Chapter 62: Excuses
Tong Shuangxi and Qiusheng didn't talk a few words, and Li Zheng and the village chief led the crowd to the next house. Fortunately, Qiusheng also likes to watch the excitement, and he can't even care about the lunch that has just been made at home, so he follows the big guy to the next house.
"The next one is the Tong family."
In the crowd, one of the people who got the news said.
The words reached Tong Shuangxi's ears after a while.
"Xiaoxi, who is in your family going to serve in the military?"
Qiusheng and Tong Shuangxi walked together and said to her.
Tong Shuangxi didn't speak, but Qin Ergouzi, who was following the two of them, snorted coldly.
Qiusheng saw that Tong Shuangxi didn't speak, and didn't think much about it, and continued to follow the crowd towards Tong's house.
The door of Tong's house was closed, and soon someone rushed forward and knocked on the door.
It was Zhu, the daughter-in-law of the Tong family's big house, who came to open the door.
Li Zheng and the village chief couldn't say anything to the Zhu family, and after asking, they walked towards the house.
"It's all scattered, it's scattered, what's there to see, it's all full of food, it's okay to go home and lie down, what's the matter with crowding at other people's doors!"
Seeing a large circle of people outside the door, Zhu scolded and slammed the door shut, and the people outside the door were blocked out of the house.
Some women outside the door were not happy to be teased by the Zhu family, and they wanted to knock on the door to reason, but they were stopped by another woman: "The Tong family doesn't plan to let the children of the family serve in the military!" ”
"Yes, yes! I just don't know if it's a money or a sale! ”
The woman who spoke, in a distinctly playful tone.
"Maybe then, didn't their Xiaoxi sell it to the rich family as a concubine? That's not a trivial matter! ”
The person who spoke deliberately raised his voice, and the people outside the door also laughed knowingly.
"Phew! The Wei family has long been burned down, and the remaining orphans and widows of the Wei family are still living in the broken temple in our village! The Tong family is not going to send any girl to be a concubine! ”
The words of the people outside the door became more and more ugly, and the people inside the door were all embarrassed.
Especially Tong Laozhu, who has a black face, can make it rain.
Li Zheng and the village chief's faces were not good-looking.
If you want to talk about this Tong family, it is not the same treacherous family in the village, it is ...... It's just that it's a bit of a person to say when it comes to doing things, especially the two members of the Tong family, it's really ...... Take advantage of everything, and anyone can scold you...... There are not a few people who have offended over the years......
"That, Uncle Tong, which one did your family decide to do military service?"
Li Zheng didn't speak with a dark face, and the village chief could only ask first.
The village chief is a man about the same age as Tong Zhang's family.
Tong Zhang's family saw that his father drooped his eyes and did not speak, and said to the village chief with a smile on his face: "Don't hide it from the two, our family was smashed by wood while working on the mountainside a few days ago, and now it is still lying in the house, one shouts that his legs hurt, and the other shouts that his back hurts, and a doctor invited yesterday said...... I am afraid that these two children will be ...... in the future I'm afraid it's going to be scrapped ......."
As he spoke, the smile on Tong Zhangjia's face immediately turned into a bitter smile.
"My poor son, this is not even a matter of family, just ...... Only......! Zhu sat on the ground, slapping his legs and smashing the ground and crying.
The village chief and Li Zheng glanced at each other, and saw that they really didn't see Tong Shuangfu and Tong Shuangshou in this house, and they could be regarded as having a number in their hearts.
"What about the matter, we also understand, and we will definitely report it truthfully when the time comes, but we are just running errands, and the specific results still need to be thought of by your own Tong family."
The village chief didn't want to stay here and see the Zhu family crying there, so after saying this, he got up with Li Zheng and said goodbye.
The Tong family sent people out of the door.
As soon as the people left the house, the door of Tong's house immediately closed again, and the people outside the house did not disperse, but followed behind Li Zheng and the village chief with a coaxing sound.
When Tong Shuangxi was talking about the Tong family, he took the opportunity to slip behind the Tong family's house. She knew that there was a hole in the Tong family's chicken pen that could be drilled into the yard, so she also heard the words of the Tong family and the village chief clearly.
"Joy! Hello! What do you think? ”
Qin Ergouzi and Qiusheng were both guarding behind the Tong family's house and waiting for Tong Shuangxi to come out, only to see Tong Shuangxi get out of the chicken pen, and the two of them asked anxiously.
"It was said that Tong Shuangfu and Tong Shuangshou were injured and couldn't go to military service!"
Qin Ergouzi was concerned about whether the Tong family had done anything bad again, but Qiusheng was gossiping about the Tong family's military service.
"This family is really ......" Qin Ergouzi was so angry that he was almost speechless, when he used to play with Tong Shuangfu and Tong Shuangshou, Qin Ergouzi only felt that these two brothers were fierce and selfish, but he didn't expect that the father and mother who raised these two brothers were really black-hearted!
"No! I didn't hear from my family that anyone was injured on the mountainside! ”
After listening to Tong Shuangxi's words, Qiusheng felt strange.
It's just that, after thinking about it for a while, Qiusheng suddenly understood something, and said with a smile: "No wonder! Shuangfu and Shuangshou are definitely not injured, your family is unwilling to let the two of them serve in the military, so they found such an excuse! ”
Since it is an errand, it cannot be directly refused, so if the people in this village do not want their children to serve in the military, they will find an excuse on the surface, such as the children in the family are sick, disabled or not old enough......
After all, I have to say an excuse, either selling people or giving money in private......
"Xiaoxi, when did your Tong family become so rich! My mother said, except for a few of you, your Wei family is all burned! ”
Qiusheng's first thought was that the Tong family planned to use the money to exempt from military service this time, after all, a family like the Tong family was far from the point of selling people.
"Shut up!"
Qin Ergouzi was already angry in his heart, and when he saw this Qiusheng talking non-stop here, he couldn't help but shout.
The children of Liuli Village all know that Qin Ergouzi is powerful, and Qiusheng is no exception, seeing that this Qin Ergouzi suddenly became angry, Qiusheng hurriedly shut up.
"He doesn't know what's going on, it's useless for you to get angry at him!"
Tong Shuangxi saw Qiusheng's innocent appearance, so he could only speak for him.
Qin Ergouzi knew in his heart that he was angry with others, but he was never the one who apologized, so he only said: "I'll go back first!" ”
Then he turned around and went home.
Looking at Qin Ergouzi's figure, Tong Shuangxi silently envied for a while, after all, he was a young man, and he could be willful regardless of it.
Thinking that there were so many things that she needed to solve next, Tong Shuangxi couldn't allow herself to have a trace of slackness and indulgence.
"Xiaoxi, Qin Ergouzi...... What the hell is going on with him, I heard my mother say, Qin Ergouzi is now cooking with you, I don't believe it, just Qin Ergouzi, that temper...... How can it be......
"But, Xiaoxi, why didn't you live with the people of the Wei family?
"What happened to the Wei family? I heard that the things of the Wei family were burned down, and said that the fire was only burned because of the old woman of the Wei family, so the Wei family drove the old woman Wei and the second young master of Wei out of the Wei family, and the shops of the Wei family, Tian, were all taken back by the Wei family...... Are any of these true? ”
