The Landlord And His Wife

    Liu Tao frowned and looked at the Ma family in front of him and said: "Mother, I made it clear to you last time that I will give you one hundred wen a month, this is the son who should honor you and support you. Yours, other than this hundred words, don't look for me, and I won't care."

    Ma Shi was wearing a rough indigo cloth, with patches all over the cuffs and elbows, looking in a state of despair, the wrinkles on his face could trap mosquitoes, and he looked older than a few years ago He was in his teens and twenties. He was holding Liu Tao's arm with both hands to prevent him from running away. He was begging: "This time you must give it to me. The last time I came here, I didn't ask for money. I was almost beaten to death when I went back! Tao, Anyway, for the sake of me being your mother..."

    Liu Tao just shook his head: "No, even if I have it, I won't give it. Last time I coaxed me to say that you had a baby... Mother, you can't make me believe you at all. "

    "Five taels! Just give me five taels! I will never come to you again, Tao, you have so much money, how can you give your mother a little? I am also your mother. , I gave birth to you in October pregnancy, you are the flesh that fell from my body! You have to have a conscience! If you don't give it to me... God will take care of you!"

    Liu Tao sneered: "Mother, since you want to say this, I'll make it clearer. What if you say I give you a little money? Have you considered these two? How much money did you take away from me in 2010? Thirty or fifty cents has become a small sum! From the first time you said that your man broke his leg, and you can't live without taking the money for treatment, you have to leave from me The first time you hang money, either your man is sick, or your daughter is sick, either this one is going to die, or that one is dead. I always give you a dozen or eight taels, right? So much money, why is it enough? It took three to five years, right? Not only are you not enough, but you are even worse! Last time I said that your daughter was ill, and she was waiting for the money or she would die, so you asked me for ten taels! I am not a cash cow here, I want How much can you take out?"

    Ma Shi frowned, looked at him impatiently and said, "Are you settling accounts with your mother? I gave birth to you in October, and you are the flesh that fell from my body. You have to have a conscience..."

    "Mother, you really say these words over and over again, but I told you last time, I will never give you other money, the man in your family will die or the four daughters will die, It has nothing to do with me. If your man dies and you become a widow, it doesn't matter. If you want to go back to your mother's house, you can go back to your mother's house. If you want to stay in that house, you can stay there. Anyway, I will give you 100 yuan every month. It's enough for you to live. In the countryside, even if you don't farm, raise pigs, or do anything, the money is enough for you to eat and drink. Even if it's support, I've already done it. I don't have any extra money. I will give more."

    Ma Shi was really angry and anxious, and said angrily: "You have made a lot of money, your whole family eats the sea and drinks the delicacies! Conscience! If you earn money and don't give it to your mother, you want to raise that vixen?!"

    Liu Tao frowned, extremely annoyed, and said coldly: "It's useless to say anything, it's just that money every month, don't come to take it until the day comes, and there's nothing else. Don't say it, if you still feel that you are all right, I have nothing to say."

    "No! You must give it to me today. If you don't give it to me, I won't leave!"

    Liu Tao is not in a hurry, nor does he break free, pulling and pulling on the street is not good-looking, not to mention Ma Shi is also his mother, in order to break free, if Ma Shi is hurt, Liu Tao is heartbroken It's not good either, so I spend it here.

    In the store, Xiuxiu and He Zhongzhou were all in a hurry. The two walked around the store, thinking about how to rescue Liu Tao.

    Ma held Liu Tao here for a while, seeing that he didn't mean to compromise at all, in order to get the money, he had to compromise himself: "Tao, you are pitiful Have pity on me... I'm having a hard time right now, if I don't get the money back, the one who can't die will beat me to death..." As he spoke, he began to wipe his tears and pointed to his face: "Look, it's still blue! It's all from him!"

    Liu Tao turned his face away: "Mom, put away this trick, it worked well in the first few years, but now it's useless, I won't give more at all ."

    Ma Shi was also about to cry, but after hearing this, he hesitated for a while. Did he continue to cry as if he didn't hear it, or did he stop pretending? Thinking that Liu Tao really doesn't want to eat his own thing now, but he can't hold it anymore, and this time he became angry, and angrily stretched out his hand and slapped on Liu Tao's body: "You have no conscience, you have no conscience! What are you? People? You don't even care about your own mother! You are not a person! Follow me, I will go to the yamen to sue you! You wait for me!"

    While scolding and beating, Liu Tao stood still. Xiuxiu and He Zhongzhou saw it in the room, and stomped their feet anxiously, tears streaming down Xiuxiu's eyes: "Why does she beat people?! Why does she beat people?!"

      Someone cares, Ma Shi will have more right and wrong!

      She stayed and said that if Brother Tao didn't give her money, she wouldn't let go! She almost lost her popularity..."

    Xiuxiu was so frightened that she stopped again, she could only scold over and over: "This shameless woman... bad guy!"

    Ma was beating Liu Tao outside, and Liu Tao was right next to him. In the past two years, Ma found him and asked him for a lot of money to go, and he has been lying to him for various reasons. Liu Tao was really fooled a lot. If this matter were put under other circumstances, as long as it wasn't his own mother, he would definitely not have been fooled so much. But Mrs. Ma is his mother, so this can't be changed. of. Liu Tao did give a lot of money before and after, and then he realized that Ma was getting more and more greedy. He used to come every one or two months, but now he comes every three to five. In the past, I only dared to ask for a half-money, but now it is three-five-two!

    Liu Tao is not a fool, he started to be fooled, also because Ma was his mother, and he also saw that Ma was indeed injured sometimes. Of course, it was heartache for the son, and he would give it to him. , but I can't bear to come and ask for it often! If Liu Tao still can't see it, what business is there?

    So I told his mother, Ma, that I would give 100 pennies every month. Don't come down and ask him for money!

      He even took money for that man to gamble... Why would Liu Tao take money for that man to gamble? Isn't this sick? So set a hundred articles. He also made up his mind that even if Ma Shi said anything, he would not give more!

    And he really did it, Ma Shi was beating and beating, scolding and scolding, jumping and jumping, using all kinds of tricks, this time he really didn't give it. Ma Shi had been out for a long time, and he was afraid that he would be beaten when he went back. In the end, he could only let Liu Tao go: "If you don't give it to me, there is always an answer! You wait!" After speaking, he scolded angrily and left. .

    Liu Tao still stood there for a while, watching Ma Shi and couldn't see it, then slowly turned around and walked back slowly.

    When Xiuxiu and He Zhongzhou saw that Ma was finally gone, they were all relieved. Liu Tao came back. Timidly, he glanced at Liu Tao from time to time.

      Things like this... By the way, Xiuxiu, don't tell your family about this when you go back..."

    Xiuxiu nodded hurriedly: "Okay! I know, I won't say it, I will never say it!"

    Liu Tao saw that their siblings were so frightened that he couldn't help laughing bitterly. After thinking for a long time, he explained: "I don't want to let my family know, I don't want my family to worry about the past..." Having said this, he sighed and said, "There were a lot of troubles in the past, but now the second uncle's family is finally living well, and the family is safe and sound. I don't want to bother them with these things."

    Xiuxiu nodded busyly and heavily: "I know! I will not say it!"

    Even He Zhongzhou felt that she was deliberate, looked up at her and sighed: "Sister!"

    Liu Tao laughed and said to Xiuxiu: "Don't be nervous, that's my mother, she won't treat me like that, this is not something you dare not let people know, Second Uncle and the others It should also be thought that my mother will definitely come to me, because they know that I can handle it, understand?"

    Xiuxiu nodded as if she understood, but she could sense that this meant that this matter was not as serious as she thought? Even if the aunt and uncle knew about it, they would not drive Brother Tao away... She breathed a sigh of relief, and then put her heart down: "That's good... Brother Tao, but you can't always give money, or you'll get used to it. , I come to you every day to ask for money!"

    Xiu Xiu said 'oh'.

    Liu Tao smiled and said: "Xiuxiu is right, it should be like this, I know!"

    Xiuxiu was even more relieved, smiled and looked at Liu Tao, and hurriedly brought the two carambola she had peeled: "Brother Tao, you also have some fruit, eat it The fruit feels good in my heart."

    Liu Tao took it with a smile: "Thank you." He ate it.

    Xiuxiu also sat down next to her. At this time, she had forgotten about the morning training. She took out the silk flowers she bought and compared them one by one, and gave them to Liu Tao from time to time. Look: "Does it look good?"

    Liu Tao laughed and nodded.
