Chapter 853: For the sake of face
Originally, Tang Xiao thought that the other party was unkind, so he learned to swallow his anger, and he was unlucky for this matter. After a few days, it will disappear.
But he didn't expect that he would underestimate the ability of this neighbor.
After the past few days, he still went viral in the village endlessly, and even in the village next door, when Tang Xiao passed by the mountain, he was pointed out by the other party, and there was a whisper behind him.
Tang Xiao, who had never been humiliated like this, felt that his self-esteem was picked up by others, stepped on it again, and started again later.
What else can I do! After all, this mistake is in himself, because he doesn't have a long memory, and he didn't think it was a big deal, but the other party actually magnified himself infinitely. It's just deliberately asking for trouble for yourself.
In fact, the people behind him pointed fingers at him, Tang Xiao went to the mountains and forests every day, digging medicine, leaving early and returning late, okay. But the daughter-in-law who takes care of her own mahjong parlor business will also pour water for others. When I was asked about the last time the neighbor said that the old man of his house stole his charger, Tang Xiao's daughter-in-law, who also felt that her heart was dull, couldn't help but scold Tang Xiao in her heart, she was really idle, and found something to do for herself.
In the end, Tang Xiao's daughter-in-law, who couldn't stand this kind of rumors, had to carry Tang Xiao behind her back (because she knew Tang Xiao's temper and knew that if she told him about it, he would definitely be stubborn and wouldn't agree!). Gave the next-door neighbor a thousand bucks.
A charger costs a few dozen dollars at most, and his daughter-in-law actually gave the other party a thousand yuan, and apologized and made amends! What is this? When Tang Xiao heard that the next door actually said that he knew that he knew that he had taken the money to settle the matter, that is, he had the strength to see his eyes, and his lungs were about to explode.
"Why did you give money to the other party and not tell me!" Tang Xiao angrily went to the wall and pointed to his daughter-in-law and asked.
Tang Xiao's daughter-in-law, who heard this, also looked helpless: "I also know, if you know that I will take the money to settle this matter, you will be angry!" But I can't help it! Look at the business of our mahjong parlor, because you have done this, the business is obviously not as good as before! The mahjong parlor is like my life, every day I am tired, I have to bear it myself! Usually, you don't have to worry about anything! If you feel sorry for me, just bow your head once, and we will be ruined to avoid disaster!! ”
Hearing his daughter-in-law's words, Tang Xiao, who was originally very angry, also became silent. How could he not know what his daughter-in-law did in the mahjong parlor every day for the sake of this family.
In order to run this own mahjong parlor, the daughter-in-law serves the guests every day. Whenever the water in the guest's teacup has just been drunk on her front foot, her back foot is guaranteed to be full! Such a diligent daughter-in-law is also Tang Xiao's pride.
But now, because he provoked his neighbor, the neighbor actually ruined his reputation in order to take revenge, and even had the face to accept a thousand yuan from his family!
A thousand yuan, for a charger with an original price of only a few dozen yuan, this is a difference of many times! Tang Xiao, who was angry, although he didn't say anything to his daughter-in-law in person, he hated his neighbors in his heart. It has taken root and sprouted.
With the delivery of 1,000 yuan to the neighbor's house, the rumors about stealing from him slowly subsided.
But the anger in Tang Xiao's heart has never subsided. Not only that, but he also felt that his neighbor's behavior was obviously deliberately bullying himself. It's bullying!
So the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart, he decided to find an opportunity to clean up this arrogant neighbor.
It didn't take long for Tang Xiao to really catch a chance.
When he happened to pass by the door of his neighbor's house, Tang Xiao actually saw a large amount of new wood piled up in his neighbor's house. It looks like it's going to be used to build a house!
This is a forest area, and for Tang Xiao, who grew up here, of course he knows the rules here. So he quickly ran home excitedly and made a phone call to the local forestry bureau.
Soon, not long after the phone hung up, someone from the Forestry Bureau came to the door.
"Someone reported that the wood in your house was cut from the mountain, don't you know that this is a crime??" When the Forestry Bureau saw that there was really a pile of wood in the yard, they couldn't help but ask the neighbors.
Tang Xiao saw that the Forestry Bureau was coming, which was a great opportunity for him to take revenge. Hurry up and call the people in the surrounding village to see how the neighbor actually cut down the trees on the mountain in order to build a house.
The neighbors didn't expect that their own family was just building a house, and it would be like this. When he saw Tang Xiao with a gloating face again, he suddenly had a number in his heart.
"Trying to get revenge on me?!!" The neighbor was very angry, but for now, it was better to explain it clearly to the Forestry Bureau first.
"You may be mistaken, this is wood we bought from outside, not from the mountain! Look at it, there's also the receipt when you bought wood! The neighbor said as he took out the receipt. I saw Tang Xiao's originally gloating face, and he suddenly drooped.
He didn't expect that the wood of the neighbor's house. I really bought it.
This time the revenge failed, Tang Xiao was full of loss and went home with a sad face.
But it was precisely because of Tang Xiao's revenge that he completely angered the cautious neighbor. He began to call the police station frequently, saying that Tang Xiao's mahjong parlor was at his house. Gather to gamble!!
As soon as this matter is reported, after all, Tang Xiao's family is in business, and the most important thing is popularity. Originally, because of Tang Xiao's incident last time, he had already caused trouble in the business of his own mahjong parlor. There is a downward trend.
In the past two days, it has just picked up, and after Tang Xiao made such a fuss, and the other party took revenge even more frantically, his own mahjong parlor was almost closed.
"You! You! I say what good you are! Last time, because you took someone else's charger, I paid a thousand yuan, so I smoothed out this matter, and you are so good, you actually caused an incident again! What the hell do you say you're going to do! Isn't it very happy to see your own mahjong parlor go out of business! Tang Xiao's daughter-in-law is about to explode. She saw that there was no one in her mahjong parlor for a day, and as soon as someone came, the neighbors hurriedly reported it, saying that her family was gathering to gamble again, how can you not make people collapse, how can the mahjong parlor not close the door!!
Hearing his daughter-in-law's crying and scolding, Tang Xiao also regretted it. He didn't expect that when he wanted to take advantage of this, he was like playing chess to win a game again, and this time, he lost both people and money, and he was defeated.
Originally, because of the very beginning, Tang Xiao couldn't sleep all night, and he was haunted in his heart, and now he made this scene again, so after he was told by his daughter-in-law, he couldn't bear it, and found a neighbor to theorize, and finally caused this tragedy.
