Chapter 112 Poor people must be hateful
"You useless thing, your father was wrong, and your uncle Fugui also let you off the hook. Why are you so foolish? I will beat you to death, you useless thing, and I will never let you hurt others again."
Gao Shan said harsh words, but tears kept flowing out of his eyes. This scene made the originally noisy ancestral hall quiet in an instant.
Jiang Youzhen looked at Gao Shan's waving arms. He did not show mercy, but avoided the vital points.
In fact, it is human nature. She still hopes that the Jiang family will let her son go. But what about her? Is her life not her life?
Seeing this, the clan leader hurriedly called for someone to stop them. If a fight really breaks out, the Jiang family will be at a loss even if they are right. Their people who use the board have experience and know how to make you feel pain without breaking bones, but Gao Shan doesn't know that!
"Gao Shan! Stop it! How dare you act so presumptuously in our Jiang Family Ancestral Hall?"
The chief pointed to two young and strong tribesmen to come forward and hold up Gao Shan. Everyone then noticed that Gao Shuisheng was covered in blood, his face was extremely pale, and he looked seriously injured.
"He wouldn't be beaten to death?" someone asked suspiciously.
At this time, the tribesman stepped forward and sniffed, "Alive."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Jiang Youzhen and Gao Shan. Jiang Youzhen was not soft-hearted, but he really beat someone to death. Even if it was Gao Shan who beat him, it would be hard to explain if he turned the tables and said that his family forced him to do so, after all, this was the Jiang family ancestral hall.
Gao Shuisheng slowly opened his eyes and said weakly: "Dad! Just beat me to death!"
At this moment, Jiang Youzhen really admired this boy. He was really tough! He did it.
"You! Why are you so stupid? It's not that much hatred! You've pushed yourself into a dead end!"
Gao Shan burst into tears. Didn't he feel sorry for his son? He wanted to take his own life, but would the Jiang family be able to calm down? Only if he was still alive would the Jiang family let his son go.
“But our family was pushed to the brink of despair. If we hadn’t been forced to sell the land, we wouldn’t have been so destitute.
Dad, you went out to work, but everyone said you were a thief and you couldn't find any work. There was no food at home, but grandma still had to take the white flour cakes that she herself was reluctant to eat to please the Jiang family. Our family was starving and had to eat wild vegetable soup to fill their stomachs. I couldn't swallow this breath. "
Gao Shuisheng roared with all his strength, and his few short words expressed all his sadness.
"Yesterday you were discussing selling my sister, and mother said that if it really didn't work out, the whole family would be in trouble. In that case, it's worth it for me to take someone with me before I die."
When everyone heard this, they suddenly didn't know what to say for a moment. Should they say that Gao Shuisheng was really hateful, but also a little pitiful?
Seeing that many people were moved with sympathy, Jiang Youzhen suddenly thought of the saying: There must be something hateful about every pitiful person!
"But is your family's current situation caused by us? If you say so, does that mean my family is the culprit? If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price.
If your father hadn't had those little thoughts in mind and just went to my father for help, would things have turned out like this? What kind of person is my father? If he had the heart, he would definitely help. You can only blame your father for being greedy."
Jiang Youzhen snorted coldly. This guy was blaming his family.
"Gambling harms people. If your father gets involved in gambling, you should be prepared that your family will be ruined. He was born as a human being, but his morals are corrupt and he has no sense of shame. He is a father, but he is not upright and has misled his children. He is a son, but his mother is ashamed because of him. This is unfilial. He is my father's best friend, but he plots behind his back and harbors evil intentions. This is unrighteous."
Jiang Youzhen pointed at Gao Shan, and every word he spoke was like a sledgehammer hitting Gao Shan's heart, and also hitting everyone's heart.
"Propriety, righteousness, integrity, filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty and trustworthiness! Which one of them does he have?" Jiang Youzhen's eyes were like sharp arrows, which made Gao Shan tremble all over. He felt that his little thoughts were exposed in front of her.
"Good! Erlang is right, well said!" The clan leader Lao Huai looked at Jiang Youzhen with satisfaction. At this moment, the small figure standing in the center of the large ancestral hall seemed so small, yet so majestic.
At this moment, in his eyes, Jiang Youzhen seemed to be wearing an official robe, surrounded by official authority, and his domineering aura was fully revealed.
No way! After the Chinese New Year, I must send Jiang Youzhen to a private school. With such intelligence, he will surely be able to pass the imperial examination and become an official in the future. It is not impossible for him to be made a marquis or a prime minister!
Their Jiang family is about to have the honor of changing their status. Tomorrow he will go to the ancestor's grave to burn incense and see if there is any smoke coming out.
These words were so deafening that everyone was speechless. It took them a long time to come back to their senses.
Aunt Ya outside the ancestral hall, "What do you mean? I don't understand!"
Everyone: ...I really didn’t understand it, but it sounded very impressive.
Ahem! Jiang Youzhen was very satisfied with the result. As long as he stood on the moral high ground, he would be invincible. Now, who dared to say that Gao Shan was pitiful?
"That's right! All of this is Gao Shan's own fault. Erlang almost lost his life. We in the Jiang family are not pushovers. We can't just let this go." The Jiang family members didn't know if they were provoked by Jiang Youzhen, but at this moment, they were more indignant than before.
"It's true that I taught him. I'm his father, so I took the blame for him. I beg you to give him a chance to reform. You can decide whether to hand me over to the government or beat me to death. I have no complaints."
Gao Shan knelt down towards Jiang Fugui as he spoke. He knew that Jiang Fugui was soft-hearted and this was the last chance to save his son.
Even though Shuisheng is young, I heard that when he turns eight, even if he is not beheaded, he will suffer a lot.
He was so young that he couldn't even withstand a few blows, not to mention the possibility of exile and death on the way.
"Dad! Let them beat me to death!" Shui Sheng struggled to get up and said sobbingly.
Suddenly, a thin figure rushed in and said, "I am willing to take the punishment for my brother. I will take it if you hit me or scold me. I will also take it if you want to send me to the government. I beg you to let my father and my brother go."
It was Guozi, and she rushed into the ancestral hall.
"Quick! Pull the girl out. The ancestral hall does not allow a girl from another family to come in." The clan leader scolded hurriedly. It was already a special favor to let Shen in.
The three of them burst into tears immediately. Jiang Youzhen was just about to find someone to run errands to the county government to ask for an official when suddenly a pale but powerful voice sounded outside the ancestral hall.
"No need to go through so much trouble, just give our Gao family's life to the Jiang family."
The old lady standing at the door, supported by Gao Shan's wife, was trembling. She took out a few pieces of paper and waved them at the people inside.
Jiang Youzhen frowned. This old lady was really cunning.
"What does sister-in-law mean?" The clan leader was a little confused.
"Except for me and my daughter-in-law, the indentures of the three of us are all here. It was originally a life for a life, Shuisheng gave his life to the Jiang family, and the Jiang family can do whatever they want with it. But this still cannot quell the Jiang family's anger, so let's sacrifice Guozi and Gaoshan."
