Wang choked all of a sudden, and in the darkness, she breathed rapidly.
After a while, she suddenly started to cry: "What can I do! I am a weak woman, how can I fight with him? What good will it do me if it gets out of hand! Besides, we have owed him a favor after all, and this is the old house of the Tang family, which is originally his property. If he wants to come, can I still drive him out?"
The more she spoke, the more confident she became, and her tears were filled with sorrow: "However, I risked my reputation to be perfunctory with him. As long as he can take care of us, or say a few good words to your grandmother and show some mercy, wouldn't you two sisters have a place to hide? You are still young, and I can't work. I can't just watch you wandering on the streets! This... do you think I feel good about it? But I can't help it! But as a mother, no matter how difficult it is, I will always protect you brothers and sisters..."
Hehehe…
It's not easy, you still remember you are my mother? This self-touching, it's enough to move the world! If she hadn't been so happy when she rushed out, she would have almost believed it!
Tang Shiyue waited until she had finished farting before saying coldly, "You are totally wrong!"
Wang was choked, and Tang Shiyue continued, "Risking your reputation... Don't you know how important a woman's reputation is? Are you not afraid that you won't be able to take it back if you sacrifice it?"
She took a long breath and steadied her voice, "Do you know that my brother is going to take the imperial examination, and his reputation must not be tarnished? If you make the slightest mistake, it will be equivalent to ending his career! He is your son! His talent has been praised by his classmates and teachers, and he will definitely pass! If he can pass the examination, he can be exempted from corvée and bring honor to the family. If he can go one step further and become an official, he may even earn you an imperial decree. You have also seen the world, don't you want to be like those nobles? With fine clothes and delicious food, and servants gathering around?"
There was a slight change in Wang's breathing, and it was obvious that she was moved.
Tang Shiyue paused for a moment, "On the other hand, Tang Yongfu is almost forty years old, but looks like he's half a century old. He's old and ugly, and his hair hasn't been washed for who knows how long. His face and neck are covered with dirt. He's just a dirty country old man. When you become rich in the future, he won't even be qualified to be your driver. What do you like about him? Our village is so densely populated, there must be eyes everywhere. If the slightest word gets out, He is so strong that she can beat you to death with just one move. I don't need to tell you what kind of temper grandma has. Even if you are lucky enough to escape with your life, you will still be thrown into a pig cage..."
...
...
In the darkness, her eyes were cold, but her words seemed extremely gentle and sincere: "I really can't think of the reason why you gave up such a bright future to hang out with such a wretched village guy. Don't you really feel disgusted?"
She propped herself up in the darkness and looked down at her: "Mother, listen carefully. We have money, rice and noodles, and we live well, and it will get better and better! I don't need you to sacrifice your reputation. If you continue to be so frivolous, and want to destroy our entire family, then I can only let my brother ask the clan leader to divorce my wife on behalf of my father and expel you from the clan, rather than being implicated by you in the future! The whole family will be doomed!"
Using both soft and hard tactics, it was unknown how much Wang had listened to.
Tang Shiyue lay quietly in the darkness.
Today she asked indirectly, this is a dynasty she had never heard of, Dayan, which has been founded for more than a hundred years, and Emperor Mingyan is the sixth emperor...and history has changed after the Tang Dynasty, which lasted less than two hundred years, and there has never been an Empress Wu Zetian, which means that all the history she knows is no longer useful.
But it doesn't matter. If you don't reach that height, knowing anything is useless. What's important is that she has to live a good life in this place. So, no matter whether Tang Shirong's knowledge is really good or not, she must now paint a big picture for Wang.
However, today is the last time she will persuade her about this. If she still can't change and tries to cover up her mistake half-heartedly, she will never waste another word with her.
Instead, some measures need to be taken.
The next morning, Tang Shiyue asked Madam Zhou to invite three familiar women from the village to come over, paying each of them ten cents a day to help their family make a set of clothes urgently.
This reason is reasonable and will not make people think too much.
Everyone in the family has two sets of clothes, one inside and one outside. Wang's outer skirt must be embroidered by herself, and Tang Shirong's outer garment also requires more work. For the others, those with quick hands can make a set in one day, plus bedding. In other words, the three women invited can stay at home for three days.
A hypocrite like Tang Yongfu would never dare to come to her house at this time, which was enough for her to do something.
She was also worried about another thing. If Mrs. Sun heard about the ten taels of silver, she would definitely come over and make a fuss... With Tang Yongming's matter at stake, she didn't dare to make a big fuss. It was just right to have a few outsiders at home at this time.
At this moment, at the door of the haunted house, the young man carrying a bow and arrow looked at her with a slightly frown, as if he wanted to say hello, but Tang Shiyue was lost in thought as she walked and didn't see him at all.
After Tang Shiyue climbed up the mountain, he started to turn to places where no one went. Then he found a place with few people and started to set a noose.
The lasso was set to hunt hares. She had only done this a few times when filming as a child, so she was already a little rusty at it. Moreover, she had set it in the snow at that time, which made it very convenient to find the rabbit's tracks. She didn't know if it would be useful if she moved it to this grassland.
She conscientiously used her newly bought sickle to cut off a few lush branches to block the path, and then selected a thick, Y-shaped branch and made a rope with a vine.
Judging from the habits of rabbits, a rabbit that is startled will usually escape in a closed curve, go around and return to the place where it was startled, and then enter the noose. She has learned how to use this noose specifically, and once the hare enters, the noose will only get tighter and tighter until it is strangled to death.
Tang Shiyue spent the whole morning setting up four of them. She was almost exhausted. She sat down next to him and heard a cold voice saying, "You are wrong."
Tang Shiyue screamed in fright, threw herself forward, and knelt on the ground, tears coming out of her eyes due to the pain.
The next moment, she realized who the voice belonged to, and for a moment she was filled with rage and anger...
She gritted her teeth and slowly turned her head. The young man who had just become a mercenary didn't think he had done anything wrong. He just looked at her calmly: "You are doing this wrong. You can't catch the rabbit."
He drew a circle in the air with his hand. "To hunt rabbits, the first thing to do is to choose the right hunting ground, and the next step is to track the rabbits. You did both wrong... There are no signs of rabbits moving around in this location. And the position of the branches you put is not right, but the branches and ropes you chose are right, otherwise I wouldn't be able to tell that you are hunting rabbits..."
Tang Shiyue was almost amused by him. She interrupted him: "Xiao Qiangzi!"
He was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that she seemed to have said last time that she wanted to call him Xiao Qiangzi, and his thin lips were tightly pursed.
Tang Shiyue sneered, "You keep talking nonstop, you seem quite impressive, huh? Then I'd like to ask, how many rabbits have you caught?"
He was stunned, frowned, and turned away.
Tang Shiyue was just provoking him casually, but when she saw his expression, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "So, you are so good at teaching others, and you know all the tricks of hunting, but you have never caught a rabbit, right?"
No, of course he had caught them, but very rarely... very rarely...
