The rise of the poor

Chapter 2103 Excited

"Master, please come and eat with us." Little Wang Qiong held the chicken leg with a happy look on his face and invited Zhu Ping'an to eat with him.

"Thank you, little brother. I have already had dinner." Zhu Ping'an thanked Xiao Wang Qiong with a smile.

"Why would the master eat with you?"

Before Zhu Ping'an could speak, Wang Zhi's wife reached out and pulled her son who had no self-awareness, lowered her head and taught him a lesson in a low voice.

The happy expression on little Wang Qiong's face turned into disappointment.

But the next second, the disappointment on his face turned into surprise, because Zhu Ping'an's voice came from above his head.

"I only have one stomach, so forget about it today." Zhu Ping'an said with a smile, "But how about we eat together tomorrow? I tell you, the food in the camp tomorrow will be mutton soup, with a few pancakes, and a stack of refreshing side dishes, which will make sure your little tummy is full."

"Really? What does mutton soup taste like? I haven't tasted it yet." Little Wang Qiong looked expectant.

After hearing what little Wang Qiong said, Wang Zhi's mother and his wife couldn't help but wipe away their tears with their hands.

"You'll know if you try it tomorrow." Zhu Ping'an said with a smile.

"Well, let's make a deal. We'll drink mutton soup together tomorrow." Little Wang Qiong said seriously, "I know you're the eldest master. Tomorrow I'll give you all the meat in my bowl. I can have a full meal without eating meat. Thank you for having my grandmother, my mother and me brought out of the prison. My grandmother and mother were worried that we might be beheaded, but I'm not afraid. I'm having a good day today, better than I've had in all those years. It's worth it if I'm really beheaded. I just hope you can spare my grandmother and mother? My last name is Wang, and they don't. If you have to kill them, just kill me first, so that my grandmother and mother can live a few more days."

As little Wang Qiong said his farewell words, his little face was filled with a happy smile, without any complaints. In the end, he just begged for his grandmother and his mother to live a few more days, just a few more days, so as not to embarrass Zhu Ping'an.

Hearing this, Wang Zhi's mother and wife couldn't help but burst into tears again.

Speaking of being beheaded, Wang Zhi's mother and wife became worried again. They were always worried.

Again, they were not afraid of death, or they had already prepared themselves for death. Wang Zhi was a pirate and his entire clan was to be executed. Once Wang Zhi was exposed, they knew they were doomed. It was just that little Wang Qiong was too pitiful.

"Kill me first, kill this old woman first, so that my daughter-in-law and my eldest grandson can live a few more days. My damn son is not a good student, and this is all my fault, because I didn't teach him well. Back then, my husband died young, and before he left, he asked me to discipline him strictly, but I felt that the child was pitiful without a father, so I couldn't bring myself to discipline him harshly, which led to him making mistakes one after another, and finally to where he is today. All the mistakes are my fault, so kill me first."

Wang Zhi's mother burst into tears. When she talked about how she did not discipline Wang Zhi well when he was a child, the regret on her face was visible to the naked eye.

"No, no, just kill me first, so that Grandma and Qiong'er can live a few more days. If you really want to blame someone, blame me. It's all my fault that I always complained about not having enough money at home. It's all my fault that I supported him to go out and start a business. It's all my fault that I didn't stick to it after he came back from his first voyage and didn't stop him from going out to sea again."

Wang Zhi's wife also burst into tears.

"Don't blame grandma, don't blame mom, it's all Wang Zhi's fault. It's all his fault. He's the one who got grandma and mom into trouble."

Little Wang Qiong Lianlian comforts his grandmother and mother.

Ever since he learned that it was because of Wang Zhi's being a Japanese pirate that his grandmother and mother were thrown into prison to die, he no longer called Wang Zhi "Dad". He always called him by his name - Wang Zhi - to express his dissatisfaction.

"Don't worry, you won't die. None of you will be executed because of Wang Zhi. I can guarantee this." Zhu Ping'an said seriously, "I am the governor of Zhejiang, and I keep my word."

"Really?" Little Wang Qiong asked, looking up.

"Of course it's true." Zhu Ping'an nodded seriously. "If I wanted to kill you, why would I go to so much trouble to take you out of Jinhua Prison? Isn't that like taking off your pants to fart?"

"Isn't it so that they can kill us as sacrifices in front of the battlefield when they go to war with Wang Zhi?" Little Wang Qiong said timidly.

When he was sleeping on the road, he heard his mother and grandmother talking in low voices and kept it in mind.

After hearing this, Wang Zhi's mother and wife looked at Zhu Ping'an nervously. This was also their concern.

"Haha, you think too much. If I kill you in front of the real battle, the revenge for killing your mother, wife, and son will make Wang Zhi and his Japanese pirates carry the anger of revenge, and their fighting power will be doubled. This is similar to the principle that the army of mourning will win. Isn't this asking for trouble? I won't do such a stupid thing."

Zhu Ping'an smiled and shook his head.

After listening to Zhu Ping'an's explanation, Wang Zhi's mother and wife nodded, thinking it made sense.

When they were in their hometown, they also heard many stories about the irreconcilable hatred for the murder of their fathers, and how the young men worked hard to become strong and kill the powerful enemies with their own hands. This kind of hatred for the murder of relatives can indeed make people's fighting power doubled in anger.

"Why did the master take us out of the prison?" asked little Wang Qiong.

"Master, do you want Wang Zhi to surrender for us? I dare not hide it from you, it is useless. A master once tried it, but it did not work. From then on, Wang Zhi treated us as dead and even held a funeral for us that year. I heard that he has taken in many women now, so he has no shortage of wives and children."

Wang Zhi's wife wiped her tears and spoke in a low voice.

She didn't dare to hide it. If Zhu Ping'an tried to use them to force Wang Zhi to surrender, the result would be the same as before. Wang Zhi would definitely not surrender and would definitely refuse. If Zhu Ping'an became angry and humiliated because of this, they would definitely be in a worse situation.

So, she told them what happened that year to prevent Zhu Ping'an from getting angry and humiliated after being rejected and taking it out on them.

As I said, she was not afraid of death, but she was afraid that Xiao Wang Qiong would die, and she was even more afraid that Xiao Wang Qiong would be tortured and killed by those in power.

"I know this." Zhu Ping'an said with a smile.

"Ah?! Master, you knew?" Wang Zhi's wife looked incredulous.

The same goes for Wang Zhi's mother.

"I brought you here from Jinhua Prison and treated you well in front of Wang Zhi. I wanted to give him a chance to reform and atone for his sins, and let him see my sincerity." Zhu Ping'an said frankly.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhi's mother and wife opened their mouths in surprise, and in an instant, their eyes were filled with tears of excitement.

"The master said that he would give Wang Zhi a chance to reform himself and atone for his sins?" Wang Zhi's mother asked excitedly.

"Yes." Zhu Pingan nodded. (End of this chapter)
