Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

In the dim room, the person on the narrow bed took a breath and sat up. His arm accidentally swept over the stool at the head of the bed and knocked it over, making a muffled sound when he fell on the muddy ground.

Soon, footsteps came from far away, and the wooden door was pushed open with a creak. Only a short silhouette could be seen with the backlight. The hair on his head was dry and rough. Although he tried to comb it neatly, it still looked a little messy.

"Yan'er, you're awake!" The woman's slightly hoarse voice was a little cautious, "Are you hungry? The porridge is warming in the pot. I'll get you some hot water so you can wash and eat."

Seeing that he was still silent as before, the woman was a little disappointed. She sighed silently, said no more, and turned to walk out of the house.

"Mom..." Yang Yan had just adapted to his new body and hurriedly called her, "Don't bother, I'll go outside to wash up and eat."

"Yan'er!" The woman turned back in surprise, "You're willing to go out!"

Yang Yan then saw her face clearly. She was not old, just over 40 years old, but because of the vicissitudes of life, she looked more than ten years older than her age, with drooping eyes and wrinkles on her face.

"Okay, okay," the woman's face was full of joy, and she looked younger at this moment, "Good child, it's good that you have figured it out. There is nothing in this world that you can't overcome. Suffering is only temporary, and there will definitely be blessings waiting for you in the future."

Just being willing to go out made her so happy. Yang Yan sighed in his heart. The original owner was only immersed in his own pain, but ignored the people who really cared about him.

The woman ran out happily, and shouted loudly for someone to prepare a chair and to carry him. Soon, he was carried to the yard by his two sisters-in-law, and sat on a bamboo chair to bask in the sunshine of the early morning in March.

His legs were broken and he could not walk, so he could only sit there and let his mother bring hot water to wash his face and rinse his mouth. She also served the white rice porridge to him. When he drank it in small sips, the woman took away the empty bowl and stuffed two hot eggs into his hand.

This body had been severely injured before, and it was still a little weak after nearly half a year of recuperation. It needed to replenish nutrition, and Yang Yan did not refuse her kindness.

He picked up an egg and knocked it gently on the armrest of the chair, then carefully peeled the eggshell, revealing the white and tender egg white. When it was placed together with his slender and fair fingers that had never done any work, it was hard to tell which one was whiter.

The original owner was lucky. He was supposed to be a peasant from a humble family, but because of an accident seventeen years ago, he was mistakenly taken away with the eldest son of the Marquis of Jinshou.

He enjoyed wealth that did not belong to him for more than ten years, and grew up with luxurious clothes and delicious food, and servants. When he was ten years old, he was called "Prince" by his father.

The original owner was also unfortunate. When he was sixteen, his family was discussing marriage for him. The one he was talking about was the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Nanxiang, Qin Yunxin, who was famous in the capital for her talent, beauty and good conduct. The two families even exchanged the engagement letter, but suddenly his true life experience was exposed.

After a period of war and chaos, the original owner accompanied the Marquis and his wife to He'an Village to pick up their biological son. Originally, the two families should have each returned to their own, but the Marquis's wife saw that the Su family was in a difficult situation and was reluctant to let the child she had raised for more than ten years suffer.

The original owner passed the examination for a scholar at the age of eleven a few years ago, and passed the imperial examination at the age of fourteen two years ago. He was a famous child prodigy in the capital, and the teacher even predicted that he would be on the list of candidates for the next spring boudoir.

Marquis Jinshou was unwilling to waste his efforts, and wanted to keep him to help his own son, so he agreed to his wife's proposal.

So he discussed with Su's father and mother and decided to keep him in the Marquis's mansion as their adopted son. Parents who truly love their children would not be unwilling to see them become talented. Although they were reluctant, they agreed to this plan.

However, they refused the gift of silver from the Marquis's mansion. Although the Su family was poor, they had backbone and did not want people to think that they were selling their sons.

After that, the original owner returned to the Marquis's mansion again, but his status was very different. His biological son became an adopted son, and his real biological son suffered for sixteen years because of him. You can imagine how embarrassing his position in the Marquis's mansion was.

Fortunately, he had anticipated the situation he might face, so he ignored all the disturbances and focused on studying, thinking that he could move out of the mansion after passing the imperial examination next spring.

Unfortunately, the wind did not stop when the tree wanted to be quiet. Soon after, rumors spread in the mansion that Qin Yunxin, the eldest daughter of Nanxiang Marquis, who was engaged to the real prince, was attracted to him, who passed the imperial examination at a young age and had both talent and appearance, and looked down on Zuo Yangyi, the real prince who was raised by a peasant woman and was vulgar and rude.

After hearing this, the original owner hurried to explain to his brother-in-law that although the two had discussed marriage, they had never even met each other, so there was no need for those rumors.

But since Zuo Yangyi returned to the mansion, he was often ridiculed and despised by others. His personality became sensitive and fragile, and he would not listen to him at all, and he always had a grudge in his heart.

After that, many things happened. Under the intentional instigation, the conflict between the two became deeper and deeper. Although the marquis's wife had feelings for him, she naturally preferred her own son. Jinshou Marquis was also annoyed by the unrest in the mansion.

After discussing it, the two decided to send him back to the Su family to live for a while, and then take him back after Zuo Yangyi adapted to the life in the Marquis' Mansion.

The original master would be lying if he said he was not sad, but the actions of his adoptive parents were just human nature, and he did not feel resentful. However, he had an accident on the way back to the Su family, and he and his car rolled down the cliff.

Although he was lucky enough to survive, his legs were broken and could not be cured. In this dynasty, people with disabilities cannot serve as officials, so his future was ruined.

When his thoughts reached this point, the eggshell had been peeled off completely. When Yang Yan was about to put it in his mouth, a strong sense of gaze made him stop involuntarily.

The two children in front of the court were looking at him eagerly. To be precise, they should be looking at the eggs in his hands, with their little fingers in their mouths, and their four big eyes full of desire.

Yang Yan learned from the memory of the original owner that these two children were the eldest brother's five-year-old son and the second brother's three-year-old daughter, so he waved to them to come over.

It has been almost half a year since the new fourth uncle returned to the Su family, but he stayed in the room all day and refused to see anyone. The child was afraid of strangers and hesitated for a long time without daring to come forward. It took a long time before he looked at his encouraging eyes. Came over.

"Fourth uncle..." The eldest nephew called out first, and the little girl followed her brother as quietly as a mosquito.

Yang Yan chuckled lightly, split the egg in his hand into two, handed it over and said, "Good boy, here you go."

The broken eggs had white and tender whites and bright golden eggs, exuding an alluring fragrance. The eyes of the two children were stunned for a moment. The little girl couldn't help but reached out to pick it up, but was stopped by her brother.

The little boy swallowed hard and said, "Uncle Four is not in good health. Uncle Four should eat and he will feel better soon."

Although he obviously wanted to eat it, he tried his best to refuse the temptation. It is sad that such a young child is so sensible.

Yang Yan smiled and coaxed: "There is another egg here for the fourth uncle. One is enough to replenish the body. The fourth uncle can't eat it. Can you help the fourth uncle eat it?"

"No, grandma will scold her." The little boy was a little moved, but still firmly refused.

Yang Yan knew the crux of the problem and stopped trying to persuade him. He raised his voice and said, "Mom, I just felt a little full after eating. Can I give one of the two eggs to Daniel and Daya?"

Mother Su responded: "That's for your health, what are you giving it to them for? Children have weak spleens and stomachs, so they won't be able to eat good food, so be careful of getting upset."

It's just eggs, how could it not be digested? It's just an excuse for him to eat with peace of mind.

"I can't eat it anyway. If mother doesn't let them eat it, then you can eat it." Although Yang Yan's voice was not loud, his tone was very stubborn.

Mother Su knew that this son looked gentle, but in fact he had a very stubborn temper. He would definitely not eat if he told him not to eat, and she was afraid that he would not agree to stay until lunch, so she had to give in and said: "Okay, okay, mom is full." , let them eat!”

Anyway, it was just an egg, and she would make up for it later by making other things for him. "Daniu, Daya, go wash your hands. Don't get upset if they are dirty."

The two little ones cheered, washed their hands happily, and then each held half an egg and ate it with gusto.

Seeing how they seemed to be tasting some delicious food, Yang Yan had a new understanding of the Su family's family background.

In the original owner's memory, the Su family was indeed poor, but after he came back, he still ate white rice every day. Although he didn't have meat every day, he could eat it every two days, and he could eat eggs every day.

Compared with the days in the Hou Mansion, it was certainly very hard, but he had never thought that the hard days he felt were the best that the Su family could provide him, and they themselves might have to eat even more. Much different.

It's not that the original owner was ungrateful, it was mainly a cognitive difference. After all, he had been raised in fine clothing and food for sixteen years. How could he have imagined that the lives of ordinary people could be so miserable?

It seemed that he had to find a way to change the current situation of the Su family first. The idea of ​​teaching Su's father and others to do business flashed in Yang Yan's mind, but he quickly rejected it.

Now he still doesn't know if some people will still stare at him after learning that he is disabled, but he can't be too high-profile to avoid causing trouble to them.

After thinking for a while, he remembered something and suddenly had an idea in his mind: "Mom, come out for a moment. I have something to ask you."

Just after the spring plowing, all the men in the family went out to work. Mother Su took her three daughters-in-law to take care of the house and do trivial chores. However, her mind was always thinking about her fourth son, who had just returned home. At this time, she heard him calling He immediately put down what he was doing and walked out.

"Yan'er, what do you want to ask?" Mother and son have been separated for more than ten years, and the son was raised by a family like the Hou Mansion. Su's mother always feels short of breath when facing him.

Yang Yan could see her embarrassment, and comforting her at this time had no effect. He just pretended not to notice, and said calmly: "Is there any left of the silver I brought back?"

Of course there is. When the original owner came back a year ago, he brought about a hundred taels of silver, which was a huge sum of money for an ordinary farmer like them. However, his injury cost him more than half of it, and Hou Fu's side had only sent people to do it in the first place. Apart from seeing him, there was no further news from him.

Originally he was talking about a short stay, but almost half a year has passed and no one has come to pick him up. The Su family probably understood what they meant. The little money left was kept by Su's mother for him, and no other money was allowed. People use it.

"There are still thirty-five taels and about ten coppers. Mom has saved them for you!" It was rare that her son was willing to ask about these things. Mother Su smiled brightly, "My son wants to buy something else? These are all for you to pick up later. If you want to live your life as a daughter-in-law, I will buy it for you with your money.”

"No, just pay it out of the money I brought back." Aunt Su opened her mouth to say something, but Yang Yan raised his hand to stop her and said, "Mom, please listen to me first."

"The things I need cost a lot, but my brothers and sisters-in-law don't have any objections. I feel sorry for myself. I'm sixteen and almost seventeen this year. I can't rely on you all the time to support me."

Mother Su thought that her sons must not care about raising their younger brothers, but her daughter-in-law did not necessarily care, although she knew that their temperaments were not that narrow-minded.

But after all, there is still a layer between them and their brother-in-law. A year or two is okay, a lifetime is so long, and they each have their own families, who can't be a little selfish?

Seeing that she sighed and said nothing, Yang Yan continued: "Secondly, I don't buy things for enjoyment, but to try to make some money. I have studied hard and read poetry and books for so many years. Although my legs are disabled now, But the knowledge is still in my mind and my hands are still there, so I can always find a way out for myself.”

"My son, you finally figured it out!" After listening to his words, Su's mother felt bitter and relieved at the same time. She pitied him for having to endure such pain at such a young age, but it was best to be happy, "Mom, you know You are a kind-hearted child, and those hardships cannot defeat you."

But in fact, the original owner did not survive this disaster. After all, he was too young and had never suffered any hardships in the past ten years. He was always under tremendous pressure when he encountered successive changes.

Having a broken leg and being abandoned by his adoptive parents in disguise became the last straw for him. If he had not come, he would have died of depression in two years.

Yang Yan smiled slightly and talked about what he wanted to buy.

First of all, he needed to make an object to assist mobility and some medicinal materials. He had checked the legs before, and he didn't know where he got the quack doctor from. He had not straightened the leg bones at all.

If he had been here a few months earlier and could have set his own bones, he would have been 90% better, not to mention recovering as before. But now the broken bones have grown together randomly, and they can only be broken and reattached.

Not only will the process be extremely painful, it will also cost more, and the recovery time will be longer. It will also definitely leave sequelae. In the future, you will not be able to stand for a long time, let alone walk too far.

Whether it was the fault of a quack doctor or someone else's handiwork, he would definitely repay this "kindness" when he finds out later.

Then there was the issue of making a living. Yang Yan planned to resume his old business of writing storybooks. The original owner was a young man, but he was not a die-hard reader. He would occasionally read popular storybooks recommended by his classmates.

To be honest, some of the writing is good, but the plots are cliche and few are innovative. Based on his own experience, there are countless stories that can knock him down, and he thinks his writing is not bad either.

Not to mention whether he can make a lot of money, at least he can have enough food and clothing. Solve the immediate predicament first, and those who are plotting to harm him behind the scenes will try to take advantage of him later.

The original owner intended to participate in the spring boudoir. Although he was sent back to the Su family in semi-exile, he brought all the pen and ink books. Unfortunately, as the carriage went over the cliff and the person was rescued, those things could no longer be found. Now they are all Need to repurchase.

These were reasonable requests, and Mother Su did not respond. She immediately agreed to go to town early the next morning to buy writing and paper. Then she went to the village to invite an old carpenter to discuss with him how to make a "walking chair."

Su Zai and Ancun have the eldest surname, and the old carpenter is from the same family. In terms of seniority, Yang Yan has to call him the second cousin, but the relationship is already that of grandparents.

Su's father was the third eldest among his brothers. It had long been known in the village that his family had given birth to the wrong child, and it was inevitable that the people with whom they were not on good terms would have some strange ulterior motives behind their backs.

They said that they raised a son for others in vain, and they didn't get any benefits, and their own child was sent back half-dead, and they laughed secretly.

But Carpenter Su was close to their family. As soon as he saw the legendary sick man, he felt that he was raised by the Marquis Mansion. He looked different from the people in their village.

Later, the two of them chatted about the wheelchair. Carpenter Su felt that the child had a flexible mind, a gentle temperament, and was very approachable. He felt very comfortable getting along with him, and he was very serious and careful when making things for him.

However, although the structure of the wheelchair is not too complicated, it requires a lot of accessories. It is his first time to make it. It took a lot of time for the two of them to just communicate. It will definitely not be completed in one day.

It was getting dark, and Carpenter Su put away his tools and said, "I understand what Mr. Yan means. I'll take the rest home and do the rest. If there's anything wrong, I'll come back to you. If there are no accidents, it can be completed in three days." "

"Then I'll trouble you, Grandpa Two." Yang Yan thanked him with a smile.

"Hey! What do you mean it's not troublesome?" Su Carpenter now particularly likes this junior and said cheerfully, "You gave me such a good idea and I will use it. Maybe I will meet someone in need in the future and I can make a lot of money." Woolen cloth!"

"What makes a lot of money? Why are you here today, uncle? Have you eaten? It's time, so we can stay together." With a slightly dull voice, a man pushed the door in, just as he was going out. Father Su, who worked as a day laborer, was followed by three sons.

Brother Su and his brothers honestly called for someone first, and then stared curiously at Yang Yan in the middle of the yard, wondering why he was willing to go out of the house.

"Dad, eldest brother, second brother, third brother." Yang Yan responded with a smile, "Go and wash up quickly. Mom and sisters-in-law have already cooked and are waiting for you."

"Uh..." The brothers were stunned, and then they all grinned, "Okay, okay, fourth brother, wait until we wash our hands and carry you in!"

Carpenter Su declined the offer of dinner. Father Su sent him out. When he came back, he heard his eldest son talking about something irrelevant. He stepped forward and slapped him on the head, and whispered, "If you can't talk, just shut up."

Brother Su realized that he had stepped on his fourth brother's sore spot. He wanted to apologize but was afraid of making him more upset. He was at a loss for a moment. He was so big but looked like a child who had made a mistake, pitiful.

"Dad, it's okay," Yang Yan couldn't help laughing, "My leg is broken. I will be pointed at when I go out in the future. If my eldest brother mentions it unintentionally, I can't stand it. How can I live?"

Father Su didn't grasp the point of his words. He glared and said angrily, "Whoever dares to gossip, I will beat them until they dare not say anything!"

Yang Yan didn't know that he still had such a temper, but the original owner was only concerned with self-pity and didn't have much contact with his family. The only mother who took care of him every day had only a vague image of a nagging person. It's not surprising that he didn't know.

But the feeling of being protected is still quite good. He smiled and said, "You won't beat women too, right? The mouth is on other people's bodies, they can say whatever they want."

"What I mean is that I have figured it out. It doesn't matter if my legs are broken. I still have hands and brains. I can always live a good life and let those people envy me."

Su's father is only 42 years old this year, only one year older than his adoptive father, but his face is full of vicissitudes of fatigue. When the two stand together, they look like two generations.

He has a strong character, otherwise he can't support a large family with five sons. At this time, this tall man was moved to tears by his son's words.

Although he didn't raise him in front of him, how could he not love his own son? When he saw him being carried back in a bloody mess, he felt so distressed. Later, the child was lifeless and he sometimes felt uneasy when working.

It's a pity that he is too dumb to talk big, so he can only work hard to save more money for self-defense. Now it's good, the child has come to his senses, and everything is fine.

However, the child wanted to be open-minded, but he couldn't be upset by other people's gossip. In the future, if a man said that, he and his son would beat him up, and if a woman said that, he would let his wife and his wife tear their mouths apart. In short, no one could bully his Xiao Si!

Yang Yan didn't know that his old father had thought so much. After seeing that his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law no longer treated him like fragile glass after a speech, he was very satisfied.

However, when he sat at the table, he saw that only his bowl had rice, and there was a plate of meat in front of him. The family members ate brown rice and vegetables without any oil or water. He asked to eat the same food as everyone in the future, but was firmly rejected.

Mother Su advised: "Yan'er, we understand your intentions, but you are still very weak now. You need to eat something good to replenish yourself, otherwise you will not be able to bear it."

Father Su and his brothers and sisters-in-law all agreed, and even the two little ones learned to persuade him like the adults, and their childish voices were very cute.

In fact, the original owner had been in good health since childhood and was young, so he shouldn't have recovered so slowly. However, he felt that his future was hopeless and he was always depressed. His energy and spirit were poor and his appetite was poor, so naturally, no matter how much he took care of himself, it would not be good.

"Okay, then I will work hard to make money, and when our family has more money, we can all have a good life together." Yang Yan thought to himself that if there were no accidents, it would not take long for him to get the harvest, so he would not force everyone.
