SFS Chapter 235: Driven Out of the Village
Chapter 235: Driven Out of the Village
Carpenter Zhang pushed open the door of the Zhang family's old house.
The yard was covered with snow, which made a rustling sound when you stepped on it.
The two men looked at the footprints in the yard. There were only footprints coming out, no footprints going back. They were afraid that the bastard would find out that his tracks were exposed and would not dare to come back.
Despite this, the two of them still walked in.
A coughing sound came from inside. The owner of the voice heard footsteps outside and said weakly, "Son, I'm very hungry. Please give me something to eat!"
Carpenter Zhang felt a pang of pain when he heard this voice. If it were before, he would have gone in to serve Grandma Zhang long ago. But after going through so much, he also understood who he should truly care about. Even if he was soft-hearted and reluctant, he had to be ruthless for the sake of his wife and children.
Zhang Dazhui pushed open the door and walked into the room.
Grandma Zhang was lying on the bed, covered with a tattered quilt. She struggled to sit up, and when she saw Zhang Dazhu, her old face was filled with excitement.
"Dazhu, you're here to see grandma. I knew you were the most filial and wouldn't just watch her starve to death or freeze to death. Good boy, come and take grandma away!"
"I'm not here to see you, I'm here to see Zhang Lei," Zhang Dazhu said calmly. "Zhang Lei just went to see my sister-in-law again, causing her to have a miscarriage. Now we don't know if the baby can be kept."
"Why is that brat still so naughty? Dazhu, I've already tried to persuade him, but he wouldn't listen. This matter has nothing to do with me! I won't care about your uncle anymore. I'm on your side. When Chunni gives birth, I'll take care of the baby. Dazhu, take grandma away quickly. She's been hungry for a few days and she's really dying."
"This was your original choice. Now that you've made it, don't regret it." Zhang Dazhu said calmly, "I'm just here to inform you. If Zhang Lei falls into our hands again, we won't be polite to him. It's no use crying and making a fuss with us again. We won't let Zhang Lei go."
Carpenter Zhang did not come in.
He was worried that he would be soft-hearted.
Grandma Zhang's crying sound came from inside.
Zhang's father and son left immediately and continued to search for Zhang Lei's whereabouts.
Zhang Lei had committed a crime and was afraid to return home, so he had no choice but to leave the village. As for where he might have fled to, that was beyond the imagination of the two of them. So, Zhang Dazhu immediately gathered the men he had close ties with in the village, paid them to help him capture Zhang Lei, and reported the matter to the village chief.
A lot of things happened in the village last year, which had an unprecedented impact on the village's reputation. The village chief will no longer tolerate those who damage the village's reputation.
When Zhang's father and son gathered the villagers to arrest Zhang Lei, Xiao Chunni had stabilized and was carried back to their home by Zhang Erzhu.
After this incident, no one was in the mood to have fun. The Zhang family returned to their own homes to look after Xiao Chunni, while the Tang family helped to the end. According to Xiao Chunni's condition, they went to find Dr. Shi and brought him in for a follow-up consultation. After taking Xiao Chunni's pulse, Dr. Shi praised Tang Yixiao's ability to save her life.
"You should thank this young man. If it weren't for his reasonable arrangements, this child wouldn't have the blessing of coming into this world. Now, as long as we take good care of him, there will be no serious problems."
"Thank you, doctor." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Doctor Shi asked, "Which doctor did you study medicine with?"
Tang Yi smiled and said, "There's a new clinic opened in the county town, the doctor's surname is Wei."
"So it was him!" Doctor Shi said regretfully. "If it were any other doctor, I'd have tried to snatch you away. But if it were him, I wouldn't have been able to snatch you away. We're both doctors, and I've heard of his name, so I went looking for him. I've also secretly observed him treating patients, and his medical skills are truly superb."
Tang Dafu drove the carriage to take Doctor Shi back.
Qin Huiyin brought a bag of braised meat for Doctor Shi to go with his wine.
In the room, Xiao Chunni touched her belly and cried, "Fortunately, the baby is fine, otherwise I would really regret it."
"You're pregnant now, don't cry." Mrs. Zhou wiped Xiao Chunni's tears. "This child is blessed with a good fortune. When he's born, he'll be a treasure for our whole family."
Pang Shi walked in with chicken soup: "Eat more good food to replenish your body during this period."
Zhou looked at Li Taohua and the others and said, "Sister, thank you so much for your family's help. Your family is blessed. Anyone who makes friends with your family will have good luck."
"It's our fault, actually. If we hadn't made these things, you wouldn't have neglected Chunni." Li Taohua said, "I hope you don't blame us."
"Sister, please don't say that! We never had such thoughts." Zhou was anxious when she heard this. "If it weren't for that Zhang Lei, we would still be having fun. It's our own dirty business, and it disturbed your fun. Please don't be angry."
After returning from Zhang's house, Li Taohua turned around and looked at Qin Huiyin: "My daughter, I wasn't really talking about you just now."
"I know." Qin Huiyin hugged Li Taohua's arm. "Mom is testing their thoughts. If they really have such thoughts, I will definitely not associate with them anymore."
"Anyone with a clear mind wouldn't blame you for this. However, there are always people with unclear minds in this world." Li Taohua held Qin Huiyin's hand. "My daughter is sincere to them. If they have other thoughts about my daughter, don't blame me for turning my back on them."
"Aunt is so smart." Xue Weifeng said admiringly.
"That's still not as good as Master Xue." Li Taohua glanced at him, "I told you not to give us money, and you really listened. You didn't give us money, so you only lost to us."
"Aunt, that's because you guys are so good at playing cards," Xue Weifeng said innocently. "I'm not as good as you guys, so I accept the loss wholeheartedly."
"Flatterer." Tang Yi curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly.
What on earth does this guy want? If he keeps showing off like this, I'm really worried that we'll have another son.
"Little brother, you looked so handsome just now. I almost worshipped you. You can't say that to me. I like you so much, and you still want to hurt my feelings."
Tang Yi smiled: "..."
"What are we having for dinner?" Li Taohua asked Qin Huiyin. "In this weather, let's have hot pot!"
As they were preparing to have dinner, there was a new development next door: Zhang Lei had been arrested in another village ten miles away.
If there weren't so many people, they really wouldn't have been able to catch this loach. Now that he's caught, the village chief has announced his punishment: to kick him out of the Zhang family tree and expel him from the village, not allowing him to set foot in the village again.
