Chapter 9: Remorse
Sleepless nights.
The east is white, and the morning light shines through the newly pasted window paper, which makes it even whiter.
The situation of last night is vivid, and her mother is almost crying and begging her, "Siyu, give up this family quickly, don't let us drag you down anymore!" ”
The old face of her mother, who wanted to cry without tears, made her heart ache like a knife.
Siyu is not afraid of hardship, nor is he afraid of tiredness, nor does he care about the ridicule of others.
But she was afraid that her mother would cry!
When my mother cried, the pain in her heart was worse than pricking her with a needle.
The pain is indescribable.
But it's real.
It's worse than killing her.
If she had a choice, she would rather be stabbed than stabbed in the heart.
Her heart hurts, it hurts with every breath she exhales.
But she just wanted to pretend to be strong in front of her mother.
Forced not to cry.
As long as you don't cry in front of your mother, it doesn't count as crying.
As long as you don't cry in front of your mother, you don't cry.
Otherwise, how should we live this day?
She kept telling herself that if Siyu didn't cry, everything would be fine.
She sighed secretly, got up quietly, and went over to look at her mother, who was still sleeping peacefully.
Life has to go on, and the younger brother is still detained in Leshantang, and if he knew that this would be the case, he should have stopped his mother from customizing a wedding dress for himself.
She had to find a way to get it back and see if she could return it, even if it was a bit of silver.
After all, ransom is more important.
Thinking of this, she got up and prepared to go to Changshan City again.
My mother definitely didn't agree, so she was light and didn't dare to be alarmed, so she went out without telling her mother.
It's just that what she didn't know was that as soon as she walked on her front foot, Chen's mother opened her eyes.
In fact, she hadn't slept all night, and her eyes were already red from crying.
I wanted to make a wedding dress for my daughter, but when I encountered such a thing, I couldn't help but cry out for my daughter.
Chen Siyu had just gone out, and before he had time to freshen up, he was inevitably a little scared when he thought of entering the city alone.
Last night's experience made her scared when she thought about it, but fortunately, the young man in white helped.
I said such unreasonable things to him yesterday, as if he didn't care at all.
The man was really good, but a few ups and downs disappeared into the night.
What a mysterious person.
But today she wants to go to the city again, what if she meets the two scoundrels of Leshantang again?
Thinking of this, her heart pounded, pounded.
It can be thought that her younger brother was still detained in the casino by Leshantang's people, and she had to rush to the city.
She thought so, first went to the silk village to try her best to redeem the golden hairpin, and then used the golden hairpin to redeem her younger brother.
But how can the golden hairpin be redeemed so easily?
I'm afraid that the shopkeeper of the silk cloth village will make things difficult for himself.
Yesterday I was a guest at someone's house, but today I am afraid that I have to look at people's faces and beg others.
It's a real thing.
Fortunately, Grandma Wang's son is estimated to have to go to the city again today, and she can just catch his carriage.
She quietly talked to Grandma Wang's son about this matter yesterday.
Fortunately, Grandma Wang's son is very honest, and he will try his best to meet all the requests he makes.
This time, it's no exception.
However, this time, what surprised Siyu was that she got into the carriage and met her younger brother as soon as she arrived on the road.
Chen Yunzhi was walking home alone, and when he looked up, he saw his sister coming to him.
His face was flushed, he didn't dare to look directly at his old sister, and lowered his head in shame.
Chen Yunwei, a pale, haggard, and weak scholar.
It's hard to imagine that the weak scholar in front of him is a person who is addicted to gambling.
He was wearing a long shirt with a smell of sweat, and before going out, he told his sister and mother that he was going to visit his teacher.
In fact, I went to Leshantang in Changshan, and gambled for three days and three nights, and the dozens of taels of silver that the old lady had earned so hard were all lost.
This is not enough, and he actually borrowed a thousand taels of profit.
At first, his luck was excellent.
Whether it is a big bet or a small bet, he can bet on it, and slowly he will increase his bet bigger and bigger.
As a result, the good fortune did not last long, and only one hand of cards was used, and all the money won before was lost.
He was willing to be willing, and at the instigation of the dealer, he kept borrowing money.
He also lost red-eyed, and wanted to win back the money he had lost before, but it backfired.
But when he really calmed down, he found that this disaster had become a big one.
Not only did he lose all the money he had won before, but he also smashed into the money he had brought, and he owed a thousand taels of silver to the ark.
That's money!
As the saying goes, if you want to die quickly, you have to touch the donkey and roll.
This donkey rolls, which is the money of the son.
Although the robe on his body is old, there is not a single patch, on the other hand, his sister is wearing a coarse cloth dress, and the patches are patched.
At that moment, he was full of remorse.
"Sister, I'm sorry for you and my mother! I promise, never gamble again! ”
After Chen Yunzhi said this, he knelt in front of her and wept bitterly.
Chen Siyu has seen many such scenes, and his younger brother has sworn more than once.
In this situation, in this public, she didn't want her brother to be too embarrassed, so she hurriedly helped him up.
"Sister......
Chen Siyu waved his hand in annoyance, and his younger brother didn't dare to say anything more.
She looked at her brother, who was weak and thin, and his face was still a little bruised, half distressed, half annoyed.
I feel sorry for him for many days, I am afraid that he is not well fed and clothed, and his appearance has decreased a lot.
Annoyed that he was too angry, and he didn't change his teachings again and again.
Originally, there were thousands of words in my heart, and I really wanted to point at his nose and scold him for three days and three nights.
Now that I saw my own brother, I couldn't say a word, and those thousand words only turned into one sentence.
"Let's go home first, my mother worried about you all night!"
The younger brother lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more, and silently followed behind his sister and Siyu.
On the main road, people come and go.
No one stopped and looked back, wanting to take a closer look at their sister, Chen Siyu.
This is just no makeup, no powder.
My sister is really beautiful, so beautiful, she pierces people's eyes wherever she goes.
Sometimes, this also makes the mother very worried, and she doesn't want her to always show up.
But......
Speaking of which, I blame myself for all this.
If she wasn't so good at gambling, her sister wouldn't have to work so hard, she would have already earned a family business.
However, this family is about to ruin him!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pinch his thighs hard, even though his thighs were already scarred.
He was thinking, and in the future he vowed never to gamble again.
Ke Siyu was also thinking.
She was thinking, who helped her with this thousand taels of silver?
Niang Ke said that human favor is greater than the sky, but you can't owe someone else's love, no matter what, this silver has to be returned to others.
Thinking of this, she suddenly stopped, so that her younger brother, who was walking with his head down, did not pay attention to her, and almost hit her.
"That's not right!"
Siyu turned around and looked over with a pair of big eyes, "Who gave you this thousand taels of silver?" ”
"This ......"
Yunzhi fell into a painful memory for a moment, and scratched his head, "Sister, this, I really don't know!" ”
"Impossible!"
Chen Siyu grabbed his brother's shirt and asked angrily.
Although his younger brother is much taller than himself, Siyu is also extremely fierce.
"Sister, sister, why don't you believe it? I don't believe you! ”
It's good that Siyu didn't listen to this, but when she heard this, she was even more angry, and she jumped up and beat her younger brother.
"I, I believe you are a ghost!"
Siyu was very angry, and when he thought that he had lied to himself, he gave his younger brother a shock.
"Stop playing, it hurts, it hurts!"
"Then you say, who gave this silver, it is a thousand taels!"
Chen Yunzhi was also very puzzled, one thousand taels was indeed not a small amount, but no matter how he inquired, the people of Leshantang were also tight-lipped.
"Sister, I really inquired about this, no one really knows!"
Siyu saw that his younger brother didn't seem to be a fake, so he had to give up.
But this thing is really strange.
She suddenly thought of someone, the mysterious young man in white last night, and thought to herself, could it be him.
But why is he?
Siyu really couldn't figure out what the purpose of this mysterious man in white was, whether he paid the ransom for his younger brother.
You know, that's a thousand taels of silver, which is definitely not a small amount.
"Brother, you must tell the truth, this thousand taels of silver is really not a small amount, and we can't take advantage of other people's favors no matter what."
"Sister, I know that after several things, you can't believe me, but this matter is true, I didn't lie."
When Chen Yunzhi said this, his face was ashamed, "I really don't know this thousand taels of silver, who paid it for me?" ”
Now it was Siyu's turn to be speechless.
It was hard for her to imagine a person who had paid a thousand taels of silver for herself, but did not leave her name.
I don't know what this person is trying to do.
The two sisters and brothers were relatively silent, silently, with each other, each with their own thoughts, walking on the way home.
When Chen Yunzhi saw his sister, he never said a word, his face was melancholy, he knew that this disaster was a big deal for him today.
He felt so guilty in his heart, but he didn't know what to say to his sister, did he say sorry?
I'm afraid that these three words are so pale and powerless, but what else can he say?
"Sister, I'm sorry, or you hit me......"
Before he finished speaking, he snapped and received a hot slap in the face.
He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry......"
He didn't dare to look up at his sister because he was so shameless.
I only heard my sister choke up and said to herself: "When will you be able to grow up, you know, my mother vomited blood when she heard that you were detained last night."
"What?"
He instantly felt that he really deserved to die, and hurriedly raised his head, only to find that his sister was almost crying.
