After Zhao Rong said those words, Gong Yu didn't feel any resentment at all. He didn't think that Zhao Rong's words were suspicions and speculations about his family background, or that he wanted to use money.
He dismissed himself because he knew that Zhao Rong had been very indifferent to money because of his family background.
So much so that Zhao Rong never mentioned the matter of repaying the money since the two met. But from his grateful eyes and subsequent words, it could be vaguely revealed that this little brother has already made a plan and will definitely do so in the future.
Treat yourself well in return, or use other methods to express your gratitude for your kindness today.
This was originally something that the two of them didn't say out loud, but they both knew it well. But now after listening to what he just said, the little brother suddenly realized that his family might not be as wealthy as he thought, so he
That's why I said it like this, from the bottom of my heart.
How could Gong Yu care about his heartfelt words? After all, the little brother's intention was very obvious. He wanted to help him, instead of being condescending to the rich. He wanted to use money to repay his friendship, but he wanted to spend money.
Just some money to avoid others trying to get involved.
So after listening to Zhao Rong's words, Gong Yu didn't have any adverse reaction. Instead, the smile in his eyes became deeper and deeper. Seeing that Zhao Rong was still eagerly waiting for his answer, Gong Yu finally simply shook his head and continued.
Tell him how his family spent those difficult days.
"Little brother, don't worry, listen to me and tell you slowly. The reason why my family was so difficult all of a sudden was mainly because my father was injured while working outside and was sent back. I suddenly lost my father's income outside.
, and the food produced in the few acres of thin fields at home is far from enough to feed the family."
When it comes to the few acres of land at home, Gong Yu is actually still angry. Those acres of land were originally too barren and had actually been deserted for several years. When the family was separated, his uncle even took a few acres of wasteland.
Sent his family away.
Even though my mother later worked very hard and cultivated those few acres of thin fields diligently every day, the output was really unsatisfactory. After a year of hard work, during the autumn harvest every year, the food brought back was not enough for the family.
People can eat it for several months.
It was because of this situation that when his father was injured outside and was sent back, the family lost the income from his father's work outside, and life suddenly became difficult. What's more, when his father returned home after being injured, he still needed constant medical treatment and food.
Medicine, the family's savings were quickly spent.
Thinking of those difficult days, Gong Yu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. "At that time, my father had to take medicine every day. But even so, his condition became worse and worse. The family could sell it for money.
I sold all my belongings, but my father’s illness did not improve at all, and later he was even on the verge of life and death.”
When she mentioned that her father was seriously ill, Gong Yu remembered how hateful her uncle's family was. At that time, her mother abandoned all her dignity. In order for her father to survive, she had to go to the door of her uncle's house to beg.
I could lend her some copper coins. No matter what, I should buy a few taels of medicine so that my father could survive the crisis. But the cruel uncle and his family made my mother beg in vain at the gate all night.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Gong Yu continued to say in a calm tone: "At that time, everyone in the family was trying every means to make money. Just to be able to buy life-saving medicine for my father. Naturally, the eldest brother could not continue to be here.
Studying in private school.
Although the eldest brother's tuition had been paid earlier that year, he still gave up the opportunity to study in a private school. Instead, he ran outside every day. At first, he helped people write letters and copy books to earn some coins. Later, the burden on the family became more and more difficult.
It was getting heavier and heavier, so the eldest brother ran to the dock to carry the goods for others, just to earn a few more copper coins back."
At this time, Gong Yu once again described the difficult life of his family at that time, and his tone was much calmer, with no ups and downs in his tone, as if the difficult situation he described was actually a normal thing.
But when Zhao Rong heard these words, he was no less than a thunderbolt. He never thought that someone's life would be so difficult. And this person actually let his instinct give up his guard and trust him.
Brother Gong.
Although he knew intellectually that what Brother Gong was talking about was what happened to his family in the past, and he also clearly realized that just from Brother Gong's current clothes and behavior, it can be seen that his family must have gone through a period of time.
Very good.
But in his heart, Zhao Rong could not control his heart for Brother Gong. He felt as if his heart was caught by a big hand, rubbing it constantly, and he felt sour in his heart.
The Brother Gong in front of him, who had a nice smile and looked extremely reliable, making him want to get close to him, had actually lived such a difficult life. He couldn't help but hold his hands tightly, put them on his chest, and asked nervously:
"Brother Gong, what were you doing at that time?"
Zhao Rong asked this question very carefully. He knew that based on the half-day time he spent with Brother Gong, although most of his interactions with Brother Gong were due to his nature and did not think too much, but,
With his half-day understanding, he knew that if Brother Gong's family had experienced such hard times, then Brother Gong's life must have been very difficult at that time.
This is not only because his family is very poor and cannot provide good material conditions for Brother Gong, but because Brother Gong is a responsible and responsible person. At that time, he would never turn a blind eye.
Watching other people in the family work hard to make money.
Even at that time, I thought Brother Gong was not very old, but he was definitely doing his best to help the family. Thinking of this, Zhao Rong felt that his heart was about to be broken by that big hand.
At this time, Zhao Rong's eyes were blurred by tears, but he still held back and did not dare to shed tears. He knew that Brother Gong was definitely not telling these past events to make himself sympathize with him, so the tears could not be shed.
But Zhao Rong still felt very distressed in his heart. Brother Gong, who was young at that time, must have suffered a lot. Although Brother Gong never talked about how he spent those days, instinctively,
Zhao Rong knew that Brother Gong's life would never be any better than that of his family. (To be continued)
