This Niu Dashu is an honest man on the outside but cunning on the inside. He also induces others to gamble and make profits.
Many people were deceived by him before they recognized his true face.
After being discovered by everyone in Niujia Village seven years ago, his reputation was ruined, and even Niu Miliang and his family were cast aside.
Although the Niu Miliang family originally had a poor reputation.
Niu Miliang and his old wife Chen still liked their grandson. Although they knew that he was not a good person like this, they couldn't bear to drive him out, let alone send him to the government. After thinking about it, they decided to Niu Dashu was locked up at home.
Three meals a day will be provided as usual.
How could Niu Dashu endure such a life? He stayed at home for a few days and then one night, while everyone was asleep, he secretly picked the lock and slipped out.
I ran to the county seat and started to live happily.
The first stop was to have a big meal, followed immediately by the casino.
I haven't touched the dice for so many days, and my heart has been itching for a long time.
Where did the gambling money come from? Of course it was stolen at home.
Niu Dashu knew exactly who's money box was in the house.
I went to the casino to have a good time and won a little money. Niu Dashu hummed a tune and took small steps, as happy as a god.
Just when he walked into a small alley, thinking about finding a place to drink some wine, a sack fell from the sky and was put on his head.
Before Niu Dashu could call for help, he was punched and knocked unconscious, followed by a flurry of punches that made him curl up on the ground and beg for mercy.
Unfortunately, the attacker didn't want to take advantage of him just like that. After warming up, he broke both his legs and arms.
Then he walked away.
Niu Dashu fainted from the pain.
When Niu Dashu was discovered, it was already the next morning, when he only had one breath left.
After Niu Miliang and the others discovered that Niu Dashu was missing, they also searched around, but found nothing. After all, they were surrounded by mountains. Who knew where he had gone.
Unexpectedly, someone came over the next day and said they saw Niu Dashu being beaten in the county town, leaving him with only one breath left.
The family hurried to the county seat.
Found the big cow tree on the street.
Seeing my grandson\son like this, no matter how angry I was, my anger disappeared.
They carried the unconscious Niu Dashu to the medicine shop, but after staying there for less than a few minutes, they came out with different expressions and carried Niu Dashu back to Niujia Village.
It turned out that the doctor at the drug store looked at Niu Dashu's injury and said that the injury was very serious. To cure it, he would need a lot of precious medicinal materials and cost a lot of money.
Niu Mi Liang and his family didn't have any money. As soon as they heard this, they immediately stopped planning to treat Niu Dashu.
As parents, Niu Yinqian and Mrs. Chen begged for a long time, but Niu, rice and grain were the ones who made the final decision in the family. If he said he couldn't treat it, he would definitely not treat it.
After returning to Niujia Village, Niu Dashu survived and his health gradually improved.
But because the limbs were broken before and were not properly treated, they became a disabled person.
He walks with a limp, has no strength in his hands, and cannot do any heavy work.
After knowing that his family was unwilling to treat him, Niu Dashu completely hated everyone in his family.
Including his father and mother, including the grandfather and grandma who loved him the most before.
But he also knew that he was completely useless now. If he wanted to eat, he could only rely on his family, so he didn't yell or become hysterical, but relied on his family's guilt for him. , and it started to mess up immediately.
Completely confirmed the title of useless person.
I no longer work in the fields or go out. I just lie at home all day long, on the bed, on the chair, or in the yard.
If you can sit, you will never stand. If you can lie down, you will never sit. The whole person is completely useless.
Now the reputation is even worse.
Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the almost thirty-year-old man has no one willing to act as a matchmaker for him.

When Niu Caohua passed by, a large circle of people gathered around Niu Miliang's house. People from the whole village came over to watch the fun.
There's not even a place to set foot.
Just when Niu Caohua was thinking about finding a tree nearby and climbing up to watch the excitement, Niu Xier saw her in the crowd and waved to her.
"Caohua, come to us." Several girls of the same age near Niu Xi'er were also watching the fun.
Naturally, Cowgrass Flower would not refuse this kindness and squeezed past.
"What's going on?" Niu Caohua asked Xiang Niu Xi'er.
She had just arrived and didn't know what happened.
"Niu Dashu is in trouble. He stole a piece of jade from Aunt Chun's house. Now the official is here and wants to arrest him and put him in jail." Niu Xi'er said with excitement. Obviously, he didn't go to jail for Niu Dashu at all. I feel sympathy, but I feel gloating about my misfortune.
Can you rejoice in misfortune?
Niu Dashu has been wandering around the village for so many years and has committed countless petty thefts. What's even more egregious is that he also uses words to tease the girls in the village from time to time. Niu Xi'er is pretty and pretty, so naturally he is also the target of Niu Dashu's teasing. inside.
Therefore, Niu Xier was very happy to see Niu Dashu in trouble, and wished that he would go to jail quickly.
"Is he crazy? He even dares to steal Aunt Chun's things?" Everyone in the village knows that Aunt Chun's grandson is serving as the county magistrate in the county government. It's too late to flatter him, so he dares to provoke her!
"I heard that the piece of jade is very valuable. Didn't Niu Dashu meet some friends from outside? They were the ones who instigated it." Niu Xi'er told Niu Caohua all the news he had just heard.
"...Is Niu Dashu a fool?" He acted on the prompting of others?
He was such a shrewd person before, why is he so confused now?
In the house, Niu Dashu had been chained up by the official, but the jade was not found. He searched the whole house and couldn't find it.
"Master, I really didn't steal it, you believe me." Niu Dashu was still arguing hard.
"Your accomplices have been recruited. You broke into the house and stole the jade. Where is the jade?" The officials were not easy to fool. They didn't believe a word of what Niu Dashu said.
"I really don't know, Lord, I was wronged." Niu Dashu insisted, he just didn't steal.
"Huh! If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined. Take him back to the county government office and let the adults be punished." The official did not get angry after seeing many tough-talking people, and took him directly with him, preparing to return to the county government office.
The courtyard door opened, and the onlookers immediately gave way to a path.
Several officers escorted Niu Dashu out.
It had been a long time since I had seen Niu Dashu. When Niu Caohua looked at the man with unshaven eyes, long hair, and cloudy eyes, he couldn't tell that he was only in his twenties, and looked more like an old man in his fifties or sixties.
The carriage pulled Niu Dashu away quickly, but none of Niu Dashu's family members were sad. They all looked on with cold eyes.
After so many years, they have had enough.
