Chapter 6 Daddy, Don’t Cry, Don’t Cry
Madam Lin chuckled in her heart.
Her mother-in-law is so funny. She is so biased that she is crazy. She still thinks that Tang Qingshan owes her something. Does she really think that everyone is stupid?
But it doesn't matter. She said it herself that she no longer has this son, not them.
Tang Qingshan handed his daughter to Madam Lin, took out a purse from his bosom, took a few steps forward, bent down and was about to put it on the ground, but Granny Liu rushed over and grabbed the purse into her hand, saying viciously: "Sooner or later, it will belong to me!"
As she said this, seeing him lowering his head in front of her, Mrs. Liu felt evil thoughts boiling in her heart and she wanted to kick him on the head.
More than one person exclaimed! Several people from the Tang family, including Milk Ball, said, "Dad!"
Tang Qingshan quickly stepped back and glanced at her. The old woman's face was still ferocious, and she kicked into nothingness, did a big split, and sat on the ground with a loud roar.
Everyone: “…”
Oh! Tang Qingshan had no expression on his face.
This kick really eliminated the last bit of discomfort he felt. Tang Qingshan knelt down without saying a word and kowtowed several times.
Tang Dalang and his companions, Mrs. Lin, and even the little girl who was held in her arms, all knelt down and kowtowed.
Mrs. Liu was still grinning.
Tang Qingshan did not help her, but stood up and said, "We were mother and son, and it has become like this today... I, Tang Qingshan, have a clear conscience."
He just said this, picked up the little girl and turned around.
Everyone looked at his back silently, and suddenly they heard Naituanzi say, "Don't cry, don't cry..."
She raised her little hand to wipe her father's tears, and her eyes turned red.
Such a scene is even more heartbreaking than crying out to the heavens and raging on the earth...
How miserable must Tang Qingshan, such a silent tough guy, have to be to cry!
As everyone was sighing, Mrs. Liu got up, spat on the ground, and cursed, "You bastard, you are still pretending to be so important at this age! Giving us more money to spend is better than any amount of cat piss!"
Everyone was speechless.
Mrs. Liu never treated her eldest son as a human being and said whatever she wanted without restraint, but she didn't know that at this moment, she looked really hateful in the eyes of others.
Even the old clan leader was disgusted. As he walked out, he called his eldest son to stop them and said to them, "Qingshan, you built the ancestral hall for the clan before, and the clan still remembers your kindness! Now there are a few empty houses in the clan that are barely habitable. You and your family can choose one to live in first. As long as I am here, I will not drive you away, so you can stay here without worry!"
In fact, Liu Pozi and her daughter are no longer members of the Tang family. According to the rules, the house and land should be divided between Tang Qingshan and Tang Erhe, but the old patriarch also understands that Tang Qingshan would not drive Liu Pozi away, so he made such arrangements.
This is truly timely assistance.
Tang Qingshan thanked him solemnly.
"That's right!" Someone immediately said, "I have an unused pot at home. I'll take it over and you can use it first!"
"I'll go back and get you two eggs. Oh my, don't let Xinbaoer go hungry."
The eldest branch of the Tang family has always been very popular, and everyone surrounded them all the way.
These ownerless old houses are usually quite dilapidated, but at least they provide a place to shelter from the wind and rain. The kitchen outside this one has half collapsed, but the main house is still intact and can be lived in after some cleaning.
Many villagers who were smart enough to look at the situation immediately ran over to get some brooms and other things. The Tang family thanked them while taking over the cleaning work. The villagers had already brought tables and chairs, and they had gathered a lot of tools for them.
Second Brother Tang was not in good health. He stood for a long time today and was very tired, so he found a stone and hugged Xinbao to rest.
Madam Lin advised Tang Qingshan: "Master, you should be more open-minded. It is a good thing for us to leave that den of thieves. If nothing else, our family can at least have enough food and warm clothes."
"Yes," said the second brother Tang, "Dad, just consider it as this year's wages..."
The silly third brother quickly answered: "Feed the dog?"
Brother Tang was so angry that he laughed a few times before saying, "It's just money. As long as Xinbao is fine, it's not easy to make money..."
Naituanzi was originally a little broken car. She was tired from bullying the scumbag and eating melons all day. She was about to fall asleep on her second brother's shoulder. When she heard her own name, she raised her little head again: "Silver Paper?"
Brother Tang laughed and said, "Yes, silver. Xinbao also knows what silver is."
"A few!" Naituanzi nodded. "Xinbao has some silver paper! Give it to Jiejie! Give it to mother! Yes, yes, yes!"
The little kid mumbled to himself as he sat on his second brother's lap and lifted up his jacket with both hands.
Brother Tang asked, "What does Xinbao want to do? Do you want to pee?"
He was about to stand up and hand it to Madam Lin, who also came over to take it. But Xinbao opened his jacket, took out a handful of gold, silver and copper coins from his pocket, and put them in Madam Lin's hand.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The whole family was stunned.
After a long while, Brother Tang murmured, "Xinbao, where did this come from?"
Naituanzi said and measured: "Flowers..." She pointed at her head, indicating that she was wearing flowers: "Grandma Hua and uncle, roll, roll, the money bag fell on the branch, and Xinbao took it away."
She thought for a moment and added, "Grandma hid the card under the plaque, and Xinbao took it too!"
A family: “…”
After a while, Mrs. Lin suddenly burst out laughing.
The village was in such a mess, and the old lady never dared to come out. Even if she did, who knew where the money bag had fallen after the two of them rolled around like that? How could she find it? Old Lady Liu was even more amused.
She had been so stubborn as to ask for Tang Qingshan's one-year salary, but she didn't expect that the silver hidden in the house was taken by Xinbao, which was even more than that... Stealing a chicken but losing a rice bowl, hahaha, why is it so funny to think about it? Is this the law of karma? At this moment, Liu Pozi and her mother just discovered that the silver was gone.
But when she got home, the fence of the house was down and the doors inside and outside were wide open. Mrs. Liu really didn't think it was the eldest wife's fault. She just thought someone had stolen something. She was so angry that her heart ached and she came out with her hands on her hips and cursed.
It was at this time that the second wife of the Tang family, Xiao Liu, also slowly walked into Yutang Village.
Her husband Tang Erhe went out three years ago, saying he was going to do business. At first he would send back letters, but gradually there was no news from him at all. It has been two years since then, and only Xiao Liu and their daughter Zhaodi are left.
Xiao Liu was a relative of Mrs. Liu, and she called her aunt. They had a close relationship. In addition, the people in the first house were all very capable and kind. They understood that her husband was away from home for most of the year, and did not ask her to do any work. So her life was actually quite good.
But in the first two days, she heard her mother-in-law and brother-in-law whispering about selling Xinbao. Xiao Liu did not dare to offend her mother-in-law and brother-in-law, nor did she dare to offend the eldest wife. After some thought, she simply went back to her parents' home. She stayed there for two days despite her sister-in-law's contempt. She thought the matter was over, so she came back.
As soon as she entered the village, a young wife greeted her and asked, "Where have you been?"
Xiao Liu said hurriedly, "Something happened at my mother's house, so I went back to stay for two days."
"What? You just came back? Did you know that something big happened in your family? Oh my, your mother-in-law is still scolding you now!"
Xiao Liu pretended to be surprised: "What happened?"
The young wife was shy and wanted to talk about the two lively events, but she felt embarrassed to say it, so she said first: "Your mother-in-law wants to sell Xinbao!"
