Chapter 12: The King's Beard
When he got rich, the first thing You Mosheng did was to go to the vegetable market and buy a pound of peanuts, two pounds of pork ribs and a bottle of wine. As soon as I got home, I came to the kitchen non-stop to tie my apron, humming a little song in my mouth, and crackling for a while. Braised pork ribs, fried peanuts, debt-free and light, thinking that tomorrow he can pay off the debt he has owed for many years, You Mosheng's heart blossomed.
When I came back from school, I smelled a unique aroma of braised pork ribs wafting from the corridor, lingering. When I was a child, I remembered the scene when my family sat around the dinner table and talked and laughed and ate, and if happiness could stop, I really hoped that I would never grow up.
When I opened the door, I found that the smell was wafting from my kitchen.
"Dad, what's going on today, is there any happy event in our family?" The financial power of the family has always been in his own hands, how can Dad have extra money to buy ribs.
"Silly girl, isn't that your favorite food? Without further ado, wash your hands. ”
"Yes."
After washing her hands, Ziluo obediently moved the small stool and made it beside her father.
"Well, the taste hasn't changed."
"Well, it's so fragrant." Ziluo picked the largest piece and put it in her father's bowl, and picked up a small piece and put it in her mouth to taste it.
"Dad, it's been a long time since I've eaten your cooking, and I'm so happy today."
"This is the happiness in your mind, you have to get it, it's too pediatric. Sue you, Dad has an even bigger surprise to announce to you. You Mosheng turned around and picked up the clothes from the sofa and pulled out five stacks of glittering gold from them.
"Look, what is this?"
"So much money, Dad, where did you get it? You won't be ......? Ziluo looked nervous.
"Hey, I said, don't guess, Dad, I won't steal or rob, and I won't do illegal things, you just have to put your heart in your stomach." You Mosheng is full of pride.
"Then you tell me where you got this money?"
"Yes, I borrowed it from a friend. This friend, he is very good, soft-hearted, seeing that our family is pitiful, he has to lend me money, saying let's use it to pay off the debt first, I said that I can't do without, my daughter will be suspicious, but he just didn't listen, and forced it to me. ”
"But, Dad! Where did you come from rich friends. Just the uncles and uncles who drink and chat with you all day long, the family is not financially rich, who will have spare money to lend you. ”
"Hey, Ziluo, you are underestimating Dad, if it weren't for Wang Dabeard's eagerness to chase money, I wouldn't have asked for anything about this money. Dad still understands the truth that he is not allowed to eat. ”
"Dad!" Ziluo angrily turned her back to her father.
"It's really borrowed, when did you become as worried about me as your mother back then." You Mosheng ran his hand over Ziluo's body, smiling and blaming.
"Alright, alright, continue eating."
"Dad, you know, you are my only relative in this world."
"Yes, yes. Ziluo, which creditors are we going to pay back this money to, do you think it's okay? ”
"You're sure the money is really safe."
"Of course."
"Alright then, I'll pay it back tomorrow." In any case, as long as the money is repaid, there is no need to be bullied by creditors. Ziluo promised very happily: "When I earn money from my work, I will repay the kind people who lent you money." ”
I don't know when it rains outside the window, it's late autumn, the continuous rain hits the remaining wilted leaves on the branches, and withers with the wind, life is just a process, for all things, come and go, the body can't help it.
Sitting at the table, under the orange lamp, Ziluo took out her diary from under the pillow. If the state of life is a pain that cannot be described in words, who will be the real listener of this Cinderella except for the diary.
Flipping it open and closing it quickly, my heart was pounding. The diary shows obvious signs of being tampered with.
I opened it again, and saw that the mark that had been carefully folded last time was rudely spread out and folded again.
Zi Luo's heart suddenly cooled.
There was no sign of the room being turned over at all, and it was a poor old house that could not have been visited by thieves.
It had to be Dad. Thinking of his father's expression at night, and the money, this incident is too easy to make people doubt his logic.
Zi Luo's tears began to fall out of her eyes one by one, unwilling to dry them or stop. Let the two lines of sad tears twist wantonly on his face. Soon, a large patch of jeans was wet before she could change them, and the deep and light colors smiled at her with a certain dark mockery.
Who's in the neighbor's TV is singing over and over again:
The heart is not tenacious, it will be broken at the touch, I cover those scars with a strong smile, and the smile is as deep as the hurt is. Ah, the truth! It's always too cruel.
It was late at night, so I fell asleep at the desk, and my body couldn't feel the coolness and kept shivering. The air that has been drenched in the rain, the sadness that is tired, the tears in the dream, will you choose to forget, as if nothing has happened?
In the middle of the night, You Mosheng was sleepy-eyed and draped in clothes, stepped on his slippers and got up to go to the toilet, and found that the light in his daughter's room was still on.
Gently pushing open the door, I saw my daughter crawling on the small desk. His pale face was furrowed, and the paper basket next to him was full of paper that had wiped away tears. What's going on? He was just about to reach out to wake up his daughter and let her rest on the bed, when he found that Ziluo's spread out diary was messily written: Mom, I miss you so much, you can help me, I hate Dad, I hate Dad, I hate Dad, I hate Dad, I hate Dad, I hate Dad......
The messy handwriting, crying blood, like a sharp knife, penetrated deep into You Mosheng's heart.
"Daughter, it's my fault, it's my father's fault, you shouldn't touch your diary, you shouldn't use it to blackmail your most respected teacher Xiangnan. Dad can't help it, forgive Dad, everything Dad did was for you! ”
Turbid tears rolled down silently, and You Mosheng, who had never shed tears in the most difficult time, looked as if he had aged more than ten years all of a sudden.
But if you are to be the prey of the king's beard, I would rather die. Yu Mosheng staggered away.
The next day was Sunday, and the first thing Ziluo did when she came back from her tutoring was to call Wang Dabeard and agree to repay the money.
"Purple carrot? Your dad figured out that he couldn't pay his debts, right? I'll just say, there is such a beautiful daughter who is paying off some debts. What the? Pay it back now. Okay, I'll go right away, don't go anywhere, just wait for me where you are. Wang's beard on the other end of the phone let out a vulgar laugh.
At this time, Wang's bearded heart was sweeter than eating honey. He decided that Old Man You had no money to repay the debt, and he laughed dryly with a ghost in his heart. Beside Ah San, the little monkey looked at Wang Dabeard with puzzled eyes, since he had no money to repay his debts and was so happy, he really couldn't understand.
Wang Dabeard didn't explain that he had a big gold tooth, and slapped the little monkey on the head, "You know a fart, go, prepare the car immediately." With a poopy belly, one of the people was ready to drive away.
"Big brother, big brother, why don't I go with you, they all say that the little ghost is difficult to haunt, and I'm afraid that you will suffer at that time" The little monkey drove the car to Wang Dabeard, and said uneasily.
"Go aside, hairy monkey, let me tell you, the fortune teller can say, I recently committed peach blossom luck, this girl will be sent to the door by herself, and I will let her have no return." Wang Dahu hummed the peach blossoms in his mouth, waved his hand impatiently and sent the little monkey away, and slammed the accelerator vigorously, and the black horse domestic BMW disappeared from the little monkey's field of vision.
