At night, many people flocked there, lighting torches and illuminating the road.
Before arriving at Tang's house, I heard Tang Youde yelling and scolding: "I will never agree to this! You rebellious son, my father is not dead yet! It's not your turn to have a secret marriage and make a private decision for life!!
This is simply treacherous and shameless! What kind of sage book are you reading!"
Tang Shiheng's voice said: "Dad! I definitely didn't make a decision privately, I just obeyed the authority when the matter was urgent! What's more, Zhou Xiaoniang is Lord Li Zheng's daughter, there is something wrong with it, dad, why are you so angry!"
Just listening to this sentence, you know that Tang Shiheng did it on purpose.
Tang Youde had been coveting Li Zheng's position for several years, and he was obsessed with it. His words were clearly a sign of anger.
As expected, Tang Youde became even more furious, waving the ruler and hitting him one after another: "You treacherous son! You are going to make me angry to death! If you dare to say one more word, I will treat you as my son!"
Tang Shiheng screamed in pain and covered his face with his hands, but did not dodge. Others quickly stepped forward to persuade him: "Tang Dalang, there is nothing we can do about Brother Heng!"
"That's right! It was Zhou Xiaoniang who fell into the water, and Brother Heng also wanted to save others..."
"The two of you have physical intimacy. What if we don't get engaged? Brother Heng, this is so kind!"
Tang Youde glared and said: "Children's marriage is decided by parents, how can it be decided so hastily! I never agree!"
"Dad!" Tang Shiheng said with a painful look on his face: "Why do you insist on having trouble with Master Li Zheng?"
Tang Youde was furious: "What do you mean I can't get along with him... I, how could I have done anything wrong with him? You are really talking nonsense! See if I don't break your legs!"
Tang Shijin clicked his tongue.
In fact, at this time, all you need to do is use the word "gentleman" to suppress Tang Youde, and the problem can be solved immediately. However, Tang Shiheng just responded with every word... Could it be that he wanted to take the opportunity to break with Tang Youde?
No, that's not right. If he wants to take the imperial examination and does not engage in business like her, he will never dare to break up with his biological father.
So he wanted to... expose the Zhou family to misfortune?
Then he got help from the Zhou family in various aspects? For example, money? For example...Eh? Could it be that he wanted to move out temporarily?
After all, Zhou Yu'er, as a daughter, was hugged when she was drowning. If she didn't marry him, she would have to be a sister-in-law... Li Zheng was also a daughter-in-law. From this point of view, Tang Shiheng was incompetent.
The place of defeat!
It's really a pity that Zhou Yu'er is a girl, but she has reached this stage, and even if she tried to persuade her, she wouldn't listen.
But it was okay for the Zhou family to give him some money. Tang Shiheng wanted to move out, but she was not happy.
After all, if he moves out, he can really be alone and comfortably enjoy the support of the Zhou family... Why?
This kind of cruel and vicious scum should stay at home and torture each other with his scumbag father and stepmother!
Tang Shijin made a calculation in his mind and immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"
She took Tang Shiheng's hand and pulled him out with a strong force: "Are you okay? Does it hurt?"
Tang Shiheng's body stiffened slightly, and then he quickly pulled out his hand.
Tang Shijin didn't care, so he moved in front of him and said to Tang Youde: "Tang...Uncle Tang, you read the books of sages in vain, and you don't know the way of a gentleman!? Let me ask you, if you saw someone falling into the water in front of you, what would you do?
How can you ignore death? Even if it is a matter of urgency, it is a fact that we are close to each other. Brother... No, Tang Shiheng is responsible, so he promised to take responsibility in public. As his father, you actually want to
Asking him to renege on his promise? Betrayal of his word? What you did is really despicable!"
Tang Youde was speechless by her.
He pointed at her angrily: "You rebellious girl! Is it your turn to teach me a lesson? Let's see if I don't beat you to death!"
He drew it down with a ruler.
Tang Shijin nimbly dodged, and then He Yuanxiao rushed forward and said loudly: "Tang Youde! I have already written the divorce letter. You two families have no relationship at all. You are not rebellious! If you dare to touch her again,
Don’t blame me for being rude to you!”
Tang Shijin also said: "Speak with reason, don't hit people! A gentleman talks but never strikes!"
"That's right!" He Yuanxiao said: "Look at you like this, showing your teeth and claws at every turn, just like a madman! You don't look like a scholar!"
Tang Youde was not good at debating, and he gasped in anger.
Everyone in the village was moved by Tang Shijin's protection of his brother.
Only Tang Shiheng himself was so stunned that he wanted to vomit blood.
He had planned it all originally. He had a violent conflict with Tang Youde, and then forced the Zhou family to come out to defend him. Then he said in public that he would take responsibility... and then, he persuaded Tang Youde and reluctantly went home.
After that, when I went to the Zhou family again, I only needed a little push, and taking advantage of the Zhou family's guilt, it was very easy to get money, study room, and even pen, ink, paper, and inkstones.
But with Tang Shijin interfering like this, the Zhou family was already in an awkward position. If someone came forward to defend them, of course they no longer had to come forward!
The effect is greatly reduced!
But he couldn't say anything yet!
Did she do it on purpose?
Tang Shiheng's brows knitted tightly!
Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone suddenly said: "Li Zheng is coming!"
Then I saw Zhou Lizheng walking over in a hurry. He waved his hands to everyone and said, "Fellow folks, please give me some face and leave!"
At the same time, he handed over to Tang Youde: "Brother Tang, let's take a step to talk."
Although Zhou Lizheng is not very old, he has been working as a Li Zheng for more than ten years and has a high prestige in the village. When he said this, everyone immediately became uncomfortable watching and could only reluctantly disperse.
Tang Youde, who was younger than Li Zheng, felt much better when he called him Brother Tang, so he nodded and agreed.
Tang Shijin was surprised and came out with He Yuanxiao.
After everyone had dispersed and He Yuanxiao was sent away, Tang Shijin was about to go back and listen when he saw a figure flash and Yan Baiwei jumped in directly from the fence and said with a smile: "No need to go, that's all.
Zhou Lizheng said that he felt sorry for Tang Shiheng, so he would go to the county government to resign and recommend Tang Youde."
What? Tang Shijin was surprised.
This... is Li Zheng too honest this week? If he admits it so frankly, won't Zhou Yu'er be unable to hold his head up for the rest of his life? You can give up your position as Li Zheng for your daughter, but you can't learn to use your power to suppress others and support your daughter.
A waist?
Besides, if a scumbag like Tang Youde takes the stand, it would be an eyesore if nothing else.
Tang Shijin clicked his tongue, waved his hand, and went back to the house directly.
Sure enough, early the next morning, I heard that the two families were planning to discuss marriage.
At this point, of course no one mentioned the previous things. When everyone saw the two families, they all said congratulations.
When Tang Youde went out, he straightened his back and looked very proud.
Who knew that as soon as I went out, I saw a big man like an iron tower standing in front of me. When I saw him, I grinned: "Congratulations, Uncle Tang!"
These days, He Dazhuang often comes to trouble them. As soon as he saw him coming, Tang Youde felt his calves trembling and took a step back: "You...what's the matter with you!"
He Dazhuang grinned in amusement, put his arm directly on Tang Youde's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's such a happy event! Let's have a drink together!"
Tang Youde was angry and anxious, struggling in every possible way, trying to push his hand in vain: "Don't do this, let go quickly... Wouldn't it be an insult to gentlemen..."
Tang Shiheng stood in front of the door and watched the two people leave.
As the name suggests, He Dazhuang is as strong as an ox, while Tang Youde is as skinny as a chicken under his arm.
Tang Shiheng turned around violently to prevent others from seeing his ferocious expression.
