Chapter 4: A Difficult Situation

After finishing the convenience, he returned to the courtyard, a small breeze blew, Chu Ze trembled, and walked towards Chu Mu, who was sweeping the floor in the yard.

"Mother, what about my brother? Why didn't you see him? Chu Ze came to Mother Chu and carefully looked at the woman in front of him. There is already white hair on the sideburns, the hair is pulled at random at the back of the head, there are many tears on the hand holding the broom, the calluses left by the perennial work are clearly visible, and the body is wearing coarse cloth clothes, and the two patches at the hem of the clothes are so dazzling, seeing this, Chu Ze can't help but feel sad.

"That rebel! He went out early in the morning, saying that the Nancheng River was going to repair a canal, and he had a salary of three cents a day, and he went early in the morning, and he didn't know whether he was really going or not." Mother Chu's words still carried anger at what Chu Qing had done before.

"Mother, the child believes in the brother. After this incident, I believe that my brother will be able to change his ways." Chu Ze comforted Chu Mu beside him.

"Don't talk about him. The ancestors blessed Ze'er and finally got better. Hungry? Mother boiled eggs for you, waiting for Mother to bring it to you" Chu Mu said and put aside the broom in her hand, walked into the kitchen, and took the eggs that had already been boiled. looked at Chu Ze carefully, and two lines of tears fell, "If you have something, what face do I have to go to see your father." ”

Feeling the temperature of the egg in his hand, Chu Ze's heart warmed, and he took Chu's mother's hand and smiled, "Mother, don't cry, I'm fine?" If you don't die in a catastrophe, there will be a blessing in the future, mother, you can rest assured. ”

It seemed that the smile had infected Chu's mother, and Chu's mother also smiled slightly, "It's okay if it's okay, it's okay if it's okay." But soon there was a complicated look on Chu Mu's face, as a person who had lived for two lifetimes, Chu Ze was not the fourteen or fifteen-year-old wooden boy who got up early, how could he not see that Chu Mu seemed to have something to say.

"Mother is in trouble?"

"It's not because of your brother that your family is like this now, you are bent on gaining fame and glorifying the lintel. Now there is no extra silver taels at home for you to study. It's all my fault, I didn't take care of your brother," Chu Mu looked disappointed and blamed herself.

"Mother, don't worry, the county school children are not going to go for the time being, as for the matter of gaining fame, the children are still young now, and they are not in a hurry." Chu Ze comforted Chu's mother while thinking, "With the knowledge reserve of the previous life, in the Tang Dynasty at this time, it is not easy to get a fame. As if thinking of something beautiful, Chu Ze grinned.

Chu Ze's performance made Chu's mother even more worried, Chu Ze was a stuffy gourd when he was a child, he was dedicated to studying, and he was stupid to everyone at home, except for the usual close relationship with Ya Mei'er. In addition, seeing Chu Ze's smirk, his hand unconsciously stretched out to Chu Ze's brow, wanting to touch it to see if Chu Ze had a fever, and his face was full of worry.

The coolness on his brow made Chu Ze excited, "Ah, what's wrong Mother?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay...."Probably thinking that the action just now was not appropriate, Chu Mu picked up the broom next to her and continued to sweep the floor. turned around and said to Chu Ze, "Ze'er eat the eggs quickly, it's not good to turn around and get cold."

"Hey, yes."

I was about to peel off the egg in my hand when I heard a voice from the gate of the courtyard, "Thirty dollars, but ready"! Looking up, I saw a group of people standing at the gate of the courtyard surrounded by a fence, a middle-aged man with a full face of flesh on his head, and a well-dressed young man standing next to him. After the boy, there were more than a dozen black-clothed thugs, with sticks in their hands, menacing!

The moment he saw this group of people, Chu Ze immediately remembered the information of this group of people in his mind. The executive's house in the casino, the young man next to him is Gao Zhe, Chu Ze's former classmate in the county school, but I don't know how he came with these people today. Chu Ze walked to the door quickly, "Thirty dollars?" Where did the thirty guan money come from? ”

"What? Still want to deny it? Isn't there enough beating the day before yesterday? The middle-aged man's tone was full of fierceness, and as he spoke, he walked towards Chu Ze and raised his hand to hit him. Next to her, Chu Mu saw it and hurriedly walked over with a broom!

said that it was too late, but I saw Chu Ze's hand leaning forward, grabbing the executive's outstretched arm, turning around, and with a hard "heh" in his mouth, a very standard shoulder fall knocked the executive to the ground. Something happened all of a sudden, and everyone in the yard was stunned!

"This nerd, why is he so good today?" Gao Zhe, who was standing on the side, thought secretly.

The executive who fell to the ground was angry, the horizontal flesh on his face was piled up, and a scar on his eyebrow bone was even more red, and he shouted angrily, "Beat me, kill him!" ”

Gao Zhe on the side of "Wait" stopped more than a dozen black-clothed thugs behind him. Tilting his head and looking at Chu Ze, "Chu Ze, you are also a scholar." How can you not know that you owe debts and repay money, this is a matter of course, if the gentleman in the county school sees you like this today, I don't know if he will praise you! He smiled as he spoke, full of pride!

"Gao Zhe, will Mr. praise me, don't bother you, but why did you come to my house today?"

Wang Zhe smiled, "I heard that the famous Chu Dacai was injured and fell into a coma the day before yesterday, and as a classmate, he should come to visit him" But there was no trace of concern in his tone, and he laughed again.

As he spoke, he stepped forward and took out a note from his arms and shook it in front of Chu Ze's eyes, "See clearly, this is the note set up by Chu Qing, take a good look at it clearly, the executive's family is the manager of the casino in my house, and Brother Ru owes two taels of silver in my casino, and it should be repaid!" After laughing, Gao Zhe seemed to be talking to himself, "That fool is so stupid, he borrowed usury at the slightest agitation."

After listening to this, Chu Ze understood everything, it turned out that the loan shark owed by his brother Chu Qing was set up by someone for him, that is, Gao Zhe came to the house today to humiliate himself. As a classmate who studied in the county together, although his predecessor Chu Ze had a wooden personality, he was serious about his studies, and he was often praised by his husband. And Gao Zhe often bullied his classmates because he relied on some assets in his family. Mr. often compared Chu Ze with Gao Zhe and used it to educate Gao Zhe, and over time, Gao Zhe became more annoyed with Chu Ze. It happened that Chu Qing often went to the Gao family's casino, so he used a trick to induce Chu Qing to owe usury.

After clarifying everything in this, Chu Ze secretly wrote down today's events, "A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late"!

"Gao Zhe, what do you want? Thirty yuan is not available today, and our family will not repay the loan shark owed by my brother, but it will take some time! Chu Ze hated Gao Zhe.

"That's it, just admit it! For the sake of the friendship of my classmates in the past, I will give you another month, and come back in a month! There won't be thirty dollars by then, huh! Think for yourself about the consequences! Gao Zhe said these words, of course, he was not thinking about the friendship of his classmates in the past, but to humiliate Chu Ze more times. Cats and mice, a few of them are caught and eaten, and then eaten when you have had enough, isn't it more fun! Gao Zhe smiled proudly: "Let's go!" ”

The executives on the ground also stood up at this time, glanced at Chu Ze hatefully, and gritted their teeth, "Boy, you wait for me, if you don't pay the money in a month, you must look good." After speaking, he turned around and followed his master and left the Chu family.

In the courtyard, only Chu Mu, who was standing on the side with a broom, shouted vigorously, "Evil, evil!" "There were tears on my face.

"Mother, don't worry, our family will be fine, I'll figure out a way for thirty yuan." As he spoke, he walked forward to wipe away the tears on Chu Mu's face, and whispered relief while wiping it.

It seems that the quarrel in the yard woke up the girl who was sleeping in the house, only to see her running over with her eyes rubbing, pulling Chu Ze's clothes, "Brother, are the bad guys coming to our house again?" Don't go with them, they're all bad people! The little girl's voice was full of horror, as if she remembered what happened the day before.

dotingly touched the little girl's head, "Girl, don't be afraid, as long as there is a brother, no one will take you away." ”

"Well, my brother is the best!" The little girl put the little head tied with the hair of the third prince of Nezha forward again.

looked at the little girl in front of her, her two big eyes were round and round, and there were two lines of tears hanging on her cheeks, but her face was a little yellow, obviously a little malnourished. Peel it off just now

The eggs that he ate in the future were handed to the little girl, "Girl, you're hungry, give it, eat this egg."

"I don't eat, my brother is in good health, my brother eats. My sister doesn't like eggs! The little girl excused herself sensibly, but she betrayed her by swallowing saliva unconsciously.

"Eat it, my brother has already eaten it just now." Chu Ze put the egg into the little girl's hand and looked at her encouragingly.

Chu Mu on the side looked at the picture in front of her, and her face finally improved, "Sister, my brother gave it to you, eat it, there is still it in the house." ”

The little girl picked up the egg and took a small bite and ate it, biting it again and again, as if she was afraid of eating too fast.

Looking at everything in front of him, Chu Ze sighed silently~ "I must make this family better, since God arranged for me to come here, I have to take on this family, mother, little sister, I will definitely let you live well." Chu Ze said to himself in his heart.
