Time Travel: My Wife Is Busy in Farming

Chapter 269 Kneeling in the Ancestral Hall

Li Zheng motioned to a few strong men, "You guys come here, take them to the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village and kneel down there. Don't give them water or food for three days and three nights. I'll leave this matter to you." , you can take turns to go home for dinner, but just watch them, if they run away. "

Li Zheng turned to Su Xiangdong and Su Bingcheng and said gloomily. Although the tone was very kind, it was said so coldly that it made people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar instantly.

"If they run away halfway, if you catch them, beat them hard!"

When Su Bingcheng and Su Xiangdong heard this, they were so scared that they were shaking like chaff.

"No, clan leader, Uncle Li Zheng, you can't do this to me!"

Old Mrs. Wang also rushed forward, but only her youngest son was protected.

She cried and howled: "Master Patriarch, you can't do this! My son Su Bingcheng is a scholar and is not in good health. Let alone stay in that ancestral hall for three days without food or water, he will be affected by the cold even if he stays for a while. The wind blows something wrong!"

It is true that April is still late for spring, and it just rained lightly. The air is both humid and cool.

The ancestral hall that the old patriarch mentioned was ventilated everywhere and had no windows. There was a Buddha statue inside. Those who were punished had to kneel in front of the Buddha statue and sincerely repent.

As for why the windows were not repaired, there were still big cracks on the walls, and the house was dilapidated, the reason was very simple, just one word: "poor!"

What else could it be?
If you come here and kneel for a day, good people will be punished with all kinds of problems, and they will not be allowed to eat or drink.

It seems that Su Bingcheng and the others are in danger. Can Mrs. Wang not feel sorry for her son? She hurried over to protect her precious son, but Su Xiangdong took one look and only protected his younger brother Su Bingcheng. He only said something about Su Bingcheng being a scholar and why he was in poor health, but he didn't have anything to do with him.

Su Xiangdong was unhappy, thinking that his mother only thought that her brother was a scholar and couldn't bear it? Is that all he can do? He is not the same, he is also made of flesh and blood, and he cannot bear to be made like this!

Li Zheng frowned and said, "Old girl, you'd better pay attention to your words and deeds. Don't challenge the old patriarchs here!"

Old Mrs. Wang was still unwilling to let go. When Old Patriarch Su saw it, he pointed at Old Mrs. Wang and said, "Aren't you worried about your son? It just so happens that you are also responsible for this matter. Why don't you go and kneel down together?" Go and accompany them, just in time to take care of your sons!"

"Aha?"

Old Mrs. Wang really didn't expect that the old patriarch would come like this.

She wondered, why does this old patriarch become less and less useful as he gets older? He is over 70 years old today, and the older he gets, the less important he is, and the older he gets, the worse he becomes!

Mrs. Wang was immediately dumbfounded. Several other strong men came over and pulled Old Mrs. Wang down together. Old Man Su didn't even dare to come forward to speak or persuade her, let alone Su Xiu'er. She could only cry and catch her by the side. Hold her mother's hand and don't let go.

The old patriarch took a look and said, "If you don't want to leave, let's go there together. The ancestral hall in the village is very big!"

Su Xiuer quickly let go of her mother's hand without hesitation for half a second.

When Su Ping'an saw that this matter was such a big deal, he actually felt quite uncomfortable. He wanted to come over and persuade her not to punish her so harshly. After all, his mother was older.

But Tang Xiaoman grabbed his hand and told him not to go over.

Su Pingan lowered his head and said nothing. The old patriarch now knew that Li Zheng was talking to him about Su Pingan's deeds that led the villagers to make a fortune. The way he looked at Su Pingan now, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

Su Ping'an now looks very knowledgeable in both conversation and etiquette, which is really lovable. Su Pingan thanked all the clan leaders, "Uncle Li Zheng, clan leader, it is I, Su Pingan, who has troubled everyone today, and I am very sorry for this. I agree with this decision!"

When the old patriarch heard this, he was very happy and prepared to go back.

Su Ping'an also politely wanted to stay for dinner, but the old patriarch refused.

The old patriarch has always been very fair and upright, which is why he is deeply loved by the people in the village.

He spoke with great weight. He did not say anything about staying, and left one after another with several other clan leaders.

When Li Zheng was leaving, he took Su Pingan's hand and said, "Ping An, I don't know if I did this right or not. I wonder if I have wronged you?"

"Uncle, what are you talking about? I have not been wronged."

"That's good!"

After Li Zheng said these words, he left the Su family.

After these people left, Old Man Su let out a deep breath and fell on the kang, dazed.

Su Xiuer then remembered to cry. Her mother had been taken away, but she couldn't do anything.

Old Man Su made her cry very upset and walked out of the house directly.

When Tang Xiaoman saw it, he dragged Su Pingan out of the house.

Why are you still staying in this house if you don't leave? Are you waiting for that girl Su Xiuer to come over and scold them? But now this girl doesn't dare to make such a mistake. When Li Zheng and the old patriarch left, they said that it would be fine if Su Xiuer didn't help the family pay off the debt. If anything else caused trouble at home, she would And handed it over to Li Zheng and the others.

To put it clearly, Su Xiuer, you are being targeted!
Su Xiuer had no choice but to sob and cry by herself, looking as if she was too aggrieved. Mrs. Zhao ignored her and went out to hide.

She had to wait until her husband Su Wangcai came home to talk about this matter with him. After all, for such a big thing, it was not a small debt.

Ms. Zhao also knew that things at home were in a mess now, and she understood her position, although she was very jealous and dissatisfied with Tang Xiaoman's family.

However, she quite supported Su Ping'an in this matter and felt that he did the right thing.

If this matter happened to her, she would probably be as heartbroken as Su Pingan.

After all, human hearts are made of flesh, so she has no other opinion on this. Fortunately, my husband Su Wangcai was working outside and not at home, otherwise he would have been arrested and punished in the ancestral hall.

It can also be seen from this incident that no matter whether it is right or wrong, Li Zheng and the clan leader are even more biased towards Su Ping'an.

After all, Su Ping'an has made a great contribution to the village, and he deserves credit. Besides, he is still reasonable in this matter. What else can be said.

Mrs. Zhao walked out of the door and spit on the ground casually.

At this time, she only had two words in her heart: "You deserve it!"
