Chapter 22: Haunting in the dark
Zhao Tiezhu accelerated his pace to Lin Xiuniang's house and saw Lin Xiuniang sitting in a daze in the hall, Xiaoqing doing her homework.
"Xiang Niang, what happened?" Zhao Tiezhu asked as soon as he entered the door.
Lin Xiuniang raised her head and saw Zhao Tiezhu. A light flashed in her eyes, but her expression soon became dim again, and she said, "Zhuzi, Xiaoqing may be withdrawn from school."
"What's wrong? What's going on? How could a good thing be dropped out of school?"
"It's Cai Long. Cai Long came again the day before yesterday. I drove him out. He threatened me, Xiaoqing, might be dropped out of school!" Lin Xiuniang said, her eyes also turned red. Xiaoqing was her only hope for the orphans and widows. If she couldn't study, she would not have the chance to make a name for herself in the future and would have no future.
For rural people, studying is almost the only way to go to the mountain village. If you are dropped out of school, it will be troublesome in the future.
"Damn it, he dares, why did he tell you?" Zhao Tiezhu clenched his fist and asked in anger.
"Xiaoqing studied in the next village, and he had a good time with the second-rate people in the next village. One of them was the principal of the primary school in the next village. There was no school in our Yuxi Village. There was a family nearby in the next village. I was dropped out of school in the future and I couldn't go to school again!"
"I think he is uncomfortable. I will look for him when I look back. Don't worry about Xiaoqing. If he dares to let Xiaoqing drop out of school, I will break his leg." Zhao Tiezhu's face was stern. Xiuniang was the important woman in his heart. It was simply a violation of the stranger's life.
"Zhuzi, don't make any trouble in impulse. Xiaoqing can't study, so she will be dead. Don't drag you down." Lin Xiuniang said worriedly.
"Xiang Niang, what are you talking about? Since I want to marry you in the future, Xiaoqing will be my daughter in the future. Who will bully her?" Zhao Tiezhu said clearly.
Lin Xiuniang was moved in her obedient heart, and tears remained unscrupulously. Zhao Tiezhu hurriedly comforted her: "Xiang Niang, don't worry, with me here, no one dares to bully you, mother and mother."
Just then, someone shouted outside the door.
"Is Lin Xiuniang at home?"
Who is here? When Zhao Tiezhu went out, he saw that the person came from the village chief Qian Zhong and Wang Daxuan.
"Hey, Zhao Tiezhu, why are you here?" Qian Zhong is old and his eyes are not very good, but when he looked closer, he saw that it was Zhao Tiezhu and he said in confusion.
"Why can't I come? This is not your house." Zhao Tiezhu stood at the door and sneered. Qian Zhong was not kind enough. How could he go to a widow's house if he had nothing to do.
"I said Zhao Tiezhu, why are you talking so aggressively? Do you still take me, the village chief, seriously?" Qian Zhong glared and shouted.
"I still know that it is our village chief. When I help outsiders, why don't I stand by our side and even provide cover for Wang Laizi. I think what village chief you are?"
"Tiezhu, what are you talking about? Village Chief Qian is not that kind of person. Isn't it just for Yuxi Village to work diligently? Wang Laizi wants to plant fruit trees and rent this land to him. Maybe he can get a dividend and not farm, right?" Wang Daxuan persuaded seriously, nodding and bowing to Qian Zhong.
Zhao Tiezhu sneered at his behavior and said, "Why don't you need your land?"
Wang Daxuan was stunned, but he couldn't say anything. He was unwilling to give up the land. Everyone knew that Wang Laizi, who was greedy for cheap people, might not get a penny if he gave it to him.
"That was the decision of the village committee, and the village committee director also agreed to this matter. Are you quarrel with us?"
"Officials protect each other, no one knows that the village committee's group is not good. What should you do in the future? Don't involve us, otherwise you will pull them all out!" Zhao Tiezhu raised his hand and clenched his fists, twisting his creaking sound.
Thinking of Zhao Tiezhu's hard-pulling fruit tree yesterday, Qian Zhong felt cold, but he snorted coldly on his face and said, "Didn't I come to find you today? Is Lin Xiuniang at home?"
At this time, Lin Xiuniang walked out and said, "I'm here, what's the matter with me?"
"We can go into the house and talk about it?" Wang Daxuan suggested seeing that it was not good to stand on both sides.
Lin Xiuniang invited the two of them in, and Lin Xiuniang called Xiaoqing back to the room and sat down.
"Zhao Tiezhu, what are you doing here? This matter is not your business. Go and do whatever you should do." Qian Zhong felt a little uneasy when he saw that Zhao Tiezhu was still there and wanted to drive him away.
"What's wrong? I'm willing to stay and not give it to me? Or is there anything shameful?" Zhao Tiezhu couldn't get him to what he wanted.
"This matter really has nothing to do with you. Tiezhu, you'd better go back." Wang Daxuan echoed.
"I have to see what's going on. If something is unfair, I can still uphold justice." He said with a righteous look, looking completely aimed at Qian Zhong.
Since Zhao Tiezhu has become much stronger and has thoughts about the future, and has become much more courageous. He used to be without money or power, but he was still afraid of money for a few minutes, but now he is not afraid of him.
"Village Chief, just say you're asking me for something, right?" Lin Xiuniang asked directly from the side.
"That's right. Cai Long came to tell me yesterday that his brother Cai Yang had a house before his death, saying that he had left it for you, but the land was eight acres, but he didn't say that he would leave it for your mother. He sued me for the lawsuit. According to reason, he was Cai Yang's brother, and he had to give him a half. In the past, he didn't want to ask for it from you. Now he seems to have divided the land again, so he told me about this."
"What? How can the land be distributed to him?" Lin Xiuniang slapped the table and said angrily.
"The fact is here. I am the village chief. I have to be fair in doing things. It is reasonable and he will share the land of his biological brother Cai Yang. It's hard for me to understand." Qian Zhong looked embarrassed.
"I think he just wants to do it." Zhao Tiezhu snorted coldly.
"Although Cai Long is not a good person in normal times, he is a member of the Cai family after all. Now he has no relatives and no reason. It is worth going back to support his family!" Wang Daxuan said as he played the sympathy card.
"He Cai Long has long been broken off from the Cai family. When he was taking drugs, he was scolded by Cai Yang and drove him out. He no longer recognized him. He was no longer a member of the Cai family. Moreover, sometimes he asked me to come here before, and I even gave him some, but he didn't go to buy pills, so he went to take the showerhead. How could he farm honestly?" Lin Xiuniang retorted, but she didn't expect that Cai Long was still thinking about his brother's inheritance!
"As for what you said, we don't know. Is there a suicide note left by Cai Yang? Or a document to cut off relations with Cai Long? If so, we won't be confused about this matter. Who should be the one who should be the one." Qian Zhong pointed and said.
"This, Cai Yang has never left a suicide note, but he told me personally, so he broke off his relationship with Cai Long. How could he write any documents?" Lin Xiuniang was angry. A farmer didn't understand the strangeness. He didn't know how to break the relationship and even make a document!
"Then you can't bring out these things, and he found the village committee again. This matter is difficult. After all, he is making sense to pay for the land now, right?" Qian Zhongming was just making things difficult for her. If Lin Xiuniang couldn't take out these things, she would have to score for Cai Long.
"Cai Long's second-rate boy is obviously bullying the orphan and widowed mother. This is how your village committee does it?" Zhao Tiezhu couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the table and said.
"Tiezhu, you don't have to interfere in this matter. Do you don't understand this? No matter what Cai Long does, it's reasonable to do things." Wang Daxuan beat the drums aside.
"No, I don't agree. We two have lived on these eight acres of land all year round. If we were separated, let us two live like this?" Lin Xiuniang was firm in her attitude and would never let Cai Long succeed.
"When he finds us, he will do whatever we want, and it will be difficult to do."
"Let him come to me!"
Zhao Tiezhu rose up and stared at the two of them with a high voice. It was obvious that he was helping Cai Long come to ask for the land. How could he speak well?
"Zhao Tiezhu, you'd better take care of yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you!" Qian Zhong said sternly.
"I think you have to take care of your own affairs, hehe." Zhao Tiezhu looked at Qian Zhong's head, as if a huge cuckold was buckled on his head.
Qian Zhong was unclear, so he looked up at his head, but didn't find anything. He snorted coldly and said, "If he insisted on breaking up this matter, we can't do anything. Then you would talk to him unless he didn't want it."
"No problem, I will convince him." Zhao Tiezhu curled his lips and smiled.
Lin Xiuniang looked at Zhao Tiezhu worriedly. Qian Zhong saw this, but he couldn't say anything, so he took Wang Daxuan away.
Seeing the two men walking away, Zhao Tiezhu smashed his iron fist at the door and said sternly: "I think Cai Long is just trying to force you!"
Lin Xiuniang sighed. If it weren't for Zhao Tiezhu, she would have no choice. If she hadn't had a man to rely on, she wouldn't be able to live in the future.
Zhao Tiezhu entered the hall, put Lin Xiu Nianglou in his arms, comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell me how to deal with this matter, and I guarantee that Cai Long will not come to cause trouble for you again in the future!"
She leaned her head on his chest, feeling thick and reliable. After listening to Zhao Tiezhu's words, she said worriedly: "Don't do stupid things."
"How could I be that kind of stupid person? You believe me."
"Yeah, I believe in you!"
The two embraced each other, and the shadows were reflected on the window. The night was silent outside the window, and the wind rustled the trees.
In Qian Zhong's house in the village, there is a two-story western-style building. In the whole village, the village chief's house looks beautiful. The outer walls are decorated with iron columns, which are somewhat European and American.
But the entrance of the small building was surrounded by an open space as the front yard, and a large iron door was built to look inappropriate.
At this time, a figure appeared in the darkness at the door.
"Dongdong" knocked on the door.
"Is Village Chief Qian at home?" the figure in the dark shouted.
"What's the matter? It's this night!" Liu Ping came out of the house and said naggingly.
She opened the door and saw Cai Long under the light.
"Are you here? Find my old money?" Liu Ping knew him. The village had a bad reputation and didn't like him, so she didn't have any good looks.
Cai Long glanced at Liu Ping's arrogant mountain peak, the gullies exposed on his loose pajamas, swallowed secretly, and cursed the slut in his heart, but asked respectfully on his face: "Yes, yes, I'll look for Village Chief Qian."
"He has been out for a while, and he said it's almost time to come back. You can wait a moment." Liu Ping said as she led Cai Long into the door.
Cai Long followed behind, looking at his swaying figure, and drooling. Old Man Qian is so old and his wife is still so beautiful.
After entering the door, Liu Ping asked him to wait, but he didn't even ask him to go upstairs. Cai Long secretly scolded him for being lowly, saying that one day he would have to sleep with her!
Not long after, a sound came from the door. Cai Long stood up to look and found that Qian Zhong was back.
"Oh, Village Chief Qian is finally back."
"You, why are you here?" Qian Zhong saw Cai Long, looked around nervously, quickly closed the door, took Cai Long into the house, and closed the door.
"Didn't I tell you not to come to my house?" Qian Zhong scolded with a straight face.
"Yes, yes, you are going to Lin Xiu's parents' home. I'm in a hurry to ask for those acres of land, so I can sell it to you at that time." Cai Long said with a flattering look on his face.
"Are you going to bet again?"
"You know this, too?"
"Or you wouldn't be so anxious to come to me!"
