Chapter 15 You should go out and avoid the limelight
Old Li meant what he said. He felt that if Tang San and his family stayed in the village any longer, their safety would be in jeopardy if they weren't so lucky and ran into soldiers again.
Qian Dazhi also agreed with what Old Li said.
"Old Li is right. Third brother, your legs and feet are not very convenient right now. You should take the children and wife out to hide for a while. It's not too late to come back after this storm is over. After all, life is more important."
Tang Shengkai and Lin Cuicui remained silent. They knew that leaving here was the best option, but where else could they go after leaving Qiligou?
This is their root. If they leave here, they don’t even know how to survive.
Another thing is, if it is really as the captain said, if they leave, what should we do if those spies retaliate against the villagers?
Although not everyone in this village is a good person, didn't most of the village come running to help when they heard the gunshots? They showed no sign of backing down. How could they transfer their anger from their daily lives to the villagers at this time?
Finally, Tang Shengkai spoke in a deep voice as if he had made a decision.
"Uncle Li, Brother Qian, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I'm not leaving. If I dare to kill one small person, I'll kill two or three. At worst, they can just come after me."
Old Li shook his head slightly.
"Third brother, you are not just yourself. You have a wife and four children. Even if you don't care about your own life, you should take care of them. The children are still young, are you really going to let them..."
Old Li didn't say anything to continue, but Tang Shengkai understood.
But what could he do? They were his, Tang Shengkai's children. Since he had been dealt with this, there was no reason to back down.
"Dad, I'm not afraid. I'm willing to kill the devils with you."
Tang Bei was the first to speak out. Tang Nan immediately stepped forward. "Yes, Dad. Big brother is right. I'm not afraid either. I want to join Dad in killing the devils."
They can come if they want, the worst that can happen is a life. 18 years later, you'll be a good man again. But you won't have the chance to eat delicious food anymore."
Without Tang Nan's last words, such heroic words of bravely going to die would have been truly touching. Tang Nan's words dissolved the oppressive atmosphere.
Everyone in the room smiled with relief. Tang Dong was the last to express his opinion.
"Dad, it's okay. We won't leave. Even though we are still young, we are all men. We want to fight the devils with mom and dad."
Lin Cuicui said nothing, but her resolute attitude said it all. Tang Yue blinked her big eyes.
"I'll always be with my mom, dad, and brothers."
Old Li watched this scene, his eyes slightly warm. This is home, it's so nice to be together as a family! Yes, even if I die, what does it matter?
It's nice for a family to die together. Tang Yue rummaged through her pockets, pulled out 50 yuan, and walked over to Qian Dazhi.
"Grandpa Qian, here's 50 yuan. Take it. My family is rich now." He stuck out his tongue while speaking.
Tang Yue saw Qian Dazhi's action when he was pulling off the spy's clothes and touching his trouser pockets.
She kept staring at the group of people who were stripping the clothes of the spy at the door. Only Qian Dazhi noticed that there was money in his trouser pocket, but he did not take it out on the spot. Instead, he quickly took off his trousers and stuffed them into Tang Shengkai's hands.
Tang Yue was very impressed by Qian Dazhi's actions. Although this man looked honest, he was actually quite smart.
However, he did not selfishly want a share of the profits, but instead gave all the money to Tang Shengkai. Tang Yueer sincerely attributed Qian Dazhi to her own faction.
Seeing the fifty yuan, Qian Dazhi's face flushed red. He stretched out his hand to refuse, "No, no, kid."
As he said this, he looked up at Tang Shengkai and Lin Cuicui.
"Third brother, don't get me wrong. What your aunt did a few days ago was indeed ill-considered, but that's not what I meant. Your aunt was also..."
Tang Shengkai still didn't know what was going on. After all, he only regained consciousness while hospitalized. He'd been groggy for the past few days, and only felt better the past two days. Lin Cuicui hadn't told him what was happening in the village.
Tang Shengkai knew what must have happened, but there was a thick stack of money in the spy pants in his hand, and he took it out.
Tang Shengkai smiled when he remembered that they had borrowed fifty yuan from Qian Dazhi's family.
"Uncle Qian, don't I know what kind of person you are? Isn't this the case that our family is rich now?"
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Qian Dazhi. Qian Dazhi knew what he was talking about and did not say anything.
Tang Yue handed the fifty yuan in her hand to Qian Dazhi. "Grandpa Qian, take it."
Qian Dazhi tried to push him away again, but Tang Shengkai sighed.
"Uncle, everyone has a hard time. I'm really grateful that you helped me in that situation. Now I'm getting better and there's some extra money at home, so I should pay it back."
Only then did Qian Dazhi take the money.
Lin Cuicui was still confused at this time. She didn't know where the little girl got the fifty yuan. That was fifty yuan. It was not a small amount. However, this was not the end.
Tang Yue rummaged through her pocket again, took out 20 yuan and walked up to Old Li.
"Grandpa Li, I'm sorry for bothering you these past few days. You were frightened today. Take this and buy some delicious food to replenish your body."
Old Li glared,
"Little girl, who do you think grandpa is? I just helped drive the cart and you want money? Take it away, take it away!"
Tang Yue really wanted to see Old Li's reaction. Just now, Old Li didn't leave them and go away. Tang Yue already had a good idea of what kind of person Old Li was. But he was still a little short of being her family member. Now, it seemed that Old Li was still a stubborn old man.
Lin Cuicui was even more dumbfounded. What was going on? Why did she return the 20 yuan? Lin Cuicui instinctively felt for the money on her clothes. The money was still there. What was wrong with this little girl?
"Grandpa Li, this is a token of our love. You're quite frightened, so please accept it. My father is not feeling well right now, and we are still young, so we can't go out and buy you something delicious.
Also, our family's status is a bit special now, so it's not easy for us to go out, so you have to go buy it yourself."
Lin Cuicui had to admit that everything her daughter said made sense, and Tang Shengkai also felt that his daughter was right.
"Uncle Li, just accept it."
"Humph, I dealt with the Japanese quite a bit when I was young, and you're frightened by such a small thing? How could it be? Don't worry, nothing's wrong. You should keep this money to buy some anti-inflammatory medicine for yourself. The most important thing is to get your leg healed as soon as possible."
Tang Shengkai was silenced by Old Li, and Tang Yue didn't force him to give it to her. It was okay if he didn't want it, she would just take better care of him in the future.
Lin Cuicui didn't know whether she should breathe a sigh of relief. "You guys chat first, I'll go cook."
After several days in the hospital, eating dry food every day, she had long been craving porridge. Today, everyone was frightened, so she finally made up her mind to put more rice in and prepare a thick meal.
Uncle Li had helped so much, he must stay for a meal. As for Uncle Qian, he was also a good person. She shouldn't care about Aunt Qian's little thing. She wasn't that stingy.
Lin Cuicui comforted herself.
Seeing that Lin Cuicui had gone to cook and Old Li had no intention of leaving, Qian Dazhi could no longer sit still. He was prepared to stay and help, but he had no intention of eating. The Third Brother's family was already so poor that even a single meal was precious. He couldn't eat their food for free.
Qian Dazhi stood up and said, "Well, you guys stay here for now. I have something to do at home. I'll come over later."
Tang Shengkai grabbed Qian Dazhi's arm and raised the spy's pants in his hand.
"Uncle Qian, this meal is not a big deal."
Old Li looked at it and seemed to understand something, but didn't ask anything.
Qian Dazhi thought it would be a bit pretentious to walk now, so he just sat down.
Now Tang Shengkai's home has become a vacuum zone. No one will come to their home. What if the spies come at any time and shoot them? Who can they turn to for justice?
Lin Cuicui had cooked a generous meal today, and everyone was very full. It was already mid-afternoon, and since there seemed to be nothing else to do, Old Li and Qian Dazhi went home, planning to come back that evening.
Although Tang Shengkai repeatedly said no, the two still insisted.
After everyone had left and before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Tang Yue's soft voice rang out.
"Mom, Dad, brothers, I have something to say."
