Chapter 248: One More Choice
Seeing this, Brother Bao hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the star fruit and said, "Peach, peach, don't go, we know it's wrong." ”
Yang Junqing also said: "Peach, you see that we don't need to drive the village chief to come here for this little family matter, aren't we here today to admit our mistakes?" ”
Peaches looked back at Yang Tian and said, "Grandma is here, but first she was tempted, and then she said that she came to take it, second uncle, you said that this day is not there, and it is okay to come and take it at night, it is the middle of the night, if this is called taking, then the thief stealing things is not called breaking the law." ”
"What are you talking about, Peach, how do you say that he is also your second uncle, I am your grandmother, what's wrong with taking a few sweet potatoes from you, you have harvested a big year, shouldn't you be filial to your elders?"
When the star fruit heard this, she looked at her still arrogant and domineering, and felt uncomfortable, everyone else is happy and harmonious, and the future generations will be happy, but how can it change its taste when it comes to her own home.
If they were good to their father and Meizi, they would never treat each other like this, but they have not loved themselves since they were children, and how can they tolerate their mistakes with family affection.
"Grandma is afraid that I have forgotten, we have already separated, just last time when my father helped you and helped the second uncle to bear a debt of five hundred taels, we have already said that it will be irrelevant in the future, and now my family has sweet potatoes is not fake, and it can also be sold for money, but you seem to have forgotten that this is the product of a cooperation project between the Yin family and the Lu family, the county master, and it is not only owned by my family, so I can't be the master of this matter, and I still have to report to the official."
Yang Tian's eyes were stunned for a moment, and he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the star fruit and said: "Peach, grandma knows that you have the ability, and it is all blamed for not asking about the old and selling the old, you see that we are all a family, so don't worry about your second uncle and them." ”
Yang Junqing also echoed and said: "Big brother, I was wrong, you also know, since I was deceived in the town's business, I have been nesting at home, afraid of ridicule, afraid of people asking, and I don't have any extra money to squander, just thinking that there are so many sweet potatoes in your yard, the child is greedy, so I took him to get a few to try it." ”
Star fruit saw it, the second uncle actually came here to play the emotional card, I am afraid that the second aunt taught it at home, knowing that he is not good at talking, so he changed the object to start with his father.
If Yang Junshan had been placed in the past, he would definitely have been moved, and he would have listened to his mother's words as soon as his heart was soft, but when the star fruit hesitated, he said: "Mother, second brother, even if the family has no money, you can't do this unseemly deed, I will not blame it in the past, but this is not just our family's thing, so I can't be the master, listen to what Taozi says!" ”
"Boss, you are too arrogant to indulge the child, you are still not the head of the family, you don't count such a trivial matter, you are really a wreck." Yang Tian continued to speak ill of his boss.
Yang Junshan was a little angry when he heard his mother belittle him like this, this was the first time he retorted like this, "Mother, have you given me the right to speak since I was a child?" I can't afford to be a family since I was a child, after I got married, you are still in charge, and now that the second brother has an accident, you want me to be in charge, what is your reason. ”
"You...... You dare to fight back. ”
"Grandma, is your speech a holy decree or something, my father must listen to you, now this is the home of our father and daughter, if you want to solve it peacefully, there is no way, it depends on how you choose?"
Yang Tian's eyes lit up when he heard this: "What do you mean, Peaches want to solve it privately, don't you?" ”
Yang Junqing and Brother Bao also pricked up their ears to listen, after all, this time is different from the past, Peach is no longer the person who can not fight back when she is beaten and scolded, now she knows the powerful Lu family in the town, and the son of the county master's family, so she is at the two of them, and now Peach can't afford to offend.
Carambola originally just wanted to send the official to the office, but she knew that her father was talking cruelly, and he was the saddest and sadder if she really wanted to move seriously.
She stood up and thought for a while, "The first, easiest and most direct way is to report to the official. ”
Yang Tian's face immediately froze when he was overjoyed, and his eyes were full of anger and said, "You are playing us, what is the difference between this and not saying." ”
"Grandma, don't worry, there are one and there are two, you are listening."
Yang Tian didn't answer, Brother Bao was anxious, and shouted: "Milk, don't intervene, peaches won't harm us, don't interrupt and listen." ”
Star fruit listened, looked at Brother Bao, his timid appearance, staring at himself, for fear that he would have no choice, in fact, thinking about this child is not bad, it is just gluttonous.
"Second, yesterday the second uncle and Brother Bao came with a basket, each of them took nearly fifty catties of sweet potatoes, I don't care about them, just calculate according to the market price of ten cents a catty, the value should be one or two silver, but their behavior is theft, so they have to double the market price, take the things, and the milk and the second uncle can also leave after paying two taels of silver, and my father and I will not be held accountable."
When Yang Tian heard this, his voice immediately raised by one decibel and said, "What? Two taels of silver, are you robbing? ”
"You say I'm robbing? Now it's the second uncle and Brother Bao who steal, and if they steal something and don't report it to the official, they want to be private, that is, they will be punished twice the original market price, Daddy, right. ”
Yang Junshan listened, and now his heart has slowly relieved, and he is no longer swayed by the world, nodding slightly and saying, "Yes, there was this rule in the village before. ”
"Fart, just these few lumps of dirt are worth so much money, you have nothing to sit on the ground and start the price? No, report to the official. ”
"Milk, didn't you say that this sweet potato is worth a lot of money, and you can resell it a little when you take it home, why don't you care about us now, the official will go to jail, are you willing to give up your son and eldest grandson?"
Brother Bao was a little scared, and he was cowardly at home to pack one, and now the timid one almost knelt and kowtowed to confess.
Star fruit listened to his words, if it was before, the old lady would definitely break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, but now there is no income from my father's hunting, and there is still a large family's mouth, after paying off the debt, if it is not in time for the current autumn harvest, it is estimated that it will not be able to open the pot.
Yang Junqing was also a little embarrassed, after all, the status quo at home was ruined by himself, and he was a little guilty, so he said: "Peach, you know what happened before, so I'm afraid this money is ...... Is there an alternative? ”
Star fruit looked back at her father, seeing that he didn't speak, in fact, she also knew in her heart, her grandmother's good land was actually next to her family, and she could also see that although this year was a bumper year, but after removing the field endowment and rations, there was basically no money left, and if you wanted to drive the whole village to get rich, you can't have selfishness.
Thinking of this, he said: "Second uncle, there is another choice, that is, next year you will plant all the land with sweet potatoes, grandma plus the second uncle and uncle's fertile land is almost eight acres, as long as they are all planted with sweet potatoes, I will not pursue this matter today." ”
