There happened to be a group of children picking up stones in front of the intersection. They heard the sound and ran over to see, wow, someone fell into the pit!
Before digging the pit, the adults in each household had told their children that the pit was to prevent bandits from getting close to them, so... the people who fell into the pit were bandits?
"Smash the bandits! Everyone, come and smash the bandits!"
Tang Xiangdong, the eldest grandson of Old Man Tang, was the fastest runner. He grabbed stones and threw them on the heads of Yang's mother and son. The other children followed suit and grabbed stones and threw them into the pit.
Before the thorns on Yang Dacong's butt were pulled out, someone hit him all over his head again. He screamed: "Stop it, stop it! If you hit me again, I'll beat you to death!"
It would have been better if he didn't scream, but when he screamed, the cubs smashed harder, and the gravel fell like raindrops, so hard that the mother and son couldn't even open their eyes.
At this time, Shu Changgen, the second son of the village chief, was passing by the intersection and noticed something unusual. He started shouting from a distance: "What are you smashing?"
Tang Xiangdong shouted back: "There are bandits, Uncle Chang Gen, we are killing the bandits!"
"We're not bandits, help, we're not bandits!"
Mrs. Li howled at the top of her lungs and cried so hard that she screamed miserably!
Shu Changgen walked quickly to the pit and stretched his head to take a look. Hey, there was a donkey as thin as a mantis stuck in the pit. Next to the donkey were two crying people with bruises and swollen faces.
This look really doesn't look like a bandit.
However, to be on the safe side, he did not directly save people, but first asked about their identities.
"I am Shu Guangzong's in-laws. I own a carpenter's shop in the town. Come and save us!" Old Mrs. Li shouted with tears in her eyes.
He is really not a bandit, this is just a misunderstanding.
Shu Changgen directed a few boys to go back to the village to call for help, while he lay down by the pit and tried to pull the old lady up.
But Mrs. Li was old and clumsy. She fell halfway up and fell down, sitting on her butt.
"Hey, do you want to stab me to death?"
Old Mrs. Li couldn't crawl anymore and collapsed on the ground and cursed: "Are the people in your village sick? Why don't you dig a hole in the middle of the road when you have nothing to do? You just dig the hole, but you also throw thorns into it, just to kill people.
?"
Shu Changgen was not happy when he heard this and retorted: "We haven't even settled the accounts with you yet. We just dug the hole and threw away the thorns, but you two have already taken advantage of it before we even used it!"
It’s such a big pit, and there’s nothing built on it. Are you blind? Why can’t you see how you’re pushing into it?”
Mrs. Li turned around and glared at her son: "That's right, are you blind?"
Yang Dacong: "...Aren't I just talking to you and not looking at the road?"
After a while of commotion, reinforcements from the village arrived, and a group of people worked together to lift the two men, a donkey and a cart.
However, the car was smashed into pieces, and I will probably have to pay for it when I get back.
Mrs. Li was so angry. Why was she so unlucky that she lost her car before she even saw anyone when she came out to ask for money?
I must kill the Shu family more later!
The villagers sent Buddha to the west and took them directly to the Shu family. Then they enthusiastically called back Mrs. Shu and the second wife.
Yang Xiaofang looked at her mother and eldest brother with big bumps on their heads and spikes on their buttocks, and the corners of her mouth twitched, "Mom, brother, what are you doing here?"
Just come here and make yourself look like this.
Mrs. Li gasped in pain, "Stop talking yet, help me pull out the thorn in my butt."
"And me, damn, it hurts me so much!" Yang Dacong yelled with his mouth crooked.
Shu Mingyi answered: "Brother, come with me over here and I will help you pull it out."
Several people worked hurriedly and finally cleaned up the small thorns on the mother and son.
Mrs. Shu politely moved stools for the two of them, poured tea, and then asked, "What's the matter with my mother-in-law coming here?"
"Ah this..." Mrs. Li stuttered, not knowing how to open her mouth, and turned to her son for help.
Yang Dacong was thick-skinned, and he opened his mouth regardless of whether it was in compliance with the rules or not: "I heard from the doctor at the medical center what kind of ginseng you sold a few days ago, and it cost more than two hundred taels of silver. Is this possible?"
Mrs. Shu's expression became stern when she heard this, and alarm bells rang in her heart.
These two people went all the way to Yaoshui Village to inquire about this, I'm afraid they didn't have good intentions!
Based on her many years of experience in fighting gangsters, it’s just right to pretend to be poor at this time!
The old lady leaned back in the chair skillfully, patted her thighs and began to say miserably: "Speaking of this, I have to say that this child Mingyi is very lucky!"
The Yang family's mother and son were confused. Why is this related to Shu Mingyi again?
"Last time, he was hit on the head by a refugee and was about to die. The doctor said that only drinking ginseng soup every day could save his life. But can ordinary people like us afford such a rare thing like ginseng?
Originally, his father and I had already thought about where to bury his grave, but then we suddenly thought of the black egg we dug up in the mountain. We thought it looked strange. What if it was something valuable? We showed it to the doctor.
Already.
The doctor said that it was Wuling ginseng, which was very valuable, but not as good as ginseng. However, the doctor saw how pitiful we were, and finally agreed to exchange the Wuling ginseng for a less valuable ginseng, and thus saved Mingyi.
"
Shu Mingyi on the side was very moved when he heard this, and instantly imagined the tragic scene of his parents kneeling down and begging the doctor to sell them ginseng in order to save him.
Wow, his parents were so good to him!
From now on, he must work like a cow or a horse to repay his parents' kindness!
Shu Mingyi couldn't bear it any longer and knelt down in front of Mrs. Shu. He knocked his head three times and said, "Thank you, mother, you have suffered so much."
Mrs. Shu: "..."
This kid really has no eyes at all.
Mrs. Li didn't care about Shu Mingyi's treatment process at all. All her thoughts were on the more than two hundred taels of silver, "So where is the money? It's all spent?"
"Yes, it's not enough after all the money is spent, so we put in the money to buy food." Mrs. Shu continued to work hard.
Mrs. Li was dumbfounded. If she didn’t have money, she would be a ghost!
"Da Cong, how about we go back?"
"Why go back? Why don't you go back!"
Yang Dacong was anxious. He had been beaten and suffered during this trip, how could he go back empty-handed?
"Auntie, let me tell you the truth, my mother and I came here today to settle accounts with you."
Mrs. Shu sneered in her heart, but pretended to be ignorant on her face, and asked him: "What is the calculation?"
"Your son's family of three has lived in Shu Mingyi's house for several years. They eat in our house and live in our house. How many taels of rent and food are they allowed to pay each year? Our donkey cart was also lost by Shu Mingyi. We are not allowed to pay any compensation.
silver?"
Yang Dacong curled up his lips and revealed his eyes, "Since we are relatives and it's not easy for us, I won't ask for more money. Just give me a hundred taels of silver in total."
"One hundred taels? Brother, are you crazy about money?!"
Before Mrs. Shu spoke, Yang Xiaofang couldn't sit still.
How can a donkey cart cost more than 30 taels of silver? If he asked for 100 taels, wasn't it a clear extortion?
"Yang Xiaofang, where are you from?" Yang Dacong shouted dissatisfied and winked at her.
Mrs. Li was also messing around: "Xiaofang, Da Cong is your eldest brother, how can you say that to him?"
