The torch was swaying in the breeze, and in the quiet night, there was only the sound of crying and begging for mercy. Everyone looked at Tian Minyan, waiting for her to speak.

Relying on the light of the fire, Tian Minyan looked at the mother and child hugged together on the ground. The mother was not yet seventy years old, but she was only 50 years old, but her hair was already gray and her body was thin.

And the man thanked the rogue Xie Gouzi, then shrugged his head and knelt on the ground and cried with his old mother. How could he be so proud of picking mulberry fruits to sell that day?

Orphaned and widowed, the frail body really makes people feel sad, especially the mother, I heard that Xie Gouzi and the others are not all from Yangmei Village, but came here to take root when they were young.

People who heard the gossip said that his father died when Xie Gouzi was one year old, and his uncle bullied their orphans and widowed mothers to take over the fields of the family. It was even more shameless to say that Mrs. Xie was Xie Gouzi, and his father's bones were not cold yet. Just seduce men, and force them to death.Aunt Xie is also a strong one. She doesn't want any land or anything, she just took her own loom, and took her children to a faraway place to raise her only son by weaving.

Xu had no father to teach him, and he spoiled him since he was a child, so Xie Gouzi became like a bully, often stealing his mother's money to spend, and when he grew up, he became a rascal.It's really pitiful to the parents of the world. If they were not afraid that they would send Xie Gouzi to the officials, Aunt Xie would not have hit Xie Gouzi hard first.

Can you spare him?

Tian Minyan pursed her lips and thought for a while, then asked, "Let me ask you, how did you come up with the idea of ​​stealing into our house?"

Xie Gouzi faltered and said nothing, and one of the crowd who might be close to Xie Gouzi's family yelled and dragged him to the official without saying a word. He immediately said, "I'll say it, I'll say it."

It turned out that it was exactly as Tian Minyan had imagined, the three of them sold cakes to earn money, and bought land to build public huts. If they didn't get rich, how could they make such a big fuss?

He also heard that old man Tian was going to Henghe, and he also saw Tian Huairen and the old man going to Henghe with his own eyes. He thought that there must be no man in the Tian family tonight, so he became ill-intentioned and wanted to make some money. Flowers.

But as it happened, he followed Tian Huairen's carriage out of the town, and when he arrived at the town, he was dragged by someone who was drinking flower wine together, so he had to go for a drink, and he didn't come home until dark, so he didn't know Tian Minyan About her uncle's visit.

This is also what he deserved. He thought that there was no man, but who knew that there was not only one, but also a thick one. His feet were swollen after that stick.

Tian Minyan sneered after hearing this, and asked again: "What about the front, how do you know that mulberry fruit can be sold for money?"

Xie Gouzi smiled complacently when he heard this, but seeing Daotian Minyan's cold face, he flinched a bit, suppressed his smile and said embarrassingly: "I heard what you and your brother said at the pit that day. , In order to verify whether the fruit is really edible, I ate it for two days, and I picked it up and sold it when I saw nothing happened."

Tian Minyan was so angry that she scolded: "Well, thank you rascal, you really have two hands. I waited for that fruit for a month, and it seems that it can be sold for money, so you just give me one. Well, this is also my own. What are you going to say about what happened tonight?"

"My family buys fields and lands, neither grabbing nor stealing, all of which are earned by the hard work of the whole family. You can see that we sell cakes very lightly, but you don't know what the day is. We just got up, you haven't turned around at that time, but my little brother got up and helped to light the fire." Tian Minyan snorted coldly and said loudly: "We are all from the same village, we have never been embarrassed No one has ever been jealous of anyone. If someone has something, that is his ability. Why should he be jealous? This wealth is earned by oneself. If you steal and rob, you can steal gold and silver? Does this silver make you feel at ease? You are no longer afraid of being punished by God."

"Everyone says that when you go up to the mountains, you will eventually meet a tiger. You Xie Gouzi is even more unlucky. You were caught the first time you tried it. You dare to be a gentleman on the beam with your ass!"

"I'm just unlucky, you pay for what you give." Xie Gouzi muttered, shaking his head.

"Xie Gouzi, you have bad intentions. This time I can't steal my house. Maybe I will steal another house. We are all from the same village. Instead of being caught and beaten to death next time, why don't you be sent to prison now?" Sitting squatting is better than your mother's sad death when a white-headed man sends a black-headed man to death." Tian Minyan snorted, winked at his uncle and said, "Uncle, tie him up, and we will send him to the county government at dawn. "

"Don't, don't pull me, I won't dare to steal anymore." Xie Gouzi became anxious when he heard it, and screamed, "I'm the one who was infatuated today, girl, please forgive me once. I won't steal from you anymore, no, I won't steal from people in our village either."

"You bastard, tie it up, tie it up, Tian's girl is right, it's better to go to prison than my white-headed man to send a black-headed man." Aunt Xie slapped him hard on the shoulder twice.

"Mother, don't, I really don't dare! I swear, I swear it will be done!" Xie Gouzi knelt up, pointing to the sky and swear: "I will correct my evil and return to the right today. If I dare to do such a bad thing in the future, I will die!" God bless me with a good death." Seeing Tian Minyan's unmoved look, he gritted his teeth and said, "If I mess around again, then, then, please bless my mother with a bad death, will it be over?"

I swear by my own mother, no matter how bad you are, you will have some conscience, Tian Minyan squinted her eyes, snorted and said: "This is not enough."

Xie Gouzi suddenly cried and said, "Auntie, I swear on my mother, what else do you want?"

Tian Minyan snorted, squinted and said: "Everyone knows that I just bought a hundred acres of wasteland, and I will open up this wasteland in the near future. Xie Gouzi, if you don't want to see the official, you can open up wasteland for my family." Pause After a pause, he continued: "But just eat, it doesn't count as wages."

"Ah?" Xie Gouzi was dumbfounded and opened his mouth wide.

"If you don't want to, then see the official. Uncle, I'm tied up."

"I wish, I wish, I wish." Xie Gouzi agreed with a wry smile, anyway, he has nothing serious to do, and he can save food for his mother.

"Okay! You said that, and I didn't force you. The fathers and villagers have all witnessed it. If this Xie Gouzi can't do it in the future, hehe!" Tian Minyan rolled his eyes and said: "Also, if If something is lost in my house, you are the one who did it thanks to Gouzi."

"Ah?" Xie Gouzi was dumbfounded again, and thumped the ground hard.Today, stealing chickens is really a waste of rice. Not only did they fall into the hands of others and beat them up, but they also made them slaves. That’s not counting, and they have to guard the Tian’s house so that those thieves don’t worry about it. Otherwise, it all depends on him.

But Xie Gouzi didn't know that the evil intentions in his head tonight turned the wheel of fate for him. Many years later, he became the powerful chief manager of the Tian family, and he often said to the people under him: "A wrong thought will often lead to failure. Turning the road in front of you completely reversed, whether it is good or bad depends on who is standing in front of you. In my life, I have only fallen into the hands of the second lady of the Tian family, but I am also fortunate to have fallen into her hands. "

After everything was settled, Tian Minyan said that it disturbed everyone's dreams. If there is a banquet tomorrow, everyone will be invited to have a drink, and they will all disperse.

After going home, the west wing was already brightly lit, and Gao Shi was still wearing a coat and stood at the door looking around. When he saw Tian Minyan and the others coming back, he hurriedly went up to him: "Have you caught the thief?"

"Auntie, let's go talk in the room, be careful about the cold." Tian Minyan supported her, and they entered the west chamber. Luo Shi and Lu Shi were sitting on the kang, and they were relieved to see them coming home.

"Brother, are you hurt?" Luo Shi looked worried.

"My uncle's arm was scratched." Tian Minrui saw with sharp eyes that the clothes on Luo Yaoguang's arm were scratched, and it seemed to be a little red.

Gao Shi exclaimed, his eye circles were red, and he cursed that those who kill thousands of knives will die.

"It's not a problem, it's just a little bit of scratching." Luo Yaoguang felt that it was nothing serious, so he said with a smile.

Where did Gao agree, he forced him to take off his clothes, and saw that the cut was indeed rubbed a little, so he was relieved, but he still insisted on taking the medicine.

"Girl Yan, what are you thinking about letting that Xie Gouzi come to open up wasteland? You can't trust a person like him." Luo Yaoguang let Mrs. Gao be busy, thinking about what happened just now, and asked Tian Minyan.

Over there, Luo Xiaotao had already told what happened outside, and everyone looked at Tian Minyan.

Tian Minyan smiled slightly and said: "Uncle, there is a saying that you have to forgive others and forgive others. They are all in the same village. If you look down and don't look up, there is no need to make it so stiff, lest people see us as cruel. I'm not disappointed. Then again, Mrs. Xie is a bit pitiful. The widowed mother brought up such a son, does it really make her old and homeless? You must know that this yamen has entered, and if it comes out, it will peel off its skin even if it is not dead. People are in a hurry, and in order to get revenge, I don't know what he will do in the future."

"Then there's no need for him to open up wasteland, he's a scoundrel." Tian Minrui was a little puzzled.

"Brother, let me ask you, our land is definitely going to be reclaimed. We always have to find someone. There are too many people and things to do, and we need someone to take care of them. Do you want to find someone who knows everything about it? You don’t understand anything?” Tian Minyan squinted at him: “Xie Gouzi is a bit of a rogue, but since he dared to eat the mulberry fruit that no one dared to eat, and then sold it, he would It proves that he has some guts. Although the people he knows are of the same kind, they are nothing more than rogues, but sometimes, these people are very useful!"

Whether to set up an enemy, or to pull that enemy over to his own formation, no one would choose the latter.Although Xie Gouzi is a rascal, but he has the guts that most people don't have, and he is also a little smart. If it were someone else, would he eat the fruit that is said to eat the dead just based on what he heard?

And based on the fact that he dared to swear by his mother, Tian Minyan dared to believe that this person did not bury his conscience, that is, he was spoiled. This kind of person, as long as he is well used, will still be of great use in the future of.

"what do you mean?"

"This Xie Gouzi not only needs to use it, but in the future, if he really has some courage and ability, I will use it a lot." Tian Minyan smiled, with a calculating but confident star in his eyes.
