The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Chapter 843 Good and Bad

The cripple raised his eyebrows, put down his wine glass, and asked, "Do you want your son to be a teacher?"

"Ah, Second Brother Ma is now the leading sculptor in One Finger Village. Isn't it just a matter of arranging for his nephew to go to work?" Meng Changming said.

Lame Ma squinted his eyes, took a deep breath, suppressed the fire in his heart, and said, "It's okay to be a teacher."

"Really? Then thank you second brother! I'll just say, if you have something to ask second brother, be sure!" Meng Changming was overjoyed, and was about to pour wine for the crippled horse, but was stopped by the crippled horse.

Ma Lizi continued: "If you want to be a teacher, you can. However, it depends on your son's talent. Let's talk about it first. If you can't even pass my test, then you can be an apprentice for the rest of your life." .”

"Ah?" Hearing this, Meng Changming's smile froze on his face. He knows best what his son's virtues are, he can't endure hardships, and he can't suffer offences. This time he said he came to learn sculpture, but he knows very well that he probably won't be able to learn anything. He didn't really send Meng Dezi here to learn this skill. But from the very beginning, he came to school! If he had followed Ma Lizi's request, it is estimated that his son would have been an apprentice for the rest of his life.

When Ma Jiangping heard this, she quit. She frowned and said, "Second brother, you... you are saying that you are out of touch? Who is Dezi? That is your nephew, you can't just ignore it, right?"

Lame Ma glanced at Ma Jiangping and said, "It's because he is my nephew that I'm stricter. Otherwise, you won't even be able to get in!"

Ma Jiangping and Meng Changming froze in place immediately. How should they go on?

Ma Jiangping took a deep breath, tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "Second brother, we are relatives for many years if we don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face. The child is so old, so he can't just do something right? Just help me out." , put the child in, isn't it over?"

The cripple made a cut, and said in a strange way: "Do you know what this school teaches?"

"Teaching sculpture? Or what else?" Ma Jiangping replied.

Boom!

The lame horse slapped the table and stood up! Scared by this, Meng Dezi shook his hand, and the chopsticks fell to the table with a bang.

Seeing this, the lame man looked down on Meng Dezi even more, and said angrily: "You also know that he taught carving, but you don't know what kind of conduct your son is? You can't read a basket of big characters, and you can't even hold a chopstick. Do you want to become a teacher directly? If you really want to send him to be a teacher, it’s nothing to lose face like a cripple, but what can I do to explain to my fellow villagers when I lose face? It’s still the same sentence, either stay As an apprentice, I go up to the mountain to chop a hundred cold bamboos every day, and I am not allowed to eat if I can’t complete the task! If you like it, don’t do it, don’t do it!”

Hearing this, Meng Dezi subconsciously shouted: "Who did this?"

As soon as these words came out, the cripple almost slapped him in the face with the rice bowl! But in the end, he held back and sat there without saying a word, and ate in a muffled voice.

This meal was extremely boring.

After dinner, Ma Jiangping went to wash the dishes, and the room became even more stuffy.

Until the afternoon, Ma Jiangping didn't know what they were talking about with Meng Changming, and then suddenly changed her face, approached with a smile, and started chatting with the crippled horse again. Talk about childhood, talk about parents. There is no mention of Meng Dezi being a teacher.

Lame Ma thought that Ma Jiangping had realized the bottom line, and he was also relieved.

After all, they are relatives, after all, they are childhood playmates, so we chatted, and our mood improved a lot.

In the evening, Ma Jiangping also drank some wine, crying on the wine table... While crying, she said, "Second brother, why do you think my life is so hard?"

The lame horse was also a little overwhelmed, so he could only comfort him.

Ma Jiangping spoke out all her misfortunes like a chatterbox, such as her husband's incompetence, her son's stupidity, her family's life is hard, and she is about to die, etc... She also said that she was sick and didn't know what to do. How many years have you lived. Now, there is no money to see a doctor. Sending children to study is powerless and so on...

Lame Ma was dizzy after being told by Ma Jiangping, thinking of his miserable days, he had a feeling of being connected with fate.

It wasn't until the next day that Ma Jiangping left Ma Cripple's house with 20,000 yuan. As he walked, Meng Changming complained: "Jiang Ping, your second brother is not good enough. He was blown up by others. He is in Yizhi Village. How powerful, what kind of master sculptor... Let him arrange a job for our children, master shit."

Daughter-in-law Peng Xueyu also said: "If you want me to say, he just has the ability not to help, what kind of relative is this."

Ma Jiangping said: "Hey, this man, he forgets his roots when he is a bit capable. I have to talk to other people when I go back. This man really can't pay."

"Mom, when are you going to pay back the money?" Meng Dezi asked Ma Jiangping.

Ma Jiangping glared at him and said, "What are you paying for? He is capable and rich now, so what's wrong with taking care of our relatives? The country's leaders also said that getting rich first leads to getting rich later, and he is a cripple. What's more, we are still relatives!"

Meng Changming nodded and said, "That's right, he's a bull now, and Yizhi Village is a well-known rich village in eight villages. He also has a handicraft. How can he be short of money in the future? He's not short of our money."

"That is, can feelings be measured by money?" Peng Xueyu also asked.

After talking about this, several people left One Finger Village...

And Ma Lizi sat at home, thinking about it, thinking about it, feeling uncomfortable, and always felt that this matter was not that simple. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that Ma Jiangping seemed to be drunk, but all her words revolved around one theme, that is, she is very short of money now, and she has no money. It's up to you……

Thinking of this, the lame horse yelled, "Oh! I've been fooled!"

At this time, Lame Ma understood that Ma Jiangping's family was here to reap the benefits! Why go to school to learn crafts, why go to school to be a teacher! It's all done by the way, if you can get it, you get it, if you can't get it, you borrow money! Otherwise, how could these relatives who hadn't been in touch for eight hundred years suddenly appear?

Thinking of this, Cripple Ma felt a little chilly, but he still looked in the mirror and comforted himself: "Forget it, we are all relatives. Maybe, they are really suffering? Maybe, they are not as bad as I thought?"

Thinking about it this way, the cripple's heart felt a lot better.

But when Lame Ma thought of his savings, his heart ached again. Although the life in One Finger Village is getting better and better, Lame Ma has also taken in many apprentices. But One Finger Village has only just risen after all, and the apprentices of the Crippled Horse Sect are also free, with at most two bottles of good wine to drink. So the cripple doesn't have much savings, and the 20,000 yuan is almost half of his belongings!
