Uncle Tao then said, "Well, didn't I go to the Second Commune this evening to deliver a breeding bull? I heard from the people there that the third brother went to the Second Commune to look for Tian Ying, and his husband blocked him in a room and refused to let him go. That's why I came back to tell you."
"What?"
"Is this true?"
Everyone in the room was shocked. No wonder the boy hadn't returned home yet. It turned out that he had run to the Second Commune.
But this is too much. How can I go find Tian Ying?
This bastard is really a worry.
The old lady said anxiously, "Your Uncle Tao never lies. If he says it is, then it must be true."
Uncle Tao added, "Don't worry, Zhou Ergou is not even as tall as Lao San. He won't even open the door, he's just blocking it and demanding an explanation from Lao San..."
"No, Grandma, I have to go to the Second Commune right now." Tian Yuzhu hastily put down the tape measure. "It'll take Grandpa at least an hour and a half to get back from the Second Commune. It's so late now, and there's no telling what the Third Brother will do in the meantime. I'll go now. Zhentang will drive. It'll be quick."
"Okay, then let your eldest brother accompany him." The old lady was also anxious. As for the matter of Shi Weiqiang going to the second commune again, they would talk about it later.
"Sister-in-law, go look after Xiaoli." Although she was anxious, Tian Yuzhu did not forget her important business.
Then he hurried to the old courtyard to call Shi Zhentang, and soon, Shi Weimin and the other three were ready to set off.
Finally, Uncle Tao also came out and said, "I'll go with you."
Uncle Tao's words carry some weight in the various communes, so it would be nice to have him go with us.
Along the way, Shi Zhentang focused on the road conditions, being extremely careful not to bump into his wife.
Grandpa Tao, who was sitting in the back seat, spoke with emotion at this time: "Yuzhu, just now when you were busy going back to call Zhentang, the old lady said a few words to me. She asked me to bring it to you, and said that if you don't agree with her ideas, she will definitely not blame you."
Hearing him say this, Tian Yuzhu probably guessed about 70% of what he understood: "Uncle, does grandma mean that no matter what, Shi Laosan and Tian Ying can't be together?"
"Yes, that's what I mean."
"Okay, I got it!"
Seeing her agree so readily, Grandpa Tao felt very sorry: "Yuzhu, grandma doesn't mean that she thinks your sister Tian Ying is anything special, she just thinks..."
"Grandpa, I know." Tian Yuzhu smiled knowingly. "Grandma isn't a narrow-minded person, and I also think nothing can happen to them, because what's going on between Tian Ying and Shi Weiqiang isn't love. It's just two poor, unloved people trying to keep each other warm!"
The three men in the car heard this discussion: "..."
Shi Zhentang's mind suddenly became clear.
Shi Weimin nodded silently, thinking that with this explanation, it really made sense.
As for Uncle Tao, he had a new understanding of Tian Yuzhu. This girl was not only not stupid, but also smarter than ordinary people.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the old lady was right, marrying this silly girl was a blessing for their Shi family.
…
When we arrived at the gate of Zhou's house in the Second Commune, there were people everywhere the car lights went.
After dark, the villagers had nothing to do, so every household came over to watch the fun, and the place was packed with people.
After getting out of the car, Shi Zhentang took his wife's hand and used his tall body to clear a path for her.
Shi Weimin also knew that his sister-in-law couldn't be impatient, so he supported her from the side.
Uncle Tao was in charge of the shouting: "Make way, everyone, make way."
The villagers of the Second Commune saw that the vehicle belonged to the Public Security Bureau and that the man walking in front looked righteous. They gradually realized that Shi Zhentang was a public security officer and quickly made way for him.
Tian Yuzhu then saw the cadres trying to figure out a solution at the gate of Zhouyuan. She didn't recognize any of them, but Uncle Tao did. "Secretary Yang, what's going on?"
The man named Yang Zhishi had a worried look on his face: "Zhou Ergou has a knife on his neck. He is determined to wait for the Shi family to come, saying that they want to give him some compensation. He won't let anyone get close to him. If anyone takes half a step forward, he will pull the knife to his neck.
Uncle Tao, we can't take this responsibility. That Zhou Ergou is no good. I tell you, he really has the guts to pull his own neck."
Tian Yuzhu sneered in her heart: "..."
A scoundrel like Zhou Ergou dares to pull his own neck. It's really like the sun rising from the west.
At this time, Shi Zhentang politely asked, "Excuse me, Secretary Yang, how are my brothers Shi Weiqiang and Tian Ying doing?"
"Who are you?" Secretary Yang looked confused.
Uncle Tao quickly introduced: "He is Shi Zhentang, the third brother of Shi Laosan, the one who was the battalion commander in the army."
"Oh, Captain Shi, nice to meet you." Upon hearing that they were from the army, Party Secretary Yang was immediately in awe and shook hands. He quickly said, "Don't worry, Captain Shi, both of them in the room are fine. I saw them with my own eyes. Zhou Ergou didn't enter the room, but..."
He didn't say anything, but the discussions behind him flew into his ears.
"So this man is Shi Weiqiang's second brother, the soldier?"
"Ha, now we're going to have something interesting to watch. I wonder how the soldiers will handle the situation in front of them."
"That's right, his brother is cheating on me. Is that considered illegal in the army?"
"Who's the other one then?"
"The head of the Shi family, Shi Weimin."
“…”
In short, what Secretary Yang found difficult to say was indirectly revealed through the villagers' discussions.
In everyone's mind, the two people currently locked in the house were not good people, and they wanted to see how the Shi family was going to deal with them.
Tian Yuzhu stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Secretary Yang, and thank you all the comrades. We want to go talk to Zhou Ergou ourselves."
Secretary Yang also wanted to get this over with as soon as possible: "But Zhou Er Gou won't let anyone get close to him. What if he really pulls his neck to death?"
"He won't die." Shi Zhentang smiled with a firm smile: "Let the villagers disperse. There's nothing to see."
After saying that, he took Tian Yuzhu's hand and walked straight into the yard.
Shi Weimin and Uncle Tao followed closely behind. They had barely taken five or six steps when Ergou appeared in front of the doorway, yelling, "Don't come over here. If you do, I'll pull your neck."
I saw that he was holding the door handle tightly while speaking, and in his other hand he had a notched kitchen knife, which he was putting towards his neck while speaking.
This action scared Shi Weimin so much that he touched his neck uncomfortably.
Uncle Tao, Shi Zhentang, Tian Yuzhu and the others did not react at all. They had seen similar things before, and they were even used to seeing blood.
Shi Zhentang's eyes were cold: "I am Shi Weiqiang's second brother. I want to talk to you in person. Put down your knife."
"I've met you once." Zhou Ergou shamelessly scolded, "But you're so great! Now you're begging me?"
"Which eye of yours saw me begging you?" Shi Zhentang's eyes were cold, and his voice was slow and measured: "I have one last word of advice for you. Put the knife down."
