Chapter 2 Break the Gambler's Son's Leg (2)
Just when Shopkeeper Fang snorted coldly, intending to interrupt the farce in front of him, he was surprised to see Rong Li hit Rong Rongzu's right leg hard with his cane.
There was a crisp "click" sound, and everyone who was too shocked to react collectively took a step back. They thought Rong Li was just pretending, but they didn't expect that he actually interrupted!
Rong Li himself is a lame. If the Honorable Ancestor becomes a lame again, how will he live in the future?
The people in the gambling shop couldn't help but swallowed their saliva. The old man was so cruel that his only son's legs could be broken.
The ancestor of Honor, who was holding his neck and staring at Rong Li, not thinking that Rong Li really dared to break his legs, went blank. The severe pain slowly came after hesitating for a moment because of his shock. The pain was so painful
He curled up unconsciously and hugged his legs, his whole body twitching violently.
Twitching and twitching, Glory Ancestor's mouth that had been unable to close suddenly opened wide, gasping for air, but he couldn't make any sound. The veins on his forehead popped out, the whites of his eyes rolled up, and he was about to faint.
.
Mrs. Liu finally reacted and threw herself on the Honorable Ancestor with a cry, "Son!"
However, Honorable Ancestor suddenly straightened up and passed out as stiffly as a dead fish. His pale face and large beads of sweat made people panic just by looking at him.
Mrs. Liu's face turned pale, but she did not dare to accuse Rong Li. She just cried desperately, crying for her poor son and her own miserable life.
The shrill cries made the women around them feel bad. They had committed such a sin. They had raised such a sinful obstacle. They were destined to cut the flesh off their mother's body.
Rong Li also felt a little sad. Mrs. Liu was a good woman, but it was a pity that she ended up with such a rebellious son.
Shaking his head, Rong Li looked around and found that everyone was shocked by his ruthless actions. He tapped the ground with his crutch and said loudly: "I, Rong Li, joined the army at the age of fourteen and cut off the heads of the enemy at the age of fourteen.
, went through many hardships, nearly survived, and was fortunate enough to receive mercy from heaven. He returned home safely, married a wife, had children, served his parents, and took care of himself until the end of his life."
"I think I am worthy of heaven and earth, but I am worthy of my old wife. Due to the pressure of life, I did not care about being considerate, and actually put the responsibility of raising my young son on my wife alone." Rong Li glanced at Mrs. Liu.
, eyes full of guilt.
Then he added: "I thought that it was not easy to have a son, so I indulged and doted on my only son many times, which led to today's disaster. It was the fault of the son for not teaching his father, and what happened to Yaozu today is because I failed to fulfill my responsibility as a father."
Hearing what Rong Li said, Ms. Liu's eyes widened. He didn't blame her for not educating her son well?
"Since there has been negligence, we should take responsibility. It is not a man's fault to evade. We can only hope that it is not too late to make up for it!" Rong Li glanced at the cheap son and was sure that he would not die for a while, so he continued to speak his heart on his behalf.
.
"It's the father's responsibility that his son didn't teach well. If his son learned bad things and entered a gambling house and incurred debts due to gambling, it should also be the father's responsibility and he should bear it for him. You all can see the current situation of the Kerong family.
There are only tile-roofed houses and fields left. If we want to repay our debts, we have to sell our houses and land."
"However, the ancestral teachings of the Rong family are that future generations should not sell their ancestral land for gambling. If they violate it, they will be kicked out of the family immediately and will not be allowed to return home after death. If I sell the land to save my son, it will be excusable.
It’s better to send the whole family on the road together with a bowl of arsenic than to have the shame to face our ancestors!”
Rong Li said so decisively that the people in the gambling shop looked at each other and said nothing. The shopkeeper frowned slightly, did he want to force him to death?
"But..." Hearing Rong Li change the subject, he took out a jade pendant of good quality from his arms. This was the original body that he took out from the cabinet when he put it on. It was a life-saving charm of the original body.
It should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Unfortunately, after ruining this jade pendant, it still did not end well.
Thinking about his original plea when he came, Rong Li sighed softly: "People say that you should leave a thin line in life so that we can meet each other easily in the future. I won't make it difficult for you. This is the jade pendant that General Tu gave me when I made my first meritorious service."
, I will mortgage it with you first, and after three days, you wait at the gambling house, and I will return the debt owed by this unfilial son to you with interest."
"General Tu?" Looking at the jade pendant handed to him, Shopkeeper Fang's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that the old man of the Rong family had actually worked with such a big shot.
But no one in Ningguo dared to act recklessly under the banner of General Tu. This jade pendant is completely translucent and its texture is better than the jasper worn by the county magistrate. It seems to be true.
General Tu's soldiers were trustworthy. Shopkeeper Fang couldn't help but relax a little and took a closer look at Rong Li.
Only then did he realize that this man, who he had not paid attention to at first, had a firm look on his face and an upright posture. Even though he was leaning on a cane and his clothes were leaky, he could not hide his spirit. He was worthy of being a veteran who had been on the battlefield, and even more so.
As expected of someone who has followed General Tu.
Shopkeeper Fang calmed down a bit and took the jade pendant carefully, even with a bit of piety on his face.
Forget it, let's let Ancestor Glory go for now. If he really forces someone to die, not only will he not get the money, but he will also have to bear the notoriety of killing General Tu's soldiers. It's not worth it. Why don't you just wait for three days?
If the queen can't pay her debts, even if they smash the veteran's house to pieces, no one can say anything.
Thinking about it, Shopkeeper Fang put on a smile and said politely: "The old man is right, keep a line in life so that we can meet each other easily in the future. Today, I will take my brothers away. In three days, I will be gambling
The main gate of the square welcomes the old man."
After saying this, Shopkeeper Fang left with the jade pendant and a group of thugs. He had to go back quickly and let the boss handle this jade pendant. This was the jade pendant rewarded by General Tu!
Seeing that the Rong family escaped the disaster, the onlookers could not help but heave a sigh of relief, but then felt regretful that such a valuable jade pendant was mortgaged like this. Rong Li really didn't feel bad at all. Looking at Mrs. Liu who was crying so hard that her eyes were swollen.
, Ancestor Glory, who was lying unconscious on the ground, sighed again, how pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are!
After watching Shopkeeper Fang and his entourage leave, Rong Li cupped his hands and said in a loud voice: "Because of this evil deed, I have shocked all of you dear friends today. Rong Li is here to apologize to you, and please disperse first."
, save some face for the Rong family, Rong Li is very grateful!"
The excitement is almost enough here, but it won't be possible further down.
The people in Daman Village are generally honest and kind-hearted, and the Rong family has always been honest and honest, with very few people who have bad relations with them. Even those who were jealous of the Rong family having a scholar in the past felt no longer satisfied after watching today's farce.
He didn't have any evil thoughts. After hearing what Rong Li said, it was natural for him to leave as soon as it was time to leave.
The village chief and Rong Li have the best relationship, but they don't dare to get involved in gambling debts. There are seniors and juniors, so how can they dare to do anything randomly? It was the people who brought their sons to the gambling house to cause trouble.
I stopped him once in a while to avoid killing anyone.
Afterwards, the village chief saw that Rong Li was controlling the whole place, as if he had an idea, so he fell silent. He stayed with several other families who had good relations with Rong Li to see if there was anything he could do to help.
If I don't have enough money, I can't help Rong Li with some relief, but I can still spare the manpower to call a doctor for Rong Zu.
"Arong, no matter how bad Yaozu is, he is still your only son. You can't just let him lie here. Let's get him into the house first!" The village chief glared at the pale ancestor who was lying on the ground with some disgust.
With one glance, he tentatively leaned into Rong Li's ear and said.
However, Rong Li didn't even look at Ancestor Glory, as if he didn't exist. He cupped his hands to the village chief and said, "Brother, I understand the good intentions, but this evildoer should have been taught a lesson long ago. If you don't let him come,
You are so cruel, I am afraid that in the future I will even break our bones and make soup for you."
The village chief was speechless for a moment, and he really didn't like Rong Zu, an unfilial son like him, so he just patted Rong Li on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you have to discipline your son well. I can't control my brother. He has a gambling debt."
If things really don't work, people are more important. If you need it, I will try my best to help you sell the land at a good price, and I will never let anyone cheat you."
The others looked at me and I looked at him. They all sighed and tried to persuade Rong Li. They didn’t think that Rong Li would be able to pay off his gambling debts in three days without selling his house or land. In the end, after all,
If you want to sell land, instead of hastily selling it at a low price when the time comes, you might as well sum up and sell it for a good price now.
