Chapter 343 Good deeds(1/2)
Chapter 343
The young man's complexion was a little yellow and he looked a little malnourished.
Jiahao frowned even more when he saw the young man's appearance. This was the strangest person he had ever seen. It was not that he had never seen a crazy person gambling on stones. The image looked very similar to the young man in front of him, but
But there are some differences.
As for what's different, Jiahao couldn't explain.
At this time, the old man spoke up and advised earnestly: "Xue Lin, you have bought no less than ten yuan of wool this month. You always said that you would bet on an increase in each piece, but now you have failed every time.
I believed your lies and kept selling you wool. I can't sell it to you no matter what you say today! You go." He said that he was about to snatch the piece of wool.
"You have to sell it today!" Xue Lin immediately threw the money on the ground, picked up the wool and ran away quickly. The old man wanted to reach out to grab Xue Lin, but failed, and in the end he could only look at Xue Lin's back.
He sighed helplessly.
Jiahao looked at the disappointed old man and approached him. He felt that the old man did not look like a profiteer. Because profiteers would not persuade people not to buy their own wool.
"Old sir, what happened just now? As a businessman, how can you push your business to other places?"
Hearing this, the old man sighed and said: "Although the purpose of doing business is to make money, you must also be conscientious. The Xue Lin just now, his father is seriously ill in bed, and the money for treatment was not much less, but because of gambling on stones,
The money in his hand is getting less and less, and he has lost money in gambling ten times in a row. This time I am afraid it will be his last money. I hope he can gamble more, otherwise his father will be hopeless!" The old man shook his head.
The money on the ground was collected.
Jiahao thought of the piece of wool just now. To be honest, he was not optimistic about that piece of wool. Although the characteristics were quite obvious, just like the piece of wool he saw just now, the green had all gone outside. Even if there was any inside, there would be none.
Too many emeralds. In other words, the one named Xue Lin basically won't bet on the price.
An old father who is bedridden? Jiahao couldn't help but frown. His father who was seriously ill in bed actually dared to bet on stones, and he continued to bet. It is certain that nine times out of ten he would lose when he bets on stones, and his money would be getting less and less.
How else to treat his father?
Soon, Jiahao thought of another question. "If that's the case, then why do you have to sell him wool materials again and again?"
The old man gave a helpless smile and said: "If I don't sell it, he will go to other places to buy it. To put it bluntly, instead of letting others deceive him, it is better for me to select a few for him that are more betable.
This is not to say how good my character is. I also want to make money, but I am making money without conscience. I am already at this age and do not want to do things that are harmful to nature. I have also watched Xue Lin grow up.
, he was a very good child at first, but it’s a pity... alas!”
Jiahao could hear the sincerity and sigh in the old man's tone.
Indeed, rather than letting others cheat, it is better to help him. For people like Xue Lin, I am afraid that any conscientious person will be angry at him and lament his misfortune.
He had only heard of people who lost their fortune gambling on stones and roads, but had never seen one. Maybe he saw one today.
Jiahao did not look down upon such people. Not everyone was as lucky as him, and everyone had their own destiny. However, it would be difficult for him to accept it if there was an old father who was sick in bed at home.
Human life is at stake, and you still think about betting on stones! That’s the father who raised you with shit and piss!
After pondering for a moment, Jiahao had an immature idea in his mind, so he asked: "How did that Xue Lin get on the road of gambling on stones? Why didn't he care about his father?"
"This matter is really a long story." The old man seemed to have found someone to talk to. After all, few people in the stone gambling world were as enthusiastic as Jiahao.
"Actually, Xue Lin is a good boy. He has been sensible since he was a child. His mother died of dystocia when giving birth to him, and his father made him grow up by pooping and peeing. Xue Lin is very filial and never asks for anything.
He was very obedient. Until a month ago, he was recognized as a good boy. Anyone who met him would praise his father for having such a good son. But a month ago, his father suddenly suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in bed. He was in urgent need of a doctor.
Money saved his life, but his family simply didn't have that much money. In those days, Xue Lin cried all day long and had no choice. He had sent his father to the hospital before, but the hospital refused to treat his father because the hospitalization fee was not enough.
This almost made the filial Xue Lin collapse."
"Just when he had no other choice, one of his friends encouraged him to gamble on stones. However, it is a lie to become rich overnight by gambling on stones. It is true that nine out of ten bets will result in losing. But because he was in desperate need of money, Xue Lin went to
With such a road of no return, how could he gamble on stones without any experience at all? He didn't come to me at first, but went to other stalls. As a result, he lost his money and lost all his money. This knife also made Xue Lin's
His personality changed drastically. It used to be that this money could allow his father to buy medicine for a while, but now he spent half of the money, which immediately caused the young and unshocked man to collapse, and his whole mind became a little blurry. Gambling
Everyone who was defeated wanted to win back, so he started betting more crazily on stones, hoping to use them to make money to help his father treat his illness, but all this was simply impossible, this kid was too stupid!"
"At first I didn't know about their family's situation, but later I found out and I tried to persuade him. By then it was already too late. He completely became a stone-betting lunatic, bent on making money to treat his father's illness. This is still the case today, but
God didn't help him, he lost every time he bet, and the money he had was getting less and less. In order to prevent others from cheating him again, I pulled him back to his stall and helped him, but my level
It’s too limited and I can’t help him at all. Alas! It’s such a pity that a good child ended up on this path! This child’s starting point was good. He never forgot to treat his father, but because of his death,
One wrong step, and the line and surface will continue to go wrong..." After listening to the old man's words, Jiahao didn't know how to describe Xue Lin.
He could be sure of Xue Lin's filial piety, but he couldn't be sure of his behavior.
He didn't blame Xue Lin. He didn't know what he would do if he was in the other person's situation. Maybe he would be the same as him... A drowning person will definitely grab a life-saving straw desperately when he sees it, but this can't be saved by a life-saving straw.
People may even lead people into deeper abyss.
But what else can be done in that situation? Xue Lin's filial piety is good, but he has embarked on a road of no return. The money on his body is getting less and less, and the hope of his father's medical treatment is getting smaller and smaller. This point
Xue Lin must have known that regret, dissatisfaction, expectations, filial piety and other things made him go further and further on the road of no return. Because of his filial piety, he became even more crazy.
Jiahao knew that Xue Lin hated himself very much now, and he had felt this way before.
The expectations of his parents and the entire village rested on his shoulders. The only college student from a small mountain village earned only a few hundred yuan a month. How could he face his parents? He hated himself,
He wanted to repay more to his parents and uncles in the village after learning archeology.
But this study lasted for four years. When he wanted to quit, it was very difficult because he was unwilling! He was unwilling to study for four years and learned nothing.
The past few years have been so precious to him, but he has learned nothing! The same goes for Xue Lin. He hates himself and the sky, and he is even more unwilling to do so.
He wanted to make up his losses, but the more he lost, the more he lost. Jiahao could understand Xue Lin, and Xue Lin had his shadow in him. They were the same kind of people. Go help him! Jiahao sighed in his heart. "Old sir, you
Can you tell me where Xue Lin’s home is?”
The old man looked at Jiahao doubtfully, not understanding what Lin Yue was going to do.
"It just so happens that I'm going to have a look, let's go together. If his bet really goes up, I'll be sorry for this kid. If the bet doesn't go up, I'll send the money back to him. I'll help if I can."
The old man briefly explained to his family, and then walked towards Xue Lin's home with Lin Yue.
On the way, Jiahao learned that the old man's name was Meng Guangwei, and Lin Yue called him Mr. Meng.
"Have you heard? That boy from the Xue family lost his bet! This is the eleventh time!"
"This kid has never learned any skills in stone gambling. It's normal to bet on stones, but it's abnormal not to bet on stones. Haha... there's another legend on this street!"
…
Hearing the sounds of gloating around others, Lin Yue's face became extremely gloomy. On the one hand, he felt angry for these people who were gloating about others' misfortune, and on the other hand, Lin Yue also felt sad for Xue Lin.
His bet failed again, it seems God won't help him...
Mr. Meng kept sighing after hearing the news. Not long after, Jiahao and Mr. Meng came to the city of Ruili, a dilapidated house that would soon be demolished. The whole yard was quiet.
Jiahao is very sure that Xue Lin will return home. Even if he can't stand the stimulation and wants to commit suicide, he will come back to see his father first and arrange everything, but he will leave this world with regret and remorse. A filial person will do this. Jiahao and
Mr. Meng came outside a room and stopped immediately when he saw the scene inside.
Xue Lin knelt in front of his hospital bed and began to cry with regret. Silently crying, tears streaming down his face.
Xue Lin hated himself and hated himself for gambling away all his money. This was his father's life-saving money! He will stop taking medicine today and his father's life will be in danger at any time.
I'm such a bastard! Xue Lin scolded himself hard. The tears in his eyes made him unable to see his father's face clearly. He was ashamed to see his father. The father who raised him and gave him selfless love was in his own eyes.
The hands of this unfilial son ruined the hope of living.
Dad, my son is unfilial...
Xue Lin's whole body trembled. He wanted to cry loudly, but he couldn't because he was afraid of waking his father.
He was afraid that his father would be sad to see him like this, and he didn't want to make his father sad.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Xue Lin kowtowed to his father three times, blood dripping from his forehead, but he ignored it and looked at his father.
Dad, if there is a next life, I am willing to be your father, take good care of you and take care of you...
Xue Linhuo stood up, took a deep breath, wiped the tears from his face with his dirty sleeves, glanced at his father with nostalgia, then turned and left.
Dad, we will see you in the next life...
Seeing Xue Lin walking out of the room, Mr. Meng hurriedly asked: "Xue Lin, what are you going to do?" He had a bad feeling in his heart. He felt that Xue Lin was going to do something stupid.
Xue Lin looked at Mr. Meng and Lin Yue at the door. There was no surprise in his eyes. Perhaps he had forgotten what surprise meant. For a person who wanted to die, what else was worthy of surprise.
Upon hearing Mr. Meng's question, a sunny smile appeared on Xue Lin's face, with a hint of relief in his smile.
"Grandpa Meng, I have to go on a long journey to work outside. During this time, my father will trouble you." Hearing Xue Lin call him this, Mr. Meng immediately became alert. He is also a man who has lived a long time.
, how can we not be able to distinguish clearly in this situation?
"Xue Lin, don't worry about it! I'm here to give you money. I can lend it to you. Don't worry about it! If you can't think about it, what will your father do?" Meng Lao said and hurriedly took the money from his pocket.
Take out the money.
Xue Lin didn't look at the money, and the smile on his face became even bigger, and said: "Grandpa Meng, you are overthinking it. Why can't I think about it? I really go to work, so don't worry, this money will be used as
I'm borrowing it from you first, so you can help my dad see a doctor."
Mr. Meng looked at Xue Lin's expression, and for a moment he couldn't tell what Xue Lin was really thinking. Mr. Meng, just because he couldn't see clearly doesn't mean that Jiahao couldn't see clearly. The moment Xue Lin turned around, he had already seen it in the other person's eyes.
Farewell, this is definitely not going to work. And if you lose your job, why not borrow money to take care of your father's illness before leaving? All this shows that Xue Lin went to seek death.
Thinking of this, Jiahao immediately stepped forward and said: "Xue Lin, hello, my name is Yao Jiahao, a real estate businessman. I have taken a fancy to your house and I don't know if it can be sold to me. I am willing to pay a high price."
To be continued...
