Portable Space: Traveling through Nongmen

Chapter 154 Regret
"Father and mother, isn't it four days before the day of paying the money? Why are they here now?"

How could Gu Lian care so much about this meeting.As a daughter, how could she leave and let her parents suffer here.

"Lian, mother knows that you are filial, but now is not the time to chat, they are here just to remind you, they won't do anything to us, so go away!"

Gu Lian's mother, Zhou Xu, also urged her daughter to leave. This matter has nothing to do with Gu Lian. If her daughter is also involved in this gambling matter, then she will really add to the crime.

"That's right, Lian Er, in the final analysis, this matter has little to do with you, and my in-laws have already helped me so much, I am very grateful, don't let them get involved in the rest of the matter."

Old man Gu also tried to persuade him, and there was nothing good about the casino, they already owed enough to their in-laws, how could they allow Gu Lian and Shen Qinglie to get involved.

And this matter is also useless to him. Since they got old, the old couple wanted to work and no one wanted them, so they could only live on the few acres of land at home.

As the days went by, the money became more and more difficult, and the family's money gradually bottomed out. Let alone 100 taels of silver, the family couldn't even make up 20 taels of silver.

Because of his inconvenient legs and feet, he and his wife rarely left the village, and when they went to the town to buy things, they were always brought back by fellow villagers.

In addition, both he and the old woman saw Gu Yulin's well-behaved appearance, thought he had changed for the better, and never doubted it.

But they didn't expect that not only did he not get better, but he even got worse.

He actually learned how to gamble!He still owed so much money outside, even if he took out all the money at home, it was just a drop in the bucket.

"Father, I..."

Before Gu Lian could open her mouth to tell the second elder that she had collected enough money, the greasy man above who had been sitting and watching the show said impatiently,

"Can you stop the ink, is the 100 taels enough? If you don't make up enough for your son's leg, don't even think about keeping it!"

After listening to the greasy man's words, Gu Lian was about to say that she had collected enough money when she was interrupted by Shen Qinglie, "Master, I remember that there are still a few days before the day to pay the money, why are you here now?"

The greasy man said impatiently, "What's the difference between two days early and two days late? How can I give you two more days, so you can get enough of the 100 taels of silver? Come early and finish sooner!"

The family is poor, and the greasy man rolled his eyes. When he came in just now, he took his men to search all over the house. As a result, there was nothing rich.

With this kind of family, even if they are given a few more days, they can make up 100 taels of silver?
whimsical.

Don't just pack up your things and run away, this is one of the reasons why he came here a few days earlier.

"Young master, just give me a few more days, maybe in a few days before that date, we will have saved enough." Zhou Xu said in fear, she was already working hard to save money Yes, I almost borrowed all my relatives.

Listening to the greasy man's words, and his mother's trembling pleading voice, Gu Yulin lowered his head, letting his long hair cover his face, he clenched his fists silently, regretting why he was killed by those friends in the first place. Bewitched to learn to gamble.

At the beginning, he kept winning and became addicted to it. Later, he didn’t care when he lost, so he wanted to say one more sentence, maybe he could win the money back...but he didn’t expect to keep losing and losing...he borrowed those borrowed money. The money, as well as the money given by my parents, were all lost, and I owed so much money to the casino...

It's his fault, it's all his fault!If he had just listened to his parents and studied well in the school, instead of hanging out with those cronies, and stopped losses in time after losing in the casino, would the result have been different...

Looking at the old, gray-haired parents who are still carrying him, they even sacrifice their dignity to beg...

Gu Yulin's eyes were full of regret, but unfortunately there is no regret medicine in the world for him.

"Maybe, maybe, maybe! What is the money you have now?? You can save so much in a few days? How about grabbing it quickly?"

The greasy man waved his hand impatiently, "I don't have so much time to spend with you, today is today, if you don't give me the 100 taels of silver today, your son's two legs will be lost!"

"Sir, this..."

Hearing the broken leg, Zhou Xu's heart trembled, and immediately he gritted his teeth and wanted to kneel down and beg.

How can her face be more important than her son's two legs, if this leg is broken, she will only be crippled, maybe she will never be able to stand up again...

Just when Zhou Xu's legs were about to kneel down, Gu Yulin grabbed her arm.

"Yulin..."

Gu Yulin shook his head at his mother with a pale face, his eyes were covered with blue-grey, and he must have not had a good rest for a long time.

He raised his eyes and looked at the man sitting on the main seat, "Borrowing money is my business, not my parents' business. My family has no money. Even if I have money, I will never give it to you. I am here , if you want to break this leg, break it!"

The boy's hoarse voice sounded, these words sounded like words spoken when he lost his temper.

But Gu Yulin is very clear that this decision was made after careful consideration. He knew the situation of his family. When he was the richest, his family did not have more than 100 taels of silver.

Not to mention being defeated by him so much now...

Gu Yulin clearly knew that these days, in order to keep his leg, his parents would not hesitate to ask relatives, people in the village to borrow money, and even sold the land that the family had been relying on for survival.

It's all because of him—

It's just a leg, if breaking this leg can erase the 100 taels of silver, then he is willing!

This is the consequence that he should bear. He should have thought of this consequence when he borrowed usury. His mistakes cannot be borne by his parents. In the worst case, he will walk with a limp in the future.

He promised that even if he learns in the future, he will never be as stupid as before.

After living for so many years, it was the first time that Gu Yulin was so clearly aware of what he was talking about.

"Gu Yulin, what are you talking about!"

Hearing his son's words, Gu Lao, who has always been casual in his words and smiles, spoke out angrily.

In order to keep his son, he did not hesitate to sell all the cultivated land in the family, but this unfilial son just said that?

"Father, I know what I'm talking about, but these things happened because of me. I know that the family really has no money. They just want my leg. At least I'm still alive."
