Chapter 545 Iron Pillar
Chapter 545 Iron Pillar
If it weren't for the big guy being smoked, they would all want to use urine to relieve the pain.
"This thing is delicious, but it must be paired with rice and steamed buns." He licked his dry lips and said, "If I had known not to eat so much, I'd be so thirsty now."
One older man felt distressed: "I asked you to eat so much, but you didn't save any. Now look, you've finished all these cans today. What are you going to eat tomorrow?"
"Hmph, do we still have tomorrow? How could those bastards be so kind as to let us go? Guan Zi is right, if we are going to die, we'd rather die of gluttony." After saying that, he lay down on the weed bed, still savoring the taste of the canned food from time to time.
"I don't know how my wife is doing now! What will happen to her if I die?" Tears fell from the corners of the man's eyes. He was not afraid of death, but he was worried about his wife at home.
The man's name is Tiezhu. He is the second child in the family. Because his parents are partial to his younger brother, all the good things go to his younger brother. Over time, the younger brother developed a lazy and gluttonous character. He never went to the fields to earn work points. All he did all day was eat and sleep, or wander around, idling and doing nothing, because he knew that even if he didn't work, he would not starve as long as his parents were alive.
The eldest daughter is a daughter who has been married for many years. Because she has never felt warmth at home, she has never returned to her parents' home since she got married. Even during the holidays, she pretends that her parents' home does not exist.
I even went to make a scene because of this matter, but that family was not someone to be trifled with, so we had a falling out right away.
Without the eldest brother's help, the burden of the family fell on Tiezhu alone. He went out early and came back late every day to do farm work, but the food ration allocated to him was only a little. He argued, but his parents pressured him with filial piety, or said that his younger brother was still young, "If you eat so much, what will your younger brother eat?"
As a result, he was almost 30 years old, and his family had no intention of finding a wife for him. They said they were saving money to find a good wife for the third son. They completely treated him as a tool. Although they were both biological children, the difference between them was huge.
He endured it all silently until one day he fell seriously ill. His parents were very stingy with their money and were reluctant to spend a penny on him, saying that he should just bear with it and it would pass. Why waste money on it when the medicine was so expensive...
Because of this incident, Tiezhu saw his parents clearly and felt heartbroken. He suddenly understood why his elder sister broke off relations with the family.
He was lucky to have a son. Old Wang next door felt sorry for him and gave him some medicine when no one was at home. It was a Chinese medicine that Old Wang had taken when he was sick. Now he just wanted to give it a try.
It was because of Lao Wang's good deed that his life was saved.
He could no longer endure the thankless life of working like a slave at home. He had no time to endure it any longer, so he had a big quarrel with his extremely biased parents and resolutely left home despite his parents' objections. He only took a few sets of clothes and ten dollars, which was his private money saved for many years.
He was quite strong and could make a living by moving goods at the dock. He also rented a single room with only a wooden bed, and the monthly bill including water and electricity was about one dollar.
Without a family of vampires, life is hopeful and all the salary is saved as money for a wife.
Although he was a little tired, he became more and more energetic and worked with great enthusiasm. The foreman took special care of him because he was honest and hardworking.
One day, a large batch of goods arrived at the dock. It was already very late when the goods were moved. In addition to daily wages, each person was given two steamed buns as hard work fee.
Dragging his tired body home, Tiezhu found a girl lying on the roadside, her life or death unknown.
Tiezhu was a kind-hearted man, so he went up to the other person and checked his breath without thinking, and found that he was breathing.
But there are differences between men and women. He was afraid that if he had physical contact with the girl, it would affect her reputation. After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to take care of this matter.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Not only would her body be unable to bear it, but if she met a bad guy, she would be in even greater danger.
When he carried the girl on his back, he felt that she was very light. He didn't feel anything on her back. She even hurt his back.
After returning to the rental house, he gave her the only remaining wooden bed and found a newspaper to spread on the ground and sat on it. He had worked for the whole afternoon and had not eaten yet, and was already hungry. He took out two steamed buns, thought about it and left one for the girl, and ate the steamed bun with a mouthful of water.
Although he was not full, Tiezhu did not think of eating another steamed bun.
There was a well in the yard. He drew some water from the well and washed his body casually. He then found a wooden board in the yard. Although it was not very wide, it was just enough for him to lie on his side. That would be it for tonight. Tomorrow, when the girl woke up, she would have to leave. Thinking of this, he carried the board home carefully.
Suddenly there was a sound in the middle of the night, and Tiezhu was woken up in a daze. He rubbed his eyes and sat up.
The room was pitch black, and suddenly there was a "bang"! Then there was an "Ouch!"
Tiezhu was awake by then. He quickly got up and turned on the light based on his memory.
The room suddenly lit up, and the girl was terrified when she saw the iron pillar.
Knowing that the girl might have misunderstood, Tiezhu quickly explained: "Don't be afraid, girl. I'm a good person. I saved you when you fainted on the side of the road."
The girl calmed down and looked at Tiezhu timidly. He was tall and strong. He smiled at her foolishly, scratched his head embarrassedly, and didn't even dare to look her in the eye.
Looking around, the room was very small. Apart from a bed, there were some pots, pans, clothes and other sundries piled up in the corner.
Where the big man was standing, there was a narrow wooden board.
She couldn't help but feel grateful. She was kicked out of the house by her sister-in-law and fainted on the roadside because she was too hungry. She never thought she would meet such a good person.
Her stomach was rumbling like an empty city stratagem at this moment. The situation was awkward for a moment and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Tiezhu didn't mean to laugh at her. The girl was too thin, like a piece of human skin wrapped around bones.
"Girl, I've left a steamed bun for you at the bedside. I'll go get you a cup of hot water." Tiezhu is a man of action. The water in the kettle was boiled before he went out this morning, and it is still a little hot.
"Thank you..." The girl was full of gratitude, her voice like a little kitten.
Since her parents passed away one after another, her sister-in-law has become more and more unscrupulous, and her brother is a henpecked man. The house is controlled by her sister-in-law. It was originally her parents' house, but in the end she became an outsider and has lived a dependent life ever since.
My father passed away due to illness. My mother was heartbroken and passed away within half a year. The once loving family was shattered.
After both parents passed away, my sister-in-law was still not satisfied even though she only did the laundry and cooked at home. She felt uncomfortable all over whenever she saw her.
From the cold words at the beginning, he even refused to let her sit at the table for meals, fearing that the girl would cheat on him. He would also lock the kitchen every time he went out.
