Chapter 25
For the Zhou family's sudden departure, Shen Qingning was also unexpected. Could it be that he was really afraid that the newly appointed county magistrate would take action against his family?

Shen Dahe and his son first went to the vicinity of Zhou's house, and found that no one came in and out for a long time, so they boldly leaned against the wall and took a look.

The backyard of the Zhou family is connected to the kitchen, and there is no one in the entire backyard.

Then the two father and son inquired separately, and finally found out that Mr. Zhou had left the city with his wife and daughter early in the morning, and the large carts seemed not to be coming back.

Shen Qingning was a little frustrated, nothing happened to her even if she ran away, even if she went to the yamen to sue, there would probably be no results.

"Don't be angry, evil people have evil rewards. The family members who did bad things this week will be punished sooner or later, and maybe they will be bumped into by us again at that time."

Shen Qingning also knew that Shen Guan was comforting her, but now there was really no other way.

"Then Shen Ming? Can't we just let him go like this?"

Shen Dahe patted Shen Qingning, "Don't worry, your parents won't let you suffer this grievance for nothing."

Soon, Shen Qingning knew what her father meant.

Mrs. Li went out and walked around and found out that Shen Ming did not return to Quanshui Village last night.

Shen Ming is the grandson of old man Shen's eldest brother. He has been studying well since he was a child, and he is the most promising member of Uncle Shen's family to be admitted as a scholar.It was inevitable that he would be spoiled at home, which caused this kid to develop a lazy temperament since he was a child.

After receiving the news from Mrs. Li, Shen Dahe went directly to the county seat. He also heard from fellow villagers that he met Shen Ming outside the Huanxi class when he was carrying out work.

That place is said to be a small theater troupe, but in fact it is a place where a few prostitutes open their doors to do business.

He squatted outside for a whole night, and it wasn't until noon the next day that Shen Ming came out of the Huanxi class with an overindulgent look on his face.

Seeing that Shen Ming was walking in the direction of going back to Dongshui Village, Shen Dahe quietly followed.

Along the way, Shen Ming's feet were frivolous, and he didn't even notice that someone was following him from afar.

Shen Dahe held his breath along the way, and when he approached Dongshui Village, he picked a deserted place to catch up and pulled Shen Ming behind the grass.

Pressing a person to the ground is two punches, "You bastard, you read all the books in the dog's stomach!"

After finishing speaking, there were two more punches!

Shen Ming, who was still a little drunk, was completely woken up by these punches, "Second, second uncle?"

It was fine if he didn't bark, but when he called Shen Dahe slapped him on the face again, "You still know I'm your second uncle."

Shen Ming was startled, did he know?
He came back today just to see if Shen Qingning came back, if he came back, then he could only get the 30 taels, if he didn't come back, he would go to Zhou's house to ask for the remaining 70 taels.

Maybe more, after all, he saved Miss Zhou's life!

Now that Shen Dahe slapped him a few times, he knew that the matter had been exposed.

"Second Uncle, listen to me, Second Uncle, whoops!"

As soon as he said a word, Shen Dahe slapped him with two slaps to silence him.

"You are not as good as pigs and dogs, why did my old Shen family produce such a beast!"

No matter how much Shen Ming begged for mercy, Shen Dahe's fists never stopped. One is a strong man who has been working hard all year round, and the other is a weak scholar who has never spent a day in school. There is no comparison between the strength of the two.

Shen Dahe didn't give up until Shen Ming's nose was bruised and his face was swollen like a pig's head, and his mother couldn't recognize her son when she came.

He grabbed Shen Ming's collar with one hand, "Now you go back with me, you are not allowed to fart on the way, do you hear me clearly?"

Shen Ming was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, so he could only respond with a hmm, and was slapped again by Shen Dahe, "If it wasn't for your surname Shen, I would break your leg today!"

After entering the village, some villagers were taken aback when they saw Shen Ming's appearance, "Oh, Dahe, is this Ming kid from your uncle's family? Why does he look like this?"

Shen Dahe had an expression of resentment, "This kid lost gambling in the county and was anxious to fight with others. Fortunately, I ran into it at work. Sigh~"

That long "ah", there are too many complicated meanings in it, so I have to let the other party figure it out by themselves.

Shen Ming was afraid of being beaten a long time ago, he lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound, it seemed that fighting for money was better than selling clan girls' reputation, so he accepted this statement without any consideration.

Along the way, some villagers saw it and asked about it, so Shen Dahe repeated the previous performance.

In the end, Shen Ming himself believed that he had lost money in a bet and was beaten. When some elders in the village advised him to be a good man and study hard in the future, he still knew how to nod and murmur.

Just like that, Shen Dahe brought the people back home, turned around and closed the door as soon as he entered the courtyard, and shouted at Shen Ming, "Kneel down!"

Shen Ming knelt on the ground with a slap.

When Li Shi and the children heard the sound, they ran out and saw Shen Ming kneeling in the courtyard. !"

Shen Dahe greeted Shen Qingning, "Qingning, come here."

Shen Qingning walked obediently to Shen Dahe, and Shen Dahe also kicked Shen Ming.

Shen Ming started to slap himself as if a switch had been pressed, "Sister Qingning, I'm sorry for you, I have no conscience, I'm sorry for you, I'm not as good as a pig~"

Shen Qingning looked at Shen Ming who was like a pig's head, and the depression that had accumulated in his heart for two days finally dissipated.

Could it be that Shen Dahe didn't come back last night, and Li Shi didn't mention it, maybe he knew that her husband was looking for Shen Ming?

Unexpectedly, the honest father who only knows how to work on weekdays has such a ruthless side.

Ignoring Shen Ming who was on the ground, and only smiled sweetly at Shen Qingxiu who was standing at the door, "Sister, let's go soak beans, we can't make money for these people to influence us!"

After speaking, he went directly into the house to get soybeans.

Seeing this, Li Shi was also relieved, Shen Qingning had been holding her breath for the past two days, she held back her mouth to Shen Dahe and led the other children into the house.

Shen Dahe pulled Shen Ming up, "You can go back now, as for what you say when you go home, it's up to you."

Shen Ming was going to open the courtyard door while nodding, but was stopped by Mrs. Li who rushed out, "I almost forgot, I brought 30 taels of silver, which is the money from the Zhou family to protect Qingning from disaster!"

Shen Ming showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Second Aunt, I, I'm all gone."

"You want Father Qingning to come and search?"

"No, no, no, no." He said as he took out some scattered silver from his bosom.

"Second uncle and second aunt, there are really only so many."

Mrs. Li glanced at Yin Zi and took it over, and said something in a low voice that only the three people in the yard could hear.

"You are only worthy of sleeping with a female cousin in this life."

Shen Ming clenched his fists, looked at the ferocious Shen Dahe in the courtyard, but he still didn't dare to speak, opened the courtyard door and ran away.

When he got home, his mother almost fainted from fright when she saw his appearance.

"Oh, my son, what's wrong with you? My son! Who killed this!"

Shen Ming pulled out a ready-made excuse, "Mother, I was tricked into gambling, and after losing the money they asked me to write an IOU. I swore I would die and was beaten by them. Mother! I almost lost sight of you, mother~"
