Chapter 10 Breaking the Leg of the Gambler's Son (10)
After paying off the debt, Rong Li planned to go home and never thought of staying.
The village chief and others accompanying him were not as calm as Rong Li. This was the first time in their lives that they had been looked at with such admiration.
Although he knew that these people were not looking at them, Rong Li came from Damancun, his affairs were Damancun's affairs, and his glory naturally belonged to Damancun.
As villagers, they can take advantage of both inside and outside. If others are envious, they can only hate that they are not from Daman Village.
It's not that Rong Li doesn't know the thoughts of the village chief and others, he has no objection to this. This was the case in ancient times, where everyone is prosperous and everyone suffers.
People in Daman Village had complained a lot because of the gambling incident involving the Honorable Ancestor. After all, it was not a good thing to hear, and it would make them lose face when they went out.
Now that Rong Li killed such a big tiger, he shocked everyone and also made the village chief angry. The previous resentment also dissipated and was replaced by pride.
It can make the villagers feel proud, and by boosting their reputation, the Rong family will naturally have an easier time in the village in the future.
After watching Rong Li and his entourage leave, the people in the town were still whispering. There was a tiger at the entrance of the gambling shop. How could they resist the urge to talk?
Especially when you see the strong men in the gambling house struggling to move the tiger, compared to the ease with which B Rong Li dragged it with one hand, it is even more shocking to see Rong Li's strength.
"Glory Ancestor's father is a cruel man!"
"Don't dare to mess with it."
"What's the point of having a tough father? If the son doesn't live up to his expectations, the family won't be able to survive."
Recalling the crazy behavior of Ancestor Glory wandering around gambling houses, everyone nodded in agreement and became less fearful of the Rong family.
Back in the village, Rong Li thanked the village chief and others for accompanying him, then dispersed and returned home.
Mrs. Liu had already prepared hot water. When she saw Rong Li coming back, she hurriedly asked him to take a bath.
Rong Li wanted to take off her clothes behind Liu's back, but Liu refused. She had to see it with her own eyes to truly believe that Rong Li was not injured.
Rong Li closed his eyes and asked Liu to check it over and over again. The 111 system laughed out loud in his consciousness, "Hahaha, you are shy!"
"We are both singles, so why bother fighting?" Rong Li said bluntly.
"..." The 111 system stopped talking. You are cruel!
After Mrs. Liu treated the small wounds on Rong Li's face and body, she took another quick look before carrying Rong Li's clothes out.
Rong Li was completely submerged into the large wooden barrel. After struggling for so long, he was finally able to relax.
After taking a shower and getting dressed, the two daughters-in-law of the village chief's family came over to deliver food. There was still money left over from Rong Li's previous payment, and the village chief's family couldn't take advantage of this.
It's just that the two women who usually greeted Rong Li politely when they saw him were like quails, hurriedly setting out the food, carrying an empty basket, and ran away without looking back.
Rong Li blinked, okay, it's better to be feared than to be despised.
Ms. Liu had already put on her usual clothes, with a smile on her face. For her, it was better for her family to live a peaceful life than anything else. She just hoped that Honorable Ancestor would stop being bad and live a peaceful life.
"It's getting late, let's eat." Rong Li said, giving Mr. Liu a piece of tofu with chopsticks, and then glanced at Rong Anzu, who had been as silent as a sawed-off gourd since he came back. After thinking about it, he gave
The other party took some green vegetables.
"Dad..." Rong Rongzu didn't expect that Rong Li would pay attention to him. He looked at the vegetables in the bowl and his eyes turned red.
"Eat." Rong Li ignored the fragility of Honor Ancestor at this time and said before picking up the food.
Mrs. Liu looked at Rong Li while eating, and so did Glory Ancestor, except that the former looked openly and openly, while Glory Ancestor looked like a gopher, raising his head and lowering his head.
Rong Li was a little helpless and had to finish the meal quickly, otherwise the two women would not be able to eat it.
After dinner, Rong Li and Mrs. Liu washed the dishes and sent them back to the village chief's house, then closed the door and talked.
"Ayu, you've worked hard these days." Rong Li knew that Mr. Liu was worried and scared at home and must be under a lot of pressure, so he felt comfortable comforting her.
"It's not bitter. As long as the head of the family can come back safely, I won't be bitter at all." Mrs. Liu said, with a tear falling from the corner of her eyes. She was so decisive when she decided to sacrifice her husband before, and now she is so happy that her family is intact.
alive.
Rong Li wiped Mrs. Liu's tears, and Mrs. Liu said again: "Master, please don't go there after this Manshan."
Rong Li had no intention of ever coming into contact with the wild beasts in the mountains. After all, his purpose in going to the mountains was to find a reasonable excuse to pay off the debts of the Rong family.
Therefore, he gave Mr. Liu a guarantee that he would not fight for his life in Manshan again and that he would take good care of himself for the sake of this family.
After receiving the promise, Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Rong Li's expression, she understood that he had something to say to the ancestor of Rong Rong, so she excused herself to mend clothes and freed up the land for the two men.
After Mr. Liu left, Rong Li turned his attention to Ancestor Glory. Ancestor Glory was startled, his back tensed, his hands clenched, and his face looked frightened like a prisoner about to go to the execution ground.
"Dad has paid off the gambling debt you owed, but the matter is not over yet." Rong Li stood up and looked at Honor Ancestor condescendingly.
Ancestor Glory subconsciously touched his leg. Did his father want to break his other leg?
But I heard Rong Li say: "Father said before, this is the only time, and next time, I would rather be extinct than recognize you as my son."
"Dad, I..." Rong Rongzu's heart tightened, and he wanted to say something in a panic, but Rong Li waved his hand to stop him, so he had to try his best to control the anxiety in his heart.
"If you don't see a doctor, your foot can be fine if you take good care of it. It's just a little lame when you walk, but as long as it doesn't hinder your work, it's not a big deal." Rong Li said, glancing at Honorzu's leg.
Glory Zu swallowed his saliva and did not dare to say anything. He always felt that his father was regretting not breaking his legs.
"Dad is a lame, but a lame dad can take on the responsibility of supporting the family and hunt tigers to pay off your debts. Even if you, a little cripple, can't compare to dad, you can't lose too much. At least you have to find a job to support yourself.
"
"When you can walk, you will go to the town with your father to find work, and you will eat as much as you can. Dad will not support you anymore."
"Moreover, if you dare to touch half the dice again, and dare to behave like before, causing trouble in the family, I don't mind a righteous act of annihilation, and I will send you to see your grandpa in advance!"
What Rong Li said was incredible, but Ancestor Glory believed it to be true. Rong Li was a ruthless man who could even kill a tiger, but he was just killing an unworthy son, so what's the problem?
Thinking of the way Rong Li broke his leg, Rong Zu didn't dare to take any chances. He had clearly realized that the father who had indulged him in every possible way had completely changed and it was impossible to change back again.
Therefore, even though he was unwilling to work in every possible way, Ancestor Glory did not say no, he only nodded obediently and said that he would do a good job.
Of course, Rong Li didn't expect to save Honor Ancestor's three views all at once. He had to take his time and choose whether his methods should be harsh or soft based on his specific performance.
In the following days, the Rong family was very peaceful. Ancestor Rong Rong recovered from his injuries, Rong Li went to work in the fields, and Mrs. Liu took care of the housework. The family seemed to be back to the way it was in the past.
However, the villagers' interest remained undiminished. Some eloquent people even compiled different versions of the story of Rong Li's tiger attack. They spread the story from ten to ten, and even the county heard about it.
Those rich kids who encouraged Rong Rong's ancestors to gamble were completely panicked, fearing that Rong Li would come to visit them.
