When He Aiguo returned to the water village, he went straight to the old Gu family to find Old Mrs. He.
Just as Old Mrs. He was about to go to the fields to work, she saw He Aiguo kneeling down in front of her.
"Mom, you must save me, please."
He Aiguo held Old Lady He's hand tightly, fearing that his life-saving straw would fly away if he let go.
At some point the wound on the little finger reopened, and bright red blood splattered on the back of Old Mrs. He's hand.
Looking at her second son's missing little finger, what else did she not understand?
"You're addicted to gambling."
When Old Mrs. He asked this question, her tone was almost affirmative.
"Mom, I really know I was wrong. As long as you pay me back, I will never gamble again."
He Aiguo said this from the bottom of his heart.
No one knows how he spent his time in the basement.
He couldn't eat. Whenever his stomach growled, the people would use a funnel to stuff all kinds of insects into his mouth until he burped.
He couldn't sleep. If he dozed off, they would pour ice water on him, brand him with a branding iron, and tickle him.
There were even some subordinates with unconventional interests who attacked him in various ways.
"Why did you get involved with that stuff? You want me, your mother, to die with regret, right? Why did I give birth to a thing like you? If I had known you would be born, I would have drowned you in the piss bucket and wouldn't have to worry about you at my age."
Old Mrs. He was crying so hard that she was out of breath.
Old Mrs. He's father died from gambling, leaving her mother and seven or eight children to survive in this world.
In the end, only Old Mrs. He and her youngest sister survived.
Her mother always felt that it was the two girls who took away her sons' luck and allowed them to survive, and she often beat and kicked Old Lady He and her sister.
It was not until she remarried and gave birth to two sons that Mrs. He's treatment improved slightly.
She often wondered if her grandmother could help her father pay off his gambling debts, her father would not have died.
If her brothers and sisters had survived, she wouldn't have had such a miserable life.
"Mom, I was really wrong. I will definitely work hard in the future to support my family and children. I was wrong."
He Aiguo kowtowed one after another as if he was unaware of the pain.
"For the sake of our last bit of mother-son affection, I will help you one last time. If you dare to do it again, I will personally send you off." Old Mrs. He said this with gritted teeth.
After all, He Aiguo was a piece of flesh that fell from her body. She couldn't just ignore him, and she couldn't bear to see his hand being chopped off.
"How much money is owed?"
"Five hundred, that's five hundred."
"He Aiguo, do you know what 500 yuan means? It's enough for you to raise ten He Mins."
He Aiguo lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. He just kept crying.
Old Mrs. He couldn't bear to see him look so hopeless, so she turned around and walked into the house.
I saw Old Mrs. He pry open a brick under the bed, take out a small box from it, pull out five Big Unity notes, and put the rest back intact.
The money was dug up when the foundation of the house was being excavated. She hid it herself and didn't tell anyone.
I was afraid that one day I would die and not even be able to afford a thin coffin, but who knew I would have to use it now.
He Aiguo took the money and didn't dare to stay for a second, and went straight to the underground casino.
When Brother Hu saw that He Aiguo had collected 500 yuan in just half a day, he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
"I've received the money. According to the rules, you can leave."
After He Aiguo walked out of the casino, the men behind Brother Hu made a gesture of wiping their necks.
Brother Hu waved his hands and said, "No, the master said that I have a calamity recently, and it is best to do some good deeds to resolve it, so I will spare his life, as a way to accumulate merit for myself.
But I think to be able to collect 500 yuan in such a short time, there must be something fishy going on. I wonder if searching with the h chapter will yield any surprises!
The subordinate understood immediately, made a gesture and disappeared from the casino.
In the evening, a group of people wearing h badges broke into Lao Gu's house.
"What are you doing? This is my home. Who told you to come in? You are committing a crime! Come and see, someone is robbing my house."
It was time to get off work, and when Old Mrs. He howled, many villagers rushed in.
They all came with hoes and rakes and were ready to fight.
"What are you doing? Didn't you see what I'm wearing on my arm? Someone reported you for reselling things, and we're going to search it now."
"Oh my god, I'm an old woman who goes to work every day and never leaves the village. How could I do that kind of thing?" Old Mrs. He cried and slapped her thighs.
How could Dai H Zhang not know about this? But Brother Hu said that the money came from the old Gu family, so naturally they had to come here to search.
When the villagers saw that it was the man wearing the h-seal, they silently put down their hoes.
Soon, the house was searched and turned into a mess.
The only clay pot was also smashed, so there was no chance to even cook wild vegetables.
Old Mrs. He sat on the ground and cried bitterly.
"Why is my life so miserable? I've given birth to so many children but none of them are reliable. I have to work in the fields to earn food when I'm old. Now I've been reported by someone with pink eye. I might as well die."
Old Master He looked as pale as death. He didn't know how his family got into trouble.
When He Aiguo saw the man wearing the h badge coming, he hid at the foot of the wall and only dared to come out to breathe after the man left.
I suddenly met Mrs. He's eyes and felt guilty.
"He Aiguo, tell me the truth. Besides your gambling debts, have you gotten into trouble with anyone else?"
