Chapter Seventy-Six: The Elder Comes to the Door
Zhao Shouxin, who was about to go back to take a nap, heard the movement and hurriedly ran over. "Yo, it's so lively! It's the old Zhang family, right? I'm here today to make decisions for our little moon! ”
After speaking, Zhao Shouxin sat next to Shutong, looking at the master's style.
The elders of the clan were all sixty or seventy years old, and no one said anything.
Li Zheng Zhang Dewen is considered a junior here, coughed, stood up and said, "Xiaoyue, we are indeed here today to give you an explanation. ”
Shu Tong smiled, "Uncle Lizheng is fair, I believe." ”
Zhang Dewen smiled bitterly, "Xiaoyue, although your uncle should not sell you, but this is a family bloodline with bones and tendons, do you think this matter ......?" ”
Shutong lowered his head and drank tea, but he didn't hear it.
Zhao Shouxin couldn't sit still anymore and shouted, "What do you mean?" Could it be that my little moon is guilty, do you want to cover it up? ”
"No, no, no!"
Zhang Dewen waved his hand again and again, and said with a righteous face: "Zhang Dehai is too vicious, the clan will not spare him, but after all, it is not a nice thing, the meaning of the clan, the punishment of him should not be made public!" ”
Shu Tong smiled indifferently: "I don't know how the clan plans to punish him?" ”
Zhang Dewen is really hard to say, it stands to reason that Zhang Dehai will indeed be punished for doing such a thing.
However, he is a scholar anyway, and now he is a child, and he has the opportunity to show off his talents, which can be regarded as winning glory for the clan, and he can't be expelled from the family.
Besides, he was punished for harming others, and his leg was broken by Satsuki, what else could he do.
Although he is an uncle, it is against humanity to sell his niece whose parents died, it is not illegal, this matter is really difficult to do, and it is also a loss for the Zhang family to really expel him out.
sighed: "Satsuki! Although our family surnamed Zhang is a big family in Mochizuki Village, there are two talents in total, Zhang Dehai is a good student, and he has a good chance to show talents, he is not very old, and there is hope for further progress in the future! ”
Speaking of this, he said a little helplessly: "If your uncle is expelled out, our surname Zhang will be pressed by others!" ”
"I know what you mean! Let's talk about what the clan plans to do first! ”
Zhang Dewen, who was looking at it expressionlessly, trembled in his heart, he hurriedly restrained his emotions, and said in his heart that he was afraid of a girl who was less than ten years old? It must be an illusion.
took a breath and said: "Zhang Dehai treated his niece harshly, punished him for kneeling in the ancestral hall, and then asked him to write a letter of repentance, promising that he would never target Xiaoyue again in the future." ”
"That's it?"
Zhao Shouxin was weird, "This is too cheap, if I want to say that I must let him know that it hurts, and the province will beat my niece in the future!" ”
Zhang Dewen smiled, "I don't know what the in-laws mean!" ”
Zhao Shouxin said with a stiff neck: "Lose money!" Let him lose money, we Xiaoyue can't suffer in vain! ”
Zhang Dewen's heart was relieved, this is a good idea. smiled: "I don't know how much to pay?" ”
Shu Tong pursed his lips and didn't speak, Zhao Shouxin had already taken a big bag and said, "One hundred taels!" No! One thousand taels! ”
The clan elders have changed color, one hundred taels has exceeded their expectations, and one thousand taels is blackmail!
Although it is not right for Zhang Dehai to sell his niece, Zhang Xiaoyue's parents are dead, and this uncle can indeed make decisions for her.
There are many people selling their sons and daughters in this world, and it is not nice for an uncle to sell his niece, but it is not illegal.
Besides, the little moon girl is back with all beards and tails, and it seems that she is still developed. broke Zhang Dehai's leg again, why don't you still let it go!
The white-bearded old patriarch was the first to sit still, coughed twice and said, "Dehai deserves a lesson, but a thousand taels of silver is absolutely impossible." ”
He touched his beard and groaned, "Even if it's a hundred taels, it's too much, where did the Zhuang family get so much money?" All the belongings were sold, and there were not a hundred taels. ”
Zhao Shouxin also took out a thousand taels casually when he saw Shu Tong, and his appetite became bigger, otherwise one hundred taels would be a lot of money for him.
Pouted and snorted: "Then you mean that you don't even pay a hundred taels?" I think you're trying to shield him. ”
The old patriarch glanced at him and said, "This is a matter in our clan surnamed Zhang. Although you are Xiaoyue's own uncle, you can't control so much. ”
He paused for a moment and said: "Speaking of which, there are many people selling sons and daughters in this world, and it is not illegal to sell Xiaoyue in the sea." It's just that our clan can't look down on Xiaoyue, an orphan girl was bullied before she came forward to speak for her, and you, as an uncle, don't be too greedy. ”
Zhao Shouxin, who was blocked in a word, couldn't say anything, and it was not like this kind of thing had happened in their Zhaojiazhuang.
In some places, if the head of the family dies, even if a son stays, the property will be divided among the clansmen.
The remaining orphans and widows may also be secretly sold, but there is no one to stand up for them.
A face was blue for a while, white for a while, and he said in a half-loud voice, "In short, with my own uncle, I can't allow you to bully our family Xiaoyue." ”
Shu Tong also knew that this kind of thing in ancient times couldn't be broken, so he waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I remember that I was sold for ten taels of silver at that time." Just let their family take out ten taels! ”
Unexpectedly, Xiaoyue, the child was so reasonable, everyone looked at her and nodded secretly.
The white-bearded patriarch also smiled, nodded and said, "Xiaoyue, don't worry, I promise that they will send these ten taels of silver." ”
Zhang Dewen couldn't imagine that Zhang Xiaoyue was so easy to talk and thought of the purpose of this trip.
With a smile on his face, he said: "Xiaoyue, I heard that your housekeeper said that you are going to repair the grave for your father, you are really a good and filial child!" ”
Shutong lowered his head and pretended to be sad and said: "When my father and mother died, I dealt with the aftermath in a mess, and now I think about it and feel that I am too unfilial, but coincidentally, I now have some spare money in my hand, so I want to repair the grave for my father and mother and let them be buried!" ”
"Okay, your child has this filial piety, and your father and mother will be relieved if they know it." The Whitebeard patriarch shook his beard.
"Xiaoyue, don't worry, the clan has already discussed, choose another good place for your father and mother!" The other clan elders were also very pleased and couldn't stop nodding.
Li Han stepped forward and said, "Miss, the clan has found another piece of feng shui treasure land for the old lady!" ”
Shutong nodded, "Then thank you, by the way, there are also the graves of my brother and brother who also need to be repaired." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Zhang Xiaoyue's elder brother is still underage, and his younger brother died just three days after he was born.
Most of the children who died without starting a family were swept away by a bed of grass and buried indiscriminately in the ravine next to the ancestral grave.
Listening to her meaning, she actually wanted to bury the two of them in one place.
Li Han hesitated a little, "Miss, the two young masters both died young, and according to the rules, they can't enter the ancestral tomb." ”
Shu Tong didn't know this rule, but looking at what Li Han said solemnly, he shouldn't have lied to her.
