Chapter 182: Shocking News
Tang Caiyun was stunned at first, then she grabbed Qin Huiyin's hand in surprise: "Huiyin, are you telling the truth?"
Old Mrs. Deng and Deng Gui trotted out.
There was a look of shock on the two similar faces.
"Where is that bitch you mentioned?" asked Old Lady Deng.
Qin Huiyin ignored her and continued to say to Tang Caiyun: "When I met her in the city, she was being picked up by the county magistrate's son's servant. She said you didn't know where she went, so I came here to help her pass on a message so that you wouldn't worry about her. Now that I have delivered the message, I have to go back too, otherwise it will be dark soon."
"Huiyin, thank you." Tang Caiyun cried with joy.
Qin Huiyin replied, "You're welcome," and glanced at Old Lady Deng and Deng Gui: "Aunt, cousin Shaoyao will come back to see you, you have to take good care of yourself."
Deng Gui curled his lips and said, "That money-loser is really capable. She can even get into the county government office. Forget it. Although I am a maid for others, at least I can earn wages. It's not like I'm eating for free."
Qin Huiyin was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, so she followed Zhang Dazhui and rode away on the mule.
As soon as Qin Huiyin left, Old Lady Deng asked Deng Gui, "If you can't sell that girl, what will you do with your gambling debts? Ten taels of silver is not a small amount, and our family can't afford it."
"My daughter works in the county government, and she's the daughter of the county magistrate's son. Do those people dare to come and collect debts?" Deng Gui said proudly, "When I win, how much silver do you want?"
Tang Caiyun opened her mouth but said nothing in the end.
My daughter made the right decision. If she hadn't left today, that bastard Deng Gui would have sold her to a brothel to be a prostitute. Although she is now locked up in a mansion as a maid, being a maid and being a prostitute are two different things. What's more, the county magistrate is a good one, and his family never oppresses the people. It is her blessing that Shaoyao can go to the county government to be a maid, and she can also avoid this disaster.
Tang Caiyun clasped her hands together and said, "Amitabha, thank you, Bodhisattva."
Deng Gui kicked him and said, "Why are you talking nonsense? Go and cook, I'm hungry."
Tang Caiyun fell to the ground, her knees hitting the rocks. Her trouser legs were already patched up, and now they were torn, and her knees were also scratched.
She endured the pain and got up. In her opinion, this little pain was nothing. As long as her daughter was fine, she could endure this torture every day.
When Qin Huiyin and Zhang Dazhui rushed back to the village, it was just getting dark.
Li Taohua was waiting for them outside the yard. When she saw them coming back, she shouted inside, "They're back."
"Today, everything is thanks to Brother Dazhu. Brother Dazhu, thank you." Qin Huiyin thanked Zhang Dazhu.
"You're welcome, sister. Just tell me if you need me in the future. I'm dumb, but I'm strong. Leave the heavy work to me."
"Dazhu, come to my house for dinner today!" Li Taohua made an invitation.
"No need, Aunt Taohua. It's rare for your family to get together, so we won't disturb you." Zhang Dazhu said, and then said to Qin Huiyin, "How do you build the mule cart you mentioned?"
"I'll draw it for you tomorrow."
"Then let me take care of these two mules. My cousin and I will go cut some grass to feed them later."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you to take care of." Qin Huiyin said, "When the time comes to build the cart, we'll need their cooperation, so it's not bad for you to get along with them in advance."
Li Taohua pulled Qin Huiyin into the yard.
"The food is ready, just waiting for you to come back."
"What did you do today? It smells so good!" Qin Huiyin sniffed the air.
"Lvwu is becoming more and more capable now, and is really becoming more and more like you." Li Taohua praised Tang Luwu highly.
"That's all thanks to mother's good teaching." Qin Huiyin coaxed sweetly.
"Stop it. You're such a sweetheart, you only know how to coax me." Li Taohua tapped her little mouth. "Okay, wash your hands and eat!"
"Where's Uncle Tang?" Qin Huiyin looked around.
"I'm here." Tang Dafu closed the chicken coop and walked over with his cane. "Your elder brother's fever has just subsided and he is resting inside. Let's not disturb him and let him get enough sleep first."
"I'll go and take a look." Qin Huiyin said.
Qin Huiyin entered Tang Yichen's room and saw him lying there, wrapped up tightly. She touched his forehead, confirmed that his fever had subsided, and quietly left.
"Brother can't eat greasy food these days, so don't save these for him. I'll make him some lean meat porridge later. I'll go to the river and catch a fish tomorrow and steam it for him."
"The porridge is cooking on the stove. He can eat it when he wakes up." Tang Luwu brought out the dishes. "Yinyin, you must be hungry after a busy day. You should eat first."
Tang Dafu hadn't eaten with his family for a long time. He diligently picked up food for Li Taohua and looked at his two daughters who were becoming more and more beautiful. Suddenly, he thought it would be good to keep going like this.
Qin Huiyin mentioned Deng Shaoyao.
Li Taohua praised: "This girl is quite brave, unlike her mother. Fortunately, she is not like her mother, otherwise she would be like that for the rest of her life."
"Mom, do you think my uncle will stop and not bully my aunt anymore?" Tang Luwu asked.
"This kind of stinky man is hopeless. Don't expect him to suddenly have a conscience. But if Deng Shaoyao can stand up, your aunt's life will be much better." Li Taohua said.
It took several days for Tang Yichen to gradually get better from his illness.
He wanted to read a book, but Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu took turns watching him, not allowing him to stay up late or overwork himself.
When Tang Yichen was completely cured, the time for the college entrance examination came. Tang Yichen entered the examination room with the blessings of his whole family.
Tang Yichen had passed the county examination and the prefectural examination before, and after passing this academy examination he would become a scholar.
Tang Dafu and his wife, Qin Huiyin, and Tang Luwu and his sister all stood at the entrance of the examination room and watched Tang Yichen enter the door before leaving.
Tang Yichen would be taking exams for several days, and they couldn't possibly be here to watch over him, so after sending him in, they continued with their work.
Tang Dafu's leg has almost recovered, and it's time to remove the wooden board on his leg.
So after sending Tang Yichen off, their first stop was to go to the clinic to see Doctor Wei for a follow-up consultation.
"Brother Peng, where is the master?" Tang Yi asked the medicine boy in front of the medicine cabinet with a smile.
"He goes to Baihua Pavilion on this day of every month." The medicine boy said, "I guess he goes there to look for girls again!"
Tang Dafu frowned: "Your master is so vulgar? Xiao'er, is it okay to learn from him?"
Tang Yi smiled until his face turned red: "Master is usually very nice and doesn't go to those places."
"He doesn't go there on weekdays, only one day a month," Xiao Peng said. "Apart from that, he's pretty reliable. Don't worry, he's a reliable person."
