Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"Dad, the third brother's family is getting better and better. You should come up with some rules. "There are only a few of us in our family. Why can't he provide us with food?" Sheng Kai said to Grandpa Sheng.

"You know nothing," Old Master Sheng suddenly raised his head and glanced at Sheng Kai, "You are a beast who is always causing trouble but can't do anything. You still have the nerve to make a fuss. If it weren't for you, would our family be in this state now?"

"Dad, why are you taking your anger out on me again?" Sheng Kai felt wronged and aggrieved. He stood up angrily and wanted to leave, but after thinking for a while, he sat back on the stool angrily.

"Dad, that's all in the past. Okay, even if I was wrong before, that's okay? I did all the bad things, and your eldest son is a good man, okay? Dad, what's the point of talking about this now? What should our family do now?" Sheng Kai said.

"What can we do now?" Grandpa Sheng said to himself, "Our family can't make the same mistake again..."

"You all heard what the Third Brother said today. From now on, just follow his advice. Stay at home honestly and don't always think about taking advantage of others... If you really commit a crime, I won't plead for you..."

After Sheng Kai led his family out of the house, Sheng Nuo said to the old man, "Dad, I regret it. I regret it so much that my intestines are turning green..."

"The second son is just a scoundrel and a fool. It's hard to reason with a man like him. Our Sheng family has never produced such a person, and we don't know who he looks like... He is a man who will always follow his mother. When it comes to interests, he can turn his face and ignore people... A family like the Pang family is also because our family has offended a villain and we ran into them..."

"The death of Pang Fei and his son was not unjust." Grandpa Sheng raised his head and said, "Without him, the second son would not have gone astray, and our family would not have ended up like this..."

"You can't just marry a cheap wife, you have to be discerning. Our family fell into this trap..."

"Let's not talk about the distant past, let's just talk about the third brother's family. No wonder they can get to where they are today, they are upright... The third brother is really getting more and more promising..." said Mr. Sheng, "However, he and his wife don't have such insight, but the children in their family are all cunning..."

Now, the people in their old house have no confidence facing Sheng Xuan's family. When the family was divided, Sheng Xuan left the house with nothing. Later, he started from scratch and became an official... These are the results of his family's hard work, and have nothing to do with the old Sheng family... On the other hand, their family worked hard for decades to provide for Sheng Nuo, but what happened... Before Sheng Nuo became an official, he was not upright and squandered the family's money. He even planned to sell Xiao Lan to pay off the loan sharks... He ignored his own health and hid in the town to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks...

When these evil deeds were exposed one by one, Sheng Nuo no longer spoke with confidence and his back was no longer straight. Even if he wanted to protect his eldest son, he had no position and was no longer so righteous.

It was precisely because of his ambiguous position that the second brother took advantage of the opportunity, which led to a series of events in Hejian County.

Old Master Sheng sighed. He regretted it... But there is no regret medicine in the world. "No matter what, you can't write two Sheng characters with one stroke. The third brother's family is now in a better position, but he is still your brother, my son. This is a good thing for our Sheng family... There are some things that we can't rush into. We need to take a long-term view..."

Here, the old man was talking to Sheng Nuo in a private and heartfelt manner, while Xiao Lan's family returned home and sat together, drinking tea and chatting.

"I have said everything I should have said today, but I don't think it will have much effect." Sheng Xuan said, "The old man is now willing but unable to control the second son's family."

"Yes, the eldest family is doing well in the village, and they are all honest... The second family is jumping around in the village... The second branch doesn't listen to what the old man and the old lady say..." Zhang said.

"Our family doesn't care about these things. Anyway, we have already made it clear in advance. If anything really happens in the old house in the future, we will do as we said today." Xiao Wen said.

"Xiao Wen is right. We have made things clear today, and our grandfather has nodded in agreement. If something really happens over there in the future, without our grandfather's support, they won't be able to make trouble even if they want to..." Xiao Lan also said.

"The old man really holds the eldest son in his heart. It's been a long time since the incident with the eldest son. When we talked about restraining them today, the old man's face showed that he regretted that he didn't do things the way we did today..."

"That's exactly what happened. But in my opinion, even if Pang Fei's family hadn't gotten involved, and the second brother's family hadn't been making trouble, it would have been sooner or later that their family would have gotten into trouble." Xiao Wen said, "The fact that they ignored the law and had the audacity to sell out my second sister shows that they are not good people! People with such character can't do anything decent. Once they become officials and have great power, it will be easier for them to do bad things. Now that someone has a handle on them, it's only a matter of time before something happens to them."

This little episode in the old house did not leave any ripples in Xiaolan's family, because the next day was Xiaoting's wedding, and the family began to become busier and busier day by day.

Every day, someone came to add boxes to Xiaoting's dowry. The family naturally had to entertain them. Some families lived far away, so they naturally had to leave food for them. Recently, there were many relatives and friends who came to add boxes to Xiaolan's dowry. Xin, Fu and Liu, as Xiaoting's grandmother and aunt, were naturally the first to send boxes.

There were pairs of handkerchiefs, pillowcases, tablecloths, door curtains, window curtains, baggage wrappings, and quilt covers of different sizes, all made of the finest materials. There were also gold-plated bracelets, gold cloves, and colorful clothes tailored for Xiaoting. It was obvious that they had started preparing these things a long time ago.
