The netizens listened attentively, and the boy did not keep anyone in suspense and continued.
At that time, he lent a pretty good set of clothes to my grandfather, and our whole family was very grateful to him for that.
Unexpectedly, when someone came from the school, this neighbor suddenly stood up and pointed at my grandfather and said that my grandfather had stolen his clothes.
He also said that there were dozens of dollars in the secret pocket of the clothes.
The boy looked at everyone with tears in his eyes: "A few dozen yuan, in that era, this amount of money was really a lot."
"He said there were dozens of dollars in the secret pocket of his clothes, but my uncle and the others checked it right there and they found that there was a secret pocket, but there was no money in it!"
"But that person insisted that there was money inside the clothes, saying that my grandfather had stolen both the clothes and the money. He even tied my grandfather to a telephone pole and wanted to punish him."
"No matter how my family explained or how we communicated with this person, he kept telling the school and the villagers the same story."
"What's even more ridiculous, do you know what it is?"
Just hearing this, many people felt their blood pressure rise a lot. They didn't expect that the boy's words would make their hearts even more tense.
The boy wiped the tears from his face and choked up, "I won't talk about the people from the school. After all, they are not from our village and don't know what my family is like."
"But there are so many people in our village, many of whom are very close to my family. When my grandfather asked them to help prove that this matter was not true and asked them to help explain it to the school, they all kept silent."
"Even the village chief, who had always been very kind to everyone, fell silent at that moment."
"I can't imagine what those people looked like at that time, but in my grandfather's eyes, they must have looked strange and hateful."
"It was also because of this neighbor's words that my grandfather's university admission was revoked by the school on the spot, and the school staff turned around and left."
"Some people at the time said they wanted to send my grandfather to the police station and have him shot, but the neighbor stopped them, saying that we are neighbors and should be considerate of each other. He would not hold my grandfather responsible."
"The villagers praised him for what he did and told us to be grateful for the mercy he showed us and for sparing our grandfather's life."
The boy stopped, his chest heaving, and it was obvious that he was very angry.
Before Jiang Tang could say anything, netizens started scolding him.
[Your grandfather is the only one in your group who got into university. He's really envied.]
[This is so despicable! This not only ruined your grandfather, but also your entire family.]
There are many evil people in this world who cannot see the good in others. Don't the villagers in your village know the truth? They definitely know, but in order to prevent your grandfather from studying and from achieving success, they speak against their conscience.
[Not to mention strangers and neighbors, many times, even your own family members don't necessarily want you to be better than them.]
[The college students of that era were very talented. It's such a pity for your grandfather.]
[Has your entire family not caused any trouble for that family over the years? Go get them!]
The boy opened his mouth and said, "Of course I wouldn't look for her. My great-grandfather was nearly pissed off to death because of this incident. Not to mention my grandfather. It was such a huge blow that he locked himself in his room for six months and refused to come out to see anyone."
"If he hadn't figured it out himself, I'm afraid my grandfather would have passed away at that time."
"But after this incident, the accusation of being a thief has always been with my grandfather. This has also led to no one wanting him no matter what job he looks for."
"Can you believe that a well-mannered young man wearing glasses would work as a briquettes hauler just to make a living, something many people are unwilling to do?"
"He pulled coal briquettes in town for over a decade, barely making a living. But then he got older and the work was too tiring, so he gave up and found a job burning coal in a bathhouse."
"My grandfather and his family contacted that neighbor many times, but he simply ignored them. When he got angry, he threatened to send my grandfather to the police station and have him shot."
"No one in the village spoke up for us. We were like an island on the sea, with no one to turn to and no way out."
"As soon as we make a move, everyone thinks we're going to bring trouble to the village and bring discredit upon it. There's really no way we can do anything about it."
"My grandfather persuaded the whole family to forget about this matter so that they could live a good life and stop worrying about him."
"Although I am young, I know that this incident is like a thorn in the hearts of everyone in my big family."
"It's not that everyone has forgotten about this matter, they just don't want to bring it up again and make my grandfather sad."
"Not only did my grandfather never ask for help from his brothers, he also often bought delicious food and fun things for us younger generations. We really like him."
"So I kept it a secret from my family, hoping to see if you, Master Jiang, could help clear my grandfather of this false accusation and restore his innocence."
After saying that, the boy looked at Jiang Tang eagerly.
"Can you take us to see your grandfather?" Jiang Tang asked the boy.
The boy nodded frantically: "Of course, it takes about half an hour to get to the bathhouse where my grandfather is. Master Jiang and everyone wait for me."
Seeing that Jiang Tang and netizens agreed, the boy grabbed his phone and rushed out.
The boy was very excited as they got in a taxi and set off in one go.
In his heart, his grandfather is a treasure old man. When Master Jiang and netizens see him, they will definitely like his grandfather as much as he does.
In the town near the boy’s home, in a spacious room, a large stove was burning, and the flames looked scary.
A slightly hunched figure was holding a large shovel and constantly putting coal in.
This is the peak time for people to take a bath, so he needs to keep adding coal to ensure that everyone's bath water is always hot.
The flames illuminated his entire body. His face was covered in sweat, and his black and white hair was wet into a ball.
After adding another large shovel of coal, the old man finally put down the shovel, walked to the door and wiped the sweat off his face.
Looking at the dazzling sunlight, the old man picked up the clean and old-fashioned ceramic jar and took a big sip of water.
"call."
Letting out a long breath, the old man leaned against the door frame, enjoying a moment of peace.
Just as he turned around and was about to continue working, he suddenly saw a familiar figure running towards him from a distance.
In the blink of an eye, the man appeared before him.
"Grandpa, I'm here to see you!"
Looking at the child with bright eyes looking at him, the old man grinned happily.
