Chapter 22 The clan will report the truth

The group came to old Tian's house. Tian Shoucun came out and saw the village chief first.

"Village chief?" He walked out slowly, "Why are you here?"

"You didn't come when you were supposed to, but now that the problem is solved, you're here..."

From what Tian Youyou heard, he seemed to be talking about the Du family yesterday.

But she didn't know the specific details.

The village chief looked a little embarrassed and said directly, "Tian Shounian wants to separate from you. I am here as the village chief to be a witness."

"Divide the family?!" Tian Shoucun shouted like thunder and called everyone else in the Tian family over.

"How dare you separate from us?" Tian Shoucun walked around the village chief and Tian Shao, came to Tian Shounian, pointed his finger at his nose, "You made us sign an IOU of 20 taels to the Du family, and we were almost beaten by their people. How dare you separate from us now?"

"I'm telling you, it's impossible!" Tian Shoucun snorted coldly, pointing his finger at Tian Shounian again and again, "Don't ever think about splitting up the family. From now on, you and your family will be slaves for our Tian family."

"And you, you dead girl." Tian Shoucun's rat eyes looked at Tian Youyou again, with a look that seemed to be able to eat people.

"You'd better be engaged to the Xiao family. Otherwise, if I can't sell you this time, I will definitely sell you next time!"

"Isn't my sister-in-law pregnant again? It would be best if she had a girl. In two years, I will sell her to you sisters together!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Shounian could no longer bear it, so he took a step forward, pushed away his arm with one hand, and slapped Tian Shoucun in the face with the other hand.

Tian Shoucun was beaten back two steps by him, and finally his eyes widened in disbelief.

Tian Shounian shouted, "Tian Shoucun, I am your elder brother, she is your elder sister-in-law, and Youyou is your niece."

"How dare you say such cruel words? Are you still human?"

Tian Shoucun spat on the ground, and there was blood in his spit. Tian Shounian's slap was quite hard.

"Tian Shounian, who are you teaching a lesson to? Who are you the elder brother to? Who recognizes you as the elder brother?"

"Your family are all servants of our Tian family, so you have to serve us."

In the past, the old Tian family asked Tian Shounian and Jiang Xiuxiu to do things and they would find some reasonable reasons.

This time, Tian Shoucun directly spoke out what was in their hearts.

Tian Shounian was so angry that he couldn't stop gasping, "You, fart."

Tian Shoucun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and rolled up his sleeves, "If you dare to hit me, I'll let you know today..."

Tian Han stood aside, watching coldly without saying anything.

Tian Shao couldn't bear to watch it anymore, "What are you doing?"

"The village chief is here, and I am here too, replacing my father. What are you doing in front of the village chief and the elders?"

Tian Shoucun was forced to slowly lower his arm, which he had just raised.

"Uncle Shao, why didn't you say anything when he hit me just now?"

Tian Shoucun pouted and walked back, "Even if you are here on behalf of the elders, we will never divide this family if we say so."

"The elders can't force us to separate, right?"

Tian Wangshi also came out, "That's right, we won't split up the family."

They did not agree to split up, and the elders could do nothing about it.

Tian Han looked at Tian Shao and said, "Brother Tian Shao, since this is the case, we can't force it. Let's just forget it."

Tian Shao looked at Tian Shounian's family.

The whole family is skinny, with sallow faces, and it's obvious that they don't eat or sleep well on a daily basis.

Thinking of what my father had just told me...

Tian Shao looked at Tian Wangshi and said, "If you don't want to, I really shouldn't force you."

"But there is one thing I must say first."

"In the past few decades, there has never been a case of selling children, daughters or granddaughters in our Xiaohegou Village. Our ancestors also left us a legacy that such things should not be done."

"But you! Not only did you do it, Tian Shoucun also said that if he couldn't sell it the first time, he would sell it a second time, and he would also sell the baby in Nian Ge's daughter-in-law's belly."

"As far as I know, Tian Xingxue will take the exam for the scholar degree in the next two years. By then, the clan will report the fact that your family secretly sold the child of the eldest brother."

Tian Xingxue is now the only educated person in the Tian family.

It can be said that everyone in the old Tian family has high hopes for Tian Xingxue, hoping that he can pass the imperial examination and become a scholar so that their family can continue to enjoy the convenience brought by being a scholar.

Scholars, apart from ordinary people, even officials had to treat them with courtesy.

In addition, scholars could enjoy subsidies in silver and grain from the imperial court and were exempt from corvée labor.

Many families hope that there will be a scholar among their descendants, so that farming and studying can be passed down from generation to generation. Although they are not as prominent as the officials' families, they are still better than ordinary people's families.

Farming families like the Lao Tian family, if they produce a scholar, can not only enjoy the above subsidies, but also be allocated school land and 100 to 200 kilograms of grain every year.

Tian Yi enjoyed these all the time when he was alive.

But this year Tian Yi died, and all the subsidies and conveniences were cut off.

The old Tian family is counting on Tian Xingxue to pass the exam so that they can continue to receive all the subsidies and benefits.

All those who take the examination for the title of scholar must undergo a background check, which requires the village and clan to testify for him, proving that there is no problem with the moral character of this person and his family members.

What Tian Shao said meant that when Tian Xingxue took the examination for the scholar, the clan would report the matter of Tian Shoucun selling his eldest brother's child.

As a result, Tian Xingxue basically had no chance of taking the imperial examination.

"Hey, this won't do." Tian Wangshi hurriedly chased after him, "Brother, didn't this also fail to sell?"

"That's right." Tian Han also tried to smooth things over, "Brother Tian Shao, if Tian Xingxue can pass the exam and become a scholar, it will also be good for our village."

If something happens in the village, especially if a villager accidentally commits a crime and is arrested by the government, as a scholar, you can go to the government to act as a guarantor to turn a big thing into a small one or a small thing into nothing.

"People with bad morals will eventually cause trouble even if they pass the exam. When that happens... their entire clan will be implicated and the whole village will suffer."

Outside the house, most of the villagers watching the fun were surnamed Tian, ​​and many were within the Nine Clans.

"How can that be possible?"

"The court is here to verify. Whatever the case is, it is what it is. Of course, we must tell the truth."

"That's right. If you commit a crime in the future, your entire clan will be implicated, and no one can escape."

"If you don't share the blessing, you will have to bear the misfortune together."

"Their family's behavior could really lead to serious consequences."

"Brother, no way. Our family values ​​education very much, and you grew up watching him. How could he do such a thing?" Mrs. Tian Wang was anxious.

Tian Shoucun and the others also became anxious, "That's right, Xingxue is a good kid."

"Really?" Tian Shao looked at Tian Xingxue who was standing at the door. The kid looked really good and had a talent for studying.

"His father wanted to sell his cousin, but he didn't try to persuade him and just stood by and watched. How can his behavior now be considered good?"

It’s a pity that having a talent for studying doesn’t mean one has good morals.

So is Tian Yi and so is Tian Xingxue.
