Chapitre 30: Chapter 30
After leaving Tian Heng's gang, Shen Lang rushed back to his parents' house.
His parents and brother had been waiting for him. When he was still at the foot of the mountain, his mother could not wait to welcome him.
"My son, how is Miss Count House treating you?" His mother asked eagerly.
Shen Lang said, "She is very good to me."
His mother said, "Then I can rest assured."
Two warriors from the Count House moved boxes of gifts home. There were cloth, rice, meat, and a lot of medicinal herbs.
Mulan was very careful. She knew that Shen Lang's father and brother were injured, so she prepared a lot of medicine and tonics.
Then, Shen Lang took out 300 gold coins and gave it to his father. "Use this money to build a new house for us. Use good bricks and tiles."
His father's face changed slightly. "Dalang, you are now a member of the Count House. As your parents, it's okay for us to eat and drink a little, but we can't take the Count House's money. We can't let the Count House think that you are spending money outside. It will ruin your reputation."
His father's words were very euphemistic. To put it more bluntly, he was worried that Shen Lang would have a reputation of being a traitor.
Shen Lang smiled. "These gold coins are not from the Count House. I earned them myself."
His father said, "How did you earn it?"
Shen Lang said, "I invented a new dye formula and sold it to a big silk merchant in the city. I didn't dare to use it before. Now that I am the son-in-law of the Count House, I can use this money without worry. "
Of course, Shen Lang could not tell his parents that the money was from Tian Heng. If that was the case, his parents would not dare to use it.
Even so, his father was still very hesitant. He had spoiled Shen Lang since he was a child. He really could not use his money.
Shen Lang said, "Build a big house. It will be good for me when I come back. If Mulan comes back with me, she can't live in this thatched house, right?"
These words immediately made his father determined to build a new house, a big house.
Although he felt that the daughter of the Count House would never come to his house, if she did, he couldn't let his wife have no place to stay and his son lose face.
"Building a big house would only cost a dozen or so gold coins. Why would we need three hundred gold coins?" Father said.
To be honest, he had never even touched a gold coin before. Previously, he had only used copper coins. At the very most, he had used silver coins.
If you went to the market to buy things, people wouldn't be able to give you change if you used gold coins.
When building a house in the countryside, even if it was a big brick house with five or six rooms, the best black bricks and the best slate would be used. Together with a large courtyard and walls, it would cost less than a hundred gold coins.
Shen Lang said, "The house has to be big and imposing. The walls have to be thick and high."
"Alright," his father said.
His younger brother, Shen Jian, looked at Shen Lang eagerly. He had always been a ruffian at the bottom of the society. Now that his elder brother had become the son-in-law of the Count House, he had long wanted to leave this small village and go out to see the world.
Shen Lang said, "Rest well. When your body recovers, I will take you out. I will definitely let you have a bright future."
"Ah!" His younger brother was overjoyed. "When I become strong, I will marry Widow Liu."
His dream was still as ambitious as ever.
Next, his mother made a sumptuous lunch, even though it was already afternoon.
Shen Lang enjoyed the meal with his family.
His mother invited the two warriors from the Count House to eat together, but they refused. After moving things, they went out and took out two big cakes for lunch.
This was a form of respect, but to some extent, it was also a form of alienation. They didn't want to be too close to Shen Lang's family.
Although they were willing to risk their lives to protect Shen Lang, they still looked down on him in their hearts. Shen Lang couldn't order them around.
Of course, Shen Lang didn't mean to be cold to them. If they didn't want to come in for lunch and wanted to eat outside, then so be it.
Even when his mother wanted to make tea for them, Shen Lang said no and gave each of them a bowl of cold plain water.
Shen Lang made a decision in his heart.
He needed to have his own confidants. He didn't need many, just one or two strong ones. When they heard Shen Lang's order, they could rush forward without hesitation.
Moreover, if Shen Lang had something to do, he didn't need to do it himself. He could just send someone to do it.
It was embarrassing to have to do everything himself.
It didn't matter how many subordinates he had. Loyalty and ability were the most important.
…
Next, Shen Lang brewed medicine for his father to consume. Then, he applied new medicine on his younger brother's broken bones and bandaged it with a clean cloth.
His parents almost greedily enjoyed all this warmth and happiness.
Their most beloved eldest son had actually become so filial and sensible. Everything was just too wonderful.
The sun was gradually setting in the west. Shen Lang officially said goodbye to his parents and returned to the Count House.
His mother's eyes were filled with tears, but they were full of smiles as she watched Shen Lang leave.
"Dalang, something happened to the Big Fool. He's not in good condition. Go and see him."
Before leaving, his mother couldn't help but say.
The Big Fool was Shen Lang's only friend and had protected him since he was a child.
In order to protect Shen Lang, his younger brother, Shen Jian, fought with others. The Big Fool protected Shen Lang and took a beating for him.
…
When Shen Lang passed by the Maple Leaf Village on his way to the Big Fool's house, the villagers pointed at him and hid behind the door to watch the show.
The way they looked at Shen Lang was incomparably complicated.
They didn't expect that the useless Shen Lang would soar to the sky and become the son-in-law of the Count House.
The Second Fool that they looked down on before was now high and mighty, becoming a figure that the villagers couldn't look up to.
They were envious, jealous, and hateful!
However, when Shen Lang's gaze landed on them, all of them had a flattering smile on their faces.
However, they also speculated maliciously in their hearts that Shen Lang was driven out by the Xu family before. Maybe he would soon be driven out by the Count House and return to his thatched cottage on the mountain dejectedly.
These villagers were simple and honest, but they were also very cunning.
They were compassionate, but they didn't want others to live too well.
It would be best if you lived worse than me. Then I can help you once or twice occasionally, so that my kindness can be satisfied and I can gain a sense of accomplishment.
Shen Lang was completely swaggering through the streets. He didn't have the slightest intention to stop and ask about these people's well-being.
He wasn't the emperor who needed to act like Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.
Shen Lang's family was an outsider. In addition, he was beautiful and had a mental problem before, so he had low intelligence.
Therefore, the people in the village not only looked down on him, but they even bullied and isolated him.
Since he was a child, many children in the village bullied Shen Lang.
Every time this happened, the Big Fool would use his strong body to block stones for Shen Lang. Once, it was even feces.
The Big Fool was the same as the previous Shen Lang, with a low IQ.
In other words, the Big Fool was more like the male lead in "Forrest Gump". He was more simple and simple-minded.
He was abnormal from the moment he was born. When he gave birth, he weighed a full 12 pounds.
After giving birth to him, the Big Fool's mother passed away due to dystocia.
After landing, the Big Fool's head suddenly grew.
Even if he didn't have enough to eat every day, when he was 18 years old, he actually grew to 2.1 meters, like a giant.
He didn't know why it was like this. His parents were normal people, but he was different from ordinary people.
The Big Fool ate a lot every day, but he also worked very hard. He could do the work of three or four laborers, and he was very strong.
In short, he was gifted and extraordinary.
Although he was very strong and had super strength, the Big Fool had always been harmless. He had an honest face, pure eyes, and never fought.
When someone hit him, he would just turn around and expose his back to them. He would not fight back at all.
When Shen Lang was beaten, he would protect Shen Lang in his arms and then turn his back to let others hit him.
The Big Fool didn't have a good life. Three years after his mother passed away, his father married a stepmother and gave birth to a younger brother.
Since then, the Big Fool seemed to have been picked up. If it wasn't for him being able to work, he probably wouldn't even have food to eat.
Of course, even if he could work, he wouldn't have enough to eat every day. His stepmother only gave him corn rice, and the amount was fixed. Most of the time, he was hungry.
…
His mother said that something had happened to the Big Fool, so Shen Lang rushed to the Big Fool's house.
Shen Lang came to the Big Fool's house. His family's conditions were good. His father was a famous hunter and also the leader of the Maple Leaf Village Army, so he lived in a brick house with three big rooms and a courtyard wall.
"Where's the Big Fool?"
After entering his house, Shen Lang didn't see the Big Fool, only his stepmother and younger brother.
Seeing Shen Lang, the Big Fool's stepmother was stunned and said, "Second Fool, why are you here?"
Then she quickly covered her mouth because Shen Lang was dressed luxuriously and had two warriors with him.
"The Big Fool went to work." The Big Fool's stepmother said, "Shen Lang, what's the matter?"
Went to work? Didn't his mother say something happened to him?
"Where is he working? I'll go find him." Shen Lang said, "Also, I'll give your family a sum of money. You have to let him eat his fill every day, understand?"
Then, he took out a bag of money. There were fifty silver coins in it.
When Shen Lang fully established himself in the Count House, he would take his younger brother, Shen Jian, and the Big Fool with him. But now, the Big Fool still needed to stay at home for a while. Even if one-tenth of this money was used on the Big Fool, it would be enough to let him eat his fill.
The Big Fool's stepmother's eyes lit up. She quickly took the bag of money and nodded desperately. "Shen Lang, don't worry. I'll definitely let Da Zhuang eat his fill every day. I'll even give him meat. Dalang, you're still promising and have a conscience. You don't forget your friends even when you're rich."
The Big Fool's half-brother saw Shen Lang's wealth and was instantly jealous. He sneered and said, "Big Fool? I'm afraid he's already dead and was thrown into the ravine. "
As soon as these words came out, Shen Lang's expression changed. He quickly rushed out of the Big Fool's house.
…
A quarter of an hour later, in a ravine, Shen Lang saw the abandoned Big Fool.
He was so thin that he was only skin and bones. He was on the verge of death and covered in blood.
The 2.1-meter-tall expert was so thin that only his skeleton was left. His chest was shockingly swollen, and there were obvious signs of broken bones.
But his eyes were still pure. After seeing Shen Lang, his eyes even showed joy. He weakly shouted, "Two Fool, you're here? I missed you so much! "
"Yes, I'm here." Shen Lang's eyes were burning. "What happened to you? Why are you so miserable?"
The Big Fool said, "My younger brother was naughty. He provoked a big bug on the mountain. I tried to save him, but the bug slapped me a few times. Several of my bones were broken and I vomited blood. Father didn't have money to treat him, so he left me here. "
As soon as these words came out, Shen Lang couldn't help but cry.
Bastard, beast!
Really, where there's a stepmother, there's a stepfather.
This younger brother of the Big Fool was not a good guy. He bullied him and Shen Lang every day. He would either throw dirt into the Big Fool's food, pee in the Big Fool's bed, steal money and frame the Big Fool's head, peep at women or bathing and frame the Big Fool.
Even so, the Big Fool still protected this younger brother.
Now, in order to save this bastard, his younger brother was injured by a tiger, and his father actually left him here to die.
He was worse than a beast.
