Crossing the road to riches

Chapter 63 The Prodigal Son Returns Home
After walking for ten days, the soles of his feet were already covered with blisters, and his appearance changed drastically.

But the little gold was still tightly held in the palm of his hand, it was the money to save his life, and he would never touch it unless it was absolutely necessary, so he could still hold on.

There are three more days, as long as he persists for three more days, he will be home.

The devil knows how difficult it is for him. When he is hungry, he eats grass and bark. If he is lucky, someone will give him half a bun. When he is thirsty, he drinks water from the ditch. In short, he can't stop.

As soon as I stopped, my mind was filled with the image of Hong Sanniang pressing her head in the bucket, and whenever I thought about it, the suffocation would come.

So he couldn't stop, and when he was really sleepy, he hid himself and slept in the haystack.

Maybe God couldn't understand his ignorance at the beginning, so it rained heavily.

In the heavy rain, there was no one on the road, so Jinmei walked on the road alone like a puppet without a soul.

At the beginning, his body felt tired and painful, but he gritted his teeth and persisted, but then he gradually recovered, and his body was already numb, allowing him to toss and toss step by step.

"I'm going home, I'm going home, going home, going home...".

Jinmei keeps opening her mouth to murmur silently, this is his belief.

The rain lasted from day to night, and his body, which felt cold at first, gradually became hot.

The night of rain made him catch a cold, and even God didn't care for him.

Jinmei looked at the sky with dark clouds covering the moon, it was pitch black with only the sound of rain, he was so tired and sleepy, he really wanted to sleep.

Only now does he feel how good his family is. He doesn't need to worry about three meals a day, and he doesn't have to go to the fields like before. He has money in his hand. Even though he is ugly and cannot marry, his parents still treat him well.

But why was he so selfish and stupid, just for that Hong Sanniang in wolf's clothing?

He was sorry for his parents, for his third sister, and most of all for Fufu.

Fufu gave himself all his own money, and he didn't know if he was blamed. If his father found out, he didn't know how to get angry at him.

But it was also Fufu who gave him the hope of gritting his teeth and escaping back. If it wasn't for the piece of gold that Fufu gave him, he would have no courage anyway.

no!He couldn't sleep and couldn't get up if he fell down.

If he was caught by Sanniang, he wouldn't be able to go back.

Hong Sanniang did not give up.

She was crippled by the debtor, cut off a few fingers, and snatched the houseboat, and she is now penniless.

The debtor said that if he didn't pay back the money, he would hunt him down to the ends of the earth.

She owed the casino 500 taels, how would she pay back the entire 500 taels.

It's all because Wen Jinmei must be unlucky for him, if it wasn't for him, why would he lose so badly every time his luck is the best, and finally owe money.

It's all him, he looks horrific, and he's just an unlucky plague god.

But there is no way out, when those people threw Jinmei's clothes on her face, they gave her another chance to turn things around.

Jinmei's underwear was embroidered with her name, and she was sure that Jinmei would find a way to run back.

It's impossible for her family to ignore him, and even if they ignore him, the Wen family can't let this kind of thing spread, especially Wen Hao.

A man elopes with a woman shamelessly, and after he elopes, he is found to have an affair with an outsider and runs back in embarrassment. It is wonderful to think about it.

If you don't want this reputation to spread, you'd better give him money obediently.

If that's the case, if I still open a store or do a merchandiser, wouldn't the money just come to me in a steady stream?

Thinking of Bai Huahua's steady stream of money coming from her to herself, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep in the deserted temple, so she quickly got up and worshiped the Bodhisattva.

It must be the Bodhisattva who protects and protects himself.

"Thank you Bodhisattva for your blessing, thank you Bodhisattva for your blessing, if I become successful, I will definitely burn incense for you."

three days later

Jinmei is no different from a beggar now. Fortunately, the refugees in Xicheng County have already been resettled, and the gates are not strict and no one is blocking them.

Otherwise, he might not even be able to enter the city with his appearance.

Jinmei looked at the familiar city gate and knelt down on the ground with a plop. He finally came back, he finally came back, he arrived home.

But God made trouble again, and Hong Sanniang recognized Jinmei at the gate of the city from a distance.

With her so-called successful business experience, Hong Sanniang got a free ride without spending a penny.

Seeing Jinmei limping over immediately, she was ecstatic, if Jinmei was in his hands, it would be even more leverage.

He rushed over and hugged Jinmei from behind.

"Are you running? I finally caught you and I chased after you so hard. You don't want your wife? Are you so cruel?".

The familiar words made him feel extremely fearful and disgusting, Jinmei never thought that something would go wrong at the gate of the city, and struggled with all her might.

"Hong Sanniang, let me go, otherwise I will never let you go."

Ah!She Hong Sanniang is so easy to be threatened?
But she really underestimated Jinmei. Jinmei was tall and big, and she used to work in the fields with her family, she was not the kind of coquettish young lady.

Pushing Hong Sanniang back with all her strength, Hong Sanniang was thrown three meters away, but immediately her face contorted and she was about to pounce again.

But it didn't work, and he was directly caught by the gatekeeper.

"Boldly dare to make trouble at the gate of the city, be careful, and get out of here quickly."

Jinmei seized the opportunity to run as hard as she could, but she didn't know where the strength came from, and hurriedly turned into the path and ran wildly.

Hong Sanniang wanted to chase her, but her legs were lame and she couldn't walk fast. It just so happened that the soldier guarding the city gate was very unhappy. Today, she was scolded by her husband, and her work was not peaceful.

He directly vented his anger on Hong Sanniang, and Hong Sanniang was kicked out immediately when he wanted to enter the city.

"You are not allowed to enter the city, if you dare to make trouble at the gate of the city, get out of here, otherwise you will be a mob, and you will be beaten and jailed."

Hong Sanniang was so scared that she didn't want to. Although she was unwilling, she still left with her tail between her legs.

"Miss Wen Jin counts you as lucky, but you won't be able to run forever for a while."

Jinmei walked in the city from daytime to nighttime before reaching the courtyard of Wen's Tea House.

Finally, his body reached its limit, and he fainted directly on the ground, but he held the gold tightly in his hand.

At dawn the next day, Baozi went out to the bun shop to buy buns to eat. Baozi came back from the back door and found it. Baozi was so scared that he almost choked to death.

Baozi didn't recognize this person, but he didn't dare to make a private claim, so he hurried back to inform his wife and the lord.

Wen Hao had just woken up to have breakfast with Fufu when he saw Baozi in a hurry.

"It's not good, it's not good, ma'am, someone passed out at the back door of our yard, do you want to help if you are still alive?".

Fufu looked at Wen Hao, and Wen Hao immediately put down his chopsticks and went to the back door to see what was going on.

Perhaps it was because of the blessing of blood relationship that made her feel uneasy.

As soon as he passed by, the man was still lying there, and the servants did not dare to move, they just stood by and guarded.

Fufu saw that the man looked familiar even though he didn't see his face, so he couldn't be the second brother, right?

Wen Hao could tell at a glance.

"It's the second brother."

Wen Hao didn't dislike the filthy and out of shape Jinmei at all, picked her up and walked inside.

Fufu immediately asked Baozi to find a doctor.

The two stood together in front of Jinmei's bed with worries on their faces.

In particular, Fufu is [-]% worried and [-]% guilty.

"Why did the second brother come back like this? What happened? Did I cause trouble?"

Hate iron but not steel

"When he wakes up, he will know what happened."

Wen Hao is also angry, but in just one and a half months, why did he become this inhuman and ghost-like.

The doctor was immediately dragged back by Baozi.

After Wang Wen Wen cut a set of procedures, he shook his head sadly.

Fufu looked sad: "Second brother is going?".

Wen Hao: "What is the cause of death? Please tell the doctor clearly."

The doctor's face became even more ugly.

She doesn't want to be a quack.

"What is not dead, when did I say that people will die."

Wen Hao was also speechless, "Then why are you shaking your head and sighing?"

The doctor stared.

"I'm used to it, can't I?"

"He is suffering from typhoid fever. I will take a few medicines and eat it. Secondly, the body is too tired and needs to rest. After two days of sleep, he will wake up. When the time comes, he will feed some rice porridge and drink slowly. coming".

After saying this, Wen Hao and Fu Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

When Jinmei woke up, she opened her eyes and was in a daze. Is she really alive?
If it wasn't for the pain and discomfort in his body reminding himself he must have thought he was having a dream.

"Are you awake? I'll call the Lord and Madam."

The voice is simple and thick, which is familiar to him.

He had a lot of grievances to say, but when he saw Wen Hao and Fu Fu, they all turned into tears.

I couldn't utter a word, and felt ashamed to say it.

When the person woke up, Wen Hao immediately asked someone to notify her parents, otherwise she was afraid that her parents would miss her.

But now people are waking up.

When Zhao Shi and Wen Fugui heard that their son immediately put down what they were doing, they rushed back desperately and pushed the door open.

Jinmei and Zhao Shi met each other's eyes, and time seemed to be frozen.

In the end it was Mrs. Zhao who broke the silence, rushed to the bed and gave Jinmei a bag.

The same hate iron is not steel.

"Look at what good things you have done. Your mother and I have lost face, and your sister has lost face as a businessman?".

Jinmei's tears that had just dried up were now surging again.

"I'm sorry dad, I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't be disobedient."

Mrs. Zhao is just a paper tiger at this time, just when she became strict, seeing her son like this, she immediately softened and her eyes turned red.

"Okay, don't cry, don't cry, don't you come back, it's good to be back, you don't have to be afraid if you have parents."

The two men were crying together, and Wan Feng was at the side like an invisible person. Seeing this scene, she almost couldn't hold back.

He also misses his parents, but unfortunately his parents are no longer alive.

After crying, Mrs. Zhao asked the truth about Jinmei's going out these days.

Jinmei didn't hide a single word, except that she met Fufu and Fufu before leaving, everything was related.

He said that Fufu would not be hurt.

Wen Fugui clenched his fists tightly, wishing to beat that beast to death with one punch.

Mrs. Zhao patted the bed board directly and viciously.

"This goddamn beast actually did such a thing. If she appeared in front of me, she would never let her go."

The family is cursing, saying that Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here.

The servant waited outside the door with a package.

"Ma'am, someone gave a package and said that you must open it and have a look."

"who is it?".

The servant shook her head, she also looked confused.

"That person is a lame man, and he ran away as soon as he gave me something, as if I was afraid that I would chase her."

As soon as the boy spoke, Jinmei knew who it was, and her body subconsciously trembled in fear.

"It's Hong Sanniang, it's her, it's her who came to see me, what should I do?"

Extremely flustered.

Wen Hao opened the package immediately, she wanted to see what tricks she was playing.

As soon as they opened it, the faces of the whole family turned green. It was Jinmei's clothes, and the ones on top were underwear.

There is also a note full of words on it.

"Sister Wang will meet at the gate of the city at noon tomorrow with 1000 taels of silver. Otherwise, Wen Jinmei will elope with someone immediately. After elopement, she will be found to have an affair with her niece, and the whole city will soon know that she fled back to Xicheng County after soaking in a pig cage." .

After reading the contents of the letter, Mrs. Zhao fainted directly, and Jinmei's face turned pale.

I didn't expect that Hong Sanniang was such a shameless person.

After a moment of panic, Mrs. Zhao still woke up, gritted her teeth and woke up. The whole family looked at Wen Hao and didn't know what to do.

1000 taels, that is 1000 taels.

After a while, Jinmei made a decision. Even if he dipped into a pig cage, he would not let Hong Sanniang succeed. He couldn't harm the whole family because of his stupidity.

"Third Sister, don't promise her, I know who she is, don't give it to her even if I die, please."

Naturally, Wen Hao would not be so arbitrary.

"Second brother, don't worry, I won't give you the money, and I will try my best to keep your reputation, but I hope you have learned a lesson this time."

Jinmei's face was full of guilt, he almost killed the whole family.

"Third sister, I have suffered enough, and I will never be so stupid to be deceived by women in the future."

Wen Hao sighed, from the bottom of his heart, he was doing good to Jin Mei.

"Second brother, men don't live their lives for women, but for themselves. Have you ever thought that men can also live a fulfilling life with their own abilities. Flowers bloom and butterflies come naturally, but first they have to bloom."

I don't know if Jinmei listened to this remark, but Wan Feng, who no one cared about, put it in her heart.

You don't need to rely on others, you can break out a world by yourself, so that flowers bloom and butterflies come naturally.

He has no one to rely on, and now the only one he can rely on is himself. If he doesn't live up to his expectations, he can only do nothing for the rest of his life and grow old.

Jinmei's experience and Wen Hao's words shocked him unceasingly. His heart, which had been burning with fire, suddenly exploded. The blood was mixed with admiration. This heart was like a sweet firework ignited.

Can't help but look at Wen Hao.

Wen Hao suddenly felt as if someone was staring at him, and he followed his feeling to look but found nothing.

It's just that Wan Feng's face was the same but his heart was beating wildly. He lost his composure and was almost found out. It was so dangerous.

He knew who Wen Hao was, and if he found out that he had dirty thoughts, he might kick him out immediately.

Although he likes to yearn for admiration, he doesn't know what to do. He clearly understands the ending of impulsiveness.

But if he can turn this forbearing love into a driving force and become the man she admires, this is the best ending.
