Chapter 49
When Tang Qingqing heard this, she immediately became anxious.
"If she refuses to admit it, is there nothing we can do about it?"
Director Zhang laughed and said, "We police officers are not freeloaders. She is just a girl in her early twenties. Although she has her own little thoughts, she can't stand the interrogation."
Among those who were taken to the police station, few would tell the truth in the beginning. Each one was better at acting than the other, acting as if he was the most wronged person in the world and that everyone's questioning of him was an insult.
However, under the bombardment of various evidences and with the help of interrogation techniques, the criminal's psychological defenses can eventually be broken through.
In this process, it is easy for criminals to cover up their real crimes with lies, but one lie requires countless lies to make up for it, and they gradually fall into the trap of the interrogators, and then are broken down bit by bit, and finally have to confess the truth in order to seek lenient treatment.
There are very few people who can pass interrogation without any mistakes, and many of them are criminals as well as ordinary people.
Unless one has received professional training or is truly wrongly accused, it is difficult to resist interrogation.
Everything Jiang Pei'e did seemed to be carefully planned, but in fact it was full of mistakes.
As long as they can confirm that there is a problem, they can press on and eventually force the other party to confess.
"Jiang Pei'e had been planning this for a long time. When we interrogated Li Zhiyi before, he confessed honestly. The reason why she thought of this method of framing people was that someone mentioned it to him. He was eager to return to the city, so he fell into the trap."
When Director Zhang was interrogating Li Zhiyi, he actually began to suspect Jiang Pei'e.
When Li Zhiyi recounted his criminal experience, he mentioned Jiang Pei'e's name.
He said that although he was eager to get the quota, he had no intention of framing Zhai Hongyi.
But Jiang Pei'e mentioned in his ear from time to time that Zhai Hongyi took advantage of his association with Tang Qingqing and also shared the credit, so the team decided to give the spot to him.
Jiang Pei'e also said that the brigade originally considered Li Zhiyi because he performed very well, was good at uniting comrades, and was a high school graduate.
Jiang Pei'e often dealt with the brigade cadres, and the rumors outside were spreading widely, so Li Zhiyi believed this statement.
The more cases Zhai Hongyi, Tang Qingqing and Wang Heizi solved, the more Li Zhiyi felt that Zhai Hongyi was a particularly calculating person.
So driven by the quota, Li Zhiyi did this.
Not only to grab a spot, but also for revenge.
Of course, these confessions cannot be fully believed. Every criminal will make himself sound innocent and shift the blame onto others in an attempt to mitigate his own crime.
But if Li Zhiyi was the one who assaulted Jiang Pei'e, then he would not have mentioned Jiang Pei'e's name so often, which would increase suspicion on him.
Compared with theft and frame-up, rape is a much more serious crime.
When Director Zhang interrogated Li Zhiyi whether he had ever assaulted other women, Li Zhiyi was completely stunned and refused to admit that he had ever done such a dirty thing.
Li Zhiyi said: "I want to go back to the city and get a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Even if I did something bad, it was for this purpose. How could I go astray and do something that would ruin my future!"
When Tang Qingqing heard this, she thought it made sense.
The footprints that Li Zhiyi left near Mrs. Zhou's house were very messy. He paced back and forth under the tree, which showed that he was very hesitant and conflicted at the time.
Before he committed the theft, he went through a fierce ideological struggle.
This means that he was nervous and panicky at that time.
Under these circumstances, it is unlikely that he would still have the mind to violate a lesbian.
After all, this will increase the risk of exposure. Even if you have this evil intention, you shouldn't put everything together.
Judging from Li Zhiyi's usual behavior, he shouldn't be the kind of person who gets dizzy when seeing beauty.
If it wasn’t Li Zhiyi, it could have been someone else.
The other party knew Tang Qingqing's ability, so they were very careful at the scene, so it is possible that they did not leave any traces.
However, the subsequent evidence made Director Zhang more suspicious of Jiang Pei'e, so he summoned her and finally found out the truth.
Jiang Pei'e started planning very early on. In fact, she not only said words of encouragement in front of Li Zhiyi, but other educated youth also couldn't bring themselves to do it even though they were tempted.
After all, this is not only a disgraceful thing, but also a crime.
If you get caught, your future will be ruined.
Everyone does want to go back to the city and their hometowns, but most of them are just ordinary people and will not take the initiative to do evil.
Seeing that Li Zhiyi was obviously attracted to her, Jiang Pei'e kept an eye on the movements of the male educated youth.
As soon as Li Zhiyi went out in the middle of the night, Jiang Pei'e noticed it, so she followed him out quietly.
She arranged that incident when she was sure that Li Zhiyi was going to steal something. The wound on his forehead was caused by herself.
Jumping into the river in front of Aunt Guihua was also something I had planned long ago.
Jiang Pei'e had a good relationship with the villagers, and especially liked chatting with the aunties, so she easily got Aunt Guihua's habit of washing clothes by the river before dawn, which led to the following incident.
Director Zhang sighed: "With such a smart and energetic kid, there are so many things he can do."
Tang Qingqing pursed her lips, "Is returning to the city so important?"
No matter what, this land feeds them. Although the city is prosperous, the prosperity is not open to everyone.
If they can't find a job, life in the city is not necessarily better than in the countryside.
In the countryside, as long as you work hard, you can always have food to eat. But in the city, if you don’t have a job, you really have nowhere to find food.
Tang Qingqing has also seen the carefree days in the books, as if they were not from the same world.
There is envy, but the yearning is not that strong.
In her opinion, every kind of life has its good side and its bad side.
The most important thing is to cherish what you have now.
It is understandable that the educated youth want to return to the city, and there is nothing wrong in actively striving for it, but it is disgusting to do so in this way.
Director Zhang has seen a lot of this over the years and doesn't think it's strange:
"For city people, our country is really not that great."
"What will happen to Jiang Zhiqing?"
Director Zhang: "After making such a big fuss, she will definitely not stay. She has finally achieved her wish."
Jiang Pei'e caused such a big commotion, it is certainly not that easy to wipe it out, and she will definitely be punished accordingly.
Since she has done it, she will make it public and accept everyone's criticism.
Not only here in the brigade, but also when Jiang Pei'e is sent back, the matter will be explained clearly and she will be punished by law.
Tang Qingqing was filled with emotion. As someone who could predict the future, she felt mixed emotions seeing them act so foolishly.
If they just hold on for another year, they will see hope next year.
Even if they could not return to the city through the college entrance examination, the educated youth would return to the city in large numbers soon and no longer hinder them.
When that time comes, they will regret it so much.
Tang Qingqing put these thoughts behind her. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. Although she felt emotional, she would not be affected by it.
"Director Zhang, you guys are amazing!"
Tang Qingqing was worried that if Jiang Pei'e refused to admit it, how could the case be solved?
Several days have passed, so many tests can no longer be done.
Director Zhang laughed and said, "You are much better than me. You have trained your eyes to be sharp at such a young age. Now our police department can solve cases faster."
Most of the cases that police stations usually deal with are small cases such as theft. Serious cases such as murder and robbery are rare.
However, although the cases are small in number, they are numerous, their manpower is very limited, and they are often difficult to investigate.
Many people whose belongings have been stolen do not know when their belongings were stolen, and the clues they can provide are very limited.
With Tang Qingqing joining, their small police station had a lot less work to do.
To this end, the Public Security Bureau specially applied to the organization so that Tang Qingqing could receive subsidies.
Although the money is not much, it is already very rich for Tang Qingqing.
A country girl like her could live comfortably with only ten or eight yuan a month.
If there are any benefits during the holidays, a portion will be left for her.
Although Tang Qingqing's two followers did not receive any bonus subsidies, they always received a lot of benefits during the holidays. Every time they went to the commune, they could eat and drink for free in the Public Security Bureau cafeteria.
Tang Qingqing shook her head in embarrassment, "I'm lucky, I got to know my master."
"That is also the result of your own efforts. We have been trying to get your master to come down the mountain to assist us in our work over the years. But because of his past experiences, he was unwilling to show his abilities.
Although the organization understands, it is still a pity. We are all very happy that he can accept you as his apprentice. This skill has finally been passed on to someone."
This was not the first time that Director Zhang had sighed in front of Tang Qingqing. Every time Tang Qingqing heard this, she felt that she had a heavy responsibility on her shoulders and that she must study hard so as not to disgrace the reputation of her master.
Old Liu seemed to not care about Ma Su, but Tang Qingqing knew that he still liked her very much in his heart.
It's just that the painful memories made him unwilling to touch it again, but since Tang Qingqing started tracking her, he seemed indifferent, but in fact he was very concerned about the specific situation.
Every time Wang Heizi described the situation at that time, Old Liu would prick up his ears and listen very carefully.
A few days later, the brigade held a criticism meeting against Jiang Pei'e and Li Zhiyi. Although these two people were not present, they had to explain everything clearly to everyone and remind those present not to make the same mistake.
Those who had already received some information, especially the educated youth, were all shocked when they heard the exact news.
They had never imagined that there was such an inside story. Some of the male educated youth even broke out in sweat because they had been tempted before but had never made up their minds.
要是他們真這麽做了，李志毅的下場就是他們的下場。
如果運氣再差點，可能就被當成強-奸犯了！
汪瑩惡狠狠道：“她這算盤打得也太好了，要是誣陷成功，翟弘毅不管認不認她都能獲得好處。”
溫雪蘭整個人都懵了：“這也太荒謬了吧？怎麽有女性拿自己的名聲開玩笑。”
“有什麽不行的，要是這件事成了，翟弘毅百口莫辯，他想要減輕罪行，可以跟姜佩娥商量兩個人結婚，把強X罪壓下來，變成兩情相悅。”
翟弘毅雖然沒有說過自己的身世，可大家從他的言行舉止還有帶來的東西，已經家裏人寄來的東西都知道，他家境不錯，還是大城市裏的人。
溫雪蘭也是最好的佐證，她雖然也沒有明說什麽，可從只字片語中也能猜得出來。
若是能跟翟弘毅好上，以後也就不用愁了。
翟弘毅雖然年紀小，可思想成熟，長得又高大英俊，很多女知青還有本地女孩子都很喜歡他。
哪怕經常冷臉不理會人，依然抵擋不住這種熱情。
如果翟弘毅死活不肯扛下這個鍋，姜佩娥也能利用這件事回城，甚至獲得工農兵大學名額作為補償。
怎麽算，都是不虧的。
只是姜佩娥低估了唐青青和本地派出所的能力，自以為布置得天衣無縫，其實錯漏百出。
于是，就落得現在下場，以後都沒臉見人了。
溫雪蘭：“可她就不擔心回去之後被人說三道四，還會影響她的婚姻？這可是一輩子的事啊。”
“你傻啊，她又沒有被怎麽樣，回去直接不說這事也沒人知道。而且新婚的時候一驗不就知道了，根本不用擔心什麽。”
“這算計得也太深了吧！”
溫雪蘭只覺得可怕，還好這些計謀沒有使在她的身上，否則有嘴都說不清楚了。
其他人也是這麽想的，平常看姜佩娥是個熱情大方的人，雖然喜歡耍小聰明偷懶，可也無傷大雅。
大家都想法子偷懶，她有這樣的舉動也不足為奇。
可沒想到心思竟然這麽深！
知青們後怕的時候，孫芹卻心情大好。
唐青青看到孫芹滿臉帶笑地進學校，她跟孫芹說老師好的時候，她竟然笑着朝她點了點頭，整個人完全都不一樣了。
放學的時候，唐青青以前在低年級時的同桌還跟唐青青說，孫芹今天上課比平時有意思多了。
唐青青鬧不明白是怎麽一回事，不過孫芹願意認真教書，那是最好不過了。
唐青青在翟弘毅這邊補完課，做完作業，王黑子溜了過來。
“孫老師最近是不是樂歪了？”
唐青青詫異：“你咋知道？”
王黑子一副果然如此的模樣，“當初孫老師嫁給會計弟弟，中間是出了一點問題的。”
“啥問題啊？”
“會計家一直覺得孫老師是使了計策才嫁給現在丈夫的，他們其實看上的是姜佩娥，都是她橫叉一杠。
會計家都不喜歡孫老師這種有心機的女人，沒少在背後說她的不好，總想着當初要是娶了姜佩娥就好了。”
唐青青不解：“他們為啥會有這樣的想法啊？”
“具體咋回事我也不知道，有人猜估摸就是不小心看到人大姑娘光着了，所以只能認了娶了。”
王黑子低聲道：“孫老師好像也不想嫁給現在的丈夫，一心是想要回城的。”
唐青青一聽頓時明了：“現在大家發現姜佩娥不是個好的，就覺得當初是誤會孫老師了？”
“沒錯，孫老師也出了一口惡氣。要不然成天被婆家人說，當初怎麽娶了你這麽個媳婦，要是誰誰誰嫁進來肯定比你好一百倍，誰聽了心裏能舒坦啊？”
“現在好了，他們看上的兒媳婦竟然是這麽個鬼樣子，這臉被打得啊。所以孫老師一下子貧農翻身，可不得樂成花兒一樣！”
唐青青：“你一個大老爺們咋知道這麽多亂七八糟的事啊？”
王黑子半點沒覺得不好意思，“我不打入大媽大嬸的圈子裏，怎麽套雞蛋？家裏的雞蛋都是掌握在這些人手裏的。”
別小看這些大媽大嬸，她們的消息特別靈通，不僅是自己大隊，其他大隊很多情況都門兒清。
王黑子和翟弘毅私底下做買賣，是沒法明目張膽地去收的，否則被逮到那可就完了。
要是有人看他們不順眼，也很容易被舉報。
所以每次去一個地方，都是先找當地的人套近乎，然後讓本地人去收雞蛋，這樣才更加穩妥。
可他們兩個外鄉人也不能直挺挺這麽進去套近乎啊，這就得利用本大隊七大姑八大姨她們在其他大隊的各種聯系了。
“毅哥說過，七個人可以認識全世界，咱們就是這麽一層層編制關系網的。”
跟大媽大嬸打交道多了，八卦的來源也就更多了。
唐青青豎起大拇指，“你厲害的。”
“還行吧，主要是毅哥帶得好。”
翟弘毅眼神瞟過來，“跟我沒關系，我不過這麽一說，事兒都是你去辦的。”
他們現在在公社也混開了，只要他們帶着東西過去就能迅速找到買家，想買什麽也很容易找到賣家。
唐青青沒有摻和他們的生意，老老實實地去追蹤破案，以及編制藤筐。
翟弘毅和王黑子都沒有要她的抽成，免費給她帶過去賣，而且也不用她掏錢買雞蛋和肉。
現在唐青青也就早上的時候在家裏吃個飯，午飯和晚飯都是跑到老劉頭那開火，保證每天的營養。
翟弘毅和王黑子每次上公社，都能淘回來不少好東西，這才讓唐青青逐漸把之前虧的給慢慢補回來，小臉紅潤，個子竄得特別快。
經常有人喜歡說他們兩人占了唐青青的便宜，明明是唐青青的本事，他們不過是陪着，功勞也撈了不少。
可在唐青青看來，她才占了大便宜。
這年頭想隔三岔五吃到肉，每天基本都能吃上雞蛋、白面，可是很多人想都不敢想的事。
這也使得唐青青雖然吃好喝好，依然存了不少錢。
老劉頭的精神頭也越來越好，走路越來越有勁，這讓唐青青心裏非常的高興。
王黑子：“毅哥，鬧這麽一出，大隊肯定會把工農兵大學的名額給你，你是不是就要離開我們了？”
提起這個，王黑子的表情很是悵然。
跟着翟弘毅有肉吃，他要是走了可咋辦？
雖然生意還可以照樣做，但是沒有翟弘毅的樣子和身手唬人，他會艱難許多。
別看這些小生意不起眼還見不得光，很多人都搶着做呢。
看着好像都是他在耍脾氣，實際上做決定的都是翟弘毅。
要不是翟弘毅敏銳，他都被抓好幾回了。
“舍不得我？”
“那當然了！”王黑子毫不掩飾自己內心情緒。
“不過毅哥你要是上了大學，以後肯定就不一樣了，你會不會忘了我們啊？”
翟弘毅揉揉他的腦袋：“胡說八道什麽呢。”
“會不會啊？”王黑子锲而不舍。
“我腦子又沒有坑，怎麽可能會把你們給忘了。”
王黑子頓時樂了，可一想到翟弘毅要走，又陷入憂傷之中。
就在這種一邊憂傷一邊歡樂中，比平時多吃了一個雜糧馍馍。
正如同王黑子所料，大隊長找到了翟弘毅。
“經過我們大隊委讨論，鑒于你平時的表現，一致認為你最有資格獲得這次工農兵大學名額。”
和大隊長所想的不一樣，翟弘毅并沒有露出歡喜的神色，表情依然非常平靜。
“大隊長，我還想在鄉下多鍛煉幾年，深入了解農村生活，改變它貧苦的現狀。”
大隊長直接愣住了，完全沒有想過翟弘毅會拒絕。
大隊長差點伸出手，想摸一摸他的額頭，看他是不是發了高燒，腦袋被燒糊塗了。
“翟知青，這可是工農兵大學的名額，我們大隊很難得才獲得一個名額，以前從來沒有這樣的好事。”
“為什麽這次會輪到我們大隊？”
大隊長愣了愣：“這是組織上的安排。”
“我還是之前的意見，我插隊的時間太短，還沒有達到回城的标準。”
“翟知青，你可得想清楚了。以後可不一定有這樣的好機會，你錯過了有可能就回不去了。”
大隊長是真心為翟弘毅着想，擔心他年輕氣盛所以放棄了這個大好的機會。
這可不是簡單的回城，是要上大學，一出來就可以捧鐵飯碗的。
“是不是有人說些什麽？你別理會那些話，我們都是公平公正公開的。”
“我想得很清楚，從一開始知道有名額下來，我就做好了決定，并不是一時興起。”
大隊長看他态度堅決，心裏五味雜陳。
有的人費盡心思想要獲得名額，有的人明明有資格拿到，卻完全不當一回事，人和人之間差別也太大了。
翟弘毅的這個行為，反倒讓大隊長高看了他。
“這是大事，我再給你幾天時間好好想想，要是你反悔了就過來跟我說一聲。不過時間緊迫，我只能給你三天的時間。”
名單得要立刻報上去，這樣才好做安排。
翟弘毅感謝大隊長的好意，卻也表明自己不會更改，于是就離開了。
他一走，其他大隊幹部圍了上來。
“他竟然拒絕了，這也太意外了。”
“原本以為他是個刺頭，沒想到覺悟這麽高。”
“要是李志毅和姜佩娥兩個知青知道，他們要陷害的人，壓根就沒有要拿到名額的意思，不知道該怎麽想？”
那兩個知青怎麽想，大家并不清楚。
其他知青們知道這件事，掀起一片嘩然。
大隊長特地把翟弘毅叫過去，大家都猜到是怎麽一回事。
他從大隊委出來，就有知青圍上去恭喜他。
翟弘毅一張開，所有人都愣住了。
“啥玩意？你拒絕？你是吃了什麽迷魂藥？還是腦子被門夾了！”
溫雪蘭更是意外，憂心忡忡：“小毅，你再生氣也不能拿自己的前途開玩笑啊。”
大家都摸不清翟弘毅是什麽腦回路，甚至還有人覺得，翟弘毅之前一朝被蛇咬，為了避免再次被陷害，故意這麽忽悠人的。
可當三天後，翟弘毅再次被大隊長叫過去，而且還是同樣的答案，大隊長便把名額給了田洪生。
田洪生完全沒想到自己能夠撿漏，驚喜得不知道該說什麽才好。
“翟弘毅，謝謝你。”田洪生态度極為誠懇。
要不是翟弘毅放棄，他不可能獲得這樣的機會。
翟弘毅依然表情淡淡：“跟我沒關系，是你自己平時表現好。”
田洪生插隊也有八年了，一直兢兢業業，為人也比較敦厚。
雖然有時候喜歡做老好人，遇到矛盾的時候總喜歡和稀泥，可綜合評價還是很不錯的。
翟弘毅離開的時候，溫雪蘭跑了上來，将他給攔住。
“小毅，你為什麽要這樣做？你難道真的要留在鄉下一輩子嗎？”
“這不是你們早該知道的嗎。”
溫雪蘭難以置信，她原本只以為是翟弘毅跟家裏人賭氣，沒想到真的能做出這樣的事來。
“你這樣做會寒了叔叔的心，你知不知道為了這個名額……”
溫雪蘭連忙剎住車，将後面的話吞了回去。
翟弘毅眯了眯眼：“為了這個名額怎麽了？”
“沒，沒什麽。反正你放棄也太可惜了，你回去跟大隊長說一說呗。”
翟弘毅嗤了一聲，“你們少管我的事。”
溫雪蘭眼眶都紅了：“小毅，我也是為了你好，你跟家裏過不去沒有好處。”
“跟你沒關系。”
翟弘毅懶得再理會她，徑直離開了。
汪瑩跑了過來，看到溫雪蘭一副可憐模樣，頓時柳眉倒豎。
“這個翟弘毅也太可惡了！你也是關心他，他竟然把你給惹哭了，我去找他算賬！”
溫雪蘭一把将汪瑩給拽住，“我沒事，就是沙子進了眼睛。”
“你少哄我了，肯定又是那個翟弘毅欺負你。”
“真的沒有，你別誤會。”
汪瑩撇撇嘴，“不過他是怎麽回事，這麽好的機會都放棄了，不會是因為這裏有什麽他舍不得的人吧？”
溫雪蘭怔了怔，完全沒有想過這種可能性。
“這……這怎麽可能。”
“怎麽不可能，他不是跟那個什麽唐青青關系挺好的嗎。”
溫雪蘭吓了一跳：“你說什麽胡話呢，那只是個孩子！你這麽想也太龌龊了吧！”
“她不過是看着小，而且現在也長起來了，現在也有十四周歲了，也就比翟弘毅小了三歲。”
“那也不大可能吧。”
“你啊，就是太單純了。鄉下女孩十四歲早就什麽都懂了，你看很多人十六歲都結婚生孩子了。”
雖然十六歲還沒有到法定結婚年齡，可鄉下只要擺場酒席就算是結過婚了，很多人都沒有去領過證。
而且他們還喜歡算虛歲，所以在大家看來唐青青已經十六歲了，是個大姑娘了。
以前長得瘦小還會忘了她的年紀，這一年拔高了這麽多，很難再把她當做一個孩子。
“他應該不會留下吧，這裏哪裏比得上城裏。”
溫雪蘭說這話的時候，也有些不确定。
她以前是堅信翟弘毅是會回去的，來這裏不過是為賭一口氣。
可看他連番操作，現在已然沒有之前的信心。
“總之啊，你還是注意着點吧。要是他不走，你怎麽離開這裏？”
溫雪蘭的臉色頓時白了，“你瞎說什麽呢，我離不離開這裏，跟小毅有什麽關系。”
汪瑩看了她一眼，聳了聳肩。
王黑子确定翟弘毅并不會走，又喜又氣。
“毅哥啊，你腦子都在想啥呢！這麽好的機會，你為啥不珍惜啊！”
“你知不知道，這個名額以後多難得，別的大隊都會嫉妒死了，現在都喂到你嘴邊了，你怎麽能放棄呢！”
王黑子在屋子裏不停來回轉悠，一副恨鐵不成鋼的樣子。
老劉頭也難得出聲：“你可得想好了，錯過了以後可就再也沒有了。”
翟弘毅很平靜：“我想好了，鄉下也沒啥不好。”
王黑子白眼都快上天了，“我真是不懂你們這些人，這一天天都在想啥呢！”
心裏明明很高興，可又總覺得不得勁。
“唐青青，你咋什麽表示都沒有啊？”
這屋子裏還有一個人的反應也很不正常，那就是唐青青。
平常明明是個喜歡操心的，這時候竟然一言不發。
“我相信毅哥的判斷，他會做出正确的選擇。”
“瘋了瘋了，都瘋了！”
王黑子一直一副義憤填膺的嘴臉，可吃飽飯回家，沒走幾步就開始放聲大笑起來。
期末考試時，唐青青考了雙百。
她這一次沒有做五年級的題目，雖然她現在已經學到了，卻也沒有再那麽張揚。
不過她借了同學的試卷抄了一份，上面大部分題目，她也都會做。
這一次拿成績回家，唐建軍竟然罕見地詢問起唐青青的成績，得知唐青青拿了雙百，高興的說了好幾聲好。
趙大花心情複雜，沒有說些什麽。
吳老太則感嘆道：“咋就是個丫頭，要是個小子就好了。”
唐興強熟練讨好道：“奶，等我九月份上學，也給你考雙百回來！”
“好好好，奶奶等着你考雙百，到時候給你煎雞蛋吃。”
唐興旺撇撇嘴一臉不屑，讀書痛苦死了，一節課那麽長時間坐在教室裏不能動，煩都要煩死了。
“傻子，讀書特沒勁，跟上刑一樣。”
“那是因為你傻學不到東西，所以才覺得沒勁，我就不一樣了！”
唐興強挺着小胸脯，充滿自信。
唐興旺：“回頭我看你怎麽哭。”
“那你肯定等不到了。”
兩兄弟這邊鬥嘴，唐興盛滿眼地羨慕，他也很想去讀書。
哪怕很多人說讀書沒意思，他還是想要去。
唐青青看在眼裏，道：“明年興盛和巧巧也一塊去上學吧。”
唐興盛明顯眼睛都亮了起來，眼巴巴地看着她。
趙大花直接蹦了起來：“那怎麽行！你以為咱們是什麽富裕人家，全都去上學我們日子還過不過了。而且學那些有啥用，我們不上學不識字，不也過得好好的。”
上小學的費用其實并不算貴，可要是孩子多了疊加一起就不便宜了。
而且半大孩子已經開始可以幫着幹活了，現在送去讀書，虧的就不只是學費了。
讓個丫頭片子去上學就更虧了，上完學沒多久就得嫁出去，得收多少彩禮錢才能補回來。
吳老太也不贊同道：“家裏有孩子上學就行了，沒必要都上。興盛在家裏幹活就挺好，上不上學的用處不大。”
“那算了，原本我還想着要是大家一塊上學，以後我要是能進公安系統了，也能拉拔一把。現在看來，還是算了吧。”
趙大花一把拉住唐青青：“你說啥？你能給你的弟弟們安排工作？”
“你看城裏有親戚的，是不是更好找臨時工？不過要是書都沒讀過，啥都不懂，我是神仙也安排不進去。”
趙大花頓時心動了，現在唐青青名聲大噪，大家都默認她長大以後肯定會被國家收納進組織裏，這樣才能更好發揮她的特長。
所以唐青青說這話，還真不是大話，上頭有人好辦事。
“那也沒必要讓巧巧一個小丫頭上學啊，反正以後都是要嫁人的，頂什麽用啊。”
大伯母王四妹抿着唇，正想開口說些什麽，唐建設一瘸一拐地從屋子裏走出來了。
“巧巧也要上學，我們自己供。”
趙大花白了一眼：“你們用啥供？還不是從我們這邊摳的。”
唐建設根本沒有勞動力，王四妹能做的事也很少，一家子都是拖累，竟然好意思說自己出錢供。
“我可以編藤筐，攢下的錢足夠交學費了。”
“有那錢你還不如留着以後養老呢，浪費在一個丫頭片子身上，你可真是想得出。”
唐青青突然開口：“我好像也是丫頭片子。”
Zhao Dahua was silent for a while: "You are different."
"How are they different? We all have two noses and one mouth. I am also a woman, and Qiaoqiao is also a woman."
"She's not as smart as you."
“So you should learn it even more.”
Zhao Dahua had suffered a lot at the hands of Tang Qingqing, so she didn't bother to reason with her anymore and said directly:
"Anyway, I don't agree to let Qiaoqiao go to school. Giving her a meal is good enough, why let her go to school? We deserve to be the workhorses! We deserve to suffer losses for being honest and kind!"
Tang Qiaoqiao's eyes turned red, but she held Tang Jianshe's hand and said:
"Dad, I don't want to go to school anymore."
Wang Simei lowered her head, holding the corner of her clothes with her hands and dared not say a word.
They have no say in this family. After all, their entire family depends on Tang Jianjun's family.
She has always worked very hard and never said anything, just because she didn't want things to get too awkward between the two families.
"Qiaoqiao must go to school," Tang Jianshe reiterated.
Zhao Dahua was annoyed: "Brother, I call you brother because I respect you. My family owes you. It's not enough to support your family, but we also have to support a girl to go to school. What good things are you dreaming of?
Go to the village and see how many girls can go to school. Not to mention girls, there are many boys who don't go. Even Xingsheng from my family is not qualified to go. Why is it that only your daughter is so noble and insists on going to school? Can you have some self-control? "
Tang Jianjun frowned: "What are you talking about? This is my elder brother."
"Those who know are my big brother, those who don't think he is here to collect debts!"
Zhao Dahua threw the vegetables in her hand to the ground and said, "Since we don't want to live this life anymore, what can we eat? I'll just starve to death!"
After saying that, he slammed the door and went into the room. After a while, crackling sounds were heard from inside.
Tang Jianjun touched his nose awkwardly, "Brother, don't blame her. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She didn't mean it that way."
That being said, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was clearly Tang Jianjun's idea, he just said it through Zhao Dahua's mouth.
Old Mrs. Wu was unhappy: "You have conditioned your wife to be like this. Why can't you just talk to her in a nice way instead of getting so angry?"
"Mom, you can't blame Dahua for this. She's worried too. I'll talk to her about it later. Don't be angry."
Old Man Wu said to Tang Jianshe, "Boss, don't be stubborn. Instead of spending money to send Qiaoqiao to school, you might as well support your son."
Wang Simei’s face turned pale and she lowered her head even lower.
Tang Jianshe's expression was not good either. If they had a son, they would have had one a long time ago. Why would they wait until now?
"Have you thought about what I mentioned to you before? Xingsheng is a good child. He will be adopted by you and your wife in the future. Don't you want to pay for your child's education? Then pay for Xingsheng. That will make everyone happy."
Tang Xingsheng was stunned. He had never expected that he would be adopted.
Although he still has a good relationship with his uncle's family now, it will be another matter after he is adopted.
Tang Jianshe: "Mom, I told you, I only recognize Qiaoqiao and Zhaodi as my two daughters in this life, and they are enough for me."
"What nonsense are you talking about? What can a daughter do for you? Who will take care of you when you are old?"
"At worst, I can let Qiaoqiao find a husband in the future."
"You are so confused! What good can you get from recruiting a son-in-law? Don't look back and think that you will be thrown out when you are old, and no one will care about you even when you die."
Tang Qiaoqiao quickly said: "I won't, I will definitely take good care of my parents in the future!"
Old Lady Wu didn't believe it. She had lived for most of her life and had never heard of any daughter of a rich family supporting her parents in their old age. Unless a son-in-law came to live with her, it would be hard for a married woman to return to her parents' home once.
"Boss, you are not young anymore, it's time to think about it carefully. Xingsheng gets along well with your family and will get along well with you after he is adopted. You worry about him, and he will take care of you in your old age."
Old Mrs. Wu felt that her arrangement was appropriate. When Tang Qiaoqiao grew up and got married, she could receive a dowry, and then she could find a wife for Tang Xingsheng.
Tang Jianshe will also have a son to take care of him in his old age, and someone to take care of him when he dies. This is the best of both worlds.
She had finally persuaded Tang Jianjun and his wife to agree, but she didn't expect that it would be stuck with Tang Jianshe.
Tang Jianshe was silent for a long time, then raised his head with a look of determination in his eyes:
"Mom, I just need a daughter. I will send her to school."
Old Mrs. Wu was anxious: "Why don't you listen to me? Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
Tang Jianjun's face wasn't looking good either, as he felt that his elder brother was incompetent and had too many problems.
Tang Jianshe's eyes were remarkably firm, and his words were unusually powerful:
"Mom, I want to divide the family."
