Tie Kui Extra Story (Fifty-Six)
Duan Dongzi didn't intend to make a sound at first, but seeing the two children's faces flushed from the cold, he still called them into the house.
Chunni said, "What are you doing back here?"
Webster said: "The weather suddenly turned cold, and Alang and I came back specially to see you."
Chunni asked with a bad face: "Since you know the weather is getting cold, why did you come back empty-handed? Don't you know how to buy something for your grandfather?" Anything like a leather case or hat is fine. It doesn't need a lot of money, but it's also a thought. As a result, the two returned empty-handed.
When Webster heard this, tears came down: "Mother, it's not that my daughter-in-law doesn't want to buy you something for the winter, but the family really has no money. The children have been with us for more than half a month and don't know what meat tastes like? "
Kai Geer, who was held in Duan Dongzi's arms, responded, "Fatty, I want to eat meat."
Chunni didn't care about scolding Webster any longer, she patted Kaige'er's head distressedly and said, "Okay, grandma will make meatballs for you later."
When Duan Honglang's family came back, Chunni was very worried that Tiehu would drive them away. As a result, Tiehu went out to visit. Lunch is eaten at Ershui's house.
He didn't come back until evening.
When Duan Honglang saw Tiehu, he greeted him with a smile on his face: "Grandfather..." After finishing speaking, he still wanted to step forward to support him.
Tie Hu avoided Duan Honglang, and said with a blank face: "I didn't let anyone beat you out, because I didn't want your parents to be sad. But you have already been separated, so go back to your own house tomorrow! It's okay, don't worry about it." Come again." No matter how bad Duan Honglang was, it was the flesh that fell from Chunni's body. If he goes too far, it will be Chunni who is sad and difficult to do.
Duan Honglang's expression twisted for a moment. Back then when he insisted on marrying Wei Shi, Chunni and Duan Dongzi had already softened, only Tiehu firmly opposed it. Later, Webster's bead conceived secretly, and he married Webster as he wished. But he didn't expect that Tiehu would separate him on the third day of their marriage, without any room for negotiation. What made Duan Honglang most angry was that, except for the sixty taels of silver, he didn't have any other property in the family.
Duan Honglang was chilled by Tiehu, so he lived in the county after the separation and never came back during the holidays.
Although Tiehu had gone too far in this matter, Chunni and Duan Dongzi did not treat them badly. The house that the couple bought in the county was paid by Chunni. If not, Chunni's money will not be tight.
Thinking of all the injustices in the past, Duan Honglang asked loudly: "Grandfather, no matter what, I am also your grandson, why do you hate me so much?"
Tiehu turned his head,
Looking at Duan Honglang, he said, "Since I was young, have I treated you three brothers differently?" Even if Duan Honglang followed Duan Dongzi's surname, he didn't treat them differently. What Hongbo and Honglin have, so does he.
Duan Honglang said unwillingly: "Yes, when you were young, you treated our three brothers the same. But if it was the eldest brother or Honglin, would you only give sixty taels of silver when we separated?"
Tie Hu looked a little cold, and said: "Hongbo and Honglin can't do anything against their elders, let alone use the trick of getting pregnant before marriage to force us to submit."
Duan Honglang said very sadly: "Grandfather, I have no choice. Without Xiaoling, I can't live."
"Yes, without Webster, you can't live. If you don't sever ties with us, you will die. Anyway, you always have to." After finishing speaking, Tiehu sneered: "Duan Honglang, we have done our best to be elders. Responsibilities and obligations, if you live well in the future, it is your ability; if you live poorly, it is also your incompetence."
Having lived in Tie's family for eighteen years, how could he not know Tiehu's temperament. Now that he said this, it can be seen that he has made up his mind to ignore him. Duan Honglang said with red eyes: "Honglin can go to Shengjing to study, and elder brother can be the chief bookkeeper. Could it be that they are also relying on their own abilities?"
He refused to accept that they are both parents' children, why the treatment is so different. Thinking of this, Duan Honglang said bitterly: "Just because my surname is Duan, and their surname is Tie? But it is your decision to have my surname Duan, not my own."
Duan Dongzi was very upset when he heard this.
Peng Shu was the most upright. He couldn't help it anymore after hearing this, and said with disdain: "You are fickle. When the Tie family was in trouble, you said that your surname was Duan and immediately severed ties with the Tie family. Now we know that our general has gained power." Became an uncle, and the uncle became the chief bookkeeper in the county government. You see the advantages and feel that the surname Duan has dragged you down. Why, you should take advantage of the co-authorship. But in this world, there is no such thing as cheap. "
These words peeled off the layer of skin on Duan Honglang's face.
Tie Hu said to Duan Honglang: "You always feel that we have treated you badly, but have you ever thought about who raised you? Who gave you education and literacy? Who paid for you to marry a wife and divide the money for you?" , and even used money to buy you a house in the county seat? Duan Honglang, you only have your own interests in mind, and you don’t have any of our elders. Why did you come back this time? It’s just that you are jealous of Hongbo as the master book, and you also want to Let us find you an official post. With your virtue, if we really find you an errand, you won’t be able to harm the people in all over the world.”
Duan Honglang turned purple with anger.
It's a pity that before he could speak, Tiehu asked Ah Shao to drive the family of four out.
Then, Tie Hu said to Chun Ni: "As long as he has the intention of repenting, I will not care about the past with him. It is a pity that not only did he not repent, but he even hated me. I can't bear such children and grandchildren." ...Chunni, Dongzi, let me say this for the last time, they are not allowed to enter the house again. If not, you should go with him!"
Chunni's face turned pale and pale.
Cai Datou suddenly said: "Master, it's snowing again." This time, it was snowing like goose feathers.
Before the sudden drop in temperature, Tiehu carried it over. But this time Tiehu couldn't hold it back, he caught a cold and had a fever. Fortunately, Ah Shao invited a doctor from the county seat, and after taking the medicine for three days, most of his health will be healed.
Tie Hu leaned against the head of the bed, and said with a serious face: "A Shao, do you think it is still possible to fight in such a cold day?"
A Shao said: "On such a day, there must be a truce. Don't worry about the grandfather, no matter what, the uncle will not be frozen. Maybe the uncle will come back to visit you as soon as the truce is reached!"
Originally, the words were just to comfort Tie Hu, but after a few days, Ning Hai really came back.
Mrs. Fu was peeling potatoes in the corridor when she suddenly heard the sound of sonorous footsteps. Soon, a group of people walked in from the outside, and the man at the head was wearing an armor with an astonishing imposing manner.
Looking at these people, Fu's face turned pale with fright. In fact, these people are too hostile to be scary. But when the guard at home called the leading man Uncle, Fu finally realized that this was Tie Kui's return.
But when she came back to her senses and wanted to call someone, Ning Hai had already gone into the house to visit Tie Hu.
Throwing down the potatoes in his hand, Mrs. Fu ran to the cellar and said to Chun Ni who was holding two Chinese cabbages: "Mother, uncle is back. Mother, uncle is back." Don't be too excited when you say this up.
Chunni dropped two Chinese cabbages, and quickly crawled out of the cellar to her father's room.
Walking into the room, he saw Tie Hu hugging Tie Kui, crying. Chunni couldn't help but shed tears as she thought about what she had experienced in the past few years: "Brother, you are finally back." Tiehu is the backbone of the family, and Tiekui is the pillar of their family. As long as Tie Kui is around, they will not be afraid no matter how difficult it is.
Ning Hai was also very guilty, and said: "Father, Second Sister, I'm sorry, I caused you to suffer."
Chunni wiped her tears and said: "We are a family, we don't care if we are involved or not. In the past few years, we have been worried about your safety. Now that you are safe and sound, we are relieved."
Tiehu calmed down and asked, "Kuizi, why are you back?"
"It's snowing heavily, and there's a temporary truce. I'm worried about my family, so I asked the emperor to leave for a few days and come back to visit my father. Dad, I'm going back to the barracks tomorrow." That is because the heavy snow hindered the army's progress. Shengjing has already been taken down.
Chunni was startled: "So fast?"
Tie Hu could understand it, and said: "Now that the war is going on, it's not easy for your younger brother to come back, so how can we stay longer." If you delay the business, it may affect your future.
Chun Ni nodded and said: "Brother, then you can talk with Dad, and I will cook." After going out, Chun Ni caught an old hen and killed it.
After hearing what Ning Hai had experienced in the capital this year, Tie Hu couldn't calm down for a long time. He really didn't expect that his son's situation in the capital would be so dangerous. Several times, almost lost his life.
"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have let you join the army." In this way, my son would not have to suffer so much.
The path of joining the army was his own decision to take, and even now he has not regretted taking this path.
Ning Hai changed the subject and brought up the matter of Chunxiang: "Ah Shao wrote to me and told me, Daddy, you want to kill Shao Lili to avenge the elder sister?"
"Yes, I want him to pay for Chunxiang's life."
Ning Hai said: "Father, the elder sister committed suicide, not Shao Lili. Even the Yamen cannot hold Shao Lili accountable."
Tie Hu grabbed Ning Hai's hand, feeling very emotional: "Kuizi, he was the one who killed Chunxiang. Kuizi, you must kill him to avenge Chunxiang."
Ning Hai shook his head and said, "Father, I can't abuse my real power. If I don't get a reference from the imperial censor, the empress and empress can't protect me. And if I do this, how will I be different from those gentry bullies who bully others?" Let him abuse real power To kill Shao Lili, he would definitely not do such a thing as giving someone a handle.
"Could it be that your eldest sister died in vain like this?"
It is not advisable to go to a dead end for such an ungrateful man. It's just that the deceased has passed, and he doesn't comment much on it.
Ning Hai said: "Father, killing him actually made him cheaper. Let him live the rest of his life in poverty, living in regret and pain every day, is the real revenge for eldest sister." From frugality to extravagance, It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. From a rich family with a lot of money to a penniless old farmer, he believed that Shao Lili would not be able to bear this kind of gap.
After listening to Ning Hai's words, Tie Hu said: "Then let me see first." If Shao Lili's life is worse than death, let him fend for himself. If he is still alive and well, then he has to find a way to kill him.
