When he got home, Tang Yongfu got very angry and beat He.
Mrs. Sun has always been domineering and doesn't love her eldest son, but in this matter, she didn't want to expose Tang Shijin, so she had to take the blame herself.
Tang Yongfu was not an honest old workhorse. He was an educated man who loved to enjoy life. Not only was he working himself to death, but the woman at home was always making trouble and making him lose face. How could he not be angry?
After she vented her anger, Mrs. Sun didn't dare to say anything. Tang Yongfu sat down and said, "Also, hire someone to do the work in the fields! I can't finish it!"
The Tang family now has 38 acres of land, and there are quite a few men in the family, but in fact, Old Man Tang is not at home, Tang Yonggui from the second room is not at home, and Tang Yongming did nothing when she was at home before, and now she is "married" out.
Among the grandchildren, Tang Shijin is a treasure, as he did not come back from the clan school, and Tang Shiyin is a mountain of meat that cannot be moved. So when all is said and done, only Tang Yongfu and He are left to work in the fields, and they really cannot finish the work. They need to hire people every year, but this year they just have no money.
Mrs. Sun said angrily, "How can we afford to hire anyone?"
Tang Yongfu said coldly: "I don't care. If you don't hire someone tomorrow, I won't go to the fields! You guys should find a way to pay the taxes yourself!"
"That's right," He had just been beaten up, but she didn't care. She got up and said, "All the money in our eldest house is paid into the public treasury. We can't let my uncle squander it all. If we don't hire people, we won't be able to finish the work even if we die of exhaustion!"
Grandma Sun was furious and said, "Ming'er is your brother!"
...
...
"Luckily he's a brother!" He said in a long voice, "If it was a niece, he would have sold her."
Mrs. Sun went crazy at that time. She jumped up and slapped He in the face. He didn't dare to resist and could only push her a few times secretly.
The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law quarreled for about an hour. The noise of their quarrel was heard by all the neighbors, but no one came to separate them.
The next day, the Tang family announced that they wanted to hire someone.
Tang Shiyue just heard about these disturbances and didn't take them to heart.
The next day, she followed Qi Jing's mule cart to the town to find someone to train the lynx.
Qi Jing asked her for a piece of clothing in advance, mainly to make the lynx familiar with the smell of its owner. When they arrived in the town, Qi Jing parked the mule cart, looked at her, and hesitated slightly.
Tang Shiyue was such a smart person, she immediately said: "You go find someone, I just need to buy some things. We will meet at Sifang Restaurant at noon."
Qi Jing nodded: "Then you should be careful."
Tang Shiyue nodded and went. She brought ginseng with her and still planned to sell it at Baohetang where she went last time.
The last time I bought Polygonum multiflorum, it was a pair of yin and yang, which is extremely rare. It was sold for five thousand taels, which is a lot. This ginseng is only a few decades old, and although it is of good quality, it is estimated that it will only be sold for a few dozen taels.
Tang Shiyue thought that if the pharmacy could offer fifty or sixty taels, she would buy it.
Someone came out of a nearby pharmacy and walked towards her, yawning lazily, but suddenly stopped and glanced at her backpack with squinted eyes.
Tang Shiyue felt a tremor on her back. She turned her head quickly and saw a tall figure. She grabbed the rope to test the weight and called out to him, "My dear, please stand still!"
The man continued to walk forward leisurely, as if he didn't know she was calling him. Tang Shiyue didn't call him again, and after a while, the man slowly turned around.
He was wearing a gray robe, had a tall and handsome figure, and had a scruffy beard, so it was impossible to tell his age.
He looked at her for a few times, and said with a smile: "Little Master, you called me?"
Tang Shiyue also glanced at him and said bluntly: "Looking at you like this, I definitely can't beat you, and I don't want to suffer a loss. But the things are mine. If you are in trouble, I can lend them to you. Even if you don't remember my kindness, you have to thank me for taking them so unclearly." She curled her lips: "Are you still a man?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
The more he thought about it, the funnier it got. He laughed for a long time: "I wanted to play a scoundrel, but you, a kid, spoke so eloquently that I, a scoundrel, felt a little embarrassed to play a scoundrel."
He turned his wrist, took out the ginseng wrapped in cloth, and threw it lightly in his hand: "Well, I don't have much money on hand, can I borrow it?"
Tang Shiyue grabbed the bag back and said, "If you don't have enough money, then go and earn it! You have arms and legs, and you are so big, are you just here to look good? Instead of making money, you steal things! Don't you feel ashamed?"
He squinted at her, and Tang Shiyue also looked at him warily. After making sure that he would not do anything, she turned and left.
He didn't catch up.
It seemed that he was just a tired idler and not that bad. Tang Shiyue breathed a sigh of relief and quickened his pace.
Who knew that just when I reached the entrance of the alley in front, I heard someone talking incoherently, followed by a woman's voice, a short "ah", the voice was full of panic, and then it seemed that someone covered her mouth and it was cut off midway.
Tang Shiyue frowned.
She quickly stepped back and walked a few steps along the wall, then saw two thugs at the end of the alley. They seemed to be still drunk and were pulling at a young girl's clothes while covering her mouth with one hand, touching her clumsily and swearing at her.
The woman struggled desperately, but couldn't get free.
The two thugs were both macho men, and Qi Xiaolang was not there, so she couldn't beat them.
Tang Shiyue thought about it for a moment, then quickly exited the alley and ran back to the street. As expected, the man had not gone far. Tang Shiyue rushed over, put the ginseng in his hand, and said, "This is for you. Do me a favor!"
The man was obviously stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
“Hurry up!” Tang Shiyue grabbed his arm and said, “Help me fight those two people! This ginseng is for you!”
The man said nothing more and let her drag him over. She quickly dragged him into the alley and said from a distance, "Stop!"
The two hooligans looked up and yelled drunkenly, "Who dares to meddle in our business?"
She pushed him forward: "Hit them!"
man:"……"
The man walked forward lazily. Tang Shiyue took a look at him and felt that he was weak and timid, and looked like a loser. He might not be able to beat the two men.
So he shouted, "Don't stop! We are Boss Song's men! If you dare to mess with us, you will be in big trouble!"
Especially fierce!
man:"……"
He was speechless, and suddenly increased the strength of his hands and started beating.
Tang Shiyue hurried forward, trying to drag the young lady away.
The young lady was obviously very frightened. As soon as she went over, she screamed in panic, held her head with her hands, and shrank into the corner.
Tang Shiyue quickly changed her voice to a female one, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay now, let's go first..."
As she spoke, she slowly put her arms around her shoulders and patted her back gently. She panted for a long time before shivering and looking at her. Tang Shiyue gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
She gradually came to her senses and burst into tears, her shoulders shaking from crying.
Even in modern times, it is scary for women to encounter such a thing.
Seeing that the man had beaten the two thugs away and there was no danger anymore, Tang Shiyue did not rush to move him away. She just patted her back gently to comfort her.
The man tapped her shoulder from behind, and Tang Shiyue said, "Take the ginseng. Don't tell anyone about what happened today. We are even now."
"It's not about the ginseng," the man put the ginseng under his armpit and said, "It's not just about the ginseng. Do you know Boss Song?"
"I don't know them," Tang Shiyue said, "I just encountered a gang fight once, and heard people say that Boss Song and Boss Han are the two major forces in the town."
"Oh!" the man said, "Then why don't you say Boss Han, but Boss Song?"
Tang Shiyue asked: "Is the shield's last name important?"
man:"……"
