Chapter Thirty-Seven: Private
The bustling crowd was a group of farmers who had just returned from the fields, still holding farm tools that had just been brought from the fields.
The women followed their men with baskets on their shoulders and bit their ears.
What's more, they gossip in groups of twos and twos.
Zhang Qiuju followed the crowd at the end, and a pair of gloomy eyes reflected a cold cold light.
The village chief listened to the chaotic footsteps outside, mixed with the noise of the crowd, and turned his head to leave the village chief's wife with a cold look.
The village chief's wife is very afraid of her own man, don't look at the usual smile and amiability, but in private she is as fine as a monkey, and being ruthless is not something that ordinary people can think of.
got a knife from the village chief, shrunk his neck, and muttered, "I didn't say it again." ”
"Village chief, now that the big guys are here, let's let everyone comment."
Wang Chunhua knew that the village chief wanted to deal with this matter privately, and for the sake of Qin Mo's reputation as the only talent in the village, the village chief would not talk about this matter at will.
"Village chief, our Qin Chuan has grown up with your own eyes, and with my son's literary talent, it is a matter of minutes to take a show."
"What a shame it would be to ruin your reputation by this, don't you say?"
The village chief sneered, just Qin Chuan's half-hanging, the results were all smashed with money, one bottle was dissatisfied, and half a bottle was swaying, so Wang Chunhua thought that Qin Chuan was a good one.
Seeing that things were about to make a big fuss, there were more and more village names on the lookers, and the village chief frowned.
Even if Su Xiaoxiao is right about this matter, it will affect Qin Mo's reputation, there is only one talent in the village, and the revitalization of the whole village depends on him.
For a while, the village chief didn't know what to do, the master was standing next to him, he didn't think as much as the village chief, since he recognized Su Xiaoxiao as his granddaughter and his family was bullied, he could still sit idly by!
The master took the lead and said to the village chief: "Village chief, it just so happens that the big guy is here, just so that everyone can take a good look at this human-looking hypocrite, and he is still a little fair." ”
"Qin Mo is not here, I, as a gentleman, must seek justice for her!"
After saying it in one breath, I only felt that my throat was tight, I was hunched, and my cough was committed again, "cough, cough, cough"
The village chief only felt that his eyebrows were jumping suddenly, on one side was the future and reputation of the village, and on the other side was the persistence and resentment of the master.
The village chief's wife saw that her man was full of sadness one second ago, and the next second her eyes rolled and smiled, and she knew what idea this person had again.
The village chief quietly pulled the master aside with a smile and whispered: "Master, it's not that I don't want to give justice to this little child, but after all, it's not good for the woman's reputation to say this thing, even if it's for the sake of Xiaoxiao, this matter still has to be discussed in the long run!" Don't ruin her innocence! ”
The master bowed his head in a daze and pondered, this era is extremely harsh on women, the concept of male superiority and inferiority is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, women are men's accessories, just take today's events, even if the victim is a woman, people will put all the blame on the indiscretion of the red face and trouble, the spitting stars can drown people, and the man can say a few words at most about the merry boy.
Seeing that the master's attitude had eased somewhat, the village chief took the opportunity to see the stitches, "Besides, Qin Moke will have to take the township test next year, but don't affect Qin Xiucai's reputation anymore." ”
Qin Mo is the most favored student of the master, otherwise he would not have been teaching Qin Mo for free for so many years, and let him be a gentleman in the school.
The master is indeed a little shaken, but how Su Xiaoxiao has done his best to take care of him in the past few days, he has seen it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, to be honest, he does treat her as his own granddaughter these days.
On the one hand, he was seeking justice for his bullied granddaughter, and on the other hand, he was excluded from the world's eyes and the future of his beloved disciples, and for a while, the master was not easy to decide.
I saw the village chief clapping his hand, "Master, how about you do this, the little justice must be recovered, but we can't hurt the woman's reputation, it's better to ......"
Now, Xiaoxiao is unconscious, and it can only be like this, so the master nodded, glared at Qin Chuan angrily, and threw his sleeves out.
The smile was retracted for a moment, he turned around, walked up to Wang Chunhua with the seriousness and strength that belonged to the superior, and said condescendingly: "Who told you about Qinchuan!" If you tell the truth, it's not impossible for us to be private in this matter, otherwise, don't blame me for sending you and your son to court regardless of Daddy Qin's affection! ”
As soon as she heard that she was going to court, Wang Chunhua was immediately deflated when she was sure of it, and said tremblingly: "No one told me, no one told me!" ”
"Don't tell the truth yet!" The village chief's stern eyes widened again, "It seems that you have to go to the court to say it?" ”
When Qin Chuan heard that he was going to go to court, his whole face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly urged Wang Chunhua next to him: "Mother, hurry up and tell the truth, otherwise I will really be sent to court!" ”
Wang Chunhua also frowned, and said in a flattering tone: "Mother really didn't talk nonsense, I was just working in the field and heard someone say that they saw you coming this way, Qin Mo went to the next village and was not at home, I thought about it, it must be you who were seduced by the fox spirit again, so don't you just put down the work in your hand and rush over!" ”
"Village chief, no one really told me, I guessed it myself! It's true! ”
The village chief wisped his black beard, squinted at the two people underground, and saw that Wang Chunhua didn't seem to be lying, so he didn't think deeply.
"You also know the consequences of going out and letting the villagers know!"
"Know, know, thank you village chief, thank you village chief." Hearing the village chief say this, he knew that this matter was a story, and Wang Chunhua also breathed a sigh of relief.
Hurriedly untied the hemp rope in Qin Chuan's hand, looked at the face of the bell with the same head as the pig's head, as well as the strangulation marks of Nale's green and purple, and the distressed tears, and shouted "My hard-working son, my hard-working son".
The village chief took the wooden stick and knocked the ground twice, "That's enough!" ”
"This matter is private, your old Qin family took out five taels of silver to Xiaoxiao as an apology!"
"What, five taels!?"
Wang Chunhua almost dropped her jaw in shock, these five taels of silver are a year's savings in the family, how can it be said to be given to people, and Qin Chuan's reaction is much smaller, he plucked his ears and didn't care much.
Wang Chunhua was not happy to be the first one, "Why do you give so much money to that cheap embryo, it's not worth the money to sell her!" ”
"Besides, it was my son who she seduced, it's good if she didn't let her lose money, what about Su Xiaoxiao, what about Su Xiaoxiao, let her come out to see me, dare to talk to my lion, and don't look at the old lady is what she can provoke!"
"If you don't want to be private, then see you in court, let the county magistrate check it, there should always be a truth about what is going on!"
Where have the countrymen seen the county magistrate, they have heard it in the drawing book, and when it comes to going to the court, Qin Chuan can't sit still!
"If it's private, it's private"
Hearing Qin Chuan say this, Wang Chunhua only felt that her heart was dripping blood, it was a family that had saved for a year, and she was thinking about making a new dress for her son during the New Year, and the rest was saved to marry her daughter-in-law.
"Village chief, do you see three or two lines?" Wang Chunhua is really reluctant to have so much money.
The village chief's face darkened, and his eyes stood coldly, "You are still bargaining when I am a vegetable market!" ”
Qin Chuan pushed away Wang Chunhua, who was embarrassed in front of him, patted his chest and said, "Village chief, five taels is five taels, my family must be able to afford this little money if they have money." ”
turned around and glared angrily at Wang Chunhua, "You're still not my mother!" I don't want to pay five taels of silver, you really want to watch me go to jail! If I go to prison, I'll see who will give you a pension in the future! ”
I don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, the purchase of things in this house has never gone through Qin Chuan's hands, they are all ready-made and handed to him, and the days of rice and clothes are used to stretching out their hands, and there are any delicious and useful things at home that are used by him, Wang Chunhua and Daddy Qin both pick up the rest and eat.
Sometimes, the silver that Qin Mo sent to Qin's father was also subsidized, Qin Chuan went to the town to study, and the silver was never short of him, as long as he stretched out his hand, he would give money, and he never told him about the family's economic situation, Qin Chuan was used to spending a lot outside, and he didn't know what the concept of five taels of silver was at home now!
Since the last incident was over, he completely separated his family with Qin Mo, and took away the family's two acres of land, Qin Mo has not sent money to Qin's father again, and the family's income has shrunk by half all of a sudden, not to mention five taels of silver, it is good to earn enough for them to spend!
The village chief looked at Qin Chuan's wealthy attitude coldly, and snorted coldly, he really regarded himself as a rich young master!
Wang Chunhua reluctantly ran back to get the money, no matter how the people at the door asked, Wang Chunhua just kept silent, and she took great pains to deal with his son's reputation.
Qin Chuan was in the kitchen, leaning on the stove and staring at the village chief's wife.
The village chief then walked to the door with the golden silk cane that symbolized power, "Some trivial things, you guys come to join in the fun, all disperse, disperse!" ”
The village chief still has the right to speak in the village, and the village chief has spoken, and even if the village women are curious, they can't disobey the village chief's words.
It was even more impossible for those men to stay here, everyone had just come back from the field, and they were very tired, and they were all dragged over by a mother-in-law who was gossiping, and now they heard the village chief speak, and they all dispersed, and went home to rest and eat.
Only the crowd dispersed, Zhang Qiuju looked at the small room in the back room with a stiff face, her hands clenched, and her eyes reflected a calculating dark light.
