Chapter 54: Awakening

"Stinky boy, wake up!" Old Yang Tou and the shopkeeper came to Lin Zu's room again.

Lin Zu didn't even open his eyes, he turned his back to the two of them.

"Stinky boy, get up, follow me!"

Old Yang kept pushing Lin Zu, and Lin Zu finally reacted. "What exactly are you going to do? Can't you just be an apprentice without me? ”

"Lao Tzu is not uncommon to you, you stinky boy, I am not worth it for your father, at such an old age, I have to whisper for you."

"I don't know what you're talking about." He grabbed the quilt and covered his head, not wanting to listen again.

Old Yang Tou and the shopkeeper glanced at each other and took out the rope behind him.

Lin Zu was tied with a rope on his body, and he was led by Lao Yang Tou on the street, and when he was pointed at, Lin Zu's face was a little hot. "Where the hell are you taking me?"

"What? You kid still feel ashamed? Lao Yang couldn't help but tease, "Don't worry, it's almost here." ”

The three of them turned a corner, walked into an alley, and came to the backyard of a house. I only heard the voices of two women inside.

A young woman said, "Aunt Lin, the clothes you washed yesterday are still a little unclean, you can wash them again!" ”

"Good! I'll definitely pay attention to it later. ”

"You've said this many times, I see that you've put up with you many times when you're old, I'm spending money to save your mind, not looking for trouble. This is the last time, if there is a next time..."

Aunt Lin hurriedly interrupted the young woman, "No, no, there will be no next time, don't worry!" ”

"It's not easy for me to see you, so I'll put up with you again and work hard!"

"Good ! Rest assured! ”

There is no need for Lao Yang to say anything, Lin Zu has already heard that this Aunt Lin is his mother-in-law. Listening to the conversation between the two in the courtyard, Lin Zu only felt a hot pain on his face, and lowered his head and was reluctant to speak.

Old Yang Tou and the shopkeeper glanced at Lin Zu, nodded with a smile of relief, and put down the big stone in their hearts. However, what should be done still had to be done, and the two took Lin Zu, who was very cooperative, to the dock where Lin's father was.

However, this time, Father Lin's experience was not as gentle as Mother Lin's. Before the three of them reached the pier, they heard a middle-aged man's scolding.

"I said you are a bad old man, grandpa, I kindly took you in, neither beat and scolded you, nor deducted your wages! You are good, and you will take revenge. Do you know how long it will take you to pay for this item? Five days! ”

"Foreman, I must move well and lose your money as soon as possible, I... I'll go now. ”

"Stop!" The foreman took a few steps forward, stood in front of Father Lin, bent down and faced Father Lin, raised his eyebrows and said, "Who told you to move?" You must lose this money, but from today onwards, you don't have to come again. I'm here! I can't afford to hire you. ”

"Foreman, I really need this job, you can do it, give me another chance."

"Old man, don't be embarrassed, get out of here, don't get in the way of your grandfather and me." As he spoke, he pushed Father Lin, but Father Lin didn't stand firm and staggered.

"I beg you, give me another chance!" Father Lin stepped forward and grabbed the foreman's clothes.

"What are you doing! It's dead! Don't get people away yet! The two little minions stepped forward and dragged Father Lin away, and the foreman patted his clothes and turned to leave.

Lin Zu, who was standing in the distance, couldn't help it, and at this time, he stepped forward and pushed away the two little minions. "Let go of my dad!"

The foreman heard Lin Zu's voice and turned his head to look over. "Yo~ Who did I think I was! It turned out to be a waste who eats and waits for death! ”

"Who are you talking about?"

"Who do you say I'm talking about? Lying at home all day, let your dad come out to work as a coolie to serve you, you say you are not a waste, then what are you? Oh~ It could also be a cripple. When the foreman finished speaking, some of the workers on the dock burst into laughter.

"You... You guys..."

The shopkeeper was afraid that Lin Zu would make a big deal out of it, so he stepped forward and grabbed him. "Foreman, although this matter is indeed wrong with the old man, it is too much for you to talk like this!"

"Yo~ Shopkeeper Qi! You didn't stay in the prayer building, how did you get to this rough place? "The foreman used to befriend Qi as the shopkeeper, but now the prayer building is lonely, and the foreman looks down on him.

"Came with a friend." Shopkeeper Qi doesn't want to deal with this kind of villain.

"Friends?" The foreman squinted at Lin Zu behind the shopkeeper Qi and said, "Could it be that this is the friend of the shopkeeper Qi?" ”

"Exactly."

The foreman tapped his head with his middle and forefinger, lowered his head and pretended to think for a while, and said: "'People gather by like, and things by groups'! Waste likes to stay with waste! ”

"Say it again!" Before Shopkeeper Qi could speak, Lin Zu was already furious. Old Yang Tou also had a calm face on the side, staring at the foreman.

Dog's eyes look at things that are low to people. Shopkeeper Qi cursed secretly in his heart, stopping Lin Zu and still maintaining his composure on his face. "I don't know if you've ever heard another saying: 'One day the dragon will get water, and the water of the Yangtze River will flow backwards.'" One day the tiger will return to the mountain, and half of the sky will be stained with blood. ’”

After speaking, he took out his purse, "This tael of silver, is it enough to compensate you for your goods?" ”

"Don't take it yet." The foreman tilted his head and motioned to the men next to him to take the money.

"Let's go!" Shopkeeper Qi gave the money, and then helped Father Lin and left the dock with Lin Zu.

Looking at the depressed backs of several people, the foreman sneered and said loudly to the people next to him: "See, this is the so-called pretense, and I thought I was the big boss before!" ”

Back at the Lin family, Lin Zu talked with Lin's father in the house for a long time. Shopkeeper Qi and Lao Yang Tou sat opposite each other in the courtyard, waiting for Lin Zu to come out.

"If this stinky boy is still obsessed, he really won't be a thing."

"Don't worry! This time, he will definitely change his ways. ”

Lao Yang nodded and suddenly remembered something, looked at the shopkeeper Qi and asked, "You are really generous, the silver can buy him several bags of goods, and you just gave it like that?" ”

"I'm so angry, where is the generosity! I still have blood dripping from my heart! Shopkeeper Qi shook his head helplessly and said, "This face! Sometimes I really can't ask for it, I live to suffer! ”

"You! I'm old, and I'm still fighting for these. ”

"Who's the age, you say? You forget about your own age, and you still say me? I'm in the prime of life, not like you, who is old. ”

"You..." Old Yang Tou wanted to fight with Shopkeeper Qi a few more words, but Lin Zu pushed the door out, and he hurriedly sat up and put on the master's shelf.

As soon as Lin Zu came out, he knelt down straight in front of Lao Yangtou. "Master, the apprentice is not filial, and he will cause trouble for you."

Old Yang Tou looked around at the things in the courtyard, but he didn't look at him.

Lin Zu saw that Lao Yang ignored him, and said to Shopkeeper Qi: "Shopkeeper Qi, thank you, I will return the silver to you as soon as possible." ”

"Also? What do you take back, you are like this, will anyone still want you? What if one day you fall in love with a woman again, you are deceived again, and you are depressed again, what should people do? ”

"Master, I know it's wrong, and I swear to you that there will never be a next time. Don't be angry. ”

"Don't call me, I'm not your master."

"Master, what I said before was all foolishness, please forgive me!"

"Alright! Old Yang Tou, the children have all admitted their mistakes, what are you still doing? The shopkeeper Qi on the side couldn't look past it, and said a few words for Lin Zu.

"What's the matter with you! I'm teaching my disciples! What are you doing here? ”

"Hey! You old boy, we're here together, you're trying to get rid of me!" ”

"I'm too lazy to talk to you." In front of Lin Zu, Lao Yang Tou didn't want to argue with Shopkeeper Qi more.

"Cut, I'm too lazy to talk to you."

Glancing at Lin Zu, who was still kneeling, Lao Yang still had a straight face and a stiff tone. "What are you still kneeling for? I want you to get up! ”

"I don't dare." Lin Zu stood up and stood beside Old Yang Tou respectfully.

"What are you going to do in the future?"

"I will try my best to find a job, and I won't let my father and master worry about me anymore."

"Then you go to Shopkeeper Qi to help him! By the way, use your wages to pay off your debts. ”

"Well, it's not good!" Lin Zu seemed to have some concerns and was reluctant to go to the prayer tower.
