443 A scholar and a farmer
Cheng huaijin was silent. His mother wasn’t innocent.
He was already 13 years old, no longer a child. His parents and brother often discussed matters in the study. His mother was with him because his grandfather was in a high position, and his brother was with him because he had always been the hope of his parents.
Therefore, his mother and brother must have known what his father had done.
“Young master Zhou, can you tell me why you are giving us this opportunity because of my sister?” Cheng huaijin asked again.
“There’s no harm in telling you. That’s because there’s someone who doesn’t want your sister to have a bad life. if you go to the capital, your family will die. that person will be sad when he finds out. If you run away, you and your sister will still have a chance. Maybe you will survive. She won’t be sad even if she knows.” Lu Yang said.
Cheng huaijin looked at Lu Zheng in surprise. He immediately thought of Gu Xin.
mr. zhou is doing this for sister xinxin?
“Thank you, young master Zhou. I understand! I still have one last question.” Cheng huaiyun let out a breath and continued.
“You can ask.” Lu Zheng’s patience was pretty good.
“You said that there’s only death. Is it because something happened on my grandfather’s side?” cheng huaijin didn’t think that lu zheng was lying to him, because lu zheng was not related to his family in any way. there was no need for him to come and save him, let alone lie to him.
“It’ll happen sooner or later. If you want to live, run. If I want to be buried with your family, I’ll go to the capital with you!” Lu Yang said.
“alright, i understand. Thank you, young master Zhou. Cheng huaijin will remember young master Zhou’s kindness today, and if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you!” Cheng huaijin thanked Lu Zheng solemnly. At this moment, he had suddenly grown from a child to an adult, making a difficult choice that only adults would make.
on one hand, it was his family, on the other, it was his life.
In the end, he took the money hidden under the floor in his room. It was his savings. Previously, his family had a falling out with the Gu family. He was afraid that his family would attack the Gu family and suppress the Gu family’s goods, so he planned to save money to buy the Gu family’s goods. There were more than a hundred taels, a Silver Note of fifty taels, and some broken silver.
He then took out the dagger from his treasure box and tied it to his pants with a rope.
He was wearing a prison uniform and it would not be nice to take too much. He took these and bowed to Lu Zheng again to thank him before leaving.
Lu Zheng sighed,”I hope this kid can escape with his sister!”
Gu shouxin jumped down from the roof and shouted,”Let’s go!”
“second uncle, this is so troublesome!” lu zheng chased after him. Can’t we just cover our faces and break the prisoners? The brother and sister are not of much use, and the soldiers will not catch them.”
Gu shouxin looked at him with disdain. “You really don’t understand this?”
Lu Zheng grinned and gave a fist salute.”Second uncle, please advise me!”
gu shouxin rolled his eyes at him. this man was getting more and more shameless! However, he still expressed his thoughts, ” “The two of us are naturally capable of breaking a prisoner, but what about in the future? zhou yuan was already thirteen years old. he was no longer a child of a few years. there were some paths that he had to walk, and some thistles and thorns that he had to cut himself. we might be able to save him once, but we can’t save him forever. He’s the son of a guilty official, so he has to learn how to turn the tables in the thorns of his path. ”
Gu shouxin’s last sentence was quite emotional. Lu Zheng could hear it and looked at Gu shouxin.
Could it be that the current second uncle was originally the son of a sinful official?
Gu shouxin patted the back of Lu Zheng’s head, causing him to stagger. He laughed and said, ” ” let’s go. one of us is a scholar, and the other is a farmer. don’t think about those great things! ”
