Paper horse incense shop

Chapter 15 Father and Son
  Almost at that moment, the originally beaming expression on Zhu Daqian's face suddenly stopped.

After a long while, he opened his mouth, and the first sentence he spoke was:
  "No way, did you point out the wrong thing?"

"I didn't see anyone there?"

In his mind, beggars cannot be considered human beings!
  I was speechless, took a few steps forward, took out the few banknotes in my pocket, and put the money into the beggar's bowl. The stooped and smelly beggar kowtowed repeatedly.

Zhu Daqian's brows furrowed as he looked at it, and he didn't come forward for a long time. I couldn't help but have some mockery in my words, and asked:
  "Mr. Zhu, don't you want to recognize your biological child? Why don't you step forward and take a closer look?"

Zhu Daqian looked at the beggar with gray hair and beard, covered in rags, with an extremely embarrassed smile on his face. He was completely different from the high-spirited man when he entered the city:

"This stinky beggar can't do it."

"This man looks older than me! Brother Tu, did you, the paper man, originally want to point to the shop at the back? Let's not go and take a look."

There was some sincere desire in these words, and there was always a hint of disgust and disdain when looking away from the beggar.

The second uncle was very impatient and waved his hand:

"My paper figurines can't go wrong. You don't have time to mess around with me. Why don't you take the figurine back as soon as possible and clean it to see if it's your child."

With these words being the final word, Zhu Daqian could no longer bear the blow and let out an earth-shattering cough.

He got off the back of the middle-aged man and walked a few steps towards the ragged beggar, as if he wanted to get a closer look at his biological child.

As soon as he got closer, the beggar on the ground who was counting money looked up at him, but was so frightened that he couldn't even hold the money, fell to the ground, and crawled back.

As soon as the beggar moved, I could see clearly that there was nothing in the man's left trouser leg.

The beggar looked frightened, so he crawled and shouted:
  "I don't dare anymore, Mr. Zhu, I don't dare anymore!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Zhu Daqian was stunned on the spot, but also my second uncle and I were stunned.

I asked tentatively:
  "Have you two known each other before?"

If you didn't know him, your reaction wouldn't be so big.

And what age is this? Why do people still call people "Master"?
  Facing the probing gazes of several people present, Zhu Daqian's face turned blue and black, then black and white. After a long time, he trembled his lips, stretched out his hand and pointed tremblingly at the dilapidated beggar on the ground:

"You, you, you are not the same Wang Jianmin who wanted to elope with my Xiaoliu fifty years ago."

Zhu Daqian was obviously extremely shocked, and he didn't even add the word "bitch" that he must use when calling his children now.

Wang Jianmin was kneeling on the ground, obviously very frightened. His mind seemed a little unclear, and he could only repeat a few simple sentences back and forth:

".No! It's not me! I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore, don't hit me, don't cut off my legs -"

"Help! Help!!!"

Wang Jianmin roared loudly, attracting people on the roadside to look sideways. The second uncle quickly stepped forward to hold down the excited Wang Jianmin, allowing him to regain his consciousness a little.

Zhu Daqian's face was numb at this time, his eyes were empty, and he murmured:

".God's will, it's all God's will."

"My biological son is actually you!"

"Not fifty years, but more than forty years ago, my Xiaoliu Dongmei was so beautiful that she had to hook up with a boy who moved goods at the dock."

"I'll find someone to saw off your legs."

"God's will, what a God's will!"

Zhu Daqian laughed loudly, his eyes bloodshot:
  "Now that I think about it, it must have been that bitch Dongmei who seduced you. Her whore is restless. What kind of good thing can she be!"

"It's all her fault, all her fault! If it hadn't been for that bitch, I wouldn't have broken my biological son's legs, and I wouldn't have let my father and son be separated from each other for so many years!"

Zhu Daqian grabbed Wang Jianmin. He burst into tears and wanted to hold him in his arms, but was turned away by the smell of Wang Jianmin. He could only do the next best thing, hold the other party's hand firmly, and coaxed in a gentle voice:

"Jianmin, you have been wronged!"

"If you go with dad, dad will make it up to you well in the future!"

"Dad will find the best doctor to fix your leg!"

I interrupted at the right time: "If you can't connect it, the leg is gone at all!"

Zhu Daqian was already immersed in the atmosphere of fatherly kindness and filial piety that he had created. When he heard what I said, he suddenly choked and reacted immediately:

"Okay! Then dad will replace your legs! Get you the best prosthetic legs!"

"Let's go to the hospital and put your legs on. Wait, Brother Tu——"

My second uncle stood next to me and sneered, but he was also stunned when he was suddenly called.

Zhu Daqian let go of the struggling Wang Jianmin and asked sincerely:
  "Brother Tu, I thought of something. Your paper man is so powerful and can travel across mountains and ridges. Can you make a paper leg for my son that can move?!"

I was startled and quickly looked at my second uncle. My second uncle was also deep in thought. He answered after a long time:
  "I've never done this before, but I can give it a try."

Zhu Daqian suddenly beamed with joy, patted his son on the back and shouted for help, but Wang Jianmin's face was full of fear from beginning to end, and he did not dare to meet Zhu Daqian's eyes.

A group of us returned to the village along the way we came. The only difference was that this time there was more Wang Jianmin, no, Zhu Jianmin.

This was Zhu Daqian's request to change his story. He was overjoyed along the way. When he met someone, he would brag that he had a sweetheart who secretly gave birth to a child for him. Now that he has found his biological son, it is a happy event.

In the strange eyes of the villagers, Zhu Daqian seemed to feel proud for a while. He straightened his back and divided the red wedding candies he bought in the town one by one.

I was a little impatient with this fight, so I went home directly with my second uncle.

As soon as I entered the house, I asked:
  "Second uncle, will Zhu Daqian really treat his biological son well? Why do I not believe it so much?!"

"Today, he recounted what happened to Xie Jinhua decades ago. He probably wanted to gain some face."

"Moreover, this man is double-dealing. It was clear that he broke Jianmin's leg for Xiaoliu, but now that he knows that Xiaoliu is not his biological child, he calls her a slut and a whore."

The more I talked, the more frustrated I became, but my second uncle smiled. My mind turned and I quickly asked my second uncle if he had done anything.

The second uncle laughed non-stop and pointed to the pocket where he had put the golden flower paper figurine:
  "I stuffed Xie Jinhua into Zhu Daqian's pocket!"

I was surprised, and my second uncle continued:
  "It's a good thing that Zhu Daqian is so open and honest about bad things. It's natural. Otherwise, I really wouldn't dare to do this."

"There is a saying that goes like this, every wrong is his fault. Your second uncle and I just accidentally lost a paper man and it was picked up by a female ghost. If this female ghost did something, we can't blame it!"

I praised him repeatedly, but suddenly thought of something:

"Then uncle, are you really going to make paper prosthetics for Wang Zhu Jianming?"

"Aren't we just making ghost artifacts? Now are we going to innovate?"

The second uncle shook his head repeatedly:

"That's ok, the paper maker's rule is not to make paper figures for living people!"

"What are you..." I asked.

The second uncle said:
  "If I don't agree like this, why do you have a reason to go to Zhu's house?"

　This guy named Zhu, including the scumbag named Zhu from the previous book, is the big beast that the author’s best friend met! His end must be tragic!
  　　I want to tell everyone that this man encouraged my best friend to borrow money from her friends to support him, but she hasn’t paid back the money yet, and her friends of the past ten years are gone!
  　　So the author really hates love brain!
