Taoyuan Farmhouse Daily

Chapter 90 Gambling

Chang Xile and Chang Yu's hearts were broken at this time, and they wanted to ignore it, but Chang Xiwang screamed louder and louder, and even the strongest desire was gone.

The two of them got dressed and came out of the house. Chang Xiwang had grown impatient for a long time, and rushed to greet them.

"You can figure it out, why did you go to bed so early, I am so happy to enter the new house today, I feel like I can't sleep all night! Master Tiger, what's wrong with you, why do you look so ugly?"

Chang Xiwang chattered a lot, his attitude was completely different from that of the one who was in a hurry just now, and he was free to take care of other things.

Chang Xile quickly interrupted him, "Third brother, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry."

Only then did Chang Xiwang come back to his senses, and clapped his hands fiercely, "Something has happened! Didn't Dali patrol the pier today, and caught a group of gambling players in the blacksmith's shop!"

Chang Xile frowned when she heard that, "Are there people from our Taoyuan Village?"

The blacksmith shop was not opened by people from Taoyuan Village, but by people from outside.

"Except for the father and son in the blacksmith shop, the others are all from our Taoyuan Village. They have been suppressed in the ancestral hall and are waiting to be punished. No, Lizheng ordered someone to come and find you, and wants you to go there and deal with them together." .”

Without delay, Chang Xile walked straight to the ancestral hall in the village.

Gambling is expressly prohibited in Taoyuan Village, and Chang Xile also attaches great importance to this issue.

Taoyuan Village has developed too fast in recent years, and most of the villagers have gone straight from a state where food and clothing are difficult to solve to a well-off or even affluent level.While gratifying, it is also easy to nourish some bad habits.

Gambling is a cancer among them. If it is not stopped once it develops, the whole village will be ruined.At that time, it will be very difficult to return to the simple and simple appearance of the past.The construction of spiritual civilization is often much more difficult than the construction of material civilization. The former depends on the accumulation of time, not a short-term effort, and it is difficult to recover once it collapses.

So Chang Xile attaches great importance to this, and is very firm towards all behaviors that disrupt harmony.

But I didn't expect that there are still people who knowingly commit crimes against the wind. This is the first time they have discovered it, and they must be severely punished to make others aware of it.

Chang Xile and Chang Yu rushed to the ancestral hall, Li Zheng and the elders of the clan had already arrived, and there were four people kneeling on the ground.All of them drooped their heads, looking very decadent.

When everyone saw Chang Xile coming, they all stood up and saluted him.

Chang Xile nodded and asked, "What's going on?"

Li Zheng said angrily: "I've recruited, I started to gamble a long time ago, it's not just once or twice."

A person kneeling on the ground cried out quickly: "Master Wen, we don't dare anymore, we just played a few games, and we didn't gamble much."

A few others also echoed: "Yes, yes, we just stay there and it's fine, so we just want to play a few games."

Li Zheng angrily scolded: "How many games do you need to ask for money to gamble?! You guys are being honest now, you just came here and dared to frame Wang Dali to deliberately make things difficult for you! How many times have we said before that you can't get involved in gambling! Where are your ears growing? Do you think that you can live a good life for a few days, so you feel so arrogant? If you think your life is too good, you can all farm for me!"

With the rapid development of the wharf, the number of shops and personnel at the wharf has skyrocketed. For safety and convenience of management, everyone’s plan to stay in the Shen’s Inn had to be cancelled.In addition, more and more ships are docked, and many shops will also open at night, so some people will stay in the shops to rest.

In order to ensure safety, the security team will also patrol back and forth at night.

During the daytime, when Chang Yu was patrolling the team in the village, he would lead the team here.This is to let outsiders see their strength and make them dare not provoke them easily.

In the past two years, it was not that Xiao Xiao was coveted, but when he saw the armed forces in Taoyuan Village, they all retreated silently.Those who didn't have long eyes were beaten to the ground, and they didn't even need a large army to show up. The security team at the pier alone was enough to deal with it.

Now almost no one dared to make a pier idea, so Chang Xile felt relieved to let some people stay in the shop without being so cautious.But I didn't expect that it would give some people the opportunity to start gambling in private, and it was still an outsider's shop.Because they are not their own people, the patrol team will generally not be as casual as entering their own home. In order to ensure the interests of outsiders and not let them panic, although they will pay attention to them, they will test the other party's privacy too much.

Chang Xile could clearly see that these four people were not convinced, but because they were oppressed, they had to admit it, so as not to be punished.

These are all good days, and some people start thinking about seeking excitement when they have free time.Chang Xile has seen too many similar situations in her previous life. It is a good thing for a place to develop rapidly, but in the end, the good things often turn into bad things. It is because wealth makes everyone too leisurely and breeds corruption.

The four people present were all from relatively well-off families. They were still collecting rent at the pier, and they hired people from other villages to do the work at home, so they lived well without having to work by themselves.

Chang Xile has paid great attention to these people for a long time, and it is often the kind of people who do not work on their own that are most likely to start having problems.Looking at it now, it really is.

This is why he insisted that the children of the Chang family should help the family no matter what the situation is. If they live in an environment that is too comfortable, let them know that they can live well without doing anything. Not necessarily luck.

"Master Wen, Li Zheng, clan elders, we knew we were wrong, and we were also fascinated by ghosts for a while. At first, the two brothers only said that they were having some fun at night. At first, we really didn't gamble, but whoever lost would be punished." Then I thought it was meaningless, so I started talking about punishing whoever loses more and inviting everyone to eat, and then it gradually turned into money..."

"Did the two brothers from the blacksmith shop lead you to gamble?" A clan elder asked.

"That's right, it's all them."

Li Zheng grumbled, "Don't make yourself so aggrieved, if it wasn't for you being impatient, who would coax you! How many times have the village said that this cannot be done, but you just don't listen. If you want to gamble, if you are caught, you still refuse to admit it, and you want to make false accusations."

The four of them fell silent for a moment.

Li Zheng ignored them, but looked at Chang Xile, "What do you think about this?"

Chang Xile usually seldom intervenes in the affairs of the village, but because he is a Juren, he will be called over when encountering major issues, which is a respect for him.Although he came back, most of the time he followed the opinions of Li Zheng and the clan elders.

"Just follow the rules in the village."

Li Zheng nodded, "According to the village rules, everyone can be whipped ten times, if there is another time, they will be thrown out of the village!"

As soon as the words fell, the four of them burst into tears.

Gambling is strictly controlled in the village. The ancestors of Taoyuan Village have long been aware of the evils of gambling, so the punishment is very strict.It sounds like ten lashes is nothing, but this whip has been specially treated, every lash can cause skin torn, and ten lashes will kill more than half of the life.If the resistance is poor, it is not impossible to die from infection.

The most important thing is that the caning is carried out in the most conspicuous place in the village, and stripping naked is a great insult.Not only is the body tortured, but it is also a very embarrassing thing, and I will not be able to raise my head in the future.

Now, some of the four family members who were originally gathered outside the ancestral hall couldn't bear it any longer. A woman rushed in and cried, "Li Zheng, you can't be so cruel, so what if my son gambled? The money belongs to our family, and our own family didn’t say anything about you, how can you punish him for this! My son has never suffered since he was a child, you can’t punish him!”

"Mother, I don't want to be whipped! Mother, help me!" Seeing this, one of them cried even harder.

"Son, my miserable son, you are provoking someone. Mother knows that you must have been deliberately harmed, but some people can't see that we live a good life!"

Li Zheng looked at the other people outside the ancestral hall with a livid face, "You think so too?"

Although the other three family members felt sorry for their children and had some opinions in their hearts, they all shook their heads when they heard this.

In Taoyuan Village, everyone still fears and respects the elders of the Lizhenghe clan, and dare not challenge their authority easily, and Chang Xile and Chang Yu are both there.

Lizheng's expression softened a little. Over the years, because life in Taoyuan Village has become better, many people have started life with outsiders and have more knowledge than before, and some people have begun to disobey discipline.When I feel that I am a character, I start to feel a little bit smug, and I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth.

Fortunately, there are not many such people, otherwise the village will be difficult to manage in the future.

Before Chang Xile looked at the young man in front of him, he didn't realize it for a while, but when he saw this woman, he remembered the history of this family.

This family was the first in the village to get rich, mainly because the young man's father, Daifuku, was capable and a very good salesman.He was the first to travel outside with Chang Xisheng. Later, Chang Xisheng saw that he could support himself alone, so he let him run the business by himself. He did not disappoint Chang Xisheng, and finally became the best among them.

The salesperson got a commission, which also made the family rich first.Since then, there has been a virtuous circle, and wealth has accumulated more and more.

Since Shen Baili's accident happened, Taoyuan Village not only relied on Shen Pei's two forces, but also began to seek business opportunities by itself.So externally, Dafu can be said to be Chang Xisheng's second.

But Dafu traveled a lot outside, especially when he came into contact with a relatively large business later, he also got in touch with many rich and noble people, and learned some bad things outside.

I feel that if I have money, I should be like those rich families, raising maids and servants or something.Now the family has hired a lot of helpers, so they don't have to do any work.If it weren't for the fact that slaves are not allowed in the village, I'm afraid they would have to buy some servant girls to serve them.

Chang Xisheng had mentioned this before, and felt very disgusted.But this kind of thing is also a matter of other people's family, so it's not easy to manage it in such a small way, and it's not appropriate to tell you that you have to work and can't hire people.Just mentioned a few words, Dafu only said that their family members are small, besides, he travels around all the year round, he just feels ashamed of his family members, so he doesn't want them to suffer.

Isn't he working so hard to make his family happy?With all the talk like this, Chang Xisheng couldn't say much.

"Since you have no objections, the execution will start at noon tomorrow." Li Zheng looked at the crying mother and son again, "As for you, since you are not convinced, let's wait for your man to come back before making a decision."

The mother and the son thought that Lizheng had given in, and they were overjoyed. The woman said triumphantly, "Son, don't worry, your father won't have to be punished when he comes back!"

The mother and son were complacent, but they didn't see that everyone looked at them with sympathy.

How could it be normal for Lizheng to invite people here in the middle of the night.Moreover, this is clearly stipulated in the village regulations. The two mothers and sons are not friendly when they commit crimes, and they will be severely punished later.That's why this woman is from outside and doesn't know the rules of Taoyuan Village, that's why she made such a fuss, otherwise, no matter how much she loves her child, she can't do this.

Originally, this happened late, and by the time the crowd dispersed, it was already late at night.

Although Chang Xile's alcohol dissipated, she became very sleepy and kept yawning when she went back.

"Lele, I'll go back with you on my back." He said and squatted in front of Chang Xile.

Chang Xile smiled and said, "I can still walk with only this little distance. If people see me, everyone will think that something is wrong with me."

Chang Yu kept his original movements, insisting on carrying Chang Xile by heart.

Chang Xile was helpless, although this kid has become much calmer than before, he is still a twisted temper.Sometimes the idea is still very weird, and I insist on doing it, and there is no room for negotiation.In fact, Chang Yu wanted to carry him away since he was a child, just like a real tiger.

Chang Xile looked around and saw that there was no one, so she lay on top of Chang Yu.

At this time, Chang Xile also realized that Chang Yu had really grown up. She was originally a small one, but now her shoulders were wider than his, and she became stronger and full of strength.

"Why do I feel like an old man now, I can't walk anymore, and I have to let you carry it on my back."

"I'll grow old with you behind my back."

Chang Xile laughed, "I really think of myself as a tiger."

Chang Yu nodded seriously, "I want you to ride on me."

Chang Yu now occasionally runs on all fours, but mostly in the mountains, rarely in front of people.His four limbs run faster and more agilely than his two feet. This ability seems to be imprinted in his bones and will not change due to changes in his living habits.

His greatest wish is to carry Chang Xile back and forth through the forest, but Chang Xile is not used to being carried on the back, so the horse sickness can be seen.Chang Yu was very depressed in his heart. He had been waiting to grow up and be able to realize this wish, but Chang Xile couldn't bear it.

Chang Xile could feel Chang Yu's mood swings and knew the regret in his heart.In the past, he thought it was inhumane to be carried on someone's back, especially as a child, but now he understood that it was an obsession.Especially the more intimate, the more Chang Yu wants to realize this wish, and has the mentality of wanting to share the most beautiful scenery with you.

"Then let's try?"

Chang Yu shook his head immediately, "You will be uncomfortable."

"Maybe I'm dizzy but not you. If you don't feel well, we'll stop right away."

Chang Yu's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head again.

"I also want to know what it feels like, or do you think my legs are too long?"

As soon as Chang Yu heard this, he lay down on the ground and let Chang Xile ride on his waist, "Hold on to me."

After finishing speaking, he ran quickly, not forgetting to ask about Chang Xile's situation while running.

Chang Xile was surprised that he didn't feel any abnormality. He felt the wind rushing towards him. Although he was not used to this abusive posture at first, and it was not very comfortable to bend his legs, he was quickly overwhelmed by the wind. This feeling is fascinated.The originally drowsy mind became extremely sober, "I'm fine, you run."

Chang Yu was even more excited when he heard it, and he increased his speed to the maximum, galloping like a real tiger.This is a speed and sensitivity that ordinary humans cannot achieve, but it is also extremely stable, so that Chang Xile only feels the speed without being bumped in the slightest.

Although Chang Xile felt very happy, he made Chang Yu stop after a while, and he still couldn't bear Chang Yu to be like this.Although Chang Yu was very happy, he always felt as if he was abusing someone.Chang Yu didn't refuse either, and didn't run to other places, but went home directly.

Entering the room, the first thing Chang Xile did was to light a candle and check Chang Yu's hands, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that they were not worn out.

Chang Yu grabbed his hand, "Lele, I'm very happy today."

Chang Xi laughed. Although he didn't understand this kind of obsession, after all, this kind of behavior seemed to be abuse to him. It can be seen that Chang Yu's face was satisfied, and he was not annoyed by the interruption of the previous intimacy. How much it meant to him.

One must know that Chang Yu had long expected the two of them to take a step forward, but they were interrupted at the last step, not to mention that Chang Yu himself was also very angry.If it was Chang Yu from two years ago, he would have lost his temper immediately.Now that Chang Yu has grown up, he is more calm than before, so he can't bear it.

But this is also based on the fact that these four people will definitely not be able to avoid punishment today, otherwise they will definitely not fall well.It's not good on the surface, but Chang Yu has plenty of ways to punish people secretly.

"As long as you are happy, it seems that I am only dizzy, not you."

Chang Yu's smile became brighter, and only then did he have the appearance he should have in his teens.Ever since Chang Yu started training everyone, coupled with consciously getting closer to Chang Xile, she has become more calm.Moreover, he is tall and has a very tough face line, which makes him appear quite mature, and he will only occasionally find the appearance of this age in his expression.

As soon as he got home, Chang Xile became sleepy again, and Chang Yu didn't bother him anymore, telling him to go to bed quickly.The two stuck together, and they didn't continue what they hadn't done before.

It's not that he didn't want to, but Chang Yu felt sorry for Chang Xile's body. He always kept in mind the doctor's words that Chang Xile's body needs to be nourished.Not only diet and other attention, but also living habits are very important.The satisfaction of desires is very important, but in Chang Yu's view, it is far less important than Chang Xile's physical health.

When the other three were being punished the next day, Dafu came back, and Lizheng didn't beat around the bush and asked him directly what his attitude was.

Dafu hesitated for a while before opening his mouth and said: "Lizheng, I know it's my fault. But the ten lashes are too heavy. My child has been in poor health since he was a child. Wouldn't it kill him to go down with ten lashes?" .”

"When did our village become so unreasonable? This rule is to let everyone know what to do and what not to do, instead of really wanting his life. You said he couldn't stand it , then whip and whip."

The rules in Taoyuan Village have always been strict, but if it wasn't for a vicious incident, it wouldn't really drive people to death.

Dafu suddenly fell silent again, and everyone understood that he was just making excuses.

"Dafu, you have been traveling around these years, and you should be most aware of what will happen in the future if you get involved in gambling. If you feel sorry for him now, you are harming him!" The elder of the Dafu family persuaded earnestly.

"But now it's different from before. We used to be poor and couldn't afford to lose. Now we have money, and it's okay to play occasionally. I know my son, but he is just a bit playful, not that crazy gambler Lizheng, clan elder and master Wen, please forgive him and let him go, my son really can't bear to be beaten."

The clan elder shook his head and sighed, turning his face to one side.

"This is the village rule, no intercession is allowed. Since you think it's unfair, you can either bite the bullet and let your son admit punishment, or just get out of the village. We are not from Taoyuan Village, so we don't bother to bother."

When everyone heard this, they all thought that the Dafu family would compromise, but they didn't expect that it was not the case.

Dafu was stunned, gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Chang Xile.

"Master Wen, I know that it is thanks to your support all these years that I am here today, but this village can't tolerate our family anymore. I am here to thank you for giving me the opportunity to succeed in Dafu. I will never forget it in this life." This kindness."

After speaking, he stood up, took his wife and children and left.

Everyone sighed when they saw this, and felt that Dafu's family was a demon, and they left Taoyuan Village for such a small matter.The current Taoyuan Village is a place of happiness, why do you still want to leave?

But Chang Xile and Li Zheng knew very well in their hearts that this great fortune probably no longer cared about Taoyuan Village.

Taoyuan Village is lively and peaceful, but it is not as prosperous as the mansion.In recent years, Dafu often runs outside, and he is no longer a simple salesman.He is quick-witted and has already started business outside.

He didn't leave Taoyuan Village before, but he was still attached, but now that he encountered such a thing, he didn't want his son to still suffer here.

The clan elder shook his head and sighed, "This man is too big to be locked up. There will always be a day, but what he is doing now is harming his son!"

"He eats the bad fruit he sows, and he will regret it later." Li Zheng said.

In the end of the gambling incident, Dafu's family left Taoyuan Village, and the other three were punished and were no longer allowed to work at the dock. Then do business at the pier as the ending.

This incident rang a bell on the heads of the villagers of Taoyuan Village. Don't think that if you have a little money, you will be frivolous. The village rules are as big as the sky.
