There are all kinds of trivial things flying around in the village. Everyone knows that Tang Shiyue has caught a rabbit. Who wouldn't be jealous?
But this is other people's ability, and no matter how good the relationship is, it is not easy to ask. But the group of children yesterday came from several families, and they all heard that Tang Shiyue taught them without reservation, and did not hide anything when setting up. He was really generous. As a result, Tang Shiyin was still not satisfied and directly grabbed the ready-made ones!
Someone couldn't help but say, "Call Yin'er out to ask! You're so old, don't you know the rules of the mountains? Don't bully an orphan and a widow to death!"
"That's right! Tang Shiyin was so young back then, but he was thinking about killing people, and now he's stealing their life-saving food! This guy is not even a relative, he's even more cruel than an enemy!"
"You can tell a child's future from his childhood. This child is not a good one."
Mrs. Sun was extremely angry. Mrs. He could not help but jump out and yelled, "What are you all talking about! My Yin'er is still a child. What's wrong with taking a rabbit from her because of greed? Why are you meddling in other people's business?"
"You can't steal even if you're greedy!" Tang Shiyue cried, "Stealing is wrong! Auntie, you should tell him... The grass over there is flat, but the rope is still hanging there. If someone hadn't seen it and told me, I would have thought I was unlucky and didn't get any. Wouldn't no one know about it? If you were just greedy, why didn't you leave me any..."
Several people showed thoughtful expressions.
Could it be that this was not the first time Tang Shiyin had done this? He was so skilled at it? He even knew how to cover up his tracks? Did he steal the prey in his trap before?
He spitted and said, "Mind your own X, and stop meddling in our family's affairs. What our Yin'er wants to do is not your turn to talk nonsense. Don't you see what you are..."
...
...
Granny Sun pushed her away and said, "Go back!" She glared and said, "I knew that Tang Shiyue had hunted rabbits, so I asked Yin'er to get them! What's the matter? I'm her grandmother, so what's wrong with giving me a rabbit as a gift!"
Tang Shiyue sobbed and said, "Grandma, if you want to eat, just tell me. Last time I hunted a rabbit, didn't I send it to you? I also sent field mice, snacks, and even soapberries. What good things have I not sent you?"
Even Mrs. Sun choked up.
Tang Shiyue continued to cry, "I don't ask for much today. There are five rabbits in total. Just give me two and let me give them to Doctor Chen first..."
"No way!" Grandma Sun said viciously, "I don't even have enough to eat myself! Look at what you look like, a little girl, how can you eat my rabbit!"
He was strong and powerful, but she had no brains and couldn't argue. Mrs. Sun was smart and aggressive, but extremely stingy and would never give away anything she got. The two of them were so angry, and she added fuel to the fire. The onlookers couldn't stand it anymore, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still unaware of it.
Arguments are women's business, and men usually don't show up. But at this moment, the Tang family is the host family, but no man came out to say a word.
Old Man Tang and Old Second Tang are both away from home for most of the year. Tang Yongming is also a playboy. Tang Yongfu has gone to work in the fields. Even if he doesn't work in the fields, he always prides himself on being cultured and superior, and he would not come out to quarrel with the villagers. As for the younger generation, Tang Shijin studies in the clan school, while Tang Shiyin does not study, but has raised a useless person in the He family. When they bully children, they throw tantrums and act like scoundrels, but when they are in a serious occasion, they become cowards and dare not even show their faces.
Therefore, in the Tang family, it has always been Mrs. Sun who leads the charge, Mrs. He who comes out to scare people, and Mrs. Li who occasionally shows up to smooth things over.
No one noticed that there was a person hiding behind a tree not far away, squinting his eyes and looking at this side quietly.
The little girl standing in the middle was young but incredibly pretty. When she cried, it was like a flower bud covered in dew. She was completely unintentional, but very charming and lovely, especially her snow-white skin. Standing among that group of village women, she really looked like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.
Tang Yongming narrowed his eyes.
The two sides argued for a long time, but Mrs. Sun never gave in and her scolding became more and more unpleasant. Tang Shiyue could only go home crying.
After returning home and closing the door, the sadness on Tang Shiyue's face disappeared instantly. Wang had been hiding in the room and had not shown up. When she came over to ask something, she was forced back by her cold eyes.
Tang Shiyue lowered her eyes and thought carefully.
It was good. Five rabbits were nothing. The momentum was created today. The Tang family's reputation was getting worse and worse. From now on, she would no longer have to work hard to maintain the superficial peace. She could find a suitable opportunity to completely tear it apart and then she could let herself go.
Yes, that’s right. If you rank them in your mind, dividing the family property should definitely come before getting rich.
Tang Shiyue calmed herself down and glanced around the room. She didn't know what Wang had eaten last night and this morning. There were plates and bowls on the two corners of the table, and they hadn't been washed.
Tang Shiyue didn't know why, but she suddenly remembered the fable of the man who starved to death with a big cake hanging around his neck. She smiled softly, washed her face hastily, tied her hair, took the basket and sickle from home, and went to the village doctor's house again.
At this time, in the Tang family mansion, as soon as the people at the door dispersed, Tang Yongming quietly returned home. Mrs. Sun and He were still cursing, and Li was comforting them softly.
Tang Shiyin sat beside them like a pile of meat. He was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word. When he saw that everyone had left, he started shaking again. He felt that he was the hero who took the meat home. He kept muttering in a hoarse voice: "Mother, wash and peel the rabbit quickly. I want to eat meat!"
A trace of disgust flashed across Tang Yongming's eyes, and then he said calmly, "Mother."
When Granny Sun turned around and saw her youngest son coming back, she immediately stopped being angry and said in a friendly manner, "Ming'er, you're back? What did they say over there? Can we discuss the betrothal gift?"
Tang Yongming shook his head and said, "If the other party doesn't give in, it will remain the same." He glanced at his mother and said, "This is already very little. Who in this town doesn't have several large boxes of betrothal gifts and countless gold and silver jewelry when they get married?"
Mrs. Sun was very worried. "That's true, but we are a country family after all. Two hundred taels of silver is not enough. Where can we get so much silver?"
Tang Yongming said calmly: "I saw Miss Yue outside today. She is not stupid anymore. She looks good."
Mrs. Sun immediately came to her senses. Tang Yongming was not like Tang Yongfu, he never minded speaking frankly: "This kind of good-looking girl, although she is a little young, but some people like this."
"That's right!" Granny Sun's eyes sparkled. "Those nasty people in the third room have already turned their backs on us. This girl Yue is even more black-hearted and has no filial piety. Anyway, that unlucky star can't stand, so we're not afraid of her. I'll spread the news and propose marriage to girl Yue. I can make at least 20 or 30 taels of silver!"
"Mother," Tang Yongming said with a smile, "What good can twenty taels of silver do?"
Mrs. Sun was stunned. Tang Yongming smiled and said, "You also said that she is a black-hearted person. You still feel sorry for her. Can't you make plans for her? I heard that there are many nobles who like to marry young girls. If they like them, they will not hesitate to spend money. Shuizhi was sold for fifty taels of silver. I think Yue girl is much prettier than her. I will ask around later. I think she can be sold for a hundred taels of silver."
"really?"
"really."
Grandma Sun was overjoyed: "My son is really capable! Hurry up! Get rid of this girl and exchange her for silver so that my son can find a wife!"
Tang Yongming's eyes flashed: "I'll go and find out now."
