Heiyangshu Coal Mine.
Niu Da pricked up his ears and listened to what this man said.
Maybe it opened up the conversation, and the man no longer tabooed anything.
"My name is Wang Dafu. There are many people with the surname Wang over there. The family hopes that the younger generations will become rich and powerful, so there are many people named Wang Dafu." said the man Wang Dafu.
"There were taxes everywhere in Beili's home. We couldn't survive anymore, so we ran south. My whole family was killed, and I was the only one who escaped to the south, and was tricked into coming here again."
Wang Dafu continued.
"Did you get here?"
Cow Avenue.
"Look at these people, are there any older ones?" Wang Dafu raised his head and glanced around.
"No."
Niu Da shook his head.
Although there were people with ragged clothes and dark faces all around, it could still be seen that these were young people.
"This coal mine has been open for hundreds of years. It was opened when Daqi was founded. After so many years, it stands to reason that there should be older people."
"Now you see, here are all young people. They are old and have died long ago." Wang Dafu said.
"All dead? How did they die?" Niu Da looked shocked.
"Either to death from exhaustion or from being crushed to death by the mines, the inside often collapses. Once it collapses, people can't get out. By the time people from outside dig in, the people inside will have died long ago," Wang Dafu said.
"Don't they care?" Niu Da smashed his mouth and whispered.
"What do you care? They don't care. Human life is cheap and worthless." Wang Dafu sneered.
Wanghai County, in the small courtyard of the third uncle's house.
Yang Huaming, Lao Ma, Xiaoma and Xiao Hei got on the carriage parked at the entrance of the alley in advance. Xu's mother and two sons left the alley with Qiaohong from another way.
Xiaohei saw from the car window that Qiaohong's eyes were red with tears as she left. He struggled to get out of the car to say a few words to Qiaohong, but Yang Huaming held his shoulders.
"If you dare to get out of the car, my two brothers from the Xu family will beat you later, but I won't stop you!"
Just when Yang Huaming said this, Xu Qiaohong's third brother turned to look at the carriage. His eyes were like knives. The screen of the car window seemed to penetrate Xiao Hei's chest. Xiao Hei was so frightened that he quickly retracted. Head, never mention getting off the bus again.
In the utility room of the third uncle's house, Yang Huazhong and Xu Yuanming stood facing each other.
Yang Huazhong truthfully told Xu Yuanming about the previous interrogation of Xiao Hei.
"Brother Yuan Ming, this matter is Xiao Hei's fault no matter what. This is a definite matter, and we will not shirk responsibility."
"But I still need to talk to you about the situations Xiao Hei mentioned. I would definitely scold them in front of them, but now we just close the door and talk. I mean, what do the children think? We should also hear what it is like. What do you think?"
Xu Yuanming knew what Yang Huazhong meant.
"Brother Yang, to be honest, I interrogated my daughter before, and what she said was similar to Xiao Hei. These two children don't seem to be impulsive, but they are serious. This is really embarrassing for me!"
There are some things that Xu Yuanming is not comfortable saying to Yang Huazhong now. For example, the daughter mentioned earlier that her son-in-law was engaged in eating, drinking, prostitution, and gambling. The leg was not broken while performing official duties at all. It was injured in a fight in a brothel while fighting for a girl. After the injury, he got sick again after returning.
The disease made the son-in-law inhumane, so the son-in-law's temperament changed drastically, and he beat and scolded his daughter. The young couple had not been married for a year, but they had been sleeping in separate beds for two or three months.
It's fine if the son-in-law doesn't care for his daughter, but his parents-in-law and several eldest aunts are also not considerate. They saw that the daughter had not been pregnant for almost a year, and they made all kinds of sarcastic remarks.
Xu Yuanming knew that his family was just an ordinary family, but at least they had enough food and clothing, and they were prosperous.
Qiaohong was not a lady, but he and his wife had taken care of her and raised her up. Her three brothers had to let her be their younger sister.
How could a daughter with such a high spirit endure the harsh treatment from her husband's family? So by accident, she fell in love with Xiao Hei.
No matter how much her wife beat and scolded her before, forcing her to swear to cut off contact with Xiao Hei and sending her back to her husband's house, her daughter would not go.
With no choice, he had to let his wife and two sons take his daughter back to her parents' home in Qingshui Town.
"Brother Yang, it seems that this matter is not that simple. We can't explain it clearly in just a few words here." Xu Yuanming thought about it and said something to Yang Huazhong.
"How about this? During the Chinese New Year this year, let's take the children back and let them cool down first. After the seventh day of the new year, our two families will find an opportunity to sit down and discuss the situation to see what's going on."
If only one of the two children cools off and regrets it during this period, then this matter will naturally become a minor matter.
If the two children are still so persistent, Xu Yuanming is not a rigid and stubborn person. His daughter's lifelong happiness is more important than anything else.
Yang Huazhong naturally nodded in agreement to Xu Yuanming's proposal.
After Xu Yuanming left, Yang Huazhong said a few words to Xu Mang, then took something to Xu Mang and left the yard of his third uncle's house first.
Xu Mang returned to the roof. At this time, the third uncle had finished three pots of tea.
He asked Xu Mang: "There was such a big fuss before, and it just ended like this? I'm still waiting for the follow-up results!"
Xu Mang smiled faintly: "There are some things that cannot be done in a hurry, and the results cannot be achieved without the heat."
The third uncle shrugged, "Yeah, I felt lonely after watching it."
Xu Mang threw a piece of silver in his hand into Third Uncle's hand, "My Third Uncle asked me to honor you, Third Uncle, saying that I am bothering you. Thank you very much for protecting Xiao Hei these days." "
There are a lot of crooked people living in this alley. Xiao Hei can live here safely because he was lucky enough to rent a house from his third uncle's house.
And the third uncle, because Xiao Hei's appearance was somewhat similar to his son who died young, so he showed some kindness, and the sky covered Xiao Hei during those days when Xiao Hei lived here.
That's why the gangsters in this alley didn't come to cause trouble for Xiao Hei. Of course, everyone knows these things, but Xiao Hei himself doesn't.
The third uncle didn't refuse, he generously accepted the one tael of silver, and said to Xu Mang: "That black guy is not very good, but his third uncle is a real person, and he is also open-minded and good."
Xu Mang smiled, "Uncle Yang is a good man. The only number one scholar in Wanghai County is his son, the general protecting the country is his son-in-law, and the famous businesswoman Yang Ruoqing in Daqi is his daughter."
The third uncle, who had never been surprised by anything he saw, was stunned on the spot!
…
On the way back, the pony drove the carriage almost into the air.
Xiao Hei lay on the car window and vomited all the way, causing his intestines and lungs to move out of position.
"Slow down, slow down, I can't hold it anymore, I'm going to faint." Xiao Hei's muscles ached all over, his stomach was churning, and every bump of the carriage was killing him.
