49. Protection
Su Qi looked at the woman who made the sound, and her eyes fell on Qiao Yan Tang beside her.
With his head down and motionless, he looks particularly special in the crowd watching the excitement.
Qu Qianli pointed at Qiao Yantang: "He went out twice last night." ”
"Are you sure?"
The patriarch's questioning opened Qu Qianli's chatterbox: "Yes, I ate late yesterday, and he hurriedly threw down the dishes and chopsticks after eating." I thought she wasn't going to wash the dishes, so I scolded twice. If it was normal, I would definitely come back to do things obediently. As a result, I didn't come back last night, like I was thinking about something outside. Now it seems that he is in a hurry to go out and find someone to trouble, for fear of missing the opportunity. ”
"Later, after a while, the people came back, and by that time our family was already asleep. He was stunned, and he was washing dishes in the courtyard alone. Later, I listened to the sound in the courtyard and stopped, and I thought he was sleeping, but I didn't expect that after a while, I got up at night and happened to see him come back. I asked him where he had been for a long time, but he didn't say a word. ”
The patriarch only said that Xia Yulu and Wang Hongying were beaten last night, but he did not say that the two were beaten at different times.
And Qu Qianli said this, but it happened to be in line with this matter.
The patriarch asked Qiao Yan Tang: "Yan Tang, what do you have to say." ”
Qiao Yantang raised his head, but there was an unusually indifference in his eyes: "I did it, they deserve it." ”
"Why?"
Since Qiao Yan Tangniang's death, Qiao Yan Tang and the people in the village have almost no contact, Xia Yulu and Wang Hongying are even more unlikely to have an intersection with him, and everyone can't understand the reason why Qiao Yan Tang did this.
"Look at them unpleasantly", Qiao Yantang casually made an excuse, but no one believed him.
The patriarch didn't believe it either, but he could also see that Qiao Yantang was not a master who could tell the truth easily.
"Okay, the people have found out, Qiao Yantang stayed, and the others dispersed first."
This time, the patriarch's words didn't work so well.
"There's no explanation yet, why did you let us go?"
"That's it, this time he saw Xia Zhiqing and Wang Hongying unpleasantly, so he beat the two of them, and next time he didn't like us, he couldn't beat us?"
"I've long seen that this kid is not a good person."
"Alas! Who let the mother leave early, no one in the family taught him well, and ruined a good child. ”
When Qu Qianli heard this, her face was wrong, her eyes squeezed, and tears fell: "Oops! Tell me about you, how can you do such a thing. Listen, what the people around us say is that we didn't teach it well. ”
"It is said that it is difficult to do the stepmother, I don't lack him to eat, not short for him to drink, add clothes when it's cold, fan cold when it's hot, even my mother doesn't necessarily do this. I don't fight for myself, and I was even said. There's really no way to live this day, so I think it's better to disperse sooner. ”
Qu Qianli said aggrievedly, but no one in the crowd sympathized with him.
In the end, the patriarch couldn't bear it, his eyes widened, and he put pressure on Qiao Mingzhong: "Bring your daughter-in-law back, if you make such a fuss, this village can't accommodate you, where should you go." ”
Then, he glanced around and reassured everyone: "This kid just thought about it for a while, and something like that won't happen in the future, let's go back to our respective homes." ”
There were still people in the crowd who wanted to see the excitement, but looking at the patriarch's face, he was still pulled away by the people around him.
The patriarch watched the people slowly disperse before calling Qiao Yan Tang into the house.
Su Ji and Yan Shoucheng, as former suspects, were also left to wait at the door.
After Qiao Yantang entered, Su Qi intuitively felt that this matter had something to do with him. I wanted to say a few words to Yan Shoucheng, but there were Xia Yulu and Wang Hongying standing next to me, so I could only hold back the words in my heart.
Not long after, Su Qi was called in, Yan Fusheng and the patriarch sat on the main seat, Qiao Yan Tang's eyes were red, his body was full of anger, and his hands were still bursting with green tendons.
"Su Qi, Qiao Yan Tang said that he beat someone because others bullied you, did you say anything to him before? Are you using Yan Tang to eliminate dissidents? ”
Before Su Qi could speak, Qiao Yantang angrily replied: "I said, it has nothing to do with her, it's all my own thoughts." ”
Yan Fusheng slapped the table: "Qiao Yan Tang, do you know how serious what you have done, we are helping you now." ”
Su Qi chuckled: "The way to help him is to pull me into the water?" You really know how to turn your elbows in. ”
Yan Fusheng's voice raised a little again: "This thing was originally caused because of you, do you still have a conscience for instigating such a simple child?" ”
Su Ji grinded his teeth: "First, I have never instigated, today, oh no, everything that happened last night was beyond my expectations. ”
"Second, this incident didn't start because of me, if Wang Hongying and Xia Yulu hadn't bullied me because of their selfish desires, there would be no follow-up incidents, you have to find the culprit in this matter, and it is also the two of them."
"Third, do you think that helping Qiao Yantang now is just for his good? When he was bullied at home and called by the family as a servant, why didn't he see you coming out? ”
Qiao Yantang was touched by these words, and also stiffened his neck to express his dissatisfaction: "Since my mother died, no one has cared about me anymore, Teacher Su is the first, she is the same as my mother, she will worry about whether I am too tired and whether it will be too hard." ”
"Whoever wants to bully her is to bully me, I used to be young and couldn't protect my mother, but in the future, I can protect Teacher Su."
Yan Fu gasped angrily: "Look, look, this is ecstasy." ”
The patriarch's face was better, and he turned his head and handed over the matter of persuading Qiao Yan Tang to Su Qi: "Su Qi, you can also hear what the situation is, Yan Tang can listen to your words now, you can persuade him well." ”
Su Ji himself didn't expect that just because of his few words of concern, Qiao Yantang put himself in such a high position, and because he had done something wrong.
Fortunately, this matter was solved by himself in the village, Qiao Yantang was not in big trouble, otherwise he would not be happy in his heart.
With apologies, Su Qi comforted Qiao Yantang: "Classmate Qiao Yantang, not everything in this world is satisfactory, and not all unsatisfactory things have to be solved by violence. Just like you this time, the purpose is to protect me, the starting point is good, but because of the wrong means, you have made yourself the wrong party. ”
"You want me to be good, but I also want you to protect yourself, so in the future, don't do irreparable mistakes because of impulse. You're going to have to get out of the village and see the big world in the city! ”
"Believe me, I'll have my own solution."
