The monkey chuckled lightly and looked at Wan Lei,
"Do you still want to listen? There are many more stories here."
At this time, Wan Lei was already shaking like chaff. He thought that after experiencing the end of the Golden Immortal Secret Realm, experiencing the drastic changes in the hearts of the Huo family, and experiencing the beasts of the Weeping Desire Sect, he had become accustomed to seeing the ugliness in the world.
, but I didn’t expect...
In this small town of only 10,000 people, the people living at the lowest level are actually experiencing these horrific sorrows all the time.
"Can't you tell right from wrong now? It doesn't matter, I can continue to tell you."
The monkey scratched the hair on his head and pointed to the door of the house.
Wan Lei remembered that there was a couple at the door of that house, listening to the girl's mother's nagging.
In that family, the mother is kind and virtuous, the man is humble and polite, and the woman is gentle and delicate.
But now there was only a man's figure lingering at the door.
The rotting body paced back and forth.
"Xiaolong is a scholar. He has loved studying since he was a child. He has good character and a gentle temperament. He has a good reputation in the town. Everyone who sees him calls him Long Xiucai.
Long Xiucai often helps other villagers after studying. He also spends an hour or two on weekdays to teach children in the classroom to read.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
With the meager money he earned from teaching, he could save some money for daily food and clothing, and his life was quite comfortable.
Xiaomei and his childhood sweetheart, childhood sweetheart, have been playing together since they were sensible. When they grew up, the two of them also fell in love with each other. They were famous in the town for their talent and beauty, and were praised by everyone.
People think this is a match made in heaven...
Except for Xiaomei’s mother.
The mayor's son had long been interested in the little beauty's beauty and wanted to marry her as a concubine.
The son of the mayor's family was a decent person. At least he didn't do anything to rob people's daughters. He just hired him according to the regulations.
The mayor's family gave him one hundred taels of silver as a betrothal gift. The snobbish thief had never seen so much money in her life, so she accepted the offer.
After Xiaomei learned about this, she cried and made a fuss. Xiaolong also went to her house to plead for mercy, hoping that the other party would marry Xiaomei to him.
The thief who was greedy for money was determined to sell her daughter, so she said to Xiaolong, if you can come up with a betrothal gift of three hundred taels of silver, I will marry Xiaomei to you.
Haha, Xiaolong is just a poor scholar. Even if he has saved a few taels of silver over the years, it is far from three hundred taels.
Such a betrothal gift directly overwhelmed him.
But he was not discouraged. He and Xiaomei made an agreement to elope together and go to other islands to make a living.
They agreed to meet in the woods at the north end of the town, where they often played together when they were children.
But when the appointed time came, Xiaolong waited and waited, but Xiaomei didn't come either.
He was worried, so he went to Xiaomei's house to inquire about it. When he got there, he heard the shocking cry of Xiaomei's mother.
It turned out that Xiaomei was discovered by her mother when she quietly left home. When her mother saw that Xiaomei was about to run away, her mother immediately became violent, picked up a rolling pin, broke her own daughter's left calf, and locked her in the house.
Her mother told her that if she dared to escape again, she would ask the mayor to take action and kill Xiaolong.
After all, the mayor is a strong foundation builder and has absolute authority in the town. Anyone who dares to question his majesty will die miserably. He is the local emperor here and does all kinds of evil."
Hearing this, Wan Lei glanced at the mayor standing next to him in surprise.
Oh, of course, this is also a rotting corpse.
The mayor left a good impression on him, he was polite and polite...
Forget it, when I first came here, everyone in this town was nice, but the real situation was that there was so much filth.
"Xiaomei was afraid of the mayor's power and did not dare to run away, but she was also unwilling to let down her lover and marry a beast with a human face and an animal heart.
She didn't dare to run away again for fear of harming Xiaolong.
In a dilemma, she dragged her broken leg, stood on a stool, tore the sheets, tied them into a rope, and hanged herself.
You know what Xiaolong heard at that time, he heard the thief woman crying...
You cruel loser, I have worked so hard to raise you so big, and I expect you to repay me. You are thinking about this poor boy in your heart.
How can you die so cruelly? If you want to die, you should wait until after you get married. Now, I have to buy you a coffin for the funeral. You damn loser.
How can you be...so selfish!"
When he said this, the usually calm Monkey's tone became a little angry.
Wan Lei was silent, he had never experienced this. When he and Fang Xiaoyu were together, Fang Xiaoyu was the little princess of the Fang family, the top power in the thunder wind world, and he was just a poor boy from a small family, but Lao Fang was a sensible person.
People, agreed that they would be together from the beginning.
Therefore, in his view, people who love each other should stay together no matter how big the status gap is. Only when you are with the person you love can you be happy.
He believes that all parents want to see their children happy.
although……
There are many parents who, in the name of doing good for their daughter, find a good family for her, but in their hearts, they want to use this to ask for high betrothal gifts to fill their own pockets.
It doesn't matter whether the daughter is happy or not, as long as she can be sold for a good price.
If a daughter does not listen to them and wants to pursue her own happiness, she is selfish, ungrateful, does not understand them, is ignorant, is still young, and is sorry for their upbringing over so many years!
They will not think that their child is a person with his own ideas and is willing to pursue happiness, rather than a commodity that can be clearly marked with a price.
The monkey sighed,
"Xiaolong is a good boy. His biggest dream is to become a teacher who teaches and educates people, and to get married to his beloved Xiaomei.
What you see is the deepest fantasy in his heart, that his mother-in-law is reasonable, that he and Xiaomei are happy, and that's it.
It's not a big deal, he just lost everything."
Before Wan Lei could sigh, the monkey pointed at the scrawny rotting corpse in the middle of the street.
"That guy, Xiao Wan, is an author. He likes to write books and study. He has written several books and has made some progress.
But no matter how good the book he wrote, people can't read it because there are too many people who are better than him.
No one reads his books, no one subscribes to him, no one rewards him, and no one gives him recommendation votes or monthly votes.
But he didn't care, no, he just pretended not to care, sitting in the room all day long, coding hard, imagining that one day he could become a great god.
However, the meager royalties he earned every month were not even enough for him to eat.
He didn't want to eat, he didn't want to wear clothes, he didn't even leave the house, just to be able to write the best works and present them in front of readers.
He was so hungry that he was as skinny as a stick, but he was so drunk that he was immersed in the world of coding.
