Gong Yu heard Gong Jian's words and calmed down at this time. He probably understood what his eldest brother meant.
Before returning to the inn, Gong Jian reminded his younger brothers and sisters, "Don't mention the matter we discussed just now with your parents."
Gong Jian felt that his father and mother were sometimes stubborn, and they might not necessarily agree with his younger siblings. Even though they would be kind to Old Man Wang's family and sympathize with their tragic experiences, they would not.
I must be able to accept the expectations of my younger brothers and sisters.
Gong Yu and Gong Yue looked at each other, and both nodded solemnly. They also agreed with their elder brother that this must be the decision of the three of them. And from now on, Old Man Wang’s family will actually be with the three of them, or
To be precise, I have the most contact with Gongyue.
So that night, when the family sat together, Gong Jian did not mention this matter. But even if he didn't mention it, he believed that his parents, such kind people, would definitely not make things difficult for Old Man Wang and his family.
As for the attitude of my family towards Old Man Wang and his family in the future, it depends on whether Gong Yu can open the gap so that Old Man Wang and his family can truly open their eyes and realize the good intentions of their younger brothers and sisters towards them.
If his second brother, the most honest and kind, could not impress that family, then Gong Jian decided to treat them as ordinary servants.
Anyway, the family members are kind-hearted and easy to get along with. As for Old Man Wang and his family, even if they are servants, they will not have any difficulty living in their home.
However, when Gong Yu was lying in bed at night, he thought of this matter again. He thought about how to persuade Old Man Wang's family. Finally, he decided to simply explain his old background to Old Man Wang's family clearly and let them know.
My own home is actually very similar to theirs.
If they can accept this, then they will propose that when they get along in the future, they hope that they can put aside the so-called distinction between master and servant, treat their families equally, and hope that the two families can live together harmoniously.
In his opinion, his family is really similar to Old Man Wang's family. However, his family is luckier and has not experienced the pain of losing a loved one like Old Man Wang's family later encountered.
This was all thanks to his eldest brother's ability. Otherwise, Gong Yu couldn't imagine whether his family's current situation could be any better than that of Old Man Wang and his family.
This was the origin of the conversation between Gong Yu and Old Man Wang, who were sitting at the stone table. At this time, he was still there, explaining his family's financial situation to Old Man Wang seriously.
"Originally, when my parents split up, they didn't get any property. The two of them, together with my eldest brother, almost started from scratch. Thanks to their hard work and ability, they slowly accumulated some property.
When my little sister was three or four years old, my father went out to work and was accidentally injured.
When my father was injured and carried back, he was seriously injured. The money he paid for working those days was also withheld by his employer, who said it was spent on his previous injuries. So those people took the injured father and
He threw it directly at my house and left without saying anything.
At that time, my father was seriously ill and in a coma, and my mother had no choice but to immediately invite a nearby doctor to come to her home to treat her father. However, my father was seriously injured, and he needed good medicine for his injuries and a slow recovery.
I remember that in order to treat my father's illness, the few acres of land at home were slowly sold. Originally, my eldest brother went to a private school in the village because my father had to spend money to treat his illness and could not afford the money for his private school.
The eldest brother then returned home and earned some coppers by going to town every day to copy books for people or write letters for others.
At first, my mother still took care of my father at home, but then everything that could be sold in the house was sold and everything that could be mortgaged was mortgaged. However, my father's illness did not improve, so my mother had no choice but to go to a wealthy family in the town to help him.
People wash clothes, sew and mend to earn some household income.
But even though my mother and eldest brother went out to make money, the family's situation became increasingly poorer and poorer. Eventually, the family could no longer afford to buy medicine for my father's illness."
When talking about this past event, Gong Yu described with some difficulty the embarrassing situation of the family at that time. His words were still so straightforward, but such simple words were more able to arouse people who also had similar experiences.
resonance of people.
Hearing his words, Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, and even his grandson and granddaughter stopped eating breakfast, and they all fell into a common emotion. They had all suffered,
For people who have experienced that kind of difficult life, hearing Gong Yu's description, they seem to be able to be in it and think of the poverty-stricken situation at that time.
There was silence for a long time, but she didn't hear Gong Yu continue talking. Aunt Wang couldn't help but ask: "What happened next?"
At this time, she was completely immersed in the situation Gong Yu mentioned, feeling that there was no hope at all and that she was really unable to figure out how to get out of the predicament.
Aunt Wang was a little anxious and completely forgot that she had read about his father in the main room just now. Although the man said he had leg problems and could not walk, he looked full of energy, his face was glowing, and there was no trace of any pain.
.
After receiving this reminder from Aunt Wang, Gong Yu woke up from the painful memories just now.
He smiled and looked sincerely at Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang who were also anxiously waiting in front of him. Then he said: "Later, my eldest brother, seeing that the situation at home was really bad, if my father's illness continues
If it is not cured, he may leave us early.
The eldest brother had no choice but to hide from all of us and ran to the dock to do manual labor. One day, his co-workers carried him back and frightened everyone in our family. They thought that the eldest brother was like his father and suffered
He was injured and was carried back. At that time, everyone realized that the eldest brother actually went to the dock to carry gifts for people to earn money.
Fortunately, although the eldest brother fainted that time, he was just exhausted and his body was not injured. When the eldest brother woke up, he thought of a better way to support the family. He just used his bare hands, and the first
The first time I came to the mountain behind our village, I didn’t take anything, but I came back with a full load.”
Gong Yu also tried his best, he didn't hide anything at all, he simply told the history of his family's fortune. (To be continued)
