Chapter 182 Shocking News
Tang Caiyun was stunned at first, then she grabbed Qin Huiyin's hand in surprise: "Huiyin, are you telling the truth?"
Old Mrs. Deng and Deng Gui trotted out.
Shocked expressions appeared on the two similar faces.
"Where is that bitch you mentioned now?" asked Old Lady Deng.
Qin Huiyin ignored her and continued to say to Tang Caiyun, "When I met her in the city, she was being picked up by the county magistrate's son's servant. She said you didn't know where she had gone, so I came here to help her pass on a message so that you wouldn't worry about her. Now that the message has been delivered, I have to go back too, otherwise it will be dark."
"Huiyin, thank you." Tang Caiyun cried with joy.
Qin Huiyin replied, "You're welcome," and glanced at Old Lady Deng and Deng Gui. "Aunt, cousin Shaoyao will come back to see you. You must take good care of yourself."
Deng Gui curled his lips and said, "That money-losing girl is really capable. She can even get into the county government office. Forget it. Even though I am working as a maid for others, at least I can earn wages. It's not like I'm eating for free."
Qin Huiyin was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and followed Zhang Dazhui away on the mule.
As soon as Qin Huiyin left, Old Lady Deng asked Deng Gui, "If you can't sell that girl, what will you do with your gambling debts? Ten taels of silver is not a small amount, and our family can't afford it."
"My daughter works at the county government office, and she's the maid of the county magistrate's son. Do those people dare come to collect their debts?" Deng Gui said proudly. "When I win, how much silver do you want?"
Tang Caiyun opened her mouth but said nothing in the end.
My daughter made the right decision to leave. If she hadn't left today, that bastard Deng Gui would have sold her to a brothel to be a prostitute. Although she was now imprisoned in the mansion as a maid, being a maid and being a prostitute were two different things. Moreover, the county magistrate was a good one, and his family never oppressed the people. Shaoyao was lucky to be able to work as a maid in the county government, and it could also help her avoid this disaster.
Tang Caiyun clasped her hands together and said, "Amitabha, thank you, Bodhisattva."
Deng Gui kicked him and said, "What are you talking about? Go and cook, I'm hungry."
Tang Caiyun fell to the ground, her knees banging against the rocks. Her trouser legs, already patched, were now ripped, and her knees were also scratched.
She endured the pain and climbed to her feet. To her, this little pain was nothing. As long as her daughter was well, she could endure this torture every day.
When Qin Huiyin and Zhang Dazhui rushed back to the village, it was just getting dark.
Li Taohua was waiting for them outside the yard. Seeing them come back, she called out inside, "They're back."
"Today, everything is thanks to Brother Dazhu. Brother Dazhu, thank you." Qin Huiyin thanked Zhang Dazhu.
"You're welcome, sister. If you need me in the future, just tell me. I'm not very smart, but I'm strong. Leave the heavy lifting to me."
"Dazhu, come to my house for dinner today!" Li Taohua made an invitation.
"No thanks, Aunt Taohua. It's rare for your family to get together, so we won't disturb you." Zhang Dazhu said, and then asked Qin Huiyin, "How do you build the mule cart you mentioned?"
"I'll draw it for you tomorrow."
"Then let me take care of these two mules. My cousin and I will go cut some grass to feed them later."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you to take care of." Qin Huiyin said, "We'll need their cooperation when we build the cart, so it would be a good idea for you to get along with them in advance."
Li Taohua pulled Qin Huiyin into the yard.
"The food is ready, just waiting for you to come back."
"What did you do today? It smells so good!" Qin Huiyin sniffed the air.
"Luwu is becoming more and more capable now, and she is really becoming more and more like you." Li Taohua praised Tang Luwu highly.
"That's all thanks to mother's good teaching." Qin Huiyin coaxed sweetly.
"Stop it. You're just a sweetheart, just trying to coax me." Li Taohua tapped her lips. "Okay, wash your hands and eat!"
"Where's Uncle Tang?" Qin Huiyin looked around.
"I'm here." Tang Dafu closed the chicken coop and walked over with his cane. "Your eldest brother's fever has just subsided and he's resting in there. Let's not disturb him and let him get enough sleep first."
"I'll go and take a look." Qin Huiyin said.
Qin Huiyin entered Tang Yichen's room and saw him lying there, wrapped up tightly. She touched his forehead, confirmed that his fever had subsided, and quietly left.
"Big brother can't eat greasy food these two days, so don't save these for him. I'll make him some lean meat porridge later. Tomorrow I'll go to the river and catch a fish and steam it for him."
"The porridge is cooking on the stove. He can eat it when he wakes up." Tang Luwu brought out the dishes. "Yinyin, you've been busy all day. You must be hungry. Eat first."
Tang Dafu hadn't eaten with his family for a long time. He diligently picked up some food for Li Taohua and looked at his two increasingly beautiful daughters. He suddenly felt that it would be nice to keep it this way.
Qin Huiyin mentioned Deng Shaoyao.
Li Taohua praised her, "This girl is quite brave, unlike her mother. Fortunately, she is not like her mother, otherwise she would have been like that for the rest of her life."
"Mom, do you think my uncle will stop and not bully my aunt anymore?" Tang Luwu asked.
"This kind of stinky man is beyond help. Don't expect him to suddenly have a conscience. But if Deng Shaoyao can stand up, your aunt's life will be much better." Li Taohua said.
It took several days for Tang Yichen to gradually recover from his illness.
He wanted to read, but Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu took turns watching him, not allowing him to stay up late and work hard.
When Tang Yichen was completely recovered, the time for the college entrance examination came. Tang Yichen entered the examination room with the blessings of his whole family.
Tang Yichen had passed the county examination and the prefectural examination before, and after passing this academy examination he would become a scholar.
Tang Dafu and his wife, Qin Huiyin, and Tang Luwu, brother and sister, all stood at the entrance of the examination room and watched Tang Yichen enter before leaving.
Tang Yichen would be taking exams for several days, and they couldn't possibly be here to watch over him, so after sending him in, they continued with their work.
Tang Dafu's leg has almost recovered, and it's time to remove the wooden board on his leg.
So after sending Tang Yichen off, their first stop was to go to the clinic to see Dr. Ding for a follow-up consultation.
"Brother Peng, where is the master?" Tang Yi asked the medicine boy in front of the medicine cabinet with a smile.
"He goes to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion on this day every month," the medicine boy said. "I guess he's going there to look for a girl again!"
Tang Dafu frowned: "Your master is so vulgar? Xiao'er, is it okay to learn from him?"
Tang Yi's face flushed with laughter: "Master is usually very nice and doesn't go to those places."
"He doesn't go there regularly, only one day a month," Xiao Peng said. "Apart from that, he's pretty reliable. Don't worry, he's a reliable person."
