Chapter 199 The Qin Family Farce
Xiangbo snorted coldly: "I've heard a lot outside the door. The people who quarreled just now were Qin Sangou and who. It's related to Qin Daniu?"
Seeing that old Qintou was still a bit embarrassed, Qin Sangou couldn't help saying: "Xiangbo, it's like this, Qin Ergou insisted that my son Daniel stole his silver and wanted to talk about it with our family. He's a good boy and would never do something like that."
Xiangbo accompanied Lin Xiazhi to Beishan Village more than once. Among these tenant farmers, Lin Xiazhi had an impression of Qin Sangou and Qin Daniel. Before that, Lin Xiazhi told Xiangbo that the Qin family should let Daniel come to Linjia Village to study. As a result, such a thing happened in the blink of an eye.
"If you say no, you won't. Who knows whether he will do it or not." Qin Ergou pouted, with a hidden look of disdain on his face.
"I didn't!" Qin Daniu was full of grievances.
Not only Qin Daniu, but several of his younger brothers also stood up and said that his brother would not do bad things.
"Er Zhu, come here and tell me, when Qin Daniu came to look for you, did he go to my room?" Regardless of the crying little guys in Qin Sangou's family, Qin Ergou pulled his son out, "Since you If it’s not that Qin Daniu is going to my house to find Er Zhu, then let Er Zhu talk about it.”
"I..." Qin Erzhu stammered, his legs seemed to be trembling.
"Don't be afraid, what did you tell me at noon today, you can say what you say in front of the big guy, and daddy will take care of you when something goes wrong."
"Da Niu came to me this morning to look for rabbit grass in the back mountain. I just wanted to go to the hut, so I asked him to wait for me at home for a while. When I got out of the hut, I, we went out together. I, I didn't see Daniel enter Father's room with my own eyes." Qin Erzhu finished speaking hesitantly.
"Er Zhu!" Qin Daniu was full of anger, "Why did you lie, I was clearly outside and didn't enter your house."
"I'm not lying. I poured you a bowl of water after you entered the room, and you complained about my busy schedule." Qin Erzhu's face turned pale when he met the angry and disappointed eyes of his friend.
"You heard it, Qin Daniu took it, you still don't believe it, although my Erzhu didn't see it with his own eyes, but he went to the latrine, only Qin Daniu was there, it wasn't who he was. Daniel quickly hand over the money Take it out, and I won't pursue you for stealing the money." Qin Ergou looked a little complacent.
Xiangbo thought that when he first came into contact with the tenant farmers of the Qin family, Qin Ergou had no sense of existence, and he didn't say much when he saw him, but today he actually quarreled with Qin Sangou in front of him.
The contrast between before and after is still too great. Could it be that after you have money in your hands, you start to be jealous?Xiangbo's impression of Qin Ergou fell.
"Qin Ergou! Who knows if you and your son colluded to wrong my Da Niu? My Da Niu told me, so he didn't enter the house and waited outside."
"Take a step back, even if what Qin Erzhu said just now is true, it doesn't mean that Daniel entered your room, let alone pour dirty water like taking money on my Daniel!" Qin Sangou stared wide Eyes, he was so angry that he clenched his fists.
"What's the noise!" Xiangbo's face looked even worse, it's nothing, "Did anyone else see Qin Daniu entering the house at that time?"
"No more." Old Qin shook his head, he had asked about it just now, otherwise how could the matter have been so troubled that it can't be resolved now.
"Qin Ergou, how much money is missing?" Xiang Bo turned his head and asked Qin Ergou.
"Three taels of silver and dozens of copper plates." Qin Ergou was called by Xiang Bo and replied honestly.
"Then when did you leave the house? When did you go back? When did you find that the money was missing?" Xiangbo continued to ask.
Qin Ergou replied without hesitation: "I went out at [-]:[-] in the morning and went back at the end of the day. When I got back, I found that the money was gone."
"Qin Erzhu, when did Qin Daniu come to your house to look for you?" Xiangbo asked Qin Erzhu again.
When Qin Erzhu saw Xiangbo asking him, his face became more tense, and he hesitated for a while and said uncertainly: "Bad, almost Chenshi, Chenshi three quarters."
"No, I just went there at the beginning of time!" Qin Daniu interjected at this time.
"Oh?" Xiang Bo listened to Qin Daniu's quick answer, and observed Qin Erzhu's face secretly. Sure enough, Qin Erzhu's face changed drastically, and his expression was flustered. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell something was wrong.
"Qin Daniu, do you have any evidence for Qin Erzhu at this time?" Xiangbo asked.
"Yes, I went to the uncle's house first, and the uncle knows." Qin Da Niu's eyes lit up.
"Yeah, Daniel did come over at that time, but my child had already gone up the mountain, and Daniel went to Ergou's house." Qin Dagou stood up and testified.
After hearing Qin Dagou's words, Qin Erzhu fell limply to the ground, and Qin Ergou was surprised.
It is clear at a glance who is telling the truth and who is lying.
Qin Daniu looked at Qin Erzhu, feeling extremely uncomfortable. He didn't cry just now when he was wronged, but now he couldn't help but shed tears: "Erzhu, why did you do this?"
Qin Erzhu smiled miserably, and broke the jar: "Why did I do this? It's not because you are going to study in the school of Young Master Lin and the others. I'm jealous! Why don't I go? I'm obviously smarter than you, and I work harder than you ..."
"Shut up!" Qin Ergou picked Qin Erzhu up from the ground and slapped him, "I didn't let you go!"
"Father!" Qin Erzhu held his slapped face in disbelief.
The room fell silent, and everyone looked at Qin Ergou and Qin Erzhu.
"I asked you to learn crafts with me at home, and then go out to make bamboo pipes. What's wrong? You can't earn money by studying." Qin Ergou jumped in anger. Now he can go out alone to lay bamboo pipes for the dry fields, and he earns every day. With a lot of money, he doesn't understand what good it is to go to school.
There was still some noise in the room, Xiangbo watched Qin Ergou teach his son, frowned, and turned to old Qintou: "Old Qintou, I will tell the young master truthfully what happened today."
Looking at the old Qintou's face that looked older than before, Xiangbo sighed, "Have you chosen which three children to send to school?"
Hearing the words, Old Qin bowed his waist and replied: "It was decided before, and it is to send Sanwang, Daniu and Dahu to the three of them."
"Okay, I see. These three children will go to Linjiacun with me later. If it is too late, they will not be able to register for the school. They can live in the empty room of the school. I will send them back once a month. You don't have to." Worry." After finishing speaking, Xiang Bo pulled Qin Daniu who was in the room to find Qin Sanwang and Qin Dahu that the old Qintou had mentioned.
Qin Sanwang is the son of Qin Dagou, and Qin Dahu is the son of Qin Sigou. Among the four tenant farmers of the Qin family, only Qin Ergou's family has no one to go to school. No wonder Qin Erzhu's mentality is out of balance.
Seeing that Xiangbo was about to leave, Qin Ergou quickly put down his son, ran over and said to Xiangbo: "Xiangbo, I will definitely discipline this child in the family well in the future, and please don't mind what happened today between you and Young Master Lin."
Although the Qin family made money by making bamboo pipes for a few months, after they were divided into four households, each household didn't actually get much money.
If Lin Xiazhi heard what happened today and didn't give them the land, the money their family saved would only be enough to build a new house and buy an acre of paddy fields. The crops grown from one acre of land would not be enough for the family to eat.
Now that the weather is getting colder, there are fewer dry fields to be filled with bamboo tubes. If we can't plant the land and go out to make bamboo tubes, what will happen to the family's livelihood.
Xiangbo did not agree to Qin Ergou: "Young master's decision is not something that I, a servant, can decide. This matter depends on the young master's decision."
"Yes, yes." Qin Ergou's face darkened.
After Xiangbo left the house, Old Qin came to Qin Ergou: "Ergou, before you thought you had mastered a craft, you got carried away and made the whole family divorced. From now on, you can take over the work alone."
Old Qintou was very disappointed with Qin Ergou. His elder brother entrusted him to take care of the child, but he failed to take care of him well.
"Fourth Uncle, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I shouldn't have yelled without knowing the facts." Qin Ergou panicked even more now.
Although the few of them learned a few tricks from the old Qintou, without the guidance of the old Qintou, what he learned would be replaced by new things sooner or later.
"Bah! Are you afraid now? Why weren't you afraid when you swore that my family was a big bull?" Qin Sangou was so angry that if Qin Dagou didn't stop him, he would have rushed to fight him.
"Big Gouzi, Si Gouzi, you take San Gouzi out first." Lao Qintou sighed, his already stooped back bent even more, "Second Gouzi, think about it, if Da Niuzi If you are really wronged, this child's life will be ruined. You don't need to say more, I have decided that our Qin family will take jobs separately in the future. Big Gouzi, San Gouzi and Si Gouzi can be together if they want to be together, and if they don't want to be together Also do it alone."
Er Gouzi's father died when he was less than ten years old. Since then, he has lived with Lao Qintou, which is equivalent to being brought up by Lao Qintou. Seeing Lao Qintou like this, his heart twitched, and the tears of regret stopped. Can't stop.
It's all because he went out to do some work, and after being praised a few times, he forgot his last name. Thinking of this, Qin Ergou knelt down and kowtowed three times to Old Qin.
Qin Erzhu stood aside and was so frightened that he didn't dare to cry. He realized that he had caused a catastrophe.
Qin Dagou, Qin Sangou, and Qin Sigou were shocked when they heard what old Qintou said, and they looked at each other.
On the other side, Xiangbo took his three children on the way back to Linjiacun.
On the way, the three children were all uneasy, especially Qin Daniu, who had just experienced the first ups and downs in his life.
After hearing what he said just now, Qin Sanwang and Qin Dahu gathered together to comfort him.
Qin Daniu's depressed mood improved a lot after being comforted by his cousins who grew up together, and only after he recovered did he realize that they were on their way to the Lin family.
Seeing that the three children were all very nervous, Xiang Bo simply introduced them to Linjia Village to live there.
