Tu Wenqiang went up the mountain before dawn in the morning, and soon after Tu Lin and Tu Xinmei arrived at Tu's house, he came back, but with a bruised nose and a swollen face, walking with a limp. Seeing this, Tu Lin guessed it without asking any further questions. The villagers of Lijiagou resented Mrs. Li, but since Mrs. Li was dead, their resentment was naturally directed at Mrs. Li's son, Tu Wenqiang.
Although Tu Wenqiang didn't want to say this, Song couldn't help crying and said it, and it was exactly as Tu Lin guessed. People in the village hated their family because of Mrs. Li. People often cursed outside the door, and people poured feces and water on the door of the house. When they went out, people threw stones and mud at them. I didn't know that I suffered a lot, and it was even more miserable than Tu Lin who was rejected by the whole village because of Li Xiucai's death.
Tu Lin had long experienced the virtues of the villagers in Lijiagou, so he was not surprised to learn what happened to Tu Wenqiang. He hadn't forgotten the purpose of his visit, so he took out two pieces of paper from his pocket, Tu Wenqiang said: "These two, one is the house deed of a small courtyard with a facade in the Xizhi Lane of the county seat, which was bought by me and my eldest sister together, and the other is the land deed of ten acres of land, which I bought earlier. The next one is near the county seat. With these ten acres of land, it is enough for your family to eat in the future. As for the house, you can move there if you want, and you can sell or rent it if you don't want to." "Brother,
you This is..." Tu Wenqiang was surprised by the arrival of Tu Lin and Tu Xinmei, and he never thought that Tu Lin would give him a house and a field, which made him unbelievable and at the same time controlled Tears flowed out all of a sudden.
Seeing this, Tu Xinmei couldn't help sighing. She took the two contracts from Tu Lin and put them in Tu Wenqiang's hand, and said, "Although you were not a good person in the past, you had a good heart anyway, and you never did evil with Mrs. Li. On the contrary, she has been implicated a lot, which is pitiful. After all, we are brothers and sisters. You can't live on now, so you should help. Take it."
"Sister——" Tu Wenqiang felt that the worries, fears, and grievances that had been suppressed in his heart these days could no longer bear it anymore. Looking at their daughter and Tu Yu, the three of them also started crying.
Tu Xinmei's heart was soft, and she felt sorry for Tu Wenqiang, but now seeing their family crying so miserably, she couldn't help but also shed tears.
After waiting for a while, Tu Lin became impatient when he saw that this group of people were still crying, so he pulled Tu Wenqiang up and said, "The man bleeds but doesn't shed tears, you are a big man, you cry endlessly like a What is it like?"
Tu Wenqiang was reprimanded by Tu Lin, but he felt very comfortable in his heart. Now that he has received relief from Tu Lin and Tu Xinmei, he knows that his family has hope in the future, even if he is scolded by Tu Lin every day, he is also happy.
Not only Tu Wenqiang heard Tu Lin's scolding, but Tu Yu also heard it, and hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, biting his lips, carefully watching Tu Lin's face, not daring to cry anymore.
Thinking that since he came to this world, he saw this cheap son who had been a few days only a few times, but every time he changed his appearance, Tu Lin couldn't help sighing in his heart.
Tu Wenqiang followed Tu Lin's gaze to look at Tu Yu, and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy on his face. He hesitated for a moment, and then said to Tu Lin: "Brother, I know that the second brother was sorry for you in the past, but Xiaoyu is still young. He doesn't know anything, so..."
Hearing the meaning of Tu Wenqiang's words, Tu Lin couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and said angrily: "I don't care about a child." Only then did
Tu Wenqiang let out a sigh of relief With a flattering smile, he said, "I know that big brother has a big heart, and it's my villain's heart. Don't blame big brother."
But Tu Lin asked Tu Wenqiang again: "Tu Yu is not your own, after all, you Willing to keep him?"
Tu Wenqiang looked at Tu Yu who was showing a disturbed expression because of Tu Lin's words, and said, "I'm a brother with my second brother. Although Xiaoyu is not my son, he is the only son of my second brother, and also my son." My dear nephew, he called me daddy again, I should raise him."
Tu Lin could tell that what Tu Wenqiang said was the truth, especially just now in order to protect Tu Yu, he was not even afraid of offending himself, but he did not expect that Tu Wenqiang And this heart. But Tu Yu following him was much better than following Tu Wendong. After all, if he had really recognized Tu Wendong back then, I am afraid that now Tu Yu would have to bear the reputation of being a bandit, and his life would be ruined. From this point of view, Tu Yu could be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
The Tu family has been confiscated, and the family can be said to be impoverished now. If Tu Wenqiang's wife, Song's family, hadn't helped out, they might not even be able to eat for two days. So in addition to the two contracts, Tu Lin and Tu Xinmei also brought them some food and clothing so that they could live on.
Although Tu Wenqiang had already decided to move to the house that Tu Lin and Tu Xinmei bought for them, but because the grave relocation would take a few days, he took a break and stayed in the village for a few more days, waiting for the grave relocation. Move away again. Fortunately, the arrival of Tu Lin and Tu Xinmei now let the villagers know that Tu Wenqiang is not alone and helpless. They are afraid of Tu Lin, and Tu Wenqiang's life will be easier in the future.
It's time to say it all, Tu Xinmei also saw Tu Fu, and the two planned to go back. Tu Lin first sent Tu Xinmei back to Shilixiang, and after returning to Zhuxi Village, he went to the village head Sun Jinlai and said that he wanted to move the Tu family's ancestral grave to Zhuxi Village.
When Sun Jinlai heard this, he frowned in embarrassment, and didn't immediately agree to Tu Lin, but when Tu Lin said that the people who moved the grave were only members of the Tu family, and Li's family was not among them, he stretched his brows and agreed. It can be said that the Li family is notorious now. Although Tu Lin is very capable now, he has to think about the whole village, but if there is no Li family and only the Tu family, then it doesn't matter.
After talking with Sun Jin, Tu Lin went to find a Fengshui master and asked him to find a place in the back mountain of Zhuxi Village. Finally, it was an auspicious time, so he hired a few people to go to Lifu again. In Jiagou, the coffins of the ancestors of the Tu family were dug out and transported to the new cemetery in Zhuxi Village for re-burial.
After the grave was moved, Tu Wenqiang's family also moved out of Lijiagou and lived in a house in the county town that Tu Lin and Tu Xinmei bought for them. Father Tu used to be an ancestral bamboo craftsman, and he also taught Tu Wenqiang, but Tu Wenqiang used to be too lazy to do it, so he didn't bother to learn or do it. But now that the whole family depends on him to support them, he can no longer be as ignorant as before, and pick up the handicraft handed down from his family again. It just so happens that the house still has a small facade, so he just makes bamboo mats and baskets and puts it on display. Selling can be regarded as an income.
Tu Wenqiang knew that it was thanks to Tu Lin and Tu Xinmei that he could live a peaceful life, so he was always grateful in his heart, but he knew how to measure, and never did anything outside under the banner of Tu Lin or Tu Xinmei. He never told anyone about his relationship with Tu Lin and Tu Xinmei, and only lived his own life, which made Tu Lin and Tu Xinmei more fond of him.
Later, Tu Lin and Tu Xinmei also came to take care of his business, bought some exquisite bamboo baskets, bamboo boxes and so on, packed soap and delivered dishes, and made his business better and better, and later hired a young man, Became a little boss. Although they are not as good as Tu Lin and Tu Xinmei, their lives are very rich and stable. This is not to mention later.
...
At the daughter's full moon ceremony a few days ago, Tu Lin gave out a lot of canned fruit to the guests who came to attend the ceremony. What is left is far from enough, so new ones need to be made.
Now that the bandits are gone, Tu Lin doesn't need to do other things at home, so Tu Lin started to make canned food in the back yard, and some of the fruits used for the canned food were bought in the space before, and some of them were Tu Lin went to buy another batch of seasonal fresh fruits, which can also deceive people's eyes and ears.
When it was almost noon that day, Ruan Tang came to ask Tu Lin to have dinner. Tu Lin responded, but he still waited for the water in the cauldron to boil for a while before he extinguished the stove, and then took out the pot that had been boiling for a long time. When it came out, it was turned upside down on a shelf aside to wait to dry, then it went out of the back yard and went to the main room in the back yard.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he heard Yuan Rui's anxious yelling from outside the house, "Uncle Tu, Uncle Tu is not well, Liu Bao is gone—"
Tu Lin frowned when he heard that, he turned and went out, Ruan Tang also heard Yuan Rui's voice, and followed Tu Lin out the door.
Yuan Rui happened to have also run to the front door of the main room, and Wang Fu was with him, both of them looked anxious and uneasy.
Ruan Tang said to the two of them: "Don't worry, talk slowly, what's going on?"
Yuan Rui said, "I just went to the soap room to invite Liu Bao to eat, but I didn't see anyone, so I went to him He and Wang Fu's residence was not found either. I asked Wang Fu, and Wang Fu told me that Liu Bao had gone to Liji grocery store in the county town to buy caustic soda early in the morning. It takes less than an hour to go back and forth with the village, so Liu Bao shouldn't have come back by now. He's not a fool, and he's never done this before. Uncle Tu, something must have happened to Liu Bao!" Wang Fu also said
, But with a crying voice, "It's all my fault. I don't get sick sooner or later, but I'm sick at this time. I only know that I'm lying in the room. I didn't realize that Liu Baoge hasn't come back. It's been several hours now, Liu Baoge I still don't know what's going on, it's all my fault—"
If he hadn't been sick and made soap with Liu Bao in the soap room, he would have found out about Liu Bao's late return, and he could have found someone earlier, so that he wouldn't Now I don't know whether I will live or die. Although Wang Fu has only been with Liu Bao for a few months, Liu Bao is one year older than him and has always taken care of him. He also regards Liu Bao as his elder brother. Now that Liu Bao is gone, he is worried and blames himself , couldn't help but shed tears.
Tu Lin thought for a while, but asked Yuan Rui: "Is Liu Bao's stuff still there?
" He checked in his room, and it turned out that all his things were there, including money, and nothing was missing." It was also because of this that he felt that something had happened to Liu Bao, not that he had escaped.
Tu Lin nodded and didn't ask any more questions, but the doubt in his eyes did not disappear. Although Liu Bao has been diligent and prudent since he entered the Tu family, which made him very satisfied, but Liu Bao disappeared, and he had to consider all possibilities.
Of course, there may have been some accidents, or they were taken away, but it is also possible that they escaped on purpose. As for not taking away the things and money, it was done deliberately to prevent suspicion, but right now there is no one in sight, and there are no clues, so it is too early to say anything, so it is still necessary to find the person first.
So Tu Lin said to Yuan Rui: "You go and draw two portraits of Liu Bao, and then go into the city with me."
Yuan Rui immediately responded, and he also had a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his room, so he hurried back to paint. Wang Fu also wanted to go to Liu Bao together, but Tu Lin didn't agree when he was still ill. As for Ruan Tang, he didn't want to go with him. Although he was also worried about Liu Bao, he also believed in Tu Lin, and he couldn't just leave his daughter, wet nurse, and Wang Fu as a patient at home, so he stayed at home and waited.
When the three of Jiang Biao were captured before, Tu Lin and Ruan Tang also got their horses. Later, the three horses were not handed over to the government, and they kept them. Because they were anxious to find Liu Bao, Tu Lin and Yuan Rui decided to go to the county seat on horseback.
After entering the city, they first went to Li's grocery store. Because Tu Lin and the others often bought caustic soda in this grocery store, the shopkeeper was already very familiar with them, and when he saw Tu Lin coming, he greeted him warmly.
Tu Lin asked the shopkeeper if he had seen Liu Baolai today. Although the shopkeeper didn't understand why Tu Lin asked, he answered truthfully, saying that Liu Baochen had come here at the beginning, bought ten catties of caustic soda, and then left.
When Tu Lin heard this, his heart sank. Liu Bao also came to buy caustic soda, indicating that he did not intend to escape, but this was not good news for Tu Lin. If Liu Bao is really just a servant who betrayed his master, he can just report directly to the officials, but now it is confirmed that Liu Bao did not defect, then he either had an accident or was kidnapped, regardless of the two possibilities Either way, Liu Bao's current situation is not optimistic.
