So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place
Chapter 69: The Rage of the Freeloader
Seeing that the hard work of most of his life was scattered all over the floor, Qiu Zhu could not hold back his tears. He did not care about the pain of being pushed to the ground by Tang Shuyi, and hurried to pick up the manuscript.
Tang Shuyi became even angrier when he saw his father-in-law's pedantic look, "Still picking up! Still picking up! What are you picking up these things for!" He cursed and was about to continue attacking Qiu Zhe.
Qiu Zhuo also felt that what Zhou Yao said was right. It was Tang Shuyi who was too eager for quick success. Not only was he fawning in social interactions, but he was also unwilling to study hard in official duties, so naturally he could not achieve results. So he said unhappily, "Son-in-law is too ambitious. He always wants to find connections to get ahead overnight. Mr. Zhou himself also made achievements step by step in Jiangzhou, and was rewarded after escaping death. Son-in-law should think carefully and make a career down-to-earth."
Qiu's words were like adding fuel to the fire. Tang Shuyi, who was drunk, cursed angrily: "Did Zhou Yao say this? How dare he say that to me? He is so righteous and self-righteous that he doesn't want to interact with a vulgar person like me. But what about him!
He has a father-in-law who is a member of the Imperial College! He has two good uncles and good in-laws who are sent to serve as officials! He has a good father who is a Tongzhi! Now his mother's family Ji Shu has returned to Beijing to serve as the Dali Temple! He has a good personal relationship with Li Jing, the Zhao family father and son think highly of him, and even the son of the Dingguo Mansion is willing to socialize with him!
Now everyone in the Imperial Academy looks up to him! Anyone can step on me! He has everything! Now you accuse me of being greedy?! You say I am too ambitious? What am I greedy for? I just don’t have a good father or a good father-in-law!
If I had a good father and a good father-in-law, would it be his turn to act so pretentiously in a high position? He looks only fit to carry my shoes! No! He is not even fit to carry my shoes. "
He spat fiercely and couldn't help but kick Qiu Zhe who was squatting on the ground picking up a book.
"Do you think I'm asking you to go find him to get him to come forward? Use your pig brain! I'm asking you to ask him to find the Zhao family behind him. Zhao Lingji is the Minister of Personnel, and Zhao Congjian is in the Censorate. They hold your son-in-law's life in their hands!"
He grabbed Qiu Zhuo by the collar and lifted him up, "Do you think I don't know that you're in contact with him? When you came back from his feast that day, everyone could see how happy you were. Do you think I'm blind?
If it weren't for Xiao Zheng and Zhou Yao being so serious and willing to pay attention to an old man like you, do you think I would be nice to you? Now it seems that your friendship is very shallow! You are still willing to show these rubbish you treasured to others like treasures, and I don't know how others will laugh at you behind your back. "
Qiu Shunci was coaxing her daughter to sleep in the inner room when she heard her husband and father arguing outside. She quickly got dressed and came out to check. The several people from the Tang family who were sleeping in the room were as silent as death, and turned a deaf ear to the noise outside.
Tang Shuyi became angrier and angrier as he cursed. He picked up the boiling hot teapot from the stove and poured it on his father-in-law who was picking up manuscripts in the yard.
When Qiu Shunci came out, she saw Tang Shuyi about to pour boiling water on her father. She rushed over and pushed her father away, but the father and daughter were still splashed with the scalding tea, and the manuscripts on the floor were also wet by the boiling water.
Qiu Shunci hurried to see if his father was burned, and Qiu Zhu also checked his daughter's injuries with great concern.
Tang Shuyi was cursing excitedly, "It's just right that you're here. A useless father gave birth to a useless daughter! I've been married for so many years, and I only have a little girl as a treasure, but I didn't even give birth to a boy! If I count on you and that little girl, I'll end up like your useless father when I'm old! Just wait for no descendants. When I'm old and have no son, I can only depend on my son-in-law!"
Qiu Shunci's eyes immediately turned red when he was scolded by him, and she bit her lip and resisted the urge to speak.
"Who are you staring at with your dog eyes? How dare you be unconvinced! If you have the ability, let your father become a high-ranking official, then you can find a good husband like Zhou Yao like your best friend. Your father is useless, and it is your blessing to find someone like me!
I tell you, if her father is useless, your girl will only be able to find a son-in-law like me in the future.
Who do you think I am working so hard for? It's all for a better life at home! I'm trying to curry favor with everyone, from the old to the young. Do you think I'm willing to do that?
I tried to curry favor with Ye Shaojun, but the old man introduced you to me as a relative to me. I tried to curry favor with Li Jing, Wan Zhenjiang, Zuo Qiuzhi, Jin Feng, Zhong Bin, and now Zhou Yao. I had to show my favor to everyone, like a running lapdog! But they enjoyed my flattery, and then they laughed at me!
Especially that Zhong Bin! He just has a sister who is a virtuous concubine, but now she is a virtuous concubine. She has a nephew-in-law, General Dingyuan of the Shou family, and she acts like a royal relative. He is just a scumbag who got to the top by relying on women. Why is he so arrogant? Pah! "
Over the years, although Tang Shuyi was not well-educated, Qiu was concerned about moral principles and laws. He thought that Qiu Shunci was his only daughter, and that he would have to entrust her to his son-in-law's family to take care of her after he passed away, so he always tolerated her. With a matchmaker like Ye Shaojun, he could not refuse his face and could only swallow his anger.
Qiu Shunci was concerned about the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, and felt that she had not added any children to the Tang family, and that her father could not help her husband's career, so she always seemed to be in the wrong.
The bullied father and daughter just kept enduring it, allowing the Tang family to bully them even more.
But no matter what happened before, Tang Shuyi had never resorted to violence. Now he actually beat people and hurt his daughter. As an old father, Qiu Zhuo didn't want to endure it any longer. Now that he is still alive and has an official position, this son-in-law who lives off his wife dares to beat them up. If he passes away, how can such a husband's family protect their daughter?
Qiu looked at his daughter's burned hand and helped her stand up. The old man who had never spoken loudly to anyone in his life said coldly to the crazy people in the yard, "Since Lord Tang has endured for so many years, our Qiu family is too small to accommodate a big Buddha like you. I will draft a divorce letter today. If you don't, I will go to Fengtian Prefecture to beat a drum to break off all ties with your family. The mountains are high and the waters are long, so let's part ways. Lord Tang, go and pursue your future well."
Hearing Qiu Zhe's words, Tang Shuyi was even more furious. He didn't expect that this old man who had endured humiliation for most of his life suddenly had a personality. "Divorce! Bullshit about divorce! I'm being investigated in Beijing now. You just want to ruin my reputation and prevent me from getting promoted for the rest of my life, right?"
He looked at the orphan girl and widower father of the Qiu family, and suddenly he became angry and said, "You want to sue me? Great! I will break your legs today, and see where you can beat the drum!"
He pulled away Qiu Shunci who was protecting his father, and started punching and kicking Qiu Zhe. Qiu Zhe was old and weak, so he was no match for him and could only be beaten by him.
Qiu Shunci cried and rushed forward again and again to save his father. The Tang family members who seemed dead before seemed to be activated and came out to help Tang Shuyi.
Tang's mother and two sisters-in-law stuffed a cloth into Qiu Shunci's mouth, tied her up and locked her in the backyard. Tang's two brothers helped Tang Shuyi drag Qiu Zhuo, who was beaten to death, into the woodshed.
For a moment, only the cold moonlight was left shining on the broken, pale manuscripts scattered all over the ground.
