Chapter 3: Returning Home

Tang Sihan was not at ease even when he was being beaten with a board. Because he used to cause trouble at home and get beaten, he habitually placed a piece of dried pig skin behind his butt and howled with his mouth.
At the actual slight pain, the yamen runner found something unusual, and Tang Shinan quickly gave a meaningful look. Then he said, "I'll treat my brothers to a drink another day!" After that, he chuckled
The yamen runners looked at Tang Sinan's buttocks and found something slightly suspicious, but did not say anything.
After Tang Sinan received his beating, he returned home. Tang Shimin said, "Kneel down, you sinful child!"
"Dad! My butt hurts, so I can't kneel down!"
“我还不知道你，常年屁股上不离猪皮，挨打习以为常了，钻研此道还能受多大的伤！”
“爹呀！你也不能跟儿子的仇人称兄道弟！”
"The Suze Escort Suze is a good person. He did not remarry for the rest of his life after his wife's death and devoted himself to raising his daughter. Who would believe your slander against his daughter's innocence? Suze has already won over your heart!"
The fight originally had nothing to do with you getting punished, but you are just too infuriating. Can a girl's reputation be insulted like that? When getting punished, you played tricks, and the county magistrate, for the sake of my father's face, turned a blind eye.
“It's frustrating that people accuse me of tarnishing her reputation, but I don't care about that girl at all!”
“A gentleman has things he can do, and things he can refrain from doing!”
“Dad! You're just a landlord, how many people have favorable opinions on tang leather for landlords!”
"I saw you, say that again!" Tang Shimin said, picking up a chicken feather duster.
Tang Sinan saw that it wasn't a good situation and quickly said, "Yes, you're right!"
Tang's lady, Tian Wenting, heard that her son had been punished and hurried to visit. She saw her husband angrily staring at their son with a chicken feather duster in hand!
Tian's wife came in, furious, and started scolding, "I'm telling you, you old Tang, our son just got beaten by the constable, and now you come back to inflict punishment on him again. This old Tang is trying to leave us with no way to live!"
Continuing to say, "I married into your Tang family and worked so hard, and gave birth to such a precious son for you. Ah! What else do you want? Do you want to drive the two of us to our deaths?"
She told you, although she is only 46 years old, she is still a beautiful woman. She's in a hurry to remarry with her son!
Tang Shimin: "Oh, wife! Let's not go!" He said, throwing the chicken feather duster on the ground. He looked at his wife with a flattering smile.
Then he said, "I married you as a daughter-in-law, you understand!"
His wife said, "What are you stuttering for? You were just hitting our son so hard!"
The old man said, "I didn't hit him, I didn't hit him!" and then he gave his son a meaningful glance.
Tang Sinan: "Humph!"
Mrs. Tang came to Tang Sinan's side. She grabbed Tang Sinan's ear and scolded him, "You troublemaker, always making your father angry. Last time he was so angry that he wanted to have two more children with the concubine. Look at how happy your mother is now. Why do you want to make your mother unhappy in her old age?"
"Mother! I dare not." He thought to himself, the old man is always beating me in front of others. Su Yuehen, if I don't settle the score with you, I won't be called the number one master in Nanping.
Seven days later is the Dragon Boat Festival. Let's race the dragon boats and see how I deal with you. If it wasn't for your pretty face, I would have dealt with you a long time ago. Do you think I would openly deal with you?"
The more I think about it, the more I feel that Su Yuehen is different. At this moment, I am really angry. I must teach you a lesson. "Ouch! Ouch! My butt hurts! My butt hurts!"
"Come here, let mother have a look at you," Mrs. Tang said.
When Tang Shinan heard this, he quickly ran and said, "No need, no need, I'll let the big yellow dog at the door lick it for me! I can't let the blood flow in vain."
Mrs. Tang: "You be careful of that big yellow dog, it might bite your butt off!"
“No, no. This is like not letting the fertile water flow into someone else's field!” Tang Sinan replied.
Mr. Tang was so angry that his beard stood up: "Reading this book, sighing in vain."
Escort Su Ze led his daughter home and, with concern, asked, "Is my precious daughter hurt? Next time when you fight with someone, there's no need for you to do it yourself. Dad will do it for you. Are you upset?" (This is the way of treating a daughter and a son differently) My precious daughter!
Not dad said to you. We are not in Nanjing. You follow dad to guard the convoy. You have been used to being tough. Now we are in Nanping. Dad hopes you stay away from the past troubles and prepare to get married peacefully, like a girl.
"Daddy's daughter won't get married, not in this lifetime!"
"Girl, I can't be with you forever!"
"You're forcing your daughter to marry, and she'll end up marrying a useless person!"
Su Ze: "Good daughter, who do you have in mind? Daddy won't interfere with anyone else, but the first one must be approved by me!"
“爹，您说什么呢？他污女儿的清白！”
“你以为那小子想什么呢？污了你的清白，你就得嫁他，别以为爹在县堂没看见他，看你晃神儿了，你一笑就把他看晕了找不着北，不过娘炮长得也不错，柳叶眉大眼睛瓜子脸唇红齿白，娘气些，长得很漂亮。
