Chapter 52: Fortune and Misfortune Are Unpredictable
We all turned our heads to look over, only to see a young man in a pale yellow brocade coat, with his hands behind his back, walking down the stairs step by step, and came to the door, this person was tall and thin, and he was quite handsome, but since he said two cold words, between his eyebrows, it was still difficult to hide a trace of coldness. This person saw Tao Qiliang at a glance, and approached Tao Qiliang, and Tao Qiliang suddenly lowered his head in a panic, and said in a trembling voice: "Tang...... Cousin......"
It turns out that this imposing young man is Tao Qiliang's cousin, Tao Shangqian's son, Tao Xuanyi!
Tao Xuanyi sneered, glanced at Tao Qiliang disdainfully, and said: "A beggar is a beggar, even if you dress like a person, you are still a beggar after all!" ”
But seeing Tao Qiliang lowering his head and not daring to speak, I couldn't be angry, so I pulled Tao Qiliang aside, pointed at Tao Xuanyi angrily and said: "Qiliang has already saluted you, it is said that it has been liberated for several years now, and these red tapes should have been saved a long time ago, but Qiliang is still respectful to you, a broken cousin, if you don't have a beggar, how can you not even be a beggar?" Isn't there a little etiquette and a little tutor?! ”
"You!" Tao Xuanyi suddenly glared at me angrily, gritted his teeth, turned his head to look at Tao Qiliang again, and then sneered: "I said, I dare to find a sharp-toothed helper, no wonder a poor beggar can pretend to be a human being!" ”
I also sneered: "Some people are human, but they have wolf hearts and dog lungs inside......
"You dare to scold me?!" Tao Xuanyi suddenly stretched out his hand to rush towards me, but Wang Chunyuan on the side hurriedly grabbed him and comforted him with a smile, Tao Xuanyi snorted coldly, withdrew his hand and straightened his clothes, and turned to Wang Chunyuan and said, "Boss Wang, is that piece of land really worth that much money?" If you feel at a loss, you can either sell it to him, or I can buy it. This poor beggar wants to turn over, but I don't want him to do it! ”
Wang Chunyuan hurriedly wiped the beads of sweat on his cheeks, and said with a smile: "Young Master Tao, let me tell you the truth, that land is not a good land, it is either dry or flooded every year, there is no harvest at all, even if you let Qiliang take it back, I am afraid it will be difficult to feed a person, I have earned this deal in the end." But it's a big loss to the kid. ”
Tao Qiliang smiled gratefully: "Uncle Wang, as long as I can harvest a grain of grain, I will also plant it, after all, it is my family's ancestral business, even if I can't support myself, it doesn't matter, I can also work as a helper elsewhere." ”
When Tao Xuanyi heard this, he immediately laughed: "It turned out to be a piece of broken ground...... Since this beggar can still take out a hundred yuan, it is estimated that he will give everything he has, Boss Wang, you might as well sell it to him. Seven taels, I can tell you, once you buy this land, you will no longer be a beggar, but a person like an ordinary person, so in the future, you are not allowed to beg on the street, even if you starve to death, you deserve it, once I find out that you are begging, I will tell the people on the street that you are deceiving everyone's sympathy, and at that time, see who will give you a penny! ”
Hearing Tao Xuanyi's words, I was angry in my heart, it turned out that the land couldn't be planted at all, Tao Qiliang took out a hundred yuan at once, that is not a small amount, in case you take it back and can't plant, wouldn't it be a piece of land for nothing, and also folded a big lottery, seven taels, seven taels, this guy is really stupid, I also said earlier that he was lucky, now it's good, it can be said that he is happy and sad!
"Qiliang, why don't you buy that piece of land......" I whispered to Tao Qiliang.
"Shut up!" Tao Xuanyi suddenly pointed at me and said, "Whether to buy or not is a matter of seven taels, what are you talking about as an outsider?" By the way, I don't know when you came to our ceramic town, I don't know your honorable name? It's so an eye-opener for me, a hillbilly! ”
I sneered and said: "I'm the heroic man who pulls out a knife to help me when I see injustice, I just can't get used to seeing you bully seven taels of honesty, you can come up and compete if you are not convinced, seven taels are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you, but I am relying on your father's power to show off his might, leaving your father Tao Shangqian, you are the real helpless beggar, hum!" ”
Tao Xuanyi was so angry that he wanted to jump up, but he was still stopped by Wang Chunyuan: "Young Master Tao, I'm here today...... On the first day of opening, there was an accident, but it couldn't end...... Who, since you didn't grab the lottery, and you have no relatives with seven taels for no reason, if you come out to see the excitement, please go back, we Chunyuan Lou don't do your business! ”
I didn't expect that I was put out by Wang Chunyuan's three shop guys, I was just thrown on the street, and I suddenly shook my shirt angrily, this Tao Xuanyi, I thought I would be afraid of him, it's really funny, I haven't performed the leg and foot kung fu that I practiced with my master, if I really want to fight, I have to beat off your two front teeth! I...... I was just about to rush over again to stop Tao Qiliang and Wang Chunyuan from signing the contract for the sale of land, when the corner of my eye suddenly swept to the master who was sitting at a tea stall not far away drinking tea, and I wilted all of a sudden......
Coming to Master with my head down, I honestly lowered my head and asked, "Master, your old man has also come to see the excitement......
The master put down the teacup vigorously and said angrily, "Aren't you quite capable?" If you want to beat people, you go! I'm worried about the teacher, I don't have a show, just to see how your leg and foot kung fu are doing! ”
My legs were weak and I almost knelt on the ground, but I knew that no one could recognize me and Master at this time, especially Tao Shangqian, so I quickly admitted my mistake: "Master, I know that I am wrong, I shouldn't have instigated Qiliang to come to beg for a lottery, and folded in a big jackpot and a hundred yuan......"
"Humph!" Master glared at me and said, "You said you knew that you were wrong, you know what a fart!" Tao Xuanyi is Tao Shangqian's son, if you hurt him, it is equivalent to a showdown with Tao Shangqian now, the matter of Tao Qi's two families has not been solved yet, you actually want to make a big fuss in Ceramic Town, two dogs, two dogs, you are becoming more and more capable! ”
"Master, I really shouldn't have a conflict with that Tao Xuanyi, but he is also too bullying, he doesn't treat Qi Liang as a human being, and he knows that the land in the back mountain can't be planted, but he let Qi Liang buy it, and he doesn't let Qi Liang continue to beg on the street when he has nothing to eat in the future, he is clearly forcing Qi Liang to a desperate road!" I immediately complained, but when I saw Master's angry eyes, I quickly lowered my head again.
The master then sighed lightly and said, "Do you think seven taels are really stupid? You're really stupid to see as a teacher! Do you want to continue begging after seven or two days? ”
When I heard that, I slapped the back of the head, right...... Tao Xuanyi told Qi Liang that he could no longer beg, isn't this exactly what Master and I want? We are all encouraging Tao Qiliang to support himself, and Tao Xuanyi's difficulties have made Tao Qiliang change from a beggar to a normal person, even if the harvest of that land is not good, it is better than no harvest, why did I drill the tip of the horns for a while? Although Tao Xuanyi thought that he had forced Tao Qiliang to a dead end, he didn't know that he had invisibly pushed Tao Qiliang to the person who was on the top of the person, so I should thank Tao Xuanyi for his stupidity!
I smiled, but before I could speak, I heard Master frown and whisper: "There are two people coming at you, like Tao Xuanyi's people, you pretend to be drinking tea here, and then lead them to the dark alley, and then throw them away."
I was shocked and nodded to Master, but just as I turned my head into the dark alley, I couldn't help but turn my head and glance at the two people behind me......
