Mrs. Fang entered the main room with an oil lamp. Under the two oil lamps, she felt that the room was a little brighter.
Gu Chengli and the others threw the thief to the ground. Father Gu looked at the man covered in black cloth and felt that he looked familiar. Thinking about the man's shout just now, he felt more and more that this was someone he knew.
There was a thief at home in the middle of the night, and no one was that patient. Gu Chengyi stepped forward and pulled off the black cloth on the man's face. Seeing that his face was no longer covered, the little thief immediately lowered his head in panic.
.
But the moment the little thief lowered his head was enough for everyone to see clearly who he was.
Dad Gu exclaimed in surprise: "Who is it you?"
Gu Chengyi was the closest person, so of course he could see clearly who this person was.
"Paralyzed Yu! Is that you?" Gu Chengyi was shocked when he saw his true face.
When Yu Pengzi saw that everyone had seen his face, he stopped hiding.
Paralyzed Yu raised his face, and Gu Chengyu saw a large, eye-catching mole at the corner of Paralyzed Yu's mouth. He twitched the corner of his mouth. It was such an obvious sign that it was hard not to recognize it!
It turns out that Paralytic Yu lives in the west end of Shangling Village, and there is only a blind old woman and a girl in his family. Paralytic Yu is already in his twenties and has no wife. First, he has a big pimple on his face.
, it really doesn’t please the girl’s family. Secondly, the Yu family is poor and cannot afford a decent betrothal gift.
My mother-in-law was once pulling thatch on the mountain to use as firewood. When she was returning, she tripped over a tree root and rolled down the mountain. When she rolled down, she was hit by a tree stump.
The eye was bleeding a lot at that time. With this poke, the eye would definitely be invisible.
Paralyzed Yu's father died early, and the family only had three acres of land. Paralyzed Yu refused to work hard, and his mother couldn't see, and my sister was still a child at that time. Every year, the fields became more deserted, and the fields were not taken care of properly. Of course,
Not much food will grow, and after paying the taxes, there won't be much left.
The people in the village named Yu Pangzi because he was lazy. In the first few years, he lay down all day and did not care about anything at home, leaving a teenage girl busy. He was worse than the big lazy man in the village.
Now, things have gotten better in the past two years, and it is said that he is quite filial to my mother. Gu Chengyu guessed that this must be another story of the prodigal son turning back. But now, I don’t know how this blind man did such a thing again? Gu Chengyu
I guess he must have been driven into a hurry by the corvee. After all, he left and only my mother and sister were left at home. How should I live this day?
"Hey! Are you really a paralyzed person? You dare to come to my house to steal money. You still dare to come to my house to steal money? This is in the middle of the night, and you still let our family keep quiet. Huh! Old man, such a thief will be sent to England.
Officer." Ms. Lu was disturbed by her sweet dream in the middle of the night, so of course she was upset. What's more, Yu was here to steal money, so she certainly couldn't say anything nice about it. The money at home was her lifeblood!
"Uncle, auntie? Even if I get caught, I will admit it. I just beg you not to send me to the official. I have no way of living. There will be an official from the top tomorrow, and my family can't get enough money, so I can only..."
When Paralympus Yu heard that he was going to be sent to court, he became anxious.
In fact, if you think about it, he is also carrying it! This is his first time being a thief. If he had no other choice, why would he do it? Now, if he is caught, what should he do if he is sent to court?
"Yu Ke! Yu Lin!" Father Gu wanted to call Yu Paralyzed, but then he thought about it, calling him that nickname was inappropriate.
"My uncle knows your family's difficulties! But this cannot be the reason for you to become a thief. Whose family doesn't have difficulties? Whose family can collect so much money? Then why do you steal without seeing others? Obviously this is not the case.
The problem of not having money is a problem of character. Yes, our family got some money some time ago, but we only spent seven or seventy percent of it." Father Gu said to the paralyzed man sincerely.
"Uncle! I know what you said is right, and I also know that I was wrong. I just lost my mind. Uncle! Please let me go! Don't send me to the official. There is another blind person in my family.
My mother and a girl, if I go into the cell, what will happen to my poor mother and girl?" Paralyzed Yu said while struggling, as if he wanted to get up on his knees.
But soon, Gu Chengyi suppressed him and prevented him from moving.
The paralytic Yu felt a little dejected as he was being pressed down. In fact, serving a corvee was almost the same as being sent to a prison cell. Both of them would almost kill him. The punishment for stealing in the Dayan Dynasty was extremely serious. In the court, he had to be slapped with a top ten
Don't underestimate these ten boards. Those officials can beat you to pieces. If you don't get treatment in time, your life will be in danger.
Thinking like this, I became listless. Forget it, it was either going to a prison cell or doing corvee labor, there was no difference between the two.
"Dad! We can't let him go like this, otherwise, what will happen if he comes next time?" Gu Chengyi didn't want to let Paralytic Yu go just like that.
"Uncle! How can there be a next time for me? If you don't send me to the official, tomorrow I will report my name to serve in the corvee. I don't know if I will come back alive. I just came back by luck, so what's the point?
Do you have to do such a thing again?" Paralyzed Yu said with a self-deprecating smile.
"Dad! I think there is nothing we can do about Paralytic Yu. How about we not send him to the official? That's really pitiful!" Seeing Paralytic Yu's appearance, Gu Chengli also felt that he was a little pitiful.
Father Gu originally saw that Paralyzed Yu still had some filial piety, so he didn't want to send him to the official position. However, he was still a little unwilling to let him go like this. If in the future, other people follow Paralyzed Yu's example,
If they go to Gu's house for a walk in the middle of the night, then they can't survive? So punishment is necessary.
Seeing that Father Gu was silent, everyone looked at him, waiting for him to make up his mind.
Gu Chengyu took a look at Paralytic Yu and saw that he didn't look like a cunning person, so he had an idea in mind. However, he would discuss this matter later when no one was around.
Father Gu thought for a while, even though his family caught the person, they couldn't mess with this matter. It would be better to put the person in the woodshed first, wait until daybreak, invite Li Zheng to come, and then deal with it.
.
"Boss, you and the second child will lock Yu Lin in the firewood house first. This matter will have to wait until dawn tomorrow. We have invited Li Zheng to handle it." Father Gu ordered the two of them.
Then I saw the third and fourth children staring in confusion and almost falling asleep, so I asked them to go back to the house and sleep first.
"Xiaobao! Why don't you go to bed quickly? You have to get up early tomorrow. I've been delayed for so long today. Alas! Things are really happening one after another, never ending. Even if I want to have a solid sleep, I can't stop." Lu
After Shi and others left, she got on the kang. During this period, she yawned greatly. She was also very sleepy and her mind was a little confused. She always felt that there was something else that she didn't think of talking about. But at this moment, she just wanted to
