Chapter 22 The unlucky Shen Hai
As soon as the Shen patriarch said this, the elders of the Shen clan were silent, and even the villagers of the Shen clan were silent, after all, the Shen clan had such an ugly thing, which made their faces dull, not to mention that Shen Hai was still a talent.
This Shen Xiaomeng is nothing, so it is clear who to talk to.
Looking at the situation stabilized by himself, Patriarch Shen said to Shen Xiaomeng with hypocrisy
"Xiaomeng, although you have been wronged over the years, your son does not say anything about your father's fault, so this matter will end here!"
Looking at the Shen patriarch who was with the mud, Shen Xiaomeng sneered in her heart, but she also clearly knew that she couldn't change anything now, so she just wanted the people of the old Shen family not to come to harass her for the time being, Dao
"Patriarch Grandpa, Xiaomeng knows, but what should I do with my boy?"
At this time, there are still some things that need to be said, so Patriarch Shen assured
"In front of Li Zheng today, I promise here that the old Shen family will neither sell boys nor disturb your life in the future!"
That's what Shen Xiaomeng wanted, so she said very gently, "Since the patriarch grandfather said so, then Xiaomeng will believe you!" ”
Li just wanted to say a word or two of justice, but he knew that this was someone else's family matter, and Shen Xiaomeng would not be held accountable, and he, an outsider, would not be held accountable.
After Patriarch Shen Xiaomeng didn't pursue it, he looked at the people of the old Shen family and said heavily
"Old Shentou, you also heard what I said just now, you are not allowed to disturb Xiaomeng's life in the future, if you are coming to break the temple to make trouble, don't blame me, the patriarch, for being ruthless."
"Patriarch, what about this boy?" At this time, the old Shen Tou was still thinking about selling boys.
Looking at the old Shen Tou who couldn't figure it out, the Shen patriarch knocked on the crutches and scolded angrily, "Old, Shen, head!" Do you want me to exterminate your old Shen family? ”
Old man Shen was a little stubborn and half-threatened, "Patriarch, our family Hai'er may be promoted next year, do you still insist on this?" ”
Looking at the old man Shen who didn't know how to lift, Patriarch Shen sneered and said, "Old Shen Tou, although the old doctor Yu said that Shen Hai could be named on the gold list, but how many years have passed, has Shen Hai been in it?"
A Xiucai, he took more than ten years, this is more than a person, I don't know how many times more difficult than Xiucai, I see, the old doctor Yu back then looked down on Shen Hai's talent. ”
Hearing Patriarch Shen curse his son, Old Man Shen was unhappy, so he said angrily
"Patriarch, Hai'er can't get into Xiucai, that's because of bad luck!"
Patriarch Shen sneered again and said, "Sometimes there is no time to be talented, and that is also empty talk, so your old Shen family Shen Hai is an unlucky poor and sour talent." ”
Patriarch Shen is really right, Shen Hai is indeed an unlucky person, his talent is there, it is not a problem to take a test, the key is that when he was just about to end, the government ushered in a new prefect, the biggest hobby of the new prefect is to love money, this prefect stays, it is ten years, for Shen Hai, a small landlord, it is simply hopeless in scientific research.
Finally, the prefect's affairs were exposed, he was killed and his house was raided, Shen Hai was sick again, this illness was three years, just like that, in order to treat Shen Hai, the family's money was almost used up, and only more than 100 acres of fertile land were left at home, and Shen Xiaomeng was eleven years old.
I don't know which immortal Shen Hai offended, Shen Hai started the scientific examination when Shen Xiaomeng was eleven years old, whether he was a gift or a tuozi, he was named Sun Shan, so the family that was originally dragged down by him began to sell fertile land because of his scientific research and the study of several sons.
In the deep winter of when Shen Xiaomeng was fourteen years old, a person from a tooth shop suddenly found him and said that as long as Shen Xiaomeng's first sale was sold, he would not only give Shen Hai a hundred taels of silver, but also let Shen Hai be admitted to Xiucai next year.
In this way, Shen Hai sold Shen Xiaomeng for money and future, and Shen Hai, who thought that he would rise to prominence in the future, actually failed in the two township examinations after winning the show.
Because of this, Shen Hai, who originally had some talents, began to follow crooked ways, and in his heart, he had already begun to have distorted thoughts, he felt that he couldn't pass the exam because his family couldn't afford to pay money.
It stands to reason that Shen Hai, who has a reputation for showing talent, should be able to sit in the museum, but there are two masters in the village, so the private school in the village can't accommodate him, and the other villages have their own Xiucai to teach, and the town will not invite a teacher who is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, so Shen Hai, who has been studying since he was a child, has nothing else to do except study.
Looking at the old man Shen who still wanted to refute, Li Zheng suddenly looked at Patriarch Shen and said sharply
"Patriarch Shen, today I, the Li Zheng of Yunshan Village, will leave my words here, if the people of the old Shen family dare to disturb the lives of Xiaomeng's mother and son from now on, I will expel all of your Shen family from Yunshan Village."
Although it is difficult for a surname to be expelled from the village, if a person like the old Shen family is still protected by the patriarch of the Shen clan, Li can unite with other patriarchs to expel the Shen family, and even the government will stand on Lizheng's side.
Therefore, the people of the Shen clan, who had not spoken just now, all shouted towards the Shen clan chief
"Expelle the old Shen family and drive ...... out of Yunshan Village!"
Seeing that all the villagers of the Shen clan were shouting to get rid of their own family, Old Man Shen lowered his head to the Shen patriarch and said
"We promised not to disturb Xiaomeng's life in the future."
At this time, it was difficult for the old Shen family not to agree, after all, removing the clan is not the same as being driven out of the village, except for the clan, they can still keep the family property, but if they are driven out of the village, they can't take anything away, because all their family property is confiscated to the village.
Looking at the old Shen family who was not making trouble, Li Zheng said to the Shen patriarch
"Patriarch Shen, you just take someone and leave!"
Li Zheng, who left with people, did not let him leave with the people who watched the excitement, but let him watch the people of the old Shen family leave.
"Hey, good!" At this time, the Shen patriarch had no other way but to be good.
After the Shen patriarch and the villagers left, Li Zheng asked Liu Wei to help Shen Xiaomeng, who was kneeling on the ground, up
"Xiaomeng, something like this happened to you, why didn't you say it five years ago?"
Shen Xiaomeng stood up, sighed, and said helplessly
"Grandpa Lizheng, this son doesn't say anything about his father's faults, how can Xiaomeng trap his elders in injustice? If it weren't for the fact that Patriarch Shen was going to sell the boy today, how could I say it? ”
"Alas, pity you mother and son." Shen Xiaomeng's words were right, so Li Zheng could only sigh and shake his head.
Liu Wei also shook his head and sighed
"It's not, I thought that Xiaomeng was already in pain when she was rubbed by the people of the old Shen family, but I didn't expect that the people of the old Shen family actually reached the point where they didn't treat Xiaomeng as a human being."
