Chapter 8: Scandals
When the students of the literacy class were disturbed by Tian Zhigao's three letters, the courtyard of the Tian family came out with billowing smoke, and the villagers of Linshui Village ran to fight the fire, almost the whole village gathered to the Tian family, and the fires in the firewood pile and pigsty behind the kitchen had been extinguished, but the people did not disperse, and the people were crowded, even if they stepped on their shoulders and wanted to drill into the yard, this was because of the strange and ugly things that the Tian family had done, which made everyone curious, and they couldn't help but want to see it with their own eyes.
The cadres of the brigade and the village elders came forward, but it was difficult to disperse the crowd, and finally they had to call the militia to maintain order, guarding the gate of the Tianjiayuan and not allowing the villagers to enter, after all, the phenomenon was too bad and unethical.
But soon he called the tractor in the team to drive the tractor over, put straw and quilts, carried two people out of the Tianjia courtyard, and sent them to the commune health center overnight.
One is Tian Agui, who is old in the end, and may have been frightened by the people who rushed into the courtyard to fight the fire, and suffered a stroke; One is Tian Xianglan, she is neatly dressed, as if she didn't do anything, but for some reason she fell unconscious next to the pillar of the hall, and a blood hole was knocked out of her forehead, and she was afraid that she would not survive if she was not sent to the hospital for rescue.
The barefoot doctors and village doctors in the brigade clinic were busy cooking medicinal soup and pouring medicine into the Tian family one by one.
For the people who gathered in front of the Tianjiayuan to listen to the news, the village local doctor gave an explanation: Tian Shuifeng has picked up herbs to eat for many years, and often adds some nourishing herbs when stewing soup, which is indeed good for the body, but tonight she was careless, and she put the wrong herbs when she stewed chicken, so the whole family was poisoned!
The local doctor in the countryside said that it was poisoning, and people secretly said: This poison is so powerful, and it is also evil, and if you don't see it by a doctor in the future, you don't dare to eat herbs indiscriminately, and you don't dare to eat it again.
Someone with good deeds ran to the literacy class to spread the news, saying that there was an accident in the Tian family, it was a fire and food poisoning, and the entire literacy class was taken aback, Meng Tao immediately got up and ran to the village, Zhou Cuiling hurriedly called everyone together and accompanied her back to see what the situation was.
Meng Tao and the others ran back to the door of Tian's house, most of the people in the village were still standing and talking, I don't know who contributed the pine resin torch lit two, illuminated the door, saw Meng Tao running, aunts and aunts immediately stepped forward to surround her in the middle, and asked her where she was going?
Meng Tao still said the old saying, and replied that there were many guests at home, and there were not enough dishes and chopsticks to see at dinner, and the place to sit was too crowded, so Tian Shuifeng asked her to go out to play first, and she went to the literacy class to study.
The aunts and aunts suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, some scolded Wang Shuifeng for being too bad, and knew that when he was working, he called his daughter-in-law, and the whole family would kill chickens and eat and drive his daughter-in-law out of the door, and more people were just happy for Meng Tao, and sighed loudly: It's right to go to a literacy class, it's good to learn culture, if you stay at home, it's terrible!
The intellectuals in the team also stood in the corner to watch the excitement, and one of the male intellectuals patted the shoulder of the other male intellectuals and said, "Sun Yutang, it seems that I made a mistake by pulling you away just now, if you enter the house with that Tian Yalan, you can ...... it now." really became her son-in-law! ”
Sun Yutang punched the male intellectual: "Get out!" ”
In the midst of laughter, another educated youth said: "People are fat and water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, cousins and cousins kiss each other, you Sun Yutang is in the house, I'm afraid it's no fun!" ”
Sun Yutang pushed the educated youth: "Don't take me to find fun." Let's go back, I hid the bottle of two pot heads, and then fried some soybeans, everyone has a share! ”
"Whew! Dude is interesting! Hurry up, hurry up, go away! The educated youths giggled and walked away.
The neighbors also gradually dispersed.
Zhou Cuiling pulled Meng Tao to prevent her from entering the courtyard of the Tian family, and when she saw the women's director coming out of it, she went to ask a few words, and the women's director looked at Meng Tao and agreed to let her go home with Zhou Cuiling temporarily.
Meng Tao followed Zhou Cuiling to her house.
Zhou Cuiling's father, Zhou Shi'an, was tinkling in the kitchen to trim the wooden shelves where the sundries were placed, he knew that something had happened to the Tian family, and he heard Cuiling's mother come back to say it, but he didn't go to the scene, there are rules at the first level, and the cadres of the brigade don't need to shout and point to him if he is a commune cadre, if there is a big problem or need to report, they will naturally come over.
Seeing that the girl took Meng Tao into the kitchen to find food, saying that Meng Tao didn't eat dinner, Zhou Shi'an walked out without doing anything first, and asked the girl to give Meng Tao a hot bowl of dumplings, Cui Ling's mother made dumplings tonight, and mixed the stuffing with the tender shepherd's cabbage dried in the spring, which was delicious, and the remaining bowl was in the cupboard.
When Meng Tao was eating dumplings, Zhou Cuiling walked to the hall and showed Tian Zhigao's three letters to her father.
"The conscience of the rabbit cub let the dog eat! Back then, so many obedient words were all coaxing? Meng Lao is gone, but a few of us are still alive, I want to see how hard his kid's wings are! No matter how high you fly, you don't have to forget your roots! ”
Zhou Cuiling thought that Meng Tao could escape tonight, but it was because the Tian family had meat to eat, so she was sent out, she went to the literacy class hungry, like this, I don't know how many times in the past four years.
Zhou Shi'an was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Meng Lao is going to have a request, but I can't help him!" I haven't taken care of it all these years, but the girl in Peach Blossom is too ...... How so? Like a gray rabbit, he runs when he sees someone, he can't get close at all, and it's hard to say a word. She is timid and cowardly, and when she enters Tian's house, she treats it as her home, only listening to Wang Shuifeng, we are all outsiders, except for talking to Tian Agui and Tian Shuifeng from time to time, and giving a few words, what else can I do? I asked the team headquarters to take back half of the courtyard of the Meng family, otherwise...... Alas, the peach blossom can't stand up by itself, it's difficult! ”
Zhou Cuiling said: "Peach Blossom has a weak personality, doesn't know how to resist, and is deceived by others, that's because she refuses to go to school and study, and her mind is closed and she doesn't have long knowledge." Because she wants to write a letter to Tian Zhigao, she is now eager to learn culture, and she has to insist on taking her to a literacy class, I believe that knowledge can change a person, she will be strong and self-reliant. ”
Zhou Shi'an nodded: "Yes, then you will trouble my daughter in the future, take care of the peach blossoms more." ”
"Hey, no trouble. Peach Blossom is to let the Tian family be buried, in fact, close to her slowly understand, I found that she is quite smart. ”
"Peach Blossom is just weak, not stupid, she was very smart and cute when she was a child, when Meng Lao was alive, she was fine, she could say hello when she saw people, and she was not afraid. may be because she was born without parents, nor a brother or sister to accompany her, and her grandfather also left early, her personality has changed like that - she wants relatives and wants to have someone to rely on, but she is wrong Tian Zhigao, and the Tian family is not a good family, especially that Wang Shuifeng, she is the most eccentric among the women in the village! You see her treating Peach Blossom like this, and Peach Blossom is still grateful to her. ”
"Dad, Tian Zhigao's letter said that he was going to hold a wedding with the 'third sister-in-law' in the city, on October 1 this year."
Zhou Shi'an snorted: "It's not that easy!" ”
After Meng Tao finished eating the dumplings and washed the dishes, and walked to the hall, Zhou Shi'an talked to her as gently as possible, seeing that Peach Blossom no longer wanted to run away like a gray rabbit, and could answer well, Zhou Shi'an was very satisfied, thinking that it was because of the company of his daughter Zhou Cuiling.
For being betrayed by Tian Zhigao, Meng Tao was not the original owner, and he couldn't be sad, so he had to do his best to desperately recall his grief when his grandmother died in his previous life, so he forced out two lines of tears, and then just lowered his head and wiped his eyes, saying:
"He doesn't want me anymore, I will live in my own yard in the future, and I won't go to Tian's house."
"Tian Zhigao, he is upside down, you should have lived in your own home, this is what your father wants, your father is also for your good, you have such a temperament, living in the Tian family is a loss."
Zhou Shi'an frowned and continued: "Tian Zhigao, he dares not to want you? Your marriage with him is witnessed by the whole village, are you the original partner know? Don't worry, he can't marry someone else, we will arrest him back for you! ”
Meng Tao cried and waved her hand: "I used to be young and ignorant, but now I understand, there is a difference between culture and culture, even if others come back, the heart can't come back, what's the use?" Let him go, so that both of them will be sad. ”
Zhou Shi'an's brows furrowed even tighter: "Peach Blossom, as long as you still want to be husband and wife with him, he must come back." Unless you don't want him anymore, then make another plan, you know? ”
Meng Tao: "I'm not worthy of him, so I won't delay him, let's divide it." ”
"You mean you don't want to go with him?"
"He taught the sixth and seventh children in the letter to call other women to be the third sister-in-law, then he has already lived with that woman, what else do I want him to do?"
Zhou Cuiling agreed: "Peach Blossom, you are right to think so!" Tian Zhigao has been with other women for so long, we still think he is dirty, people are dirty, we don't want it! Peach Blossom, it's not that you don't deserve him, it's that he's bad, and he doesn't deserve you! ”
Zhou Shi'an was speechless, and nodded after a while: "Okay, I know what you think, wait until tomorrow to discuss it with the team and see how to do it." ”
