Husband and Father Youwei

Chapter 73 The Dust Has Settled

  Ruan Tang has been waiting at home for a long time. Although Tu Lin's arrangements are very proper and comprehensive, but there are no absolutes in the world, but before everything is settled, he still has some worries. Fortunately, Tu Lin came back very quickly, and when he saw Tu Lin entering the door safely, he was finally really at ease.

June was the hottest day, and Tu Lin walked all the way from Lijiagou back to Zhuxi Village under the scorching sun. When he got home, his thin clothes were already drenched in sweat, and his skin was reddened by the sun.

Ruan Tang didn't care to ask about the situation at Tu's house, so he hurriedly asked him to wash it, and went back to the house to get clean clothes for him. After Tu Lin tidied up again, the two went into the back room to sit and talk.

The inside of the room is not as hot as the outside, because there are three large basins of ice cubes scattered around the corner table, exuding a refreshing cool air. There were quite a lot of ice cubes that Tu Lin got from the frozen stream in front of the village last winter. Most of them are stored in the space now, and only a small part is stored in the cellar to hide the eyes and ears.

Now Ruan Tang has been pregnant for more than six months, and her belly is getting bigger and bigger. The summer clothes are already thin, so it is very obvious that she is pregnant, and all kinds of discomforts during pregnancy are also revealed one by one. Tu Lin couldn't replace him with his body, so he could only try to relieve Ruan Tang a little.

Although the effect of this ice cube is far less than that of the air conditioner fan, but he put more of it, it can also make the room cooler, and Ruan Tang can feel better.

After walking for less than half an hour, although Tu Lin was not tired, he sweated a lot and was still a little thirsty. After drinking two bowls of tea, he slowly told everyone what happened when he went to Tu's house today. Ruan Tang listened.

Ruan Tang listened quietly all the time, and when Li Shi and Tu Wendong were shocked when they heard the guard pronounce Tu Wendong's name, his expressions didn't change much. He had expected this, and Li Shi and Tu Wendong had done so many evil things, so it was karma.

It's just that when Tu Lin said that Li Shi wanted Tu Wenqiang to replace Tu Wendong in order to save Tu Wendong, he still couldn't help showing a look of surprise, and then shook his head with some emotion.

It can be said that Li's harsh treatment of Tu Lin was due to the fact that she was not her own, and she had an old grudge, but Tu Wenqiang was born in her October womb, and she loved her since she was a child, but she can give up as soon as she can, especially to save another son. To Tu Wendong, Li Shi may be the best mother in the world, but to Tu Wenqiang, she is the most disappointing and chilling mother in the world.

Although Tu Wendong's life has been turned on a difficult, bumpy and unpredictable road under Tu Lin's design, the future of the Li family and the Tu family is still unknown at this time. can get the answer.

Sure enough, sooner than he expected, Tu Wenqiang came to Lijiagou again on the evening of the second day of conscription. It's just that compared with the previous two times, his appearance this time is very miserable.

The whole face was swollen, and there were layers and layers of palm prints on the cheeks, and even the forehead was wrapped in a thick white cloth, as if he had suffered a serious injury. As for the person who made Tu Wenqiang look like this, Tu Lin could guess without questioning that it must be Mrs. Li.

Soon, under Tu Wenqiang's hoarse narration, Tu Lin's guess was confirmed.

Yesterday, just two hours after Tu Lin left, Mrs. Li really woke up. And when she learned that Tu Wendong was taken away by the guards in the end, and that Tu Wenqiang did not replace Tu Wendong as she said, she suddenly went crazy, yelling at Tu Wenqiang, even picked up the teacup by the bed and He smashed towards Tu Wenqiang fiercely.

Tu Wenqiang had no time to dodge, his forehead was hit squarely by the teacup, and blood gushed out instantly. But what happened to Tu Wendong had already made Li Shi lose her mind, and she thought it wasn't enough, so she rushed to Tu Wenqiang's side and started fighting him desperately. On Tu Wenqiang's body that Tu Lin couldn't see, there were actually more scars.

And Tu Wenqiang didn't know whether he was guilty or completely heartbroken, but he didn't hide or evade, and let Mrs. Li beat and scold him. In the end, Father Tu couldn't stand it anymore, so he went up and stopped Li Shi, and finally mentioned Tu Wendong, saying that he wanted to discuss how to save Tu Wendong, so that Li Shi finally regained some sense.

It's just that it's already midnight, and the gate of the county seat has long been closed. Even if you want to save Tu Wendong, you have to wait until tomorrow morning. But Mrs. Li couldn't wait for a moment, so she asked Tu Wenqiang, who was still bleeding heavily, to set up an ox cart and take her to the county seat.

Only then did Tu Wenqiang move. He went back to the house and simply asked his wife, Mrs. Song, to wrap his head. Then he followed Mrs. Li's instructions and went to the backyard to hitch an ox cart, and then took Mrs. Tu and Mrs. Li to the county seat.

The gate of the county seat is naturally closed, so Li, a country woman, can only wait outside the gate. During this period, she thought of Tu Lin, and wanted to go to Tu's house to make a big fuss.

Tu Wendong is her lifeline, and now that her lifeblood has been pulled out, she has nothing to fear, even if she sacrifices her life, she must make Tu Lin look good. But Father Tu showed her a piece of paper, which was thrown to him by Tu Lin when he left Lijiagou. It was also when they went to the county government to change their registration. The piece of paper under your name.

Mrs. Li didn't understand what was going on at first, but Father Tu had already figured everything out. The household registration paper fell into the hands of Tu Lin, which means that the Tu Lin family never joined the Tu family, and Tu Lin was able to get this paper because he had a close relationship with the scribe or other people in the county government .

And they obviously reported Tu Lin's name, but if Tu Lin's household registration is not in Tu's family, the county government can't match the name and realize that there is a mistake, so they should ask them to report again. The name finally became Tu Wendong again?

But if Tu Lin knew the people in the county government, then everything would make sense. Tu Lin first pretended to go with them to join the registration, and with the help of the insider in the county government, he let them think that the joint registration was successful, but it was not the case. At the same time, Tu Lin also asked the insider to write Tu Wendong's name on the conscription list .

Tu Lin's household registration is not in the Tu family, but Tu Wendong is, so the county government naturally does not feel that there is a mistake. And they were designed by Tu Lin, thinking that everything was going as smoothly as they planned, how could they have thought that Tu Lin knew everything, and colluded with the county government to deceive them, and even killed Tu Wendong

... At this point, Father Tu couldn't help but sighed dejectedly. At the beginning, he never thought that after all their planning, they ended up getting his second son who was the most important to him. But thinking about their previous scheme against Tu Lin, he also He doesn't have the face to blame Tu Lin for being cruel...

If he hadn't listened to Mrs. Li back then, but had honestly handed over the sixteen taels of silver, he would not have come to where he is today.

Father Tu regretted it, but Li Shi was really scared at the moment. She never thought that Tu Lin still has someone she knows in the county government office, and Tu Wendong is in the county government office at the moment, if Tu Lin wants to do something to Tu Wendong, then Tu Wendong will become meat on the chopping board Thinking

of this, Mrs. Li broke out in a cold sweat. At this moment, she had no intention of going to trouble Tu Lin anymore, and only hoped that when the city gate opened, she would rush into the city to find Tu Wendong's father-in-law, Mrs. Wen. , Regardless of giving up money or people, Tu Wendong must be rescued.

However, when the city gate was opened, Mrs. Li found Mrs. Wen, and she didn't care to explain the ins and outs, so she had to tell Mrs. Wen about Tu Wendong's current situation and asked Mrs. Wen to take them to the county government to save people, but Tu Wendong was already in the city. As soon as the door opened, the escort officer led other strong men recruited from various places out of the city and left, so that Mrs. Li and the others could not even see the last face.

The matter has come to this point, even Mrs. Wen is helpless, especially after learning the whole story from Tu Wenqiang, he is even more annoyed that Mrs. Li and Mrs. Tu made troubles and harmed his son-in-law's future, and then he does not want to pay any attention to Mrs. Tu and Mrs. Li Shi, returned home with her daughter and granddaughter who were a little confused by this sudden change.

It will take at least five years for the son-in-law to serve in the army, and whether he will be able to come back in the end is up to him. He can't ignore his daughter and granddaughter. Although the daughter is still the daughter-in-law of the Tu family at this time, and the granddaughter's surname is also Tu, Mrs. Wen is hating Tu's father and Mrs. Li, but he is unwilling to let the mother and son return to the Tu family no matter what, and Mrs. Li is no longer caring about it. Daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

Just as Tu Lin thought before, although Tu Wendong's joining the army is irreversible, the Northland is thousands of miles away from Fengyang, and the journey is long and difficult. How can Tu Wendong, a frail scholar, stand it? Ten thousand people were worried, so she decided to accompany Tu Wendong to go north. Naturally, she couldn't be the only woman and child going alone, so she planned to ask the whole Tu family to go with her.

Regarding this, before Tu Wenqiang said anything, Father Tu flatly refused. He is now in his fifties, and has lived in Lijiagou for decades. Now that he is asked to abandon his family and business and travel all the way, he is still going to such a dangerous place as the border of the Northland. How can he bear it? .

Mrs. Li didn't want Tu Fu to reject him, so she asked Tu Fu whether he didn't care about his son? To this, Tu Fu's response was silence. Sons are naturally important, but Father Tu would not just get involved with himself just for the sake of a son, after all he doesn't only have one son.

When Tu Fu abandoned Tu Lin in the past, Li Shi only felt happy, but today it was Tu Wendong's turn to be abandoned by Tu Fu, but Li Shi couldn't accept it at all. The vicious words were all used on Tu Fu. Although Father Tu usually obeys Li Shi, when it comes to himself, he is unprecedentedly resolute and tough. He almost fought with Li Shi, but was stopped by Tu Wenqiang in the end.

Li's female class, in the end, couldn't beat Tu Fu, and finally limp and disheartened, but she didn't give up just yet. Even if Tu Fu didn't go, she would still go, so she asked Tu Wenqiang to go to the county seat to find out how the team escorting the strong men went north, while she packed her things at home and was ready to wait for Tu Wenqiang to come back, so she asked Tu Wenqiang to take her to find Tu Wendong.

Although Tu Wenqiang was chilled by Li Shi, Li Shi was a mother after all, so she agreed, just thinking about taking this last trip and sending Tu Wendong to the Northland in a safe and sound way. mutual affection.

After going to the county government to inquire, Tu Wenqiang did not forget to come to Zhuxi Village to inform Tu Lin.

After Tu Lin listened to Tu Wenqiang's narration, there was only one thought in his mind—Father Tu was even colder than he imagined. The eldest son who loved him since he was a child was stupid and could not count on him, so he was thrown out and left to fend for himself. The second son who loved and had high hopes was also abandoned without hesitation after cutting off his future. Father Tu also said that the last sentence was fair.

After Tu Wenqiang finished speaking, he planned to leave. Tu Lin sent him out, and reminded Tu Wenqiang that when he caught up with Tu Wendong, Li might force him to replace Tu Wendong, so he had better be prepared.

Tu Wenqiang had already thought of this, but he wasn't worried. As long as he bites him to death and doesn't let go, Mrs. Li can't really do anything to him. If Mrs. Li forced him to die, for the sake of his father and his wife and children, he could only be an unfilial son once.

Seeing that Tu Wenqiang had already made up his mind, Tu Lin stopped talking, but when he sent the person to the door, he took out a few pieces of silver from his pocket and gave it to Tu Wenqiang. Tu Wenqiang's eyes were red all of a sudden, he took the money, choked up and called "brother", then turned his head and strode away without saying anything more.

Tu Xinyue was already married, Tu Wendong went north to join the army, Li Shi and Tu Wenqiang followed, and now only Tu Fu, Tu Wenqiang's wife Song Shi, daughter, and Tu Yu remained in the Tu family.

Although Tu Fu was cold and selfish by nature and had soft ears, he had no intentions. Now that Mrs. Li was gone, he would not have the ability to trouble Tu Lin. Needless to say, Song's mother and son and Tu Yu, but Tu Xinyue may not know what happened at this time, and she is only married to an ordinary family in a town near Lijiagou, even if she knew, she would not have the ability Come to find yourself for revenge, so that the Tu family will no longer be afraid.

Everything was finally settled, but Tu Lin didn't have any big ups and downs in his heart. Although Mrs. Li and the others had caused him a lot of trouble, it wasn't worth his attention, so soon Mrs. Li, and Everything about the Tu family was left behind by him.

Life has returned to the calm of the past. Tu Lin still mainly makes soap every day. In the past more than a month, Tu Lin and Ruan Tang have also successfully made bread with several flavors, such as honey buns, red bean paste Bread, and meat floss bread.

Because when baking bread, it was Ruan Tang who kneaded the dough, and Tu Lin was only responsible for lighting the oven, so it didn't take much effort. It's just that Ruan Tang kneaded a lot of dough because Tu Lin took care of everything in the family, so he kneaded a lot of dough. As a result, a lot of bread was copied out. Can't finish it.

In the end, Tu Lin simply took the extra bread to Shilixiang when he delivered soap to his shop every day, and asked Zhao Changping and the others to help sell it, regardless of how much money he could make, as long as he didn't waste it just fine. For this, Tu Xinmei and Zhao Changping were naturally very happy.
