Chapter 558 Chapter 557 Being a Villain

When Tang Zhitong returned home, the lights were on in the main house, but the side rooms were closed, so he went straight into the main house.

"Have you eaten? I left some food for you." When Zhang Guifang saw her son, she thought about heating up the leftovers on the table.

"Mom, we have a meeting today and they provide meals. There are plenty of big white steamed buns. I ate five. It saves me breakfast tomorrow." Tang Zhitong took off his warm clothes and handed them to Xiao Wang. He gestured with his hands and slightly exaggerated the size of the buns.

Although the daughter-in-law had said before the meal that if Tang Zhitong didn't come back, the family would definitely provide meals, but as a mother, she was always worried. Seeing that Tang Zhitong didn't look like he hadn't eaten, Zhang Guifang was relieved: "Okay, then it won't be hot."

"Brother..." After hearing Tang Zhitong's voice, Feng Zhi came out from the inner room with swollen eyes and a crying voice.

"What's wrong?" Tang Zhitong looked at his sister's goldfish eyes, raised his head to look at Zhang Guifang, and then looked at classmate Xiao Wang.

"You deserve it! You are allowed to play with a bad kid!" Zhang Guifang was furious when she saw her daughter, and her tone was full of disappointment.

Fengzhi walked to Tang Zhitong, hugged her brother's waist, and started crying again.

"What happened? Did someone bully you?" Tang Zhitong asked while touching Fengzhi's head.

Fengzhi was so sad that she didn't have time to reply.

Xiao Wang looked at his mother-in-law and saw that she was sulking alone and had no intention of explaining, so he said:

"Fengzhi is on holiday now, and she has nothing to do at home, so she goes out to play with her classmate Guiying.

The child's mother went to queue up to buy something, so she asked Guiying to look after his younger brother. As a result, the little boy drank too much water and kept asking his sister to help him pee.

The two little girls were having fun. It was okay once or twice, but if it happened too much, they would get annoyed.

The little girl used a hairband to tie her brother's thing..."

When he said the latter part, Xiao Wang gestured with his hands.

"This girl is quite fierce! Is she hurt?" Tang Zhitong was shocked when he heard this. He knew Guiying was Fengzhi's classmate. Her parents were not very good and were good at making trouble.

"I didn't use too much force, but this was the first year the child didn't wear open-crotch pants, and he didn't unbutton them in time, so he wet his pants. As a result, the child's mother came back and was not happy about it, so she caught Guiying and beat her up.

Maybe Guiying was also afraid, and insisted that it was Fengzhi's idea.

They came to our house." Xiao Wang came back early and had already heard her mother-in-law's story, so she repeated it to her husband.

"I didn't do it. It wasn't me. She framed me. Our mother didn't believe me. Not only did she not protect me, she also beat me." Fengzhi sobbed and denied it when she heard this. The more she spoke, the more emotional she became. Compared to the bullying from outsiders, she was more saddened by her family's lack of help.

"Was there anyone else present at the time?" Tang Zhitong did not rush to help his sister, but touched her head and asked patiently.

"No, just the three of us." Feng Zhi wiped her tears with her sleeve and replied.

"I believe you, but it's hard to prove. After all, we are a family. If they insist on it, they can't clear themselves of the matter." Tang Zhitong hooked his foot over the stool and sat down. Then he put his sister on his lap and comforted her, "You didn't deserve this beating. Just take it as a lesson for not knowing how to judge people."

After hearing what her brother said, Fengzhi grinned and was about to cry again. This was not the comfort she wanted.

"Cry, cry, cry! How dare you cry?! If I see you playing with that kid again, I'll break your legs!" Zhang Guifang was also angry. The other person came to her house and said that her daughter and son had pointed out that it was Fengzhi who instructed them to do so. She had no way to defend herself.

Fortunately, he only gave instructions. If Fengzhi did it herself and made a fuss about it, the child's reputation would be ruined and it would be difficult for him to find a husband in the future.

"Fengzhi, what our mother said makes sense. Think about it, from this incident, you can see what kind of person Guiying is, right?" Tang Zhitong still did not criticize his sister. Instead, he patted her on the back and explained it bit by bit.

"Well, I will never play with her again!" Fengzhi sobbed and nodded vigorously.

"That's right. If it weren't for this incident, I might have done you a bigger trick in the future. So I say you didn't get it wronged this time. The beating is to teach you a lesson." Children often lie, so Tang Zhitong carefully observed Feng Zhi's expression and tone, and everything he said was true.

Lying and being wrongly accused will manifest themselves in completely different ways.

When you lie, you will feel guilty and usually argue, you won't cry at all.

Being wronged is a grievance, and people usually cry their eyes out and then argue in tears.

Since Feng Zhi's words were true, Tang Zhitong would naturally have to help his sister get back her face. How? He had to think of a way.

"Our mother plans to find a tutor for Jingmin in a while, and I've taken over this job.

I plan to go find Qingqing later and ask her to introduce one of her classmates to Jingmin to tutor him for a while.

How about this, when I go to work, I will take Fengzhi with me, let them take lessons together, and then bring them back after get off work."

The influence of a child’s living environment cannot be underestimated. Xiao Wang understands this truth, but he cannot just move home, so he has to find other ways.

Although classmate Xiao Wang mentioned teaching Fengzhi to sing a while ago, he has to go to work during the day, and the sister-in-law is not a peaceful person, so the best way is to solve the problem from the root.

"Okay." Tang Zhitong nodded and agreed without asking Zhang Guifang's opinion: "Let's see what conditions they offer. We can take it. Food and money are fine."

“Yeah, sure.” Student Xiao Wang showed his dimples. His family had no shortage of food and they had plenty of money. Now, more and more things required coupons, and many things could not be bought even with money. It felt like money was not as useful as before.

"Brother, sister-in-law. How about...how about I take Fengzhi with me and go there once a day?" Feng Zhenshu was not paying attention to his sister's crying. After listening to the conversation between his brother and sister-in-law, he turned around and put forward an idea.

"Fengzhi is still young. I bring her back and forth every day because I'm worried that she will miss home. Didn't you tell Jingying about this? It's not good to go back on your word." Classmate Xiao Wang walked forward and gently pinched Fengzhen's face.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I promise I will never play with Guiying again! I don't want to make up lessons, the weather is too cold, and I don't want to be cold." Fengzhi heard that her brother and sister-in-law had made arrangements for her vacation. She didn't care about crying anymore. She frowned and tried hard to find excuses.

"How about you live over there too? Sleep in the same bed with your two sisters. There's heating and a toilet in that room, so you won't feel cold when you get up at night." It's true that Xiao Wang likes his sister-in-law, but he won't spoil her. The conditions can be discussed, but the bottom line cannot be changed.

Beibei kept rubbing against Tang Zhitong's trouser legs, meowing at its little silver fish.

Tang Zhitong was upset when he heard this. He helped Feng Zhi, who was not crying, to her feet and stood up himself: "I'm going to go out and walk the cat and have a cigarette."

Tang Zhitong walked out of the house and paced to the front door. He gave Beibei today's portion of fish, then lit a cigarette and started smoking, trying to find the family that had wrongly accused Feng Zhi.

That family lived in front of the Tang family, with a house between the two families.

Thanks to the plug-in, it can actually be obtained! This is really fun.

In this matter, Fengzhi was wrong. She was wrong in going to play with Guiying.

But Guiying's parents also have a lot of responsibility. They don't know what kind of person their child is? Do they believe whatever they are told?
Even though Tang Zhitong knew that Fengzhi was wrongly accused, he couldn't go to her house because there were no witnesses!
If they really go to her house, it might backfire and ruin Fengzhi's reputation.

After much thought, Tang Zhitong decided to be a villain for once.

It’s good to be a villain. A villain doesn’t need to follow so many rules, and doesn’t need to hold grudges, because grudges can be taken care of on the spot.

Just do it!

Tang Zhitong pulled out the mice he had picked from the Northeast Forest Farm from the space, and carefully selected about twenty large and high-quality ones, intending to stuff them all into Guiying's house.

After stuffing it halfway, Tang Zhitong changed his mind. He hadn't even slept yet, so how could the rat do anything wrong?

The mouse remembered that he was sleeping soundly in his nest just now, so why was there any noise next to him?
I opened my eyes and saw, oh my god, when did my nest become so big?
I crawled out from under the bed and looked around. Why did several bipeds appear? ? It was really weird!
It is said that Guiying was just about to go to bed, with her feet still in the foot basin, when suddenly a big black rat ran out from the bed and floor, scaring her to death.

Tang Zhitong stood at the gate, happily sensing the chaos in Guiying's house, and did not return to the main house until he finished smoking.

Beibei is such a heartless person. After achieving his goal as the little silverfish today, he ignored Tang Zhitong after entering the house and hid under the bed to lick his fur.

I don’t know what the three aunts and sisters-in-law discussed, but those who were crying stopped crying, those who were reviewing put away their textbooks, and prepared to pack up and go to bed with a smile on their faces.

The couple returned to the wing room. Tang Zhitong added some firewood to the stove, washed his hands, took out the letters with money and tickets, and asked, "I went to the Women's Federation for a meeting today and met Director Li. How many uncles, uncles, and aunts of this level do you have?"

"Wait, let me count." Xiao Wang put aside the warm clothing he had brought back from the main room, and sat on a chair, counting on his fingers: one, two, three...

"Oh, I can't count with both hands. What should I do? Can you lend me your fingers?" Student Wang stopped counting at the end, covered his mouth and smiled at Tang Zhitong.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore. Director Li asked me to follow you and call her Aunt Li, and also asked us to find some time to visit her home." Seeing that she was unwilling to say anything, Tang Zhitong stopped asking.

"Wait a little longer, maybe around the New Year, and we'll go over to visit relatives." Student Xiao Wang thought.

"You decide. I'll listen to you." Tang Zhitong had no experience in doing this kind of thing. He was very humble and followed what Xiao Wang said.

"Why did you find the letter?" Xiao Wang asked as she watched her husband spread out the letter and took out another letter from his pocket. There was ten yuan in the envelope.

"Here, it's ten dollars..." Tang Zhitong told Xiao Wang the key points of what happened in the meeting today.

"Wow, that's amazing! I've met Uncle Luo several times, and my mother said that he is a very serious person. I didn't expect he thinks so highly of you." Xiao Wang was very happy that her husband was recognized. She took out envelopes and stamps from the drawer, intending to help her husband put the letters in and put stamps on them.

"Then it's a good thing I didn't agree. Being rigorous and striving for excellence are the correct attitudes in academic research, which I don't have." Tang Zhitong shook his head, found the letter paper, and returned the ten-dollar bill first.

Write a reply according to the recipient's name on the letter.

Comrade XX:

Seeing words is like meeting.

All the comrades in the editing team were very happy to hear the news that the Chinese tracheal foreign body first aid method saved your child.

We have received your gratitude, but we cannot accept the money, so we will send it back in full.

You are welcome to write to us to discuss issues related to the Manual, but please do not include anything else next time.

I wish you good work and a happy family.

Tang, January 1960, 1.

After Tang Zhitong finished writing, he didn't even check it. He filled out the envelope, tore it open and handed it to Xiao Wang, then started writing the next one.

"Is that all the words?" Xiao Wang helped her husband take a quick look at the paper and then started to fold it.

"That's a lot. There's still a stack like this. I have to reply one by one." Tang Zhitong looked up at the envelope. There were very few people sending large-denomination banknotes and food coupons. Most of them were small bills. You sent one dollar, he sent fifty cents, this one sent half a pound of food coupons, and that one sent one pound of food coupons.

Not including the letter I just received, this time I received more than 40 kilograms of food coupons, two and a half kilograms of oil coupons, and more than 60 yuan. In total, there are about 200 letters, most of which are local. After all, the envelopes and stamps alone cost me more than ten yuan.

The content of the next reply was similar, emphasizing the return of money and tickets.

Although each letter was not long, my writing speed was slow. After an hour, I had replied to less than 20 letters.

Tang Zhitong was so regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would have gone to the school to carve a plate and mimeograph it. When would he ever stop writing like this?

"I didn't expect that replying letters would become a torture. There are too many strokes in each character." The more Tang Zhitong wrote, the more his handwriting tended to fly, and the frequency of the simplified characters he learned in his previous life appeared more and more frequently.

Tang Zhitong thinks traditional Chinese characters are very beautiful, especially those written with a brush. When he is not in a hurry, he still uses traditional Chinese characters. But when time is tight, he uses more simplified Chinese characters, and occasionally they are mixed.

"You wrote very concisely, didn't you? I had to guess some of the words. When people receive your letter, they won't think you are uneducated and that the words are all typos, right?" While Tang Zhitong was writing his replies, Xiao Wang would go through each letter roughly. Some words appeared randomly in her husband's notes, sometimes in traditional Chinese, and sometimes in his own simplified characters.

"There's no other way. We just want to improve efficiency. I've now come to a deep understanding that simplified characters are not only conducive to people's literacy, but can also greatly increase writing speed and efficiency." Tang Zhitong said as he filled in the address on the envelope.

The addresses left are all the digital mailboxes applied for by Ye Zhijuan, which will make it much more convenient to receive letters in the future.

Student Wang said “hmm”. She works in a library and deals with old books every day. Some traditional Chinese characters are indeed difficult to write, and the time it takes to write one character is enough to write several simplified characters.

Tang Zhitong wrote a few more letters. His fingers and wrists were tired, so he put down his pen and said, "Okay, let's pack up and go to bed. The work cannot be completed in one day. I will continue tomorrow."

"Okay. I'll pour you some water for washing your feet. I have to buy some more stamps and envelopes tomorrow, as we don't have enough at home." Student Xiao Wang packed the letters and tidied them up neatly.

"I'll buy it tomorrow. You wash your feet first, I'll go out and take a look. I think I forgot to bolt the door just now." Tang Zhitong made up an excuse, went out and lit a cigarette, and took a quick look. Guiying's family was already asleep.

It’s better to sleep, as it’s the best time for mice to cause trouble, so he stuffed the carefully selected half of the elite soldiers and generals over.
