Chapter 141: Adaptation
Tang Zhi'an didn't stop because the man stopped, he continued to beat with a stick while speaking: "It's really bold, our Xinglin Village has always hated thieves the most, you still dare to do this kind of thing, it's really shameless!" “
The man was beaten by him and shouted, after Lin Qiu'er came out, she saw that he had already controlled the person, her eyes rolled around, she walked to her door, and shouted loudly, "Someone!" Caught the thief, someone! ”
At this time, it was really the middle of the night, everyone was asleep, and the whole Xinglin Village was very quiet, and her shouting was like an alarm, and the people in the village were shouted at once.
The people who were farther away hadn't heard it yet, but the few families that were close to it had heard it, and they came over quickly, and Ye Lan and Daniel Zhang were the first to arrive, "Qiu'er, what's the matter?" A burglar in the house? ”
Lin Qiu'er nodded, "That's right, we've already caught it, right in the courtyard, Ah Zhi is controlling him." ”
Hearing this, Ye Lan's willow eyebrows rose, "Let's go, let's go and see, who is so bold that he dares to come to our Xinglin Village to steal things, I really don't want to live." ”
Daniel Zhang didn't say a word, and had already gone into the courtyard to tie up the thief with a rope with Tang Zhi'an.
Soon the others also came, and when the village chief arrived, he looked at them and said, "Zhi'an, what's the matter?" Are there thieves? ”
Tang Zhian nodded, "Yes, the village chief, but we have already caught him, I believe that the thief also knows that he can't escape." “
The village chief's face sank, "Okay, come with me, I don't believe that the little thief can run away today, no matter who he is, I have to punish him today." ”
Everyone who came with them should have been, and when everyone went in, they saw a man tied up and lying in the courtyard.
The village chief came to the man, "Who the hell are you?" You dare to come to our Xinglin Village to steal something, you are really bold, aren't you afraid that we will send you to the county office? ”
The man shrank vigorously, just now he didn't beat Tang Zhi'an, and now he couldn't speak at all because of the pain, his eyes lit up when he saw the village chief coming, but when he saw so many people behind him, he was so frightened that he quickly hid his cheeks.
Seeing him like this, the village chief suspected that he was from the village, "Who are you?" What is afraid that we will recognize you? ”
The man remained silent, and at last the village chief lost his patience and said to the villagers, "Bring me the torch and I will see who he is." ”
Daniel Zhang took the torch to the man, and everyone stared closely, but the man hid his cheek, just not for the villagers.
Tang Zhian and Lin Xiaoshan stepped forward and grabbed his arm, Daniel Zhang approached with a torch, everyone stared closely, and when they saw the man's face clearly, everyone was surprised.
"How could it be him?"
Lin Qiu'er looked at the people on the ground meaningfully.
And Tang Zhian was a little surprised, "Big brother, why are you, what the hell is going on?" ”
That's right, the person on this ground is actually Tang Zhichang, this is the only talent in their Xinglin Village, and he is the teacher of the academy in the town.
The village chief's face also darkened, "Tang Zhichang, what are you here for?" Come to someone else's house in the middle of the night, do you know it like a thief? ”
Tang Zhichang's whole body hurt to death, Tang Zhian beat him a few times before, but he was not soft at all, he had never done heavy work as a teacher, and he had no ability to fight back at all when he was beaten.
Now he was caught red-handed by so many people, this is really going to be bad, if the people in the village treat him as a thief, his reputation will be over, how will he gain a foothold in the academy in the future?
Thinking of this, Tang Zhichang couldn't care about anything else, and quickly stood up and said: "Village chief, you misunderstood, I didn't come to be a thief, I came to find the third brother, but who knew that this was a misunderstanding, and I was treated as a thief all of a sudden." ”
He thought that his words should be able to dispel the attention of others, but who knew that no one in the village believed it at all, and he still looked very disdainful when he looked at his expression.
Tang Zhichang was anxious, so he hurriedly explained, "Third brother, what I said is true, I did come to find you, but who knows that you actually treat me as a thief, it really makes the eldest brother sad!" ”
Tang Zhian looked at him and said, "Big brother, you came to our house to look for me in the middle of the night?" Do you believe this yourself? And we didn't get up, big brother, how did you get in? ”
"Third child, what do you mean by that? You mean I'm really here to be a thief, don't forget, I'm the gentleman of town, would I do such a thing? Tang Zhichang said angrily.
Lin Qiu'er looked at him, "Then what do you say about looking for our house in the middle of the night?" ”
Tang Zhichang's eyes widened, and then he said: "Third child, it's my father who is sick, I will definitely come to you in the middle of the night!" Dad is also your father, you are his son, even if there is something wrong with him, you have to go over now! ”
The people of the Tang family were stunned when they heard Tang Zhichang's words not far away, and then Tang Zheng quickly turned around and went back, Xu looked at the others and said: "Your father is sick, hurry up and call the third child over, your father can't help but give money for medical treatment." ”
Xu's words were for Feng and Tang Zhi to listen to first, and the Song family would be to the boss without asking, but if they didn't give some benefits, the second family might not follow the boss's words, so this silver was a benefit to the old family.
Sure enough, when Feng and Tang Zhi heard Xu's words first, they immediately understood, "That's right, this big brother came to call the third brother, they actually treated people as thieves, this is really too much, we have to make them pay money." ”
The family hurried towards this direction.
And here, after Tang Zhichang found a reason for himself, he changed all of a sudden, and the whole person was no longer so flustered, and began to accuse Tang Zhian, "Third child, although my father was not good to you before, but when he was sick, you should always go as a son, right?" “
Tang Zhian frowned, "If you are here for this matter, why don't you call someone at the door of our house, but sneak in yourself?" ”
"Third child, what are you talking about, what do you mean by sneaking in, this is your house, I am your brother, do you still want to say hello in advance when I come to your house? We're a family! Tang Zhichang said dissatisfied.
Tang Zhian was about to say something when he heard Xu's voice behind him.
"Third child, you are really unreasonable, your eldest brother is kind enough to call you, you still treat him like this, do you know how serious your father's illness is? It's not because your daughter-in-law was crazy this afternoon and kicked us out with a broom. ”
Lin Qiu'er frowned, this person is really shameless, "Why did I kick you out, do you dare to say?" I've already said that this holy decree is for the village, but you have to put it in the Tang family, don't you? ”
Tang Zhian looked at Xu and said, "Mother, what's going on with my father's illness?" My daughter-in-law didn't meet her father this afternoon, and his illness must have nothing to do with my daughter-in-law. ”
"You conscienceless." Xu pointed at Tang Zhi'an, "Your father has become like this, and you still only have your daughter-in-law in your heart, right?" You don't care about your father? ”
Tang Zhian smiled helplessly, "Mother, you have been staring at your daughter-in-law since you came, saying that my daughter-in-law is wrong, let us talk?" How do we care about my father? “
Xu Shi looked at him and said, "Do you still have your father in your heart?" You're watching today's events yourself, but what? Have you ever stopped your daughter-in-law? ”
Lin Qiu'er smiled and said, "Why stop it?" Are you doing the right thing? The holy decree has already been said to be given to the village, you just have to ask for it, if I don't drive you out with a big broom, you can probably rob our family's holy decree, right? ”
Before Xu wanted to say anything, the village chief spoke, "Okay, this holy decree is what I want to come with a cheeky face, saying that it will be placed in the ancestral hall of the village, are you very reluctant to be dissatisfied with my words?" ”
Lin Qiu'er looked at him and said: "Village Chief, this is not for you to come, it is for me and Ah Zhi to be willing to put it in the village, we have already said that I am a part of Xinglin Village, and it is naturally more appropriate for such a glorious thing as this holy decree to be placed in the village." ”
Tang Zhian also hurriedly spoke, "My daughter-in-law is right. ”
Xu Shi saw that there was no room for turning back when he saw this holy decree, so he stopped talking, looked at Tang Zhi'an and said, "What about your father?" You don't care about him anymore? He can't get up when he's sick now, so you don't care about being a son at all? ”
Tang Zhian looked at her and said: "Mother, my father is not only my son, no one cared about me when I was sick before, and I will admit this, who let me be born to you?" My dad and I'm sure I'll take care of it. ”
Xu's eyes lit up when he heard her words, "Then hurry up and give the money!" ”
Tang Zhian looked at her suspiciously.
Xu then spoke, "Your father is sick, can't you ask a doctor to see a doctor?" It costs money, and you have to drink medicine and eat some good things to make up for it, doesn't it? These are all things that require money, so what if you don't give money? ”
Tang Zhian looked at Xu and said, "Dad is not my father alone!" And I give you five taels of silver every month, which is unprecedented in the village, and you still want me to pay for it? ”
Xu waited for his eyes, looked at him angrily and said, "That's your father, now he is very sick, but you are here to worry about whether you want to pay, are you still human?" ”
Tang Zhian looked at her and said, "Mother, what you said is really good and unreasonable, I just said that the money I gave before was enough for my father's medical treatment." ”
Xu waved his hand, "Then I don't care!" ”
Lin Qiu'er stepped forward and looked at Xu Shi and said, "Okay, you go back first!" After dawn, we went to the town to get a doctor for my father. ”
"No need!" Xu immediately denied her words, "You are so busy, it is better to give us the silver, and we can go to see the doctor." ”
Lin Qiu'er sneered, "Mother, look at you, you said that we don't care if my father is sick, but you don't let us ask for a doctor now, so what do you want us to do?" ”
