that someone's life would be so hard. And this person actually let himself instinctively give up his vigilance and trust Brother Gong.

Although he knew intellectually that what Brother Gong was talking about was what happened in his family before, and he was also very aware that it could be seen from Brother Gong's current clothes and behavior that his family must be doing well now.

But in his heart, Zhao Rong uncontrollably mentioned a heart for Brother Gong, and he felt that his heart seemed to be grasped by a big hand, constantly rubbing, and he felt a burst of sourness in his heart.

The smiling and extremely reliable Brother Gong in front of him, who couldn't help but want to get close, actually lived such a difficult life, he couldn't help but hold his hands tightly, put them on his chest, and nervously asked: "Brother Gong, what were you doing at that time?"

Zhao Rong asked this question very carefully, he knew that with what he got along with Brother Gong, in the past half a day, although he got along with Brother Gong, most of it was out of his nature and he didn't think too much, but with his understanding for half a day, he knew that if Brother Gong's family had experienced such a hard time, then at that time, Brother Gong's life must have been very difficult.

This is not only because his family is very hard, and there is no way to provide good material conditions for Brother Gong, but because Brother Gong is a responsible and responsible person, and at that time, he will never watch the rest of the family work hard to earn money.

Even at that time, the age of wanting to come to the palace should not be very old, but he must be here, doing his best to help the family. Thinking of this, Zhao Rong felt that his heart was about to be shattered by that big hand.

At this time, Zhao Rong's eyes were already blurred with tears, but he still endured it and didn't dare to shed tears. He knew that Brother Gong was definitely not talking about these past events to make himself sympathize with him, so these tears could not flow out.

But Zhao Rong was still very distressed in his heart, at that time, the young Brother Gong, thinking about it, he must have suffered a lot. Although Brother Gong never talked about how he spent his days during that time, instinctively, Zhao Rong knew that Brother Gong's life would definitely not be better than that of his family.
