Chapter 53: The Storm (3)
Rui Xue didn't seem to see their surprise, walked up to Zhao Fengnian, and whispered comfortingly, "Don't be angry with a shrew, if you are sick, I will bother to take care of it." ”
Zhao Fengnian suddenly wanted to laugh for no reason, the corners of his mouth slowly curled, and his whole face improved, and he responded softly, "Okay, the wicked have their own wicked grinding." ”
Is this saying that I am a wicked person? Rui Xue raised her eyebrows and glared at him, but she also knew that now was not the time to flirt, so she instructed Kuroko and Da Zhuang, who looked relieved, to "Bring out the chairs and square tables in the room to entertain guests." ”
"Yes, Master." The two boys answered, and ran into the house, and soon, the red lacquered square wooden table and six chairs were placed in the courtyard, and Da Zhuang even carried out a new roll of straw mats in the east room, and tore them apart from the two of them, blocking the northwest side behind the table, covering most of the cold wind.
Rui Xue gave the two boys a look of approval with satisfaction, and then walked up to several clan elders and Li Zheng with strange faces, and said with a smile, "Elders, this matter is a bit big today, you also saw that our family was smashed into a bad place, and the children of the Zhao family also seemed to be injured. ”
Several clan elders and Li Zheng glanced at each other, one side was the rich family in the village, and the other side was the gentleman of Mengxue, there was really something that could not be resolved, and it was not good for the village, Rui Xue was so polite, and he respected their elders and asked them to be the masters, they were comfortable, so they all straightened their chests and nodded and sat down.
Zhao Fengnian paced over, sat down to accompany, Rui Xue took the teapot sent by Zhang's sister-in-law, added tea to the clan elders one by one, and then called the women standing under the window, "Bother a few sisters-in-law to invite Zhao's second sister-in-law over." ”
Several women hurriedly responded, pulled Zhao's second sister-in-law, who had just woken up a little, to the courtyard, put her three feet in front of the table, and hurriedly squeezed into the villagers.
Yun Sanye took a sip of hot tea, smashed the tea fragrance in his mouth, nodded slightly, and then looked at Zhao's second sister-in-law and asked, "Zhao Er's family, what is the matter with you, running to Mr.'s house to mess around like this, do you know what it means to respect the teacher, don't you want Qingshan to follow Mr. Zhao to study in the future?" ”
Rui Xue suddenly saw that her home was destroyed, she was furious, but her subordinates used all their strength, the strength of her body was originally greater than that of ordinary women, and a few slaps were slapped, but they could withstand dozens of beats from others, so Zhao Er's sister-in-law's face was already swollen at this time, and she could hear Yun Sanye's question, and then looked at Rui Xue standing at the table, and she completely sobered up, knowing that she couldn't take advantage of the fight, so she simply let it go.
clapped his hands on his thighs and cried, "Oh, there is no reason in this world, my son is going to be killed, and I am not allowed to be a mother." There is no heavenly reason, my hard-working son, if you are beaten to death, what will my mother do? ”
Everyone heard that she killed people one by one, and then looked at Qingshan's embarrassed appearance, they were all a little surprised, and wondered, could it be that Mr. Zhao beat the students like this, although the teacher is equal to the parents, and it is appropriate to punish the students, but it is indeed a bit serious to beat the child like this, but they looked at Zhao Fengnian, who was sitting behind the table, with an indifferent expression, and slowly drinking tea, and they all felt that such a beautiful man would not be involved with that vicious thing no matter how he looked at it, so they were a little wavering in their hearts.
At this time, someone next to him said, "Isn't there a saying called well-dressed beasts, what they look like on weekdays is shown to people, who knows what they look like behind their backs, those children don't know how to be abused and beaten in the school." ”
The person next to him is a family with children studying in the school, remembering that the children in the family have become sensible and polite since they read, and they are all admiring when they talk about Mr. on weekdays, and they definitely don't look like they are often abused, so they retorted, "I didn't know that Third Brother Wu was so knowledgeable, but Third Brother Wu's family didn't send their children to study, so I don't have to bother with it." ”
Wu Laosan was choked and glared, and said angrily, "Kindness should be the liver and lungs of a donkey." ”
Behind the two stood a short and fat man named Chen Siping, who was a well-known fun-loving person in the village, and when he heard the two of them arguing, he remembered the rumors a few days ago, so he slyly looked at him and said, "Third Brother Wu, the money in the family is all bought for dumplings to eat, how can there be extra for children to study." ”
Everyone around laughed, Wu Laosan blushed with anger, and wanted to say a few more words, but was interrupted by Li Zhengqing's cough, "The elders are deliberating, and they all abide by some rules." ”
Li Zheng is about forty years old, six brothers, all live in the village, he is the eldest, the family is prosperous, and he does things fairly on weekdays, so he has great prestige in the village, and everyone is silent when they hear him.
Yun Sanye was a little headache from Zhao's second sister-in-law's crying, frowned slightly, but still turned his head to look at Zhao Fengnian, and asked, "Mr. Zhao, is this kid Qingshan messing around in the school?" ”
"No, even if it's nonsense, I'll only punish it with a ruler."
After all, no one is willing to let the child be beaten like this, and it doesn't matter if the ruler is swollen, but the palm of the hand is swollen for two days, which not only allows the child to be punished, but it is not much harm to the body, and it is really the ideal 'torture tool' in the minds of many parents.
Zhao's second sister-in-law was crying while aiming at the clan elders with her eyes, seeing that their faces became gentle, for fear that they would be bought by Ruixue and his wife, she shouted loudly, "It was you who instructed the little servants in the family to beat my son like this, if my son has a bad day, I will crash to death in front of the gate of your house." My son, your father is not at home, our mother and son are going to be beaten to death..."Saying that, she hugged Qingshan and cried again, Zhao Qingshan's head was covered with some skin injuries, the blood stains were a little coagulated, and he was pulled by his mother's mother, and blood oozed, so painful that he also opened his throat and cried, for a while, the crying in the yard shook the sky, and everyone looked pitiful, so they parted their hearts to their mother and son, after all, the blood on Zhao Qingshan's head was not fake.
Li Zheng frowned, slapped the table, interrupted their mother and son, and asked, "You said that Mr. Zhao instructed his own little guy to hurt your family's Qingshan, but what evidence do you have?" He is a gentleman, if he wants to punish a student, what excuse is there, how can he use such a subordinate method? ”
Zhao's second sister-in-law was stunned, she was jealous that Rui Xue beat her just now, and she wanted to pull them in as husband and wife, but she really didn't think of any excuse.
At this time, when asked how many times her eyes rolled, she finally remembered something, "He was jealous of the two of us, so he took his anger out on Qingshan's head." At the beginning, Mrs. Zhao came to my second child to push the work of other families, to give her a pankang, my second child has two jobs have been paid, so I discussed with her whether it can be postponed to two days later, but she scolded us for being ungrateful, turned around and taught the method of pankang to others, why didn't she think about it, it was me who sent food and water every day to save her..."
Sister-in-law Zhang was originally standing not far behind Rui Xue with Zhang Dahe, and she heard that Second Sister-in-law Zhao was so upside down, and before Rui Xue could speak, she jumped up angrily, "Qingshan Niang, you are all living with your head above the sky and your feet on the ground, you have to talk about your conscience when you speak, you still have two sons, and you are not afraid of retribution."
At the beginning, Mrs. Zhao taught your Zhao Lao Er Pan Kang, in order for you to make some money, and I didn't reveal half a word to others. Mr. Zhao was afraid of the cold, dyed with the wind cold, Zhao Niangzi stayed up all night, scared to work, the next day ran to your house, paid for Zhao Lao Er to lay a kang for the plate, as a result, you husband and wife these two ungrateful things, a rod to support half a month later, it is obvious that it is embarrassing for others, where do you remember that your family Qingshan wants to call people a 'master', you know a fart respect for the teacher. The method of that pan kang was taught by others, and you refused to even do a favor, and your conscience was really eaten by dogs.
Besides, what life-saving grace? Don't put gold on your face, the elders entrusted the two of us to take care of Mr. Zhao and his wife, before and after half a month, you have sent three rice, one is cereal porridge, one is brown rice, one is pickle gnocchi, everyone listen, is this something for the sick to eat, you are still the most prosperous in the village, only thirty or forty hens, not to mention a bowl of chicken soup, not even a single egg has been willing to be delivered, Mr. Zhao was still asleep at that time, how do you let him gnaw pickle gnocchi, you are not afraid of thunder and thunder.
After Mrs. Zhao woke up, she was so poor that she couldn't eat, and you didn't want to be restrained, and you said bad things about people behind your back, but people gave you a thank you gift, and you were cheeky to accept it, you lack virtue..."
Rui Xue heard what Sister-in-law Zhang said almost, and waved her hand at the right time to interrupt her, and persuaded, "Sister-in-law, don't talk about it, it's all in the past, let's make the things in front of us clear first, although my husband and I don't want to make trouble, but people live with a face, trees live with a skin, it is a matter of Mr. Qing's reputation, and no one can be allowed to slander at will." ”
Several clan elders and Li Zheng all had a bad face, but Zhao Er's sister-in-law agreed to take care of Zhao Fengnian and his wife in front of them, they felt that her family Qingshan was also a Mengtong, she would do her best, but she didn't expect her to have a good reputation, but she was so stingy behind her back, she was really a wicked woman, so the little sympathy for their mother and son just now immediately turned into nothing.
Li Zheng knocked on the table and said, "Zhao Lao'er's family, who beat your Qingshan, to tell the truth, if you climb Mr. Zhao again, it will hinder Mr. Zhao's reputation, don't blame the villagers for driving your family out of the village." ”
Rui Xue raised her eyebrows, knowing that Li Zheng was angered by Zhao's second sister-in-law's mad dog-like bite, because leaving the village is a very heavy punishment, don't look at the underdevelopment of communication in this time and space, but the rumors are extremely fast. If Zhao Lao'er's family is kicked out today, within tomorrow, the village within a radius of 100 miles will hear about it, and they will definitely not accept them, no matter what the reason. Because this is the rule that each village maintains its authority with each other, when Rui Xue first heard Sister-in-law Zhang talk about it, she also felt that the power of the clan was strong, but she didn't expect to hear it with her own ears today.
