After leaving Tian Heng's black-clothed gang, Shen Lang returned to his parents' home without stopping.
My parents and younger brother had been looking forward to it for a long time, and when they were still at the foot of the mountain, my mother couldn't wait to greet them.
"My son, how is Miss Earl's House treating you?" the mother asked impatiently.
Shen Lang said: "She is very good to me."
The mother said, "That mother can rest assured."
The two warriors from the Earl's House moved boxes of gifts to their homes, including cloth, rice noodles, meat, and many medicinal materials.
Mulan was very careful, knowing that Shen Lang's father and younger brother were injured, so she specially prepared a lot of wound medicines and tonics.
Then, Shen Lang took out three hundred gold coins and sent it to his father: "This money will build a new house for the family and use good bricks and tiles."
The father's expression changed slightly and said: "Dalang, you are now from the Earl's Mansion after all. As parents, it's fine for us to eat and drink a little bit, but we must not take the Earl's Mansion's money, and we must not make the Earl's Mansion feel that you are going out. Ruined your reputation."
Father's words were very euphemistic, and more bluntly, he was worried that Shen Lang would gain a reputation for eating inside and outside.
Shen Lang said with a smile: "These gold coins were not given by the Earl's House, I earned them myself."
The father said, "How did my son make money?"
Shen Lang said: "My son invented a new dye formula and sold it to a big silk merchant in the city. Before, because I didn't dare to use it, now that I have become the uncle of the Earl's Mansion, the money can be used with confidence and boldness. ."
Of course, it was impossible for Shen Lang to tell his parents that the money was blackmailed from Tian Heng, so the parents would not dare to use it.
Even so, his father was still hesitant. He had spoiled Shen Lang since he was a child, and he really couldn't use his money.
Shen Lang said: "Build a big house, and it's easy to live in when I come back. If Mulan comes back with me, it's impossible to live in this thatched house, right?"
These words suddenly made my father make up his mind, he must build a new house, a big house.
Although he felt that it was absolutely impossible for the daughter-in-law of the Earl's Mansion to come to his house, if she did, she couldn't let her daughter-in-law have no place to live and her son to lose face.
"A dozen gold coins are enough to build a big house. Where can I use three hundred gold coins?" Father said.
To be honest, he had never touched gold coins at all. All he used before were copper coins, but silver coins were the great ones.
If you go to the market to buy things, if you use gold coins, people will not be able to get money at all.
When building a house in the countryside, even if it is a large brick house with five or six rooms, use the best blue bricks and the best slate. With a large yard and a fence, it doesn't cost a hundred gold coins.
Shen Lang said: "The house must be built in a big, stylish way, the walls must be thick, and the walls must be high."
"Okay." Father said.
On the other hand, his younger brother Shen Jian looked at Shen Lang eagerly. He has always been the bottom-level rascal. Now the eldest brother has become the uncle of the Earl's Palace. He has long wanted to leave this small village and go outside to meet the world. .
Shen Lang said: "You can recuperate with peace of mind. When your body recovers, my brother will take you out, which will definitely give you a future."
"Hey!" The younger brother was overjoyed: "When I'm good enough, I'll marry Widow Liu to get started."
His ideals are still so lofty.
Next, my mother cooked a hearty lunch, even though it was already afternoon.
Shen Lang beautifully ate a meal with his family.
The mother invited the two warriors from the Earl's Mansion to have dinner together, but they refused. After moving the things, they went straight out and stood outside, taking out two flatbreads for lunch.
This is considered a kind of respect, but to a certain extent, it is also a kind of alienation, not wanting to get too close to Shen Lang's family.
Although they were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect Shen Lang, they still looked down on him in their hearts, and Shen Lang was even more unable to order them.
Of course, Shen Lang didn't mean to stick to his butt with a cold face either.
Even if the mother wanted to make tea for them, Shen Lang said no, and gave each person a bowl of cool white.
Shen Lang made a decision in his heart.
He must have his own confidant, he doesn't need much, even one or two powerful ones are enough. After hearing Shen Lang's order at the critical moment, he can rush up without hesitation.
And if Shen Lang wants to do anything, he doesn't need to go by himself, he can just send someone.
It seems embarrassing to have to do everything by yourself.
There are not many subordinates, and loyalty is the most important.
...
Next, Shen Lang boiled the medicine for his father to take, and then smeared the new medicine on the broken bone of his brother, and then re-bandaged it with a clean cloth.
Parents are almost greedy to enjoy all this warmth and happiness.
It's so beautiful that their most beloved eldest son has become so filial and sensible.
The sun gradually slanted westward, and Shen Lang officially bid farewell to his parents and wanted to return to the Earl's Mansion.
The mother had tears in her eyes, but she was full of smiles and watched Shen Lang leave.
"Dalang, something happened to Dasha, the situation is not very good, you go see him"
When she was about to leave, her mother couldn't help saying.
Dasha was Shen Lang's only friend before, and he protected him since he was a child.
In order to protect Shen Lang, the younger brother Shen Jian fought with others, and Dasha protected Shen Lang by being beaten for him.
...
Shen Lang went to Dasha's house. When passing by Maple Leaf Village, the villagers pointed and pointed all the way, hiding behind the door to watch the fun.
The eyes they looked at Shen Lang were really complicated.
I didn't expect that Shen Lang, this waste, would fly to the sky and become the son-in-law of the Earl's Mansion.
The two fools who were despised by them before, are now aloof and become a character that the villagers cannot look up to.
Jealousy envy hate ah!
However, when Shen Lang looked at them, a flattering smile appeared on everyone's face.
However, they speculated maliciously in their hearts that Shen Lang was kicked out by the Xu family before, and maybe he would be kicked out by the Earl's House soon, and returned to his thatched cottage on the mountain.
These villagers are simple and honest, but they are also very cunning.
They have empathy, but they don't want others to live too well.
The best thing is that you have a worse life than me, and then occasionally I can help you a little or two, so that my kindness can be satisfied and a sense of accomplishment.
Shen Lang was also completely swaggering, and he had no intention of stopping to greet these people.
It's not like being an emperor anymore, you need to act like Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.
Shen Lang's family is an outsider, plus he is beautiful, he had problems with his brain before, and his intelligence is low.
So the people in the village not only looked down on him, they even bullied him and isolated him.
From childhood to adulthood, many children in the village bullied Shen Lang.
At this time, Dasha would use his sturdy body to block stones for Shen Lang, and once even feces.
Dasha, like Shen Lang before, has a relatively low IQ.
In other words, Dasha is more like the male protagonist in "Forrest Gump", he is more simple and more stubborn.
He was abnormal from birth, and he weighed twelve pounds when he gave birth.
After giving birth to him, Dasha's mother died in childbirth.
After landing, Dasha's head soared.
Even if he doesn't have enough food every day, when he is eighteen years old, he grows to two meters and one meter, like a giant.
I don't know why this happened, his parents are normal people, but he is different from ordinary people.
Dasha eats a lot every day, but he also works hard. He can handle three or four labors by himself, and his strength is infinite.
In short, it is a gifted, extraordinary person.
Although he is very strong and super strong, Dasha has always been harmless to humans and animals, with a simple and honest face, pure eyes, and never fights.
When someone hits him, he turns around and exposes his back to others to hit without hitting back.
When Shen Lang was beaten, he used to protect Shen Lang in his arms, then turned his back and let others beat him.
Dasha was not doing well. Three years after his mother passed away, his father married a stepmother and gave birth to a younger brother.
From then on, Dasha seemed to have picked it up. If he hadn't been able to work, he probably wouldn't even be able to eat.
Of course, even if he could work, he couldn't get enough to eat every day. His stepmother only gave him corn rice, and the amount was prescribed. Most of the time he was hungry.
...
Mother said that something happened to Dasha, so Shen Lang hurried to Dasha's house.
Shen Lang came to the yard of Dasha's house. His family was in good condition. His father was a famous hunter, and he also served as the leader of the Maple Leaf Village Army, so he lived in a brick house with three rooms and a courtyard wall.
"What about the idiot?"
After entering his house, Shen Lang didn't see Dasha, only his stepmother and younger brother.
Seeing Shen Lang, Dasha's stepmother was taken aback and said, "Second fool, why are you?"
Immediately afterwards, she quickly covered her mouth, because Shen Lang was richly dressed and brought two samurai with him.
"Dasha went to work." Dasha's stepmother said, "Shen Lang, what's the matter with you?"
gone to work? Didn't mother say something happened to him?
"Where to work, I'll find him." Shen Lang said: "In addition, I'll give your family a sum of money, you have to feed him every day, you know?"
Then, he took out a bag of money, full of fifty silver coins.
When Shen Lang is fully established in the Earl's Mansion, he will take his younger brother Shen Jian and Dasha away together. But now Dasha still needs to stay at home for a while, even if one-tenth of this money is spent on Dasha, he will be able to eat enough.
Dasha's stepmother's eyes brightened, she quickly took the purse, and nodded desperately: "Shen Lang, don't worry, I will make Da Zhuang full every day, and give him meat, or Da Lang, you are promising, conscience, and prosperous. Don't forget your friends."
Dasha's half-brother next to him saw that Shen Lang was rich and noble, and he was immediately jealous and sneered: "Dasha? I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago and was thrown into the ravine."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Lang's expression changed, and he quickly rushed out of Dasha's house.
...
A quarter of an hour later, in a ravine, Shen Lang saw the abandoned Dasha.
He was skinny, dying, covered in blood.
The two-meter-one master was so thin that only his skeleton was left, his chest was terribly swollen, and there were obvious signs of broken bones.
But those eyes were still pure. After seeing Shen Lang, his eyes even showed joy, and he shouted weakly: "Er fool, are you here? I miss you so much!"
"Well, I'm here." Shen Lang's eyes were hot and he said, "What's the matter with you, why did you make it so miserable?"
Dasha said: "My brother was naughty and provoked a big bug on the mountain. I rescued him. He was beaten a few times by the big bug, and he broke several bones and vomited blood. Dad didn't have the money to treat it, so he put me here."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Lang's tears couldn't help but flow down.
Asshole, beast!
If there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather.
Dasha's younger brother is not a good guy. He bullies him every day, as well as Shen Lang, either throwing dirt into Dasha's meal, or urinating in Dasha's bed, or stealing money and planting it on Dasha's head, peeping/ The woman/bath was planted on Dasha's head.
Even so, Dasha still protects this younger brother.
Now in order to save this bastard brother from being injured by a tiger, his father even left him here to die.
Better than beasts.
I... kill you!
