I live in Dayu Changsheng

Chapter 2, The Heart

"So it's the old Chu's family! It's probably because of the extra money..."

Fang Rui narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and went out.

At this time, there was already a circle of people outside Old Chu's house, all of them were neighbors and folks.

"Uncle Fuquan! Sister Caigen! Uncle Big Hammer! Brother Little Hammer!"

Fang Rui greeted each of them and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Old Chu's family has an accident." Mrs. Cai Gen sighed.

"Not yet..."

"Xiao Hammer, shut up! Hey, Ah Rui, you can see for yourself!"

The ones called 'Uncle Big Hammer' and 'Brother Little Hammer' are Wang Dahammer and Wang Xiaohammer respectively.

At this time, the father and son stepped aside so that Fang Rui could step forward and see inside.

I see:

Outside the gate of Old Chu's house, two servants of Master Hu escorted them to their knees. It was Lao Chu and Xiao Chu from Old Chu's house!
They were both from the same village. Fang Rui also knew these two people. He still remembered that his family had a good relationship with Lao Chu's family, and his father had treated Lao Chu's illnesses.

"Everyone listen up!"

Lord Tiger stood aside, his jet-black bunt a little messy.

He also didn't forbid the crowd to watch, or he said that this is exactly what he wanted to see, to imitate others: "Old Chu's family fights against the handed over money, is to fight against Zhang Heihu! Fight against the Tiger Gang! Especially: They dare to do something to me ..."

After hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar.

"Old Chu's family is so bold!"

"Do you still dare to fight Master Tiger?"

"It really... ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall."

……

"Fight against the Tiger Gang? Do something against Lord Tiger? With the temperament of Lao Chu's family, it is impossible!"

Fang Rui looked into the old Chu's house: the tables and chairs were scattered and messy.

Immediately.

He had some guesses in his mind: the real facts should be: the Tiger Gang raised taxes, the old Chu family couldn't pay it, Master Hu and others had dirty hands and feet, so they wanted to take the opportunity to snatch it, and then there was a physical conflict... This should be the truth about 'fighting the Tiger Gang' and 'handling the Tiger Lord'.

Of course, Lord Tiger must have taken advantage of the situation to show off his power!
really.

Old Chu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to defend himself.

boom!
At this time, Master Hu gave a ruthless kick, and directly kicked Old Chutou somersaultingly: "Today, I will implement the gang rules and gang laws! Drag it on, hit me! Hit me hard!"

The two followers hurriedly followed, kicking and kicking, beating the old Chu father and son until they screamed.

After a while.

Only with a wave of his hand, Master Hu made the two servants stop, squinting his eyes and said: "Okay, the gang regulations have been implemented, and the regular money can't be less... search for me!"

heard.

The two servants rushed into Old Chu's house like wolves and tigers, smashing and searching.

boom!
The large jars filled with water were overturned and cracked.

Whoa!

A mat was lifted directly, and the quilt and pillows were scattered all over the floor.

This kind of tragic scene of copying the house, combined with the old Chu father and son's bruised nose and swollen face, humming and screaming, immediately made everyone feel sorry for them.

After all, they are all neighbors and folks who know the basics. Seeing the suffering of Lao Chu's family, it is inevitable that things will hurt them.

But at most it is sympathy.

More?

But dare not.

Fang Rui looked around and thought to himself: "Actually, there are hundreds of people in the neighborhood, and there are only three of Mr. Hu. If everyone rushes up with them, Mr. Hu and his ilk will die without a place to die. Forced to that point, honestly and patiently, this is the end...'

'Of course, there is a 'Tiger Gang' behind Lord Tiger, if you really want to resist...it will probably end in tragedy! '

"found it."

At this time, one of the attendants was surprised, and from the big black box that contained the clothes, he took out a silver bracelet wrapped in red cloth, and handed it to Lord Tiger as if offering a treasure.

"You can't...give it back to me...this is the dead child's mother's dowry!"

The old Chutou had already been beaten to the point of unconsciousness, but when he saw the silver bracelet, he suddenly struggled violently, as if he was returning to light.

"Old thing, get out!"

Master Hu flew up and kicked Old Chu's head until his forehead hit the ground, causing his face to be covered in blood: "Good guy, a silver bracelet that weighs two coins, Old Chu... you still said you couldn't pay the case?" money?"

"Haha, it's not hard for me, Old Chu, this is your apology for doing something to me...Let's go!"

After Master Tiger finished speaking, he waved his hand and walked away with his two attendants. The crowd scattered wherever he passed, like avoiding snakes and scorpions.

He looked at the backs of Lord Tiger and the others leaving.

Fang Rui recalled Lord Tiger's attitude when he came to his home 'Caozhitang' before, and he suddenly realized: "My family is in the neighborhood, and it is at the upper-middle level... Father conscripted away, and I am a sick child again. No confidence... It's the most suitable chicken to scare monkeys! '

'Before, Lord Tiger and his ilk must have come here to provoke trouble, thanks to my wit... If I said a few more words at that time, I'm afraid I would have been beaten up immediately! '

'Looking at it this way, the old Chu family has suffered in our place.Otherwise, even if the old Chu family fails to pay the full amount for the time being, Master Hu may not go so far! '

'Of course, as long as the old Chu family is reluctant to part with the silver bracelet and fails to pay the full amount, it will end like this sooner or later. '

thought here.

Fang Rui sighed deeply: "This world is... difficult!"

Having said that, in fact, his family is not the most difficult in terms of horizontal comparison.

like:

Old Chu's family was a itinerant merchant, and with this year's drought, consumption in the county fell, and his family couldn't even get enough money.

Zhang Dachui and Zhang Xiaochui's family are blacksmiths, and their business has also declined. Fortunately, they have accepted orders from the government and can barely make a living, but the hardships and tiredness... Needless to say.

Uncle Fuquan and Mrs. Caigen's family make tofu, so it's still difficult. They are just barely getting by.

……

Among the neighbors, the better one is the third lady from the next door, who runs a wine shop and is said to be backed by a military leader, who is considered the best among the neighbors.

"By the way, the third lady doesn't seem to be here..."

Fang Rui looked at the third lady's house next door to his own. The door was locked and he was not at home. He couldn't help but shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

'On the whole, my family is at an upper-middle level among the neighborhood, not the best, but not the most difficult either. '

'It's the mean...the mean is good, the mean is wonderful, don't stand out, don't attract attention. '

Thinking this way, Fang Rui looked at the Chu family father and son being picked up by the neighbors, and walked back to his own 'Caozhitang' instead of joining in the fun.

As for taking the initiative to treat the father and son of the old Chu family?
nonexistent.

The friendship is not for that's sake - maybe Fang's father has a good relationship with Old Chu's family, but it's not him.

Furthermore.

At this moment, if Fang Rui took the initiative to treat the father and son of the old Chu family, it would be regarded as aid by default. Not only would he not receive a large medical fee, but he would also have to pay for the medicinal materials.

On the contrary, if the other party comes to the 'Cao Zhi Tang', it is a normal diagnosis and treatment, no matter whether the other party pays the medical fee with food or owes it, they have to pay.

This is not excessive calculation, but too poor, poor enough to have to care about this.

Not only Fang Rui, but also others.

For example: At this moment, what other people do is to support the old Chu family and send the father and son of the old Chu family back to the house. For these things that are not costly, will someone take out eggs, bacon or other supplements for the old Chu family?

No!

Others are not generous, so why should Fang Rui be generous?

Instead of being poor and generous, it's better to use that little money to buy some things to nourish the health of mother and younger sister!
As for saying that there is no pattern?

"Heh! Dad has gone to the army. If I'm 'poor and generous', not only will I arouse unnecessary suspicion, but the neighbors will think I'm being taken advantage of and will bully me when I'm young!"

Don't think that this is a fantasy, it is completely possible, and it is a high probability event.

Never underestimate the evil of human nature!
"That's the way of the world,"

Fang Rui's eyes flashed: "For the poor, it really is... not allowed to have extra sympathy!"

……

in the afternoon.

The business of 'Caozhitang' is good. There are two or three waves of patients, and the consultation fee is five big bucks, but the cost is actually only two big bucks.

By the way, the old Chu family's father and son also came. Fang Rui did the bone setting and applied medicinal wine. The other party had no money, so he took ten catties of wheat bran to pay for the consultation fee.

When the sun goes down.

Fang Xueshi came back with a basket on her shoulders, but her face was full of fear, and she said as soon as she entered the door: "Brother Rui, thanks to you!"
