Guan Youde said goodbye to Zhong Ji and returned home with his head groggy. He didn't even say hello to acquaintances he met along the way.
The door opened with a "squeak", and the adobe house was empty. There were only a few valuable things. It would be an understatement to say that the house had only four walls.
After lying on the shabby bed and squinting for a while, Guan Youde got up, lit firewood on the small stove and boiled the medicine. Over the years, all the family's money was spent in the medicine jar.
I don’t know what evil he did in his previous life. He contracted a strange disease when he was in his prime. In the past ten years, he had seen all the famous and contemporary doctors in the area. He also visited Taoist priests and drank the talisman water from the wizards and goddesses, but he just didn’t feel better.
, his health was getting worse day by day, but God would not let him die immediately. After the Australians came in, he pawned his property to collect money and went to the Provincial and Hong Kong General Hospital to seek medical treatment. A doctor surnamed Fu told him what kind of intractable disease it was.
He prescribed a Chinese medicine prescription. Strangely enough, it stabilized his illness. He has been relying on this prescription to stay alive for the past two years.
After drinking the medicine, Guan Youde remembered that when he was seeing a doctor in Guangzhou, he met a childhood friend who was doing business in the city and invited him to make a fortune together. He couldn't help but have an idea in his mind. He touched the empty money bag and found
After searching around the house, I only found a dime of silver, which was not even enough to pay for the trip to Guangzhou.
"All I have to do is go to that stinky bitch and the traitor to ask for some money." Guan Youde thought to himself.
In the evening, Guan Youde came to a mulberry base not far from the village, where there are thatched houses of several silkworm farmers. The walls of the thatched houses are made of branches cut from the mulberry garden in winter, woven with mud, and the top is covered with straw.
Bedding. This kind of thatched house is the residence of local poor silkworm farmers. The silkworm houses and dormitories are mixed together. Due to their simple construction and low cost, they are widely distributed. Wherever there are mulberry fields, such silkworm houses can be found.
Guan Youde pushed the door open and went in. He saw a haggard middle-aged woman wearing rags, feeding mulberry leaves to silkworms in a dim thatched house. The woman glanced at Guan Youde, her face was gloomy, she said nothing, her hands were
She kept working, as if Guan Youde would automatically disappear if she didn't stop.
"Give me two taels of silver. I'm going to Guangzhou City." Guan Youde said to the woman. He did not call her by name or address her.
The woman was very dissatisfied when she heard this and said, "Bao'er takes care of all the money."
Guan Youde cursed unhappily: "You bitch, what's your attitude? Do you still care about me, the head of the family?"
"The head of a family should act like the head of the family." The woman retorted, her words laced with thorns.
Guan Youdeqi also came up and cursed: "In my life, I have been betrayed and separated from my family, and my wife and children were separated, all because of you, a bitch! If you hadn't cuckolded me, would I be like this?"
"Humph," the woman sneered and said in her heart: You are such a traitor, your wife and children are separated. I am your wife. I will not enjoy the blessings of being with you for a long time in this life. You yourself have a strange disease, and all the family's property has been exhausted by you.
Blame me too! You were heartless, hooked up with a wild woman, and even kicked me out of the house. Now you have the nerve to put the crime on me. Why is God so blind and didn't tell the Lord of Hell to take you in sooner?
It turns out that this woman is Guan Youde's wife Huang, who was driven out of the house two years ago because of his madness.
Guan Youde cursed a lot, but Huang just endured it and continued to say nothing. At this time, the drafty thatched door was pushed open, and a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old came in. This was the Bao'er in Huang's mouth, and she was also
He Guan Youde's only descendant is named Guan Zongbao.
When Guan Zongbao saw Guan Youde coming, his mood suddenly became very low. He didn't even want to look at him or call him, and went straight to help Huang's work.
Guan Youde was furious again and cursed: "Guan Zongbao, do you still see me as your father in your eyes? Are you my son?"
Mrs. Huang also got angry and screamed: "Why is he not your son?"
"If you were my son, you wouldn't even call me daddy! Do you have any respect for me as daddy?" Guan Youde said angrily.
"Ask yourself, what have you done over the years that deserves my respect?" Guan Zongbao didn't know where he got the courage. He raised his neck and yelled at Guan Youde. Normally, he would hide whenever he could.
Avoid it if you can.
"Then you are not my son! Do you dare to follow me to the ancestral hall and confess your blood in front of the whole clan! If it turns out that he is not my son, I will not look for you in the future, and you will not be responsible." Guan You
While cursing, De took out matches and cigarettes and lit them.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Huang shouted anxiously: "Don't smoke here! The silkworms will be smoked to death by you! Get out quickly!"
Seeing that his mother was anxious, Guan Zongbao also stepped forward and shouted: "Get out!"
Guan Youde was furious when he saw it. The stinky woman and his son dared to yell at him like this. They were so angry that they cursed: "How dare you drive me out! This is my home! I am the head of the family!"
"Go back to your Guanjia Village and be the head of the family! These two thatched houses were built by me and my grandmother out of bundles of sticks and straw!" Guan Zongbao was very angry and shouted at him without showing any signs of weakness.
Guan Youde couldn't stand this anger, so he slapped Guan Zongbao in the face with his backhand. Guan Zongbao was hit and took two steps back. In a moment of rage, he rushed forward and started fighting with Guan Youde. Since ancient times, it has been a feudal ethics for a son to beat me.
The most despicable behavior, Guan Zongbao did not dare to be cruel, but just tried to pin Guan Youde to the ground and prevent him from moving. Guan Youde was merciless when he beat people, but it was a pity that he was suffering from old illness and his strength was not good.
He was no match for Guan Zongbao, who was more than ten years old. He hit Guan Zongbao a few times and was pinned to the ground.
When Mrs. Huang saw his father and son fighting each other, he was so anxious that he couldn't stop crying.
Guan Youde was not willing to give up. Seeing that there was no chance of winning, he bit Guan Zongbao's calf. Guan Zongbao was so painful that he quickly let go of his leg. Due to the excessive force just now, Guan Zongbao's limbs were no longer strong. His hands and feet seemed to be filled with lead. Instead, he was imprisoned.
Youde prevailed.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Huang was afraid that her son would be beaten badly, so she rushed to beat Guan Youde, shouting: "Don't beat my son, don't beat my son, if you want to beat me, beat me..."
Guan Youde let go of Guan Zongbao and went to beat Huang. For a while, there was a lot of noise in the thatched house, with cries and shouts. The neighbors living next to him were all attracted, and then they were separated.
.Neighbors saw that it was someone else’s family matter, and they just tried to persuade them, but no one was willing to uphold justice.
Guan Youde spat and said, "Give me two taels of silver and I'm going to Guangzhou!"
Mrs. Huang cried: "Two taels of silver! These two years have been chaotic and chaotic. Don't you know how difficult life is? If I give it to you, what will my mother and son use to buy charcoal for drying cocoons and silkworm paper for the next generation?"
"
Guan Youde snorted coldly, "Whether you steal or sell, what does it have to do with me? You are my wife, it is only natural that you give me money! I have worked hard to raise my son, and now it is my turn to
It’s time for him to support me!”
Guan Zongbao knew that Guan Youde would never give up until he got the money today. He only felt that there was infinite resentment in his heart, but he didn't know where to vent it. He gritted his teeth and said: "Silver! Silver! You only know silver! How have you ever felt this in your heart?
Our mother and son?"
After saying that, Guan Zongbao rummaged around in the thatched house and dug out a few pieces of silver from several different locations on the roof, walls, and underground. The total amount was about one tael, and threw it to Guan Youde: "You want some silver?"
Just take it and don’t bother us again!”
Guan Youde picked up the silver, weighed it in his hands, and sneered: "I will come back." After saying that, he left without looking back.
After the fight just now, Guan Zongbao's body was weak, his mouth and tongue were dry, and the adrenaline soaring in his blood made his face pale and his mind dizzy. He was so thirsty that he scooped up a bowl of cold water from the bucket and drank it. After a while, he was
I felt uncomfortable in my stomach and vomited while holding the urine bucket.
Mrs. Huang has endured it for many years. Now that her neighbors have seen her family scandal, she started crying in front of them. If she doesn't speak up now, in a few days the village will be full of gossip that is detrimental to her mother and son. No one else can care about it.
After hearing this, other than sighing and sighing, it will not have any effect. The most good-hearted people can say a few words about morality when they hear gossip.
After the neighbors dispersed, leaving only a mess in the thatched house, Guan Zongbao took out a candle, struck a match and lit it. The shadows of the mother and son flickered under the weak flames.
Guan Zongbao took a look at his calf. There was a scary tooth mark on it, and it was bleeding. He remembered that the elders of the tribe had said that the mouths of animals were poisonous, and bites had to be washed with soju, so he rummaged through the debris.
A small bottle of shochu came out and poured it on him. The pain caused tears to form in the corners of his eyes.
Huang's eyes were dull, her expression was dazed, and she just cried silently. The burden of survival had made her breathless, and there was a man at home who was like a plague god who came to make trouble from time to time.
After treating the wound, Guan Zongbao asked Huang: "Mom, what should I do next?"
Mrs. Huang cried: "God damn him, why didn't God take him away? I don't know what evil I did in my last life, and I have to pay off my debt. I've had enough of this kind of life..."
Guan Zongbao heard that Huang had thoughts of committing suicide and said hurriedly: "Mom, if you don't want to live with him, just don't live with him."
Huang said: "I have thought about it too, but how could he divorce me like this? If he were a beast, he would have been beaten to death and sold as meat long ago. He is not a human being."
"Then we will go far away and never come back."
Mrs. Huang hesitated, "My mother and son are gone, and he will definitely go to his parents' house to cause trouble. Your grandpa is old, and your uncle is useless..."
Guan Zongbao also felt resentful in his heart. His neighbors were poor or poor, but they could live in harmony with each other. Life would always be good. Why was there so much chaos in his family? Everything was rooted in that person. He must find a way to get rid of him.
