Chapter 1489 Who is to blame?
Outside the Zhao family's courtyard, the sound of firecrackers rang out again.
The sound of firecrackers drowned out Zhao Hong's cries.
Zhao Youcai grabbed the back collar of Zhao Hong's cotton jacket and dragged her back home.
It is true that Zhao Youcai spoils his daughter, but Zhao Youcai thinks that Zhao Hong's behavior cannot be left undisciplined.
"Hold it back!" When they reached the door, Zhao Youcai shouted in a low voice, then opened the door and pushed Zhao Hong in.
Zhao Youcai was different in front of Zhao Hong and Zhao Na than in front of Zhao Jun. In the eyes of his daughter, Zhao Youcai's image of a kind father was not very intimidating, and when he scolded her, Zhao Hong cried even louder.
Hearing the child crying, Wang Meilan, who was cleaning the cabinet in the east room, and Xing San, who was smoking in the west room, both came out.
"What's going on?" Wang Meilan asked as she came out, and Xing San glared at Zhao Youcai and asked loudly, "Who bullied our second daughter?"
Hearing what Xing San said, Zhao Youcai curled his lips and said, "Who can bully her? She's almost the boss of the village!"
"Huh?" Wang Meilan and Xing San were both stunned, but they saw Zhao Youcai push Zhao Hong's back and shout, "Go, go upstairs!"
"You made your second daughter cry?" Wang Meilan saw the clues and knew that Zhao Youcai had made the girl cry. But the couple had lived together for more than 20 years, and Wang Meilan knew Zhao Youcai well. She knew that Zhao Youcai must have had a reason for punishing Zhao Hong.
Xing San was the type who always protected his shortcomings. He frowned and said to Zhao Youcai, "Second brother, it's New Year's Day. What are you doing? Are you making your child cry?"
"Brother, you don't know." Zhao Youcai pointed at Zhao Hong who threw herself into Wang Meilan's arms and said, "She is so overbearing now. After we set off the little foreign firecrackers, she wouldn't let other children pick up the unexploded firecrackers."
"Ah?" Xing San was startled and looked at Zhao Hong.
Wang Meilan held Zhao Hong's shoulders, gently pushed her away from her arms, and asked, "My second daughter, why is that?"
"He's just being bossy." Before Zhao Hong could say anything, Zhao Youcai answered for her: "This guy even beat up other people's children and threatened Sun Baoqing's kid, saying he would go to school and beat him up."
After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Wang Meilan looked at Zhao Hong in astonishment. Zhao Hong was not as good at reading people's faces as Li Xiaoqiao. She was still sobbing, but Wang Meilan pointed at her nose and shouted, "Hold it back!"
"Uh..." Zhao Hong stopped sobbing instantly. Xing San saw this and tried to persuade her: "Hey, sister-in-law, what can a quarrel between children do? Well... my second daughter, we won't beat them. If you want a small foreign whip, Third Uncle will give you money, and we can buy it."
As he spoke, the old man took money out of his pocket.
"Brother!" Zhao Youcai stopped Xing San and said, "Why are you giving her money? Where are those old foreign whips in the barn? I think this kid is just spoiled."
"Who knows?" Wang Meilan frowned and looked at Zhao Hong, saying, "What's going on now..."
According to habit, Wang Meilan would then say "How did you learn to be like this" or "How did you become like this", but Xing San was beside her, and Wang Meilan was afraid that saying that would make the old man think too much.
So, Wang Meilan paused for a moment in the middle of her words before continuing, "How about this?"
Xing San was straightforward, but the old man was not stupid. Although Wang Meilan didn't say anything, Xing San seemed to sense something and immediately distanced himself from the matter, saying, "This second daughter, maybe she learned this from that old woman Jie."
"Hmm?" Hearing him say that, Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan looked at Xing San at the same time. And there was something strange in the eyes of the couple.
Wang Meilan thought to herself, "Well, we didn't blame you, but you found someone else to blame."
Seeing the couple looking at him like that, Xing San hurriedly said, "Before I went to work at the Jie Dazi Lengchang, I heard the people in their village say that Mrs. Jie is a bully in their village. Even though her eldest son is a man of swords and guns, he can't do anything to his mother."
Hearing what Xing San said, the couple curled their lips. Looking at their family hiring these people, how could they save money?
"Ouch!" At this moment, Xing San suddenly raised his hand and pointed outside the window, calling Zhao Youcai and his wife, "Second brother, sister-in-law, Mrs. Jie and Mrs. Jiang are here."
At this moment, the old man felt a little embarrassed as if he was caught saying bad things about someone.
Zhao Youcai turned around and looked out the window, only to see the old lady, Xie Sun, Xie Zhong and Xie Chen coming.
Xie Sun held Zhao Na's hand, and together with them ran to the Zhao family's house, the four members of the Li family who had just set off firecrackers came.
As soon as the door opened, before Xie Sun entered the room, she shouted, "Who hit my second niece?"
When she discussed sisterhood with Wang Meilan, she insisted that Zhao Hong and Zhao Na change their way of addressing her and call her aunt, and for this she even gave the two girls one dollar each as a fee for changing their address.
"I beat him." Zhao Youcai said, "It would be wrong if I didn't beat him!"
"What's the matter, Er?" the old lady asked, "It's New Year's Day, why are you still beating the child?"
Zhao Youcai raised his hand and pointed out the window. Everyone looked in the direction of Zhao Youcai's finger. Outside the Zhao family's courtyard, a group of children were squatting on the ground picking up small firecrackers. The scene was just like scattering food outside and a group of sparrows fell under the tree.
Zhao Youcai repeated what he had just said to Xing San to the old lady and the three members of the Jie family.
After listening to this, the old lady and Jie Zhong did not think there was anything wrong with the way Zhao Youcai disciplined their daughter.
When Xie Sun heard Zhao Hong, a girl, pointing at a group of children and scolding and threatening them, her eyes lit up. But Xie Sun was not stupid, so she said nothing.
But her old son was not very smart. He only saw Jie Chen calling "Mom" with a smile, and then asked, "Didn't you teach Xiaohong all this?"
"Fuck you!" Xie Sun was furious when she heard this. She raised her hand to hit Xie Chen and said, "I'll give you a big slap in the face!"
Xie Chen hurriedly hid behind Xie Zhong, and Xie Zhong was speechless about his silly brother. When encountering such a thing, everyone else would push it away, so how could you still take the blame on yourself?
After sending her stupid son away, Xie Sun said to Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan, "Sister, brother-in-law, I didn't teach our children this. I was busy from morning till night and barely had a word with these kids."
"Ah, no, sister." Regardless of what Wang Meilan was thinking, she just smiled at Jie Sun and said, "How can this be blamed on you? None of us thought that way."
Xie Sun heard this and turned around to glare at Li Chen fiercely. Xie Sun felt a little guilty at this moment, but she thought that she would have to come again after the New Year, so she couldn't bear the accusation in vain.
Turning back, Xie Sun saw Xing San was also present, so she said to Li Dayong, "Dayong, don't be unhappy to listen to what I'm saying."
"Ah?" Li Dayong was a little confused, wondering how could he have anything to do here?
But soon, Jie Sun said, "If you ask me, I learned this from the daughter of the sixth elder brother."
"Hmm?" Only then did Li Dayong understand what Xie Sunshi meant. The "Sixth" that the old lady was talking about was Li Dazhi, and it was obvious that she was trying to push the blame on Li Tongyun.
"That girl is no ordinary flirt!" Xie Sun pointed at Li Ruhai and said, "That day, my aunt, my eldest son and I were walking towards this place. And then we saw that girl. She was knocked down by Ruhai in one fell swoop!"
When Xie Sun said this, everyone looked at Li Ruhai. Li Ruhai curled his lips and thought, you are not much better than me, how can you tell others about this? Don't I want to save face?
"That girl leads these kids inside the house every day." At this time, Xie Sun was still blaming others, saying, "Look at her holding a small stick and yelling at these kids..."
At this point, Xie Sun shook her head and said, "It's not good to do that for a long time."
Everyone thought what Xie Sun said made sense. Only Xie Zhong looked at his mother askance and thought, "For more than ten years, you have been shouting about rat poison all the time. Why don't you think about the bad influence on my son?"
Thinking of this, Xie Zhong suddenly realized that since coming to Yong'an Village, his mother was not only able to take care of herself, but also gave up using rat poison.
Just then, there were sounds of dogs barking outside the house. Judging from the intensity of the barking, it should be a stranger coming.
Zhao Youcai looked out the window and said immediately, "Oh, Lao Liu is here!"
"Huh?" Xie Sun felt a little flustered when she heard that, and felt embarrassed as if she was caught saying bad things about someone.
But at this time, everyone felt something was wrong. Although Li Dazhi's family had only been in the group for a short time, they came every day and were familiar with each other. Shouldn't a dog bark like this?
"It's not my sixth uncle." Li Ruhai glanced out the window and explained to everyone with a smile, "It's Zhang Laoliu who came."
Zhao Youcai pushed the door open and ran out, only to see Zhang Lifeu, the big-tongued man, standing outside the yard.
When he walked in front of Zhang Lifeu, Zhao Youcai couldn't help but frown.
Zhang Life was seen wearing tattered clothes, his cotton jacket was torn at the elbows, the cotton was leaking out, and he hadn’t even patched it.
Zhao Youcai has many faults, but he is not a person who despises the poor and loves the rich, otherwise he would not have joined forces with Zhang Lifeu back then.
But today his family was hosting a banquet, and many of the guests were leaders, and even people like Chu Anmin were present. Zhang Lifeu was really shabby in this outfit for the banquet.
Besides, it's not like Zhang Lifu didn't have decent clothes. Zhao Youcai would ask for cotton jackets, work clothes, and cotton shoes from the logistics department every year. It didn't matter what kind of cotton jacket he wore. It wouldn't be like this.
But as brothers, Zhao Youcai said nothing. He just thought that Zhao Jun still had an extra cotton jacket, so he would ask Lin Xiangshun, who was about the same height as Zhang Lifei, for a work suit. He couldn't let Zhang Lifei look too shabby.
But at this moment, Zhao Youcai felt something was wrong. After a brief thought, he asked Zhang Lifeu, "Where are my sister-in-law and children? Why did you come here alone?"
"Ah?" Zhang Lifu was surprised when he heard this: "Second brother, you don't want me to work? What should I lead them to do?"
Zhang Life's wife has a problem with one of her arms, and his child is not even as old as Li Ruhai.
"Who said I asked you to work for me?" Hearing Zhang Lifu's words, Zhao Youcai twitched his lips and said loudly, "We are slaughtering pigs today. Didn't I invite you to eat pork?"
"Ouch!" Zhang Life was startled when he heard that. He lowered his head to look at his ragged cotton-padded jacket, then raised his head and said, "Second brother, I thought you wanted me to work for you, so I came here in work clothes."
Hearing him say this, Zhao Youcai sighed helplessly. It was rare for Zhang Life to have such a heart, but Zhao Youcai still pinched Zhang Life with his eyelids and said, "Brother, you, you."
As he spoke, Zhao Youcai reached out to hold Zhang Lifu's arm and said, "Let's go upstairs. I'll ask the kids to pick up my brother and sister-in-law later."
"Brother, I can't go in!" Zhang Lifeu broke free from Zhao Youcai's hand and said, "I'm so dirty, your family is also dirty."
"What are you talking about!" Zhao Youcai grabbed Zhang Life's arm and said, "It's okay, brother. Come into the house and I'll find you some clothes to change into, okay?"
"No, second brother." Zhang Life still shook his head and said, "I serve Lao Niu every day, and my body smells bad. Let me go home and I'll wash myself before coming back."
Zhang Life came here to work for Zhao Youcai, and he didn't clean up his clothes, so there was indeed a bad smell.
"Brother, you don't have to do any housework." Zhao Youcai said to Zhang Life, "You can go back and clean up, but you must come back when you are done."
"I don't want to come..." Zhang Lifu was interrupted by Zhao Youcai before he finished speaking, "No, my second brother is slaughtering a pig today, you have to come and support me. Remember, if you can't come by yourself, bring your sister-in-law and the children here."
"Brother, I will definitely come over, so they don't need to come." Zhang Fuli said, "Let them come over, they are still not comfortable."
"That's fine." Zhao Youcai thought for a moment and said, "Then go back, brother. When you're done, come over around twelve o'clock."
As he said this, Zhao Youcai took out a cigarette box from his pocket, took out two Shilin cigarettes and gave one to Zhang Life.
Zhang Lifeu walked away with a cigarette in his mouth. He had just walked a short distance to the south when Zhao Jun drove back from the north.
Seeing the jeep coming back, Zhao Youcai pinched the cigarette with his fingers, stuffed the stubbed out cigarette into his pocket, then walked forward to greet his in-laws and mother-in-law, and took his eldest grandson from his eldest daughter.
At this time, Wang Meilan also came out from the house, and the three of them invited the Zhou family into the house.
The Zhou family came into the house, greeted each other, and sat down. Then Zhou Chunming suddenly noticed Xing San.
Xing San didn't want to see strangers, but after the old lady and Xie Sun said hello to the Zhou family, they took Li Xiaoqiao to the west room. Xing San felt even more uncomfortable staying in the same room with two old ladies, one big and one small, so he found a corner in the east room and sat down.
"Brother, is your last name Xing?" Zhou Chunming asked Xing San, "Did you live in our Beitun before?"
"Ah!" Xing San responded, and then heard Zhou Chunming say, "In recent years, I always hear people talking about you."
"What?" Xing San looked at Zhou Chunming in surprise and asked, "Who can be talking about me?"
Zhou Chunming smiled and said, "In 84, you beat up two forest rangers. Is that true?"
Xing San: “…”
"And that was..." Zhou Chunming recalled, and then said, "In 86, you stabbed a man who was pulling a sling, and broke his shoulder."
Such violent incidents in the forest area must be reported. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious, and the security team could not find the old mountain dog, so that was the end of it.
At this time, Xing San was a little dissatisfied. He had his reasons for taking action. It was because those people were dishonest and wanted to steal the roe deer he had caught.
But because of Zhao Hong's performance this morning, the old man, who never despised lying in his life, made up a lie and said, "You remembered it wrong. That was not me. That was Qin Dajiang."
Xing San was smart. He knew how to put the blame on a dead person so that there would be no evidence.
But after hearing his words, Zhou Chunming laughed and said, "Brother, who asked Qin Dajiang's third son to stab him in the first two months?"
Xing San: “…”
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, the old man raised his hand to take off the cigarette from his ear and put it in his mouth, with a look of indifference on Xing San's face.
Today is the Little New Year, some relatives came to my house and had a meal. I have finished updating today, and it will be late to update, probably around 1:00.
