Zhang laughed and said, "I've heard about this, too. The second son's family is very busy now. They have to take care of the family and visit other people every day. They tell everyone about the eldest son's bad deeds and say bad things about him. I'm afraid someone will really agree to marry into the Sheng family."

Every time Sheng Kai and Shen mentioned Sheng Nuo, they never forgot to mention the grievances between Sheng Nuo and Sheng Xuan's family. Their purpose was to tell people not to think that marrying Sheng Nuo would allow them to get close to the Sheng Xuan family and gain benefits from them. On the contrary, Sheng Nuo and Sheng Xuan had a grudge against each other.

While Grandpa Sheng and Sheng Nuo were busy asking people to arrange a marriage for them, Sheng Kai and Shen were busy trying to sabotage them. This matter had become a laughing stock in the village.

"This big family of theirs quarrels every day, and even after the quarrel, they still sit down at the same table to eat." Xiao Ye described the current situation of the old Sheng family to Xiao Lan.

Mr. Sheng took Sheng Nuo out for activities for several days, but no serious marriage proposals came to his house. Mr. Sheng was so anxious that his mouth was covered with blisters. Now he can't even eat dry rice every day, and can only drink porridge for every meal.

The old man was not confused. He knew that the reason why he had gained nothing these days was because Sheng Kai and Shen had been making every effort to sabotage them.

The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. After dinner that day, Mr. Sheng invited the second son and his family to stay.

"Second brother, what do you want to do? Are you so happy to let the villagers laugh at me and your eldest brother? What good will it do for you?" Grandpa Sheng asked Sheng Kai.

Sheng Kai said heartlessly, "Dad, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

"Don't mess with me!" Old Master Sheng's face darkened. "You go around destroying your eldest brother's reputation every day. Do you think that this will prevent your eldest brother from getting married?"

"Don't think about our money. The money is for your elder brother to marry a wife. If he can't find a wife, the money won't be spent on you. That's what I'm saying now."

Sheng Kai did not argue with the old man this time, because he knew that the old man only cared about him, his eldest son. He had made up his mind, and he would sabotage the old man while he arranged things in the front.

As the saying goes, it is not easy to accomplish something, but it is much easier to destroy it.

Sheng Kai is a tough guy who never follows any rules when doing things. He is not afraid of anything and does not care about anything. This kind of person is the most difficult to deal with.

So the old man had no choice but to speak out his true feelings, "Second brother, why don't you understand? Don't worry, listen to me and I will tell you slowly. I will find a wife for your eldest brother first, and then I will find one for Xiaoyuan right away. I will definitely not let your family suffer any loss."

"Don't worry about the money. Besides, we still have the Third Brother. I'm risking my reputation, isn't it worth a few taels of silver? When the time comes, find a good one for Xiaoyuan, and we'll get the job done in style."

"Dad, since the third brother agreed to lend you some money, does that mean you don't have to pay it back?" Sheng Kai asked.

"I asked him to lend me money, how could he refuse to lend me money?" said Mr. Sheng. "If I asked him to lend me money to marry my eldest son, he might give me a beating, but if I asked him to lend me money to marry Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyuan is his own nephew, how could he refuse to lend me money?"

"I can assure you that he will happily take out the money when the time comes. As for returning the money, I'm here. I promise I won't burden you."

The meaning of this statement is the same as borrowing money and not having to pay it back.

"Second brother, this is a matter of priority. Your eldest brother is the elder, so his wife should be allowed to enter the house first. Otherwise, it would not sound good if you tell Xiaoyuan first, right?"

"This is Daddy's last wish. Please fulfill it. I promise to take care of everything properly so that you don't have to worry about anything."

Sheng Kai naturally understood the deep meaning of Grandpa Sheng's last sentence. He rolled his eyes and laughed out loud.

"Dad, let's talk about the future later. You should first bring Xiaoyuan's wife into the family. From now on, you can do whatever you want. I don't care how many wives you want for my eldest brother." Sheng Kai said this after laughing.

What Mr. Sheng said to Sheng Kai made him so angry that he almost fell over. It seemed that all his words to him were in vain.

"What are you talking about? How many second brother's wives? That's the tradition of our family!" said Mr. Sheng angrily. "Why are you so stubborn? I told you that it's just a matter of two days to find a wife for Xiaoyuan. Why can't you do that?"

"Then let my elder brother wait a few days." Sheng Kai said, "Besides, my elder brother has married so many wives. He is so old. Can he still give you a grandson? But my Xiaoyuan is different. If you find him a wife this year, you will be able to hold your great-grandson next year..."

Seeing that he and Sheng Kai could no longer agree, the old man waved his hand and sent him and his family away.

These days, there have been constant disputes and quarrels at home over whether to give Shengnuo or Xiaoyuan a wife. Most of the time, Shengnuo kept his head down and didn't argue much.

Old Master Sheng saw it all and was anxious, so he felt even more pity for the eldest son. Compared with the scoundrel of the second son, Sheng Nuo seemed even more like a weak scholar.

"Big brother, you should go back and have a rest. Don't listen to the second brother's nonsense all day long. And don't think too much. You might even ruin your body..." Grandpa Sheng said to Sheng Nuo when he saw him sitting there with his head down.

Although Sheng Nuo has a son and a daughter-in-law, and they are both very filial. But when Sheng Nuo gets old, he will always need a companion to take care of him and serve him...

The old man wanted to find a wife for his eldest son before he closed his eyes, otherwise he couldn't bear to leave his eldest son alone to suffer in this world.

After Sheng Nuo left, Cui said to Mr. Sheng, "You can't eat or sleep well these days. Don't wait until the eldest son finds a wife, and you die first."

Old Master Sheng knew that Cui was concerned about him. They were already an old couple, so how could he not understand her?

"It's been a long time since we had a baby. Xiaohong's wife has had a miscarriage for a while, but she hasn't had a baby yet... Is this really the retribution for the sins we committed?"
