Chapter 35 The Savior
Gu Dechang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Brother Huang, don't be busy. While the official is still in the yamen, go and do the main business first. After the matter is done, come back and disturb Brother Huang."
After hearing this, Manager Huang said, "Okay, serious business is important. Mr. Gu will do the important business first."
Gu Dechang bowed to Manager Huang and said, "Let me leave Xiaoyu here, Brother Huang help me take care of you."
Before Manager Huang could speak, Gu Huayu took the lead and said, "Dad, Xiaoyu will go out with you. Dad will do his business, Xiaoyu is just around the corner."
Gu Dechang asked worriedly: "Are you going shopping alone?"
Gu Huayu smiled and said, "It's true, Xiaoyu doesn't go far, just walk around nearby. When you are tired, go back to Uncle Huang first."
Gu Dechang thought that his daughter had finally come to the county town and sat idle in the house was really boring, so he nodded and replied, "Okay, but don't go far. The county town is much larger than the town. Be careful not to find the way back."
Gu Huayu bowed and said playfully: "Dad, don't worry, something like getting lost will not happen."
Gu Dechang stood up and said, "Okay, let's take action separately." After that, Gu Dechang bowed to Manager Huang: "Brother Huang, come back and disturb you."
Manager Huang stood up and bowed and replied, "Mr. Gu, please be polite, I'll let Chuntang follow Miss Xiaoyu."
Gu Huayu bowed and said, "Thank you, Uncle Huang, no need, Xiaoyu is just walking around."
Seeing Gu Huayu's refusal, Manager Huang did not force himself to send Gu Dechang and his daughter out.
Gu Huayu left Huang Ji Shop, walked a short walk, looked back and asked, "Is this shopkeeper Huang an old acquaintance?"
Gu Dechang followed and looked back at Huang Jishu and nodded, "Well, my friend for many years. Brother Huang is a good man, chivalrous and affectionate."
Gu Huayu thought about it and found that although my father was talented, he had no career. He was just a commoner and lived in a remote mountain village and was so poor that he was very poor.
The ability of Manager Huang to treat his father with courtesy shows that this person is not snobbish.
"Oh, it looks like Uncle Huang doesn't look like a Shicheng person." Gu Huayu replied.
Gu Dechang nodded and said, "Well, Brother Huang is from Jiangnan. His family has been doing business for generations. Ten years ago, the fire turned the family business into ashes. He was forced to leave his hometown and come to Shicheng."
Gu Huayu nodded slightly and listened quietly to Gu Dechang's story.
Gu Dechang opened his conversation: "In a blink of an eye, I have known Brother Huang for ten years. Back then, your mother and I took you and Brother Liang back to Shicheng from the capital, thanks to meeting Brother Huang. Otherwise, our lives would have been gone ten years ago. Speaking of which, Brother Huang is our family's life-saving benefactor."
"Oh? What happened back then? Why didn't you hear my father and mother say it?" Gu Huayu's heart tightened and asked.
Gu Dechang looked up at the sky, thought for a while, and said, "Oh! We met a robber on the way back to our hometown when we passed Jinghu South Road.
At that time, my mother and I thought we were dead... Fortunately, Brother Huang helped us and we were able to survive. Your mother's leg was injured at that time."
Gu Huayu turned to look at Gu Dechang and asked, "Where is my father's leg disease? When did he get injured?"
Gu Dechang looked down at his legs, smiled bitterly, and said, "My legs were injured in the capital. When I arrived at the yamen, Xiaoyu, just stroll around nearby, don't go far."
