Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

But no one who came in to talk about reconciliation mentioned these words. They all knew that Sheng Nuo was the old man's treasure.

"As a parent, who doesn't want their children and grandchildren to be well?... I would like to do both things at the same time, but there is only so much money in the family. There is no other way." Old Master Sheng complained to the person who came in to make peace.

Everyone was silent.

"I'm talking about a wife for the eldest son first. I'm not being partial. I'm getting older and older, and my health is getting worse. I'm really scared. I don't know when I'll die... I can't stand watching my eldest son being single... So I want to get this done for him while I still have a breath left in me, so that he'll have someone who understands and cares for him in the future, and I can close my eyes in peace..."

"Xiaoyuan is still young, he can be successful even if he is two years later... My eldest son... I am afraid that he will continue to waste time like this, I am really afraid that he will die before me..." At this point, Grandpa Sheng was already in tears, "When I am gone, he will be a fatherless child, but by then, Xiaoyuan will have a father and a mother, and someone will take care of him..."

"But the second son kept arguing with me. I said it again in front of everyone. After I finish taking care of my eldest son's affairs, I will immediately take care of Xiaoyuan. If the family is short of money, I will go and borrow it. His third and fourth uncles can't just watch him be single... But I said this in advance. These two sons have separated from the family and lived separately. The borrowed money must be repaid in the future..."

It is obvious that Mr. Sheng's speaking ability is much better than Sheng Kai's. Sheng Kai only knows how to shout and emphasize every point in his speech, but Mr. Sheng's attitude is very clear. He tells the whole story through his mouth. At first glance, it seems that he is very fair in his dealings and shows that he is not partial to the eldest brother at all. It seems that it is natural to marry the eldest brother first, and Sheng Kai's behavior is obviously unreasonable.

Mr. Sheng's art of speaking is also demonstrated in another aspect. He just said that as long as the third and fourth sons' families can lend money to their family, it seems that this problem will be solved and there will be no need for this quarrel.

The people standing under the windows in the yard listening to the excitement couldn't help but whisper to each other, "This old man has a plan in mind. He used this ready-made silver to find a wife for his eldest son, but his eldest son has a grudge against the third son's family... Besides, I've never heard of a younger brother arranging a wife for his older brother... This old man arranged for his eldest son first, and when the remaining grandsons were looking for wives, he found the third son. No matter what the third uncle does, he can't ignore his nephew..."

"They have been to Hejian County and have seen more of the world than us, so they naturally have more ideas in their minds..."

What Grandpa Sheng said in front of others made a lot of sense, and he also assured Xiaoyuan that money for a wife would not be a problem at all, but his words did not appease Sheng Kai.

Sheng Kai now will no longer believe in verbal promises. What he wants to grab is the silver he can get now.

"Dad, who are you trying to fool with these words?" Sheng Kai grinned and laughed at himself. "In the past, you said a lot of nice things like this. You said that we all had to work harder and tighten our belts, and when my eldest brother became successful and an official, we would be able to live a good life with him. We have worked hard for 20 to 30 years, busy like animals every day, and all the money we earned was used to support him. In the end, what happened to us?"

"We are now worse off than the farmhands of the Third Brother's family! It was because of him that Xiaoyuan was delayed and married that unlucky girl Pang Xiu'e! If you hadn't come and always asked us to wait, would we have to marry such a jerk!"

"When Sheng Nuo became an official, he wanted to divide the family business and kick us all out. I remember everything!"

"What kind of person is he? How could I not know him? You are still thinking about finding him a wife first and leaving Xiaoyuan single. He has already married two wives, and you are still thinking about finding him another one. Dad, you said you are not biased, but your heart is biased to the point of armpits!"

Such topics were obviously popular with many people. People outside who were watching the fun wanted to stick their heads in through the window to see what was going on. Everyone was hoping that Sheng Kai could talk more about the private affairs of the Sheng family.

Sheng Nuo's face turned red because of this incident, and Mr. Sheng was also very embarrassed and kept coughing.

"Sheng Nuo, even though he is silent now, he has no conscience! He is selfish. In his heart, he has no one but himself. We treat him as a brother, but he doesn't treat us as human beings..."

"For many years, he has been hiding in the town, enjoying the best food and the most luxurious drinks. Our whole family has been eating coarse food and not having enough to eat. We are also dressed like beggars. But he never felt guilty. He never looked down on us. He treated us like slaves every day... He sold Xiaolan to make money, that was his trick... What good can come from his family? Now we are talking about a wife for him. He thinks it's not enough to harm us..."

"He did something bad behind the scenes and married Chunhua to an old man just to find a backer for himself so that he could make money..."

If we were to ask who in the family knew the most about the bad things Sheng Nuo had done, it would be Sheng Kai. He even knew what Sheng Nuo had done better than the old man. When Sheng Kai revealed everything Sheng Nuo had done, he would occasionally reveal some things that everyone else didn't know.

Although many of the things Sheng Kai said were already known to the whole village, but to repeat them in front of the guys, and the person saying them was still Sheng Kai, it seemed like tearing open the wound that had just healed, bloody and heartbreaking...

Grandpa Sheng's face was burning with anger when he heard this, and his heart was frying in oil... "Second brother, why are you still talking about these trivial things? After all, he is still your eldest brother. Let's just talk about the matter, and don't bring up other topics!" Grandpa Sheng stopped Sheng Kai from talking nonsense.
