Ji Xiaosi wanted to ask for advice, and Mr. Zheng wanted to get the happiness of "being a teacher", and the two hit it off.

In Zheng Wanjun's stunned, without anyone else (especially the Ji family) knowing, Ji Xiaosi became Mr. Zheng's personal disciple.

Ji Xiaosi still had to go to work, but after returning from the bookstore, he no longer asked Zhao Qingyun for advice, but went to Zheng's house to receive Mr. Zheng's strict education.

There are twelve hours a day, Ji Xiaosi works (and eats) for six hours, reads (and is scolded and scolded) for four hours, and only sleeps for two hours a day.

However, Ji Xiaosi still persevered.

The three months passed quickly, and Ji Xiaosi followed Mr. Zheng to learn three, hundred, and thousand, and began to read four books.

He was smart enough and harder, like a drowning man grasping at a straw and trying hard.

Mr. Cheng felt a growing sense of accomplishment.

He began to feel that Ji Xiaosi should spend all his time studying.

Instead of wasting your life by going to the bookstore.

But the group of people in the Ji family are all scoundrels and vampires.

If they knew that Mr. Zheng valued Ji Xiaosi, they would desperately rely on the Zheng family.

Although Mr. Zheng is not afraid, he is also troublesome.

Moreover, the Ji family is Ji Xiaosi's family in the end, if Ji Xiaosi ignores it, or is too decisive, it will not be good for him in the future.

"Rat-throwing bogey!"

Mr. Zheng sighed silently.

Just when Mr. Zheng was thinking about how to change this situation, something happened to the Ji family!

"Ji Dalang seems to have offended people, when he went to buy goods in other places, he passed by Shuangtou Mountain, and was kidnapped by the bandits of Shuangtou Mountain."

Twin Head Mountain is the most famous bandit in the neighborhood.

Raiding homes and houses, kidnapping tickets for extortion, almost every evil.

However, the big boss of Shuangtou Mountain is still a little smart, he waives the banner of "robbing the rich and helping the poor", does not harm the poor people, and does not dare to target the high-ranking families.

They plundered only those in the middle—the passing merchants, or the profiteers who were "unkind to the rich."

Moreover, they only seek money, not death.

The person who was kidnapped with the ticket, as long as he obediently paid the ransom, they would put the ticket back safely.

It is also the "rule" of the big boss, although Shuanglong Mountain is notorious, it has not aroused public anger, even the government, and it has only symbolically encircled and suppressed a few times.

There was no large-scale mobilization of officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits.

As long as the government is not serious, the mountain bandits in Shuangtou Mountain will not be clean.

More than ten years later, the bandits of Double-Headed Mountain still exist.

"Shuangtou Mountain is not a good man who 'robs the rich and helps the poor', they only tie up those who are really rich."

And Ji Dalang is just a small businessman who has opened a small shop, which is not enough for the "person ticket" standard of Shuangtou Mountain.

"Or maybe he offended people. Tsk, the people of Shuangtou Mountain sent a message, asking the Ji family to ransom people with one hundred taels of silver. ”

"A hundred taels? My God, can the Ji family have so much money? ”

“…… The ransom is not the main thing, the key is who carries the money to ransom the person. ”

Ji Dalang is suspected of offending people.

If Shuangtou Mountain doesn't follow the rules, and the ransom is collected, the ticket will be torn up, not to mention that Ji Dalang is dangerous, even the person who goes to deliver the ransom will be finished.

The Ji family is not only one Ji Dalang, there are many sons, and they each marry wives and have children, so they all have selfish intentions.

The old neighbors who were familiar with the Ji family felt that the ransom of one hundred taels of silver, the Ji family could still make it up.

The key is whether the Ji family is willing to make up.

If you have enough, who will go to Double-headed Mountain to redeem people!

The old neighbors didn't guess wrong, the Ji family could indeed make up enough for a hundred taels.

And Old Man Ji also strongly said that he wanted to ransom people with money.

First, Ji Dalang is the eldest son, and Old Man Ji values it the most.

Second, Ji Dalang's son is quite talented in reading, and the gentlemen in the academy praise him for being good.

Old man Ji himself is a gangster, as if he is shameless.

In fact, he also wants his children and grandchildren to be born in his bones, and the family can produce a person who can be a big official.

The Ji family's big house, that is the treasure of Old Man Ji's heart.

Therefore, the people in the other houses were distressed about the silver and were unwilling to pay, but Old Man Ji stared at the triangular eyes, and all his sons and daughters-in-law were shocked.

This old splash has been muddy for decades.

really annoyed him, this person can do anything that lacks morality.

The other sons and daughters-in-law were instigated and expressed their willingness to raise money.

Enough money!

But, who will deliver it?

Old man Ji will definitely not go, he does value his eldest son, but he is even more sparing his life.

Ji Dalang's sons can't go either, and the children are still young.

Ji Erlang, Ji Shilang, and Ji Wulang also found different excuses to kill Shuangtou Mountain.

In the end, Ji Saburo, who was still honest and foolish, carried a hundred taels of silver on his back, trembled his legs, and went to Shuangtou Mountain to redeem people.

Three days later, Ji Dalang and Ji Saburo returned.

Although Ji Dalang has a blue nose and swollen face, he can have all his beards and tails.

And Ji Saburo had his legs broken.

Ahem, ask carefully, it's Ji Dalang's pot again!

The people in the Shuangtou Mountain cottage didn't do it.

The brothers went down the mountain smoothly, and when they were resting in the tea shed on the side of the official road, Ji Dalang, who was frightened and starved and beaten in the cottage, saved up a belly of anger.

Because of a trivial matter, I quarreled with a group of people passing by.

The pedestrian looked like a foreigner, but he didn't back down at all to the "local" Ji Dalang.

Ji Dalang was surrounded by several strong men and beaten violently.

Ji Saburo is honest and timid, but he is "stupid".

The brother treats him like a cow and a horse, and he treats his brother as flesh and blood.

Seeing Ji Dalang being beaten by the group, Ji Sanlang rushed forward although he was afraid.

Click!

Click!

A strong man held a stool and hit Ji Saburo twice in succession, breaking Ji Saburo's legs together.

Ji Saburo passed out directly.

Seeing that the matter was getting bigger, the group of people also panicked and ran away in a hurry.

Ji Dalang still has such a lost conscience, and he didn't leave Ji Sanlang behind.

dragged and dragged with difficulty, Ji Dalang and Ji Sanlang returned home.

Ji Sanniang cried directly and fainted.

Ji Xiaosi, who was still working in the bookstore, was called back.

He looked at the Ji family's noisy, crying and howling with a numb face.

And after some noise, the Ji family actually made the decision to "separate"-

Ji Saburo's family was separated.

There is no house, no money, a family of five, and they are out of the house.

Ji Saburo already had a high fever because of the wound, and the whole person was confused.

But in a trance, he still heard his father's and mother's desperate words, as well as the helpless cries of his wife and children.

He was confused.

"What the hell am I doing wrong?"

"I am filial to my parents, I love my brothers, and for the sake of family harmony, I know that my children will suffer with me, and I must let them endure it."

"And this time, it was obviously the eldest brother who offended people in the front, and he took the initiative to provoke in the back, which caused trouble, but, why was the person who was injured and broke his leg and was kicked out of the door, but I was the one who was kicked out?"

In a trance, Ji Saburo seemed to be in a fantasy world.

He saw the fate of his family-

He broke his leg and was kicked out of his home.

The wife worked hard to make money and was exhausted to death.

The eldest son took over the burden of supporting the family and was trapped in that low, dark workshop all day long.

Xu was too tired, and Xu ate too much ink and black smoke, so he went at a young age.

The youngest son and youngest daughter were picked up by their father and mother, secretly sold, their whereabouts are unknown, and their lives and deaths are unknown!

"Ahh

Ji Saburo was frightened, angry, and physically painful, he suddenly shouted, and the whole person woke up.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying in a clean room.

In front of the bed, Ji Sanniang wiped her tears and said babblingly:

"Gu Niangzi has a kind heart, and when she saw our family living on the streets, she directly gave five taels of silver."

"Wan Niangzi is also very good, her house has a small courtyard on the front street of the academy, just when the tenant's lease expires, it is temporarily empty, so let us move over first!"

"And that Mama Zhou, who doesn't look easy to get along with, but she is very good, and lent us some food."

"Xiaosi invited a doctor, and the doctor gave you bones, saying that as long as you take care of it, you can raise it well!"

"Daddy, you can recuperate in peace. Gu Niangzi said that she would not only give me the work of washing clothes, but also let me help make a fire and boil water......"

Leaving the old house of the Ji family, Ji Sanniang, who had always lowered her head and was numb with a numb face, seemed to come to life.

There was no hopeless sadness on her face, but a kind of freshness.

Ji Saburo clearly saw his wife's expression, and also deeply felt her changes.

Syllable!

Ji Saburo raised his hand and gave himself a slap!

What am I doing!

I—I'm a bastard.

I want to be a filial son and a good brother, but I hurt myself and wronged my family.

Later! I won't do this again!

The nurturing grace of his parents was repaid when he went to Double-Headed Mountain to redeem people on behalf of his family.

And his two legs can be regarded as full of brotherly affection.

In the future, he owes no parents, let alone his brothers.

He wants to live for himself, for his wife and for his children!

Ji Saburo's cloudy eyes began to become clear.

He will work hard to make a good life for his wife and children.

Oh, by the way, and Koshiro, I'm going to send him to school myself!

However, Ji Saburo soon discovered that the eldest son seemed to have a better future.

"What? Mr. Zheng accepted you as a disciple? ”

Ji Saburo and his wife were surprised and delighted.

"Hmmm! In the future, I will not go to work in the bookstore, but will study with my husband. ”

"Also, Mr. gave me a name, and I will be called Ji Keji in the future."

Self-denial and retribution, this is the gentleman's requirement for himself, and it is also an expectation.

Ji Xiaosi has already started to read the Analects, so he is very clear about the allusion of this idiom, as well as its meaning.

"Ji Keji?"

Ji Saburo and his wife are illiterate, and they don't understand what the name means.

However, Mr. Cheng is a man, a gentleman from the college.

A real person with a big culture, the name he chooses, of course, is excellent.

"Good! Good! In the future, our son will be called Ji Keji! ”

Ji Saburo is less than thirty years old, but he is very old.

There were already furrows on his swarthy face, and at this moment, every wrinkle in him was full of joy and longing for the future.

His son, who has also studied, may be able to become a big official in the future!

He Ji Saburo is useless, he is a wreck who is not favored by his parents.

But he still has a son, and his son has a future.

Ji Sanniang is a woman, and her focus is different from her husband's.

She suddenly thought that Mr. Zheng's family also had a daughter, who was only seven years old this year.

Scourge Waters: ...... This plot has collapsed miserably!

PS: Is the pace of this story a little slower? It's forty chapters, and I feel like there are still a lot of plots that haven't been written, what do you think?
