Chapter 22 Waiting in Repression
There were cheerful footsteps under the night, and eight old and weak women and children were looking forward to it at the entrance of the village.It is better to say that the entrance of the village is a small path among twenty acres of fertile fields. Tang Daniu and Tang Jiabao are chasing and playing with each other.

Today is a big day for selling fish, and I don't know if the unscrupulous merchants will cheat the fish they have worked so hard to catch. It is worrying to think about it.

Tang Xingfan and Tang Xilai, together with their wives and daughter-in-law, looked at the dark front full of thoughts.

"Daniu, do you think the village head uncle can sell the fish for a good price?" Tang Jiabao stopped and said to Tang Daniu.

Tang Daniu scratched his head: "I don't know, but I heard that the fish merchants in the county are very black-hearted, and I don't think they can sell at a good price this time."

"Not necessarily, I think the village head uncle seems very confident," Tang Jiabao said to Tang Daniu.

The two little heads came together, and Tang Daniu blinked his eyes: "But you also heard from my aunt and others that our fish is not easy to sell, and there are no merchants in the village who can set up a stall. If we force a stall , those government officials will confiscate things.”

"That is to say, if the village head uncle can't sell the fish for a good price, we have no money to pay protection fees to the water thieves. After three days, the water thieves will come and kill us," Tang Jiabao said with a look of fear.

Tang Daniu nodded heavily: "I heard that anyone who doesn't pay the protection fee will be killed."

"Daniu, how does it feel to be killed?" Tang Jiabao said to Tang Daniu, his tone full of doubts.

Tang Daniu spared his head in distress: "I heard it's scary."

"How scary is it?" Tang Jiabao asked Tang Daniu with wide eyes.

Tang Daniu imitated the advanced movements he didn't know where he learned, and looked up at the sky: "Listen to my grandpa, it's as scary as sleeping"

"Sleep? But sleep isn't scary at all," Tang Jiabao said to Tang Daniu.

Tang Daniu scratched his head in distress again: "You are right, I also feel that sleeping is not terrible"

"But why do grandparents say it's scary?" Tang Daniu said to Tang Jiabao, his tone full of confusion.

Immediately afterwards, he sighed heavily: "Hey, the world of adults is so complicated."

"Hey, my lord's world is really complicated." Tang Jiabao also echoed Tang Daniu, his little face was full of sadness.

"boom"

A hand appeared out of nowhere, and patted the two small heads.

"Ouch!" Tang Daniu quickly covered his head.

Tang Jiabao also dodged subconsciously, but was still hit, and let out an exclamation: "Ouch!"

"Auntie, mother, why did you beat us?" Tang Jiabao and Tang Daniu stared at Han Yiqi with small eyes and said loudly in unison.

Han Yiqi looked at her son and Tang Daniu, and reprimanded them angrily: "Sighing at the young age, do you think I should hit you?"

"It's time to fight," Peng Chunlan agreed to Han Yiqi.

Tang Xingfan, Tang Xilai, Wang Kefei and Guifeng all looked over.

Tang Daniu looked at Peng Chunlan with an aggrieved face: "Mother"

"Okay, okay, children are ignorant, so don't criticize them too much." Seeing Tang Daniu and Tang Jiabao's pitiful appearance, Guifeng softened her heart and pleaded with them.

Hearing grandma's voice, Tang Daniu's eyes lit up, and he called out to Guifeng: "Grandma"

"Granny Gui" Tang Jiabao also called out.

Peng Chunlan complained to Guifeng: "Mother, the children are still young and you can't spoil them. Those bad habits need to be changed."

"Chunlan is right, children cannot be used to it," Han Yiqi also echoed to Peng Chunlan.

Wang Kefei frowned: "What do you mean you can't get used to it?"

"Okay, okay, don't say a few words," Tang Xingfan quickly smoothed things over, and said to the four women.

As long as the child is involved, it must be a storm and a headache.

Tang Xilai also took the opportunity to speak out, with a slightly irritated tone: "It's already this time, what's the point of you all arguing?"

"As mothers, it's their duty to teach their children, so please stop saying a few words," Tang Xingfan hastily added.

Wang Kefei raised her eyebrows, and the anger in her heart instantly surged: "What do you mean this is their duty? As an elder, as a grandma, can't you say a few more words about this matter?"

"That's right, I think we should talk more about this matter," Guifeng also took the opportunity to echo.

Tang Xingfan's head suddenly became dizzy, unexpectedly, not only did the fire not be extinguished, but it intensified it.

He turned to Tang Xilai with a begging look, expecting him to come to rescue him.

Tang Xilai frowned and looked around the crowd: "Look at the day, what time is it now? Not only are you worried about your son, but you are not worried about your husband, what are you arguing about here?"

"I want to force you to go back to the house and fight, don't let us look upset here." Tang Xilai said with a dignified face, and his tone gradually became severe.

Hearing this sentence, the four women kept silent at the same time, and there was a hint of worry in their eyes.

Tang Jiabao and Tang Daniu looked at the elders in fear, and were so frightened that they didn't dare to show their breath.

The poor two little fellows suffered from an indiscriminate disaster.

Rather than saying that this is a dispute over children's education, it is better to say that it is a way to vent their worries.Otherwise, an ordinary matter would not have reached this point.

Looking at the two little guys, Tang Xilai's tone gradually softened, after all, the children are innocent: "Go back to the house, we are waiting here"

"Grandpa, Jiabao and I can wait for father and the others here together?" Tang Daniu said to Tang Xi feeling the oppressive atmosphere.

Tang Xilai thought for a while, with some hesitation in his eyes.After all, no one knows if the four women will be arguing.Let the already irritable heart become more annoyed.

"We promise, we will wait obediently together and not cause trouble for you," Tang Daniu said vowedly.

Tang Jiabao also assured Tang Xilai: "Yes, we promise, we will be obedient and not make trouble."

"Let them wait together," Tang Xingfan said to Tang Xi.

Tang Xilai nodded, didn't say much, and turned his gaze to the night ahead.Suddenly, I felt my heart became heavy.

"Thank you, grandpa" Tang Jiabao and Tang Daniu were overjoyed and said to Tang Xingfan and Tang Xi.

A gust of wind came out, and everyone felt chilly.It was as if the heart at this moment was chilling to the bone.

Counting the time, at this time, they should have come back. Could it be because of something they encountered on the way?You must know that there are so many bandits along the way, once you encounter them, the consequences will be disastrous.

Thinking of this, everyone can only pray silently, hoping that they will not meet the water thief and come back safely.As for the heavy taxes paid, we can only resign ourselves to fate.
