Chapter 5: Eight meals a day to serve you
Mrs. Liu was so stunned after hearing this that she forgot to cry. She never expected it to be so serious... It was just selling a little girl!
Mrs. Lin's face was full of satisfaction.
This result was even better than she had imagined! ! The old patriarch looked back and saw the little girl staring at him with her big, dark eyes.
The old patriarch straightened his chest, feeling even more responsible and determined not to let the little girl down.
He said in a deep voice: "Tang Sanshui is in collusion with you, but he is a man after all, so I won't report him to the authorities..." He hesitated for a moment and said: "Since you two have a deep mother-son relationship, let him go with you!"
What? The elders looked at each other in surprise.
They had no objection to the treatment of Liu Pozi, but they felt that the treatment of Tang Sanshui was a bit too harsh, as he was a male.
Then one person stepped forward and said, "Isn't this inappropriate? Divorce that vicious woman and let Qingshan be the head of the family."
What? Mrs. Lin immediately became anxious.
A poor family with a ruined business, what a useless head of the family! Isn't he just a sucker, and has to support the second wife and Tang Sanshui, this scourge! ! Besides, even if the Tang family divorced Liu Pozi, she is still the real mother! If she really comes to the door to blame, Tang Qingshan will not care, and people will stab her in the back! Then all the trouble is in vain? Madam Lin was anxious in vain, and she couldn't interrupt, watching the elders discuss.
Tang Sanshui also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to hum and pretend to be dead. He had no intention of saying a word to help his mother. As long as he could live his life as usual, it was fine.
Xinbao looked around with his big, bright eyes, and saw his second brother Tang Shirong quietly walk over and whisper a few words to his third brother Tang Shichang.
Tang Shichang always focused on his face, but when he heard this, his anger disappeared immediately.
He walked over with a friendly smile, and lifted Tang Sanshui up like a chicken, whispering: "Finally you're in my hands! Don't worry, I will definitely serve you eight meals a day, and try to get you promoted and rich as soon as possible..."
Tang Sanshui's face turned green at that moment.
No matter how stupid he is, he knows that being served eight meals a day is not just food...getting promoted and getting rich is just like a coffin.
If Tang Shirong said this, he might not believe it, but Tang Shichang was a brainless fool, and what he said was absolutely true! ! Tang Sanshui sat up in shock from his dying illness and howled: "Patriarch!!"
The old patriarch was startled by him and turned back suddenly.
Tang Shichang quickly loosened his hand, and Tang Sanshui was thrown to the ground. He crawled two steps towards the old patriarch, trembling with fear.
Tang Shichang walked away two steps with an innocent look on his face. The old patriarch thought he was blind and saw nothing, so he turned his head back.
Tang Sanshui said anxiously: "Old Patriarch! I...I am willing to follow my mother! My mother is old, I, I am worried! I am willing to follow and serve my mother! Old Patriarch! Please let me follow my mother! Please!!"
Granny Liu was so moved that her nose and tears started to flow: "My Sanshui! My sweetheart!!"
She rushed over, and the mother and son hugged each other and cried loudly.
It should have been a very miserable situation, but... everyone couldn't help but think of the shameless scene during the day. Their eyes were stinging and they turned their faces away. Some couldn't help but spit.
Because it was really hard to sympathize, everyone's minds became particularly clear.
Just now when the old patriarch was speaking, Tang Sanshui didn't say a word, but when Tang Shichang went over and said something, Tang Sanshui was so scared that he became a filial son right then... No matter how you look at it, this filial piety is not really that good.
In other words, only Mrs. Liu could see through her mother's filter, but everyone else could see it very clearly, and they all thought they could see it clearly, so they pointed fingers and revealed the secrets crazily.
The old clan leader also snorted coldly and whispered to several clan elders: "This Tang Sanshui has no feelings for his mother, brother, and niece. It can be seen that he is a black-hearted and ungrateful person. I really dare not keep him in the clan, for fear that he will cause trouble again."
The elders of the tribe thought so too...
Over the years, Granny Liu almost gave him her heart. The eldest wife of the Tang family lost everything for him, and he even owed Tang Qingshan his life! But what did he do?! He tortured someone else's daughter! He sold someone else's daughter! Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity? If he treats his family like this, how can we expect him to be good to the villagers?
Besides, he is a twenty-year-old boy who can't do anything. We don't expect him to be a useful person in the future. So what's the point of keeping him? Is it just to cause trouble?
Then several elders nodded.
This is the ancestral home of the Tang family. The old patriarch has great authority. He just gave a call and took people to open the ancestral hall to expel Liu Pozi and Tang Sanshui from the Tang family.
Mrs. Liu cried and raged, trying her best to get out of this situation, but the clan leader and the elders were used to old women throwing tantrums, and being experienced, they turned a deaf ear to her and walked slowly forward with the help of their crutches.
There were already some enthusiastic young men and women who came over and dragged them over.
Madam Lin breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Tang Qingshan, thinking that he would probably go over to help his mother.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the old patriarch left, Tang Qingshan hurried over and snatched his daughter into his arms, with a serious expression and a low voice: "Xinbao? Xinbaoer?"
The little girl was very considerate: "Take it! Take it!"
Tang Qingshan hummed in a very calm manner, as if he had heard his daughter call him dad eight hundred times a day.
His back was straight like a soldier's, and he held her with his hands, pressing her back a little harder, hinting wildly.
The little girl thought this daddy was so adorable, so she leaned forward obediently, opened her arms, and hugged his neck.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
At that moment, Daddy held his breath.
The silly third brother ran over and stretched out his arms from a distance: "Sister, come here, third brother will hold you..."
Tang Qingshan ignored his son, quickened his pace, and trotted to catch up with the clan leader and others.
When she turned around, the little girl saw her cold and hard father. Her eyes were red and full of tears, but the corners of her mouth were curved... Her little heart felt sour as well. She pouted her little mouth, gave her father a wet kiss.
Daddy staggered.
Mrs. Lin saw this and felt angry, amused and touched. She followed them, and Tang Dalang and others followed suit.
The second brother Tang was in poor health, so he walked slowly and pondered as he walked.
The silly third brother walked with him, feeling a little regretful, and kept muttering as he walked: "It's a pity that I can't beat him up, I've already thought of how to deal with him!"
Brother Tang nodded perfunctorily, muttering to himself: "Why is Tang Sanshui so scared? Why is he so scared? He is not a fool, he should at least play the victim and beg his mother not to divorce him. Why is he so scared that he doesn't care about anything..."
The silly third brother didn't understand, so he took the opportunity to say, "I'm so powerful, he must be scared! I'm strong! He can't beat me!"
Brother Tang: "..."
He looked at his silly brother and gently stroked his head: "You are right."
After the ancestral hall was opened, Liu Pozi and Tang Sanshui were soon removed from the Tang family tree.
Because they were no longer considered members of the Tang family and had no elders to look after them, the two remaining branches of the Tang family automatically became two separate families without having to separate.
This is what it means to be light!
Mrs. Liu cried until her voice became hoarse, and she rolled on the ground dozens of times, but she couldn't stop this. She watched the clan leader take the family tree back, and when he turned around, he looked at Tang Qingshan with eyes that seemed to be filled with deep hatred, and the people around were terrified when they saw it.
Granny Liu said grimly, "Tang Qingshan, are you still a human being? You watched your own mother divorce her and you didn't say a word. I'd rather raise a beast than you! I should have strangled you to death when you were born!"
Tang Qingshan looked up at her.
The next sentence of Granny Liu got to the point: "I'm telling you, everything in the house belongs to me! The house, the land, the food are all mine! Don't even think about taking a penny! Give me the wages you just earned! Just consider it as the rice and flour I've raised you for so many years! From now on, don't call me mother anymore! I don't have a son like you! Beast!"
