"Heavenly reason? Money is the truth! If you have that much money, you are a god! ”

Neng'er bit her lip and didn't say anything. He was wondering why this was happening.

Ding Li looked at the direction where the little orchid sedan chair disappeared, gritted his teeth, and said to himself: "Old thing, you wait and see, I must let you die without a place to be buried!" I want you to ......."

The next day, Ding Li went to Guangzhou City and became an apprentice in an antique calligraphy and painting shop. He is smart and clever, and can read and break words, coupled with special care, he was quickly appreciated by the boss.

Soon, Lei Fei went to the dock by the Pearl River, and with his immature body, like an adult man, he carried heavy goods and the bitter and sweet of life. And I felt that although the people here were good to my mother and son, they were not a place to stay for a long time after all, so I packed my bags, said goodbye to Uncle Lei and them, and left Baiyun Mountain Village. Our mother and son stayed overnight day and night, and after a while, we entered Hangzhou and found a bundle of things on the side of the road.

At that time, I thought: the person who lost the thing, if he finds that the thing is lost, will definitely look back, why not rest in place and wait for the owner.

Sure enough, around the time of a bag of cigarettes, a middle-aged man hurriedly drove a carriage over.

I stepped forward and asked, "This boss, did you lose this thing?" ”

"Yes, yes, I just lost it." The middle-aged man said one after another, "It was a silk sample I took from the boss of Wang Qing of the Mingsheng Silk Store in Hangzhou, and this silk is worth 10 pieces of silver." ”

It turned out that this middle-aged man's surname was Li, his name was Weiguang, he ran a silk processing business, and he had just returned from a silk sample from Mingsheng Silk Shop.

Li Weiguang opened the bundle in front of me with a sense of relief, and when he saw that the silk sample was still there, he took out 10 pieces of silver from his leather bag and handed it to me, and said movingly: "Sister-in-law, thanks to you, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do this business." ”

I hurriedly pushed the silver back to him, waved my hand and said, "Don't be polite, guest officer, my mother and son can't ask for this money." ”

Li Weiguang saw that I repeatedly shirked it, seeing that our mother and son did not look like locals, and that I seemed to have something on my mind and encountered some difficulties, so he stepped forward and asked carefully.

I asked and saw that the merchant in front of me was kind-hearted, so I told me about this time to take refuge in Wenfei.

After hearing this, Li Weiguang said with deep sympathy: "Sister-in-law, your mother and son are really unfortunate. "Alas!" Li Weiguang looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "When Lord Wen Fei was in power, Li was taken care of by Lord Wen, and our business in Suzhou and Hangzhou is so prosperous today, all thanks to Lord Wen building a wharf in the area under his jurisdiction and dredging the waterway, making us an important landing port here, and merchants come and go frequently...... "When Li Weiguang mentioned Wen Fei, it was like a flood without an embankment, gushing endlessly, full of praise.

At the end, Li Weiguang looked at me sympathetically and asked with concern: "Sister-in-law, what are your plans in the future?" ”

"Alas...... Now that the matter has come to this, what else can I do? Only one step at a time is counted as one step. I shook my head and said helplessly.

Li Weiguang said sincerely: "Sister-in-law, your surname is Li, and I am also surnamed Li, as the saying goes: 'You can't write two Li characters in one stroke', the surname Li is a family in the world, please come to my house, let me take care of your mother and son on behalf of Lord Wen, so that Xiaohui can read and write." ”

I waved my hand and excused myself, "How embarrassed to cause trouble to your family!" ”

"Sister-in-law, how can you say it's causing trouble! My family has a big business, and I am short of helpers, and your mother and son can come, and I am too late to be happy! Li Weiguang sincerely invited.

When I saw him enthusiastic, I nodded my head in agreement.

In this way, Neng'er and I stayed at Li Weiguang's house.

Laundry, cooking, and tidying up the house for their family of more than a dozen people every day, although it is very hard, but Li Shi saw that Neng'er was no longer suffering from mosquito bites here, and the food for three meals a day was much stronger than in Xialu Village.

I saw that Li Weiguang treated our mother and son like relatives, Mrs. Li is also a kind-hearted person, and if she doesn't help with some work, she doesn't want to go.

As I grew older, my body gradually weakened, but in order to have a good living environment, I still struggled to support it.

Neng'er also grew up and became sensible, and the Li family was very good to our mother and son, so that Neng'er and I lived in the Li family for six years before returning to Xialu Village......

When Liang Jinlian heard that the Li family had finally returned home, she was happy for Huineng's mother and son, and said sincerely: "It's okay now, Aunt and Brother Aneng don't have to wander outside." ”

Li sighed: "As the saying goes, 'beauty is not beautiful, hometown water, kiss or not, hometown people'!" With the help of our fellow villagers, our mother and son quickly settled down at home. I still weave at home, and Neng'er goes up to the mountains every day to collect firewood, and sometimes, Neng'er's childhood friends Stone Dog and Shrimp will join him in collecting firewood......"

Liang Jinlian said: "After Brother Aneng came back, has he always made a living by collecting firewood?" ”

"Yes! Because he went to Guangzhou to join Lord Wenfei and sold his family's land, Neng'er only had to rely on firewood to support his family, which was really difficult for Neng'er. When Li said this, the old things came to his heart again, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

"Aunt......" Liang Jinlian looked at the Li family, and stopped talking.

Li Shi blinked his eyes stained with tears, "Ah Lian, just say whatever you want." ”

Liang Jinlian saw that the Li family seemed to see through her heart, so she boldly said: "Aunt, as the saying goes, 'the man should get married', Brother Aneng came back, didn't he ......?"

When Liang Jinlian said this, she didn't have the courage to say it anymore, for fear of knowing the cruel truth that was difficult for her to accept for a while.

At this time, Liang Jinlian really regretted a little, how could she talk about this most sensitive topic, she blamed in her heart: Liang Jinlian, Liang Jinlian, you shouldn't have asked about this! If my aunt didn't have anything unspeakable about this matter, maybe she would have told you a long time ago, wouldn't it be embarrassing for everyone?

Just when Liang Jinlian fell into deep self-blame and couldn't extricate herself, she only heard Li tell with emotion about what has happened in recent years-

Li Xiaolan, the child in the neighboring village, was injured by a poisonous snake that time, and after Neng'er saved her, Xiaolan's father and her mother liked Neng'er very much, and intended to marry Xiaolan Xu to Neng'er. It can be seen that Neng'er also likes Xiaolan very much.

One evening, I told Neng'er what Xiaolan, her father and I meant, and I thought Neng'er would happily agree.

But what I didn't expect was that after listening to it, Neng'er said that if he married Xiaolan, he would lose money for his righteous deeds.

Neng'er also said that if just because he saved Xiaolan, she and her father and mother gave Xiaodang to him out of gratitude, then didn't he save her because he had another request?

I said, "How can you think that?" These are two different things, Xiaolan and her parents really like you, and I really like Xiaolan, and I want to fulfill you. I ask you, do you like Xiaolan?

Neng'er said, I like it, I really like Xiaolan like my mother.

I said, "Isn't that enough?" As the saying goes, "men should get married, women should get married", this is your lifelong event, and that's it.

Neng'er said, listen to my mother, the man should get married, and when I grow up, I will get married.

In this way, until Neng'er was twenty-four years old, when Xiaolan and her father and mother were preparing to arrange a marriage for him and Xiaolan, Neng'er listened to the scriptures and realized the Tao in Jintai Temple, and left home to go to Hubei Dongchan Temple to worship Master Hongren to learn Buddhism. After going home for a few years, I was chased and killed by my fellow brothers, and Neng'er carried me here overnight......

Liang Jinlian listened to Li's crying, and felt so uncomfortable that she felt as if she had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and looked at the stone wall in a daze......
