General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 903: Repaying a Favor (1)

Zhao Yang was close to his wife, and when he heard what she said, he took three or four steps back in fear. "Xiaohua... don't be angry, don't be angry."

"You are really capable. Why do you go to a gambling house?" the woman asked angrily.

"...My dear... they took me there!" Zhao Yang whispered. He sometimes felt too depressed, so he went to gamble a little. He didn't dare to bet too much, but he still lost twenty taels...

"You've really grown up!" the woman said angrily. Zhao Yang made a bitter face and did not dare to retort. He silently accepted his wife's accusations.

The woman scolded him for a while, but became discouraged when she saw how pitiful he looked. She also felt that she had forgiven him too easily and that he did not learn his lesson, so she ignored him with a cold face.

Zhao Yang saw that his wife stopped scolding him and thought that her anger had subsided. However, his wife went back to the room with their son in her arms without even looking at him.

Zhao Yang became anxious.

"Xiaohua, Xiaohua, don't be angry, Xiaohua..."

Zhao Yang knocked on the door, but his wife didn't respond.

"Mr. Zhao! Mr. Zhao, are you home?" Someone suddenly knocked on the door. Zhao Yang was stunned. He didn't expect someone to come to his door.

When he opened the door, he saw that it was someone he had helped before. The humiliation he had just experienced was still fresh in his mind. Zhao Yang looked at the person who came, thinking that he needed his help again, and said uncomfortably. "I have no money now, and I still owe a large sum of money, so I can't help you."

"I... I'm not here to borrow money from you! I know you were acquitted today. Everyone has heard about your story. I came here specially to congratulate you." The old man looked at Zhao Yang and quickly explained.

"Thank you." Zhao Yang said indifferently, forcing a smile.

He did not ask them for the money he had borrowed from them before. He did not want to be humiliated again, so he waited for them to leave.

Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly took out three taels of silver and put it in his hand. Zhao Yang was startled. "Old Li, you..."

"I know, these three taels are not much. You lent me five taels when your family was in trouble before, and I remember it! Now you are in trouble, and I can't be conscienceless. Here are three taels. Although it is not a lot, you can use it first! As for the two taels of silver, I will wait a little longer, but I will definitely pay you back!" Old Li looked at Zhao Yang and smiled sincerely.

"Old Li, I..." Zhao Yang's eyes were moist. The person he least thought would pay him back actually came to pay him back!

Old Li lives in a remote village and has only one grandson. The grandfather and grandson usually make a living by doing odd jobs for others. Once, his grandson had a high fever and had no money, so he came to him for help. He gave him five taels of silver and asked him to take his grandson to see a doctor. He never thought of asking him to pay back the money.

After all, considering their conditions, it is impossible for them to have the money to pay back.

"You helped me when I needed you most and saved Xiaoliang. I still remember it! Even if I die without paying you back, there is still Xiaoliang! He will continue to pay you back!" Old Li said to Zhao Yang, put the money in his hand, patted him, then turned and left.

Watching Lao Li's departing back, Zhao Yang felt for the first time what it meant to truly help others...

"Now you know the difference between helping those who really need help and helping those blood-sucking maggots?" The woman opened the door at some point and looked at Zhao Yang. Obviously, she had seen the scene of Lao Li paying back the money just now.

"Yeah." Zhao Yang clenched his fists and nodded.

"Xiao Zhao! Are you there?" Another knock on the door sounded. As Zhao Yang just opened the door, an old woman walked in quickly.
