There was a young man in Xiaoyang Village named Daniel. There was only an old lady in her sixties in the family, and the mother and son depended on each other for life. Daniel fell twenty years ago and was disabled for life. The lower body seemed to not belong to him, stiff as a stone, and only the upper body could move. Daniel was a dutiful son. Since his father passed away, he had taken care of his mother, cooking, washing clothes and wiping his body, taking shit and urine, and serving his mother properly every day. He never complained. The only thing that bothered Daniel was that he was over thirty and had not yet married a daughter-in-law. Because what? Think about it, who would want to be a cow and a horse as soon as he passed the door, serving an old lady who was slumped on the bed? Over the years, when the girls who came to the blind date saw the big cow lady, they immediately turned around and left in fright, refusing to say another word.

A few days ago, an enthusiastic matchmaker sent another girl to Daniel. The girl came to the house to see her, and Daniel Niu also saw her and ate, and seemed quite satisfied. Daniel Zhengmei, the girl asked the matchmaker to pass the word over, saying that she didn't care about having a mother-in-law who was slumped in bed, but Daniel's house was too rotten, if Daniel could build two buildings, she would be willing to live with him. The girl also said that she was willing to wait for him for a year.

When Daniel heard this, it was like a basin of cold water pouring down his head, and the hope that had just risen in his heart was extinguished again. It cost at least 20,000 yuan to build two buildings. Most of the money he earned these years was spent on treating my mother and catching medicine, and he didn't have a penny in the bank. Where could he get 20,000 yuan?

On this day, after a few days of rain, it finally cleared. Daniel took the old lady out of the house to bask in the sun, then rolled up his sleeves and took the broken quilt and stinky clothes from the old lady's bed out to wash. A piece of the old lady's mat was torn, and under the hole was an old yellow paper with writing on it.

Daniel casually picked up the paper and casually opened it to take a look. After taking a look, he was shocked: it turned out that the old lady fell twenty years ago, and was knocked down by someone. The person who knocked the old lady down was a man from Fengwei Village ten miles away from Xiaoyang Village, named Wu Deli.

This piece of paper is the compensation agreement signed by Dad and Wu Deli. It clearly states that the other party will compensate the old lady 500 yuan at one time, and will never be pursued. The names of the two people are signed below, and the handprint is also pressed.

Daniel was stunned for a while, threw down his clothes, ran out of the house and handed the note to the old lady: "Mother, what's going on? Is this real?"

After thinking about it, she nodded and said, "It's true, Wu Deli is a unicycle driver. At that time, he went downhill and couldn't stop the car, so he hit me.

Daniel stomped his feet: "Why is Dad so confused! Five hundred dollars is not enough! Mother, you have been twenty years... He should pay half a million!"

Your father and he were real-world friends, and they drank together. At that time, his family was indeed poor. I heard that the money was bought by selling the house! "

"No way!" Daniel thought of his mother's suffering in the past 20 years, and his father and himself. The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became.

Daniel said hurriedly: "But, but your father and the others have already agreed, black and white, and they also pressed their fingerprints, how can their words not count?"

Daniel couldn't listen and angrily said, "Mother, don't worry about it, I must get justice! Five hundred yuan, hehe, he is the King of Hell, and I have to settle this debt!"

The next day, Daniel prepared a meal for his mother, brought it to his hand, and ignored his mother's advice, turned his head and went out. He came to Fengwei Village, asked people to find Wu Deli's house, and went straight in. Wu Deli was now an old man in his sixties, smoking a hookah in the house, and Daniel knew that he was Wu Deli, so he handed the agreement to him without saying anything.

As soon as Old Man Wu's eyes touched the agreement, he couldn't help but shake his whole body. He raised his eyes and stared at Daniel in surprise: "You... you..."

Daniel said loudly: "I am his son Daniel." Old Man Wu looked down at the damaged agreement again: "Then, this... this..."

Daniel asked, "Did you knock my mother down? Do you admit it or not?"

"I admit it, why don't I admit it?" Old Man Wu sighed, "Even if I die, I won't rely on this!"

"You admit it, that's great!" Daniel sneered, "I won't admit the agreement my father signed with you back then. I want you to compensate my mother another 100,000 yuan!"

"One hundred thousand?" Old Man Wu was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile, "Even if I sell all the house, it's not worth one hundred thousand!"

Daniel said angrily, "100,000 is a lot? My mother has been paralyzed for twenty years, you know? Twenty years!" As he said that, Daniel's eyes flashed with tears.

Old man Wu nodded his head, but his face was embarrassed: "That's, that's, but..."

At this time, a young man in his twenties walked outside: "Dad, what's going on?"

This young man was Old Man Wu's son, his name was Erdan, and because his family was poor, he had never married a daughter-in-law. Erdan listened for a long time and understood the ins and outs of this matter. The young man, full of blood, immediately sank his face and stood in front of Old Man Wu and said, "Father, his son is here to collect the debt, and I will also decide this matter for you!"

He turned back and said to Daniel: "The white paper fell into black, and your father also pressed the handprint, so it doesn't count if you say it doesn't count? I tell you, this matter was over twenty years ago, you are extorting! We won't pay you a penny, hum, 100,000 yuan, there is no door!"

When Daniel heard this, his face immediately changed color. The two young men disagreed and started to quarrel. After arguing for a long time, neither of them would give in, and they almost started fighting.

After Daniel left, Old Man Wu was silent for a long time, burying his head in the smoke. After a long time, he raised his head and said to his son, "Dopey, I knocked him down and hurt him for the rest of his life. Can we make up for it?"

Dopey cried out, "We signed an agreement with him, and we made it clear that we will never pursue him. Isn't this over? We will make up for him again, not a fool! Besides, where did our family get the money to make up for him? If there is money, I will not keep it for my wife?"

Old Man Wu pounded his head ruefully and murmured, "In fact, in my heart, I haven't forgotten this for the past 20 years… Sigh, it seems that this is the calamity of fate!" Throwing away the cigarette, he sighed again.

In less than ten days, Old Man Wu received a notice from the court at home. Daniel really sued him.

Old Man Wu held the notice in his hand, stared at it for a long time, and couldn't help but panic. Dopey didn't care and said angrily to him, "Dad, don't you worry, don't we also have an agreement in hand? Show this to the judge and you will understand, we will definitely win!"

Old Man Wu was still worried: "But, but, in the end, after all, I bumped into someone, it was me who was wrong!"

The day before the trial, Old Man Wu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. When he got up to urinate, he was dyed with a cold wind. He couldn't get up in the morning, so he had no choice but to send his son alone to replace him.

Old Man Wu was lying on the bed, his mind was thinking wildly, and he had no clue. He waited and waited nervously, but he didn't expect that his son would come back in the afternoon. Old Man Wu got up from the bed: "What, how is it?"

Dopey was beaming and said loudly, "Dad, we won! Haha!"

"Ah, really?"  Old Man Wu was dubious, "You don't admit that I hit the person?"

"I admit it!"   Dopey shouted excitedly, "But the judge said it's been twenty years, and it's been too long, and his rights have long expired!"

"It's expired..." Old Man Wu murmured, and he didn't know whether he was happy or worried. He was stunned for a while and asked his son, "Then what did Daniel say?"

"He said it's not over yet, hehe, who's afraid of who? He can't win the letter, and if he dares to fight, I'm not afraid of him either!" Saying that, he waved his arm vigorously.

Old Man Wu raised his head and sighed again...

One day later, Old Man Wu recovered from his illness. This morning, as soon as he woke up, he heard footsteps outside the door. When he opened the door, Daniel was standing at the door, breathing heavily.

Old Man Wu asked, "Daniel, you are..."

Since you refuse to compensate, you have to raise my mother! I will hand my mother over to you today. Remember, my mother has to eat two meals of meat a day at home, the rice needs to be cooked a little bit, and the meat needs to be boiled in soup. My mother needs one or two less meat, and I can't finish with you! "After saying that, he bent down and said to my mother,' Mother, what do you want to eat, just tell them to do it, and make up for the sins you have suffered for these twenty years! "

Dopey hurriedly ran out when he heard the voice, but the big cow had already left. Dopey looked at the big cow lying on the ground, and pulled his father's sleeves: "Dad, ignore him, his rights have long expired, and we have no obligation to help him raise his mother! He is being unreasonable, let's go to the countryside to report the case!"

Saying that, he was about to close the door. But this time, Old Man Wu didn't listen to him and sighed heavily: "Go away!"

The two elderly people's eyes touched and their lips moved. However, neither of them said a word and quickly avoided her.

Old Man Wu silently carried the big cow to the bed, covered the quilt, put down the mosquito net, and immediately caught an old hen to kill. Without much time, he boiled a pot of fragrant chicken soup, brought it to the head of the big cow's bed, and then sat down, watching the big cow finish the bowl of chicken soup. Silently tidied up the dishes and chopsticks, and retreated, but no one said a word.

In this way, Old Man Wu took the big cow lady into his house. Every day, he tried his best to cook delicious food for the big cow lady, bring tea and water, pour excrement and urine, like serving his own mother, without a single complaint.

But when Dopey saw it, he hated Daniel in his heart: You lost the lawsuit, why should we help you raise your mother?

One day, taking advantage of his father's opportunity to go out, Dopey made up his mind to carry the big cow lady on his back and run out. As he walked, he inquired about the road and saw that he would reach Xiaoyang Village after walking for a while. Suddenly, the big cow lady patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Dopey, put the aunt down!"

Dopey was stunned, "What are you doing?"

Big Niu Niang: "You put Auntie down first!"

Dopey had no choice but to put her down, and the big cow mother was half lying in the grass by the roadside, waving at him and saying, "Dopey, thank you for sending me back, go back!"

Dopey was stunned, thought for a while and said, "It's almost there, I'll send you home!"No, no, I'll just lie here, you go back!"

Niu Niu Niang refused to let him send her anything, and the two eggs thought: This is what you said yourself, you can't blame me. He said: "Okay, I'm going back!" She really patted her butt and walked back.

When he got home, he saw his father sitting in the house and said happily, "Father, I sent the big cow mother back!"

Old Man Wu snorted and cursed angrily, "I knew it was you!Dopey said angrily, "Why should I help him raise his mother? His rights have expired!"

Old Man Wu asked worriedly, "Have you seen Daniel? What did he say?"

Dopey shook his head, and as soon as he said that Daniel was going to come down halfway, Old Man Wu was furious, jumped up and gave him a slap: "Why are you such a bastard! Daniel can't walk, can't run, you actually left her on the side of the road, if something goes wrong, Daniel won't ask you to fight!"

As soon as Dopey heard that and thought about it carefully, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and stood stunned. Old Man Wu shouted, "Why are you standing there, you don't take me to find it!"

The father and son hurriedly followed the same path and found the place where Daniel came down. Looking left and right, they couldn't see anyone, thinking that they were taken home by Daniel. Who knew that they had been looking for Daniel's house, but they still didn't see anyone.

As soon as Old Man Wu explained their purpose anxiously, Daniel jumped up and said, "If my mother has three long and two short, I will fight with you!"

"Who told you to put your mother in my house? Besides, she wanted to come down herself. If anything happens, it's your fault first!"

Daniel was so angry that he rushed up with his fist, and the two eggs did not show weakness, and clenched his fists tightly. When Old Man Wu saw that he was about to fight, he hurriedly inserted himself in the middle and shouted angrily, "What are you arguing about, find someone first!"

Daniel thought about it too, and put away his fists for the time being. The three of them returned to the place where Daniel came down and looked for it carefully, but they still found nothing.

The three of them were so anxious that Daniel's heart suddenly hung, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry, and kept saying, "Mother, what are you doing here?Suddenly he remembered something and said loudly, "My father's grave is nearby, my mother..."

Speaking of which, he quickly ran to a small path beside the road, and saw that the grass on the ground had just been crushed, and there was still a lot of grass on it, one by one, and one by two in three steps. Daniel's eyes were hot, and his mother must have just crawled over from here, holding the grass with only two hands, moving forward step by step.

As expected, they climbed over the mountain and heard a woman's voice in front of them. They stopped and listened, and it was indeed the big cow lady who was talking: "... His father, I'm coming to see you soon. As a person, it's not enough for me to drag you down for a lifetime, but also drag down my son." I really have no face to see you."

Daniel suddenly shouted, "Mother!" He ran over and saw that his mother was lying in front of his father's grave. Both hands had been cut by grass, bleeding all over the ground, and one hand was still clutching a "claw button" (a highly poisonous plant. In the past, rural people wanted to commit suicide and could not afford pesticides, so they usually went up the mountain to find this plant to eat).

At this time, Old Man Wu and Dopey also came over, and when they saw this scene, they both bowed their heads deeply. Big Niu looked at them and said softly, "Big Brother Wu, you are friends with Big Niu's father. You know him, and you have never said anything to go back on your words. I will not embarrass him.

Old Man Wu suddenly burst into tears, choked up and replied, "I know..."

Daniel stretched out a hand that was both mud and blood, and touched Daniel's head: "Daniel, mother really hates herself, why is she still alive, mother is sorry for you! Which girl entered the door, didn't mother scare away? It's not easy to meet a girl with a good heart who doesn't dislike mother, and only wants two buildings, but all the money you earned over the years has been spent on mother, mother knows your thoughts... Why does mother have the heart to drag you down!"

Daniel burst into tears and held his mother tightly in his arms: "Mother, mother, I don't want a daughter-in-law! I won't push you out, eat rice and chaff, they are all in our house, mother, mother, don't think about it!"

After saying that, he burst into tears, put the old lady on his back, and walked down the mountain without looking at Old Man Wu and the others.

The next day, Old Man Wu smoked silently at home for a long time, then suddenly threw the cigarette away and went to the neighboring village to find a butcher. Two days later, Old Man Wu sold all three cows and two packs of pigs in the family, and then sold a contracted forest. He went out with the 20,000 yuan he received.

Dopey saw his father's actions and guessed in his heart what his father was going to do. He caught up with his father and asked, "Father, what are you going to do?"

Old man Wu said, "Send money to Daniel, let him build two buildings and marry a wife."

Dopey looked at his father hesitantly: "They... have expired, let's..."

"It's expired!" Old Man Wu sighed heavily, "But a human conscience will not expire! Dopey, remember what Dad said!" After saying that, he patted his son's shoulder hard and strode away.
