Chapter 26 Section 4 Blood Money

Boilerman: (excitedly, incoherently) Good stuff, really good stuff!With this thing, you can have anything you want! (Turning to his wife) Do you know what I'm talking about? (The piano teacher slams the keys) Of course you know what I'm talking about.Yes, money, it is money.Money, you are a good thing.Since I have money, this day has turned blue!The road has widened!Walking on the street, the car stopped staring at me.My feet are also down.I looked up at the sky, and the sky stopped spinning; I looked down at him, and the ground stopped spinning.I no longer feel dizzy when walking on the street; I am no longer afraid when I meet people in the city.What are you afraid of?Don't be afraid of anything, I have money!When I entered the store, those girls who were painted and powdered didn't dare to look at me with white eyes anymore.They bared their teeth and grinned at me as if I were their father.If you have money, you are a father, or a grandfather; if you have no money, you are a son, or a grandson.Even the old lady roasting sweet potatoes on the corner of the wall, when she saw me, she curled her mouth and wrinkled her nose. Her face looked like a sprouted bean.Now, he yells and laughs all the way, his face looks like a flowering cornbread——Master, I will save the sweet potatoes that just came out for you! ——Dogs look down on people, who cares about your sweet potatoes? !I want to go to a big restaurant, eat fish and shrimp, and Mingai's bastard!I want to eat meat, braised pork in brown sauce, burnt pork, twice-cooked pork, and hand-grilled fat lamb!I want to drink, white wine, rice wine and wine.Money, good things, you can buy a plow if you have money, but you—you fucking you—have your face like a piece of cucumber rind!In the past six months, it's not you who support me, but me, who supports you! (stands up, walks unsteadily to the piano, the piano teacher plays the piano like crazy) You, can't you just play the broken piano twice?The sound of flicking cotton on the street is more pleasing to the ear than yours.I gave you a lot of money, right?Eight hundred and six for the first time, five hundred and four for the second time, three thousand and nine for the third time, and four thousand and seven for the fourth time!How much will you give me, thirty, forty, at most forty-eight at a time, at least six yuan at a time, but you have a widow's face, as if I owed you in my previous life, and you wear it for me before I die Xiao Xiao, wearing this damn black robe all day long!How much money can I buy to make you smile?How much money can I give you to let you put down your stinking airs? ! (Pounding the keys of the piano with his fist furiously, the sound of the piano is like thunder) Say it!

Boilerman: (drags a black plastic bag from under the bed, takes out stacks of RMB from the bag, and throws them at the piano and the piano teacher) Here you are!for you!I am the head of the family, I get money to support you!From now on, don't teach me this damn piano, I want you to cook and wash for me! Boilerman: You don't have to stare at me! (Picks up a piece of money and touches it to the piano teacher's nose) Let me tell you, this money is stained with blood, do you smell bloody smell?I don't care about tomorrow after today, if I live a day, I have to live with a man's backbone. (Staggers back to the table and sits down heavily) Come here, pour wine for me!

Boilerman: (with a stiff tongue) When you support me, I will wash your feet...I will support you, and you will wash my feet! Boilerman: Take off my shoes! Boilerman: (Pinch the piano teacher's chin) You... give me a laugh! Boilerman: (furious, slaps his wife across the face) You bitch...can't laugh, will you...can you cry?
