Chapter 626 Doing Good and Accumulating Virtue
What you fear will come true. While they were still pulling and tugging, they heard a voice coming from the side: "Mani! Mani! What's going on in broad daylight? Are you starving? If you want to drink milk, go back to your mother!"

The person who came was very energetic. Tang Zhitong heard the noise and looked back. It was a man who was coming towards this side in a hurry.

"If you don't say something, I'll be beaten." Tang Zhitong let go of the woman and let her sit slowly on the ground.

In this situation, Tang Zhitong knew that he couldn't explain it clearly. What if this guy ran over and punched him, he would have to have a hand to block it, right?

It's really unfair to get beaten for doing good things.

After being persuaded by Tang Zhitong, the woman felt guilty, scared, and a little relieved. She was so excited that she sat on the ground.

At this moment, she saw with tearful eyes that a kind-hearted passerby had misunderstood and was about to attack Tang Zhitong, so she naturally couldn't just stand by and watch.

The man who came had a strong sense of justice and thought he was in the right. He seemed to have cultivated a golden body that was invulnerable to swords and guns. He came up and tried to grab Tang Zhitong by the collar.

Tang Zhitong would not let him succeed. He grabbed his waving wrist, twisted it away, and said, "Hey, man, calm down. You should know the whole story before doing good things, right? Don't do bad things with good intentions. Who are you to her?"

"Who are you? You are not just anyone, but you cannot bully others! What's the matter? You think you are right to pull the female comrade? She is your wife?" The man was pinched on the wrist by Tang Zhitong. He grimaced in pain. Not only did he say that he was not convinced, but he also showed signs of waving his other arm.

At this time, the female comrade who was sitting on the ground stood up and stood in front of Tang Zhitong: "You misunderstood, this comrade just helped me find my child."

"Ouch~ I was too impulsive. Comrade, let go, let go. You are too strong. It hurts my wrist." After the person involved said this, the attitude of the person who came immediately changed. His face changed and he lost his previous toughness. He begged.

"I'm sorry, you cursed me so badly and came over so angrily, I thought you were good at it, so I didn't hold back." Tang Zhitong let go of his hand and bowed to the person who came. He thought they were a couple just now.

If the couple really came out to abandon the child, then the child will most likely not be saved.

"Ouch! I'm sorry for my bad mouth, please don't mind it." This man was reasonable, and after Tang Zhitong said that, not only did his face turn red, he also apologized.

"It doesn't matter. You're doing a good deed after all." Tang Zhitong smiled. It was all a misunderstanding. The other person had already apologized. If he cursed back or hit back, he would appear to be narrow-minded.

As a passerby, Tang Zhitong did not blame him, but with his venomous tongue, even if he was kind enough to help others in the future, he would probably be beaten up if he met someone with a bad temper.

But that was none of Tang Zhitong’s business. Tang Zhitong even had some expectations.

The misunderstanding was resolved, and the man saw that it had nothing to do with him, so he walked away, looking back every few steps.

Only then did the woman thank Tang Zhitong again.

"Oh, it's okay. Go back quickly. It's so cold. Don't let the child get frozen." Tang Zhitong sighed and urged.

When the woman heard this, she hesitated to speak and did not take a step.

"What's going on?" Tang Zhitong didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but he softened his heart in the end.

Things have developed to this point. The child is still young and cute. It would not be a good idea to just abandon the mother and daughter and turn around and walk away.

"My mother-in-law..." The woman hesitated and tears fell again, but fortunately she did not collapse on the ground this time.

"What? Are you having a conflict? If you are wrong, admit it. If you are not wrong, ask your family to help you get justice." Although he didn't finish his words, Tang Zhitong had already frowned. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflict? This is a family matter!

Although it has been ten years since the liberation, the feudal ideological shackles are still deeply rooted in many people's minds.

"After many years of being a daughter-in-law, she finally becomes a mother-in-law." There is a great sense of "filial piety" in this. Many mothers-in-law will use this sense to oppress their daughters-in-law in various ways, as if doing so is not enough to show their status in the family.

At this time, men usually remain silent. Once they speak for their wives, their mothers will cry and scream, and sing a song of "unfilial son".

Well, anyone who doesn’t help me beat my wife at this moment is a good man.

"There's no one left in my family. My mother-in-law doesn't want this child." After the woman said this, she bit her lip and shook her head. Her tears kept falling, and she didn't wipe them away, just let them hang on her face.

"No, your man doesn't care? This is his own flesh and blood?" Tang Zhitong was shocked. It would be fine if this happened in the countryside, but judging from the woman's words and actions, she seemed like a city person. It would be a bit unreasonable for a city person to do this again.

"My husband passed away a while ago, and we can't make ends meet at home, and we have two children. I really have no choice but to do it."

"I have no milk. My mother-in-law said that if we continue like this, we won't be able to keep the baby. It will be thrown into the river sooner or later. It's better to put it in front of the orphanage as soon as possible."

"I've inquired about the welfare home, and there's no food there. I'm worried about leaving it there."

"After all, we are mother and daughter. Instead of sending my mother-in-law to an orphanage, I'd rather find a good family for her."

It was only at this point that the woman told the whole story.

Tang Zhitong sighed after hearing this. For a mother to say such words, it was obvious that she was desperate.

"Am I the good family you're looking for? You're wrong. I'm still young and haven't found a partner yet.

Bring a child home? The neighbors' spit will drown me. Will I be able to find a partner in the future?

Besides, if you leave the child to me, how do you know I won't send the child to an orphanage?" Tang Zhitong started to lie again, trying to dissuade the woman from giving the child to him.

Even if he had the ability, Tang Zhitong didn't want to raise the child because it was not his own.

Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and mice’s sons can dig holes.

Raising someone else's child is really like rolling dice. No one knows what the number is inside the sieve until the sieve is lifted. There is too much of a gambling element!

It's like the daughter of a socialite before liberation, who was given to others to raise. Her family was so well-off, so what kind of thing was that?

Of course there are good children, but there are also bad children. Tang Zhitong can give birth, so it is better to be self-reliant in this matter and not cause trouble for himself.

After hearing what Tang Zhitong said, the woman began to choke up again. She thought she had given the child a glimmer of hope, but she didn't expect that her hand still couldn't reach the door, and the light outside had disappeared.

"Okay, stop crying. Someone will come and help us soon." Tang Zhitong was in a depressed mood. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, picked one up and put it under his nose.

The woman’s experience reminded Tang Zhitong of himself.

If I hadn't come here, what would my home be like? Liu Zhang had once thought about her own house.

Although this woman is thin, she has some looks, otherwise the man wouldn't have looked back every few steps. Who knows, someone might miss her in the future.

It is better to be proactive than to be passive, so Tang Zhitong gave a solution that was not a solution: "If there is really no other way, you can find someone to live with. It is worse than carrying it all by yourself."

Tang Zhitong was not making this up. In the past few years, there were fewer widows who remarried, but now the situation is difficult. In order to have food to eat, many widows would rather compromise, let alone remarry.

This is true of "The Shepherd" and "Shorebrak".

The hero of "Shoerbulak" is Li Shiying. It was during these three years that he fled to the northwest and became a truck driver with the help of kind people.

Truck drivers are popular, so finding a wife is not a problem. So he found a woman who was also a refugee. The woman who played Lee Se-young's wife was the mother of the woman who did hair. In the movie, Lee Se-young and his wife never consummated their marriage.

Later, a friend told Li Shiying that his wife had a man outside. Upon asking, he found out that she was his childhood sweetheart. They were separated because of the famine, and now that the situation is better, the man came back to find her.

After some struggle, Li Shiying chose to divorce and made them happy.

A man who was originally getting married for the first time, took the offer and became a man getting married for the second time without even tasting the love.

In this regard, Li Shiying is not even close to Xu Lingjun.

After listening to Tang Zhitong's suggestion, the woman neither agreed nor disagreed. She just stared at the baby in the cradle in a daze.

"Life is like riding a bike. You can look back occasionally, but if you keep looking back, you're bound to fall over." Tang Zhitong didn't smoke after all. He put the cigarette back in his pocket, then took out twenty yuan and three kilograms of national food coupons from his pocket and stuffed them into the child's swaddling clothes: "Just look forward."

"Thank you, comrade. Good people will be rewarded." The woman saw the money but did not refuse it.

"Hey, if you do good things just to get rewards, then you are not a real good person. Okay, I'm leaving, you should go back soon." After Tang Zhitong said this, he turned around resolutely and left.

Tang Zhitong is not a cruel person, especially since the woman is a widow.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

No one helped Zhang Guifang at the beginning, but now that I have encountered her, I would like to lend a helping hand. It is a token of my appreciation. I can consider it as doing good deeds for my unborn child. I hope that the mother and daughter will have a smooth life in the future.

Since they had never met before, this was all Tang Zhitong could do.

When they reached the entrance of the alley, Tang Zhitong looked back and saw the woman kneeling facing him with the child in her arms.

Tang Zhitong sighed again, waved at her, and disappeared into the alley.

When a person is desperate, he can find someone to live with. Although life is not easy, he can still get by.

In "Shoerbulak", Li Shiying took a sick child to the hospital and paid the medical bills, thus becoming acquainted with the child's mother, Ye Juan.

Eventually, the two formed a new family.

The ending was quite heartwarming and resonated with audiences after the film was released, but Tang Zhitong didn't resonate with it at all.

If the actress who played Ye Juan was not Zhu Lin, the Queen of the Kingdom of Women, but looked like a female demon, would Lee Se Young stop the car?
Even if I stop the car, I probably won’t be able to find it again, right?
Special times create special ideas.

After the millennium, most of the children of women who remarried with children would not think that their biological mother and stepfather were true love, nor would they acknowledge the stepfather's dedication to them. Instead, they would think that the stepfather was just taking advantage of the situation.

It’s better to have your own children. If they do something right, praise them. If they do something wrong, you can beat or scold them. It doesn’t matter whether the punishment is light or heavy.

"Empress Tang, have you found the child's mother?" Master Wang stood up and asked when he saw Tang Zhitong coming back.

"Yes, I returned the child to her." Tang Zhitong nodded and gave a brief account of the woman's situation, but did not mention that he had kept the money and food coupons.

"Well, this person still has a conscience. He wants to find a good family for the child. Many families throw their children into the river right after they are born." After listening to this, Master Wang sighed, pushed his bicycle, and planned to continue delivering the babies.

Tang Zhitong followed silently behind, adding in his mind: It's okay to just throw it into the river, I'm just afraid of throwing it into the pot...

After swallowing a piece of candy, Master Wang's hands stopped shaking before he returned to the branch office, although his face still looked bad.

Tang Zhitong watched Master Wang continue to eat sweet potato flour steamed bread at noon, and knew why the female comrade who abandoned the child in the morning chose him.

Whether in terms of your clothes, facial expression, or spirit, I am considered a "good person" in the eyes of others, right?
Tang Zhitong scratched his head after the meal. It was all right now. The faces of the investigation team members were generally better than those of the municipal bureau staff here, so he was not so noticeable among them.

But in another eight or nine months, the city would also enter the peak of famine, and by then, my family would probably be conspicuous.

Looking at the deliverymen's faces that were dark due to wind and sun, Tang Zhitong suddenly thought of an idea. Why not try getting tanned?

Being dark not only makes your appearance lower, but also covers up part of your rosy face.

Student Xiao Wang was born with fair skin, and it was not pleasant for him to be sunburned. Tang Zhitong felt a little reluctant and sighed in his heart, thinking, let's wait and see. When the time comes, maybe there will be a better way.
After lunch, Tang Zhitong went to visit "Jiang Bridge" again.

This time I didn’t stay in Jiangbei, but went to Jiangnan.

It is not accurate to say Jiangnan, because the direction of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge is more east-west, but the people nearby are accustomed to calling it Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

The reason why Tang Zhitong didn't go to Jiangbei was because someone met him when he bought a river pig yesterday, and he was worried that someone would throw a child to him again.

There are many people buying and selling fish in Wuhan. Tang Zhitong also saw people pushing carts or carrying baskets to the market. In terms of the environment, it is more relaxed than that of the old city.

So Tang Zhitong didn't have to spend much effort or money to get back on the boat.

The natural purpose of getting on the boat is to catch fish.

There are only a limited number of boats in the Yangtze River at present, and they are not very big. The power is almost entirely manual, and the fishing nets are pitifully small, so even if a family-killing net is used, it is not enough to catch all the fish in the Yangtze River.

Tang Zhitong boarded the boat this time under the name of "reporter", saying that he was on board to investigate the types of fish.

These days reporters talk nonsense and painters paint nonsense, but the names are scary enough to fool ordinary people.

The fishermen still fish, throwing their nets into the river. The nets are not big, so whether they can catch anything depends entirely on luck.

Fishermen don't even hope to catch big fish in their nets, because big fish are very strong and the nets are not that strong. In nine out of ten cases, the big fish will make a big hole in the nets, and then they will not be able to catch any fish and will have to go home to mend the nets.

Tang Zhitong had it hanging on him, and apart from catching fish himself, he would occasionally stuff two fish into the fishing net.

The main reason is that there are too many types of fish in the Yangtze River, and Tang Zhitong doesn’t recognize many of them. Since he has caught them, he must know how to eat them, right?

Apart from asking the chef, I’m afraid only the fishermen on the riverside know how to make it delicious.

The uglier you are, the longer your sentence will be.

In addition to those that are edible, Tang Zhitong can also accurately identify which fish are rare. He plans to store them first and release them when the quantity is low.

"You reporters are also investigating how to eat it?" After several times, the fisherman could not help but ask.

"Well, there is not enough food, so we have to find something else to fill our stomachs. But we can't just look for food randomly. What if it is poisonous?" Tang Zhitong said righteously, as if he had really obtained authorization from the newspaper.

The fisherman shook his head and muttered something in dialect.

Tang Zhitong didn't understand, but looking at the dissatisfied expression of the fisherman, he could probably guess what he wanted to express, which was nothing more than "you have nothing better to do".
