Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

Unfortunately, the Hu family's forbearance did not bring any improvement. Within a few days, even worse news came: Baicaotang, which was managed by the eldest daughter Hu Juan, was now in trouble.

Hu Juan's words were full of heaviness. "At first, only a few suppliers of medicinal materials were indifferent. Later, those old customers who had trusted Baicaotang for many years suddenly changed their doctors. It was only then that we realized the seriousness of the matter. My father-in-law took great pains to find out and found out that it was the Cheng family who spread rumors behind our backs, saying that there was something wrong with our medicines and advised people not to buy Baicaotang's medicines. Our doctors were also ostracized."

She bit her lower lip, her eyes burning with anger at the Cheng family's hypocrisy and rogue behavior.

It was the first time in her life that Hu Juan encountered such a sinister and cunning opponent. She was filled with shock and anger.

Although the Cheng family only committed verbal slander and did not violate the law, they were left with nowhere to turn for help. Hu Juan's eyes turned red with anger that could not be vented.

Hu Bin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, imagining that he could find the two evil heirs of the Cheng family in front of him and teach them a lesson.

Mr. Hu was heartbroken. Thinking about the double loss of his family and his daughter's marriage was like being pierced by thousands of arrows.

Mrs. Hu hugged her daughter, tears streaming down her face. Apart from offering powerless comfort, there was nothing else she could do. A heavy and depressing atmosphere filled the house.

The official position of the second master of the Cheng family is like a cloud above the sky. Compared with the position of a mere county magistrate, it is even more honorable.

Under the shadow of power, ordinary merchant families, without a strong background to lean on, can only be like duckweed in the wind and rain, at the mercy of such pressure, with no other options.

Just when she was feeling worried, Mrs. Hu's mind suddenly flashed through Zhang Laoer's enthusiastic invitation from several months ago, illuminating her current predicament.

She persuaded her son softly, "The shop is quiet right now. You must be feeling depressed staying here day after day. Why don't you take this opportunity to go to Zhangjia Village and look for some new and unique goods? Maybe it will bring a turnaround for our business. The second son invited you sincerely before, but you kept delaying. If we don't go, it will be too rude of us."

His mother's words, like the drumbeats at dusk, awakened the fog in Hu Bin's heart and made him suddenly realize that his promise to Zhang Laoer had not been fulfilled for a long time.

He took immediate action, begging his mother to help him prepare some apology gifts. At the same time, he called his personal servant Yu Xiaoqiang. The two hurriedly packed their luggage and set off for Zhangjia Village.

The horses' hooves broke the silence, raising dust along the way. They kept asking questions as they moved forward on the winding road. After many hardships, they finally found the simple thatched house hidden in the greenery at the foot of the majestic Daxiu Mountain.

The arrangements of fate are always full of accidents and coincidences. When Hu Bin looked at the thatched cottage from afar, he saw many villagers gathered in front of the door to watch the fun.

He couldn't wait to dismount and squeeze into the dense crowd. In an instant, a heart-wrenching cry penetrated the noise and hit his eardrums:

"God is blind! What sin have I committed to raise such a rebellious and unfilial son, who actually murdered his own brother and broke his leg bone. Zhang Laoer, if you don't give me an explanation and compensate for the loss today, I will risk my old face and go to the county government to seek justice!"

In the crowd, Mrs. Zhang's face was full of tears, she looked very touching and extremely helpless;

On the side, Boss Zhang, supported by his father and son, hugged his injured leg in pain and wailed continuously, looking very miserable.

Hu Bin was in the midst of chaos, and before he had time to sort out the reasons behind it all, his attention was attracted by the trembling fingers of Old Lady Zhang.

She was pointing at her benefactor Zhang Laoer, speaking harshly and blaming him, and the scene was in chaos.

Zhang Laoer frowned, and his face looked particularly heavy at this moment.

Xu Liyun's face was filled with worry, with two lines of tears hanging on her beautiful face, and her thin body was trembling slightly.

Their four children gathered around their parents, with their heads down and their little bodies curled up into a ball. Their eyes revealed a fear that was inconsistent with their age. Facing the accusations from the surrounding villagers, they didn't even dare to breathe.

The villagers who did not know the truth gathered under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village. The old lady's crying filled with grief and indignation was like a gust of wind, which quickly blew across this originally quiet little village.

In the crowd, several older people shook their heads, as if sighing at the ruthlessness of family disputes, while the young people showed more anger.

Especially Aunt Guo, who had always been resentful of Zhang Laoer's doting on his only daughter, and now she took the opportunity to make trouble.

She narrowed her eyes, with a hint of coldness on the corners of her mouth, "It's true that people's hearts are hidden. The second brother usually pretends to be honest and simple, but I didn't expect that he is so cruel in his bones. He is a brother, connected by blood, and has nephews and nieces to raise, but he can do this! How can Cuimei and Dabao hold their heads up in the future!"

As she spoke, she would point with her fingers from time to time, as if every word was a thorn piercing the hearts of Zhang Laoer and his wife.

Aunt Guo's words stirred up waves, and the villagers' eyes turned to Xu Liyun's family.

Zhang Siwa could sense the change in the atmosphere around him, and his anxiety turned into a force that forced him to step forward. "Listen up everyone, it was Uncle who sneaked into our house in the middle of the night with bad intentions and stole. How could Mom and Dad tell who was coming in the dark? It was purely in self-defense that they accidentally hurt Uncle. How can we simply blame him for this?"

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, her emotions instantly overflowed like a dam breaking.

"My life, why is it so unfortunate! My two biological sons are strangers to each other, and my grandson has also learned to make up lies to slander his grandmother. How can I bear this? This life is more bitter than coptis chinensis. It is better to end it all!"

Before she finished her words, she had already grabbed her eldest daughter-in-law's hand and staggered towards the wall. Her posture showed both despair and endless sorrow.

When Hu Cuimei saw this, her heart tightened and she quickly reached out and hugged her mother-in-law around the waist as quickly as possible.

"Mom, please don't do anything stupid! The eldest brother's legs are already in this state. If something happens to you, leaving us orphans and widows, how will we go on in this long life?"

Although Mrs. Zhang still refused to give in and complained again and again, "This life is really unbearable. My sons all have their own thoughts, and my grandson doesn't stand by me. What am I still struggling for?"

Everyone present could see that Mrs. Zhang's tragic performance was more intended to touch the heartstrings of her second son who never showed up.

But Aunt Guo didn't care about the occasion at all. She slapped her round thighs and shouted in a high-pitched voice that seemed to break through the sky: "Hey, second son, hurry up and hold your mother! As a son, you watched your mother die right before your eyes. Don't you feel any pain at all? And your poor eldest brother, isn't all this because of you?"
