Reading Pavilion 『 』, the full text is free to read. When Hu Changde was drinking with me next, he cried and talked about their family's sad past.

He has been emphasizing that he does not hate the Hu family, originally his family lived a rich life in Beijing, and he was happy, his father Hu Liuye was a good person who did not smoke or drink, I don't know when, after he was taken to play cards a few times, he gradually became obsessed with playing cards. At first, it was three cents and five cents to play, and then it was three and five pieces, and the more you played, the bigger it became. At first, I just played Zha Jian Er (playing Chick), and then gradually learned to play mahjong, and then push cards/nines, and throw dice.

When the family ran out of money, they went out to borrow money, and when they lost all the money they borrowed, they began to borrow from usury. In the end, I couldn't get along in the capital, so I came to this snake ditch.

Hu Changde has never mentioned Hu Liuye's stealing of things in the library, how can this kind of thing be mentioned?

Hu Changde and I began to drink, and I said, "How did Hu Liuye die?" ”

Hu Changde shook his head and said: "I thought it would be better when I got to Shepangou, but I didn't think it would be long before I got better, so I couldn't help but gamble again." Nine out of ten bets are lost, and there are more times to lose and fewer times to win. If you lose, you will frown, and when you win, you will start to eat and drink, and the little money you brought from Beijing/Beijing will soon be lost. ”

I said, "Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, if you get involved in gambling, this person will be ruined." Men will steal and rob because of gambling, women will sell their hue in exchange for gambling money because of gambling, and the soul of gamblers is extremely evil. ”

Hu Changde said: "That's right, gambling is the worst in the world!" Notice that I'm talking about most, not sin. ”

I understood him and nodded. But Hu Changde still didn't say how Hu Liuye died.

At this time, Hu Liuye's body was lying on the ground of the outhouse, lying on a row made of sorghum stalks. He was dressed in a shroud, with a yellow cloth covering his face and a melon-skin hat on his head. I looked at the six grandmothers who were keeping watch in the outhouse, and I said, "If you take one wrong step, you will fall into hell." ”

Mo Yan said: "Isn't there also a saying that you will ascend to the sky in one step? ”

Hu Changde smiled and said: "No matter how hard you try, you may not be able to live a happy life, one step to the sky is just an idiom, it does not exist in reality." Examples of one-step hell abound. ”

I drank until ten o'clock, and I could hear that although Hu Changde had always said that he didn't blame the Hu family, he was dissatisfied with the Hu family in his heart. He kept saying that Hu Liuye's gambling had nothing to do with him, and he shouldn't have been sent to this poor ravine.

He is not the same as Huzi. Huzi went to his uncle's house when he was very young, and his uncle's family was a poor peasant and a glorious family, so Huzi went to his uncle's house to get a better living environment.

Hu Changde is different, Hu Changde has lived in a big family since he was a child, and he has lived a good life. When he was thirty years old, he was suddenly driven into this ravine where rabbits don't, how could he not be resentful?

At this time, I whispered, "Brother Hu, have you thought about going back?" ”

Hu Changde waved his hand and said: "I can't go back, I can't go back in this life, let's go back in the next life." ”

I said, "Why? ”

"It's not that I don't want to go back, it's that the family rules don't allow it. If I show up in the North/Beijing, I'm going to break my legs and throw me back. ”

Mo Yan sighed at this time and said, "Brother Hu, I'm not provoking the relationship between you and the family, but this is too ruthless." You can call the police, you can ask the government to help you, you are from Beijing, you should live in Beijing. ”

Hu Changde waved his hand and said: "No, you don't understand the methods of the Hu family, whether it is an outsider or your own family, you are all the same ruthless." Especially that Hu Changsheng, he is simply a devil. Hu Xiaojun is actually his puppet. ”

I said: "Hu Xiaojun is no longer the head of the Hu family, Hu Junjie has been replaced." ”

Hu Changde looked at me, then nodded and said; "Sooner or later, it seems that Junjie's kid has grown up. In fact, letting Hu Xiaojun be the head of the family is also a transition, and sooner or later it will be given to Hu Junjie. ”

I snorted: "After all, they are all relatives, and now that the sixth master has also passed away, if you go to talk to Hu Changsheng, won't you let you go back?" ”

Hu Changde waved his hand again and said, "Impossible." ”

Speaking of this, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I recruited someone to provoke someone." ”

Where is there no resentment, this resentment is great.

Mo Yan said: "The family rules of the Hu family are too strict, gambling money and losing money are your own business, what does it have to do with the family?" I think the Hu family is also making a big fuss. ”

Hu Changde also drank a lot at this time, he heard Mo Yan say this, sighed and said: "If you want to blame me, blame my uncompetitive old father, he has passed away, and I am a junior, so I shouldn't say bad things about my father." But you also saw that, because of him, how much sin did my mother and I sin about? But it's finally the end. ”

Mo Pi said: "Is there another hidden secret? ”

Hu Changde snorted: "It's true that I didn't tell you the truth, if it's just gambling, as you said, it has nothing to do with the family." But the gambling money was lost in a hurry, and my father took advantage of his position to steal Curry's treasure and sell it, and after paying off the gambling debt, the rest of the money was gambled again. If you lose, you want to turn over the book, and the more you lose, the more you lose. According to my father, he wanted to use the money from the sale as the capital, and if he won, he would redeem the things and pay off his gambling debts, and then he would never gamble again. ”

I shook my head and said, "That's the gambler's mentality. In fact, the most damned person is the one who took the sixth master to the casino, who is this person! ”

Hu Changde looked at me and smiled: "Hu Changsheng." ”

When I heard this, I was stunned, and I said, "What? How is this possible? ”

Hu Changde said: "The key to the family treasury has always been in our hands, and it is an inheritance system, it stands to reason that my father is old, and the key is to be passed on to me." This is the rule set by our ancestors. Hu Changsheng gave my father a trap, and my father got into it, and he was out of control. I even think that those loan sharks were given to my father by Hu Changsheng. ”

I said, "In this way, it is likely that Hu Changsheng harmed the sixth master, and then seized the power of the sixth master." Naturally, the key to this great treasury fell into his hands. This is the legendary feud of the wealthy family! ”

Hu Changde raised his glass and said, "Brother, let's listen to what we say, don't pass it on again." I'm guessing too. ”

Mo Pi said: "This is not speculation, in fact, my father told me so. said that the sixth master was wronged. ”

Hu Changde's eyes suddenly turned red at this time, and he looked at me and said, "Brother, let me tell you the truth, my father committed suicide by taking poison." owed a lot of gambling debts, and was forced to have no choice but to die. When people die, those who ask for debts will not come, and my mother and I will be able to live a pure life. ”

I said, "The sixth master is also a bloody man!" ”

Mo Yan said: "Yes, the sixth master is affectionate and righteous, if he hadn't been framed, he would still be enjoying happiness in Bei/Beijing at this time." ”

Hu Changde whispered: "I won't tell you anything, I still have a daughter in Beijing, who has lived with my ex-wife." After this happened, I immediately divorced my wife and asked her to take her daughter back to her parents' house. If it weren't for the quick departure, I guess my wife and children would have been kicked out with me. ”

I said, "Brother Hu, you did the right thing. Where does my sister-in-law live now? I have time to visit my sister-in-law to see if there is anything I need help with. ”

Mo Yan whispered at this time: "Brother Hu, haven't you thought about taking the key back?" Didn't you think about going back? ”

Hu Changde said: "How easy it is to talk about! Hu Changsheng, my eldest brother, is cunning and cunning, and no one can calculate him. ”

I said, "Brother Hu, if you want to go back, I can help you." It's actually not that hard. ”

Hu Changde said: "You help me? How can you help me? ”

I said, "In this way, you give me the name, nickname, and address of the sixth master's card friends." I don't think this matter can be left at that. ”

Hu Changde said: "Brother, if you help me, you have to do something." ”

I said: "If I say that I like to fight unevenly, you will definitely not believe it, I will tell you the truth, straight to the point, I will help you sit as the head of the Hu family, and you will hand over the business of Panjiayuan to me to take care of, how about it?" ”

Hu Changde said: "Why should I believe you? ”

I said, "Presumably you also have some old acquaintances in the capital, you can inquire about who I am Chen Yuan." ”

Hu Changde picked up the wine glass at this time, and there was no wine in the wine glass, so he still put it on his mouth and drank it. I didn't drink anything, and I didn't know it. He was thinking. After a while, he said, "Pan Jiajia'er's business is not small. ”

I said, "Does size have anything to do with you?" Do you really plan to break up and spend the rest of your life here? Without my help, you don't want to go back for the rest of your life. This is a good deal, you think about it, tomorrow after we bury the old man, you can go back to Beijing/Beijing with me, live in my house first, and listen to my arrangement. ”

I understand that Hu Changde must be tempted and must be submissive, which is an irresistible temptation for him. He wants revenge, he can't wait for Hu Changsheng to die, he wants to be the head of the Hu family, he wants to be General Hu.

And I urgently need such a person to be my puppet and be at my mercy. Hu Changsheng, now you can be regarded as caught by me in the soft underbelly, this time you are dead. High-quality and free reading is in the Reading Pavilion.
