Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"Then Dad, you just take a rest, we'll be going back." Sheng Xuan said this, and then took his whole family out.

"Dad, why did you just let the third son go like this?" Sheng Xuan left with his men. Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai hurriedly came to the old man and said.

"Dad, you're like this now. No matter what you ask for, the third brother will definitely agree..." Sheng Kai said anxiously, "You tell me, if you don't say anything, our family will soon run out of food..."

"Dad, the second brother is right..."

"You two unfilial sons, get out of here! Go back to your room and stay here quietly..." Old Master Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and scolded in a low voice.

The two brothers Sheng Nuo and Sheng Xuan looked at each other, wanting to say something but they didn't dare to, so they could only walk back to their rooms in embarrassment...

Xiaolan and her family returned home, sat on the kang, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Wen, you just took our grandfather's pulse. Did you find out anything?" Xiao Lan asked.

"It's said to be depression, and there's liver fire and heart fire attacking the heart..." Xiao Wen said.

"The old man's health is not as good as before." Sheng Xuan sighed.

"Dad, you mean that my grandfather no longer has the same spirit and energy as before." Xiao Lan said.

Sheng Xuan and Xiao Wen both nodded in agreement with the girl's description. She was right. This was exactly the feeling the old man gave people now.

The old man had been in very good health before. He worked hard all year round and was very strong. In the eyes of farmers, this was a symbol of longevity.

However, to live, people need not only physical health, but also essence, energy and spirit to support them. If the essence, energy and spirit are gone, then the person's body will collapse.

Ever since the old man came back from Hejian County, this spirit and energy has disappeared. Xiaolan's family knows exactly why.

"Do you know why my grandfather suddenly fainted?" Xiao Lan suddenly asked.

The whole family stared at Xiaolan and Xiaowen asked, "Is there anything else?"

Xiaolan nodded, and then told her family what Xiaocao had told her.

"The old lady from Erlaizi's family scolded our grandfather, saying that our eldest and second uncles were not good people and that they just followed their parents' ways."

The whole family's faces turned green as they listened to Xiaolan's imitation.

"What kind of thing is this? What kind of thing is this?" Sheng Xuan said angrily.

Now the old man is sick from anger, and her family is paying for his medical treatment. As for the rent of Erlaizi's land, and the thirty acres of land that were rented out, should her family help get it back? If not, are they going to watch these people starve?

If their family helps solve this problem, what if they encounter problems in the future?

At that time, Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai were prevented from entering the house, and only Grandpa Sheng and Cui were invited in. This action actually made their attitude clear to the people in the village. At that time, their family was concerned that they were afraid that the two brothers would do things in the name of their family.

Xiao Lan expressed her concerns.

"How about we set up two tables at home?" Xiao Wen said.

"Well, this is a good idea. Let's invite the head of the village and all the famous people in the village... those people who were present when Shangfang went to Hejian County to write the document... none of them can be left behind, let's bring them here together..." Xiao Lan said.

Xiao Wen's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Yes, my second sister is right. We have done our best to the extent that we have done so far. Everyone can see it. Let's take advantage of that day to make our family's position clear."

After the discussion, Xiaolan, Xiaoting, Zhang took Su Ye's wife, Xiaoqing and Xiaolu to prepare meals at home, while Shengxuan and Xiaowen went out to invite people.

In the evening, the village head and the elders all sat in the front hall of Xiaolan's house. At the dinner table, Xiaowen reiterated his family's attitude towards the old Sheng family, and then talked about the land rent and the thirty acres of land.

These matters were resolved with the intention of asking the village head and clan elders to help Grandpa Sheng negotiate and resolve them with Erlaizi's family.

We had agreed at that time that the six acres of land that we got when the family was divided would be left for grandpa and grandma for their retirement. After we get back the thirty acres of land, we will get the six acres back, and I will find someone to rent it out. From then on, the rent of the land will all go to the old couple, and they won't have to work in the fields anymore. The produce will be enough for them to eat and drink.

The rent from six acres of land is more than enough to provide food and clothing for two elderly people.

"After we take back these lands, we also need to separate my grandfather's land and the areas of my two uncles. Six acres of land among them will be the living land for the old couple." Xiao Wen said.

As long as the people from Lao Sheng's family live an honest life, they should be able to hold out until the new grain comes in. Xiao Lan's family has already received transitional food rations, and they currently have 30 acres of land rent that can sustain their food and clothing for the next year.

The Sheng family has committed such a serious crime and their reputation has become so bad that not only Xiaolan's family, but the whole village are watching to see whether the Sheng family can do what they say.

Now, the transitional rations given by Xiaolan's family have been eaten up, and Grandpa Sheng took Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai to ask for rent, but in the end they returned empty-handed and became sick from anger. Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai were fine, but Grandpa was carried back on a door panel. It was the doctor that their family sent to pay for Grandpa's treatment.

The people in the village are not blind. From this incident, they can see that the two brothers Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai are useless. Sheng Xuan's family has already proposed to take the old couple to live in their home, but the old man disagrees and insists on living with the eldest and second sons. But now it seems that Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai are useless. They can't even take good care of the old couple, so Sheng Xuan's family proposed to separate the land of the old couple and rent it out later. The rent for the old couple all year round is enough. It saves them from living with the eldest and second sons, who are troublesome and have no food to eat.

This was discussed by the whole family before the banquet was set up. This was done to prevent the old couple from pretending to be pitiful and even asking for things from their family. The purpose of doing this was naturally to subsidize the eldest and second oldest families. Xiaolan's family did this to prevent such things from happening.

If the old man hadn't been too partial, Xiaolan's family wouldn't have been so serious about it. But with all these things laid out in the open, their family had to be on guard.
