Chapter 59: Goodbye, Brother
All the people were shocked by Zhang Guilai's answer, and at the same time they all turned their eyes to the woman, at this time the woman was also in a semi-daze, her hand had been stopped in mid-air, she couldn't believe that Zhang Guilai would happily give her 50,000, Zhang Guilai was also heartbroken, he didn't expect this woman to be so kind to money, her husband was dead, but she only cared about money and didn't care about people!
Just now she was crying and scolding Zhang Guilai, Zhang Guilai looked at the woman with disdain when he thought of this, presumably this woman should be very happy at this time! You must know that 50,000 yuan is not a lot of money, it's not that Zhang Guilai looks down on this dead thief, even if he steals things for a lifetime, the total value will not exceed 50,000.

Of course, in those days, who would have thought about inflation in the future?
Zhang Guilai didn't have so much money on hand, and his cash plus savings were only more than 30,000 points, and in the end there was really no way, so he had to transfer the ownership of the small shop to this woman. However, a few days later, he heard from a few good friends that BJ had a better chance of development, so he resolutely set out on the journey to the north.
When Li Ergou listened to Zhang Gui talk about this, the sweat on his body had not been done from the beginning to the end, especially when Zhang Gui talked about the details of using iron wire to penetrate the tongue of the little thief, it made Li Ergou tremble.
After listening to Zhang Guilai's narration, Li Ergou said, "Big brother, do you really plan to go to BJ?" ”
Zhang Guilai lit a cigarette and said quietly: "I plan to try it, after all, it is a big city and there are many opportunities." ”
Li Ergou looked a little depressed, he thought for a while and said, "Big brother, otherwise, you can bring our brothers with you, no matter what, you can take care of it over there." ”
Zhang Guilai shook his head with a wry smile and said: "It's not that the eldest brother doesn't want to take you, it's really difficult to go this time, I'm not sure that I can make a name for myself, and even whether I can come back alive is a question, I don't want you to be a wanderer with me, you brothers will honestly live for the eldest brother here, didn't you say that you want to marry a daughter-in-law for your brother, then you should make more money." ”
Li Ergou's expression was very sad, and he said in a low voice: "Big brother, I'm just afraid that it will not be easy for you to wander alone, and no one will be able to take care of any difficulties when the time comes, won't it be too bitter at that time." ”
Zhang Guilai showed a reluctant smile, he took a puff of cigarette and said: "Brother Ergou, you are actually a good person, but you were born at the wrong time, there is no way, who let you follow such a bad big brother, so you fell." ”
Li Ergou shook his head and said: "It's the eldest brother who helped us, if it wasn't for your take-in, our brothers might have died now, I didn't go to school, I don't have much culture, but I know that people live in this world, and they have to know how to repay the help of others, so eldest brother, your kindness to our brothers, our brothers will never forget!" ”
Zhang Guilai stared at the flickering cigarette tail in his hand expressionlessly, his brain was also swirling, he had no culture, he didn't know any big truths, he was indeed a little smart, but he couldn't say such things, because he had always lived in his own world, he thought that he was the whole world, he was the one who would be the emperor in the future, these people around him were just his courtiers, he wanted to kill and fight, but he ignored the emotion.
All people are not cold-blooded animals, even if you are a cold-faced killer, at least the heart of this killer is also hot, although people's hearts are unpredictable, but indifference is even more chilling.
Zhang Guilai sighed and said: "Brother, in fact, you don't have to be so emotional, you are still too simple, this cruel society does not believe in tears, you remember, everyone is selfish, people are not destined for heaven and earth!" Even if it's me, I'm taking you in for myself, and if you don't have any value to me, I won't take you in, so you have to keep an eye on everything, you know? ”
"Aren't people doomed to heaven and earth?" Li Ergou muttered to himself, he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and he didn't want to know the meaning of this sentence, he just wanted to be himself, repay those who had helped him, and hate those who had bullied him.
Li Ergou said: "Big brother, don't worry, after so many things, I also know a lot, and I have grown a lot, I also know what to do in the future, big brother doesn't have to worry about me, but big brother, I'm afraid you will have to go alone in the future, and I hope that big brother can take care of yourself." ”
Zhang Guilai nodded, and said to Li Ergou thoughtfully: "By the way, brother, there is one more thing I hope you can promise me." ”
Li Ergou looked at Zhang Guilai with a serious face, and he replied: "Big brother, even if you say that as long as I can do it, I will definitely promise you!" ”
Zhang Guilai hummed and said: "If you can meet Second Brother Ding one day in the future, you must try your best to follow him, he is a good person and a man, he will definitely help you improve your current living conditions, a person with insufficient IQ like your brother, if you can get the help of Second Brother Ding, I believe it should not be difficult for him to marry a daughter-in-law, in addition, you must also remember that no matter when and where, as long as you see Second Brother Ding, you must treat him well like you see me, It's really my regret that I haven't been able to play the world with Second Brother Ding and fight side by side in this life, I don't want this regret of mine to become your regret, do you understand? ”
Li Ergou nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "Don't worry, big brother, we will definitely treat Second Brother Ding wholeheartedly." ”
Zhang Guilai nodded thoughtfully, the two fell into a short silence, at this time Zhang Tiedan opened his sleepy eyes in a daze, he saw a person sitting next to him, he sat up from the quilt in shock, and when he saw that the person sitting next to him was Zhang Guilai, he showed a hint of surprise, he couldn't believe his eyes, hurriedly rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes and asked, "Brother Zhang, is it you?" I'm not dreaming. ”
Zhang Guilai smiled at Zhang Tiedan, who had just woken up, and said, "You're not dreaming, I'm indeed here." ”
After Zhang Tiedan's cheers, he asked again: "Brother Zhang, have you made a fortune?" Did you come to pick us up? ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Guilai and Li Ergou fell into embarrassment for a while, Zhang Tiedan couldn't wait for Zhang Guilai's answer, he scratched his head and seemed to say to himself and seemed to say to Zhang Gui: "Didn't my brother say that as long as you get rich, you will come to pick us up?" And my brother also said that he must wait until you are willing to move out of this shabby place, big brother, you don't know how cold this place is, I can't do it anymore. I had to wake up from my dreams many times a night. ”
Zhang Guilai looked at Zhang Tiedan with warmth, he reached out and touched Zhang Tiedan's head, barely squeezed out a smile and said: "Tiedan, you can leave this place tomorrow, I also think this place is too damp, too dark and too cold." ”
Zhang Tiedan was excited, and he said happily: "Is it really? Can we really get out of here? ”
Zhang Guilai had tears in his eyes, nodded and said, "Really, when did the eldest brother lie to you." ”
Looking at Zhang Tiedan, who was extremely happy, Zhang Guilai's heart could be described as mixed, and he didn't know how to appease this simple heart.
Zhang Guilai sighed and turned his head to Li Ergou and said, "I have to go." ”
Li Ergou was stunned for a moment and said, "Big brother, it's still raining outside, how do you go, didn't you say that you will leave tomorrow when the rain stops?" ”
Zhang Guilai squeezed a smile on his face, and he said: "No, I want to go to BJ earlier and leave earlier to adapt to the climate over there, and be familiar with the situation over there." ”
Li Ergou still looked out of the window with concern, the rain seemed to be falling more at this time, and the sound of raindrops hitting the window sounded.
Li Ergou said: "Big brother, otherwise you should leave tomorrow, I think it rains quite heavily today, and you must not get soaked when you get to the station." ”
Zhang Guilai inspected the small room, and finally his eyes fell on a woven bag, and he pointed to the woven bag hiding in the corner with his hand and said to Li Ergou: "It's okay, isn't there still it, I'll just wear it." ”
Li Ergou still looked worried, and he said with a little worry: "But ......"
"But what, that's it, don't grind Isoji like a girl." After speaking, Zhang Guilai picked up the woven bag in the corner, stuffed the corner of the bag to the opposite corner, buckled it on his head, and prepared to leave.
Li Ergou hurriedly stopped him: "Big brother, you haven't taken the money yet?" ”
As he spoke, Li Ergou took out all the money in the wooden box and stuffed it into Zhang Guilai's hand, and Zhang Guilai was moved to tears by holding this heavy money in his hand.
He took out a wad of the money, handed it to Li Ergou and said: "Brother, this is the money that you brothers have earned through hard work, I can't ask for it all, as long as it is enough for my travel expenses and food and drink in the car, you take the rest, I can't cut off your life because of myself." ”
Li Ergou said that he didn't want anything, he pushed and said: "Big brother, there is such a sentence that is very good, the poor family is rich, and the two of us can earn more money if we have no money, but if you have less money in the car, won't it be a big disaster if you don't have a store in front of the village or behind the store at that time?" ”
Zhang Guilai didn't know what to say, he couldn't shake off Li Ergou's enthusiasm, so he had to hold all the money in his hands, he said: "Brother, please help me see if it's raining outside, I'll load the money first." ”
Li Ergou answered and walked to the outer room, Zhang Guilai hurriedly divided the money in his hand into two parts, one was put in his bag, and the other was covered under the pillow in Zhang Tiedan's confused eyes.
Zhang Tiedan just wanted to speak, Zhang Guilai made a shushing gesture, and he whispered to Zhang Tiedan: "Tiedan, do you want to move?" ”
Zhang Tiedan nodded vigorously, and Zhang Guilai said again: "Then don't talk, close your eyes and sleep from now on, and wait until dawn when your brother can take the money to live in a new house." ”
Zhang Tiedan's brows furrowed slightly and said, "But this money was given to you by my brother, and besides, you still have to go out, how can you do it without bringing more money?" ”
Zhang Guilai patted Zhang Tiedan's shoulder and said: "The money in the bag is enough for me, and besides, the eldest brother doesn't want you to live in this cold place forever, I hope that the next time I come back, I can see you living happily in your new house." ”
Zhang Tiedan said stupidly: "Then I have to discuss with my brother, he is in charge of the family's affairs, if he agrees with you to keep the money, then I have no opinion, if he does not agree with you to keep the money, I respect his opinion." ”
Zhang Guilai was amused by Zhang Tiedan's stupidity, since it was all a decision made by Li Ergou, what else to discuss or not?
Zhang Guilai glanced outside, Li Ergou hadn't come in yet, and he said to Zhang Tiedan: "If the eldest brother and your brother don't agree on the same opinion, do you listen to the eldest brother or your brother?" ”
Zhang Tiedan didn't think about it and said, "Of course I listen to my eldest brother." ”
Zhang Guilai smiled and said, "Isn't this right? Then Tie Dan, big brother is telling you now, you are not allowed to tell your brother about the money I put here, otherwise I will never come to look for you again! ”
Zhang Tiedan wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Li Ergou who came in from outside, and Li Ergou said casually: "What are you talking about?" ”
Zhang Gui said that it was nothing, but saw that Li Ergou had another woven bag in his hand, he looked at Li Ergou suspiciously and asked, "Why did you find another bag?" ”
Li Ergou smiled and said, "I'll send off the eldest brother." ”
Zhang Guilai thought about it, he looked at Zhang Tiedan in the haze again, and said, "It's okay, we can still chat on the road, I don't know when we will see you again this time." ”
The rain outside is not too big, the weather in late autumn is colder, but this rain is just a little more lingering than at other times, when the rain soaks through the clothes and stains the skin, it still makes people shiver, too cold and too cold, Li Ergou can't resist the cold after all, sneezed, Zhang Gui looked at Li Ergou, his thin body trembled in the cold wind, a little unbearable, he stopped, the road in front of him was still ***** potholes, he didn't want to hurt his brother and him again.
Li Ergou also stopped, he turned his head to look at Zhang Guilai and asked, "Big brother, why don't you leave?" ”
Zhang Guilai already had a clear answer in his heart, and he said: "Ergou, my things seem to have fallen on your kang, please help me pick it up, I'll wait for you here." ”
Li Ergou frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly, "Big brother, what is it?" ”
Zhang Guilai said calmly: "You will know when you go." ”
Li Ergou sighed softly and said, "Big brother, you wait here for a while, and I'll be back soon." ”
After speaking, Li Ergou pulled his legs and ran back.
