Chapter 30 Damn Old Li, Ridiculous Liu Er
"You're a damn bastard!"
"How much have I suffered since I married into your Li family?"
"Just when life is starting to look promising, don't you even know your own last name? Do you have to go fight with others?"
"Why don't you just die?"
"Now that he's in this state, he's still dragging us down."
“Ahaha!”
"Tomorrow I will take your son and remarry, and let you, the damned one, starve to death here!"
Old Li lay on the bed, looking depressed, and turned a deaf ear to his wife's curses.
If only I hadn't been so impulsive at the time...
Even if I'm the second one to rush up, it's fine.
Several doctors have examined him these days, and they all said that he would have to lie down for the rest of his life.
I can only lie down...
When Lao Li thought about how his disability would cause his family, which had just started to improve, to fall from grace and even become worse than before, he felt filled with regret.
Unfortunately, it’s too late to say anything.
"Excuse me, is this Li Quanan's home?"
A male voice suddenly came, stopping the cursing abruptly.
"You are... Lord Xu?"
The woman was suddenly at a loss as to what to do.
Lord Xu?
Old Li's gray eyes finally had some color.
"No need to be so polite, I'm here to see Lao Li, how is he doing?"
"He... Sir, please go in by yourself."
With a creak, the door to the inner room opened.
Old Li reluctantly turned his head and gave Xu Chong who came in a smile that was uglier than crying: "Please forgive me, sir. I can't stand up anymore."
Xu Chong sighed secretly, moved a stool and sat beside the bed, "After such a serious injury, I'm lucky to be alive."
"That's what your Excellency said."
Old Li felt bitter, "I didn't know why you came here..."
“This is your disability benefits.”
Xu Chong stretched out his right hand from under his robe sleeve and placed a money bag on the edge of the bed. "Not much, only one hundred taels."
“…”
Old Li's eyes rolled around and his gaze fell on the purse.
"You can use this money to set up a business. With three shifts to look after one or two, it won't be hard to make a living."
Xu Chong said to himself, "Also, if you need any help, ask your wife to tell the patrol officers, or come to the government office to find me directly."
"Thank you...thank you, sir..."
Old Li's voice was hoarse and his throat was blocked.
Not to mention Canglong County, even in the whole Daqing, there has never been any such thing as disability allowance.
Only those who died in the line of duty and died completely will receive a pension.
And it is far from the standard of one hundred taels.
One hundred taels of silver...
If Xu Chong hadn't paid for it out of his own pocket, he would have dared to tear his head off.
"You deserve it, no need to thank me."
Xu Chong stood up and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"wait wait wait!"
"Hmm? What can I do for you?"
"I...I want to ask you to do me a favor."
"You tell me, I will try my best to satisfy you."
"grown ups……"
Old Li glanced outside the house, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "Please give me a quick death, sir!"
“…”
Xu Chong was silent.
He tried hard to be indifferent, but in the end he couldn't maintain it.
"My Lord, my Lord!"
Seeing Xu Chong didn't say anything, Old Li suddenly became anxious, "I've become a useless person. I can't do anything except waiting to die. I have to drag down my wife and children..."
"If that bitch could keep her word, why would she bother you?"
"But I know that she has a sharp tongue. Even if she gets dragged to death, she will not really abandon me."
As he spoke, Old Li began to choke up, "I, Old Li, am useless. I have made her suffer for half her life , how can I let her continue to suffer?"
"Please, sir, give me a quick death, and let that bitch go and remarry peacefully with the money..."
"Sir, I may have been incapable of recognizing a great man in the past, and I may have offended him."
"But please help me one last time, considering that I was injured for the government."
"grown ups……"
Before he could finish his words, a shrill wail sounded like a cuckoo crying blood.
Lao Li's wife rushed in like crazy, pushed Xu Chong away, and slapped Lao Li hard in the face.
"die?!"
"Do you want to die so badly?!"
"I have suffered with you for half my life, and I even gave birth to a son for your Li family. You owe me so much, have you paid it back? Have you paid it back?"
"OK!"
"You want to die, don't you?"
"Die, all of you!"
"I will take your son with me to be buried with you, and cut off the incense of your Li family!"
The slaps fell on Lao Li's face one after another, but they became weaker and weaker. Finally, he fell on Lao Li's chest, crying loudly.
"Do you know... the kid said you are a hero who fought against the rebels. You are a hero!"
"He said that when he grows up, he wants to fight rebels like you and become a hero."
"If you die like a coward, what will happen to your child?"
"Baby..."
Old Li's heart was pounding, tears welled up in his eyes, "Yes, yes, I am a hero, I am a hero."
The will to die was replaced by the desire to live.
Xu Chong knew that he didn't need to do anything else, so he closed the door and left quietly.
His arrival completely triggered the only conflict between the couple.
Soon, this contradiction was completely resolved by the word "husband and wife".
The small house is no longer gloomy, but full of hope and warmth.
After Xu Chong left, he went to the East Market to buy two pots of osmanthus wine and came to the outskirts of the city alone.
Uncle San has one more neighbor.
Liu Xiaoqing.
Xu Chong placed one of the pots of wine in front of the grave and sat beside it holding the other pot.
"Liu Er, Liu Er, you are really stupid, the stupidest in the entire Canglong County."
"Hehe...good officer?"
As Xu Chong spoke, he tilted his head back and drank most of the wine in the pot.
"Do you know how worthless your death is?"
"First of all, I'm not a good official."
"In this world, are there any good officials?"
"They are all harming others to benefit themselves."
"It's just harming you, and it doesn't benefit me at all."
"Secondly..."
"No one remembers what you did."
"You used one life to save a hundred lives."
"But those who were rescued don't remember this."
"They only knew that they were participating in a siege against traitors."
"And your death was even attributed to your desire to take all the credit, so you were executed by the Blood Robe Guards."
"Is it funny?"
Xu Chong smiled and drank the rest of the wine.
Not long after Liu Er died, daybreak arrived.
Just like when Xu Chong first conducted the experiment, all the bailiffs who knew about it instantly lost consciousness.
When they wake up again, the truth has been hidden due to the influence of the obstruction of knowledge and perception, and everyone's cognition has completely changed.
Except for Zhao Liu who was still sad about Liu Er's death, the others were even full of contempt.
Liu Er?
oh.
The servant of three surnames who first fawned over the county magistrate, then the registrar, and finally the Blood-Cloaked Guards.
He deserves to die.
"Ah."
"I guess you're cursing down there right now, right?"
Xu Chong shook his head, stood up and threw the wine jug away.
"Since I brought you some wine, just curse me a little, but don't go too far."
"When it's time to drink soup, drink soup. When it's time to be reborn, be reborn."
"Choose a good birth in your next life."
