Chapter 35: Confession
Qian and Zheng's mother and son were driven out.
Zheng Li was cursing and standing in front of the Tang family's door, yelling in a very dirty way.
Tang Luwu rushed out carrying the toilet bucket, her stern face full of anger and a murderous look.
Qin Huiyin was stunned.
It was the first time she saw Tang Luwu so lively and energetic, and she felt it was pretty good.
"Ah...are you crazy?" Seeing Tang Lvwu preparing to throw manure water, Qian ran away. "Your family is really a bunch of crazy people."
No matter how tough Zheng Li was, she couldn't stand such a situation.
She pulled Zheng Dapang and ran away, saying, "Even if you are single for the rest of your life, you will never marry a woman from this family. They are a bunch of shrews. Whoever marries them will be in trouble."
Zheng Dapang looked in the direction of Qin Huiyin, his eyes full of reluctance.
Qin Huiyin said beside her: "Sister Luwu, you have made great progress."
Tang Luwu came to her senses and hurriedly put down the toilet, her tanned face full of uneasiness and anxiety.
"They cursed so badly, I just wanted to scare them and make them leave quickly."
"You did the right thing. This is how you should deal with people like this." Qin Huiyin gave a thumbs up. "But you can only do this when we have more people. If the other side has more people and we have fewer people, you should not stand out. This is called a wise man who knows the current situation."
Seeing Tang Yichen's unhappy face, Li Taohua took the initiative and rushed into Tang Dafu's room to scold him: "It's all because of your uselessness that others bully your wife and children. They are just waiting for us to sell our daughters because we can't take out the fifty taels of silver! I swear to God, I would never sell my daughter even if I had to sell myself."
It is impossible to sell your own daughter.
Tang Dafu was so distressed that he took her hand and admitted all the faults: "It's my fault. I'm useless. I've implicated you and the child."
Qin Huiyin: “…”
Regardless of the stepfather's abilities in other aspects, based on his self-image as a henpecked man, he can still be assigned a wife.
She glanced at Tang Yichen quietly and said, "Brother Chen, I'm sorry, but don't worry, as long as I'm here, Sister Luwu will be here too."
Tang Yichen glanced at her calmly: "What can you guarantee? This time we haven't reached the point of desperation, your mother didn't agree. What about next time?"
"Then don't let us face a desperate situation. I can't guarantee anything. Because when a person faces a desperate situation, as long as he can survive, he can do anything. Don't try to test a person's bottom line, because you will find that human nature is selfish and there is no bottom line."
Tang Yichen: "...You are only eleven years old."
"I've been wandering with my mother and have seen more things than you have in the past fourteen years." Qin Huiyin shrugged, "I don't think my mother is wrong. For me, for her survival, she would do anything. All I can do is take good care of my mother and not let her do anything that crosses the line."
Tang Yichen didn't expect Qin Huiyin to describe the selfishness of the mother and daughter so bluntly. But after thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true, human nature is selfish.
If it were him, and he had to betray others in order to keep his family alive, what would he do?
Perhaps he would have made the same choice if there was no other option.
After driving away Qian and the others, the Tang family continued to do their own jobs. Tang Yixiao came back with firewood on his back and two grasses in his hands.
"See if this is useful." Tang Yi put down the firewood with a smile, picked up two pieces of grass and found Qin Huiyin who was cooking.
Qin Huiyin looked back and was pleasantly surprised: "Not bad, brother Xiao, you found two more wild peppers for me."
Tang Yi's cheeks flushed with laughter, and he glared at her: "Speak properly."
"What a weird little brat." Qin Huiyin said with a smile, "Please plant it in the corner of the wall for me, away from the other plants."
After Tang Yixiao left, Qin Huiyin thought of something, poked her head out from the kitchen door, looked around the yard, and found Tang Yichen who was chopping wood.
"Brother Chen, can you catch fish?"
Tang Yichen hummed.
"Then help me catch two fish!" Qin Huiyin said, "I'll make steamed fish today."
She promised to bring food to Song Ruize, who was injured and eating fish could help him recover from his wound.
Tang Yichen put down the firewood in his hand, took a fish basket from the wall and walked outside.
It was just getting dark, and many people in the village were still working in the fields. The Tang family also had land, but Tang Dafu was injured, so the land was left there.
When the villagers came back carrying farm tools, they saw Tang Yichen rolling up his sleeves and going to the river to fish.
"Brother Chen, fishing is not that easy..."
The villager who was talking saw Tang Yichen scoop up a fish quickly and accurately, and touched his head awkwardly: "Haha, people with good brains are different."
Tang Yichen easily picked up the two fish, nodded to the villager who was talking, and walked past him.
When he was almost home, someone suddenly appeared and blocked his way. It was a girl wearing a new dress, a silver hairpin on her head, and rouge and powder on her face. At first glance, she was different from other girls in the village.
"Brother Yichen, I have something to tell you."
Tang Yichen looked at the girl in front of him and frowned: "You are..."
The girl was shocked and blushed with shame. She said in an aggrieved tone: "Brother Yichen, I am Su Caixia who grew up with you. Why don't you recognize me?"
Tang Yichen remained silent.
In fact, he still couldn't remember it.
There are so many people of the same age in the village. If everyone looks at each other, it means they grew up together, then there must be quite a few people who have this kind of relationship with him.
However, he has never liked to socialize with others since he was a child. Apart from his younger siblings, he doesn't like to socialize with anyone else. Later, when he went to school, there were not many peers of his age whose names he could remember, let alone a girl.
"Brother Yichen, I'm working in the embroidery room now, and I get some money every month. If you're short of money, I can lend it to you."
Tang Yichen: "...What are the conditions?"
He didn't want to talk nonsense, so he just got straight to the point.
"I admire you. If you are willing to marry me, I will support you in your imperial examinations and give you all the money I earn." Su Caixia looked at him expectantly.
Tang Yichen wanted to say something when he caught a glimpse of Qin Huiyin.
Qin Huiyin noticed Tang Yichen's gaze, walked out with the basket, and waved embarrassedly: "I want to go to the vegetable garden, passing by here, you continue."
Tang Yichen took the vegetable basket from her, and then handed her the fish basket: "I'll go! What vegetables do you want?"
"This is not good..." Qin Huiyin looked at Su Caixia beside her.
Su Caixia stared at Qin Huiyin with a look as if she wanted to eat her alive.
Qin Huiyin felt embarrassed. It takes courage for a woman to confess her love to a man. Few girls can do it nowadays, let alone in ancient times.
Tang Yichen walked past Su Caixia and said calmly, "Don't admire me in the future. I won't get married in the next ten years. What's more, I have no interest in you."
