Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity
Chapter 315 Being Beaten
Xiao Lan was not sure whether it was a boy or not after three or four months, but she knew that Xu was looking forward to having a boy. Thinking of the scene when the whole family of the old Sheng family gathered in front of the food store that day, Xu's face turned pale at that time. It turned out to be this reason.
"What a sin..." These were what Xiao Lan and Fu were thinking in their hearts. You reap what you sow. Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai were such fools from Hejian County that they had never accumulated good fortune. It was only a matter of time before they would suffer retribution.
Seeing that Xiaolan and Fu both showed expressions of pity, Shen climbed up the ladder and said, "My eldest niece, the child's aunt, I am the only one in the family who has good hands and feet. I am strong and can work. You see, your tofu workshop is hiring people, I can just come and light the fire for you... I don't want any wages... Just provide me with three meals a day... not just two meals a day. I am not picky about food, just the same as the fourth child's family."
It turned out that Shen saw Xiaoye and Liu working in a food shop, and she was jealous of them eating two meals a day in the food shop, so she thought of working in the tofu workshop.
She knew her own position very clearly. She knew that she was sloppy and she could not enter the food shop anyway. Moreover, the labor in the food shop was full now, so it was even more impossible for her to enter. So she set her sights on the tofu workshop.
She doesn't have to be locked up at home, and can get some fresh air and chat with the wives in the village. Even if she doesn't get paid, she is very willing to come. As long as the workshop can provide her with two meals a day, that's enough.
Shen was extremely happy to do so, but Xiaolan and Fu were not at all willing.
"Second aunt, you are the only one in the family with healthy hands and feet. We dare not employ you. You'd better go home quickly. There are so many chores waiting for you in your family..." Xiao Lan said.
But even though Xiao Lan ordered them to leave, Shen acted as if she didn't hear it and was still unwilling to leave.
At this moment, Xiao Ye ran over in a hurry, "Sister Xiao Lan... It's bad, it's bad, our master has been carried back..."
"What's the matter, Ye'er?" Xiao Lan asked.
"Didn't I just go home to feed the pigs?" Xiao Ye said as he glanced at Shen who was sitting on the kang.
"Second aunt, didn't you hear what Xiaoye just said?" Xiao Lan said.
At this time, Shen was sitting on the kang without moving, not even lifting her buttocks. After hesitating for a long time, Shen finally said, "Then I'll go with you..."
"You go back first. Aren't you afraid that my grandma will scold you? There's no one working at home and you just come out to hang around." Xiao Lan said.
"I'm not just wandering around. I'm out looking for a job. Besides, your grandma doesn't have time to scold me now." Shen got off the kang while muttering.
"Niece, do you all have to come to the old house later?" Shen asked Xiaolan while putting on her shoes.
Old Master Sheng went out upright but came back sideways. No matter what, Xiaolan and her family had to go and take a look.
Xiao Lan nodded.
Then Shen went out.
"Ye'er, what's going on?" Xiao Lan continued to ask Xiao Ye.
"Didn't I just go home to feed the pigs?" Although Xiaoye and Liu worked in a food shop, because they raised chickens, ducks and pigs at home, Xiaoye would go home halfway through his work.
"Then I saw my eldest and second uncles carrying grandpa back on a door panel. At that time, my second uncle looked up and saw me, and asked me to come and inform your family as soon as possible. He said that grandpa went to collect the rent and was beaten by someone, and asked my third uncle to go to the old house as soon as possible."
"Sister Xiaolan, tell me, what's going on? If our family could move out earlier, there wouldn't be all these bad things. Sister Xiaolan, what do you think I should do in the future? These people will definitely order me around all the time and ask me to send messages to your family..."
"Xiao Ye, you heard it right. It was our second uncle who said that was our grandfather beaten when he was collecting rent?" Xiao Lan asked again.
"You heard it right, that's what Second Uncle said." Xiao Ye said. "Sister Xiao Lan, are you guys going to come over later?"
Old Master Sheng was beaten and carried back. Sheng Kai also sent someone to notify Xiao Lan's family. Could they not go and take a look?
"Then I'll go back first and call my father and mother..." Xiao Lan said.
When Sheng Xuan found out that Old Man Sheng had been knocked down, his face changed immediately.
"Dad, calm down. This is what my second uncle said, so we have to take his words with a pinch of salt... As for how this matter turns out, we'll have to talk about it later. When we get to the old house, we'll ask him about it."
Although the family who rented the land out were a bit lazy, they had never been heard to get violent with anyone. Mr. Sheng was quite old now, and Xiao Lan didn't dare to believe that they dared to hit him.
Besides, aren't the two brothers Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai here? With them around, Xiao Lan doesn't believe they can really let anyone touch the old man. If the two sons are there, and they still let someone beat the old man, it can only mean that the two sons are too useless.
Sheng Xuan, Zhang, Xiao Lan, Xiao Wen, Su Ye, Xiao Qing and Xiao Xi went to the old house, while Xiao Ting stayed at home to look after the house. Liu was unmoved and continued to work in the food shop, but Xiao Ye followed.
Xiao Lan hadn't been to the old house for a long time. She saw a broken door curtain hanging on the door of the old house, which was made of the family's broken mattress and used to block the wind. There was a pile of firewood in one corner, which should be what Xiao Ye's family prepared for the winter. Next to the firewood pile, there was a pile of cabbage, covered with a straw curtain...
"Xiao Ye, do you have enough vegetables at home?" Xiao Lan asked in a low voice.
When it comes to food, Xiao Ye feels a little depressed.
"Enough. The vegetables my family grows seem to be grown for them. ... And the firewood my family collects... They don't even say hello to us, they just go and get the vegetables and firewood by themselves... As if this is their share, as if we owe them something. They are so shameless, have they forgotten the vegetables in the garden when they left..." Xiao Ye became more and more excited and irritated as he spoke.
Before Xiao Lan and her group reached the door, the broken door curtain was lifted, and Xu stood against the door frame, holding the door curtain, looking haggard. Then, Sheng Nuo, Sheng Kai, Sheng Hong, Shen and others came out, and then a group of people rushed into the room, and saw Mr. Sheng lying on the kang, and Cui sitting next to him, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
