Chen Daming was a little bit unbelievable when he heard his godfather suddenly say this.
"Father, could this be a mistake? Whose child would really harm his own parents and brothers?"
Captain Huang listened and said with a smile, "Gu Decong's eldest brother was already a gambler in the past. Later, there were several disturbances in their family."
"Gu Decong's father is a soft-hearted man. He always said that he wanted to sever the father-son relationship. But he was just yelling. He didn't really want to sever the father-son relationship. So, over the years, all the money their family earned was used to pay off their eldest son's debts." "
Now his brother still has ten taels of silver left, which already makes me feel extremely surprised...."
"I'm just a constable. I can't do anything about this matter of cannibalizing dead people, and I can't intercede. Because Gu Decong's elder brother will definitely be sentenced to exile. Even if he's not exiled, he won't have a good life in the future."
"Including his family..."
Chen Daming turned his eyes away when he heard this. "Father, what do you think will happen to this big family in the future?" After hearing this
, Constable Huang shook his head, and then said softly, "Of course,... go back to where you came from!"
"They can't stay in this county. Including those people in the Gu family, I don't think they can do odd jobs at the docks in our county in the future..."
When Chen Daming heard this, he immediately thought of the person who was poisoned to death.
"Father, does the person who was poisoned have any connection?"
Captain Huang nodded and said, "Isn't there some connection?"
"His eldest brother-in-law's second sister married Mr. Zhao Sanye from the East Gate Wharf of our county!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Daming couldn't help but sigh.
This feud will never be resolved.
Thinking that he had made a wasted trip today, Chen Daming said hello to Captain Huang, packed up his things, and prepared to go home.
Seeing Chen Daming's depressed look, Captain Huang quickly stood up and held him.
"Daming, I just told you to go home with me later. Let's sit down and have a good meal, talk and chat. I have something here and I want you to do it!"
"..."
After hearing this, Chen Daming suddenly realized, "Fuck you, if you didn't remind me, I would have really forgotten it!"
"Look at my memory, it's really too bad..."
Seeing Chen Daming's tired face, Captain Huang stuffed all the ten taels of silver on the table into his palm.
"Daming, I will take care of the matter you just told me. You should keep the money and don't give it back to the Gu family."
"That family is not easy to deal with. You should pay more attention to them in the future. Especially since they have all returned to your hometown. When they ask you for help, you must not foolishly agree to it like you did this time."
Hearing this, Chen Daming nodded and thanked him several times.
Then, he sat down obediently.
...
Captain Huang is not an ordinary person.
He has been a yamen runner for decades and got a lot of money from others.
Now he lives in a big house with green bricks and big tiles. In the county town where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, his house is still a big courtyard with a wall.
Although it is only one entrance.
But such a good house in the county town can be sold for fifty or sixty taels of silver.
The main house of Captain Huang's house has three rooms. One east wing and one west wing.
Behind the main house, there is a set of four rooms.
Although Captain Huang is just a small yamen runner, his family also has a doorman to watch the door, a washerwoman to wash clothes, and a cook to cook. There is also a big and strong girl who serves Captain Huang's mother.
Captain Huang has only one son and one grandson. But this father and son are at home reading books all day long. They have never done anything and never go out to make money.
When the father and son saw Chen Daming coming today, they both walked out slowly and greeted Chen Daming.
After Chen Daming had a sumptuous banquet at Captain Huang's house, he stayed at their house that night and spent the whole night.
The next morning after breakfast, Captain Huang asked him to take his son and personally sent him out.
After sending Chen Daming away, Captain Huang, who was still drunk last night, couldn't help but glance at his son.
To be honest, he didn't like his own son very much. He
didn't care whether he liked him or not, but every time he saw him limping, he couldn't help but feel distressed.
This child has had bad legs and feet since he was born. Especially the right foot, which was born with a disability and couldn't be straightened.
If it weren't for his bad foot, he wouldn't have thought of recognizing Chen Daming as his godson.
"Cong'er, look at me, I'm already this old. I don't know how many more years I can live..."
As soon as Captain Huang said this, his son's eyes became red and he almost cried.
"Dad, it's all my fault, I'm unfilial..."
Captain Huang saw that he was pitiful, waved his hand, and said coldly, "It's not your fault! Don't cry like a woman."
"I brought your brother Chen back yesterday, and I also wanted you to talk more with your brother and get along more. But you, yesterday and this morning, were like a gourd with a sawed mouth. Why don't you say more nice words?"
Huang Cong listened, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He has always been a bad talker.
In recent years, he doesn't like to go out. He doesn't like to socialize with those people.
Whenever he thinks about those people looking at his legs when he is talking with them, he feels very uncomfortable.
Sometimes, he even wants to hide in his room and cry.
Thinking of this, Huang Cong's tears, which had been held back for a long time, dripped onto the ground.
Seeing his son crying again, Captain Huang felt sore and painful.
He couldn't bear it anymore, so he quickly turned his head away, holding back the tears in his eyes, and then he strode over. He hugged Huang Cong's shoulders and told him to stay close to him like they did when they were children, and then Captain Huang told him everything he was thinking.
"Cong'er, as the saying goes, things change over time. Our family seems to be fine. But if something happens to me in the future, you and your son will become lambs to be slaughtered."
