"Brother Ming, tell me how you want to solve this matter. Although Duhu is gone, the village will still make decisions for you, as long as it is not too much." Li Zheng said, seeing Tang Chunming Thinking of the scene when Tang Chunming ran to him in a panic to ask for help years ago, he said that Dahu had never returned so late when he went to the deep mountains. The tattered blood-stained clothes and scattered bones that obviously belonged to Du Hu told Tang Chunming the truth when he came back and he passed out on the spot.
"Also, this is Chunrong, the youngest son of Tang Sheng's family. Come to Pingshan Village to see your elder brother. He really looks like your father, and he will be successful in the exam like your father in the future." Li Zheng directly referred Tang Chun When Rong's identity was exposed, he was telling the Zhao family to stay on top of things. The Tang family didn't ignore Brother Ming. If Tang Chunrong had the status of a scholar in the future, it would be the Zhao family and Pingshan Village who would suffer.
If he dealt with it unfairly today, the people in Zhenshan Village would not let it go as soon as the news spread to Zhenshan Village. Although Brother Ming was married, he was raised by the water and soil of Zhenshan Village after all. At the same time, he was also thinking about his elder brother who was married off in this village. If people from other villages caught him, how would the people of his village stand in the future to seek justice for his wronged elder brother. Even for Lizheng in a small village, handling things is not as simple as two mouths.
Tang Chunrong's eyes were red, and he put down the little nephew in his arms, and bowed to several clan elders inside: "The student is Tang Chunrong. I came to see my brother yesterday, so I know how my brother has been living in the past few years." Unhappy, Tang Chunrong here also hopes that Lizheng and the elders of the clan can uphold justice for my brother. Brother, if you have any ideas, just say it. You and your brother-in-law have done enough in the past few years. If there is no way to survive here , Brother, follow me back to Zhenshan Village."
The corner of Wang Ying's mouth twitched, bastard, who let him make his own decisions? But I have to admit that his stepson did a really good job in today's scene.
Tang Chunming got up, his eyes were red and swollen, and he had wiped too much ginger juice, and said, "I will never object to Dahu honoring his mother. That's what Dahu and I should do." Not only Zhao Pingchuan can act, but he can also "It's just so that Brother Lin and I don't have to live in fear anymore. We can't even sleep soundly. I'm afraid we won't be able to do it without calling for help. I want Lizheng to put me and Brother Lin together." Going out on a separate account, no matter how hard and tiring it is, as long as our mother and son can stay together and not be separated."
"Aunt, Grandpa Lizheng, please, Ah Lin, don't leave Aunt." Zhao Lin's little brother threw himself to Tang Chunming's side and hugged Tang Chunming's leg tightly, fearing that he would be separated, his face was full of fear look.
Tang Chunming quickly hugged him to comfort him: "No, mother will protect Ah Lin." After this incident, he needs to comfort his son, otherwise this incident will become a shadow in his heart.
"Set up a household? Bro, establish a household?" No one expected Tang Chunming to make such a choice, or Lizheng had already realized it, but he still felt incredible when Tang Chunming said it.
"Brother Ming, have you thought it over clearly? It is not an easy matter to set up a household, can you pay the annual taxes?" The third uncle had very complicated feelings about Tang Chunming, and Zhao's reputation as the troublemaker was always affected by him. After some influence, this is something he doesn't want to see. Next, he has to find a way to reverse Zhao Laosan's reputation. This scientific examination must be taken, which is the hope of the entire Zhao family. So he felt that Brother Ming's move was very inappropriate. He could discuss it with him and Lizheng in private, but if he insisted on making the whole Pingshan village known and asking for justice, wouldn't this force them to come forward to deal with it
In any case, the reputation and status of Ge'er's family is not as important as that of a man. For the older generation, it is of course Ge'er who chooses to sacrifice when necessary.
Is Brother Ming's move to completely sever ties with the Zhao family? With his frail brother, can he really support the family? The third uncle expressed doubts, usually Zhao Dahu did most of the work in the field, and now that he is pregnant again, what will he use to support himself and his little brother? Could it be that they depend on the Tang family
The people around were also discussing that Tang Chunming's boldness today had surpassed their previous impression of Brother Ming, but seeing Tang Chunming's pale face and swaying body, and seeing Brother Zhao Lin's skinny They are so pitiful, they feel pity, maybe they were forced into a desperate situation by the Zhao family and had to make such a choice. If you want to talk about their impressions of Mrs. Zhao and Wang Chunhua, they really think they can make a choice. When the matter comes, it will be a fact of life to make cooked rice from uncooked rice, but Brother Ming can't tell the hardships.
Except for a small number of selfish, talkative and trouble-loving brothers, most people still sympathized with Tang Chunming, and scolded them back on the spot when they said sour words to the former kind.
But there are some people who can't see that everyone is standing on Tang Chunming's side to speak for him, so they like to do things that make things worse. Only by seeing the miserable life of others can they show their own pride.
The husband of Li Conggen's family, who had helped Wang Chunhua speak before, said leisurely while eating melon seeds: "I see, I'm afraid that Dahu has earned more than this amount of money in the past few years. I'm afraid I can't afford the money. Hurry up and share it out, alas, when the time comes, grabbing the money won't make those men stick to him, isn't that the idea of the Dahu family?"
"Bah! You think that everyone is as greedy as you. What you did a few years ago, you really think that everyone will forget it after a few years. Will your grandparents and younger brothers watch you from the sky? Treating their grandsons and sons, your family won’t be too upset if you occupy your nephew’s fields and houses!” Someone immediately cursed mercilessly.
"Who is greedy? Back then, my nephew was willing to go. You meddle in our own business and come to our house. Do you really think our Li family is easy to bully? We just guard these fields and houses for our nephew, is it possible?" Let your family watch? Chick!" Li Conggen's family suddenly shouted at the man.
At this moment, a man ran outside, out of breath and sweating in the first month, and shouted at the crowd: "Is Li Conggen's family there? Your nephew actually came from the battlefield!" I’m back, go home and have a look, your nephew came back from the battlefield alive.”
"What?! This is impossible?!" Li Conggen's family immediately screamed.
"Impossible, isn't it said that he died on the battlefield?" Some people also doubted, but no news has come over how many years have passed, and everyone thought it was gone.
"Haha," the person who was pointed and scolded by Li Conggen's family was immediately happy, "Didn't you say that Li Conggen's family was guarding for the nephew? It's not that the nephew is back, why don't you hurry up and let Tian and the house go back?" .”
Many people laughed when they heard this.
But Lizheng's complexion is ugly, this is the Li family's business, he doesn't have any honor to be Lizheng, Li Zheng gave Li Conggen's family a hard look, Li Conggen's family panicked, it can't be true, right? , How could that little bastard come back alive: "It can't be a fake, no, I have to go back and have a look." Applying oil on the soles of his feet, he slipped out of the crowd in the blink of an eye, and he usually doesn't work so fast.
Li Zheng also wanted to hurry to see what was going on, so he had to deal with the matter in front of him quickly: "Brother Ming, are you sure you want to do this? You need to know that once you set up a household, you can't go back on your word. When the time comes, the government will come down and investigate I can't protect you here anymore."
Tang Chunming was also happy when he heard the news just now. The husband of Li Conggen's family and Wang Chunhua have always been in trouble. Many bad things about him in the village were spread by Wang Chunhua through this person. Hate.
"Of course, I have to ask Lizheng to help me out at that time. I think it's no problem that this house and land belong to my household." Tang Chunming wanted to sort out his personal property.
"certainly… "
Before he could finish his main words, Mrs. Zhao over there heard it. Why did the house of the Zhao family let this bitch take the land of the Zhao family: "Bah! You have a good idea, why should the land of the Zhao family be taken away by this bitch?" The house of the Zhao family belongs to you? It was left by Dahu, of course it belongs to my Zhao family, what are you, you didn’t even leave a root for Dahu, and you used the house and land to hand over to the wild man?"
"Wild man?" Tang Chun became angry, "Is it the wild man that Grandma showed me? Grandma is the same as me. Could it be that she is doing something with Zhao's house and land..."
"Shut up!" The third uncle roared angrily, these two are outrageous, can they say these words casually? Do you still want to be famous? The third uncle glared at Tang Chunming, the restless elder brother, and yelled at Zhao Ama, "Zhao family, when you separated the family, you gave Dahu everything. After all these years, Dahu Aren't the couple respectful enough?"
"Third uncle, Uncle Lizheng, I didn't want these things for no reason." Tang Chunming's impression of this third uncle was not as good as that of Lizheng, and he could see that the third uncle was probably thinking about the Zhao family's affairs. If you treat him as an outsider, what you do now is just for others to see, and you won’t really think about it for him. "After the separation, I had nothing but two acres of land. The house was built with my dowry. I still have the ticket stubs in the pawnshop, so this house is my dowry, not the Zhao family's. As for the two acres of land, it will be used to raise Brother Lin and the one in my belly. Of course, if Ah If Mama doesn't regard them as the Zhao family, it's another matter."
Thinking about it now, he wished that Grandma Zhao would take back the two acres of land, so that he could be open and aboveboard and disrespect Grandma Zhao, which had nothing to do with the Zhao family, otherwise, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to come to the Zhao family's gate.
Aunt Zhao's eyes are red, she is angry, she has lost a lot of money, and he already regards this house and land as his own, so she is unwilling to watch them fly out again: "The one in your stomach is also a loss of money. What kind of Zhao family, if you want to occupy the house and land, don't even think about it, unless I die here."
"Mother, please don't say a few words." Zhao Pingchuan knew that his mother was unwilling, but if today's matter was to end, if he wanted to restore his reputation of persecuting his brother and nephew, he had to let Tang Chunming do what he wanted, so that he would still have a chance to tell outsiders. The Zhao family is kind, they gave up the land and house to outsiders on their own initiative, and he can't let his short-sighted mother hurt him anymore.
"Lizheng, Third Uncle, no matter what you say, brother is still my second brother, Brother Lin is still my nephew, my Zhao family will not treat them badly."
Wang Chunhua also bitterly pinched Zhao Mei's little brother who didn't know when he would come back from behind. The little brother who stood quietly watching the adult's quarrel was so painful that his eyes were red, but he didn't dare to shout or struggle, otherwise grandma would It will hurt him even more.
Are Wang Chunhua and Mrs. Zhao really natural mothers? They are the most similar in terms of being greedy for money. Wang Chunhua's calculations are clattering in her heart. She has long regarded the current big house of the Zhao family as her own. Now they His heart was bleeding like old mother Zhao's. If old mother Zhao couldn't get Zhao Dahu's house, he couldn't get Zhao's house now, and the expression on his face was so distressed that his face was distorted.
Tang Chunming didn't care how Lao Ma Zhao yelled, or how Zhao Pingchuan showed his generous and benevolent side, but just looked at Li Zheng, Third Uncle and others. Lizheng discussed with the third uncle and several other clan elders, and the third uncle stood up and said: "Since you have taken the land from Dahu, you will be responsible for what Dahu should honor in the future." But regardless of whether the old man's actions are right or wrong, it is a serious crime not to respect the old man.
"Bah, who wants him to be filial? I'm still worried that one day I'll be poisoned to death with a bag of medicine." Aunt Zhao was bleeding from pain, but she also saw Zhao Pingchuan pointing to his eyes that he is today He hated Tang Chunming completely, wishing to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
"Return the two acres of land to the Zhao family. In the future, Brother Ming, including the two children, will have nothing to do with the Zhao family. Aunt Zhao can no longer rely on her status as an elder to persecute Brother Ming, otherwise I will be a mother." I'm really worried about leaving Brother Ming in Pingshan Village, Aunt Zhao's reputation has spread throughout the nearby villages, and my Tang family can't afford to support this brother." Suddenly a strange voice sounded, and Tang Chunming thought Surprised, Tang Chunrong was extremely pleasantly surprised. It was Wang Ying, Tang Chunming's stepmother, who spoke.
The people in front of Wang Ying stepped aside, and many people had either never seen it before or had no memory of it, but a brother who married from Zhenshan Village remembered him. There were so many people before, and Wang Ying was behind them again. No one paid attention, and now he shouted in surprise: "The Tang family? Brother Ming's mother."
The third uncle's hand paused slightly, originally he thought Ming Ge'er had no support from his mother's family, but he didn't expect that this stepmother would give Ming Ge'er a head, so he, as an elder, could no longer suppress Ming Ge'er. Forget it, he is willing to tear it apart completely as he wishes, and he doesn't believe that a brother can support the family. At that time, it will be his brother Ming who will be ashamed, no wonder the Zhao family.
Wang Chunhua also shrank back. Compared with Wang Ying, his skill is scum. Wang Ying's skill is well-known in the village, and they all come from the same Wang family village.
Wang Ying went all the way to Tang Chunming and Tang Chunrong, and greeted Li Zheng and several patriarchs. Tang Chunming wisely stood behind Wang Ying, looking obedient, the corners of Wang Ying's mouth twitched, this stepson used to be really docile, but now he is just for others to see, but inside he has changed. In fact, as long as he is not helpless, he really hopes that his stepson can change his temperament. He really looked down on his stepson before, and he will also count on him not to drag Ah Rong down.
So to help people to the end, Wang Ying continued to say after seeing the ceremony: "I didn't want to be such a villain when there was a big tiger in the past, but now that the big tiger is gone, I don't want to hold on to the past. How does brother make a living, but I, as a mother, have to ask, if Pingshan Village really can’t tolerate Brother Ming, I can still talk in Zhenshan Village.”
This is a severe slap in the face. If you really take away the house and drive Brother Ming out of Pingshan Village, the brothers and men in Pingshan Village will be ashamed to associate with people from other villages. Who would dare to marry Brother Ming? Enter Pingshan Village? Even third uncle's face turned red.
The several patriarchs made eye contact, and they all felt that it was not good to treat them harshly any longer, so they signaled Li Zheng to deal with the matter quickly, and followed what Brother Ming and his mother said. Lizheng twitched his cheeks. He originally planned to give the two acres of land to Brother Ming. There would be a stutter in the field, but the third uncle didn't want to insist on filial piety to keep Brother Ming from doing what he wanted. It's good now, even the two children will have nothing to do with the Zhao family in the future.
"Then according to what the Zhao family, Brother Ming and Ah Mo of the Tang family wanted, the house and the five acres of mountain land belonged to Tang Chunming's family, and the children in Brother Zhao Lin's and Brother Ming's stomachs will have nothing to do with the Zhao family in the future. The family does not need the filial piety of Brother Ming and the children, and Brother Ming and the children will not be able to find the Zhao family if they have difficulties in the future, even if they cannot survive, Zhao Laosan, the Zhao family, do you think so?"
Originally, Mrs. Zhao still had an opinion. The five-acre mountain land was not picked up by his son Zhao Dahu, why should it belong to this bitch, but later, when he heard that this bitch and the little bitch would not be able to find the Zhao family even if they were dying, they felt relieved. Cool. Although Wang Ying has now stepped forward for his stepson, in his opinion, he is just afraid that his stepson will return to the Tang family and rely on the Tang family for support, so he fights for the house and land for him, but Wang Ying will not go if Tang Chunming lives. Never mind, I really want to see how this bitch will kneel down and beg him for a meal, he must give it away today!
So Lizheng is also a smart person. Although these words may not sound good to others, they touched the heart of Mrs. Zhao, and she didn't object to patting her thigh and saying, "Okay, my Zhao family doesn't care about him eating a bite of food. You can do it later." I don't even want to eat a bite of the Zhao family's food, I'd rather feed pigs and chickens instead!"
"I also agree that even if my child and I starved to death, we would not come to the Zhao family. My Tang family still has the backbone." Tang Chunming also said.
"Well, everything has been negotiated, Boss Zhao can also come out, and set up the paperwork with the third brother Zhao, so that I can help Brother Ming to set up the account. From now on, Brother Ming will still be from my Pingshan Village. I, Pingshan Village, can't do anything like kick out my married brother." Li Zhengyi said sternly.
A timid man walked out of Zhao's courtyard and smiled at Lizheng. All the brothers and men in Pingshan Village showed disdainful eyes. Such a man is really looked down upon. My mother-in-law and husband are making trouble outside. I didn't expect him to actually Shrinking at home without moving a bit, can such a man as Mrs. Zhao be reliable in the future? Zhao Dahu is gone, and only Zhao Laosan can be relied on in the future. I don't know what Zhao Laosan will be like in the future.
