Chapter 37: Before Returning Home

"It will take a lot of manpower and material resources to clean up this place, and since today's incident is caused by me, all the costs should be borne by me, and there is no need to be polite." Zhan Hengyi's face was as soft as a spring breeze, but his tone could not be refused.

Li Zhengben couldn't figure out Zhan Hengyi's temperament, for fear that he would provoke him, so after a little thought, he took the silver ticket with both hands, "If you are so old, you will follow the orders of your son, but it will be disrespectful." ”

"That's how it should be." After Zhan Hengyi finished speaking, he immediately saluted Li Zheng again, and said: "The younger generation is young and shallow, and he doesn't understand the world, and he will have to rely on you in the future. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Childe is serious. In the future, if there is a place that can be used to decay, Childe can open his mouth. Li Zheng didn't dare to be self-reliant at all, the fate of Zhang Dahe and a dry ruffian was in front of him, how dare he pretend to be big in front of this young man.

Zhan Hengyi and Li Zheng finished politely, and then instructed Yang Laosi to arrange people to invite Lang Zhong to come to the workers for injury examination and treatment, and all the injured were paid during the period of recuperation, and each person was given two taels of silver as compensation.

There were a lot of injured workers, but they were not seriously injured, and when they heard that there were two taels of silver to give, they all said that the fight was worth it, and those who were not injured regretted that they did not rush ahead.

After arranging the aftermath, Zhan Hengyi boarded the car and left.

Yang Laosi instructed the uninjured workers to help the injured workers back to the construction site.

The onlookers had long since dispersed, and under the scorching sun, Zhang Dahe and the corpses of a dry ruffian were lying on the ground, and the air was full of disgusting blood.

Who would have thought that the ruffian bullies of Huangni Town, who were invincible a quarter of an hour ago, would all be violently corpsed on the streets in the blink of an eye, and their fear and despair were clearly displayed in their wide open eyes.

"Old ...... Master. A servant walked up to Li Zheng and asked tremblingly, "These...... What should the human body ...... How to dispose of it? ”

Li Zheng hated Zhang Dahe and the ruffians in a dry land, and when he heard the servant ask him, he looked at the corpse with a disgusted face and said, "Go and inform their family to take them back and bury them by themselves." ”

The servant was about to make arrangements, but a corpse on the ground suddenly got up.

"Fraud...... Corpse fraud! I don't know who cried out in horror.

When he shouted, the others screamed and hid away.

The "corpse" that got up was the ruffian who had been punched by Jinbao at the beginning, and he fainted to the ground because of fainting. When the army envoy and his subordinates arrived, he actually woke up, and because he was afraid, he kept lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, and those iron knights also thought he was dead, so they didn't attack him again, so he escaped by luck.

However, after this man got up, he saw a group of brothers and Zhang Dahe dead and blood all over the ground, his pupils shrank suddenly, he screamed and hugged his head, and ran away like crazy.

It took a long time for Li Zheng and the others present to wake up, and the man had long since disappeared.

On the other hand, the people on the way back to the construction site did not know that such an incident had happened at the scene again.

"Brother Jinbao, does your injury matter?" Pomegranate Hua and the workers went back to the construction site together, and on the way they asked about Jinbao's injuries.

Jin Bao moved his arm twice and said, "It's not in the way, it doesn't hurt the bones, just raise it for a few days." ”

Hearing Jinbao say this, Pomegranate Flower was also relieved.

The other workers also didn't care about their injuries, talking and laughing all the way, as if they were soldiers who had won a battle.

The pomegranate blossom was not happy, and her heart was sullen, as if something was blocked inside.

Back at the construction site, Yang Laosi arranged for the workers to rest, and those who could work continued to work, and the workers only went half, plus those who were not injured, the progress of the entire project would not be greatly affected.

Yang Laosi himself also hung up the lottery, and it was okay after Lang Zhong came to diagnose it.

Seeing that Yang Laosi was fine, Pomegranate Hua came to him and told him the doubts in his heart.

Yang Laosi expected that the pomegranate flower would ask this question sooner or later, and he didn't hide it at the moment, and directly told him, "Girl, it's not that the uncle wants to hide this from you, it's just that the owner ordered you to say that you are too soft-hearted, if you know that Zhang Dahe and others are going to be executed, you will definitely not agree, so I didn't discuss it with you in advance." ”

"What about the workers?" Pomegranate's voice was still a little cold, "Don't you care if they live or die?" Let them fight the vicious ruffians with their bare hands, and if one of them slips up, what will his family do? ”

Yang Laosi hesitated for a moment, scratched his head and said: "This is something beyond estimate, the owner did not expect that Jinbao would miss and kill people, leading to the escalation of the conflict, according to our previous prediction, the number of people on both sides is far apart, and the workers will suffer a little loss at most, and there will never be a danger to their lives." ”

His explanation could not make the unhappiness in Liuhua's heart dissipate, and he felt that Zhan Hengyi's behavior of being high above and treating the lives of workers as child's play could not be agreed.

Yang Laosi seemed to see through the mind of the pomegranate flower, sighed deeply, and persuaded: "Girl, uncle knows that you think the owner is more ruthless this time, but the owner also has his difficulties." There is an old saying that those who do big things are not informal, and the owner's move is also to make an example of the chickens. There are so many large and small oil mills in Huangni Town, if the owner does not take advantage of this matter to establish himself and want to do business in peace and stability in the future, it will be difficult to climb to the sky. Besides, those ruffians extort and extort all kinds of evil, the merchants in the town complained, they are innocent, and the owners are in addition to these scourges, and the villagers of the entire Huangni Town will be happy in the future, right? ”

After hearing this, the pomegranate flower neither nodded nor shook her head, her face was expressionless, and she turned around and went back to her shed.

After that, I just looked at the construction site in a daze.

Now, Liuhua has only one idea, that is, to complete the foundation project as soon as possible, and then go back to Taojia Village by herself, she doesn't want to have anything to do with unscrupulous people.

She didn't eat lunch either, because the morning scene was so bloody that it would be disgusting when she thought about it.

In the afternoon, the scholars arrived as promised.

The first thing the scholars taught was the "Hundred Family Names" in the three books of Mengxue, and the first word said their own family name: Tao.

Traditional and simplified, as long as it is not a particularly unpopular rare word, Pomegranate basically knows, so when the scholar only taught her the first ten words and was not ready to continue teaching, she disagreed.

Because it is said to be a hundred family names, in fact, there are hundreds of surnames, and only ten are taught a day, according to such a teaching method, she will not be able to finish teaching it when she returns to Taojia Village.

No, no, we have to speed up.

The scholar didn't believe that the pomegranate flower remembered it so quickly, and wanted to test her, so he pointed to the simplest of the ten words and asked her how to read it.

"Well, the king, the king of the old king next door." The pomegranate replied with a big grin.

Yes, yes, yes, but what is the allusion to this old king next door?

The scholar was puzzled, and asked with the most strokes.

"Money, money that can make ghosts grind." Pomegranate is full of confidence.

That's right, but why don't you say copper money, silver money, and the most complicated one?

The scholar gritted his teeth and continued to ask.

The results go without saying.

The scholar had to continue to teach, and after teaching thirty times, he refused to teach at all, and his attitude was very resolute, and the reason was also very good: he was greedy and chewed too much.

Pomegranate flowers also know each other and don't get entangled anymore, and she still understands the truth of accepting it when she sees it.

The scholar told the pomegranate to review well, and he would check today's homework before class tomorrow and go back to the academy.

The next day, the scholar still only taught thirty words, and refused to give any more.

This was true on the third day, and it was the same on the fourth day, and nothing changed every day after that.

Liuhua also began to understand that the scholar was a very principled person, and what he decided, no matter how soft and hard others were, would not change. After that, she simply didn't waste her lips and tongues, and she listened as much as the scholar was willing to teach.

In this way, when the 1000 family names were taught in the thousand-character text, the foundation project was over.

Before returning to Taojia Village, Pomegranate Flower also had to make arrangements for the life of Qin Niangzi's mother and son.

Yang Laosi has some noodles in the town, and Pomegranate asked him to find a job washing dishes and vegetables for Qin Niangzi in the restaurant, with a monthly salary of 500 yuan, which is enough for the mother and son to solve the problem of food and clothing.

As for Chen Liangan, Pomegranate discussed with the old man of the Huichun Hall and asked him to be an apprentice, and after Qin Niangzi died, he would have the ability to live in peace.

Lao Langzhong also liked Chen Liangan very much and agreed, but the apprentice had no salary and was in charge of two meals a day.

Qin Niangzi's mother and son's future life has been settled, and Pomegranate can return to Taojia Village with confidence.

However, before leaving, it was inevitable to meet Zhan Hengyi.
