Chu Yue couldn't help but sigh, there must be something hateful about poor people. When he stole things, he didn't think about the fact that he was older and younger. But now that he was in trouble, he thought of this.
Lu Dagui was anxious and hurriedly pulled Lu Xinghe's arm.
"Then I'll go to your house to help build a new house and use my wages to offset the two taels of silver. Is that okay?" Seeing Lu Xinghe didn't speak, Lu Dagui almost knelt down in front of him, "I did it because I was temporarily obsessed. When something like this happens, I know that there are many things I did wrong in the past, and I really won't do it in the future. Please give me a way out, I really can't go to jail, otherwise what will happen to my iron-clad family?"
At this moment, a strong man hurried over holding a four or five-year-old child.
"It's not good, Lu Dagui, your Tiedan didn't know what he ate and got stuck in his throat. He's almost dying."
Seeing this, the onlookers hurriedly moved out of the way. Lu Dagui took his son from the strong man's hand and looked at his red face and gradually limp body, completely panicked.
"Tiedan, what's wrong with you? Don't scare dad. He only has you now."
When Chu Yue saw the child's appearance, she didn't have time to think too much. She hurriedly stepped forward and took the child from Lu Dagui's hand, letting him lie on her arms, holding his head and neck with one hand, and lifting him again and again with the other hand. slapping him on the back.
After roughly three to five pats, the child spit out a core and then burst into tears.
Chu Yue breathed a sigh of relief and handed the child back to Lu Dagui.
"alright."
Lu Dagui took the child and hurriedly thanked Chu Yue.
The people around watching the excitement also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lu Xinghe’s wife was alert, otherwise the iron egg might have been gone today if such a big core had been stuck.
"Lu Dagui, look at all the bastard things you have done. You just do some small tricks on weekdays, but now you still get into other people's houses. If it weren't for Xinghe's wife today, your son would probably be dead."
"That's right, it's called repaying evil with kindness. But you stole people's money and refused to give it back. Isn't it a shame?"
"A human life is a great kindness."
Lu Dagui felt mixed emotions. He had done so many bad things before, but he was able to save his son at a critical moment regardless of past grudges.
After so many years of being confused, he seemed to suddenly wake up after this incident.
Lu Dagui held his son and knelt down in front of Chu Yue and Lu Xinghe with a sincere expression.
"It was my fault before, and I apologize to you for the wrong things I did. But I really don't have that much money at home. Can you give me some time? I promise I won't default on my debt. Even if I act like a cow or a horse, I will use my money." It’s paid off.”
Li Zheng seemed to be a little intolerant and helped to plead for mercy, "Xinghe, we are all from the countryside, you see..."
Lu Xinghe glanced at Li Zheng and then looked at Lu Dagui again.
"From today on, go to my new house to help pay off the debt. Don't have any evil thoughts again. I won't be so easy to talk to next time."
Lu Dagui hurriedly kowtowed, "Hey, I understand, thank you, thank you so much!"
Lu Xinghe turned sideways.
"Don't say goodbye, go get your son settled first. Work has started this afternoon."
"Okay." Lu Dagui stood up with red eyes and hugged his son, "Tiedan, dad will take you home first."
Everyone looked at Lu Dagui as if he was a different person compared to before. They all sighed and made way for him.
If he could change his ways, it would be because of family ties, and no one would really want to kick him out.
Now his wife has run away with someone, and the child is pitiful.
When the father and son arrived outside the courtyard, they heard Lu Dagui ask as he walked: "Tiedan, where did you get the fruit? How did it get stuck in your throat?"
Tiedan said with red eyes, "I saw my uncle taking my father away. I kept following him because he was worried about me. Later I saw a fruit core on the roadside with some uneaten pulp on it. I was really hungry. At once……"
Hearing this, Lu Dagui suddenly wiped away tears.
"It's dad's fault. He didn't take good care of you. When you get home, dad will get you something to eat first. After Tiedan is full, stay home and don't run around. Wait for dad to come back in the evening before cooking for you."
Tiedan lowered his head.
"Dad, did mom leave because Tie Dan was disobedient? Will dad also think Tie Dan is troublesome and leave me?"
Lu Dagui rubbed his son's head distressedly.
"Mom left because dad didn't do a good enough job, and it had nothing to do with Tiedan. Dad will cheer up in the future, and dad will not abandon Tiedan..."
The father and son walked further and further away, and their voices became quieter and quieter.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, it would be a good thing if Lu Dagui could turn around like this.
Lu Jianqi looked at his nephew's back, sighed, said goodbye to Lu Xinghe and went home.
Everyone dispersed and the courtyard became clear again. Chu Yue looked at Lu Xinghe and said, "Ms., please continue reading. I will bring you dinner from my old house later."
Lu Xinghe hummed, turned around and entered the house.
Chu Yue glanced into the room, then sat under the eaves with her sewing basket in her arms and continued to sew Lu Xinghe's purse.
Lu Xinghe, who was reading at the desk, looked outside the room. When he saw the serious look on the little girl's face, the corners of his lips curled up with a hint of endearment that he was not even aware of.
After sewing the purse, Chu Yue took the bamboo pole and basket while it was still early, and wanted to go to the nearby mountains to find some fruits.
Although the wild fruits here are sour, they are still edible when made into preserves. However, before they even left the yard, they were stopped by Lu Xinghe.
"Yueyue, where are you going?"
Chu Yue looked hurriedly into the room and replied: "Mr. sir, I won't run far away. I will just walk around and look for some fruits."
Lu Xinghe put down the book in his hand, "The fruits in the mountains are so sour and can't satisfy your hunger. What's the use of them?"
Chu Yue turned around and opened the courtyard door.
"Instead of eating it directly, I want to buy some to make preserves."
Lu Xinghe stood up and left the house.
"Then I'll go with you."
When Chu Yue saw Lu Xinghe leaving the room, she hurriedly waved her hands and said, "You don't need to follow me. I can go by myself. You still have to read. You have to take the college exam at the beginning of next year, so you have to write a few more articles now that you have time." .”
Lu Xinghe couldn't help but stepped forward and took the bamboo pole from Chu Yue's hand, took her hand out of the house, and closed the door behind him.
"The scientific examination relies more on accumulation, insights and vision. It is not just about memorizing a few books and writing a few articles to succeed. After all, it doesn't take long to harvest the fruits. After harvesting the fruits, we will go to the old house together. Help mom."
Chu Yue felt that what Lu Xinghe said made sense, "My husband is right, I think you will definitely pass the exam next year."
The corners of Lu Xinghe's lips raised slightly, "Are you so confident in me?"
"I just believe you."
"Then what if you don't pass the exam?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam. Just try harder next time."
Lu Xinghe smiled, tightened the little hand he held in his hand, and walked towards the direction where he remembered the fruit trees.
