Chapter 195: The past cannot be traced
The eldest lady seemed to remember the past, and the blush on her face slowly receded, replaced by a touch of loneliness in the memory of the past, and she bit her lip lightly, as if she was hesitant to say it.
Yang Zheng seemed to be able to feel the memory of the suffering, and did not alarm her, and even pressed against her right leg, and slowly let go.
The eldest lady gritted her teeth and groaned for a moment, her eyes were shining with tears, and under the moonlight, they were crystal clear, and she looked extremely good-looking.
After a while, the eldest lady said faintly: "When I was eight years old, my father's death caused the Peng family's business to plummet, and those friends who called the Peng family brothers and sisters on weekdays also hid and disappeared, for fear that the Peng family would go over, and the orphans and widows of the Peng family would ask them to borrow money to live. “
The eldest lady's voice was faint, but Yang Zheng could still feel the faint sadness in her voice.
The eldest lady's face was serene, as if she was completely immersed in the memories of the past, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and the whole appearance, just like the tone of her speech, was faint, soft, but with a trace of sadness.
"That year, our Peng family did not make a business, not even a piece of cloth, a porcelain, a piece of calligraphy and painting has not been sold, a whole year, the Peng family did not have a tael of silver into the account, my mother took me and my sister, and survived for a year, and in the second year, the Peng family no longer has extra silver for a large family to eat, drink, and sleep, and the situation must be opened, otherwise it will not be long before the Peng family is not the Peng family!"
With his feelings, Yang Zheng felt that something was going to happen below, because he saw anger and faint fear from the tears of the eldest lady.
The eldest lady's eyes were a little hollow, as if she was indulging in the past and couldn't extricate herself.
"My mother first found my father's former business partners and wanted them to continue their business, so that the Peng family's business would also open up the situation, as long as they could continue to do business, the Peng family would not die, and my sister and I would not have to worry about starving to death and sleeping on the street?"
Yang Zheng looked at the eldest lady, did not speak, and listened quietly, for fear that as soon as he spoke, he would interrupt the eldest lady's reminiscence of the past. "The mother failed, they didn't do business with the Peng family at all, and they didn't even look at the mother, so they let people close the door, and the mother visited one family after another, and no family agreed to do business with the Peng family?" "That year, the mother worked hard for a whole year, and every morning when she got up, she kicked the cloth, porcelain, and tea of the Peng family in her arms, and with hope and shyness, she knocked on the door one after another, although she knew that she would be humiliated and ridiculed, but the mother still gritted her teeth and knocked open, but even so, no one paid attention to the mother? ”
Yang Zheng sighed lightly, he didn't expect that the quiet and elegant Mrs. Peng would have such an experience, and he couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart. "This year's Chinese New Year's Eve, it was raining heavily, and my mother, as usual, was holding the Peng family's cloth, porcelain, and tea leaves in her arms and knocking on the last door?
I nodded vigorously and said to my mother, I will definitely take care of my sister!"
When the eldest lady said this, she was already in tears, dripping down her cheeks, so good that they dripped onto Yang Zheng's chest, wetting his chest a lot!"
Yang Zheng didn't say anything, just listened quietly.
"The rain is getting heavier and heavier, my mother has been gone all day and has not come back, I look at the dark sky, and the sound of the rain is getting louder and louder, I am very scared, my stomach is hungry, my sister keeps crying, I am very scared, but when my mother leaves, I dare not forget jì, I hold my sister tightly in my arms, and keep saying to her: Xiang'er is not afraid, Xiang'er is not afraid, my mother will come back soon, she will definitely come back?"
The eldest lady's face gradually became a little pale, and she bit the teeth of her red lips a little harder, and Yang Zheng could almost see the blood oozing from her lips.
The eldest lady took a hard breath, and then said: "However, it is very dark, my mother has not come back, my sister is tired of crying and falls asleep in my arms, I am very afraid, I keep calling my mother, but my mother has not appeared?"
Later, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the night became darker and darker, and my stomach was so hungry that I couldn't do it, but I kept patient, waiting for my mother to come back, and later, I don't know how long I waited, and my intuitive mother won't come back, I don't want us anymore, I'm going to find her!"
The tears in the eldest lady's eyes were like broken beads, and they kept flowing: "I was so scared that I couldn't care about anything, closed the door, and walked out to find my mother?"
I don't know where the guts came from, it was pitch black, and I kept walking, and I walked and walked, and I don't know how long, and then I suddenly saw a bright light, and then, and then I saw my mother--?"
I was so glad that I had found my mother, and I wanted to rush into my mother's arms, telling her that I was hungry and scared, and asked her to hurry home.
I shouted loudly, but my mother ignored me, and I was very strange and screamed a few more times.
But the mother kept looking back, but stood in the rain and said something to a man.
I was curious, so I ran over, and I saw that the man was half-bowing, his feet slightly open, revealing a small gap, and behind him was a family member, holding up a big umbrella high, constantly urging his mother to what?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
My mother stood in the heavy rain, the rain dripped down my mother's hair, and her clothes dripped down, and in the heavy rain, I clearly saw my mother's son trembling, and her fists were clenched tightly.
Soon, I saw my mother say to the man, "I hope you don't forget what you said?"
The man laughed a few times and said, "Guo Xueyi, as long as you can do it, if I Wei Dong said it, it will definitely count!" "Okay!" I heard my mother answer, and then knelt down, and then crawled under the man's crotch step by step.
I suddenly realized something, and I wanted to run over and grab my mother and tell her not to do it, even if we starved to death, we wouldn't do it.
But I didn't, I stood there stupidly and watched my mother climb over step by step, and then lowered my head and got under the man's crotch.
I heard the man laugh, then spat hard at his mother and turned away.
The eldest lady slowly retracted her gaze and looked at Yang Zheng, for some reason, Yang Zheng was a little numb by her eyes, and said in her heart: "Your grandfather's, that man is not me, why do you look at me like this?"
"You know what, an eight-year-old kid, what it's like to see that scene, you know, you don't know?"
"I pretended not to see my mother's embarrassment, and when my mother stood up and paid the saliva on my face, I ran out from under a big tree, pretending not to see anything, and threw myself into my mother's arms to complain?"
My mother didn't say anything, took my hand and returned to the Peng family, the Peng family had a business that year, but it was exchanged for the dignity of my mother's life, and I will never forget that scene-?"
The eldest lady bit her red lip tightly and was silent for a while, and Yang Zheng didn't dare to say a word.
After the eldest lady was silent for a while, she raised her eyes and glanced at Yang Zheng, only then did she exhale heavily, as if she had recovered from some painful memories, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, she gently raised her wrist, stroked the sideburns next to her ear, and continued: "From that day on, I secretly swore that I would not let my mother suffer such suffering, for this reason, I have been learning the way of business with my mother since I was ten years old, no matter how hard and tired, I am not afraid, in order to learn to do a good job in business and make the Peng family better." When I was twelve years old, I took over the Peng family from my mother, and until today, I am trembling, afraid that I will not be able to do well, and let my mother be insulted again, I am afraid-?"
Yang Zheng patted him lightly and said in a low voice: "You have done a good job, I believe that Madame will see it this way?"
The eldest lady was overjoyed and said, "Really?"
Yang Zheng nodded and said, "Of course it's true, the Peng family has been thriving in your hands over the years, not to mention far, just say that recently, it is recruiting relatives and chambers of commerce, and the Peng family's business is much better than when Lord Ling Zun was there?"
The eldest lady's face turned red, and she glanced at him, and said, "I didn't do this, it's your credit, don't you stuff it on my head!" "This girl is really stubborn?" Yang Zheng was speechless for a while, but when he saw the tears on this girl's face, his heart softened, and said: "How can this be stuffed on your head? If it weren't for your discerning eyes and pearls, you brought me, a flower child, into the Peng family, how could there be any banquet to invite relatives, and the heroic deeds of begging people in the fire are right, speaking of which, this is all your credit!"
The eldest lady's face turned red, knowing that he was comforting her, so she glanced at him and said, "Just your mouth, can you speak?"
Yang Zheng smiled and said, "I opened my mouth, but I didn't know if I could speak, would I-?"
"Hmm-?" Before the eldest lady could react, a pink little mouth was covered by a bloody mouth.
was stunned by Yang Zheng's sudden move, and the eldest lady's small mouth opened slightly, as if she hadn't recovered from the shock just now.
"The purpose of her coming today is indeed this meaning, Yang Zheng is both civil and military, smart and capable, with him to help herself, the Peng family will only become stronger, and will never fall into the realm of the year, this may be a little selfishness of her, but the scene in her childhood impressed her too deeply, so that she put the honor and disgrace of the Peng family first in everything, and ignored herself!"
