Chapter 103: Whose Father?
Chen Popi's father disappeared when he was five years old, and the so-called disappearance means that he can't see anyone alive or dead, and he doesn't have much impression of his father's appearance. At that time, the village was searched all over the place, and it happened that Hu Erniang, a pretty widow in Baishi Village five miles away, disappeared a few days before and after, so there were rumors that Chen Popi's father hooked up with Hu Erniang, so he abandoned his wife and children and eloped.
For this reason, the people of Hu Erniang's family also came to the door to make trouble, which completely ruined the reputation of Chen Popi's father, so that the dignified Chen clan patriarch became a second-rate old hooligan overnight, and the Chen family dared to come to the door to occupy the fields of orphans and widows.
This matter has always been a thorn in Chen Popi's heart, and he also hopes that his father will always be the patriarch of the Chen clan in Xiangfang Village, a respectable man, and a kind and reliable father. If his father hadn't disappeared, his brother wouldn't have broken his leg, and he wouldn't have had to be a rag to keep the family business! But his father disappeared so suddenly, and because of this, he was saddled with a dishonorable black cauldron, dragging down the family!
Therefore, when a corpse was suddenly found in the courtyard of the mountain guard's house, he kept saying to himself that it was his father! It must be his father! His father didn't elope with someone back then, but was killed! The whole village is mistaken! They owe him more than ten years to the Chen family!
He was relieved when the words that lingered in his mind came out, but everyone in the backyard turned their heads to look at him. Chen Popi suddenly felt that his waist, which had been bent for more than ten years, could be straightened in an instant!
"It's my dad! I'm pretty sure! He said in a deep voice, "It turns out that my father didn't abandon his family and children at all, kidnapping a widow and eloping. It's been harmed! The villagers have framed my father for more than ten years! Now we have to give our Chen family an explanation, right? I'm going to mourn for my dad and find out who killed him back then! ”
Sun Dewang froze for a moment with his mouth open. Suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Chen Popi! Don't make a fool of yourself! This man is not your father at all! You were only five years old when your dad ran away, you know what a fart! ”
Chen Popi was furious. raised his foot and kicked over the low stool next to him, and said excitedly: "What's wrong with being five years old?" Do you not recognize people at the age of five? My dad I still don't know? Can you teach an old fellow? ”
Sun Dewang's forehead was bruised, if it weren't for his two sons pulling him, the old man would almost have rushed up to fight with Chen Popi. Although this face is somewhat similar, it is definitely not Chen Popi's father! There has been no homicide under the rule of Xiangfang Village, never!
"Tell me the big guy, right?" Seeing this, the boss of the Sun family hurriedly said, "It's really ridiculous, this dad also has a casual recognition?" ”
"What do you mean? Sun Yaojia. You're looking for a draw, aren't you? Hearing this, Chen Popi clenched his fists and prepared to make a move, "Is it that my father can be identified by others?" When my father disappeared, none of you really helped to find it, only remembered how much benefit you could get from my family, and now that my father's bones have been found, do you still want to stop me from recognizing it? Do you have a conscience? Still not human! ”
The villagers were sandwiched between Chen Popi and Lichang, in a dilemma, and they were all silent.
Chen Popi was about to step forward to collect the bones, but Sun Dewang hurriedly signaled his eldest son to go up and stop him. The two of them pulled together.
Yang Zixi saw that the scene was chaotic, and hurriedly said: "Stop!" I don't care whose father this man is, since some people are willing to admit it, and some people don't. Then I will send the bones to the Huaizhou Yamen tomorrow. I just want to ask if it is proper for a new house to have dead people in it? ”
Sun Dewang became more and more anxious, and he reacted. At this moment, Chen Popi is not the main thing, the important thing is to appease this newcomer Yang girl. It doesn't matter whose skeleton it is. If you can solve it by yourself in the village, you can turn big things into small things. Anyway, it's been more than ten or twenty years, who can tell whether he killed or committed suicide? Was it deliberate or accidental? But if you go to the government...... Don't you know what the government is doing? Who will really investigate the old case from many years ago? I can't say that the most stubborn board has to hit him here.
He wiped a cold sweat, turned around, and said to Yang Zixi with a smile: "Miss Yang, let's do it, to be honest, this person is indeed not from our village, but the body was found in our village, and it can be regarded as a matter of our village." Why don't you interfere and wait for the people in our village to solve it on their own? ”
Yang Zixi sneered: "What? Sun Lichang doesn't think that I brought the false accusation now? ”
Sun Dewang sneered: "I didn't mean that either. ”
Yang Zixi didn't plan to be serious with him, so he only said: "If I don't interfere, it's okay, but there are dead people in this house, and you should always give me some compensation, right?" ”
"Miss Yang just say!" Sun Lichang said very honestly, "Our village is poor, but we are human, as long as we can do it......"
So, in the end, Yang Zixi re-signed a contract with Sun Lichang in front of the whole village of Xiangfang Village. It was also a hundred taels of silver, but he not only bought the house of the mountain guard, but also bought some wasteland near the house, and the villagers also moved a lot of tables, chairs, benches, bedding, pots and bowls and other daily necessities, and sent them to Baba.
Seeing off the people from Xiangfang Village, Yang Zixi said to Wang Xiaoshi happily: "Look? What do I say during the day? After all, the land of the second phase is still ours. ”
Wang Xiaoshi didn't come back to his senses stupidly, he thought for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Is that skeleton Chen Popi's father?" ”
Yang Zixi was stunned for a moment, and said: "It doesn't matter if it's his father or not, the Chen family needs an opportunity to correct their name, and Sun Dewang is naturally unwilling to admit the mistakes he made more than ten years ago, let them tear each other apart, if Xiangfang Village is a whole board, we will be more and more ostracized when we first arrive, and now they have conflicts with their own people, which is not necessarily a bad thing for us." ”
After speaking, she glanced at Wang Xiaoshi: "Where did you see the book?" ”
Wang Xiaoshi's face changed, and he stammered: "Look...... See...... After seeing better, I'll go back to the house and work hard. ”
After sending Wang Xiaoshi away, Yang Zixi washed his hands and face, and then entered the house.
Zi Du was already lying on the hot kang in white, he flipped through the book in his hand, and when he saw Yang Zixi coming in, he said, "That group of noisy mortals are all gone?" ”
Yang Zixi snorted and laughed, the little guy had a pink little face, pretended to speak, and put up a score to be extraordinarily cute.
"Laughing at what?" Zidui was unhappy, pouted and said, "Those people have a foul smell on them, don't let them into the backyard in the future." ”
"I know," Yang Zixi arrived at the basin of hot water, sat on the kangyan, took off his shoes and socks and buried his feet in them. The hot water soaked the feet, and the blisters on the soles of the feet hurt faintly, but there was no feeling of relaxation.
"But you don't like to contact with people have to be changed, now that you're young, others are shy and afraid of life, and when you grow up, you still ignore people, everyone will think you're too conceited, not easy to get along with. To be a human being, you have to integrate into this society, and it is natural that you will not be able to do your own thing. ”
Twilight: "......" shy and afraid of life? When did the master be shy and afraid of giving birth? How did the brains of those mortals grow? (#'′) convex
“…… You have been studying for a good time these days, I will go to the academy to find someone to ask you, and frame the scope of the test questions. Yang Zixi poured the water for washing his feet, took medicine on his own, took off his coat, and climbed into bed: "Squeeze it inside, it's not big and it still occupies so much space." ”
Twilight: Who needs to frame the scope of the test questions in the "......"? Who can't get through? Someone really dares to pass it, the master cuts his whole family!
He shrank inside, got into his quilt, covered his head with the quilt, and said in a sullen voice, "I don't want to go to the academy." ”
Yang Zixi smiled, this awkward child! But also, who wants to go to school? She reassured: "It's not for you to live on campus, naturally you still come back to live every day, you are too young, I am afraid that you will be bullied if you live alone in the academy." ”
Being bullied? The master still has to bully mortals!
Yang Zixi turned his back to him and muttered to himself: "No matter what kind of world you are in, it is not easy to live well. Either he has the ability to be superior to others, or he can only be like that Chen Pipi, smear himself, and become a gangster and hooligan so as not to suffer. I don't want you to be the latter, so you have to fight hard, study in the academy well, and even if you don't participate in the imperial examination in the future, you will at least have enough knowledge to protect yourself. ”
As she spoke, her voice went low, and soon there was the sound of steady breathing.
In the night, Zi Du stared at her figure quietly, as if there was a sour feeling in his heart, which made his eyes slightly hot. (To be continued......)
