Chapter 34: Asking for a Round Porcelain Inkstone
When the village women saw Tang and Rou walking towards them, the contempt and ridicule in their eyes became even stronger.
Tang Yourou didn't bother to be polite anymore, his face was sad, and he asked Mrs. Shen bluntly, "Grandma Shen, what happened?" I've been in the county today, and I've just come back, but I haven't done anything. ”
Mrs. Shen glanced at her and said, "You white-eyed wolf, you got your grandmother's money, squandered it outside, and poisoned them." We also have a conscience when you heal the whole village, but I didn't expect you to be so unfilial piety. ”
Tang Yourou raised his eyebrows: "What is the word for poisoning?" I've never done that. ”
Another woman grabbed the white and said, "What about quibbling? Your grandmother and your second uncle are out of phase. Your third aunt went to the hospital to ask for a doctor's diagnosis and treatment, and was kicked out. In the final analysis, it's also your relationship with the doctor, and now your grandmother has no one to treat the disease. Even if the old lady of the Tang family asks you to honor her silver, you can't poison your grandmother! ”
Others seconded the proposal: "Yes, it's too unusual!" ”
"How can you treat grandma like this, it's so unconscionable."
Tang and Rou suddenly remembered the incident of last night.
The dog meat that was dried on the linen clothes was used as bait, and Mrs. Tang snatched it without saying anything, obviously it was an oolong made by her own greed.
She hasn't had time to ask for the round porcelain inkstone given by Zhang Wenshou!
Tang and Rou immediately showed aggrieved expressions, and carefully explained the causes and consequences of last night to these women.
Last night, Mrs. Tang thought that she was righteous, and she and Song Ming ran to break the house shouting.
A woman who lived not far away immediately said, "It seems that there is such a thing, I hear a movement." ”
"It's such a thing, and Mrs. Tang is too hateful."
"Don't say what she was like in the past, but now she still doesn't change, and she even has to snatch her granddaughter's food." The woman asked Tang and Rou again, "Rou girl, why don't you honor your grandmother after you cook dog meat, so that she will come and rob you of the rest?" ”
Tang and Rou choked.
She had nothing to say to them.
After a slight pause, he pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Grandma didn't say that I had evil spirits in my body, so I asked my cousin to throw the black dog at the edge of my fence." The black dog ** was beaten out, it was really scary, I didn't want to eat it, but I thought about throwing it in my yard meant that I would eat it all, so I didn't leave it for my grandparents. ”
As soon as she said this, several women made excuses and ran away, as if they didn't want to be contaminated with the "evil spirit" on her, and the topic of her "unfilial piety" came to an abrupt end.
Tang Yourou looked at the scattered women, and was not displeased, but felt that their ears were much cleaner.
How many girls in the village have a reputation between the mouths of these long-tongued women, and she wants to stay away from these long-tongued women.
Anyway, as long as there is medical skills, these people will always come to her if they are sick.
She went back to the dilapidated house, but heard a quarrel coming from the yard.
"What are you talking about?! My inkstone was snatched away by your milk? Let's make it clear, when was it snatched, and where is the inkstone now? ”
Zhang Wenshou's rough voice came from the fence, and there was a young lady's crying.
Tang Dou'er roared loudly: "Brother Wen Shou, you let go of my second sister, it was grandma who snatched it, what does it have to do with her?" ”
Tang and Rou listened to the sound, and stepped into the fence with hurried steps.
The treasure chest had already been set up, and the water on the stove had boiled. The fourteen-year-old boy stood on the edge of the stove, clasping the young lady's young shoulders with both hands, very aggressive.
Under Zhang Wenshou's questioning, Tang Youniang's eyes were full of tears, and she whispered repeatedly that she was snatched away by her grandmother, but she didn't dare to refute loudly, she was very helpless.
Tang Yourou watched Zhang Wenshou and his sister's physical contact, and his anger surged. She doesn't care about her reputation, but Tang Youniang is going to marry in the future. At the age of ten, there was already a kiss at someone else's house, so what would happen if it was seen by others?
She shouted, "What kind of ability is it to bully a little girl? Have the ability to question the old pious woman of the Tang family! ”
"I'm sorry!" Zhang Wenshou knew that he was out of shape, so he hurriedly let go of his hand, and asked Tang Herou anxiously, "Sister Rou, is my round porcelain inkstone still in the Tang family?" ”
Tang and Rouyu were still angry, glaring at him: "It was snatched away by my grandmother!" Who knows if it's not there? You should go to Tang's house and ask! ”
When she said this, she was angry, and even she felt that she was at a loss.
The round porcelain inkstone is placed on the side of the broken house, and she should have the responsibility to take care of it. If this scholar's younger brother catches this trick, he can even ask her directly for compensation.
However, Zhang Wenshou did not hold him responsible, but was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and paced in place: "How is this good, how is it good?" ”
He also handed the tied money string in his hand to Tang Yourou and said, "This is the consultation fee under the next, and I will clear it with you below." Please also ask Sister Rou to guide me through the maze, how do I get my inkstone back? It's my grandfather's relic, and if I lose it, I'll ...... I really ......."
Just listening to his words, Tang Yourou's anger disappeared by half, and then there were hundreds of more copper coins in his palm, and his mood turned from anger to joy.
I don't know if this scholar's younger brother is well-educated, or if he really won't quarrel, why is his style so gentle?
This is a real scholar, so what can Tang Zhuangyuan be?
Tang Yourou compared him with his cousin, had a little more respect for Zhang Wenshou, and was no longer annoyed by his previous rudeness to his sister, so he said: "I'll go to Tang's house with you and find a way to get the round porcelain inkstone back." But if my grandmother still doesn't want to, then I'm afraid I can only go home after bothering Zhang Daxiu. ”
"Good!" Zhang Wenshou nodded immediately.
"Young lady, you throw this money string in the box, remember to lock it. What to see? Tang and Rou wanted to throw the money string to the young lady, but when they saw her looking at Zhang Wenshou with a dull gaze, they called her back.
"Well......" Tang Youniang woke up like a dream, hurriedly took the money strings, turned around and went back to the house.
Tang went to Tang's house with Rou and Zhang Wenshou.
……
According to the time calculation, it should be the time for the Tang family to sit around the low table and eat food together. But Old Man Tang, Old Lady Tang, Tang Yungui and Song Ming had diarrhea so badly, and they didn't know if they would go out of the house to eat.
Approaching Tang's house, Tang Yourou glanced at Zhang Wenshou.
This scholar's younger brother looked so nervous as if he was about to go to war, he and Zhang Daxiu had no father and mother during the disaster year, and I don't know how this brother taught his younger brother, but he taught a young man who farmed the fields all day long to be so gentle.
This religion is so enviable.
"You're not good at arguing, don't rush to talk later, watch me give you a look. When you are asked to speak, you have to emphasize that this is your family heirloom, and that everyone in the private school knows that this is Zhang Daxiu's family. Let me do the rest. ”
Zhang Wenshou was stunned and nodded: "Well......"
Tang Yourou looked at him dumbfounded, as if she was a king with a bronze sprout and a new man, and her heart was very happy.
