Chapter 517 Consequences

"Yes, it's me!" Lou Xiao'e said, "That is my thing."

"You fart, that's mine, it's mine, you bitch, bitch!"

Faced with Xu Damao's insults, Lou Xiao'e didn't care at all, as if she didn't hear the hysterical and vicious curses at all.

Lou Xiao'e just looked at Xu Damao indifferently, and after Xu Damao couldn't stop scolding him anymore, he said calmly: "Do you know who I gave that box of things to in the end?"

"Did you give that box of things away?" Xu Damao was stunned. Apparently he didn't expect that Lou Xiao'e would be willing to give the things away.

Lou Xiao'e said calmly: "I don't like that little bit of gold. After I got the box back, I gave it to Brother Zhu and Sister-in-law Qiuye."

"What? Did you give all those little yellow croakers to Silly Zhu?" Xu Damao's eyes were about to burst with excitement, and his face was full of shock.

Lou Xiao'e still looked calm, as if she was talking about an inconspicuous thing: "Do you know how the Peony Building opened?"

"It's not Wang Zhong's money..." Xu Damao was stunned before he could finish his words. Then he looked at Lou Xiao'e and asked, "Is it that box of small yellow croakers?"

"That's right, Brother Zhu sold a few of the box of small yellow croakers, and the two of them scraped together some more. Together with Wang Zhong and Yu Yu, the three of them contributed money to jointly open the Peony House."

"Back then, you were so happy under Li Huaide that you harassed people everywhere. In the entire Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, no one was afraid of you when they mentioned the word Xu Damao. But do you know why Li Huaide suddenly kicked you away?"

"What do you mean by this?" Xu Damao looked straight at Lou Xiao'e, breathing heavily and with a cold look in his eyes.

Lou Xiao'e did not tell Xu Damao, she just laughed, then stood up, picked up the handbag on the table, turned around and walked out.

"You stop!"

"You stop!"

Xu Damao couldn't contain himself anymore and started to run rampant, shouting at Lou Xiao'e hysterically.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Be honest!" The police officer next to him rushed forward immediately and pressed Xu Damao on the table.

"Lou Xiao'e, don't leave, please tell me clearly!"

Lou Xiao'e, who had already reached the door, stopped and turned to look at Xu Damao, who was pressed on the table, hysterical and like a furious beast. He shook his head and said with a look of disdain: "Thank you for bragging about fighting with Brother Zhu." After a lifetime, look at yourself, then look at others, character, virtue, achievements, family, how can you compare to Brother Zhu!"

"I was really blind to fall in love with a worthless villain like you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lou Xiaoe left the visiting room without looking back.

"Lou Xiao'e, stop!"

"Who do you think is inferior to Silly Zhu!"

"As for Silly Zhu's grandson, ten of him can't compare to one of my toes..."

The sound gradually faded away. Lou Xiao'e, who came outside, turned to look at the location of the visiting room. Listening to Xu Damao's increasingly inaudible voice, the depression in her heart was slightly relieved. She took a long breath and walked outside, looking up at the blue sky. The sky was washed away, and the corner of his mouth involuntarily raised a trace of curvature!

"Dad! Mom!"

"Xu Damao has received the retribution he deserves, and you can rest in peace even under Jiuquan!"

As she spoke, Lou Xiaoe closed her eyes, because her eyes were already moist.

Because the evidence was conclusive and the court was very fast, Xu Damao was quickly convicted. In addition to fifteen years in prison, Xu Damao also received a huge fine.

Xu Damao's mother fainted and went to the hospital. Xu Damao's father also looked ashen, as if he had lost his soul.

When Xu Damao's daughter-in-law heard the news, she took advantage of her father-in-law to take care of her mother-in-law in the hospital. When she got home, she quietly began to sell off her things. If the procedures for buying a house hadn't been too troublesome, she probably could have sold the house directly and paid all she could at noon the next day. After the item was sold, Xu Damao's wife took her luggage and ran away.

When Xu Damao's father couldn't find his daughter-in-law, he hurried back to the courtyard from the hospital. He saw that the house was empty and was in a mess. One of them almost fell down because he couldn't stand still. He Daqing was still not dealing with him. She helped him up by the side, otherwise, with his current posture, Xu Damao's father's physical condition would make him fall down.

"What a sin!" Xu Damao's father sat down on the ground, slapped his thighs, raised his head and cried loudly.

"What on earth have I done!"

"Old Xu, it's cold on the ground. Get up quickly, don't catch a cold!" Yi Zhonghai is a good old man in the courtyard. Seeing this situation, he hurriedly stepped forward to help. Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui, who were next to him, also hurriedly came to help.

He helped Xu Damao's father to sit down on the chair. Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui comforted Xu Damao's father with words.

"Although he has been sentenced to fifteen years, as long as Damao behaves well inside, he can still get a reduced sentence and be released early!"

"Fifteen years!" Xu Damao's father was crying and howling: "I am already in my sixties, how many more years can I live? Even if the sentence is really reduced, I may not be able to wait until he comes out!"

"I only have one son! His mother is still lying in the hospital. What will we do in the future?"

Although Xu Damao's father is as bastard as Xu Damao and has no moral bottom line, he still has deep feelings for his only son.

And as he said himself, now that Xu Damao's wife has also run away, they have to face not only the issue of their son's labor reform inside, but also the issue of providing for the old couple in their old age.

"Old Xu!"

Among all the people in the courtyard, the ones who can best understand Xu Damao's father's mood at this moment are Yi Zhonghai and He Daqing.

Yi Zhonghai had no children all his life and was a destitute. When He Daqing was in Baoding, Widow White's two sons ignored him. As an elderly man, he did not dare to return to Peking and could only live alone. Staying in Baoding, lonely and helpless, I also experienced how Xu Damao's father felt now.

It's just that He Daqing and Xu Damao's father have never dealt with each other. Of course, it was not her who called Lao Xu, but Yi Zhonghai. "Don't be too pessimistic. Things are already like this. The most important thing now is to take care of yourself and Damao."

"The days are going to go on!"

"What else have I ever done!" Lao Xu said with tears and snot in his head, "I might as well take his mother and go down together to see the King of Hell!"

Everyone looked at the howling old Xu Tou, but they were also helpless and didn't know how to persuade him.

Such a big thing happened to Xu Damao, and the police came to investigate frequently these days. Basically, the neighbors in the courtyard had written records with the police, although privately there were many who clapped and cheered, saying that a big deal had finally happened in the courtyard. It's a disaster, but at this moment, in front of Xu Damao's father, a group of neighbors just came to watch the fun, no one dared to ridicule him at this time, causing trouble for himself.

Most of the older people in the courtyard know that Xu Damao's father is more difficult to deal with than Xu Damao. If it weren't for He Daqing, who was even more difficult to deal with than Silly Zhu, who lived in the courtyard, Xu Damao's father and his mother would have been living in the courtyard. The old couple may not move out of the courtyard yet.

After seeing the excitement, everyone retreated. In the private room of the Peony Building, Wang Zhong and Sha Zhu were sitting. A copper stove was burning with charcoal fire. There were sliced ​​mutton rolls and a few vegetables beside them.

"Come on, let's go!" Silly Zhu's face was not very happy.

Wang Zhong raised his cup, touched it with Silly Zhu, raised his head and drank it.

"what!"

Shazhu pursed his lips and said: "Erguotou is still delicious, quite strong!"

Wang Zhong poured the wine and asked: "Brother Zhu, you and Xu Damao have been enemies for so many years. Now that he has entered, why are you not happy to see him?"

"Alas!" Silly Zhu sighed and said: "Xu Damao, my grandson, is full of bad ideas. He thinks about plotting this and that all day long. He doesn't do anything serious. He went in. Logically speaking, I should be happy. , but ever since I saw his father like that at his house yesterday, I felt a little uncomfortable!"

"Brother Zhu!" Wang Zhong said: "The old saying goes: Poor people must be hateful. It's not unreasonable. It's his fault that Damao is what he is today. , there would be no prison disaster like today."

"That's what he said, but after all, he is the only son of his father and mother. Now he has gone in, but his father and mother are already very old, and they don't know how many days they have left to live. His mother is still in the hospital. Lying inside, hey..."

Silly Zhu sighed, with a hint of sadness in his words.

Wang Zhong said: "Brother Zhu, I have to tell you a few words about Xu Damao's father and mother. That is something Xu Damao should consider. Why didn't he think about his father and mother before he did those things?"

"If you sow, you will get a cause, and if you sow, you will get results. If you do something, you should bear the corresponding consequences. Otherwise, how can you alert others."

Silly Zhu was smart when he heard this. He was not stupid and he immediately understood what Wang Zhong meant by what he said.

"Hey! In fact, that day when I saw Xu Damao's father crying like that, I was a little gloating at first, but as time went by, I..."

"Hey!" As he spoke, Shazhu sighed again.

Wang Zhong picked up the cup, moved a stool and sat next to Silly Zhu. He raised his hand and patted Silly Zhu on the shoulder and said: "Brother Zhu, it is a good thing to have a kind heart, but kindness must be used in the right place. Xu Damao's father is a retired old man." Workers, their monthly salary is still high. Besides, his old Xu family still owns several properties. Even if they sell the houses, the money will be enough for him and his boss to spend the rest of their lives. Well, if you are really kind-hearted, you might as well pity those children whose family conditions are poor and who can only fill their bellies, cannot afford new clothes, and cannot afford to go to school."

"They are the future of our country!"

"Isn't it all reform and opening up? Are there still children who can't afford new clothes or go to school?" Silly Zhu looked at Wang Zhong and asked.

Wang Zhongdao: "We are Beiping, the capital. Although we have reformed and opened up, only a few coastal cities in the south and a few inland cities including Beiping have become wealthy. Our country still has vast territory." As for the rural areas! People living there only rely on farming to make a living. Whether they can have enough to eat depends entirely on God’s face!”

"To tell you the truth, brother, I also came from the countryside. During the natural disaster three years ago, when the food was gone, everyone could only dig wild vegetables to eat. When the wild vegetables were gone, they boiled the leaves, peeled the bark, and even the bark of the leaves. After they had finished eating, they could only dig grass roots, and some were so hungry that they had to eat Guanyin soil to fill their stomachs, and there were countless people who were starved to death by the Guanyin soil."

"Although reform and opening up are now in place, only urban areas have become wealthy, and only the southern coastal cities. People living in the vast rural areas can only make ends meet."

"If you really have such a kind heart, let's go to those impoverished areas in the west one day and see with your own eyes how our compatriots living in those places live."

Silly Zhu didn't expect that Wang Zhong would suddenly say this. This was something he had never considered.

"Is their life really that difficult?" Silly Zhu asked uncertainly.

Wang Zhong said: "It just so happens that I have nothing to do recently. Let's take a trip another day. You will know if you see it with your own eyes."

Just in time for Wang Heng's May Day holiday, Wang Zhong asked Wang Xinyi to ask for leave, so he took his two daughters and Sha Zhu and Sha Zhu's three children and ran south to the southwest.

Parts of western Hunan, southern Sichuan, Guizhou and northern Yunnan are surrounded by high mountains and dangerous terrain, and transportation is naturally extremely inconvenient. Fortunately, there are trains.

Wang Zhong led everyone to Yunnan first, and then took the train all the way north. After traveling for more than half a month, he ended the trip.

When they set off back to Peiping, besides Wang Zhong, even the youngest Wang Heng looked deeply touched, let alone Sha Zhu and his three boys.

"Brother Zhu, how do you feel?" On the train, in the sleeper compartment, Wang Zhong asked Silly Zhu, who was sleeping opposite.

"It's too hard!" Shazhu pondered for a moment and then said: "Before this, I never thought that there could be such a difficult place."

This time Wang Zhong led Silly Zhu and the others to rural areas. Although the rural areas were not wealthy, the ethnic minorities living in the Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan areas were very hospitable and would entertain guests with all the good food and drinks they had at home.

Children as young as seven or eight years old have to follow the adults up the mountain to chop firewood, go to the fields to sow seeds, help herd cattle, learn how to set nets for fishing, look for wild fruits, dig for fungi, and other techniques to find food.

"We have only been to a few villages, and we don't know how many villages like this there are in the country!" Silly Zhu sighed with emotion, his eyes flashing with unbearability.

Even Wang Heng pulled Wang Zhong's clothes and said, "Dad, those younger brothers are so pitiful. They don't even have any decent clothes. Xiao Fu has never worn new clothes since he was a child, so he can only choose his older brother." Wear our old clothes.”

Wang Xinyi was sleeping on the upper bunk, looking at the receding scenery outside the window, and was very emotional: "The ancients said that reading thousands of books means traveling thousands of miles. Compared with them, our life is really comfortable."
