Chapter 118: Admitting Mistakes
Xie Daniu was still pretending to be silent, and immediately jumped up when he heard Tong Chuxue's words, "You are talking nonsense, a piglet can be sold for one tael of silver at most, where is it worth three taels." ”
Tong Chuxue looked at Xie Daniu's thunderous appearance, and said with a smile, "Eh, you still know that a piglet is worth a tael of silver." ”
Xie Daniu realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly covered his mouth and refused to say a word.
"Since you don't want to say it, then we can only go to your house and have a look." Tong Chu Snow Trail.
Tong Chuxue believes that the person Tong Shan found should not be so despicable, I am afraid that there is something inside.
As soon as Xie Daniu heard that he was going to his house, he immediately blocked Tong Chuxue's way.
Tong Chuxue looked at the dark arm in front of her, and said with a smile, "Why, you don't want me to go, then tell me where the two pigs that were lost go?" ”
Xie Daniu still didn't speak.
Tong Chuxue's face was cold, and in front of everyone's eyes, there was a difference between men and women, and she didn't believe that Xie Da Niu could really stop her.
Sure enough, she went straight forward, and seeing that she was about to bump into Xie Daniu's arm, Xie Daniu immediately retracted her arm, for fear that she would run into Tong Chuxue.
Tong Chuxue's attitude was resolute, and she looked like she would never give up until she reached her goal, which made Xie Daniu's heart beat a drum.
Tong Shan knew that the other party was a little compromised as soon as he saw Xie Da Niu's appearance, and said kindly, "Da Niu, losing two pigs is not a trivial matter, you are also a farmer, you must know that pigs are the most expensive, a pig can be sold for more than three taels of silver, almost worth a year's wages." ”
Xie Daniu sighed, knowing that if he didn't give an explanation today, Li Zheng and Tong Chuxue would not let him go.
He said with difficulty, "Pig, I stole it." ”
Although Tong Shan knew that the problem must be Xie Daniu, he couldn't help but feel sad when he heard the other party admit it in person, "You have been in the village for so many years, and I haven't heard that you have done anything to cheat and deceive, what happened this time." ”
The disappointment on Tong Shan's face couldn't be hidden.
Xie Daniu didn't feel good either, "Lizheng, I can't help it." ”
"My youngest son and my old mother have recently fallen ill, and the barefoot doctor in the village said that he could not see the disease and asked us to take it to the town hospital. I sent them there, and the people at the hospital said that the child's illness was easy to cure, but my mother's illness was a little troublesome. It's not that the cure is bad, it's that the medicine is expensive. ”
"My mother heard that the medicine was expensive, and she shouted that she would die, but as a son, how could I watch my mother get sick and ignore it."
Tong Chuxue concluded, "So you stole two pigs from the pig barn and took them out to sell? ”
Xie Daniu did not deny it and nodded.
Tong Shan also sighed in his heart, after all, this matter is not a lack of money, he said, Xie Daniu's reputation in the village has always been okay over the years, how could such a thing happen.
"Now that you have admitted it, you can't do the work of raising pigs anymore." Tong Shan Road.
Xie Daniu knew that he had done this, and it was impossible to get Tong Shan's forgiveness, so he didn't say anything and left the shed silently.
"Or I'll let Uncle Luo come over for two days." Tong Chuxue suggested that she estimated that Tong Shan might not find someone to take over so quickly.
……
Originally, even if Xie Daniu's matter was over, he got the money, and his mother's illness was also treated.
But for some, it hasn't passed.
In the past few days, Luo Changhua went to the pig factory to help, Luo Hui'an and Tong Chuxue were in charge of the greenhouse, and the two were checking the growth of Ganoderma lucidum, when they suddenly heard a noisy sound.
They were still some distance from the center of the village, and the sound could be heard here, thinking that something big had happened.
They followed the sound and found that Lizheng's house was surrounded by people on three floors inside and three layers outside.
In the center of the crowd, a white-haired old lady stood at the door, "Tong Shan, my big cow has done something wrong, and I have taught him a hard lesson." I know that you are poor in our family, and you specially gave Da Niu a chance to make money. ”
The old lady lifted her crutches and knocked on Xie Daniu's back, "But this kid who doesn't know what to do is actually stealing piglets to sell them for money, this matter is our fault after all." He wants to see a doctor and buy medicine for me, so you can spare him for the sake of filial piety. ”
Tong Shan was also full of embarrassment, he knew that Xie Daniu's heart was not bad, but the method he used was wrong. And if this matter is not dealt with seriously, how can he manage the people behind him.
Seeing that Tong Shan didn't speak, the old lady walked up to him and made a gesture to kneel down for Tong Shan.
This frightened Tong Shan, and he quickly stopped the person, "How can this be done!" ”
"Li Zheng, you see if this will work, our family will take the money and buy the two piglets back, and you will give Da Niu another chance." With Tong Shan stopping, the old lady didn't really kneel down, "Don't worry, we barely spent these two taels of silver, and we must return the things." ”
Tong Shan sighed deeply, "In the future, the village plans to build more pig houses, if something similar happens in the future......
The old lady understood Tong Shan's unfinished intentions, but thinking of the current situation at home, she just let go of this old face, and she also wanted to keep her son's job, "Lizheng, I know you are difficult to do, please read it for the sake of my son's filial piety, and be accommodating this time." My wife has lived for so many years, she has already lived enough, and if she dies, she will die, but my daughter-in-law is still pregnant with a child in her belly, and I can't even take out a handful of japonica rice at home, and I really have no choice, so you should take pity on my old wife and let my son continue to work. ”
What the old lady said is true, the Xie family has been a well-known poor household in the village over the years, the family only has two acres of land, and they live pitifully on weekdays, living on coarse grains and wild vegetables.
If you don't eat well, your body will naturally not be strong, and you have to spend some money to see a doctor and drink medicine, which is a vicious circle.
Luo Hui'an saw that Tong Shan was in a dilemma, and he was undecided, and said, "This matter is not easy to handle. ”
Tong Chuxue's opinion is the same as Luo Hui'an, the old lady is so troublesome, it is to put Tong Shan in a difficult position.
"If it were you, what would you do?" Tong Chuxue asked.
"Actually, it's not that hard." Luo returned to Andao.
"In that case, can you bear to look at Uncle Lizheng like this?" Tong Chuxue gave Luo Hui'an a look.
Luo Hui'an smiled slightly, walked to Tong Shan's side, and said a few words in his ear.
I heard Tong Shan say to Xie Daniu, "In view of the fact that you know that you can change your mistakes and are willing to return the piglets, I can keep you to continue to work in the pig barn, but you can no longer participate in the matter of raising pigs, I have other things for you to do." ”
The old lady burst into tears, lifted her crutches and slapped her son gently, "Thank you Lizheng for not being able to do so."
Xie Daniu walked up to Tong Shan and bowed deeply, "Thank you Lizheng, I will definitely work hard in the future, and I will not do such a thing again." ”
Tong Shan helped Xie Daniu up, "Although I can forgive you once, there will definitely be no next time." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Xie Daniu nodded again and again.
The old lady also helped on the side, "Don't worry, if there is a next time, no one else needs to say, I will beat this kid to death first." ”
After watching the excitement, everyone dispersed and went home.
Tong Chuxue walked up to Xie Daniu and asked, "Do you know how to grow vegetables?" ”
Xie Daniu nodded.
"I'll leave it to you to grow vegetables in the future." Tong Chu Snow Trail.
Xie Daniu was a little puzzled, there were not many vegetables to grow now, and he would be able to finish this little work soon.
Tong Chuxue saw his puzzlement, "From tomorrow, after you take care of the vegetable field, you will dig a pit for me, and I will tell you tomorrow what the specific specifications are." ”
Digging a pit?
Xie Daniu was completely confused, what kind of work is this.
