Chapter 235: Drive Out of the Village

Carpenter Zhang pushed open the door of the Zhang family’s old house.

The yard was covered with snow, which made a rustling sound when you stepped on it.

The two men looked at the footprints in the yard. There were only footprints coming out, no footprints going back. They were afraid that the bastard would find out that his tracks were exposed and would not dare to come back.

Despite this, the two of them still went in.

A coughing sound came from inside. The owner of the voice heard footsteps outside and said weakly, "Son, I'm very hungry. Give me something to eat!"

Carpenter Zhang felt sad when he heard this voice. If it were in the past, he would have gone in to serve Grandma Zhang. But after going through so many things, he also figured out who he should really care about. Even if he was soft-hearted and reluctant, he had to be cruel for the sake of his wife and children.

Zhang Dazhui pushed open the door and walked into the room.

Grandma Zhang was lying on the bed, covered with a tattered quilt. She sat up with great effort, and when she saw Zhang Dazhu, her old face was filled with excitement.

"Dazhu, you're here to see grandma. I knew you were the most filial and wouldn't watch grandma starve to death or freeze to death. Good boy, come and take grandma away!"

"I'm not here to see you, I'm here to see Zhang Lei." Zhang Dazhu said calmly, "Zhang Lei just went to see my sister-in-law again, causing her to have a miscarriage. Now we don't know if the baby can be kept."

"Why is that brat still so naughty? Dazhu, I've already advised him, but he didn't listen to me. This matter has nothing to do with me! I won't care about your uncle anymore. I'm on your side. When Chunni gives birth to a child, I'll take care of her. Dazhu, take grandma away quickly. She's been hungry for a few days and she's really dying."

"This was your original choice. Now that you have made it, don't regret it." Zhang Dazhu said calmly, "I just came to inform you. If Zhang Lei falls into our hands again this time, we will not be polite to him. It's useless even if you come to us crying and making a fuss. We will not let Zhang Lei go."

Carpenter Zhang did not come in.

He was worried that he was being soft-hearted.

Grandma Zhang's crying sound came from inside.

Zhang's father and son left immediately and continued to look for Zhang Lei's whereabouts.

Zhang Lei had committed a crime and was afraid to go home, so he had to leave the village. As for where he would flee to, it was not something the two of them could figure out. So Zhang Dazhu immediately gathered the men he was friendly with in the village, paid them to help catch Zhang Lei, and told the village chief about it.

A lot of things happened in the village last year, which affected the reputation of the village as never before. If the village chief encounters those bad apples that affect the reputation of the village again, he will never tolerate them.

When Zhang's father and son gathered the villagers to arrest Zhang Lei, Xiao Chunni's situation had stabilized and she was carried back to their home by Zhang Erzhu.

After such a thing happened, no one was in the mood to have fun. The Zhang family returned to their own homes to look after Xiao Chunni, and the Tang family helped to the end. According to Xiao Chunni's condition, they went to find Dr. Shi and brought Dr. Shi back for a follow-up visit. After Dr. Shi took Xiao Chunni's pulse, he praised Tang Yixiao's ability to rescue her.

"You should thank this young man. If it weren't for his reasonable arrangements, this child would not have the blessing of coming into this world. Now, as long as we take good care of him, there will be no big problem."

"Thank you, doctor." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Doctor Shi asked, "Which doctor did you learn medicine from?"

Tang Yi smiled and said, "There's a new clinic opened in the county town, the doctor's surname is Wei."

"So it was him!" Doctor Shi said regretfully, "If it was any other doctor, I would have tried to snatch you away. But if it was him, I wouldn't have been able to snatch you away. We're both doctors, and I've heard of his name, so I went to look for him. I've also secretly observed him treating patients, and his medical skills are indeed superb."

Tang Dafu drove the carriage to send Doctor Shi back.

Qin Huiyin brought a bag of braised meat for Doctor Shi to eat with his wine.

In the room, Xiao Chunni touched her belly and cried, "Fortunately the baby is fine, otherwise I would really regret it."

"You are pregnant now, don't cry." Zhou wiped Xiao Chunni's tears. "This child is blessed with a good fortune. When he is born, he will be the treasure of our family."

Pangzi walked in with chicken soup: "Eat more good food to replenish your body during this period."

Zhou looked at Li Taohua and the others and said, "Sister, thank you so much for your family's help. Your family is blessed. Anyone who makes friends with your family will have good luck."

"It's our fault, actually. If we hadn't come up with all these things, you wouldn't have neglected Chunni." Li Taohua said, "I hope you don't blame us."

"Sister, please don't say that! We never had such an idea." Zhou was anxious when she heard it. "If it weren't for Zhang Lei, we would still be having fun. It's our own dirty business, and it disturbed your fun. Please don't be angry."

After returning from Zhang's house, Li Taohua turned around and looked at Qin Huiyin: "My daughter, I wasn't really talking about you just now."

"I know." Qin Huiyin hugged Li Taohua's arm. "Mom is testing their thoughts. If they really have such thoughts, I will definitely not associate with them anymore."

"No one with a clear mind would blame you for this. However, there are always people with unclear minds in this world." Li Taohua held Qin Huiyin's hand. "My daughter is sincere to them. If they have other thoughts about my daughter, don't blame me for turning my back on them."

"Aunt is so smart." Xue Weifeng said admiringly.

"That's not as good as Master Xue." Li Taohua glanced at him, "I told you not to give us money, and you really listened to me. You didn't give us money, and you only lost to us."

"Aunt, that's because you guys are so good at playing cards." Xue Weifeng said innocently, "I'm not as good as you guys, so I accept the defeat with all my heart."

"Flatterer." Tang Yi curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly.

What on earth does this guy want to do? If he continues to be so attentive, I'm really worried that there will be another son in the family.

"Little brother, you looked so handsome just now. I almost worship you. You can't say that to me. I like you so much, and you want to hurt my heart."

Tang Yi smiled: "..."

"What are we having for dinner?" Li Taohua asked Qin Huiyin. "In this weather, let's have hot pot!"

As they were preparing to have dinner, there was a new development next door: Zhang Lei was arrested in another village ten miles away from their village.

If there weren't so many people, it would be impossible to catch this loach. Now that he has been caught, the village chief has also announced his punishment, which is to kick him out of the Zhang family tree and drive him out of the village, and not allow him to set foot in the village again.
