Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Mr. Sheng finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "You should also control your mouth and stop talking nonsense."

Cui didn't know what was good for her, so she said, "If they provoke me, then provoke me. I'm afraid of him. I don't eat his food or drink his drinks. Even if I die, I won't count on him. What can he do to me? I'm not afraid of him. The house and land in this family are mine. If they don't want to live here, then they can get out of here and starve to death!"

Old Master Sheng waved his hands irritably. It was useless to talk to this ignorant old woman no matter how much he talked to her.

Cui didn't argue with him, but just muttered, "I'm not as cowardly as you..."

"We have to call the third brother over tomorrow. With him here, the second brother's family will be more cautious..." Mr. Sheng said to himself, "The third brother's family..."

Cui took over what Grandpa Sheng said and continued, "The third brother's family all have good looks and are very slippery... The second brother's family is not good, but they always say whatever they want to say to each other face to face... Among the wives in the family, the third brother's family is the most pretentious, but behind the scenes, she is the worst. The third brother used to be such a good person, but now he is instigated by her..."

"The third brother doesn't even look at me straight in the eye now. If his family hadn't worried about what others would say, he probably wouldn't even know which way to open our door. Even though he always brings gifts when he comes back, he does it for outsiders to see how filial he is... These little things are nothing to his family, not even a hair on a cow, but they have earned a good reputation..."

Every time she talked about this, Cui couldn't stop, and she became more and more excited. Anyway, every time Sheng Xuan came to visit the old couple, after he left, Cui would mutter these words to the old man, the meaning was almost the same, anyway, the main idea was to vent her dissatisfaction with Sheng Xuan's family.

Old Master Sheng knew Cui's temper very well. After all, they had been an old couple living together for decades. He was too lazy to argue with Cui. If he really started arguing, Cui would probably talk for three days and three nights without stopping.

Mr. Sheng was obviously not in the mood to continue listening to Cui's nonsense today. "Okay, let's get down to business. I think we still need to ask someone to mediate tomorrow. If we just talk among our own family, I'm afraid the talks will break down again and we'll start fighting again. Just go and call Sheng Yugui and the third brother... prepare two more dishes tomorrow, otherwise it won't look good..."

"Just think about it." Cui never got involved in these serious matters. All the serious matters in the family were decided by Grandpa Sheng and resolved by him. Cui was interested in and made decisions about family affairs.

After finishing the business, Cui started to talk again, "The third son was not like this before. He was instigated by his wife. I don't know how she talked about me to the third son and his children behind his back. Now, the third son and his children are on the same side with her and are on her side!"

"She must have been very happy about Chunhua's matter. She didn't dare to show it on her face. Who knows how she laughed at me behind my back... When we came back, she even pretended to invite us to her house for dinner. Wasn't it just to show off to me that her family is now rich and powerful..."

The old man was worried about tomorrow's affairs. After hearing Cui's nonsense, he became impatient and said, "Don't dwell on these nonsense all day long. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"Just tell me, why do all the good kids go to the third brother's family... Why is there such a big gap among the grandchildren's generation... It would be great if they could be evenly distributed..."

The next day, Sheng Xuan finished his meal early and went to the ranch with a few servants from his family.

Xiao Lan was very supportive of Sheng Xuan's move to go out and hide away. If outsiders bullied the old Sheng family, it would be understandable for him to intervene. But this time it was a conflict between the second house and the Lanhua family, and it was his own family... Sheng Xuan was now very fed up with the people and things in the old house, but if he was at home, the old man would definitely send someone to invite him, and he would not be able to refuse at that time. Therefore, it was a good idea for him to go to the ranch to take a look this time. It was better than being used as a gun by others.

After seeing Sheng Xuan off, the three of them sat together and discussed what to eat for lunch.

"Mom, I want to eat fish..." Xiao Lan said.

"Okay," Zhang said, hearing her daughter wanted to eat fish, how could she not satisfy her? "The other day the fish pond was broken open and two big silver carp were caught. We haven't had time to eat them yet, so let's eat one today."

Xiaolan's family has a fish pond, so it is very convenient to eat fish. Even in winter, she can break the ice and catch one or two fish.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask the kitchen to make some fish balls. We'll have them with stewed vegetables for lunch." Zhang said with a smile.

As the mothers were talking, Liu came over with Xiao Ye. Zhang hastily asked them to sit on the kang and asked someone to bring them tea and fruit.

Then Xiao Ye told Sheng Hao about how he went to the town to look for orchids early this morning.

"Why didn't you come to my house first? I have a car at home..." Zhang said.

"It's okay. He is used to walking. Dozens of miles is nothing." Liu said.

"My dad said, it's just a small matter, it's not worth borrowing a car for this..." Xiao Ye also said.

"The child's fourth uncle is just too polite. Next time if there is something, don't be so polite... I know your family doesn't like to trouble others, but it depends on what the matter is. It's not like we don't have any ready-made things at home..."

Sheng Hao's family is unwilling to cause trouble to others, which is also the idea of ​​most farmers in this era.

Villagers living in the same village who are close to each other often exchange what they have. Sometimes one person gives a bunch of green onions, and the other gives a bunch of vegetables. This kind of thing is common. But when it comes to major family property, such as carts and cattle and horses, it is another matter. These things are extremely valuable in the eyes of farmers, and they are also extremely precious to their own family. Everyone understands that others will not easily ask to borrow these things unless they have no choice.

So Xiao Lan actually understood what Sheng Hao was thinking when he walked to town instead of coming to their house to borrow a car.
