Chapter 627: Dou E's Injustice
As soon as the children go on summer vacation, the courtyard becomes more and more lively.
That day, Li Dawa came to see He with Xiao Shitou.
"Uncle Li, Xiao Shitou, why are you here? Come and sit down."
He Lai quickly greeted.
"Kid, how come you can't even call out to others?" Li Dawa pulled Xiao Shitou.
"Come here, brother." Little Stone lowered his head and shouted.
"Haha, little Shitou, why are you still shy? When you were little and I took off your pants, you asked your grandma to beat me."
He Lai smiled.
Little Stone lowered his head in embarrassment and did not respond.
"This child is a little shy, not as lively as Nannan."
Li Dawa continued.
"Uncle Li, is there something you guys are here for?" He Lai knew that since Li Dawa brought Xiao Shitou here, there must be something going on.
"Hey, Xiao Laizi, Uncle Li won't beat around the bush with you. I'll tell you straight away. Xiao Shitou will be seventeen soon. He just graduated from junior high school and didn't get into high school. My grandfather wants to retire and wants him to take over the factory. But the kid doesn't want to be a carpenter and wants to work in a steel mill. His mother and I have tried to persuade him but it's all in vain. I can only ask you to think of a solution.
See if you can help change this guy."
Li Dawa said.
"Well, your wood processing factory is quite popular, but it is indeed a little far from our courtyard. This is not a big problem. I can solve it."
He Lai agreed.
"Really? Thank you, Brother Lai!" Xiao Shitou said happily.
"Don't be happy yet. Although this steel mill is good, the work is much more dangerous than your father's wood processing factory. You have to deal with machines and steel every day. You have no basic knowledge and you have to learn from scratch. Have you ever thought about what kind of job you will do in the steel mill?"
He Lai asked.
"Well, I don't know. I just heard from my brother that I want to work in a steel mill. My brothers and sisters are both in the steel mill, so I want to go too."
Little Stone replied.
"Okay, then ask your dad to take you to ask the first and second uncles. They are both masters of the steel mill and know how to teach you better than I do. When you have figured out what you want to do, come back to me and I will change it for you."
He Lai suggested.
"Okay, thank you, brother."
"You're welcome."
……
Xiao Shitou's matter was settled quickly. After asking Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, Xiao Shitou directly became Yi Zhonghai's apprentice and became a fitter's apprentice.
He Lai would tell stories to a group of children every day after work, such as Meng's mother moved three times, mother-in-law tattooing, breaking the loom to teach her son, Tao's mother admonishing her son, lying on the ice to catch carp, Kong Rong giving up his pears, and so on.
"Brother, this pear is for you." Wu'er handed the half-eaten pear to He Lai's mouth and deliberately turned the uneaten side towards He Lai, as if she was trying to cover up her crimes!
"Get out of the way, you heartless little thing. Can't you just give your big brother something to eat?" He Lai slapped Wu'er's butt hard.
"Hehe, brother, I can't eat anymore, please help me eat." Wu'er leaned on He Lai and said coquettishly.
"You should give it to others. I don't want to eat what you leave." He Lai said with disdain.
"Humph, forget it, I'll eat it myself. If Xiao Yinzi and the others want to eat it, I won't give it to them."
Wu'er said this proudly and continued to chew on it.
"Uncle Lai, what story are you going to tell today?" Meng'er came to He Lai and asked.
"Ah, today, let Uncle Lai think about it. Uh... Uncle Lai will tell you about "The Injustice of Dou E", okay?"
He Lai thought for a long time and thought that "The Injustice of Dou E" seemed quite good.
"Brother, what does Dou E's Injustice mean?" Wu'er asked curiously.
"Okay, everyone sit down, I'm going to tell you about the injustice of Dou E now!"
As soon as He Lai finished speaking, the children immediately sat next to He Lai and looked at him.
"Once upon a time..."
"Brother, can you change the beginning?"
"Shut up! If you interrupt me again, I'll take you out!"
"Oh."
...
"That's... no, during the Yuan Dynasty, Dou E's mother died when she was young. Her father, Dou Tianzhang, was a poor scholar. He lacked the money to go to Beijing for the imperial examination. What is money? It means travel expenses.
So he sold her to Cai's family as a child bride when she was only seven years old. Dou E married Cai's son at the age of seventeen, but within two years of marriage, her husband fell ill and died, leaving Dou E and her mother-in-law to depend on each other.
......"
"Those who do good suffer poverty and a shorter life, while those who do evil enjoy wealth and longevity. I bully the weak and fear the strong, but it turns out that I just go with the flow!"
……
"Heaven... you are unworthy of being Heaven if you misjudge the wise and foolish; Earth... you are unworthy of being Earth if you cannot distinguish between good and evil!"
……
"Oh my God, why are you so bullying!"
……
"I, Dou E, was born innocent, and I want to die innocently. I will find two feet of white silk and hang it on the flagpole."
……
"I, Dou E, died unjustly. When my head falls to the ground, blood will surely flow backwards and splatter on the white silk!"
"I, Dou E, swear a solemn oath here. After my death, my blood will stain the white silk, snow will fall in June, and there will be a severe drought for three years!"
……
"Later, the blood was all spilled on the white silk. As soon as Dou E died, the sky began to snow. Later, there was a three-year drought in this place! Dou E's oaths all came true one by one, and everyone realized that Dou E was indeed wronged."
……
"Finally, Dou E's father, Dou Tianzhang, returned home after serving as an official in the capital. Dou E's unjust case was finally cleared, the murderer Zhang Lu'er was sentenced to death, and the corrupt prefect also received the punishment he deserved."
"Okay, that's all."
When He Lai finished his lecture, the group of children did not feel anything. They were confused and only felt that He Lai was particularly emotional when he read those few sentences. The women comrades standing next to him, on the other hand, had red eyes and expressions of sympathy and sadness on their faces.
"Mom, please don't wrongly accuse me anymore. Otherwise, when I die, it will snow in June. No, it will snow in June, July, and August. There will also be a drought for ten years."
Wu'er ran to Wu Juan and said with a solemn oath.
When Wu Juan heard this, the sadness she had originally felt instantly disappeared. She grabbed Wu'er and put her on her lap, spanking her while saying, "I will wrong you, I will make you snow, I will make you suffer a severe drought..."
The sound of palms hitting pants was heard.
"Mom, I am innocent...please stop hitting me...I am wrong...I am in pain...Brother, please save me...Brother, please save me."
Wu'er shouted and stretched out her hand towards He Lai.
He Lai shook his head and left, there was no hope.
From then on, for several days, every household seemed to be particularly fond of mentioning the word "wronged", especially the children. Once they were wronged by their parents, they would say, "Mom (Dad), I am wronged, I am more wronged than Dou E!"
How would children know that their parents don’t care whether you are wronged or not. What they want is an obedient and sensible child, not a child who goes against them and rebels against them.
