Chapter 98 Mother, Son Understands
Chapter 98 Mother, Son Understands
Zhou Fu was injured, his arms could not move, and his face had bruises.
When Niu Lixuan's wife Zhou Hui woke up in the morning and saw her brother's appearance, she couldn't help but curse and threatened to beat to death the person who beat her brother, but she didn't ask why her brother was beaten.
Zhou Fu laughed and said, "Sister, leave this matter to me."
So one day early in the morning, Zhou Fu stood at the edge of the field with a fierce look, waiting for someone to show up.
"Brother-in-law, it was them. I just got up to go to the toilet last night and they beat me up!"
Zhou Fu pointed at Tian Daniu and Gu Zilu, and immediately other armored officers rushed over and pinned the two men down.
Niu Lixuan naturally sided with his brother-in-law. He looked Gu Zilu up and down and said calmly, "Boy, this is not your family's mansion, and you are no longer the young master you used to be. You can do whatever you want. Understand?"
Gu Zilu's face darkened.
"I request to report to the police."
"Oh, you beg, what are you?"
Niu Lixuan laughed so hard that he could not stop. He could only say that kids nowadays are too naive. Report to the police?
What? Do you really think this is the capital?
But even in the capital, the common people knew that it was useless to report to the authorities in front of the nobles. What's more, this was a farm where the owner only came a few times a year, so naturally he, as the head of the farm, had the final say.
My Lord, nothing works here.
The tenants around shook their heads at the fair-skinned young master, and some even seemed to have their eyes red with anger as if they had thought of their own experiences, but they were still powerless to do anything.
In the village, the head of the village is the local tyrant.
"If you have any problem, just tell me and I can make the decision."
Niu Lixuan found it funny and could only say that this young master had not seen the dangers of the world and was still very immature!
Gu Zilu closed his mouth.
He knew the importance of reputation. The Fourth Sister was just having an open relationship with Lin Yousheng, but the rumors spread like wildfire. The famous families in the capital did not dare to marry the Fourth Sister. Now, Erniu was dragged into the haystack by Zhou Fu in the middle of the night. Although nothing happened, but...
Gu Zilu didn't dare to think about the ending, he just stared at Zhou Fu angrily.
Zhou Fu laughed loudly: "You little bastard, you dare to hit me? Go ask these peasants who dares to offend me. Today I will let you know whether I am someone you can mess with!"
After saying this, he waved his hand, and someone pinned the two men down and pretended to beat them.
"Boss, please forgive them this time!"
Tian Laosan knelt on the ground and begged bitterly: "They are just children. It was so dark last night, they must not have seen clearly. It was definitely not intentional!"
"It wasn't intentional?" Niu Lixuan sneered, "Then there must be an explanation for the injuries on my brother-in-law, right?"
"I'll pay, I'll pay!"
"Okay, that's what you said!" Niu Lixuan snorted and laughed: "I want 20% of your harvest this year!"
Originally, 50% was to be given to the employer, and now Niu Lixuan wanted to take 20% more. After working hard for a year, only 30% of the harvest was left. This year, the whole family would go hungry again.
But they are not the only ones being exploited like this. The employer only wants 50% of the harvest, but in the end they only get 40% at most.
Tian Lao San had no choice but to agree. Niu Lixuan said with a smile, "Okay, let's release one first. The other one will still be beaten. Who of you will do it?"
"You!!" Tian Daniu was furious and said angrily: "We have given you food, and you still want to fight!"
"Yes, my brother-in-law can't be beaten for nothing. Tian Daniu, you are the most dishonest, so I will beat you. Come on, beat you!"
At an order, sticks were raised and Tian Daniu was beaten and screamed in pain. Gu Zilu wanted to go up but was pulled back by Tian Laosan.
"Silly children, don't get beaten anymore. If both of you lie down, there will be no one to do the work in the fields."
If no one works, everyone will starve to death.
Gu Zilu's heart sank suddenly.
Looking at the tenants around, everyone's eyes were full of anger. They had obviously been oppressed and tortured by Zhou Fu and Niu Zhuangtou. Some of their daughters even died by hitting their heads against the ground or jumping into the river after being raped.
But so what?
They couldn't even leave the village.
By the time Zhou Fu felt better, Tian Daniu had been beaten to death. Tian Laosan felt upset, but there was nothing he could do. He could only swallow his anger and take the man home to let Tian Erniu take care of him. He and his wife still had to go to the fields.
Gu Zilu's handsome brows were tightly furrowed, but there was nothing he could do.
Once he is stripped of his identity as the fifth brother of the Marquis's Mansion, he is nothing and can do nothing.
The hands of a scholar are not as good as those of a farmer.
He could only walk into the field, looking back every step of the way, and continue working with his hands that had not yet fully healed.
But it's not over yet.
When he returned home in the evening, Tian Daniu developed a high fever.
How can a family that can’t even get enough food afford medical treatment or medicine?
Tian Erniu's eyes suddenly turned red and her face was full of self-blame. Tian Laosan found out everything, but could only squat in the corner and sigh. His wife hugged her son and cried, and the whole family was helpless.
It's so painful and depressing.
Gu Zilu watched all this with a sad mood.
Just as they went to bed at night, the thatched hut caught fire. The fire was raging, and the family hurriedly took shelter. Tian Laosan carried Tian Daniu on his back and rushed out. In the chaos, Zhou Fu had been waiting outside. When he saw Tian Erniu coming out, he grabbed her.
"Hmph, you hit me? You can use your sister to pay me back today. And this house is also what you owe me. Burn it to pay off the debt!"
"No, no, Dad, Mom, Big Brother!!"
Tian Erniu cried and struggled. Tian Laosan and his wife knelt down before Zhou Fu: "Erniu is only twelve. Wait a little longer for her to grow up. She is still too young!"
"roll!"
Zhou Fu pushed the man down, carried Tian Erniu on his back and left, leaving behind only the house that had been burned to ruins and the mess on the ground.
It’s gone, everything is gone.
They were already poor, and now they have nothing. They didn’t even have time to take out the food stored in the house. The family might not survive this year.
Tian Daniu was very ill. He looked up confusedly and said to Gu Zilu: "This, this is what you said, he, he won't come again?"
Gu Zilu closed his mouth and clenched his fists.
My mother's words echoed in my mind.
[I would rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than believe what a man says. Do you understand? ]
Mother, son, understand.
A beast is a beast, it cannot become a saint just by saying a few words.
Beasts will only become more evil and more vicious.
He was stupid. He trusted Gu Ziyun in Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, and now that he had left the mansion, he had to trust Zhou Fu.
Oh, if I had understood what my mother said earlier, the Tian family wouldn’t have become like this.
"If you dare to touch my sister, I will kill that beast!"
Tian Daniu was furious and struggled to get up, but Gu Zilu gently patted Tian Daniu on the shoulder and said, "Leave it to me this time."
When he looked up again, the innocence on the boy's face disappeared, revealing a pair of eyes as deep as ice.
Something shattered, and then slowly reunited.
