Chapter 10 The Tieu's Foul Kinship

  "The trees on Peach Blossom Mountain are so dense, are there any wild game to hunt?"   "There are wild boars, rabbits, pheasants, and pangolins. Can you hit them?"   "One pig, two tigers and three bears. Are there really wild boars? I don't want to go up the mountain, let's go fishing! Do you have a fishing rod at home?"   "Yes. Can you fish?"   "Hey, hey, try it!"   Yang Fei liked to fish, and they all played at professional fishing grounds.   Behind the Su family house, there was a small pond.   Yang Fei took a hoe and turned it over in the vegetable garden, turning out a few long and fat earthworms. Then moved a small bench, happy to go fishing.   His side sat down soon, the village did not go to school children, all ran over to join in the fun.   Yang Fei is not annoyed, fishing well, as the case may be good.   He and the children talked and laughed for half a day, but the local dialect learned a seven or eight.   By noon, Yang Fei had caught more than ten carp.   A few kids helped him carry buckets, benches and bamboo poles back home.   "Elder sister, come and see, the fish in the pond are very good! Much better than the fish in the fishing grounds!"   Su Tong was saying something to her mother, when she saw him come back, she inclined her head, wiped her eyes, and laughed, "Ready to eat."   The meal was set on the table, and only then did Su's father carry his hoe into the house.   Su family members acted enthusiastically towards Yang Fei's arrival.   This made Yang Fei flattered.   Just after finishing the meal, a bellowing voice came from outside the house, "Tong Meizi!"   The voice was so loud, as loud as if it had struck a thunderbolt.   With the sound of words, like the wind came in a strong man.   This man, born with iron tower also like, black rift face, cowbell eyes, arm thicker than the average thigh, waist with a millstone almost thick.   "Tie Niu, you're here, have you eaten? Quickly sit down and have a drink." Su mother got up to greet.   When Yang Fei heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I was just thinking, this person looks similar to Li Kui, the only difference is that you don't have a beard. I didn't expect that you are really called Tie Niu!"   "Tong sister, who is he?" Iron Bull looked at Yang Fei hostilely, his fists clenched and cackling, like a fighting bull, as if he would charge out of the fence and ram people at any time.   "Tie Niu, what are you doing?" Su Tong chortled coldly.   All things in this world, one thing is as good as another.   Iron Ox, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, in front of Su Tong, like a schoolboy who made a mistake, immediately lowered his head and huffed and puffed, "I heard people say that you recruited a wild husband back! I'll ask you if it's true!"   Su Tong was so angry that her delicate body trembled, copied the broom in the corner and pointed at Tie Niu, "What are you talking nonsense about? I'll beat you out the door!"   Tie Niu took two steps back, like a big girl, mumbling, "Then who is he? I want to hear it from you!"   "He's my colleague and my schoolmate! What's the matter? Do you have a problem with that? I'll take care of it! Go back to your own home and lose your temper!"   Tie Niu asked stubbornly, "Is he your boyfriend or not?"   "Is it any of your business?" Su Tong asked through gritted teeth.   "How is it none of my business? You ask your father, when your father asked my family to borrow three thousand dollars, he said that he would let you be my parishioner! How dare you deny it? Don't say you're just a laborer, even if you're a national cadre, you can't go back on this marriage!" Tie Niu strained his neck and roared in anger.   He was talking to Su Tong, but his eyes were focused on Yang Fei, these words were clearly meant for Yang Fei to hear.   Yang Fei rubbed his chin and thought, "What era is this, there is actually such a thing?   Su Tong lifted the broom and hit Tie Niu without a head: "Nonsense! Get out!"   Iron Ox's buffalo-like strong body, under Su Tong's delicate hands, actually had no power to fight, hands protecting his head, retreating, soon swept out.   Su Tong bang closed the door and leaned against the door panel, there seemed to be a fire in her chest, running up and down, her breathing was rapid and disorganized.   Suddenly, she turned around, slumped against the door, and with a wow, burst into tears.   All the grievances, through this matter, the pain and suffering out.   Yang Fei heart knows the joints, she cried, not the iron ox thing, but bullied, lost his job, and did not dare to talk to the family's pain.   Su's father stood awkwardly at the dining table, sweating: "At that time it was just a joke, who knows this Tieh Niu took it seriously! Hey, what's going on here!"   Su mother coughed a few times, anxiously said, "I don't care if you're joking or not, I'm not going to cure the disease, I'm not going to eat the medicine, I'm going to save the money and return it to the Tie family, and when I return it, it's all settled! My precious daughter, is a junior college student, and a worker cadre, how can she marry Tieh Niu that person? Isn't that a flower stuck in cow dung?"   Su's father said with difficulty, "Three thousand dollars, not three hundred, you think you can just pay it back! Take your time!"   Su Tong stopped sobbing, wiped away her tears, turned back and said, "Dad, I'll pay back the money! Don't you guys worry about it."   In the afternoon, Yang Fei and Su Tong came to the pond.   "Warrior Yang, I've made you laugh." Su Tong picked up a stone and threw it into the pond water, causing a string of blisters, "I was dying to find a crack in the ground to drill into."   "Do you want to make money?" Yang Fei smiled slightly.   "Oh? Of course I want to, who doesn't want to make money! Money isn't everything, but without money, it's nothing. Today's situation, you've also seen it. But where to make money?" Su Tong sighed hopelessly.   Yang Fei followed her words and said, "Why don't you quit your job and go to sea, doing business is always more profitable than taking a dead wage."   He knew that she resigned, and said so to give her a step down and take care of her fragile but tenacious self-esteem.   Su Tong raised her head in surprise, and after a long moment of silence, she said, "Warrior Yang, in fact, I also have this idea"   She still didn't say what happened yesterday.   For a woman, it wasn't honorable for something like that to happen, it wasn't worth bragging about, and there was no need to bring it up for sympathy.   She even didn't want to mention that sordid scene in front of Yang Fei.   "Haha, it's true that heroes see eye to eye!" Yang Fei grabbed a stone and hit the water in the pond, "Have you thought about doing any business?"   "I haven't thought about doing business, I plan to go to the coast to work. I heard that the wages are higher there. There's a base salary, and a commission, paid by the piece, more work, more pay. I'll work hard for a few years and pay off my debt first."   "How much higher can it be? The work word is not out of the ordinary, an extra one or two hundred dollars a month, enough for what?"   Yang Fei said this and got up, casually asking, "Walk around with me! Where are the stores nearby? Is it far from the town?"   Su Tong recovered and laughed, "You're a guest, I shouldn't bother you with this shit, go, I'll take you shopping!"
