"Dad! Didn't my mother run away with another man? Why did you lie to me?" Sun Zhisen asked while crying.
The man with the sloping feet lowered his face in shame. His eyes could not see clearly. He had been living in regret all these years. "You kept asking your mother all those years, but I didn't know where to find your mother."
"So you lied to me? My mother got into trouble because of us, and you didn't even go to save her?" Sun Zhisen couldn't understand. In his impression, his parents had always had a good relationship. Why could he be so cruel?
"At first I didn't know what they were going to do." The lame man wiped his tears. "At first they said they would be gone for a year or so, but after a year there was no news from your mother. I didn't know where to find her. Your mother asked me to raise you and find you a wife."
"Then you can sell your own wife?" Sun Zhisen couldn't understand.
"I'm almost starving to death, what do you want me to do?" The lame man said weakly. Isn't it for the sake of living?
"I would rather die than let anything happen to my mother." Sun Zhisen slapped himself hard.
"Silly child." Zhisen's mother hurriedly stopped him from committing suicide and said, "As long as you live well, it doesn't matter what happens to me. Your father is not wrong either. Is he really going to let our whole family starve to death at home?"
Sun Zhisen stared at her with tears in his eyes, crying: "If I could run faster at that time, if I caught up with you, you would not leave."
There are not so many ifs in the world.
Zhisen's mother wiped away his tears and smiled with relief: "Fortunately, I can still see you again."
"It's time." Su Xiaoluo said softly.
Zhisen's mother began to lie, and Sun Zhisen knelt on her and kowtowed vigorously: "Mom, I will still be your son in the next life and be filial to you."
"Zhisen's mother, let me work like a slave for the rest of my life to repay your kindness." Zhisen's father burst into tears.
Zhisen's mother waved at them and disappeared into the air.
Tang Xiao used his fist to hit him hard. What was going on? This was a disaster.
"These criminals deserve to die!"
Fu Yuting reached out and pulled him up, saying, "Isn't it better now than before? It will be even better in the future!"
Tang Xiaoxiao took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to him: "Here is a dollar as a token of my appreciation. Your mother's body is still at the Weicheng Police Station. If you want to claim it, go there. If not, I will take care of the funeral for you."
"No, I don't need money." Sun Zhisen shook his head and said, "My mother suffered because of me. Now she is dead. Do I still want to use her life to gain money? My mother once said that a poor man can have a rich ambition. I can't let her down."
"Take it!" Tang Xiao said. "If you have any trouble in the future, come to Acropolis to find me."
Tang Xiaoxiao also put the money on the table. This family was too poor, and said, "Just think of it as me lending it to you. Return it to me when you have money."
Sun Zhisen knelt on the bed and cried bitterly, his sobs lasting a long time.
After they got in the car, Su Xiaoluo suddenly asked, "Fu Yuting, do you have any regrets?"
Fu Yuting pursed his lips, and a scene many years ago appeared before his eyes. He was holding a candied haws in his hand, and a man was walking towards him with a sack on his back. He looked at him for a while, but then walked away.
He gripped the steering wheel with both hands and said calmly, "There is one thing."
Tang Xiaoxiao sighed and said, "I regret so many things. Little girl, if you have any regret medicine, just give me one. I'll give you any money you want."
"Dabai, you must be dreaming." Su Xiaoluo curled her lips, "But you have a wound on your mouth, do you want to apply medicine?"
"No." Tang Xiao's face was bruised and swollen. The driver saw this and probably asked him to write a self-criticism. He looked at Fu Yuting complainingly and asked, "Why didn't you hold me back just now?"
"You're not happy, how can you not fight?" Fu Yuting glanced at him and said, "Sit still."
"Five yuan." Su Xiaoluo handed the porcelain bottle over.
"Little money-grubber, we have such a good relationship, why don't you give me a discount?" Tang Xiaoxiao felt that she had been cheated out of something.
"Okay, okay, from now on you can get 20% off on things you buy from me." Su Xiaoluo said generously.
"Why doesn't Fu Yuting have money?" Tang Xiaoyu knew that the medicine was effective, so he took it and applied it on his face. How could he get married in the future if he had a scar on his face?
"He..." Su Xiaoluo didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I've been providing her with sweets for her entire life." said Fu Yuting.
"Oh my god, a lifetime?" Tang Xiaoluo glanced at Su Xiaoluo. This was really a huge investment.
Su Xiaoluo smiled and said, "I don't eat much."
Tang Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly: "If I hadn't seen your appetite, I would have almost believed it."
Su Xiaoluo snorted and said, "Okay, okay, you guys are all trying to say that I have a big appetite."
Tang Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "How dare you! No, Ting?"
Just kidding, you can't offend anyone but Su Xiaoluo! Otherwise, you won't know how you died.
Fu Yuting raised his lips slightly and said, "Don't worry, I have enough money and can afford it."
"What?" Su Xiaoluo pouted, "Aren't you still saying that I have a big appetite?"
Fu Yuting saw her puffy face from the rearview mirror, and his voice became even softer: "I didn't."
"You are not good people." Su Xiaoluo leaned his head against the car window and muttered, "You haven't seen a bigger appetite before. The wolf beast has a much bigger appetite than me."
The wolf beast smiled coquettishly and said, "Of course not, girl, kill a pig for me to eat, and I will definitely finish it!"
Su Xiaoluo: “???”
Is this taking advantage of someone's misfortune?
Go one step further and you will have everything in your dream.
——
Originally, Fu Yuting invited Tang Xiaoyu to go to the driver Zhang Guobang's house, but Tang Xiaoyu escaped with a wound on his face.
Fu Yuting took Su Xiaoluo to the grocery store to select home gifts.
"Is your master's wife very nice to you?" Su Xiaoluo felt that he had a clear disapproval in his attitude towards Zhang Guobang's family.
"Very good." Fu Yuting has not received the love and care of Zheng Baozhen since he was very young. He said, "It turns out that my winter clothes and shoes are prepared by my master's wife. Even now, she will prepare some for me from time to time."
Su Xiaoluo nodded thoughtfully. She was not a mother but more like one. She said, "Since she has done such a great favor to you, please pick out some valuable things for her!"
Su Xiaoluo hadn't said anything else. Judging from Zhang Guobang's appearance, his wife might leave earlier.
Let’s wait until we see the person and take a closer look!
"You choose." Fu Yuting was not good at these things.
"I choose?" Su Xiaoluo was dumbfounded as she looked at the dazzling array of things. When she gave something to someone, she could just throw a talisman over. How could she choose from these things?
Canned?
Tea?
The two of them stared at each other.
The salesperson looked at them with a smile and asked, "What are you choosing and what are you going to use it for?"
