One hundred and sixtieth chapters have to forgive others and forgive others
The torches were swaying in the breeze, and in the quiet night there were only cries and begging for mercy. Everyone looked at Tian Minyan, waiting for her to speak.
Relying on the light of the fire, Tian Minyan looked at the two mothers and their children hugging each other on the ground. The mother was not yet in her seventies, and was only fifty years old, but her hair was already gray, her body was thin, her face was wrinkled, and her tears were flowing into a stream.
And the man who thanked the scoundrel, Xie Gouzi, sat on the ground with his head bowed and cried together with his mother. Where could you see the pride that he had when he picked mulberry fruits to sell?
It is indeed sad to be orphaned and widowed, and to be so frail, especially for the mother. I heard that Xie Gouzi and the others were not all from Yangmei Village, but came here to settle down when they were young.
People who heard the gossip said that his father died when Xie Gouzi was one year old, and the family fields were taken over by his uncle who bullied their orphans and widowers. To achieve their goal, they shamelessly said that Xie Auntie was thanking Gouzi, but his father’s body was still cold.
She seduced men and pushed them to death. Aunt Xie was also a strong woman. She didn’t want any land. She only took her loom and her children away to a foreign country. She relied on weaving to support her hand and foot.
The oldest and only son.
Maybe because he didn’t have a father to teach him, and he was doted on since he was a child, Xie Gouzi became like a little bully, often stealing his mother’s money to spend. When he got older, he even acted wildly, cheated and cheated, and became a scoundrel. What a pitiful world.
With a parental heart, if she hadn't been afraid that they would send Xie Gouzi to see an official, Auntie Xie wouldn't have beaten Xie Gouzi severely first.
Can you spare him?
Tian Minyan pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then asked: "Let me ask you, how did you come up with the idea of stealing into our house?"
Xie Gouzi hesitated and said nothing. Someone in the crowd, who might be close to Xie Gouzi's family, cursed and took him to see the official. He immediately said: "I said, I said."
It turned out that it was exactly what Tian Minyan thought. They and their third family were selling cakes to make money and buying land to build public huts. How could they make such a big fuss if they weren't rich?
He also heard that Mr. Tian was going to Henghe, and he also saw Tian Huairen and the old man going to Henghe together. He thought that there must be no man in the Tian family tonight, so he had bad intentions and wanted to send some money.
Flowers.
But as luck would have it, he followed Tian Huairen's carriage out of the town. When he arrived at the town, he was pulled by someone who was drinking wine with them. He had to go and have a drink. He didn't come home until dark, so he didn't know Tian Minyan at all.
About her uncle coming home.
He deserved his misfortune. He thought he didn't have a man, but he didn't know that there was not only a man, but also a thick man. When the stick came down, his feet were swollen.
Tian Minyan sneered after hearing this and asked again: "What about Qianqiang? How do you know that the mulberry fruit can be sold for money?"
Xie Gouzi smiled proudly after hearing this, but looking at Daotian Minyan's cold face, he shrank, suppressed his smile and said calmly: "I heard everything you and your brother said by the pit that day.
, in order to confirm whether the fruit was really edible, I ate it for two days and then picked it all and sold it when it was fine."
Tian Minyan was so angry that she cursed: "Well, you scoundrel Xie, you really have a lot of skills. I've been waiting for that fruit for a month, and I'm about to sell it for money. Just give me a piece of it. Well, this can be considered my own reward."
If you accept your bad luck, what will you say about tonight?"
"My family bought land, neither robbing nor stealing. We all earned it with the hard work of the whole family. You can see that we are very comfortable selling cakes, but you don't know that this day is not going to happen.
Let’s just get up. You haven’t turned around at that moment, but my little brother got up to help light the fire at such a young age.” Tian Minyan coldly snorted and said loudly: “We are all from the same village, so we have never felt sorry.
No one has ever been envious of anyone. What they have is his ability, so why should he be envious of others? All this wealth is earned by oneself. If you steal and rob, how can you steal mountains of gold and silver? This money also makes you secure?
You are no longer afraid of being punished by God."
"Everyone says that if you climb the mountain, you will eventually encounter a tiger. You, Xie Gouzi, are even more unlucky. You were caught the first time you attacked. How dare you become a gentleman with your ridiculous abilities!"
"I'm just unlucky. I'll retaliate for it." Xie Gouzi muttered and shook his head.
"Xie Gouzi, you have evil intentions. If you can't steal from my house this time, you might steal from someone else's house. We are all from the same village. Instead of having someone catch you and beat you to death next time, I'd better send you to jail now."
Squatting down is better than your mother having to suffer a sad death from a white-headed man to a black-headed man in the future." Tian Minyan snorted, winked at her uncle and said, "Uncle, tie him up, and we'll take him to the county government at dawn.
"
"No, don't pull me, I won't dare to steal anymore." Xie Gouzi became anxious when he heard this and screamed, "I am the one who got carried away today. Girl, please spare me once."
I won’t steal from you anymore, no, I won’t steal from people in our village either.”
"You unscrupulous man, tie him up, tie him up, the girl from the Tian family is right, it's better to go to jail than to send a white-headed man to a black-headed man." Aunt Xie slapped him hard on the shoulder twice.
"Mom, don't, I really don't dare anymore! I swear, I swear, let's do it!" Xie Gouzi knelt down and pointed to the sky and swore: "I will change my ways today. If I dare to do such bad things again in the future,
God bless me and I will not die a good death." Seeing Tian Minyan's unmoved look, she gritted her teeth and said: "If I continue to mess around, then, I will bless my mother and I will not die a good death. That's it, right?"
I swear on my own mother, no matter how messed up people are, they will have some conscience. Tian Minyan narrowed her eyes, snorted and said: "This is not enough."
Xie Gouzi suddenly cried and said: "Auntie, I swore on my mother, what else do you want?"
Tian Minyan chuckled, squinting her eyes and said: "Everyone knows that I just bought a hundred acres of wasteland, and I will open up this wasteland in the near future. Xie Gouzi, if you don't want to see the official, just open up wasteland for my family." He paused.
After a while, he said again: "But it's just food, it doesn't count as wages."
"Ah?" Xie Gouzi was dumbfounded and opened his mouth wide.
"If you don't want to, then go to the official. Uncle, I'll tie you up."
"I wish, I wish, I wish." Xie Gouzi agreed with a wry smile. He didn't have anything serious to do anyway. He had to eat for free, and he could save food for his mother.
"Okay! I didn't force you to say what you said. All the fellow villagers have witnessed it. If Xie Gouzi can't do this in the future, humph!" Tian Minyan rolled her eyes and said again: "Also, if
I lost something in my house, it was you Xie Gouzi who did it."
"Ah?"
Not to mention, we still have to guard the Tian family and not let those thieves take notice, otherwise, it will all be on him.
Xie Gouzi didn't know that his evil intentions turned the wheel of fate for him. Many years later, he became the powerful general manager of the Tian family. He often said to his subordinates: "A single thought can often lead to misunderstandings."
The road ahead of you will be completely reversed. Whether it is good or bad depends on who is standing in front of you. In this life, I have only fallen into the hands of the second lady of the Tian family, but I am also lucky to have fallen into her hands."
After everything was settled, Tian Minyan said that it had disturbed everyone's dreams, and if there was a banquet tomorrow, everyone would be invited to have a drink, and then they all left.
After returning home, the west wing was already brightly lit. Mrs. Gao was still wearing a coat and stood at the door looking around. When she saw Tian Minyan and others coming back, she hurriedly greeted them: "Did you catch the thief?"
"Aunt, let's talk in the room. Be careful because you're cold." Tian Minyan supported her and they entered the west wing. Luo and Lu were sitting on the kang. Seeing them coming home, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother, are you injured?" Luo Shi looked worried.
"My uncle's arm was scratched." Tian Minrui saw with sharp eyes that the clothes on Luo Yaoguang's arm were scratched and seemed to be a little red.
Mrs. Gao exclaimed, her eyes were red, and she cursed that those who kill with a thousand cuts will not die well.
"It's not a big deal, I just rubbed my skin a little." Luo Yaoguang thought it was nothing serious, so he chuckled.
Mrs. Gao was not willing to comply, so she forced him to take off his clothes. When he saw that the wound had indeed been rubbed, he felt relieved, but he still insisted on applying medicine.
"Yan Yatou, what are you thinking about letting that Xie Gouzi come to open up wasteland? I can't trust people like him." Luo Yaoguang let Gao do his work, thinking about what just happened, and asked Tian Minyan.
Over there, Luo Xiaotao had already told what happened outside, and everyone looked at Tian Minyan.
Tian Minyan smiled slightly and said: "Uncle, there is a saying that the people who have to be spared and the people who are spared are from the same village. We don't need to be so stiff to avoid others seeing us as cruel.
It's not a shame. Then again, Aunt Xie is a bit pitiful. Is it true that a widowed mother has brought up such a son, leaving her homeless in old age? You must know that after entering this yamen, she will shed her skin even if she doesn't die when she comes out. What a shame for Xie Gouzi
When a person gets angry, he may do something in the future in order to take revenge.”
"Then there's no need for him to open up wasteland. He's a scoundrel." Tian Minrui was a little confused.
"Brother, let me ask you, our land must be opened up, and we have to find someone. There are too many people, there are too many things to do, and we need someone to take care of it. Do you want to find someone who is familiar and knows everything, or do you want to find someone who is familiar and knowledgeable?"
You don't understand anything?" Tian Minyan looked at him sideways: "Xie Gouzi is a bit of a rogue, but since he dared to eat the mulberry fruit that no one dared to eat, and then sold it,
It proves that he has some courage. Although the people he recognizes are of the same kind, they are just scoundrels, but sometimes, these people can be very useful!"
Whether you want to make an enemy or pull that enemy into your own formation, no matter who you are, you will only choose the latter. Although Xie Gouzi is a rogue, he has courage that ordinary people don't have, and he is also a little clever.
If you don't know someone else, will you eat the fruit that is said to eat the dead just based on what you heard?
And based on the fact that he dares to swear by his mother, Tian Minyan can believe that this person has not buried his conscience, that is, he has been spoiled. This kind of person, as long as he is used properly, will still be of great use in the future.
of.
"you mean?"
"Not only will I use this Xie Gouzi, but in the future, if he is really brave and capable, I will put him to good use." Tian Minyan smiled sweetly, with a calculating but confident star in his eyes.
