Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

"You have been taking care of your sister since you were a child, but who can take care of you? Shao Ping, our mother can do it. At most, she can just fold a few more matchboxes. I think we should not force the matter of last time. We also did something wrong. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. We should not tie it to other demands. The family may be frightened, so we should not bother them too much."

"Mom, I was wrong. I shouldn't have used all the money in the family to pay for that man's medical treatment without telling you, and I shouldn't have asked him for an excessive marriage exchange. It's me who made life at home even more difficult, but don't worry, I will go out and find a way to earn money so that you won't starve."

"Where are you going? Are you going out to gamble again?!" Gong's mother grabbed his hand and begged, "Can't you follow your father's footsteps and go in? You are my only son."

"Mom, this is the only way I can think of to make money quickly. I will stop doing this when I make enough money. When our lives get better, I will take good care of you and your sister."

"No! You can't go out, Shao Ping. You can't hang out with those bad friends. If you can't find a job outside, just stay at home and make matchboxes with me! The three of us will work together and we will survive."

Gong Shaoping still shook his head. The reason why he was unwilling to do such work was because he understood that doing so would not change their poor lives.

"Mom, how much money can you make from making matchboxes? Look at how many hundreds you have made in this period of time? How many cents did you earn? You only get a few cents from more than a hundred matchboxes, which is not enough for our family to live on. Don't worry about my business. If something happens to me, I won't involve my family. If I win, our family can live a good life. I know this." Without waiting for Gong's mother to say anything, Gong Shaoping turned around and was about to leave.

Gong's mother threw away the matchbox she was pasting and hurriedly pulled his sleeve.

"Hey Shao Ping, where are you going? Shao Mei, go and grab your brother!"

"Brother! Don't go!" Gong Shaomei also hurriedly ran out and hugged his brother.

She was cooking inside just now and didn't listen carefully to the noise outside.

The family was already so poor that they could barely afford to eat, and now after spending such a large sum of money, they can barely make ends meet.

For Gong Shaoping, this was his own doing so he should naturally be ultimately responsible for it.

"Let go, both of you! Don't stop me, I want to go out and make money."

It was at this critical moment that Pan's father came. He knocked on the door but it was too noisy inside and no one heard it.

Then he had no choice but to come in directly.

I didn't expect to see such a scene of a family when I came in.

"It seems that I came at the wrong time. Young man, I have always remembered that you saved me last time. This time I came here to thank you and to respond to what happened last time."

Gong Shaoping never thought that he could come. When he made such a request and the other party agreed, he immediately and happily told the other party his home address and situation.

I was excited for a few days after I came back, but no matter how long I waited, no one showed up. I slowly calmed down and felt that I was too naive.

Now thinking about it, what he did was really rude. Who would agree to such a request?

Not punishing him is considered as saving people.

He was very happy to see someone coming this time. As for what happened last time, he just regarded it as a slip of the tongue and let it go.

The Gong family hadn't received any guests for a long time, so they were very happy and relieved to see that the guest was getting better and coming to visit them.

This way their money is not wasted and it is well worth it.

But then I thought that the noise I made just now might have been heard by others, and I felt a little embarrassed.

Gong Ma was the first to come to her senses and waved her hand, "Come in and sit down. This house is a little shabby, so please don't mind. Shaomei, go get the guest a glass of water."

"It's okay. I'm a guest, how can I dislike the host? Last time, it was all thanks to this young man. Sister, you have raised a kind child." After saying that, Mr. Gong put the thank-you gift beside his legs and sat down.

His eyes would occasionally keep an eye on the young man who rescued him. Seeing him so tall but curled up sitting on an even shorter stool, he felt a little awkward for a moment.

When the young man saved him, he agreed so quickly because he was attracted by his looks and personality. Little did he know that his family situation was even worse than he thought.

"No, no, you are praising me too much. I am not well educated, and my two children have suffered a lot since they were young. Saving people is what he should do, and we should all be like Lei Feng."

"I agree with that. Your son is a real hero. If it weren't for him, I might not have been able to get him to the hospital so quickly."

"By the way, is your leg injury better?"

"I'm much better now, sister. I was recuperating at home and didn't have time to come here before. I'm finally here now that I'm fully recovered. I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. These things are my gifts of thanks for your help." As he spoke, Pan's father moved all the gifts on the ground to the table, making the table look smaller and fuller.

"This is too much, you can take it back. Our family just did a small thing, you can just come directly, there is no need to buy so many things."

"Sister, I personally delivered it to you, how can you return it to me? Besides, I have something else to do this time."

"What's going on?"

"what's up?"

The Gong family members asked in unison, and just as they asked, Gong Shaomei came over with a cup of water.

Mother Gong said embarrassedly: "It's not easy to come all the way here, drink some water first."

"Hey, thank you, big sister." Dad Pan picked up the ceramic jar and saw that the ceramic at the edge of the jar had fallen off, leaving some mottled marks. The bottom of the cup was covered with rust, and it seemed that it had been used for a long time.

Use this to entertain guests and you can tell that this might be the best cup in the house.

He showed no disdain and drank the water calmly.

I was mentally prepared when I came here, but I was still shocked by the scene in front of me.

The house is just an ordinary tiled house, a bit old and not very big with only two rooms. There is also a table in the small open space in the yard, which takes up most of the space.

Coming in from the door, there is only enough space for one person to pass through here, so two people cannot walk side by side or walk in front or behind.

There are two rooms. One of them is used as a kitchen with a bed and a cabinet for miscellaneous items. I haven't been into the other room so I don't know what it looks like, but judging from the structure of the house, I guess it won't be very big.

Even Pan's father had to admit that with such living conditions, if it weren't for the marriage exchange, it would be difficult for the two children to find a partner.
