Chapter 6: Punishment and Reward (Happy New Year's Day)
The ancestral hall of the Wang family is brightly lit, and the family, young and old, all come, and no one is left behind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Wang Ning'an's grandmother Xu, Cui's second son Wang Ningxuan, and Wang Ningze and Wang Luoxiang, who had already slept, were all called up, and the two little guys were sleepy-eyed, and they didn't know what was going on, so they could only snuggle up in their brother's arms and nap.
"Get on your knees!"
Wang Ninghong's legs were weak, and he subconsciously bent his knees. Cui Shi stopped doing it, and said angrily: "Uncle He, what are you scaring the child for?" ”
Wang Liangqi was so angry that he screamed, "Second daughter-in-law, at this time, are you still protecting him?" Maybe it was you who instigated him to steal the horse and wanted to harm the fourth family? ”
As soon as these words came out, Cui's face turned pale for a while, in fact, after she beat Wang Ningan, she remembered that Wang Ninghong had indeed asked her for money before, but Cui's felt that her son had spent a lot of money and didn't give it. Later, the horse was lost, Wang Ningan said that the eldest brother took it away, and Cui's also thought that maybe his son took it.
But first, she didn't want to believe that her son would steal things, second, she was interested in cleaning up Wang Ning'an, and third, she may subconsciously feel that her son stole the family's horse, which is her son's cleverness...... How do you know that you actually caught a positive one, and now Cui's will be embarrassed.
"His uncle, they are all his own family, borrowing the family's horse, what is it to steal, don't say it so ugly, as if our family is a thief......"
Cui Shi was talking, and suddenly felt that someone was looking at him, and following his gaze, it was Wang Ning'an!
"Second uncle, I'm not mistaken, during the day, when you arrived at our yard, you made a lot of noise, saying that your nephew was a thief and a loser who stole things, how did you become so enlightened in a blink of an eye, it's really strange!"
Cui's face turned red when he was asked, and in a hurry, he could only look at the old lady pitifully.
"Look at it, they all bully their granddaughters-in-law!" Cui Shi seemed to have been wronged, "Ning Hong is a good boy, he won't steal things......"
Mrs. Wang was used to listening to and believing it, so she even nodded, "Although I didn't steal anything, it's not good to take it without telling ......."
Ooh!
All of a sudden, the crime was countless times lighter, and then did it not hurt or itch, and Wang Ninghong would be spared?
Wang Ning'an couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up suddenly, "Grandma, the eldest brother stole the horse and sold it to the Golden Tiger, do you want to invite him to testify?" ”
"What?"
Although Mrs. Wang was eccentric, she was not completely confused. Who is Golden Tiger? Last year, a family in Tuta Village could not pay the money and was forced to drink brine on Chinese New Year's Eve.
was actually involved with such a murderer, Mrs. Wang couldn't be partial, walked in front of Wang Ninghong, hated iron and said: "Ning Hong, what's going on, tell Grandma quickly!" ”
Wang Liangqi clenched his fists and scolded angrily: "If you don't say it, don't say that I will kill you!" ”
Cui Shi wanted to defend his son, but he couldn't find any words, so he was helpless, Wang Ninghong had to be intermittent and his words were vague, but Wang Ningan also figured out the reason...... It turned out that Wang Ninghong heard his good friend Li Zhen say that Cangzhou recently produced a master who can predict the victory or defeat of dog fighting, and he is extremely accurate - dog fighting originated in the Northern Song Dynasty, Cangzhou is located on the border, the people are fierce, and dog fighting is very popular.
The Song people are good at gambling, called "Guan Pu", even if they sell early, they also get a target for people to project, if they are lucky, they can eat a hearty breakfast at a very low price, which is similar to the ring play that still exists in later generations.
Some people combine dog fighting and guan pounce, before each game, choose a bullish fighting dog bet, if you win, you can get a good reward, many people are tired of it.
Listening to Li Zhen, it has been correct three times in a row, which is really extraordinary. The fourth time is just in time for the final, the odds are the highest, and once the bet is won, it can be multiplied tenfold.
However, if you want the fourth result, it is not free, but you need to spend five times to buy it.
Wang Ninghong was tempted, he discussed with Li Zhen, each paid five yuan, bought a result, and then bet on five yuan. Winning the money, the two of them split in half. Wang Ninghong only had the restraints for his husband, as well as food expenses, and only a lot of money, so he made up the idea of his family, secretly took the horse away, and wanted to sell it for money and bet on gambling......
After listening, even the Cui family knew that the matter was big, and the old lady Wang turned around, faced the ancestral spiritual position, and cried loudly: "The descendants are not good, let the ancestors be ashamed, the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, Zhang, uphold the family rules of the ancestors, punish Wang Ninghong, the descendant of the Wang family, please witness the ancestors!" ”
In an instant, the old lady was possessed by a fierce god, picked up a three-foot-long wooden stick, and stared at Wang Ninghong viciously.
Wang Liangqi moved a long chair, and Wang Ninghong was pressed on it, and his clothes were stripped off, exposing his back and buttocks.
Syllable!
The old lady swung a stick and beat it, Wang Ninghong's eyes turned black in pain, and he screamed like a pig. Cui's opened his mouth, wanting to ask for mercy, but he didn't have the guts, the Wang family's family law is like a mountain, but it's not a joke, so he can only turn his head and sobbed in a low voice.
And Wang Ningan stared wide-eyed and looked at it with appreciation, he didn't have any sympathy, on the contrary, he felt that he didn't fight hard enough!
Predicting the victory or defeat of the dog fight, the first three times don't need money, the most critical one is to use money to buy the results, and one mouth is five runs, Wang Ningan thinks with his toes, it's all a scam. Wang Ninghong is brainless, he actually prepared to sell the family's horse, he didn't know what to say about him, he had read the book in vain for a few years, and he had become a pig's head, so it was better to give himself the opportunity.
Even if you are stupid, you still pull others into the water, causing Lao Tzu to be beaten, and if you don't teach him a hard lesson, it's simply intolerable!
Although he thought so, Wang Ningan was still a little chilled when he really witnessed the family law, it was so brutal!
The old lady raised the stick high, and while beating, she also counted Wang Ninghong's guilt.
"Listen! This time you've broken the rules of the Five Great Families! ”
The old lady said in a loud voice: "First, you make friends with bad people, that Li Zhen instigated you to steal the family's horse, he is not a good thing, he doesn't know people, should he be beaten!" ”
"Yes!" Wang Ninghong gritted his teeth and said.
The stick then fell, leaving a blinding reddish-purple patch on its back.
"Second, you are not yet an adult, and you actually learned to go to Guan Pu, and took out five yuan at once, do you know, how many families are ruined because of good gambling? Should I gamble for money? ”
"Yes!"
Wang Ninghong hugged the bench and spoke with a crying voice.
The old lady fell with a stick in her hand, and now her skin was so broken that she almost fainted.
"Third, should I be beaten for stealing the family's horses and stealing the family's property without permission?"
"Also, you secretly took away the horse, causing your second brother to be beaten by your mother, is there still half a bit of love between brothers? Should I fight or not? ”
"Is it easy for our family to go to a private school for you? If you don't study hard and ponder some crooked ways, you really want to be angry with me! ”
……
Mrs. Wang was charged with one crime, so she beat a few sticks, and in the end, Wang Ninghong couldn't speak, only heard the popping sound of the board.
Cui Shi couldn't help it, pounced and protected his son.
"Grandma, you can't fight anymore, Ning Hong is also kind, he also sees that our family is in difficulty, the child has made a little mistake, just spare him!"
"Little mistake?"
Mrs. Wang couldn't believe her ears, "Second daughter-in-law, is this a small mistake?" The ancestors of the Wang family are generals, they are decent people, four generations are in the same house, children and grandchildren cannot steal, gamble, and frame their brothers, if this is a small mistake, there is no big mistake. If you don't punish it, the ancestors of the Wang family won't be at peace! ”
Cui Shi didn't have the courage to argue with the old lady, so he could only bow his head and acquiesce, but in his expression, he was obviously a little disdainful, as long as he could make money, he didn't care if it was clean or not, it was really pedantic.
Mrs. Wang saw Cui's dissatisfaction, and she regretted it even more in her heart, and even fell into self-blame. It seems that they are too accustomed to the second family, so that they have no fear, don't care about anything, and don't teach a hard lesson, the Wang family must be finished!
"Just kneel in the ancestral hall, don't give food or drink, kneel for three days first." The old lady glanced at Cui's majestically, "If you dare to bring him food, get out of the Wang family, the old body doesn't dare to ask for a daughter-in-law who doesn't understand right and wrong!" ”
Cui Shi was completely stunned, opened his mouth, and couldn't find the words to justify. She was completely scared, and she was full of complaints, if her husband was at home and someone helped to speak, why was she so passive?
……
The old lady finished punishing Wang Ninghong and was about to leave, Wang Ningan desperately gave the uncle a look, Wang Liangqi finally remembered, and said busily: "Grandma, the rewards and punishments must be clear, the incident of the first two days, Ning An was wronged, as an elder, I can't help but give him an explanation." ”
Mrs. Wang said casually, "What do you want to do?" ”
Wang Liangqi said solemnly: "Grandma, Ning Hong has made so many mistakes, which shows that he has not paid attention to his studies all these years, and he has not taken the lessons of the saints to heart. Counting on him to become a talent, the glory of the Wang family, the grandson thought it was impossible. It's better to give Ning An the opportunity to read, I think he is the right material! ”
"Nonsense!" Cui Shi jumped up all of a sudden, "My son is the Wenqu star in the sky, and the blind fortune teller has said it!" ”
Poof!
Wang Liangqi laughed directly, "Second daughter-in-law, have you ever seen Wenqu Xing stealing things?" Have you ever seen a Wenqu star who pits his brother? Da Lang's conduct, let him study, maybe it will harm our family in the future! ”
Cui's was robbed and had nothing to say, so he could only look at Mrs. Wang with teary eyes.
This time, Mrs. Wang was indeed too disappointed in Wang Ninghong, the most terrible thing was that during the day, she also punished Wang Ningan, obviously wronged the child, if she didn't compensate him, when Wang Liangjing came back, the family would never have peace.
Mrs. Wang was reluctant, but she had to make up her mind.
"Okay, just do what the boss says, let Ning An study!"
Suppressing the excitement, Wang Ningan stood up and said loudly: "Grandma, my grandson must study hard, become successful as soon as possible, and rejuvenate the Wang family, there will never be the slightest slackness, let alone make friends indiscriminately." ”
The old lady nodded perfunctorily, and said excitedly: "I'm tired, you all go back." ”
