Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Hearts of Parents in the World (Part II)
"Li Dajiang, have you made enough trouble?"
Li Chengyuan really couldn't stand it, he grabbed Li Dajiang's neck with one hand, lifted him up halfway, and slapped him directly in the face with the other hand.
Li Dajiang's face was full of horror, and he whispered.
"Patriarch, you can beat me and scold me, I just ask you if you can be quiet. Ah Niu is still sleeping, and my son is still sleeping. ”
Li Chengyuan looked at Li Dajiang, who was on the verge of collapse, and the raised hand stopped in mid-air, unable to fight anymore.
His hands hung down weakly, and Li Dajiang was thrown heavily to the ground.
"Da Jiang, it's not that I'm ruthless and I have to kill your son, but that the thing he committed this time is too big, so big that no one can protect him. Do you understand? ”
Li Dajiang's face was covered with blood, and his eyes gradually became a little sluggish.
"But patriarch, I only have this one son...... He's just a kid. ”
Li Chengyuan looked angry, gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice.
"Kid? Is it a child who can kill people in the street? Can the child set fire to the house? Just because he is a child in your eyes, can he do something wrong with impunity? Li Dajiang, tell me, which family rule says that children can not be punished? You tell me. ”
"Li Dajiang, no matter how bad you behave, you can't fool me. I know if you're stupid or not. ”
"Come, tell me, don't you really know what your son has been doing in the past two years? Don't you know why the ninth master died? ”
"When the villagers were selling medicines, he deliberately lowered the price, bullied his fellow clans as a thug in the pharmacy, and pretended to be a tiger outside under the identity of a fellow in the pharmacy, Li Dajiang, do you really think I don't know?"
"Let me tell you Li Dajiang, if it weren't for the fact that I am the patriarch of the Li clan and need evidence when doing things, would I have tolerated him until now?"
"You're a smart man, don't tell me you can't see it."
The more Li Chengyuan spoke, the more excited he became, if it weren't for the fact that Li Dajiang was so pitiful to see him, Li Chengyuan might have started beating people.
And every time Li Chengyuan said a word, the pain on Li Dajiang's face would be a little more, he knelt on the ground, holding his head in both hands, and suppressed his crying.
"That's not Ah Niu's fault, it's my fault, it's my father's fault."
"If I hadn't insisted on letting him go to the pharmacy as an apprentice, he wouldn't have come to this point, and if I hadn't deliberately indulged him since he was a child, he wouldn't have developed the character he has now. It's all my fault, it's all my ......."
Li Chengyuan didn't speak again, because he knew that what Li Dajiang said was a fact.
Everyone thinks that Li Dajiang is stupid and stupid, but Li Chengyuan knows that all this is just deliberately shown by this man.
If it weren't for the indelible psychological shadow left by the fire that year, his current achievements would definitely not be what they are now.
"But Patriarch, Ah Niu is my son, and no one knows him better than I do. Although he has a short temper, he will never do anything to kill people on the street, even if it is the Ninth Master, it will definitely not be intentional by Ah Niu, do you believe it? ”
Li Dajiang tried his best to stabilize his emotions, he slowly raised his head and looked directly into Li Chengyuan's eyes.
Li Chengyuan and Li Dajiang looked at each other and nodded slowly.
To tell the truth, things have developed so far, but anyone who is smart can see that all the things that happen now originate from the death of the ninth master.
Liu Mazi, Li Aniu, Yuan Rentang. These three people and places directly related to the death of the Ninth Master have already suffered one by one.
If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that all of this is like a pair of big hands behind the back, secretly driving the whole development of the incident.
It's just that it's hard to see who exactly is behind the scenes.
Therefore, when Li Dajiang talked about the death of the ninth master, he no longer had any worries.
"Patriarch, although I am timid, it doesn't mean that I am stupid."
"I'll tell you the truth. On the day of the ninth master's accident, Ah Niu came back late, and out of worry, I sat at the door and waited for him. But when I saw Ah Niu's look when he came back, I knew that Ah Niu must have caused a big trouble outside. ”
The words have come to this, and there is no cowardice on Li Dajiang's face, he gritted his teeth and said.
"How my father died, others may not know, patriarch, don't you know?"
Li Chengyuan took a deep breath and did not answer.
Li Dajiang continued.
"When my father picked a hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflori, he happily took it to the pharmacy to sell it for money, but the price given by the pharmacy was too low, so my father didn't sell it. As a result, at night, my house was robbed, and my father ......."
"You also took over the things back then, right? The result? The Song family simply launched a family with a son to fight for his life, and the matter ended like this. ”
Li Dajiang gritted his teeth when he said these two sentences, and his words were full of slow hatred.
"The same thing happened to Ah Niu, patriarch, do you think I can't see it?"
"I know that the pharmacy must have taken a fancy to other people's medicinal herbs again, and Ah Niu must have participated. So the next day, I made a point of asking who had an accident. But, but ...... But I didn't expect it to be the Ninth Master. ”
When Li Dajiang said this, his face turned red, and he held his breath in his chest, and his face was flushed, and he was knocked his chest several times before he came over.
"The young people in the town may only think that the Ninth Master is an ordinary old man, but those of us who are a little older, who doesn't know the relationship between you and the Ninth Master? So at that time, I knew it was going to be bad. ”
"What I didn't expect was that before I could think of a countermeasure, Ah Niu would be instigated by Liu Mazi to seek to seize the property of the Ninth Master."
Li Dajiang slapped himself twice, and his face also swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Blame me, I found out too late. It wasn't until Ah Niu came home covered in and urine that I finally realized that Ah Niu was really going to have a big accident. ”
"Holding on to the last bit of hope, I waited for Ah Niu to go to work in the pharmacy, but it didn't take long for him to come back, and the job in the pharmacy was lost."
"That's when I knew that there was no room for recovery. At the same time, I offended the patriarch you and the Song family, and I can't think of a way to save him. ”
"In addition, the day before, in order to seek justice for the ninth master, your wife made a big fuss in the pharmacy, not only forced the pharmacy to change the shopkeeper, but even the head of the Song family was forced to have no choice but to go to the pharmacy in person. I think after that day, the old shopkeeper of the pharmacy should never show up again, right? ”
"The head of the family apologized to someone personally? What a loss of face. ”
Li Dajiang closed his eyes and said bitterly.
"The lives of the poor, how can the face of those big families be valuable. Patriarch, tell me, the Song family has lost such a big face, who should they ask for? ”
Without waiting for Li Chengyuan to speak, Li Dajiang continued.
"Of course it's Ah Niu, who let him cause all these things?"
"After figuring this out, I knew that the town couldn't stay any longer, at least Ah Niu definitely couldn't stay in the town anymore."
"Originally, I wanted Ah Niu to go directly, but now it looks like winter is coming, Ah Niu has never suffered since he was a child, how can he survive? So I told my wife that Ah Niu would hide first, and I would go with him to build a thatched house in the mountains first, so that he could have a place to live. ”
When he said this, Li Dajiang's face was full of remorse.
"I thought that Ah Niu was not the son of someone else's family, so the Song family didn't dare to make a move on Ah Niu so quickly. I thought that as long as Ah Niu stayed at home, no one would be able to do anything to him. So I thought that I would not let him suffer with us, let him hide in the house first, and then take him over when we had built a hut, so that he would suffer less. ”
"But...... But I couldn't have imagined that just such a little time, just such a little time, Ah Niu would have an accident. ”
Li Dajiang pounded the ground with one hand, and his hands were full of blood after a while.
He regretted it so much, why did he let the child stay in this dangerous town knowing that someone in the town wanted to harm his child, he hated it so much, he hated why he didn't let his wife stay to take care of the child in the first place.
If he had thought a little more, wouldn't his son have come to this point?
Li Chengyuan looked at Li Dajiang, who was in regret, and said with a hard heart.
"It's happened, is it any use for you to tell me about it now?"
Li Dajiang stopped his self-harming movements, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes and asked coldly.
"Patriarch, you said, Ah Niu was already frightened at that time, why did he not listen to me and left the house without permission?"
"Ah Niu usually has a very short temper, but he still never dares to kill anyone, why, why did he choose to kill Liu Mazi at this time? Not only that, but he also specially picked it to do it in public. Patriarch, do you think this is possible? ”
Li Chengyuan stared at Li Dajiang and said in a deep voice.
"What the hell are you trying to say? When Li Aniu killed someone, more than one person saw it, and he, Li Aniu, also admitted it himself, this matter is ironclad, and there is no chance of turning the tables around. ”
Li Dajiang looked up at the sky and gasped for breath.
"Patriarch, it's not that I don't believe you, I just want to say that Ah Niu didn't intentionally kill people, absolutely not, he was just framed by someone, patriarch."
Li Chengyuan did not sympathize with Li Dajiang, he pointed at Li Aniu and said.
"Regardless of whether he was framed or not, it is an indisputable fact that he Li Aniu killed someone. And about Li Aniu, we have already told the ancestors of the town in the ancestral hall. So no matter what you want to say, Li Aniu has to die here today, it's not negotiable. ”
He had already heard Li Dajiang's meaning, so he had to break all Li Dajiang's illusions before Li Dajiang could say the matter.
But Li Dajiang did not give up his idea because of his ruthlessness. Li Dajiang knelt close to Li Chengyuan and said.
"Patriarch, Ah Niu was really framed. But I don't ask the clan to let Ah Niu go, after all, he did kill people. However, I am willing to pay, shall I pay for my son's life? I can contribute a lot of money, as long as you can tell it, I will definitely make it for you. Moreover, I can take Ah Niu into the mountain, and promise that I will never let Ah Niu appear in front of everyone in my life, and I can still ......"
Before Li Dajiang finished speaking, Li Chengyuan was already trembling with anger, and he pointed at Li Dajiang and roared in a low voice.
"Li Dajiang ......"
Li Dajiang didn't give up, he turned to look at Liu Yunyi, who had been watching coldly.
"Patriarch Liu, I know that what Ah Niu did this time was very excessive, but this is because I, the father, did not discipline him well, and it is really not about the child. I'll give you money, I'll give you a lot of money, I just beg you, let the child go. I'll kowtow to you, kowtow to you......"
Just when Li Dajiang was desperately kowtowing to Liu Yunyi, Li Chengyuan kicked Li Dajiang's body, making the defenseless Li Dajiang roll directly on the ground several times.
At this time, Li Chengyuan's lungs were about to explode, how dare this Li Dajiang say such a thing? How dare he?
This kind of rebellious remark is simply a slap in the face of all the Li clan people in the town.
After Li Dajiang stopped rolling, he didn't get up immediately.
He lay there, staring blankly at the sky, muttering to himself.
"No matter what the cost, I'm willing, I'm willing. I just want Ah Niu to live, I just want my son to live......"
