After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Chapter 369 Don’t want to believe it

Someone murmured to Xu Qinghe, but was soon pulled back by the person next to him.

"Why are you still standing there? Haven't you recovered from the beating you received yesterday?"

The person who was speaking was named Xu Dashan. In the past, he loved drinking with the Xu Qinghai brothers in the village. Under the influence of the brothers, he had never had a good face towards Xu Qinghe.

So when he heard someone talking about Xu Laoer, he did not react that it was Xu Qinghe who was being talked about. His mind was only thinking about working hard, and thinking about running faster when the meal was served so that he could grab a bowl of thicker black flour porridge to fill his stomach.

"Brother Dashan, it's true..."

The man who was speaking was a well-known scoundrel in the village. In the past, everyone called him a scoundrel behind his back.

His parents died early, and he himself did not have a proper job. All day long he either stole eggs from one household or fruits from another.

If he is lucky and happens to meet someone eating, he will not be polite and will of course sit down and start eating.

Not only does he eat and drink his fill, he also grabs any good things he sees before he leaves. If you send him off nicely, that's fine, but if you don't want to bother with him, he'll hold a grudge and come back in the middle of the night to steal...

It is because of this that he grew up to be plump, white and strong.

However, these are just descriptions of his previous appearance. Looking at him now, his fat had disappeared long ago, and instead, he looked like the other people in the mine, dark and thin, with scars all over his body from being whipped.

Just now Xu Dashan was talking about what happened yesterday. He was distracted while working and accidentally overturned the wheelbarrow. The coal in the cart rolled everywhere. He was immediately surrounded by the guards and beaten severely. He was beaten until he rolled on the ground crying.

In the end, several other people from Xujia Village knelt down and spoke nice words, and quickly picked up the coal that was scattered on the ground and put it away, and only then did the guards let the boy go.

But this kid seemed to have forgotten the pain even though his scar had not healed yet, and he had even forgotten the beating he received yesterday. Now he was not working properly and was just looking around here.

"What's true or false? Are you thinking about..."

Zhang Dashan picked up a piece of coal as big as his head and while putting it on the car, he also glanced at the group of people not far away.

Well, except for those managers, the others looked like they were from wealthy families based on their dress and appearance, and they were not something they could talk about casually.

but……

The man in front looks a lot like Xu Laoer from their village...

Zhang Dashan's eyes scanned Xu Qinghe, and when the other party noticed and looked at him, he quickly lowered his head and continued digging coal.

It's just that they look alike. Xu Lao Er is long gone, how could he appear here, dressed like a rich man...

In addition to the village chief Xu Qingrong, there were many people from Xujia Village who witnessed Xu Qinghai and his brothers knocking Xu Qinghe off the cliff, including Xu Dashan.

The cliff is so high, and Xu Laoer is a mortal, not a god, so how could he not be dead?

Besides, even if he survived by chance, how could he live such a good life?

Ultimately, it was the jealousy in his heart that was at work. Zhang Dashan didn't want to and was unwilling to believe that the man who was chatting and laughing with the managers not far away was the Xu Laoer in his memory.

At this time, other people in Xujia Village also discovered Xu Qinghe. Some doubted him and some believed him, but everyone dared to just stare at him from afar and did not dare to run over to ask what was going on.

Whether it is true or not, they have no friendship with Xu Qinghe. On the contrary, many people have some minor grudges against him.

The truth is that Xu Qinghe has no status in the Xu family, and Xu Qinghai, as the eldest brother, suppresses him everywhere. These people are on good terms with Xu Qinghai, so naturally they are against Xu Qinghe.

So facing the current situation, everyone feels very conflicted.

Since this man is Xu Qinghe, considering his current condition, he can definitely take all of them out if he wants to.

But he was also afraid that this man was really Xu Qinghe. If he still held a grudge against what happened in Xujia Village before, he would be completely finished.

Now thinking about it, Xu Qinghai's family were all suddenly released. Was he also responsible for this?

"Mr. Xu...Second Brother Xu...is it really you?"

Others had concerns of one kind or another, but Lai Zi didn't care about them. When he saw other people's reactions, he dropped what he was holding and rushed towards Xu Qinghe regardless.

"It's me, it's me, I'm Lai Zi, wuwuwu... Second Brother Xu, I'm Lai Zi..."

Lai Zi had just run a few steps when he was whipped twice by a guard. He fell to the ground immediately, his mouth full of bright red blood.

"Wuwuwu...Brother Xu, I helped your family before..."

Lai Zi rolled on the ground after being beaten, but he was still unwilling to give up Xu Qinghe, his only life-saving straw. He crawled towards Xu Qinghe while crying.

"This guy... is really from the same village as us..."

Facing the inquiring looks of the managers, Xu Qinghe spoke calmly, glanced at the others, and couldn't help but smile.

"What a fate! I didn't expect that we would meet here..."

This Lai Zi is quite sensible. In the past, no one in the village dared to call him Lai Zi to his face, otherwise he would get angry and might really come to your house.

Now, he took the initiative to say his name, Lai Zi, and seemed to be really honest.

But when he mentioned that he had helped me, it was not false.

When Yuxiu was four or five years old, she was once again tricked by Xu Wenlin and his brothers into going out to play, and then they pushed her into a ditch near the village.

The water in the ditch was not very deep. Although little Yuxiu's head was still outside after she fell in, she was stuck in the mud by the river and couldn't get up. She was shocked and scared, and immediately burst into tears.

Lai Zi happened to encounter this incident, but he did not go down to pull the man up. Instead, he squatted by the river and watched the excitement for a while.

Finally, when Xu Qinghe heard the crying and went over, he finally stood up and shouted a few words loudly to remind him.

After this incident, Lai Zi asked Xu Qinghe for compensation many times on the grounds that he had helped him.

He also said that if Xu Qinghe hadn't come looking for him, he would have taken off his shoes and was ready to go down and save people.

Xu Qinghe was at his wit's end, but thinking that he had called him after all, and that he had really helped him, he sneaked up the mountain to hunt several times, exchanged some copper coins for him, and finally settled the matter.

I just didn't expect that after so many years, this person would still bring it up again.

Xu Qinghe thought of this man's previous face, and then looked at his flattering appearance now, and felt a little emotional.

However, this was exactly what Xu Qinghe wanted.
