Chapter 49 49. Protection
Su Yao looked at the woman who spoke, and her eyes fell on Qiao Yantang beside her.

With his head down and motionless, he looked very special among the crowd watching.

Qu Qianli pointed at Qiao Yantang: "He went out twice last night."

"you sure?"

The patriarch's questioning opened up Qu Qianli's chatterbox: "Yes, yesterday was a bit late for dinner, and he threw down the bowls and chopsticks after eating in a hurry. I thought she didn't plan to wash the dishes, so I scolded her twice." If it was normal, I would definitely come back to do things obediently. As a result, I didn’t come back no matter how much I called last night, as if I was thinking about something outside. From the looks of it now, I was just in a hurry to go out and find trouble, for fear of missing the opportunity.”

"Later, after a while, he came back. At that time, our family was already asleep. He was in a daze, and he was washing dishes in the yard by himself. Later, when I heard the noise in the yard stopped, I thought He fell asleep, but he didn't expect to wake up in the middle of the night after a while and just saw him come back. I asked him where he went for a long time, but he didn't say a word. "

The patriarch only said that Xia Yulu and Wang Hongying were beaten last night, but he didn't say that the two people were beaten at different times.

What Qu Qianli said just happened to coincide with this matter.

The patriarch asked Qiao Yantang: "Yantang, what do you want to say?"

Qiao Yantang looked up, but his eyes were unusually indifferent: "I did it, they deserve it."

"why?"

Since Qiao Yantangniang's death, Qiao Yantang had almost no contact with the villagers, and Xia Yulu and Wang Hongying were even less likely to have any contact with him. Everyone couldn't figure out why Qiao Yantang did this.

"It doesn't look good on them," Qiao Yantang casually made an excuse, but no one believed him.

The patriarch didn't believe it either, but it could be seen that Qiao Yantang was not someone who could tell the truth easily.

"Okay, the person has been found, Qiao Yantang stays, and the others leave first."

This time, the patriarch's words didn't work so well.

"There's no explanation yet, why did you let us go?"

"That's right, this time he didn't like Xia Zhiqing and Wang Hongying, so he beat them. Next time, he didn't like us, so why not beat us?"

"I've seen it for a long time, this kid is not a good person."

"Ah! Who told mother to leave early, no one in the family taught her well, and ruined a good child."

When Qu Qianli heard this, her complexion was wrong, her eyes squeezed, and tears fell: "Oh! Tell me, how can you do such a thing. Listen to what people around here are saying. We didn't teach it well. .”

"It's said that a stepmother is hard to do. I don't lack for him to eat, and I don't want him to drink. When it's cold, I add clothes, and when it's hot, I don't necessarily do it for the sake of my own mother. I don't live up to it, and even bring me They have all been said. There is really no way to live this day, I think we should leave early."

Qu Qianli was aggrieved, but no one in the crowd sympathized with him.

In the end, the patriarch couldn't take it anymore. He glared and put pressure on Qiao Mingzhong: "Take your daughter-in-law back. You're making such a fuss. This village can't accommodate you anymore. Where should you go?"

Afterwards, he glanced around and appeased everyone: "This child just lost his mind for a while, and similar things will not happen in the future. Let's all go back to our respective homes."

There were still people in the crowd who wanted to watch the fun, but looking at the face of the patriarch, they were still pulled away by the people around him.

The patriarch watched the people slowly disperse before calling Qiao Yantang into the house.

As former suspects, Su Yao and Yan Shoucheng were also left waiting at the door.

After Qiao Yantang went in, Su Yao intuitively felt that this matter had something to do with him.I want to have a few words with Yan Shoucheng, but there are Xia Yulu and Wang Hongying standing beside me, so I can only keep my words in my heart.

Not long after, Su Yao was called in, Yan Fusheng and the patriarch sat in the main seat, Qiao Yantang's eyes were red, his body was full of anger, and his hands were still bursting with veins.

"Su Yao, Qiao Yantang said that the beating was because others bullied you. Did you say anything to him before? Did you use Yan Tang to eliminate dissidents?"

Before Su Yao could speak, Qiao Yantang went back angrily: "I told you, it has nothing to do with her, it's all my thoughts."

Yan Fusheng patted the table: "Qiao Yantang, do you know how serious what you did, we are helping you now."

Su Yao chuckled: "The way to help him is to drag me into the water? You guys really know how to turn your elbows in."

Yan Fusheng raised his voice again: "This matter was originally caused because of you. Do you still have a conscience for instigating such a simple child?"

Su Yao gritted her teeth: "First, I never provoked you. Today, oh no, everything that happened last night was beyond my expectation."

"Second, this incident was not caused by me. If Wang Hongying and Xia Yulu didn't bully me because of their selfish desires, there would be no subsequent incidents. You are looking for the culprit in this incident, and they are the two .”

"Third, do you think that the reason you are helping Qiao Yantang now is for him? When he was being bullied at home and being used as a servant by the family, why didn't you come forward?"

Qiao Yantang was touched by these words, and stiffened her neck to express her dissatisfaction: "Since my mother died, no one has cared about me. Teacher Su is the first one. She, like my mother, will worry about me. Is it too tiring, is it too hard?"

"Anyone who wants to bully her is bullying me. I was young before and couldn't protect my mother, but in the future, I can protect Teacher Su."

Yan Fu panted heavily angrily: "Look, look, this is an ecstasy drug."

The face of the patriarch was better, and he turned his head and handed over the matter of persuading Qiao Yantang to Su Yao: "Su Yao, you have heard what's going on, Yan Tang can listen to your words now, you can persuade him well. he."

Su Yao herself didn't expect that Qiao Yantang put herself in such a high position just because of her few words of concern, and also because of her own mistakes.

Fortunately, this matter was left to the village to settle on its own, and Qiao Yantang didn't have any major troubles, otherwise he would feel bad about it.

With guilt, Su Yao comforted Qiao Yantang: "Student Qiao Yantang, not everything in this world is satisfactory, and not all unsatisfactory things have to be resolved by violence. Just like you this time, the purpose is to protect I had a good intention, but because of incorrect means, I became the party at fault."

"You wish me well, but I also hope that you can protect yourself, so in the future, don't make irreversible mistakes on impulse. You still have to leave the village and go to the big world in the city to see it !"

"Trust me, I will have my own solution to my affairs."
