Pastoral Pamper: Nongmen's Little Fortune Girl

Chapter 10 The Death of Tan Xinghe

Xu Rong was unwilling, but she also knew that it was impossible to divide the family. As long as Tan Xinghe was a scholar, the family would not be able to divide. They still had to rely on him to reduce or exempt the land tax.

Tan Wenning thought of such a big commotion just now, Tan Xinghe had already woken up, why didn't she speak now?
Tan Wenning panicked, and quickly ran to the shack next door. Everyone was shocked by her sudden operation.

Tan Wenning walked into the shack, and the smell of blood rushed to her face. Her eyes flickered, and then she saw the situation inside clearly. She saw Tan Xinghe's head down, her body was still on the edge of the bed, and there was a lot of blood on the ground. There was blood, and the bedding was scattered on the bed.

"Father, how are you?" Tan Wenning hurried forward, and turned Tan Xinghe's body over with difficulty.

When the others heard the voice, they also ran over one after another.

Tan Xinghe struggled to open his eyes, his breath was already very weak at this time, "Is it Ning, Ning'er?"

"Father, it's me, it's me, you wait, I'll ask my little sister to find a doctor for you." Tan Wenning put Tan Xinghe's slightly cool palm on her cheek, but her tears couldn't stop Live and fall.

Tan Wenyue was about to run out to find the barefoot doctor in the village, but was stopped by Tan Xinghe.

"Yue'er, no, no need, I know my body, I don't need to waste money, I'm going to find your mother, ahem..., I haven't let her have a good day in this life, I hope she will come to life Don't meet me anymore." A line of clear tears flowed from the corner of Tan Xinghe's eyes.

"Ning'er, after I leave, my younger siblings will be entrusted to you. Daddy is sorry for you. I also want to see you grow up safely, but I can't. If there is an afterlife, cough cough, I will definitely be a good husband. Good father... I cough, I have to find your mother." Another trace of blood overflowed from the corner of Tan Xinghe's mouth.

For a while, Tan Zichen, Tan Wenyue, and Tan Wenwan all started crying in the shack. After all, they lost their mother first, and now their father is almost gone. No matter how strong they are usually, they can't hold back the tears in their eyes now up.

Tan Xinghe's gaze gradually faded, and the image of the first time he met his wife appeared in his mind. It was a sunny afternoon, he went to the Master's Mansion to study, but when he passed by Taoyuan, he saw a small The girl was under the tree, holding a one-meter-long stick on her feet, and was beating peaches under the tree.

With just that one glance, he couldn't forget that girl, and later learned that she was the daughter of his wife's family. He had always been born in a poor family and was not worthy of her, but for her, he also wanted to stand out and let her marry him in style.

After that, every time he went to his wife's mansion, he could always see her. On the day he was selected as a scholar, he couldn't help it. After all, he was not young anymore, and she was also at the age to get married. So he boldly went to the Master's house to propose marriage.

On the day of proposing marriage, he used the money he earned from copying books for a year to buy her a silver hairpin. Now that I think about it, it was probably the best thing he bought for her.

He only brought this with him when he went to propose marriage, and it was the money he saved with great difficulty. His mother was not willing to pay him a dowry at all. From childhood to adulthood, no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't get her care. Sometimes he doubted whether he was Not her own son.

But this is obviously impossible. He once asked his father, and his father told him that he was conceived by his mother in October, but he almost died of dystocia when giving birth to him, so he treated him like this, let him Don't get her wrong.

For this matter, he tolerated everything, so that his wife suffered a lot of grievances. At that time, he thought that his wife would not marry his daughter to him. Unexpectedly, he finally agreed. If his father-in-law knew that Shuniang had died Yes, I'm afraid it will be very sad.

His eyes gradually became lax, and when he was dying, he seemed to see his wife coming to pick him up. He looked at his tearful son and daughter with reluctance, and struggled to say the last sentence: "Ning'er, if you can't go on, Go to Qing County to find your grandfather."

He knew in his heart that after his death, life for his children would be even more difficult, so he wanted to finally point out a way for them.

After Tan Xinghe finished saying this, his eyes closed, and his hands dropped powerlessly.

"Father!" Tan Wenning yelled sadly, and Tan Zichen next to her also hugged Tan Xinghe's leg and cried.

Tan Wenyue also rushed forward. Seeing that her sister and brother were crying, Tan Wenwan also started crying.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the shack became heavy, and Tan Fugui also stood silently aside, feeling very bitter in his heart. After Tan Xinghe died, his prestige among the village chiefs would drop a lot, and these children were afraid It's also difficult.

In fact, he also knows that the life of these children is not easy, and he doesn't know what Mrs. Zhang thinks. Her son is the only scholar in the village. She doesn't cherish it. Instead, she tortures him desperately. I really don't know What do you think in your head, it's all right now, the tossing is gone.

Their family has always been the envy of the villagers. After all, they can be exempted from land taxes. Now that Xinghe dies, let's see if they will regret it. It's just that these children have suffered, and the youngest is still in their infancy. I guess they will have to rely on girl Ning It is impossible to count on Mrs. Zhang.

Xu Rong didn't come back to her senses for a long time, her first feeling was carefree, these two eyesores are dead, and then, suddenly remembered, Tan Xinghe is dead, what about their land tax?
Tan Wenning felt sad for a while, and then she recovered. Now this is a good time to separate the family. Anyway, these people won't raise them. If she gets rich, this group of people will be like brown sugar, I can't shake it off.

So Tan Wenning gently wiped away her tears, then knelt down in front of Tan Fugui and said sadly: "Grandpa, the village chief, now my parents are both dead, and my grandma has never liked us, and we don't have money to do funerals for my parents." , I can only let the village chief grandpa uphold justice, and let grandma help with the funeral."

Xu Rong was still thinking about something, but suddenly she was shocked by Tan Wenning's words. She was very reluctant to help Qin Shuniang with the funeral alone, and now Tan Xinghe was added, and Tan Xinghe died Well, their family's land tax is also unavoidable. In this case, it's better to separate the family directly, so that they don't need to pay them for funerals, and they don't have to support these few people who eat rice.

"It's natural, don't worry, your grandma has to do this, after all, it's a family." Tan Fugui stroked the beard on his chin and said softly.

These children are pitiful enough. This matter should be done by Lao Tan's family, so it's nothing if he helps to talk about it.

When Xu Rong heard a creak in her heart, she hurriedly turned her head and took Han Shan to slip away from behind. She had to go back and tell her mother-in-law to deal with it earlier.
