Chapter 125 Showing His Power
It’s a bit nonsense to say that Ma San’s mother was so vicious that she watched her man die.
Most of them are poor and ignorant.
Even the neighbors in the yard did not attribute Lao Ma’s death entirely to the old woman.
Now Yang Ruihua's statement has revealed the truth.
Yang Ruihua said this angrily, and Ma San's mother's crying stopped abruptly. Yang Ruihua also stopped insulting her, and instead looked at Ma San's mother nervously.
It is said that there must be something hateful about a pitiful person, but it is not clear whether he is hateful or not, but the pitifulness is clearly before our eyes.
The Ma family was poor and dilapidated, Ma San's mother was shabby in clothes, and she was blind.
This made Yang Ruihua feel compassion.
Killing someone is like destroying their heart. Yang Ruihua was afraid that his words just now were too harsh and might really drive Ma San's mother into a desperate situation.
Yang Ruihua took two steps back and Yan Bugui stepped forward. Yang Ruihua realized that she had said something wrong, but Yan Bugui helped her to change it.
The couple's cooperation is so smooth.
Yan Bugui took two steps forward and coughed dryly, attracting everyone's attention to him.
Then Yan Bugui said to Ma San's mother: "Sister-in-law, our family has not thought about how to deal with your family.
Do you know what people in the market would do when they encounter something like this?
That is a life-and-death feud.
If my Yan family really wants to settle a dispute with your Ma family, we should go and find trouble with Ma San now.
……
Alas, we all live in the same yard, so let’s just leave it at that for now.
Sister-in-law, please think more about Ma San. At least he still has a job and is in good health.
As long as you work hard, your life will get better and better.
If you can't find a wife in the city, spend a little more money to find a good one in the countryside.
For example, Xiao Jia’s wife, everyone in the alley praises her.
But you have to walk the right path, or your neighbors won’t tolerate you.”
Yan Bugui was afraid that Ma San's mother would end up in a desperate situation, so he started to talk about Ma San.
Ma San's mother also understood Yan Bugui's meaning. First, this matter was over and there would be no next time. Second, it pointed out a clear way for the Ma family. If they couldn't find a wife in the city, they could go to the countryside.
Don’t blame Ma Sanjia for not thinking of this, as there is clearly the precedent of Qin Huairu.
But this is how things are. It’s not that I didn’t think about it, but I was reluctant to spend the money and couldn’t find the way to do it.
Because of Ma San's reputation, no matchmaker would be willing to take on his business without spending a lot of money.
Ma San followed Yan Bugui, wanting to find out about Yan's family's business, but his only purpose was to make quick money.
But now Yan Bugui has blocked this road.
Just like Yan Bugui said just now, this is the last time, otherwise the neighbors in the yard will not tolerate the Ma family next time.
This is not just talk. If it really arouses public anger, it is possible that all the neighbors will work together to drive the Ma family out of the yard.
To put it bluntly, the Ma family does not have the confidence of the He family.
The He family’s house is their own, but the Ma family’s house is a rental house arranged by the street.
Whatever He Yuzhu says and does is right, and his master and fellow brothers give the He family confidence.
None of them can compare to the Ma family.
Ma San's mother also thought of this and stopped crying. Instead, she knelt down and kowtowed twice in the direction of the Yan family.
The knees of the poor are worthless. Sometimes, one can only exchange one's dignity for the forgiveness of others.
The Yan couple dodged and did not accept Ma San's mother's kneeling thanks.
This matter is over now. All in all, Yan Bugui did gain some fame in the courtyard because of this incident.
Especially Yan Bugui’s last paragraph, which is reasonable and coherent.
But for those who kept going in and out of Yan's house afterwards, it seemed that they were all there for Yan Bugui's profitable business.
Yan Bugui was not unprepared. He mentioned two points. One was that the business was too big for ordinary people to handle.
Second, the client was from another place, and Yan Bugui was just making a connection for him. It would not happen again this time, and Yan Bugui was just making some money for running errands. Once this was said, it stopped everyone from coveting it.
But the news that Yan Bugui made money through business spread all over the streets.
This is not a problem for the time being.
But five or six years later, the Yan family was classified as small property owners, and only then did Yan Bugui regret it. (Note ①)
After He Yuzhu confronted Yan Bugui, he watched the Ma family's performance from beginning to end.
To be honest, He Yuzhu was very sad.
He Yuzhu's nature is that he can't stand people who are weaker than him. He cried in front of him and lost the last dignity of being a human being.
But He Yuzhu had to watch, he had to harden his heart.
See through the deservingness and darkness hidden behind the pity and misery.
Because He Yuzhu knew that if things in the world did not change, there would be many more such situations in the future.
During those years of hunger and after Jia Dongxu's death, there were countless poor people like this, not just Qin Huairu.
Ma San has been hiding at home and dared not go out.
Ma San also knew what Yan Bugui said.
If you want to steal other people's business in the market, it depends on whether you have the ability to deal with the possible consequences.
Naturally, we are not afraid of big businessmen stealing the business of small businessmen.
But for someone like Ma San, if the Yan family was a little more ruthless, they might hire someone to break his legs.
At the very least, the Ma family must be destroyed.
So when Ma San heard the shouting and cursing outside, he just asked his mother to go out and deal with it, while he himself stayed at home in fear.
When the matter was over and the Yan family left, Ma San came out and helped his mother up. But he felt someone looking at him, and when he looked up, it was He Yuzhu who was sitting on the doorstep.
He Yuzhu looked at Ma San with interest, but at this time Ma San did not dare to conflict with He Yuzhu. He lowered his head, helped his mother up and walked towards his home.
Ma San's family was quite quick in execution. Ma San carried his mother out two or three times. In less than a week, Ma San led a girl with a big face into the yard.
Apart from being a little thin and having thick eyebrows and big eyes, he doesn't look like someone who is difficult to talk to.
It was naturally impossible to hold a wedding banquet. According to insiders, the Ma family paid a huge price to get this daughter-in-law.
The commission and wedding money alone for the matchmaker was 50,000 yuan, and there was also money given to the girl's family.
Anyway, it is much more than the betrothal gift that Jia Dongxu gave when he married Qin Huairu.
Things in the world are so strange. The better off a person is, the less money he or she has to spend on finding a partner.
On the contrary, if a poor person wants to find a wife, he will even have to give up three layers of soil at home.
But there are also some benefits. For example, Qin Huairu's parents are always thinking about Qin Huairu. Of course, they not only care about her, but also hope that Qin Huairu will care about her parents.
As for Ma San’s wife, we basically lost contact and didn’t even come to see her off.
This means that Ma San’s wife will no longer have anything to do with her natal family.
Note ①: The city division took place in 56.
The purpose of writing this paragraph is to talk about the helplessness and despair of the poor, and the calculations that arise from despair. To put it bluntly, if the Ma family had been given slightly better conditions, her family would not have been like that.
Someone like Qin Huairu, it’s not that her conditions are bad, she’s just bad.
This is just my personal opinion, please forgive me if there are any shortcomings.
