After hearing what her master said about those doctors at that time, Mrs. Zhou was filled with grief and couldn't help but shed tears. When she thought of those doctors at that time and the desperate expressions after seeing her son, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. Sad and heartbroken, she really didn't know what kind of power had supported her through that difficult road.
"No matter what the doctors said, your mother and I have never given up on you." Zhou Ruhai suddenly calmed down and prepared to finish the work, "Because we both feel in our hearts that you are our flesh and blood." , even if you become a disabled person in the end and need our care for a lifetime, we still hope that you can survive.
On the way to seek medical treatment for you, we both suffered so much that we can no longer remember it now. Your mother and I have never regretted it, because we both feel that as long as those doctors and herbal medicine can make you No matter how far we go, we both have no regrets and are willing to live. "
While listening, Mrs. Zhou kept nodding her head, and she agreed very much with what her master said, because when Yi Ming was ill at that time, she was willing to trade her own life for her son's survival.
Zhou Yiming lowered his head and looked at his toes, thinking that his father's words were finally almost over.
"We, husband and wife, have worked so hard to finally save your life, but look at yourself, how did you repay the two of us?" Zhou Ruhai began to finish, wanting to immediately suppress all the heavy moral shackles. In the case of Yi Ming, he had to bow his head and admit his mistake under heavy pressure, "Since you got married, do you still look like yourself? We are so complacent that we are an old couple. , after so much hardship, what you got in the end was your unfilial piety and disrespect. If you had known this, why would the two of us have worked so hard in the first place?
Directly respect the choice of fate, whether it's life or death, it's up to you, and you'll save yourself the trouble of being so miserable now. "
After finishing this long speech, Zhou Ruhai pretended to be pitiful and sat on the chair for a while, as if he had collapsed. He closed his eyes and put his hand on his forehead. On the surface, he seemed to be deep in thought. generally.
Usually after using this trick, regardless of whether Zhou Yiming made a mistake or not, he would immediately admit his mistake under the torture of psychological pressure.
But after using this trick this time, Zhou Ruhai felt a little uneasy. After all, he had not used this trick for a long time since Yi Ming got married. So now, he himself had no idea how much effect this trick had on Yi Ming. What a certainty.
So after those words, even though he was sitting on the chair, his whole mind was focused on Zhou Ming, hoping that he would cry and kneel in front of him and sincerely admit his mistake like before.
If things really turn out like this, not only can I save my face, but I won't have to give up my position as the head of the family to my son so quickly in the future.
Mrs. Zhou originally cared for her son, but after hearing what her master said, she hesitated in her stance. She even felt in her heart that her master had put in so much effort to treat her son, and now his son was not interested in him. It's really wrong to be so disrespectful.
She had the intention to go over and scold her son, but then she thought about it, her son was not as shameless and unruly as her master said. Maybe he had some last resort for driving his master out of the study just now. The thing is really like this. If you go over and scold him for no reason, wouldn't it make the child feel unhappy?
In the constant struggle between these two ideas, Mrs. Zhou never decided which side to help, so she had to stay where she was, choosing not to help anyone.
There was silence in the room for a moment, and Zhou Ruhai waited for a long time, but Yi Ming didn't show any sign. Not only did he not admit his mistake, he even stood there without any intention of coming over.
Zhou Ruhai couldn't bear it any longer. He raised his head, looked at Zhou Ming, and said calmly: "Ming'er, I just said so much, didn't you feel touched at all?"
Zhou Yiming shook his head, deliberately pretending to be dumbfounded.
"Then don't you have anything to say to me?" Some Guizhou donkeys said in a low voice.
Zhou Yiming still shook his head, and then said: "If you asked me to come here just to listen to these words, then I can only tell you that I have finished listening. Can I leave now?"
The surprised expression on Zhou Ruhai's face suddenly froze. He really didn't expect that the trick that was 100% effective for Zhou Ming in the past had no effect on him at all now. After listening to his emotional complaints, this kid actually Not even the slightest touch, this level of psychological strength is simply terrifying.
"Okay, I've finished listening to what you have to say. It's getting late. You two should have a rest early. I'm going back too." After Zhou Ming finished speaking with a smile, he turned around and left.
Zhou Ruhai's eyes almost popped out of his head. He really didn't expect that his son not only didn't take his words seriously, but even didn't respect him at all.
He stood up with a loud noise, pointed at Zhou Ming with his finger, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "You...you kid want to piss me off to death, right?"
Mrs. Zhou also felt that her son's behavior was a bit excessive. She immediately stood up, grabbed her husband, and said to Yi Ming: "Son, why are you talking to your father? Your father wants to know who is the person who is looking for you. , I care about you and do it for your own good, why are you so ignorant?"
Zhou Yiming said he was leaving, but he was actually just trying to tease his father. He knew very well that if he just left like this, it would be too much. Maybe his father would be distracted and commit suicide.
"Oh, Mom and Dad, why are you so ignorant of fun? Do you really believe me when I say I'm leaving? I'm just teasing you." Zhou Yiming quickly showed a smile and explained, "Actually, Dad's I understand what he was thinking. Didn't he just want to know what the hell the person wanted to do with me just now?
Can't you just ask me directly? Why are you talking so much about sesame seeds and millet? How did I survive this little life? Do I not know in my heart? Is it necessary to talk about it every day or every month?
No matter how great the kindness is, if you keep talking about it, it will make people feel disgusted. "
Seeing that Zhou Yiming's attitude was a little relaxed, Mrs. Zhou was very happy, because she had already seen that it would be difficult for the father and son to end this matter if they did not give in.
She hurriedly said to her master: "Master, you see, our son knows what you are thinking, and he is just teasing you. If you are still so angry, you will inevitably lose your status in front of our son. "
In fact, when Zhou Ruhai stood up to question Yi Ming just now, it was all a bluff, and he felt very guilty. He was afraid that Yi Ming would completely ignore his questioning and turn around and leave. In that case, he would be embarrassed.
Now he realized that his son's tone was a little loose. As if he had grasped a life-saving straw, he hurriedly took over the words: "Okay, since you said so, I won't be the same as you. Let me ask you something. , who is the person who came today, and what is he looking for you for? As long as you explain this clearly to me, I will let you go immediately."
Zhou Yiming showed a bad smile and thought to himself, Dad, you have to fall into the trap yourself. I'm not forcing you. If you can't step down by then, don't blame me.
"Dad, do you really want to know that much?" Zhou Yiming pretended to be embarrassed.
"Yes, I have the right to know what happened in my family. You and others hid it from me, just because you didn't take me seriously." Zhou Ruhai was still stubborn and didn't notice at all that the danger had quietly come.
Seeing that the father and son were finally able to talk calmly, Mrs. Zhou was afraid that they would get angry again while talking, so she hurriedly said to Zhou Ming: "Son, please stop showing off. Tell your father honestly what happened." Come on, your father and I are not outsiders, no matter how confidential the matter is, we will not leak it for you."
Zhou Yiming nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, since you insist, then I will tell you.
When I told you about last night's events in the courtyard, I also mentioned a person to you. This person's name is Han Pingzhi, who is the general manager of the General Affairs Office.
As for the person who came just now, he was the chief steward of Han Ping's house. The reason why he came quietly was because the purpose of his visit could not be known to outsiders. "
As Zhou Ming spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller. He hoped to use this method to make these words sound more true.
Zhou Ruhai already felt a little bad at this time. After all, although his official position was not high, he had been in the yamen for long enough. He understood all the rules and unspoken rules in the yamen.
Usually in the court, if one of the two officials who have a good relationship suddenly sends a servant from his family to the other's house to perform a secret mission, there are only two possibilities for this mission, one is to borrow money, and the other is to hide the money.
Although Zhou Yiming and Han Pingzhi have a good friendship, they have only met a few times. The level of trust between the two people has not reached the level of hiding money in each other's homes, so there is only one way at this time. It was explained that that person came here and must have borrowed money from Zhou Ming.
Thinking of this, cold sweat started to fall on Zhou Ruhai's face again, because he suddenly understood why his son had not introduced the origin of that person to him just now.
Although Mrs. Zhou's IQ is not low, she has no experience as an official, so she naturally does not understand the meaning of her son's words. She thought her son was teasing the old couple again, so she said angrily: "Ming'er, don't It’s too late to tell the truth.”
