Chapter Seventy-One: A Loving Mother Loses Her Son
"It's... It's not appropriate. Yang Chengli looked at him with embarrassment.
Shen Kang waved his hand and said, "But you can't give it for nothing." ”
"That's nature, nature."
Shen Kang said: "Thirty taels of silver, even if we sell this rotten gambler for ten rounds, it is not enough, and we don't expect him to earn money and return it." It's just that you also know that our family has only a few acres of land in the market, and we also need someone to do it. ”
Yang Chengli listened to his words, and immediately understood Shen Kang's intentions, he nodded and said: "It's okay, then let Wang Er work for your family to pay off the debt, with me as a witness, he can't rely on it." ”
Shen Kang arched his hand and said, "Then thank you for Master Li." He turned his eyes to look at Wang Er and said, "After healing the injury, start working, if you are really diligent, we will not treat you badly." He snorted in disgust and added, "If you are in your thirties, if you do any evil things, think about the old lady in the family." Can you bear to let her send a white-haired person to a black-haired person? He shook his head with a sigh.
He looked at Shen Cheng again and asked, "Dad, is this okay?" ”
Shen Chang sighed, nodded, and then said, "Wang Er, you can do it yourself." ”
Wang Er understood that the Shen family had given him a way to live, and he also knew that the Shen family was kind, so he dared to come to the door many times to provoke, and now in this scene, he cried bitterly again.
The woman who usually treated him kindly was a femme fatale. He was beaten or scolded, but he was sincere in saving him from the sea of suffering.
He couldn't help but think that if he and the Shen family had a different angle, it would be good if he didn't step forward and spit a few mouthfuls of spit, where would he take the silver to save people and give him a way out of life?
He has always been impatient with those preachy masters, but the virtue of these people to repay grievances with virtue made him feel for the first time what it means to be lucky and what it means to be unrewarded.
He cried profusely, and while wiping the tears on his face with his sleeve, he choked up and said: "Uncle Shen, thank you, thank you, thank you, Shen Kang, I thank you, village chief, thank you, thank you!" I, I'm not human! Ignoring the wetness and stickiness in his crotch, he knelt on his legs, kowtowed, and slapped himself.
Shen Kang was impatient to look at his painful appearance, and only thought that if he could reform himself, then give him a way to live, and if he dared to do anything to be sorry for their family...
It shouldn't be difficult to come out with some firepower "firecrackers", I don't know what it looks like for people to explode on the spot, but after thinking about it, I still feel that I have to spare him and be very depressed.
The dealer on the side sat on the back of the person with his feet up, and he was not in a hurry to come forward to urge, but only looked at Wang Eryi from a distance and cried and laughed for a while, not afraid of the two adults, but as if he was afraid of the little doll, he felt a little puzzled.
At this time, Shen Cheng stepped forward, took the nickname commonly used by people, and carefully weighed thirty taels of silver. He bent down and said, "Thirty taels of silver will be given to you, and you won't let him enter the door to gamble in the future." ”
The dealer took a look at it, and when he reached his hand, he knew that thirty taels was a lot. smiled and said: "We open the door to do business, how can there be a reason to push the guests out of the door." ”
"This..."
Shen Chengyu stopped.
The dealer squinted at Shen Cheng's remaining few taels of silver, smiled and squinted: "This master, I see that you are naturally rich and noble, do you want to come to the small shop to have two handfuls?" Small bags, you don't lose money! ”
Shen Cheng's family has been a farmer in the land for generations, and there are not many common villains in the market, seeing this dealer with a frank face, he can't believe that this is the same person who wants to cut off people's hands and feet, and is vicious.
Shen Kang stood up from behind him, smiled kindly, and deliberately raised his voice and said, "If he goes to gamble again, we won't stop him, but at that time, we won't just take the silver out to buy his hands and feet." He arched his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Lao is tired of falling when the knife falls, don't be merciful." ”
Speaking of the last word, his words were almost squeezed out of his teeth, and he didn't deliberately look at Wang Er's reaction, but he could also feel the frightened eyes from behind him.
The dealer looked at him suspiciously, smiled and arched his hand: "The little young master is born extraordinary, and the little one has the eyes to know Mount Tai." ”
Shen Kang nodded abruptly and replied, "I'm not your gold master, why should the eldest brother be polite to me." After speaking, he looked up at his father and said, "Dad, let's go home." ”
"Huh." Shen Cheng smiled straightforwardly, and turned his head to help Wang Er, whose legs were weak and couldn't stand up.
As soon as the group arrived at the ox cart, a stench hit them, Shen Chang raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, and reached out to help Wang Er, muttering, "Huh... What does this smell like? ”
Wang Er blushed apologetically and said, "I, I'll just slip to the side and lean on." ”
Shen Kang frowned and said, "What is the big husband standing up to the sky and mother-in-law, hurry up and sit down." ”
Wang Er unconsciously lowered his neck, but in the end he was still leaning on the corner of the rear of the car, holding his legs with both hands, not daring to move.
Shen Chang saw that Wang Er's lower body was wet, and he couldn't help but sigh, and gathered the hay around him to cover him, first, to cover his shame, and secondly, he was afraid that he would freeze his lower body.
Wang Er nodded gratefully, choking again.
If a person drinks water, he knows whether he is warm or cold.
Shen Kang, who was sitting in front of the car, leaned on and only sighed, no coincidence could not be written. If I hadn't met him today, Wang Er's half life would have been explained, and they would have met him. God gave him another chance, I wonder if he can get rid of that stinky problem?
That night, Wang Er washed the dirt off his body and sat in front of the stove, his eyes lost.
The Queen Mother came behind him tremblingly with a single garment, and draped it over his shoulders. Wang Er trembled, as if frightened, turned his eyes to look at the old lady, and said nothing.
"Son."
"Mother."
The skin on the queen mother's face was furrows and furrows, and it was clear that a woman in her fifties was about to grow old, but she was as old as an old man in her seventies. Her eyes were particularly cloudy because she had been doing needlework and weaving bamboo baskets in the dimly lit room for many years. Her ten fingers and the first bone are deformedly curved, and in modern times, this disease is called rheumatoid arthritis.
She put a pair of tired and deformed hands on his legs, looked at him with dizzy eyes, and said slowly: "Son, mother... I don't know how many more days I can live. If you don't say some things, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to say them. ”
Wang Er let out the low stool he was sitting on, helped her sit down, frowned, and said a little impatiently: "Mother, what did you say." ”
The Queen Mother shook her head, sat on the low stool, just stroked his hand, and muttered for a long time before she said slowly: "You ended up like this today, don't blame others, blame me." ”
"How can I blame you! It's not angry. ”
She shook her head and said: "People say that loving mothers are defeated, and your eldest brother died only a few days after he was born, and my mother was afraid of you... I'm afraid that you will also leave with your eldest brother, so no matter what you do, my mother will follow you, as long as you live, my mother is not afraid of no matter how hard and tired she is. ”
