Chapter 496: Two Daughters of the Teng Family
Teng Qingshan was silent and spoke after a long time.
"Everyone knows that we Lutian people don't accept financial gifts. It was my father's decision to save face. At that time, my little aunt only recognized that poor scholar. She felt that since she was wielding a big blade all day long, she should find an educated person. At that time, she thought that the scholar
I'm honest, but I didn't realize until soon after I got married... I should call him cowardly."
People in Lutian only knew that the president's aunt was married to a scholar. They didn't know much about it in detail. They didn't even know what happened to him after that. It was as if this person disappeared from the world and never heard from the two presidents.
Zi mentioned it.
Fang Haotian knew the ending from Grandpa Teng's story. The old man of the Teng family was forced to rebel and led a whole town to become bandits. However, his son-in-law was very cowardly and pedantic. On the surface, he claimed to be loyal to the emperor and the country, but in fact he was afraid of being accused of rebellion.
, and even wanted to take the imperial examination.
The old man of the Teng family was almost angry to death. The Qing Dynasty was almost over. His son-in-law still wanted to take the imperial examination? He even talked nonsense about being loyal to the emperor and the country. If the court had the ability, it would still be possible after being bullied by foreign devils.
Signing a Xin Chou treaty that was humiliating and humiliating the country?
If there was no way for his daughter to stop him, Mr. Teng would definitely kill someone, but because his daughter begged him so hard, he couldn't kill him. How could Mr. Teng leave his daughter with his pedantic son-in-law, and when he was about to take her away, he was rejected by her daughter.
"Dad, when your daughter marries into the Shi family, she will be a member of the Shi family, and when she dies, she will be a member of the Shi family. Just pretend that you never gave birth to an unfilial daughter like me..." Teng Qingshan's sister-in-law knelt in front of the old man and said this.
talk.
The three obediences and four virtues are worthless in the eyes of the Teng family. Being able to say such things proves that she still loves her husband, no matter how pedantic and cowardly he is.
"What happened next?" Fang Haotian knew that this was not the reason why Grandpa Teng was against Teacher Yue and Sister Jingyao.
"Later... there was no later... The old man severed the father-daughter relationship with his sister-in-law and ran away before the officials arrived... In the end, the younger uncle was appreciated by the county magistrate, and even the literary talent was favored by the governor's daughter... The little aunt was then
I'm done..." Teng Qingshan's tone was filled with sadness.
The abandoned daughter of the Teng family still did not give up on her husband. As she said... death was also the fault of the Shi family, so she committed suicide in front of the Shi family's ancestral grave with a divorce note.
When the Revolution of 1911 broke out, the government had no energy to arrest people. When Mr. Teng came out again, he was completely separated from his daughter. Furious, he found his son-in-law, only to find that his pedantic and cowardly son-in-law had transformed into a revolutionary in the Tongmenghui.
No one knows what happened at that time. Mr. Teng returned to the mountains again to continue being a bandit, and the pedantic and cowardly son-in-law did not die. Anyway, during the decades of turmoil the Chinese nation had experienced, he never left the mountains...
It wasn't until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War that Teng Qingshan's father, King Teng Yuan, went out to kill the Japanese alone. He never thought of joining the revolutionary army.
"I don't know what stimulated my grandfather at that time. Anyway, we have set a rule that men of the Teng family should never be other people's slaves. Daughters of the Teng family can only marry people in the village and are absolutely not allowed to marry outside...especially those who are scholars!" Teng Qingshan smiled bitterly.
said.
This shows how much Mr. Teng hated the scholars because of his daughter's death. Fang Haotian sighed in his heart, no wonder the people in Lutian Township never went to school until the past ten years. Moreover, when Teacher Yue first came to Taoyuan Village,
, why are they so hostile to the villagers?
Just when Fang Haotian thought this was the reason, he heard Teng Qingshan continue.
"But...my sister likes someone from outside..."
That was during the Anti-Japanese War. Teng Qingshan's sister rescued a seriously injured man. She was soon attracted by the man's conversation and fell in love. Regardless of all opposition and obstruction, and even threatened suicide, she followed this man and left the village.
.
This man was an officer, coincidentally also named Shi Guangchi, but the fate of Teng Qingshan's sister was still tragic. Although the two loved each other very much, when the Anti-Japanese War ended and the Chinese Civil War also decided the winner, Shi Guangchi, as the defeated side, had to
He evacuated with the army and went to Treasure Island.
At that time, Teng Qingshan's sister came to the village to visit relatives. When she found out that she had been abandoned by her husband and had waited for a year without any news... she followed her aunt's footsteps and committed suicide in front of the ancestral grave in Shi Guangchi's hometown. This shows how loyal the Teng family's daughter is.
Only then did Fang Haotian understand why Uncle Datou had such a big reaction when he learned that Sister Jingyao liked Teacher Yue... The two generations of daughters of the Teng family have learned this lesson in blood! Fang Haotian was filled with regret because of these two things.
The matter between Sister Jingyao and Teacher Yue was brought to light, so it was unfair. After all, not everyone is as shameful as the scholar surnamed Shi.
As for Shi Guangchi, Fang Haotian vaguely felt that this person was not a person of friendship, but a last resort. After all, after the founding of New China, the separated relatives in the mainland and the treasure island could not communicate normally. Even if Shi Guangchi was a senior general, it would be impossible to contact the mainland.
wife in.
What's more important! The Tengjia village relocated collectively and followed Tanaka Yasuhito's army to Lutian Township. They have taken root here for decades, and Shi Guangchi couldn't find it even if he tried to find it!
"Grandpa Teng, you may have mistakenly blamed Shi Guangchi..." Fang Haotian felt that it was necessary to make it clear. After all, this is a thorn in the side. Who knows if Grandpa Teng still has it in his heart. Regardless of whether Teng Qingshan is the only one left in the Teng family, dozens of such
The misunderstanding of the year really needs to be clarified.
Unexpectedly... "I know, but my sister is already dead, do I still need to care about whether it is a misunderstanding?" Teng Qingshan said with a wry smile. Decades were enough for him to understand the truth, and he even guessed that Shi Guangchi would definitely go to the original site of the cottage.
Looking for it, but Teng Qingshan has no idea of contacting it.
"But... Shi Guangchi took the child to Treasure Island, and he was your nephew." Fang Haotian asked, wondering how Grandpa Teng could give up this family relationship, even when he was the only one left in the Teng family.
"The water thrown out by the married daughter... So what if I get in touch with Shi Guangchi? My sister is already dead, so let him continue to search in hope. I am the only one left in the Teng family... In a few years, everyone will
All the grievances and grudges will be dissipated..." Teng Qingshan said calmly.
Fang Haotian knew Grandpa Teng's thoughts. From the time King Tengyuan led the bandits and chased Tanaka Baoren to Lutian Township, he had no intention of returning to the original place, nor even thought of looking for Shi Guangchi.
Until King Teng Yuan died and Teng Qingshan was left alone, there was no such idea anymore. After all, it was the Teng family's daughter who contacted the Teng family and Shi Guangchi. They were both dead, so what else could the two parties have to do with each other?
"Na'mei, look for the family named Shi in Baodao immediately and see if you can find Shi Guangchi." Fang Haotian felt that he could not let Grandpa Teng die in regret. Despite what Teng Qingshan said on the surface, he wanted to see his nephew in his heart, but because of the Teng family man
They are so desperate to save face that they can’t afford to lose face.
Although Teng Qingshan doesn't know Shi Guangchi's current situation, he knows without thinking that the living environment is definitely better than his one in Lutian Township. Under such circumstances, how can Teng Qingshan, who is mostly buried in the soil, make people think that he is clinging to him?
Woolen cloth?
"After searching, there is no information about Shi Guangchi. Even among the senior generals of Baodao, there is no one named Shi." The results of Na'mei's investigation are surprising. This result is incredible, unless there is no relevant information back then.
Go online, otherwise this result would not be possible.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yue is definitely not that kind of person, and he is still managing the investment projects in Lutian Township. It is equivalent to settling here. Isn't it enough to be the door-to-door son-in-law of Lutian people?" Fang Haotian said with a smile, thinking in his heart.
He decided that if he could save Grandpa Teng's short lifespan, he would help him find his nephew.
"I know that if he can treat his dead girlfriend's parents like this, he must be kind to Jingyao and Datou. Let's go to Datou's house. This matter must be settled quickly." Teng Qingshan stood up and said with a smile, without doubting Xiaotian at all.
Whether to lie or deceive others.
From his contact with Yue Qingyang, we can get some clues. In fact, he has always had a good impression of Yue Qingyang. If it weren't for the rules set by Mr. Teng, he would have directly agreed to Fan Jingyao and Yue Qingyang's marriage.
"Okay, I'll inform Teacher Yue first..." Fang Haotian immediately called Yue Qingyang and asked them to wait outside Uncle Datou's house.
Yue Qingyang was uneasy when he received the call. Even Fan Jingyao had the same expression. This is the last chance. If the old man doesn't agree...does he really want to elope?
"Grandpa Teng, your health is still so good!" Seeing Teng Qingshan from a distance, Fan Jingyao immediately stepped forward to help him and said, her eyes full of excitement, and she thought to herself: With Grandpa Teng coming forward, can the old man still object?
"Well, I see you have been wandering outside for several years and I don't know what you have learned. Anyway, this little mouth is very sweet. If my body is really as good as you say, do you still need to help me?" Teng Qingshan said with a sullen face,
He looked very stern, but his eyes were full of love.
Fan Jingyao was a little dazed. In her memory, Grandpa Teng was very stern and unsmiling. When did he learn to joke?
"Sister Jingyao, what are you doing standing still? Go and call the door." Fang Haotian said immediately, his meaning couldn't be more obvious. Hurry up while Grandpa Teng comes to the door and pretend to be powerful!
"Uh... I'll go right away." Fan Jingyao stuck out her tongue, turned and ran to the courtyard door, slamming the door panel loudly.
"Dad, hurry up and open the door. I'm going to argue with you today. Why won't you let me marry Qingyang?" Fan Jingyao's voice inherited the fine traditions of the Lutian people, and she also inherited the big-headed woman's voice.
Because of his fiery temper, the door panel was almost blown apart.
"What are you talking about? It's not allowed. If you still want to get married, don't enter the Fan family. I don't have a woman like you..." Fan Datou opened the door, his roar stopped, and he immediately piled up.
With a smile on his face, he ran out and said, "Mr. Laobanzi, why are you here?"
"Butou, I remember your temper was not so bad. Your mother-in-law has always been in charge of your family. What's going on now? Did you become a serf and start singing?" Teng Qingshan said jokingly.
