Chapter 436: The Man Who Died
As soon as he heard that someone had been rescued, Gu Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the person was not dead, everything was easy to say.
When I squeezed in front of me, I found that Erzhu Niang was lying on a wooden board in the hall, probably just woke up, her lips were white, her eyes were blank, and she was staring at the beams of the hall, and she didn't react to the people next to her.
There was a handsome young man kneeling next to him, holding Erzhu Niang's hand, the green tendons on his arms were bursting up, his eyes were red, his lips were pursed, and not a single tear fell.
This estimate is Erzhu, he has been working in the town all the year round, Gu Mingzhu has seen him very few times, and he has almost no impression. I can only estimate it.
Next to Erzhu Niang, Dr. Zhou was pricking Erzhu Niang with a needle, and a thin layer of fine sweat oozed from Dr. Zhou's face, obviously he had worked hard to save Erzhu Niang just now.
This week's doctor's medical skills are exquisite, if it weren't for Dr. Zhou here, Erzhu Niang is afraid that it will be difficult to save her!
Gu Mingzhu looked at Erzhu's house, he was really poor and clean, and it was estimated that everything that could be sold was almost sold.
There are only a few broken stools left with tilted heads and slanted heads, and there is not even a square table for the ancestors, no matter how poor a family is, the square table for the ancestors must be placed in the middle of the hall to prepare for the New Year's festival to put incense on the ancestors.
If people are not forced to wait for the money in a hurry, they will not sell the square table dedicated to their ancestors, which is a great disrespect to their ancestors.
These two pillars were probably forced by the people in the casino, and even sold the square table dedicated to their ancestors.
In the next room, there was a wooden board on two benches, and in the tattered quilt lay a skinny man, with sunken eyes, a pale face, a scruffy beard, and a pair of cloudy eyes looking in the direction of Erzhu Niang in the hall, and seeing Erzhu Niang lying on the wooden board panting slightly, the man's face was full of regret, regret and despair.
If you guessed correctly, this man is the Erzhu father who had his leg broken and one of his arms cut off. This home can be said to have been destroyed by Erzhu's father.
Looking at the embarrassed and desperate Erzhu father, Gu Mingzhu couldn't sympathize at all, men should have the responsibility of men, people who are bent on opportunism and get something for nothing are the most hateful, do you really think that pies will fall from the sky?
Aunt Zhao and Aunt Li are all here, looking at Erzhu Niang with a worried face, the three of them have been doing things on Gu Mingzhu's barren beach for so long, and several people also have deeper feelings, seeing Erzhu Niang like this, isn't it strange if you don't feel sad in your heart?
Gu Mingzhu tugged at the corner of Aunt Zhao's clothes and motioned for her to speak to the side, and Aunt Zhao followed Gu Mingzhu to squeeze out.
Leaving the crowd, Gu Mingzhu asked, "What's the matter?" Didn't you finish paying the money? Why did you find it again? ”
Aunt Zhao sighed and said, "What a sin! Marrying a useless man, I have suffered all my life, and now I almost have my life on the line. ”
"It's not the fault of those men who have no conscience, they know about gambling every day, they don't make a fortune for the family, and they sell all the valuable things in the family."
"You also know that Erzhu's salary is enough for her two to live, plus Erzhu's salary for working in the town, life is enough."
"This man who died took away Erzhu's salary, not to mention it, and he didn't even let go of Erzhu's mother's salary, no matter where the money was hidden, it could be found."
"The more you gamble, the more you lose, and when you lose, you go to borrow usury, how can you borrow that money? It's all things that eat people and don't spit out bones, and they borrowed ten taels of silver, how much do you say they turned over? Fifty taels, a full fifty taels, isn't this drinking human blood? ”
"I didn't have the money to pay back, so I broke my hands and feet and became a cripple. Lying on the bed like a dead pig every day, people are paralyzed, but the account can't be eliminated, Erzhu Niang sold out the field, and borrowed a lot from relatives and friends, so that the hole was plugged, and I thought I could live a quiet life. Who knows something went wrong again. Aunt Zhao said and glanced at Gu Mingzhu.
Could it be that this mistake is related to yourself?
"Aunt Zhao, you go on." Gu Mingzhu intuitively felt that this matter had come to his head.
Really.
"Didn't Erzhu Dad sell you some wasteland? Those wasteland silver was taken by Erzhu's father and lost. This time, those people forced the door, and Erzhu Niang was ready to sell the fields to those people to estimate the silver, and those people estimated the fields to the silver, but the price was not too low, and the best good land was valued according to the wasteland, and the wasteland was dozens of dollars per acre, and the fertile land was five or six taels of silver per acre, isn't this a pit person? ”
"But if they can't hand over the money, they are clamoring to kill Erzhu's father, Erzhu is now broken a leg, and his hand has also been stomped on, and if he fights again, he will die.
"This matter should be over, I didn't expect that when those people were selling these fields, they found that there were dozens of acres of wasteland on the barren beach that were sold to you by Erzhu's father, and the silver was also taken away, so that the silver was worse again, and they came to the door in a fit of anger, and insisted that Erzhu Niang take out the silver of the dozens of acres of wasteland sold to you."
"Erzhu Niang, that has silver? They hit the idea on Erzhu, and wanted to catch Erzhu and sell it to pay off the debt, Erzhu Niang was angry, so she threw a white silk and hanged herself, and those people saw the human life, so they ran away in a panic, threatening to arrest people in a few days. Ay! This matter is not over, Erzhu Niang is afraid that she will not be able to think about it in the future, she is a lone seedling in Erzhu, without Erzhu, how will she live in the future? ”
Gu Mingzhu looked at the young man kneeling beside Erzhu Niang, and couldn't help asking, "A boy, so old, what can he do if he sells it?" ”
"You don't understand this, Erzhu is handsome, some big families, the owner has unique tastes, I like this young and handsome little boy, it is said that he can sell for a lot of money!"
Gu Mingzhu heard a chill, but she didn't expect that there really would be a prostitution. It's just that those people are too hateful, and those dozens of acres of wasteland are worth four or five taels of silver, and forcing people to death for four or five taels of silver is really dehumanizing.
"Did they say when they would come back?" Gu Mingzhu asked.
"As soon as Erzhu Niang wakes up, I'm afraid it won't be long before she comes over!" Aunt Zhao said worriedly.
Gu Mingzhu nodded, those people would not let go of the Erzhu family.
Now the expedient measure is not to let those people sell the two pillars.
Then he said to Aunt Zhao, "First send Erzhu to the barren beach, where there are a few simple houses, which are for the workers to rest, my father will keep vigil there, let him live with my father, don't run around these days." ”
Since the target of those people is Erzhu, they will not do anything to Erzhu's mother and Erzhu's father, if they really want to kill people, they will not be able to deal with the government.
