With Qi Shiqi around, Tian Minyan and the others soon learned the story of the Tian Huaide incident on the other side of the Henghe River. After hearing the whole story, Tian Minyan sighed, Xiao He succeeds, Xiao He fails!
The Mrs. Chiang whom Mrs. Chen met at the beginning was actually a businessman. Her mother's family had a distant cousin who was an official. Coincidentally, the official's surname was Tan. Yes, it was the same Tan Zhishi.
Mrs. Jiang promised Chen a three-cent profit, saying that it was a joint venture in the marine goods business, and they did not need to take care of the connections shop or anything like that. As long as Tian Huaide and the others were accommodating when unloading the goods, they were actually avoiding inspection.
With this accommodation, the business naturally flourished, and the interest provided by Mrs. Jiang was also very generous. Mrs. Chen and the others tasted the benefits, and soon worshiped Mrs. Chiang as a god.
Tian Huaide was not without doubts. He had also inspected the cargo and saw that it was real porcelain and jewelry, so he put down his doubts. Who would have thought that the porcelain would be filled with white salt?
Several months passed in this way, and everything went smoothly. Tian Huaide completely relaxed and enjoyed the three cents of interest, but he never thought that it would happen to a woman.
Who is this woman? She is Chen Xiaojuan, the idiot who was deceived by Chen into marrying into Tan Zhishi's family.
What Chen Xiaojuan hates most in her life is Mrs. Chen. If she hadn't cheated her into marrying, how could she have been married to a fool. She was tortured to death by that fool every day, and finally got pregnant with a child. The Tan family was afraid that she would run away.
When she goes to the toilet, her mother-in-law follows her closely.
Chen Xiaojuan hated it. She struggled to give birth to a son, but he inherited a son who was also stupid and extremely weak. She was so desperate that she wanted to die, and her hatred for Chen became even deeper.
But they said that Madam Chiang and Tan Zhi had already reached a consensus. One day when Madam Chiang came to deliver money, she happened to be seen by Chen Xiaojuan. Because she gave birth to a son, the Tan family became more relaxed towards her, and she could come and go freely in the house.
As a result, he listened to what Tan Zhisheng and Mrs. Jiang said.
Chen Xiaojuan finally got a chance to take revenge. In order to make the Tan family relax their vigilance, she pretended to accept her fate and loved her son. She took the opportunity to go out to offer incense. In fact, she wanted to report Tian Huaide for colluding with her boss to sell illegal salt.
As can be imagined, Mrs. Jiang had already prepared a retreat. She immediately ran away after hearing the news, blaming everything on Tian Huaide. Even the name of the salt shop was also the name of Tian Huaide, which made him suffer.
Can't tell.
After hearing what Tian Minyan said, Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she threw a tea bowl on the ground and cursed viciously: "That evil woman, a broom star, I'll call her a troublemaker and want to kill my old Tian family. If not,
How could she be like this when she married a harmful person? A broom star who is harmful to people and things."
Tian Minyan lowered her eyelids and thought to herself, why didn't you say this when you accepted other people's gold and silver jewelry? You worshiped Mrs. Chen like an immortal and loved her dearly.
Regarding this matter, Tian Minyan once again saw clearly Jiang's face. When he was on good terms with you, he would say anything was good. Once he was not good with you, he would tell you all the bad things in heaven and earth. He would fall out faster than flipping through a book.
The old man couldn't care about this. Now he only focused on when his precious son would be released, so he asked anxiously: "Girl Yan, what did the prince say? Your uncle was wronged. When can he be released?"
"Grandpa, the current witnesses and physical evidence prove that the uncle is the mastermind. If the man named Jiang cannot be caught, the uncle will be blamed for it." Tian Minyan said lightly.
The old man's face turned pale, his body swayed, and he said sadly: "Keke, your uncle was wronged."
Tian Huairen hurriedly stabilized him and comforted him: "Dad, don't worry, as long as the leader named Jiang is caught, the eldest brother will be released."
"Your eldest brother has been weak since he was a child. He can't bear it." The old man grabbed Tian Huairen's arm and begged in a pleading voice: "Third brother, you and the prince have a close relationship. Please go and beg me."
Let your eldest brother and the others come out."
Tian Huairen was very embarrassed and murmured: "Dad, it is a state-owned and state-owned law. This case is not yet clear, so I can't let it go."
After hearing this, the old man grabbed Tian Huairen's hand and slid it down in despair. He took two steps back and murmured, "I hurt him. It's all my fault. It's all me."
Tian Huairen couldn't bear to look anymore and looked at his daughter, but Tian Minyan turned her head away. She would not ask for help. Tian Huairen and the others needed a bloody lesson and they needed to remember that this was a disaster.
Tian Huaide did remember that he had just been whipped several times by the jailer, his skin and flesh were torn, and he was dragged back to the cell with a painful look on his face.
"Dad, dad..." Tian Minlin cried and knelt up, and helped Tian Huaide up. He shivered when he saw the new whip marks on his father's body.
It's so terrible. It's so terrible in the prison. Why haven't Third Uncle and the others come to rescue them?
"You, come out." The prison guard pointed his whip at Tian Huaixiao, who was cowering in a corner and pretending to be dead.
At this moment, Tian Huaixiao wished he could be as big as a mosquito, and it would be better for him to be remembered by the prison guards. Now when he was told to go out, he shrank and huddled up, hoping to escape this flogging.
The prison guard would not ignore him. The superiors had told him to take good care of these two people. How could he, a little prison guard, dare not listen?
No, seeing that Tian Huaixiao was disobedient, he stepped forward with a curse, first gave him a kick, and then dragged Tian Huaixiao out who was yelling.
"No, it's none of my business. I don't know anything. My eldest brother did it all. I didn't get a single coin. I was unjust. Sir, have mercy on me, ah..." Tian Huaixiao howled.
, passing by the women’s prison, they saw Ms. Li and others in the prison, crying and calling: “His father, father...”
"Ouch... It's unjust, sir, ah, Tian Huaide, Mr. Chen... you broom star, you killed me... ah." Tian Huaixiao screamed sadly.
Upon hearing Tian Huaixiao's words, Mrs. Li jumped towards Mrs. Chen, her hands turned into claws to greet her, and she scolded her as fiercely as possible: "Broom star, harmful person, I will fight with you."
"Harmful spirit, harmful spirit." Gou Sheng also kicked and bit Chen.
Seeing that her mother was being bullied, Tian Minting couldn't care less, so she pulled her little brother to resist. The two parties started fighting, while Tian Minjing on the side was sobbing. Only Xiao Taohua sneered and hugged her two-month-old daughter to watch.
Amid the excitement and shouting from time to time, Tian Minlin's new wife lowered her head expressionlessly, not knowing what to think.
"Master, master, save me." Mrs. Chen cried and shouted.
"You still have the nerve to scream, you broom star, if it weren't for you, we would be in this situation?" Ms. Li howled.
Tian Huaide himself was too busy to take care of himself. He had only been here for a few days, but his body was already scarred, and he had been particularly uncomfortable for the past two days. Before he got better, the prison guard took him out to 'serve' him again, which made him miserable.
"Dad, when will Third Uncle and the others come to rescue us?" Tian Minlin was very frightened. His hair was disheveled, but he still looked as handsome as before.
"Lao San, Lao San, why aren't you here yet?" After hearing this, Tian Huaide burst into tears from the corners of his eyes, with a look of regret on his face.
With a bang, Tian Huaixiao was "served" and thrown back into the cell, wailing in pain. After a while, he got up, punched and kicked Tian Huaide, and cursed: "It was all you, if it weren't for you
Greed, how could you cause such a disaster? I will beat you to death."
Tian Huaide avoided it, but he was whipped for several days. His body was not as strong as Tian Huaixiao, so he received a few punches and his nose was bruised and his eyes were swollen.
Seeing this, Tian Minlin had no choice but to protect him, and after receiving a few punches, he shouted to Tian Huaixiao: "Second uncle, no one wants to do this."
"If you don't want to, why did you go there in the first place?" Tian Huaixiao retorted with a cold snort.
"Second brother, why didn't you spend a little of this money? You didn't rely on me to spend my money when you were famous outside. If something happened, you relied entirely on me. In the beginning, you were the one who insisted on following me to Henghe.
Yes, whose business are you doing?" Tian Huaide said angrily.
"If I knew that today, even if I were beaten to death, I wouldn't follow you. Who would be surprised?" Tian Huaixiao let out a loud sigh and spat.
On the other side of the women's prison, Mrs. Li also loudly agreed after hearing this, and the two sides began to fight.
"Everyone, shut up and be quiet." The prison guard came over and shouted coldly: "If you have the strength to make a noise, ah, whoever is making a noise will be pulled out and beaten again."
The two parties immediately fell into silence, not daring to speak out, and only looked at each other with their eyes.
"Humph! We're still a family! Bah!" When the prison guard saw this, he sneered contemptuously and left.
After a while, another prison guard came over and said that someone was visiting the prison. Tian Huaide and the others looked at it happily, but when they saw the visitor, they were all disappointed.
"Sister Zhuang, why are you here? Where did you come from? It's very unlucky that you are pregnant again. Go back, go back." Mrs. Chen was shocked when she saw that the person coming was Tian Minzhuang.
Tian Minzhuang has been pregnant for three months. Although her life after marriage was not rich, she was still comfortable. Yuan Xiucai also treated her very kindly, so she became a lot plumper. But now, her face is haggard.
Both eyes are red and swollen.
When Tian Minzhuang saw his mother, he couldn't believe that this was the same mother with beady hair and red face that he had talked to a few days ago. Is this old woman with disheveled hair, haggard, and bloodstains on her face her mother?
"Mom, how did you do this?" Tian Minzhuang's tears suddenly fell down and he said, holding on to the railing of the prison.
She relied on a lot of connections and spent a lot of money to come in for a visit, but what happened was a scene like this, which was too terrifying.
"Sister, please get us out quickly, I don't want to stay here anymore, wuwu, there are so many rats and cockroaches here, sister." Tian Minting cried and begged, holding Tian Minzhuang's hand.
"Sister." Jin Dan also cried miserably.
"Tingting, golden egg..." Tian Minzhuang's tears kept falling.
When Mrs. Chen saw this, she was also filled with sadness, and her two mothers burst into tears.
With a grunt, Jin Dan's stomach rang. He pouted and looked at Tian Minzhuang and said, "Sister, I'm hungry..."
Tian Minzhuang quickly opened the food basket he brought. There was a roast chicken and several large steamed buns inside.
She grabbed one and gave it to the golden egg. Before she could get the golden egg, a hand came out from the side and snatched it away. Tian Minzhuang was stunned. When he saw the man snatching the steamed bun, he was furious: "Second Aunt
,you..."
"What's wrong? Your second aunt is also hungry, and Gou Sheng is also hungry. Hmm, what's wrong with a steamed bun? If it weren't for your parents, would we be locked up in this damn place?"
Mrs. Chen's eyes were cold, but she also knew that this was not the place to argue. She only glanced at Mrs. Li coldly, looked at her daughter and said, "Sister Zhuang, don't argue with her."
Jindan was robbed of the steamed bun and couldn't stop crying. Tian Minzhuang felt sad and had to take another steamed bun, but he was wary of Li and the others and handed it to Jindan.
He took the golden egg and hugged it tightly and gnawed it hard. Tian Minzhuang cried again. While crying, he tore the drumsticks and handed them to Mrs. Chen and others. Mrs. Li also came to grab them. Although she was angry, she just scolded her.
A few sentences.
"Sister Zhuang, Sister Zhuang."
Diagonally across from the women's prison, Tian Huaide's voice came over. Tian Minzhuang then remembered his father, looked over, exclaimed, and walked over quickly: "Dad, they beat you like this."
"Sister Zhuang, go quickly and ask your third uncle and the others to rescue us." Tian Huaide coughed twice and said painfully.
"Yes, Sister Zhuang, go and beg Third Uncle quickly. Don't Third Uncle and the others know the prince? They must have a way to rescue us." Tian Minlin also said eagerly.
"Well, I'll go, I'll go."
"Hey, eldest niece, give me some food, your second uncle is hungry too." Tian Huaixiao licked his mouth and looked at the basket at Tian Minzhuang's feet with shining eyes.
Tian Minzhuang looked at him with disgust, and then looked at her feet. There were only two steamed buns and one chicken leg left. She regretted it. She should have brought more. Dad and the others were so pitiful.
Tian Minzhuang pursed his lips, threw a steamed bun to Tian Huaixiao, and then gave the remaining chicken leg and steamed bun to Tian Huailin.
Tian Huailin was a filial son, so he gave the chicken leg to Tian Huaide, and Tian Huaide was also hungry, so he took the shiny chicken leg and took a bite. Tian Huaixiao snatched it away. He said angrily: "Second brother."
Tian Huaixiao threw the half-eaten bun into his arms, biting the chicken drumstick, and said, "This is what you owe me. It's my turn to eat the drumstick."
"you..."
"It's time." The prison guard came over to urge Tian Minzhuang.
Tian Huaide said hurriedly: "Sister Zhuang, remember to go find your third uncle and ask him to rescue us. Tell your third uncle that your father was wronged. I didn't do anything and I don't know anything."
"Dad, I understand." Tian Minzhuang was jealous, looking at the pitiful looks of his father, brother, mother, and siblings. How could he still look like the noble and self-sufficient official lady of the past?
She walked out of the prison and saw Yuan Xiucai waiting outside to greet him. She wiped her tears, raised her chin and said, "Now that you are happy, I am no longer a superior official lady."
Yuan Xiucai was stunned for a moment, then his face sank and he said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Is now the time to talk about this? I thought of it. I have some friendship with Master Zhizhou's concubine, and he is also very favored. I will go and beg him.
, let him clear it up, and my father-in-law and the others will have an easier time."
Tian Minzhuang was startled, and then his heart warmed up, and he let out a choked hum, thinking, a friend in need is a friend indeed, maybe this husband is not all good after all.
She recalled Tian Huaide's reminder and said, "Husband, I want to go back to Yangmei Village immediately."
