27. Abandon the husband and abandon the son
The unbearable summer has finally passed, and the weather has cooled down all of a sudden. Although it is more bleak than the autumn in the summer, it is a happy season for A-Yao.
Fang Bin's martial arts hall opened, and another wave of tuition fees went into Ah Yao's pocket, carrying the heavy little purse in her hand, Ah Yao was smiling in her sleep.
Fang Bin said that she used those silver coins to buy some new clothes and new jewelry for Ah Yao, Ah Yao held the money bag and refused to let go, and the old clothes and jewelry could also be worn, so she didn't want to waste these silver taels, she wanted to save the money to have a baby in the future.
But she just thought about it in her heart, but she was embarrassed to sue SΓΉ Fangbin.
When Fang Bin saw that she got money, it was like a great baby, and he could let her, as long as his wife was happy.
In fact, letting Fang Bin make money alone A-Yao is still a little reluctant, although she is enough for a woman's family to do laundry, cooking, and housework every day, but he and Fang Bin don't farm after all, and food and clothing are also a big expense, so when she goes to the martial arts hall on weekdays, she will do some embroidery or something like when she was at her mother's house and take it to a shop in the west of the city to sell.
The owner of the shop has been in contact with Ah Yao for many years, and Ah Yao's embroidery book is considered first-class, and she can always think of some novel tricks, so the price given by the boss there is considerable.
It's just that she has always secretly saved up this money and didn't dare to let Fang Bin know, so she was afraid that he would worry that she would be tired, and it would be bad if she was not allowed to do these jobs in the future. Anyway, all the silver taels belong to the two of them, and it's not too late to take them out when there is an urgent need.
On this day, Ah Yao sat in front of the door embroidering Juan Pa as usual, but she heard a faint crying sound next door, Ah Yao couldn't help but be a little puzzled: Huzi went to the martial arts hall to practice martial arts, isn't Aunt Wang at home alone, why is it so lively over there?
Ah Yao listened intently for a while, and then she heard clearly that it was Aunt Wang crying.
Ah Yao immediately couldn't sit still, threw the things in her hand aside and walked over quickly to see what was going on.
When I opened the door of Aunt Wang's house, I saw Aunt Wang sitting on the ground crying, her sideburns stained with silver frost were messy. Not far from the threshold sat a man of about twenty or thirty years of age, who was now buried in his lap with his head in his hands, but he could not be seen.
Ah Yao hurriedly stepped forward and bent down: "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" β
Aunt Wang cried even more sadly when she saw A-Yao coming to see her: "Lady, what kind of sin do you say my old wife has done, God actually punished me like this, so that our family will not live in peace." β
"Aunt Wang, what happened?" Ah Yao asked with some concern.
Aunt Wang sobbed and told the truth of the matter.
Aunt Wang's son Wang Tianyong and his wife Guo were originally doing business in the capital, and they were also doing business in peace.
Who would have thought that some time ago, Guo's shopping on the street was taken by Xie Rong, a bully in the capital, and Xie Rong was going to do the act of robbing the people's girls on the street.
After Wang Tianyong learned about this, he went to the Xie Mansion to theorize, but was beaten half to death by Xie Rong and a group of people.
Xie Rong's sister is the favorite concubine of His Royal Highness the third son of the current emperor, and the forces in the family dare not offend, Wang Tianyong knows that his small strength is useless, so he thinks about calming things down.
thought that this matter would be over, but Xie Rong did not give up because of this, and took a group of subordinates to the house to rob people, thanks to a chivalrous rescue, the couple escaped death.
It's just that they didn't dare to stay in the capital anymore, so Wang Tianyong and his wife decided to take all their belongings and rush to their hometown Qingyuan County overnight.
Before leaving, Sun Zheng, the guy in the store, said that he was helpless, and now he couldn't stay in the capital as soon as they left, crying and begging Wang Tianyong to take him away, Wang Tianyong relented for a while and responded.
But he never thought that Guo Shi would take away all Wang Tianyong's savings over the years and elope with Sun Zheng on a night of accommodation.
Wang Tianyong now has no wife, no savings, and comes back with nothing.
"Guo Yumei, that slut, Lao Tzu offended Xie Rong's bully for him, that's how she repaid me!" Wang Tianyong suddenly raised his head and scolded hatefully, his face was pale, his clenched fists couldn't stop trembling, but his eyes were faintly shining with tears.
Ah Yao also felt a little sympathetic when she saw it, such a thing would be unbearable for anyone.
"Auntie, don't be sad, now that things have happened, no matter how sad it is, it won't help, don't hurt your body." Ah Yao gently comforted.
Aunt Wang's tears couldn't be stopped, snot and tears flowed a lot, and she said while crying: "Lady, how can you live in the future, our tiger is still so young, what do you say our family can do?" β
"Mother, don't cry, isn't there still me with that slut who is left in this house, I won't let you and Huzi go hungry." Wang Tianyong suddenly stood up and said.
"You look like this now, how can I expect you, because that mother-in-law is lame, she is good, take our family's silver, pat her ass and leave, and her son and husband are gone." Aunt Wang cried even more sadly when she talked about this.
Ah Yao looked up and saw that Wang Tianyong's standing posture was really lame in his right leg, maybe this was the reason why Guo Yumei abandoned him. Such a woman is really ruthless, she only thinks about herself in her eyes, and even her relatives can be left behind. If someone sues the government, it will definitely be a crime to be caught, and it is unknown whether he can live or not.
Seeing the sad faces of their mother and son, Ah Yao was a little unbearable, thinking about how to help them, it was really not easy for Wang Tianyong to be lame and want to find a partner, and after thinking about it, there might be only one way.
"Auntie, I have a JianyΓ¬, why don't you let Brother Tianyong go to the martial arts hall to help my family with chores, and by the way, moving his muscles and bones may also be good for his legs. Although the income of the martial arts hall is not much, the salary given is more than enough to support you and Huzi. β
Aunt Wang was crying sadly, and now she was immediately moved when she heard Ah Yao's words, and she held Ah Yao's hand and said very strongly: "Lady, how can you let us thank you for this, you and Fang Xianggong are really good people, you said that I used to bully you like that, this conscience is really eaten by dogs." β
Ah Yao couldn't help but smile: "What is Auntie talking about, we are all neighbors, shouldn't we help each other." β
"I know it's not easy for you to open a martial arts gym, and now I'm willing to help Tianyong, don't say anything about wages or not, as long as our family can make ends meet." Aunt Wang said and looked at her son in front of the door, "What are you doing there, don't you come to thank the lady of the Fang family." β
Wang Tianyong limped over when he heard this, and faced A-Yao's gaze with great sincerity: "Thank you, lady." β
Aunt Wang pulled Ah Yao to chat a few words affectionately, and said that she wanted to leave her at home for dinner, but Ah Yao was so embarrassed, not to mention that she had to go back to cook for Fang Bin, so she excused herself.
When A-Yao came back from Aunt Wang's house, it was already dusk, and when she saw the sky, she hurriedly put on her apron and went into the stove room to cook.
Fang Bin had already come back halfway through the meal, and Ah Yao saw him through the window of the stove room and greeted him: "It's a little late to cook today, you go to take a bath first, I just boiled hot water for you." β
Fang Bin stepped forward and hugged Ah Yao and kissed it, then smiled, put a wooden bucket in the house, and brought the boiling hot water into the house, closed the door and took a bath.
After Fang Bin finished taking a bath, A-Yao also happened to make a meal, brought the food into the table in the room and set it up, and the two sat down to eat.
At the dinner table, Ah Yao told Fang Bin about Wang Tianyong, and said that she promised Aunt Wang to let Wang Tianyong go to the martial arts hall to help, but Fang Bin did not object.
In fact, A-Yao has long known that although her father-in-law is sometimes cold, he is still warm-hearted, and he will not refuse such a thing, and it is precisely because she knows him that she dares to say this in front of Aunt Wang today.
"Wang Tianyong has no problem doing chores in the martial arts hall, but it is not a long-term solution, in the future, Huzi will have to marry a wife and have children when he grows up, and the expenses will be bigger and bigger, and we can't give him so much salary." Fang Bin said suddenly.
Ah Yao nodded: "I have also thought of these, we are also helping them solve the immediate troubles first, after all, when you go to the martial arts hall on weekdays, Aunt Wang also helped me a lot at home, and now that their family is in trouble, I still have to help some." After a while, I will ask Mo Yan to see if I can let Wang Tianyong follow Cui Xi to Huilaiju as a partner, Huihuiju is a big restaurant after all, and the salary there is definitely considerable. β
"That's fine, let's go next door together after dinner, we should go and see what happened to their family."
