Chapter 451: The World Is Cold
The weak young man was a little impatient: "What does it matter to you how I discipline my brother?" ”
Cheng Xiaolian sneered: "Today, Brother Ling is fighting with others, and if he is caught, he will break his leg, you are so spoiled as a brother, I am afraid that it will not be long before Brother Ling will be able to collect his body." ”
The young man's face suddenly became cold: "Xiaohu, you are fighting with people again, aren't you?" ”
Xiaohu's body suddenly became trembling: "Since we have drunk, we are friends, and if our friends are in trouble, how can we not help." ”
Cheng Xiaolian smiled: "You might as well tell your brother who your friends are." ”
The young man suddenly understood: "You are mixed with Qi Fu and those people again, aren't you?" ”
"That day, my brother was sick, I begged all the neighborhoods, but no one borrowed a penny from us to buy you a decoction, only Qi Fu saw that I was pitiful and gave me two taels of silver, which saved my brother's life, if I don't repay the kindness, it will be unjust."
"Okay, that's what the book says, isn't it? We owe that money, and how many times it will be repaid to him in the future, and who will tell you to do evil against them, and where have you read the books of your sages? ”
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Seeing that your two brothers are also not popular in this city, why don't you come with us." ”
The young man suddenly showed a wary gaze: "Who are you?" ”
Yang Youcai smiled: "Of course you are the one who can take your brother to learn well, you have always heard the story of Meng's mother's three moves, always stay in this Huanxian County, sooner or later, your brother will have to do a big case with Qi Fu and they will be cut off by the government, it is better to go with us, maybe there is a chance to redeem." ”
The young man coughed twice, and Xiaohu hurriedly went up to help him: "Brother." ”
Cheng Xiaolian opened his mouth and said: "I won't tell you, we are people from the Ming Dynasty, and now the Ming Dynasty is recovering the country, and if you do a good job, your younger brother may also make contributions, if you don't do it well, it's just that your head has been cut off. ”
If Xiaohu's brother is a rotten person, then he doesn't bother to teach anything, just throw down some silver and take people away, now his brother is obviously a scholar, and he will not lead Xiaohu astray, and with such a brother by his side, Xiaohu can also settle down.
The young man coughed, "I agree." ”
If he had the ability, he would have left Huanxian with his younger brother a long time ago, because of his body, he had already used up the affection of his neighbors, and in recent days, his younger brother and Qi Fu and those people have come together, but he is afraid that something will happen sooner or later if this continues, so he has long had the idea of leaving.
"It's just that I still have one condition."
Cheng Xiaolian was stunned for a moment: "Let's talk about it." ”
"Over the years, I have troubled my neighbors a lot because of my body, please lend me a hundred taels of silver, I want to give it to them as a reward for all these years."
"How many families do you have in your neighborhood?"
Xiaohu nodded and counted: "There are thirteen in total." ”
Cheng Xiaolian said with a smile: "Yang Youcai, take the silver, and the family will give fifty taels." ”
The young man was stunned, and then hurriedly said, "I don't need so much. ”
"It's better to pay off this thing at once, otherwise if you become a big official in the future, you won't be able to pay it off."
Yang Youcai stretched out his hand and took out a stack of silver tickets from his waist: "Well, it's all fifty taels, you can take it and divide it for them." ”
The young man's eyes were red, and he laughed: "The lives of our two brothers are not worth so much silver. ”
"It's just to buy you peace of mind, and let you know that we are going to take away your brothers, not to take pictures of flowers."
The young man no longer refused, stretched out his hand to take the silver, walked to the house next to the west, knocked lightly, and soon came a shout from the door: "Here it is." ”
A sixty-year-old man opened the door, and when he saw the two brothers, his face immediately sank: "I said a long time ago, you don't shoot our door in the future, our family also has to eat and live, if all of you brothers are relieved, our family will drink the northwest wind?" ”
The young man stretched out his hand and took out a silver ticket: "I've troubled you all these years, these fifty taels of silver should be regarded as a little compensation for our two brothers, our two brothers are going to leave tonight, I'm afraid we won't see each other in the future, I wish Uncle Lu peace." As he spoke, he handed over the silver ticket.
The old man known as Uncle Lu was also stunned, and read it several times, the silver ticket was indeed real, and he was immediately a little at a loss: "Brother Chen, I haven't helped you much in the past few years, and I won't need fifty taels." You two brothers should take some back. Having said that, the silver ticket in his hand was clenched tightly.
The young man smiled: "Although Uncle Lu didn't give much relief, he saved the lives of our two brothers countless times, otherwise our two brothers would have starved to death, you should still accept this silver ticket." ”
"And where are you going?"
"It's a long way to go, Uncle Lu take care of your body."
"If the outside is not satisfactory, you two will come back, and if you dare not say anything else, you two brothers must not starve to death."
The young man also seemed to have forgotten Uncle Lu's face when he opened the door just now, and replied with a smile: "Uncle Lu, don't worry, it's not early, let's rest early." ”
Cheng Xiaolian looked at this scene behind him and sighed deeply: "People are warm and cold, the world is hot and cold, if there is no such fifty taels of silver, that Uncle Lu is afraid that he will not be able to say this." ”
Wen Duruo also shook his head: "I can't blame him entirely, everyone wants to live, who can be a little selfish." ”
At this time, the young man had already knocked on the second door, and it was an old lady who opened the door, still holding a bowl in her hand: "I knew that no one was looking for me at such a late hour, child, don't blame me, my girl will get married at the end of the year, and the family has to save some money, otherwise it will always make the husband's family look down on it, this bowl of hot porridge is shared between the two of you, and the old woman only has this ability." ”
The young man lowered his head and wiped a handful of tears, and stretched out his hand to hand over two silver tickets: "Our two brothers are going to leave here today, over the years, if it weren't for the eldest mother taking care of our brothers everywhere, I'm afraid that we would have died at home a long time ago, these silver tickets are not much, they should be regarded as the dowry I gave to my little sister, so that he would be beautiful when he got married." It can be seen that his words are much more sincere than when he said it just now, and it is obvious that this is the real benefactor of the two brothers.
The old man didn't take the silver ticket at all: "Where did you two get the money from?" Didn't you commit a crime? Hurry up and give the money back to others, although I don't have much ability, but I can still find some wild vegetables, which may not be enough to feed you two brothers, but I finally have a stutter, if you commit a crime and go to prison, I am afraid that you will not be able to endure two or three days depending on your body. ”
