Chapter 170 He Deserves the Punishment
It was getting dark.
The noise on the street faded, and passers-by hurried home in a hurry.
Smoke rose from each house.
Wei Shouzhong and Zhao Yong each led a spirited calf back. Zhao Yong
seemed to be thinking about something . Wei Shouzhong was silent. Hui Niang, who was busy in the kitchen, chased out and was surprised: "Why did our family buy one too?" Wei Shouzhong replied: "The cowshed at home is ready-made, and it can't be left empty. It will be more convenient to go out in the future." Wei Shouzhong had this idea since the old cow died. A country man, he has been digging the land for his whole life. In the early years, he worked hard, but Old Lady Wei was unreasonable, so that Wei Shouzhong sold the most labor but got the least food, allowing the eldest wife to take advantage. Plowing the fields is the most tiring. Every time the head of the village used a cow to plow the land, the whole family was relaxed. It would be a lie for Wei Shouzhong to say that he was not envious. He couldn't afford it before, so he didn't dare to think about it. He finally got one, but it died. It just so happened that Yu Tingwan mentioned it. It was a perfect match. Upon hearing this , Hui Niang nodded. "The food will be ready soon, wait a little longer." Hui Niang was about to return to the kitchen, but she saw that Wei Shouzhong looked unhappy and realized something was wrong. "What's wrong?" Zhao Yong looked at Wei Shouzhong, then at his sister. It was not convenient for him to say such things, so he chose to keep silent and feed the calf with the hay in his hand. Yu was worried about her son next door. She heard from her sister-in-law that Zhao Yu was called by the county teacher. Yu was still bothered by Chu Chi's affairs. To be honest, she didn't have much hope. After all, the town didn't want A Yu, and as for the county... she was afraid that the Wei family would have to ask for favors for this. Neighbors usually visit each other. It is normal to send each other some vegetables and help sew a shoe sole. Scholars are precious in this world. In order to let A Yu go to the town academy, he waited for three years. It would be even more difficult to go to the county academy. The neighbors are willing to help, mostly for the sake of the Wei family. How can this favor be repaid? Yu was also worried that Ayu could not keep up with the teaching in the county. But Yu Tingwan saw her concerns and said in a gentle voice. - "Dad and Mom have been relying on uncle and aunt for help over the years. If we talk about favors, we should have paid them back. The family does not say a word, uncle and aunt are good to us, we accept it. Aunt, don't refuse now." - "My cousin's study is the most important thing. My husband is just a starter, and the result depends on Ayu." - "In recent years, there have been people who have taken silver notes to try to get connections with Master Zhao and put people in the academy. If Master Zhao agrees to everything, wouldn't the academy be in chaos? Not long ago, Hu Yaozu wanted to worship him as a teacher, and he went to his house to be unbelievably humble, but his character was not good, and he was directly driven out without leaving any room." The girl's voice was gentle and gentle, enough to soothe people. ——"If Master Zhao is willing to let Ah Yu enter the academy, it is because Ah Yu has caught his eye, and it has nothing to do with us." Yu had been keeping an eye on the movements next door. Seeing that such a long time had passed and Zhao Yu had not returned, she was a little anxious. But now seeing that Wei Shouzhong and Zhao Yong looked strange, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes. The sister-in-law still asked what happened? Something must have happened! Yu was about to pull her man to ask. Wei Shouzhong finally spoke: "I saw my mother and my eldest brother on the road just now." Hui Niang was startled. She has suffered a lot over the years. Even if she didn't see anyone, she would still hate and fear them from the bottom of her heart. "But did you know where we live and come here to cause trouble?" Wei Shouzhong saw that she was frightened and hurried to comfort her. "That's not the case. Don't worry."
"When I went back to the village to pay back the borrowed money, someone asked about it. I only said that Alang was getting better, and I didn't reveal anything else."
Life had finally turned peaceful, and he didn't want it to be broken.
When he paid back the money to each family, it also caused a commotion. The eldest
wife got the news and ran out to see. Wei Shoucai and Zhuang Mei, a couple, came forward with a shrewd and calculating look in their eyes, completely forgetting the previous quarrel.
——"Second brother, how come you look rich after going out? Don't forget us poor relatives. We are sorry for what happened before, but it's over. Do you have to care about it for the rest of your life?"
Old Mrs. Wei was still angry about the division of the family, and her words were sarcastic and mean.
——"Don't flatter him. It's hard to say whether this money is clean or not? It's a joke. How much does he weigh? Even his own mother doesn't care. How can a person without conscience get rich!"
Wei Shouzhong listened with one ear and didn't take it seriously.
If he got angry because of these words, he would have died of anger long ago.
But now...
Wei Shouzhong was very puzzled: "I happened to pass by the street of the city gate when I went to the market to buy cattle. I saw that they were all handcuffed and shackled, and were taken to the prison by the police."
"I don't know what they did?"
"They also saw me and kept calling me."
However, the police scolded them and they were all scared like quails.
Hui Niang heard this and her face was not expecting.
"The eldest wife has offended many people in recent years. I am afraid that they will be reported. If they are guilty, they will be punished. If they are not guilty, they will not suffer much and will be released."
"It is a fact that your mother gave birth to you and raised you."
"Our son has some friendship with the post station, but don't think of using this friendship to let them let those people from the eldest wife go."
Wei Shouzhong was not good at talking. Seeing Hui Niang was angry, he hurriedly explained.
"No."
"If there is anything, it is their own fault."
When they met on the street, Wei Shouzhong also interrupted and turned around and walked away.
But the old lady Wei called him.
Let him save him.
Wei Shouzhong pretended not to hear.
!!!
So!
Wei Shouzhong was annoyed: "Mother actually turned around and told the constable that I was her second son. If they want to arrest me, then arrest me together."
Hui Niang: ? ?
? Yu Shi: ...
Zhao Yong was silent.
He felt that Wei Shouzhong was quite miserable.
He was walking peacefully on the street, but was pointed at by his mother, who wished that they would be unlucky together.
On the way back, Zhao Yong could not find any words of comfort.
Wei Shouzhong: "I have shown my filial piety and suffered all the hardships over the years. I really can't run around and take care of these people." What
he cares about most.
"I don't know what crime he committed, how serious it is, if it really involves us, what should we do?"
Yu Tingwan, who had been silent on the side: ...
"Is it possible..."
She reminded slightly.
The girl said softly: "It was the matter of bribery of the constable who registered the list of the government office during the conscription."
Yu Shi spat for this: "Then they deserve it!"
She choked a little.
"If Alang was at home, with him protecting his sister, Xiaoniang wouldn't be in any danger either."
Wei Shen was small but ruthless.
He swung a kitchen knife at Old Lady Wei.
Old Lady Wei was too strong, so she hated this grandson even more.
If you really count it, the eldest house is still involved in Xiaoniang's affairs!
Yu: "If Alang hadn't replaced Wei Qintian to go to the border, how could his body be so bad? He needs to take medicine every day?"
