Chapter 236 Disagree
When the village chief made this decision, he summoned the entire village.
"I don't agree." Zhang Erzhu said, "Now we have more people, he can't resist, just leave the village obediently. In a few days, everyone in the village will be busy with their own things. What if he comes back to hurt my wife? My wife is pregnant, and because of this beast, she almost lost the baby."
"Erzhu, don't get excited, it's not that exaggerated." Li Taohua played with her hair and said lazily, "There are so many girls in the village, all of them are as beautiful as flowers. Who knows, the one he will attack next time may not be your wife, but another girl. If he bullies a little girl, it won't be that troublesome. He can just marry her home directly."
"That won't do! No, no, we must not let this bastard have the opportunity to bully young wives and girls again. Village chief, we don't agree with this treatment either."
“We don’t agree with that either.”
"This bastard is in so much debt. If he bullies a girl, she will have to marry him for the sake of her reputation. Wouldn't that ruin her life?"
"Village chief, send him to the government."
The village chief was helpless: "Everyone, even if we send him to the government, they will only lock him up for a few days and then release him. It will be useless in the end. He will come back secretly anyway."
"No need to send him to the authorities." Song Ruize said calmly, "Send him to the gambling house."
Everyone didn't understand what he meant at first, but when they saw Zhang Lei trembling when he heard the name of the gambling house, they suddenly understood what he meant.
Zhang Lei's thumb was missing, which must be the work of the gambling house. He owed the gambling house so much money, if it fell into the hands of the gambling house, he would either be missing an arm or a leg.
"Village chief, I think what my eldest brother said makes sense." Zhang Erzhu said, "I will personally send him to the gambling house."
As expected of the boss, he hit the nail on the head and hit the opponent's soft spot.
The village chief waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead and do it!"
Zhang Lei hugged the village chief's legs and begged, "I won't do it again. Don't send me to the gambling house. I will leave the village immediately and never come back. Let me go, spare me."
The village chief sighed, "Zhang Lei, I don't want to kill you all, but you are too useless. Erzhu's wife is your nephew's wife, how could you do this to her?"
"I'm a bastard, I was blinded by greed, I deserve to be beaten..." Zhang Lei slapped himself fiercely, and raised his red and swollen face to beg Zhang Erzhu. "Erzhu, I'm your uncle! Please forgive me this time! I won't dare to do it again in the future. I will stay away from you and never come back to this village, okay?"
Zhang Erzhu remained indifferent.
Zhang Lei looked at Carpenter Zhang again: "Brother, please save me, I am your only brother!"
"You are my only brother, am I not good enough to you? You ate my food and used my things before, did I ever say a word? But you actually snatched Erzhu's wife. They were in love, and you came to interfere."
"I know I was wrong, give me another chance."
"If it weren't for this incident, we wouldn't hate you so much when we see you again. If you can do such a heartless thing, then I, your elder brother, would not be as good as your younger brother."
"Erzhu, he's too noisy." Song Ruize said indifferently.
"That's right, boss." Zhang Erzhu found a torn handkerchief and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
"Let's go. I'll accompany you." Song Ruize said calmly.
"Thank you, Boss."
Zhang Erzhu knew that Song Ruize was worried that he couldn't deal with Zhang Lei alone. Plus, he had connections at the gambling house, and with him by his side, even if Zhang Lei didn't die, he would be finished.
The next morning, in order to go and come back early, the Tang family lent the carriage to Zhang Erzhu.
Qin Huiyin wrapped a dozen pies in oil paper and gave them to Zhang Erzhu and Song Ruize respectively.
The carriage drove away from the village, and the villagers were still talking about this matter.
"Now that Zhang Lei has fallen into Song Ruize's hands, it's all over."
"What he did was worse than that of an animal. He should have been finished long ago. If he hadn't finished, the girls in our village wouldn't even dare to leave the house."
"I definitely support Erzhu in this matter. Zhang Lei is such a jerk. Even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows. He is worse than an animal."
"Oh no, oh no..." Shi Tou ran over.
"Little Stone, don't say unlucky words during New Year's Day. Do you think our village is not unlucky enough?" An elder taught Stone.
"No..." Shitou pointed in the direction of the Zhang family's old house. "Grandma Zhang died in the snow."
Everyone looked at each other.
They immediately followed the stone to see, and sure enough, they saw a frozen snowman lying at the door of the old house, and she was still in the posture of crawling out of the door.
When Carpenter Zhang and others heard the news and rushed to the Zhang family's old house, many people in the village were already there watching.
"Carpenter, your mother is dead."
Carpenter Zhang's eyes were red as he looked at Grandma Zhang who died with her eyes wide open. He wiped away his tears and said, "Don't worry, everyone. Death is like the extinguishing of a light. All grudges will be gone at this moment. No matter what, she is still my mother. I will bury her."
The villagers felt relieved after hearing what Carpenter Zhang said.
Although the old lady deserved such a fate, the villagers were still very simple-minded and did not want Carpenter Zhang to still hold a grudge against Grandma Zhang at this time.
Zhang Erzhu came back in the afternoon, and everyone in the Zhang family discussed the time for Grandma Zhang's burial.
Grandma Zhang did not die of old age, so it would be best to bury her early and not leave the coffin at home. Since the next day was a good time for burial, she was buried right away.
The villagers helped dig the grave and buried the body. After the Zhang family buried Grandma Zhang, they invited the villagers to a funeral banquet.
"Where is Brother Weifeng?" Qin Huiyin didn't find Xue Weifeng, so she asked Tang Yichen who was reading in the study.
Tang Yichen said: "He said he was a bit bored today and wanted to go for a walk in the city."
Qin Huiyin said: "Does he not like watching other people's funerals?"
Tang Yichen said calmly: "Maybe! Funerals are different from weddings. Some people don't dare to face separation, so they like to escape from reality."
"This Brother Wei Feng is really a strange person." Qin Huiyin said, "He is always laughing and joking, and I thought there was nothing in the world that he was afraid of. It turns out that he is also a person with a delicate mind and reserved emotions."
Tang Yichen became alert when he heard Qin Huiyin praising Xue Weifeng, and reminded him, "He is fifteen this year, and should be either rich or noble in the capital. Such a person has a concubine at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and his family may also have a fiancée who is well-matched..."
Qin Huiyin: "...Does this have anything to do with us?"
"Of course it doesn't matter." Tang Yichen said, "I just feel a little emotional."
Tang Luwu's voice came from outside: "Yinyin, Miss Xia is here."
When Qin Huiyin heard that Xia Ruwan had come, she thought something happened in the store and strode out.
