Chapter 8 Farce
"Luo Youcai, did you really win 20,000 yuan in the lottery?!" someone asked with an envious look.
As for jealousy, it will naturally not be shown openly.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have the money to buy a big color TV. Look at my son's toy guns, they're all new models bought in the city. I'm so old. You always said that I was daydreaming and bought lottery tickets to get rich, and now I'm rich. It's a pity that I was only three numbers away from the first prize, otherwise I would have won two hundred thousand!" Luo Youcai looked heartbroken, wishing he could turn back time so that he could go back to the days of buying lottery tickets and choosing numbers.
"Wow! Two hundred thousand?"
"Two hundred thousand just from these few numbers? Oh my god!"
"You are talented. Tell us how to buy lottery tickets and what the process is."
A group of people surrounded Luo Youcai, hoping that they could become rich like him by buying a lottery ticket.
Luo Dawang took the toy gun his father bought for him from the city, filled a bottle with bullets, and led a group of people to the woods to shoot birds.
Luo Xiao was unaware of the hustle and bustle in the village as he hadn't gotten up yet. Yesterday he had turned over the vegetable garden in the yard and planted seasonal vegetables, as well as onions and garlic.
The result was that I was so tired that I didn’t get up this morning.
Although I felt much better after drinking the well water in the space, it is still very comfortable to sleep until I wake up naturally.
Anyway, there was nothing else to do, so he felt good after relaxing his tense mood. He slept until ten o'clock in the morning before waking up.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face in the yard, Luo Xiao cooked himself a bowl of noodles and two poached eggs. He cooked them directly in the space. He was too lazy to light a fire outside as it was too hot and it would be easy to sweat from the smoke from the stove.
The temperature in the space is just right, perfect for making noodles.
After carrying the noodles out of the space, Luo Xiao was already hungry and blew hot air while putting the noodles into his mouth. After eating the noodles and drinking the soup, he burped.
After taking a look at the calendar, Luo Xiao put the dishes into the kitchen and planned to come back to wash them. Now, he needed to go out to see a play.
That’s right, today was the day he became a one-eyed man in his previous life. It was impossible for him to become like that in this life, but he wanted to go and take a look, and pick some sweet potato vines to plant in the yard.
Sweet potatoes are easy to care for. Both the leaves and stems can be used as vegetables. They are also easy to harvest and do not require much care.
Logically speaking, he should also go and take a look at the sweet potatoes on the one-mu piece of land. That was the land that his grandfather had reclaimed in a corner and planted sweet potatoes there. Unfortunately, the land was not fertile, and the harvest of sweet potatoes from the one-mu piece of land was not much. But although there were not many, it was enough to fill his stomach in his previous life.
Luo Xiao deliberately wore a long-sleeved shirt that was a little bleached from washing, and went out carrying a backpack and a sickle.
Setting foot on the road leading to the village, looking at that strange yet familiar place, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.
Their family built a separate house far away from the center of the village. Usually, villagers rarely passed by their place because they were not working in the same direction. So Luo Xiao also walked in the direction of the village.
As for why their family settled here, grandpa explained that there used to be several families living here, but later they felt it was not lively enough, so they all moved back to the center of the village to build houses. Their family was the only one left, which did not build a new house or change its location.
Before he even got close to the center of the village, Luo Xiao heard the sound of quarreling.
The villagers gathered in three layers around the people who were arguing.
Luo Xiao was short and couldn't see, but he could hear the noise.
"Luo Youcai! Your son blinded my son's eyes, pay me compensation!" Luo Ping pointed at Luo Youcai's nose.
"Bah! You're trying to blackmail me because I won the lottery! It's just a toy gun, it can even blind your eyes. This is not the way you want money!" Luo Youcai denied it.
The two quarreled so fiercely that neither of them bothered to send the person to the hospital.
Through the gaps in the crowd, Luo Xiao clearly saw the person covering his right eye.
That was Luo Hongfei, who was Luo Dawang's best friend in his previous life and also the person who helped him to make false testimony after he was blinded in his previous life. The two of them colluded with each other and deceived a group of little friends who were like his younger brothers to speak with one voice.
Luo Xiao wanted to ask Luo Dawang's family to pay compensation, but there was nothing he could do. The children in the village all changed their words and said that it was not true. He wanted to call the police, but no one in the village wanted to cause trouble. After all, he was an orphan, so why should he offend Luo Youcai who had just made a fortune? They were still thinking of learning from him how to buy lottery tickets and get rich overnight.
So, the matter was left unresolved, and Luo Xiao eventually became blind due to retinal detachment.
He wanted to contact his parents, but they ignored him and didn't want to support him. Because of this incident, he was even more ostracized in the village.
Because he lost an eye, he did not go to high school. Later, his house was demolished and he was kicked out. The father said that he could support himself and should not rely on his parents for support. His good father took the demolition money and left with a clear conscience.
He was not yet 18 years old, so it was difficult for him to find a job, and he was blind, so no one wanted him. So, when he was driven away, he was already 18 years old, but he had no savings at all, so he left home in a very embarrassed manner.
Luo Xiao recalled the miserable times in the first few years. His heart, which had been somewhat reluctant, hardened again.
It has nothing to do with him in this life. He is still fine. Let them taste the bitter fruit themselves.
Luo Hongfei's family has only one precious child, he has five older sisters to have him. Now that this precious child has gotten into trouble, Luo Dawang will definitely be in trouble, after all, not everyone is an orphan like him.
After seeing the farce he wanted to see, Luo Xiao left the crowd with his backpack on his back and walked in the opposite direction to his destination.
Walking on the small path in the woods, I felt the air was particularly fresh.
