Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 135 Aren’t all the bad things here?

Hua Lei felt warm in the heart and said with a smile, "Grandmother Pei is really thoughtful. We are just planning to go to the yamen to take a look. Thank you, Butler Pei." "It's my duty." Butler Pei said a few polite words, and several of them got on the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion.

Tian Dacheng and his friends were a little scared. They rarely rode in ox carts in the countryside, let alone horse carriages. Not long after Lei'er and her friends left last year, two tall and big guard-like men came to Tongde Town and quietly inquired about where Lei'er and her friends were going.

Later, the two men came to her house, claiming to be old friends of Lei'er's grandfather, and came to pick Lei'er up to go to the capital. Because she was worried that the two men had bad intentions, she did not tell Lei'er about them.

It seems that the two people should be old friends of Lei'er's grandfather? It seems that I was a mean person at the beginning. Seeing that the housekeeper Pei was respectful to Lei'er today, without any neglect, Lei'er should be living well in Shangjing City. Tian Dacheng quietly put aside the worries he had been having for more than a year.

The carriage left Qingyun Lane, but did not go to the government office. Hua Lei curiously lifted the curtain and asked Butler Pei, and then she learned that people serving sentences in the government office did not really sit in the cell all day long. Instead, they were taken to a unified place in the government office to work.

Tian Dayou and his group were taken to a logging site in the northern part of the city to cut trees. Although it was logging, there was also a division of labor. For example, Tian Changshi and Tian Xiaoxing did not go up the mountain because of their inconvenience in walking. Instead, they sat in the timber yard at the foot of the mountain, removing the branches and leaves from the whole big trees that came down from the mountain, and then cut them into certain lengths and stacked them for storage.

The carriage traveled for more than half an hour and finally arrived at the logging site in the northern part of the city. Hua Lei and Tian Dacheng got off the carriage. Butler Pei had already gone into a wooden house next to the logging site to look for the manager there.

After two cups of tea, Butler Pei came out with a note. He took Hualei back to the carriage and drove north for less than a quarter of an hour before arriving at a lumberyard called "Xiu Ren".

Looking at the words "Xiu Ren" at the door, Hua Lei really thought that this name was well chosen, simple, rough and clear. Butler Pei handed the note to the yamen runner guarding the door. The yamen runner took it and looked at it, then called a colleague next to him to lead Hua Lei and his group to a corner of the logging yard.

The timber yard was full of piles of timber, divided into different piles according to the thickness of the timber. Hualei and his group followed the yamen runners in front of them, and after walking for about a cup of tea, they finally arrived.

All I heard was the yamen runner yelling, "Tian Dayou, Tian Changshi, your family is visiting. Please rest for 25 minutes. Start counting immediately."

Before Hualei could see who was who, she heard a dry howl, "Brother, you are finally here, woo woo woo." Tian Dayou, who was originally thin, was now just skin and bones. He howled when he saw Tian Dacheng.

Tian Changshi next to him was just like Tian Dayou copied and pasted again, both were exactly the same thin. When he saw Tian Dacheng, Tian Changshi also started to howl. However, Tian Xiaoxing next to him was still in a relatively stable mood.

Tian Dacheng stepped forward, looked around, sighed, and said a few words of comfort. Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Zhong, who were tidying up branches in the distance, heard the call and rushed over. Tian Xiaomei cried as soon as she saw Tian Changmu, "Dad..." Mrs. Zhong also stood aside and wiped her tears.

Hua Lei pulled Xiao Yuan forward to greet them. When Mrs. Lu saw Hua Lei, she got angry and said directly, "Hua girl, you are happy. You are here to laugh at our jokes again today."

"Third brother's wife, what are you talking about? Lei'er and her brother came to see you with good intentions, and not only are you ungrateful, but now you are talking nonsense?" Tian Dacheng scolded.

"Uncle, it's Hua girl who made us suffer here." Mrs. Lu cried and stretched out her hands. For the past three months, she had been chopping branches and splitting wood here like the men every day. She didn't eat well and didn't sleep well. Her originally plump and fair hands were now like dry dead bark, cracked and with traces of red blood. Not only were they ugly, but they also hurt. She couldn't even lift chopsticks. Chopping branches with a machete every day was like torture.

"Did Hua Yatou tie you up and bring you to the capital? Did Hua Yatou let you extort money from her? You still have the nerve to say that. You have disgraced Xiao Yang and Xiao Liu. Xiao Yang's wife also abandoned the child and ran back to her parents' home. You still have the nerve to cry and complain?" Tian Dacheng was angry.

Ever since the news that Tian Dayou's family had committed a crime in Shangjing City and been imprisoned spread back to Dade Town, he and his sons dared not go out. People watched the joke, took advantage of the situation, and talked behind their backs. The Tian family became a laughing stock in the entire Dade Town.

Unable to bear the gossips of others, Tian Xiaoyang's wife left her child and went back to her parents' home crying. She hasn't been back for more than two months. The two-year-old child cries every day for food and for his mother. On the one hand, Tian Dayou's wife was exhausted from taking care of her grandson and great-grandson. On the other hand, she was probably angry and scared, so she fell ill and has been lying in bed for more than a month.

He couldn't bear to see this, so he asked his sons and daughters-in-law to help look after the second house. Now he brought his sons and nephews to travel thousands of miles, swallowing his anger and running here to pick up these unrepentant guys. Tian Dacheng became even angrier.

"Uncle, you said that Xiao Yang's wife ran back to her parents' home without caring about the children? Well, when we first met, I said that this was not a good thing, not a good thing, and I turned out to be right. After we go back, I will let Xiao Yang divorce him." Tian Changshi jumped up on the side.

With a "bang", Tian Dacheng's palm as big as a palm fan fell heavily on Tian Changshi's head. Tian Changshi, who had just recovered from a foot injury and was still unsteady on his feet, staggered and saw stars in his eyes.

"Isn't it good? Aren't all the good people in the Tian family here? You still want to divorce them? Wait until you return to Dade Town and finish your jail term before you say this. See if you have the chance?" Mrs. Lu was a female relative, so it was difficult for Tian Dacheng to take action. Looking at his good-for-nothing nephew, Tian Dacheng did not hold back.

"Oh, uncle, I........." Tian Changshi howled again. Hualei took out a basket of big meat buns she brought with her, put them on the wood rack next to her, and looked at Tian Da and the others, "Second uncle, do you want to eat some buns?" When he heard there were buns, Tian Changshi stopped howling, hurried over, took two buns, found a piece of wood, sat on it, and began to devour them.

Several people from Tianda also gathered around, took the buns, found a place to sit down, and started to eat them. In the past three months, except for the buns brought by Hualei Faction Fu Bo Pingan and others when they came to visit him, he had never smelled the smell of meat.
