Chapter 299 The cruel truth

Chapter 299: The Cruel Truth

When Mr. Tan saw his son's expression, his heart skipped a beat.

Regardless of whether Shen Huairen's family was still in the room, he quickly stepped forward and asked Tan Decai in a low voice, "Third brother, what's wrong?"

Tan Decai glanced at Shen Huairen and his wife before responding in a low voice, "Father, something happened to the fifth child."

"What, what happened to the fifth child?" Although Tan Decai's voice was low, Mrs. Zhao could still hear what he said, and with a sway, he hurried forward and grabbed his arm, asking with serious eyes.

Shen Huairen and Zheng Wanru also looked at each other with worried expressions.

Tan Dejin and Mrs. Xu also rushed forward to ask Tan Decai, asking him to speak clearly about what happened to Tan Deyou.

Tan Decai wanted to say it in private, but now the words had been yelled out by Mrs. Zhao, so he had to say it.

He looked at Mr. Tan and said, "Father, the gentleman from Lao Wu School came over and said..."

"What are you talking about?" Mr. Tan's eyes also froze, and his voice trembled.

"Mr. said that the fifth child has not been to school for several days." Tan Decai replied.

"What?" Mr. Tan also trembled.

"I haven't been to school for a few days, so... where did the fifth one go?" Mrs. Zhao couldn't help howling.

Tan Deyou didn't go to school for a few days, and he wasn't at home, so where would he go?Will something happen?
Tan Dejin and his wife also darkened their faces, and became worried after following.

Mrs. Xu stepped forward to help Mrs. Zhao, and comforted her in a gentle voice, "Mother, don't worry, let's go to the front yard to find out what's going on with Mr. Zhao, and then we can make plans, okay?"

"Yes, mother, the fifth child is no longer a child, he will be fine." Tan Dejin also comforted.

Shen Huairen thought about it, it's fine if he doesn't know about it, since he already knows, he can't just sit idly by.

He stood up, looked at everyone in the Tan family, and said, "Sister Tan is right, let's go to the front yard to ask Mr. for clarification, and then make a plan. At this time, everyone should not be in a hurry. The more anxious you are, the more you will lose your sense of control .”

Shen Huairen had spoken, and according to what he said, he would help to deal with this matter, and everyone's hearts were inexplicably calmed down a lot.

After saying a few polite words, Shen Huairen followed Mr. Tan and the others to the front yard, and Zheng Wanru couldn't help with finding someone, so she took Shen Nan home first.

The three Qiduo sisters were all busy in the kitchen before, and they didn't know what happened. They didn't know what happened until Zheng Wanru and Shen Nan came to say goodbye.

After cleaning up the house, the three Qiduo sisters raised the lanterns, locked the doors and windows, and went to the front yard of the Tan family together.

In addition to Tan Jiajia and Shen Huairen, there is also an old man with short beard who is about fifty years old in the main room.

The old man was thin, wearing a long blue cloth gown, and he was in good spirits. At this moment, his brows were tightly frowned, and his face was full of worry.

Qiduo and the others knew that this old man should be Mr. Gao, Tan Deyou's husband.

Grandpa Tan sat there without saying a word, his face was very gloomy, and Qiduo could see that his body was trembling slightly.

Judging by his appearance, he should be angry.

"Father, don't worry, we'll go find Lao Wu right now." Tan Dejin stepped forward to comfort Mr. Tan.

Mr. Tan patted the table resentfully, angrily, "No one is allowed to go, no one is allowed to find that naughty son, let him mess around, bastard, spend money to send him to study, don't study hard, carry us around every day The nonsense, it really... really ruined our Tan family's face."

In the past, he had always placed the great responsibility of shining the lintel on Tan Deyou.

Thinking of my son's years of schooling, he has never complained of suffering or being tired. Even if he is not feeling well, he still insists on going to school to study, rain or shine.

The son is quick-witted, smart, coupled with such hard work, it is entirely possible for him to come back with a fame after a few years.

Mr. Tan has always been proud of Tan Deyou, but he never thought that everything he saw was false, and his son was completely different from the outside, and he did the same thing to the face and the other side.

He just learned from Mr. Gao that Tan Deyou often finds excuses not to come to school. He has a headache today, diarrhea the next day, and sores on his feet the day after tomorrow.

Sometimes even in the school, there is less time for serious class, most of the time, together with three or five other students, sneak out of the school and go to the back mountain to play.

There are many things like digging out bird nests, stealing melons from nearby villagers' fields, and picking peaches from trees behind people's houses.

But because it's a trivial matter, the villagers are so honest and kind, and they will say a few words when they see them, and they don't hold them accountable for their faults.

After hearing this, how could Mr. Tan not be annoyed!

Seeing his father getting angry, Tan Dejin sighed slightly, and stepped forward to persuade him, "Father, don't be angry, your body is important. Lao Wu is still young, and he was confused for a while. After we get him back, we will teach him a lesson. Late."

Tan Decai and others joined forces and said yes, saying that they should be brought back first.

Shen Huairen frowned, looked at Mr. Gao, and asked, "Mr. Gao, since Deyou is not serious about studying in school, why didn't you come and tell his parents earlier, so that his parents can strictly control him?" Without discipline, what happened today would not have happened.”

These words brought a question.

This kind of thing will never happen in Huairen Academy.

Like Yan Sihong's behavior in the academy, he has informed the Xu family many times, and asked the Xu family to cooperate with the academy to educate Yan Sihong, rather than relying solely on any one party.

And which student said that if he wants to ask for leave, his parents must come to ask the teacher for leave in person, otherwise it will never be allowed.

This is to guard against students who lie.

Strict discipline makes Huairen Academy better and better, and many people come here to study.

"We have spent a lot of thought on Tan Deyou. He refuses to be disciplined and seeks to make progress, so what can we do?" Old Mr. Gao looked worried, as if he was very dissatisfied with Shen Huairen's words.

But Qiduo nodded in agreement with Shen Huairen's words, that's right, the Tan family spent money to send Tan Deyou to study in the school, so the school should discipline and restrict his behavior.

If the school can't discipline you, then you should tell the Tan family and let the Tan family know about Tan Deyou's performance in the school, instead of ignoring it and not reporting it.I believe that if Mr. Tan knew that his son was like this, he would not let him act recklessly, and he would definitely teach him a lesson.

The school blindly let it go, until finally found that the person disappeared, and then came to say those words, what's the use of it?If something really happened, the school couldn't get away with it.

Because Tan Deyou is boarding in the school, but this school is not as formal as Huairen Academy, Tan Deyou can go home whenever he wants, there is no fixed time.

This allowed Tan Deyou to take advantage of it. Sometimes when he left the school, the gentlemen would think that he had returned home, while the Tan family thought he was in the school, but in fact he had gone somewhere.

What Zhao said next made Qiduo suddenly understand why Mr. Gao was for the Tan family, and immediately felt contempt for Mr. Gao.

Mrs. Zhao wiped away her tears and shouted at Mr. Gao, "Mr. Gao, if it wasn't for my family's Deyou to pay the tuition fee, you probably wouldn't come to our house this time to talk about Deyou."

Everyone looked at Mr. Gao with angry eyes.

At first, I was grateful to him for coming to talk about Tan Deyou at night, but after hearing Mrs. Zhao's words, I realized that he came here for tuition fees.

Before, everyone hated Tan Deyou for not being up to date. After listening to Shen Huairen's words, everyone thought it was very reasonable. Since Mr. Gao knew that Tan Deyou had misbehaved, as a husband, he should discipline or tell the Tan family instead of hiding it. Don't talk.

Mr. Gao's old face suddenly flushed red, and he looked at Mrs. Zhao with some displeasure, "Ms. Tan, you've said that too much. I saw Deyou going to school in a few days, and I was worried about it, so I came here specially." Look at his. Who knew he wasn't home and you not only didn't appreciate it, you said such nasty things anyway.

Hmph, let me tell you, there are a lot of students in our school, not missing one from your family, Tan Deyou.Besides, for a student with bad temper like him, I have a good temper, otherwise I would have been kicked out of the school long ago, hum! "

With that said, he was about to walk away.

Qiduo hurried forward to block him, "Mr. Gao, please calm down first. It's useless for us to say these things now. It's important to find a way to get my fifth uncle back first. If my fifth uncle really has troubles, he is from the school. I believe that your school is also involved in the disappearance, Mr. Gao, we should find someone first, shouldn’t we?”

Seeing Qiduo's lingering eyes, Mr. Gao's complexion froze.

That's right, if Tan Deyou really had an accident, the Tan family would have to demolish the school.

This little girl is not young, but she speaks in an orderly manner, I really can't tell.

Mr. Gao looked at Qiduo a few more times.

He snorted softly and sat down in the previous position.

Shen Huairen looked at Qiduo and nodded lightly, then asked Mr. Gao, "Mr. Gao, besides Deyou, are there any other students in your school who will attend classes in the next few days?"

"There are three more." Mr. Gao nodded, not daring to hide.

"Then what is the relationship between these three people and Deyou? Is it possible for Deyou to go out and play with this person?" Shen Huairen asked again, frowning even more tightly.

I thought in my heart that this kind of school should be banned. If it goes on like this, wouldn't it be a mistake for my children?
"Ah, after your reminder, it's really possible that these people have a good friendship with Tan Deyou, and they didn't come to the hall at about the same time as Tan Deyou." Mr. Gao said in surprise, as if awakened.

He still doesn't know Shen Huairen's true identity.

Qiduo shook her head speechlessly, how can such a confused teacher teach students well?
"Then you have been to the homes of the other people, how many of them are at home?" Shen Huairen's face had already turned black.

The hearts of Old Master Tan and the others were also clenched tightly.

"Not yet, Tan Deyou's house is the nearest one, I'm going to visit some of their houses later." Mr. Gao's face turned purple.

As Mr. Zhao said, because Tan Deyou's tuition fee has arrived, he is worried that Tan Deyou will not go to the school, and the school will lose a sum of income, so he hurried over after eating to care.

Unexpectedly, Tan Deyou disappeared.

This startled him too.

Shen Huairen stood up, "It's not too late, let's go to a few other people's homes first, luckily Xu Deyou may be in one of them."

Blindly looking for Tan Deyou will definitely be fruitless, so he asked Mr. Gao these questions just to find some clues.

Except for the female relatives of the Tan family, all the other men went out together.

Several people took the carriages of Tan Dejin and Shen's family, and under the guidance of Mr. Gao, they hurried to the homes of the other three.
