Chapter 44 The Truth about Second Brother's Injury
In the evening, the family had scrambled eggs with Chinese toon.
Chop the blanched toona buds into fine pieces, mix them with the beaten egg liquid and stir evenly. Once fried in the pot, it will smell delicious.
“This toon omelette is really good!”
"No, our Minmin is really right."
"Children think differently."
Because there was meat tonight, I didn't try many Chinese toon omelette, but I had never tasted it like this before, and it was enough to make everyone feel amazing.
Nowadays, there are a lot of eggs at home, more savings, and less places to spend money. Naturally, we are not willing to suffer so much when it comes to food, so we are willing to fry eggs even when we have meat.
If it were before, I would have been reluctant to part with it.
Minmin's food is also very delicious. Looking at her parents, brothers and sister-in-law, the little one feels even more satisfied.
She will continue to work hard for this family, not only to have enough to eat, but also to live in a big house...
At nightfall, Minmin was already sleeping. Just as others were getting ready to go to bed, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.
"The knocking is quite urgent. Who is it so late at night?"
"I'll open the door!"
Min Silang ran over quickly.
What came was a strange boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. He was wearing old clothes with an unclear color. His hair was tied up randomly and looked a bit messy. He was quite handsome, with a thin face, thin lips, and a pair of narrow eyes that were particularly flexible.
With a slight turn, it seems that you can take in everything around you.
"Who are you--"
Min Silang was stunned and asked curiously.
The young man smiled and whispered: "What, little brother, is this the home of brother Min Shoutai and Min?"
Min Erlang's nickname was Min Shoutai.
Min Silang suddenly became vigilant: "Are you looking for my second brother? Who are you?"
"It's really Brother Min's home!" The young man breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "My name is Hu Aji, and I am Brother Min's good brother. Please tell Brother Min that I am here. I have important things to tell him.
."
"You are Brother Aji. My second brother told you before. Please come in. I am Shiro."
"Shiro!"
Hu Aji did not refuse, and followed Min Silang in with a smile.
"Brother Min!" Hu Aji had a really good relationship with Min Erlang. When he entered the room and saw Min Erlang, he couldn't help but quicken his steps and step forward. His voice was choked with sobs when he called people.
"Aji!" Min Erlang stood up with a smile and patted him on the shoulder: "You kid! I originally planned to visit you in a few days, but I didn't expect you to come here. Dad, Mom, this is me and you
The Aji I mentioned, Aji, this is my father, this is my mother, this is..."
Min Erlang introduced his family members to Aji one by one, and Aji greeted them one by one with a bright smile. Min's family members also smiled and greeted each other kindly.
"Sit down," Min Erlang asked Aji to sit down again, "Why did you come here so late at night? Did something happen? Did someone bully you?"
Hu Aji is sixteen years old this year. His parents died when he was young. He lives with his grandmother in the alleys of Jincheng City. The old lady is kind-hearted. Aji has been smart and sensible since he was a child. He has a sweet mouth and is very popular with the neighbors. Everyone is willing to help him.
, although the grandfather and grandson live in poverty, they can still get by.
The old lady always said that a favor is repaid, and Aji was diligent. Because he received favors from his neighbors, he took the initiative and enthusiastically did all kinds of help, running errands and other tasks for the neighbors when he was very young.
Later, when everyone had such things, they simply asked him to do them, and paid him one or two cents in wages.
The grandfather and grandson depended on this for their living.
Three years ago, the old lady passed away, and Hu Aji was deeply saddened.
It was at that time that he met Min Erlang. Although the two were several years apart, they got along surprisingly well.
Min Erlang was already running with Guangmao Trading Company at that time, so he simply took Hu Aji there and begged the big shopkeeper. The big shopkeeper inquired about Hu Aji and saw that he was diligent and clever, so he allowed him to work with the firm.
But the salary is reduced by half.
Hu Aji had long wanted to go out and have a look, and he was so happy. He didn't need to support a family, so he didn't care if his salary was halved, so he agreed wholeheartedly.
As a result, his relationship with Min Erlang naturally became better.
Hearing Min Erlang ask this, Hu Aji was so moved that he almost shed tears again. He wiped his eyes and shook his head: "I, I'm fine! Second brother, your legs, your legs..."
Min Erlang laughed out loud: "My leg is fine, I will be fine in a few days."
"real?"
"of course it's true!"
"That's great!" Hu Aji was overjoyed. That's right. He originally thought that Brother Min would become sickly, thin and pale, but he didn't expect that he looked so good and energetic. He should be fine.
Hu Aji's eyes darkened and he said again: "Brother Min, does he know why those goods were smashed down?"
The Min family members were all shocked. Mrs. Jiang quickly glanced at her second son and said hurriedly: "Aji, do you know what's going on? Tell us."
For fear that Erlang would be sad, the Min family was really confused these days, wanting to ask but not daring to ask.
Now Hu Aji mentioned it bluntly, which made everyone sigh in relief.
Finally there is no need to hesitate anymore.
Min Erlang glanced at Hu Aji, shook his head, and said slowly: "I don't know, I was helping to help, but when I turned around, something fell from a height. I didn't have time to avoid it, and even nothing happened.
I didn't have time to think about it, so I fainted from the pain. Later, when I thought about it carefully, I always had the feeling that it shouldn't be an accident..."
The merchants are particular about stacking goods, and the clerks all have experience. Generally speaking, this kind of thing will not happen.
Min Xiangming said: "Lao Si and I went to the city to inquire. People from the trading company said it was an accident. Neither Lao Si nor I believed it. But it is not easy to find out anything else."
"Of course it's not an accident!" Hu Aji became excited and said angrily: "I found out about it the next day. I originally wanted to come and visit Brother Min right away, but when I heard the guys saying it was an accident, I didn't believe it, so I secretly inquired.
.As expected, I overheard the conversation between the shopkeeper and his nephew two days ago. The shopkeeper himself said that what happened that day was not an accident. There was a dispute between the second young boss and the eldest young boss that day. I felt unhappy. During the inspection, the second young boss made a fuss.
I accidentally hit a donkey in the eye with my temper, and the goods were hit by the frightened donkey. At that time, it was not falling, and it was crumbling. The shopkeeper was going to ask someone to rearrange it, but something happened to delay it and he forgot.
After talking about this matter, Brother Min..."
"Of course I have to tell Brother Min about this. I don't dare to come during the day for fear of being known by others, so why don't I come quietly at night? Brother Min, what should I do? Is this a matter of course?
