Tang Shiyue said: "My grandma called me, how can I not go? So shall we go now?"
Tang Shirong took a step forward: "Grandma, let me go with Yueyue too."
“Forget it!” Granny Sun rolled her eyes and said, “Just let Tang Shiyue go! I don’t need you noble scholars!”
Tang Shirong lowered his head and said, "Grandma, I don't deserve your words. Since you are not feeling well, your grandson should be by your side to serve you."
"It's unnecessary to say that!" Granny Sun glared and said, "Isn't it enough to see you? You don't even listen to what I say. I think you want to piss me off to death! I just want Tang Shiyue!"
Tang Shiyue frowned slightly.
She originally thought that Grandma Sun asked her to go over just to vent her anger, but Grandma Sun's attitude surprised her. Logically speaking, she, Tang Shirong, and Tang Shijin must all hold a grudge against each other, so it was good enough that he didn't specifically ask Tang Shirong to go. Why did he deliberately not ask him to go?
So, is there something else going on?
Tang Shiyue turned around quickly and gave Qi Jing a look that said, "Brother, please support me anytime."
Qi Jing raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
...
...
He was probably the only one who saw the cowardice hidden under the serious look of this girl. Only at this time would this girl show weakness to others, but there were too many people at this time, otherwise, she would definitely say to him in a soft voice... Brother Jing is the best~
Do you think he is someone who can be moved by sweet words?
Watching them walk away, Qi Jing said, "I'll go first." Then he turned and left.
Madam Zhou called him, "A Jing!"
Qi Jing hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said softly, "I'm going to the river to fish."
Madam Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, and then she continued to grumble, "This child is good in every way, but she has to beat around the bush when she talks. She's obviously worried about Yue'er and wants to go to the river to wait for her, but she said she wants to go fishing!"
Qi Jing: “…”
Tang Shirong frowned and whispered, "What do you think grandma is going to do?"
Tang Shiyue had already followed Grandma Sun back to the Tang family. Grandma Sun kept cursing all the way, but Tang Shiyue pretended not to hear her.
As soon as they entered the main room, they saw Tang Shijin standing at the door. Tang Guihua snorted guiltily and turned away. Tang Shijin looked at Tang Shiyue coldly, his eyes filled with resentment and complexity.
Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Brother is back?"
Tang Shijin paused for a moment before he nodded steadily, "Yeah."
She smiled again and asked, "How have you been doing in the clan school recently?"
Tang Shijin's face changed and he glared at her. Tang Shiyue continued with a smile, "I often hear you talk about the clan school, and I envy you very much. It's a pity that a young lady like me can't go to school. But today, my aunt came and talked about you. The villagers were quite puzzled. Do you think I should tell them what happened in the clan school?"
Tang Shijin's face changed.
This was a naked threat. What she meant was that she didn't tell anyone about those things, because it was quite unusual for a young girl like her to dress up as a man and go to the clan school... so it was good for everyone, but if he made her angry, she would not be polite.
Before Tang Shijin could say anything, he heard a man coming out from behind the curtain, saying in a long voice: "Oh my, Yue'er is really hard to deal with now. You are a junior, but you don't know the etiquette. You keep talking nonsense. How can you have a say in this room? If this were my daughter, I would have beaten her to death long ago. How can I let her stand here and irritate the elders?"
Tang Shiyue frowned.
This is Tang Guizhi, the eldest daughter of Mrs. Sun.
This aunt had a hot temper when she was at her parents' home. Tang Guihua would jump up and down and curse at anyone who disagreed with her, but she was the type who would pick up a hoe and fight at the same time. Although she was good at farm work, she was too tough and the news spread in nearby villages, so she couldn't get married. Later, she married in Dongshan Village, which was a little further away.
After she got married, she gave birth to three daughters, named Li Zhaodi, Li Laidi, and Li Qiudi. However, after all her efforts, she still couldn't give birth to a son. Every time she went back to her parents' home, she treated those three girls like enemies, and would slap them in the face if they disagreed with her.
Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Aunt, do you think your daughter is not enough? Do you want more?"
This sentence was too harsh. Tang Guizhi's face changed immediately. She glared and cursed: "You little X-girl, I must beat you to death today..."
Someone in the inner room coughed, and someone came out from behind the curtain, saying, "That's enough! How can you, a girl, still be fussing with a child?"
As he spoke, he coughed twice, spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, crushed it with his foot, turned to look at her, and said with a smile: "Yuer, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have grown into a big girl!"
Tang Shiyue felt so disgusted that she just squatted down as a gesture of greeting.
This is my eldest uncle, Li Shunzi. He has squinty eyes, a thick, round mouth, and is a drunkard. He looks drunk all day long. His character is so bad that you can almost write the word "vulgar" on his forehead.
Tang Guizhi stopped talking immediately, and Li Shunzi sat down on a chair in the main room, looking at her with a flattering face.
Granny Sun said, "You are a young lady who has not yet been engaged, but you hang out with that boy from the Qi family every day, and you don't even care about etiquette. You really bring shame to our Tang family! Your mother doesn't know how to manage things, and you have to trouble me to worry about it! So, I will find you a marriage, and you can marry him right away, and this matter will be over!"
Tang Shiyue raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Oh? I wonder what kind of good marriage it is?"
Grandma Sun said, "Your eldest aunt has always loved you, so you should stay with her and serve your uncle well! Your uncle's family is also well off, and they will never let you down!"
Li Shunzi looked at her with lustful eyes. Tang Shiyue felt sick and wanted to vomit. She said coldly, "Isn't it shameful for an aunt and niece to share the same husband? You can't give birth to a son and you don't have the money to marry a child, so you set your sights on your own niece. You are really calculating. The matter with Fourth Uncle hasn't been resolved yet, and you are selling me out for the second time... No, this is the third time. Am I such an eyesore to you?"
Tang Shijin said calmly: "Since ancient times, marriages are decided by parents and matchmakers. A polite lady will not interfere in her own marriage."
"Since ancient times?" Tang Shiyue chuckled, "Since ancient times, there have been the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues. You stole first, then became hypocritical, and refused to repent. You even took revenge and forced a young lady who had not yet reached the age of marriage to be a concubine of your own uncle. Which of the five virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness have you achieved? Have you read all the books of sages into a dog's stomach? You are such a person, and you still dare to show off to me?"
Tang Shijin was choked by her and couldn't speak.
When Granny Sun saw that Tang Shijin had been silenced by her, it was as if a knife had stabbed her heart. She jumped up in shock and glared at him, "You have to do it today, whether you can or not! I'm telling you something, and you thought I was discussing it with you? Bah! You've spoiled yourself!"
Tang Shiyue turned around and left, but Tang Guizhi rushed over and dragged her away. Tang Guihua heard it in the west room and rushed in as well. She took the opportunity to scratch her face and cursed, "Shameless bitch, I've wanted to scratch your foxy face for a long time..."
Tang Shiyue quickly dodged and let Tang Guizhi grab her hair. Her hair had been burned in the fire and had not yet grown out completely. When her hair was pulled, it came apart and she immediately looked disheveled.
Mrs. Sun was still yelling, "Hurry up, drag this bastard into the house!"
Li Shunzi said eagerly, "I'll do it, I'll do it!" He stretched out his hand to take it and touched her butt.
