Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

Chapter 31 Escape from the Sea of ​​Suffering

Although Zhang Quezi was also from their village and was a descendant of the same lineage, at that time he was already over 50 years old and no one would say anything if you introduced someone in his 3s or s. But Ke Xin was only a few years old at that time, in her prime, and there was a gap of three generations between them.

What's more, Zhang Kexin is Zhang Youheng's biological daughter. How could he push his own daughter into the fire like this? Everyone looked at Zhang Youheng angrily.

Zhang Yongheng's face also turned pale. He did not expect Ye Wenwu to tell this matter. After all, family disgrace should not be made public. At the beginning, he also believed his wife's words. After all, Zhang Quezi wanted to give a betrothal gift of 100 yuan, and his family really needed this 100 yuan.

However, after his biological daughter Zhang Kexin ran away, Zhang became lame and made a fuss, but his family had to pay a total of 150 yuan in compensation. In order to cover up the matter, they even added an additional 50 yuan in hush money, which made the situation even worse for the family, which was not well-off at the time. This is also the reason why he hated his daughter.

"Brother, it's been decades, and Ke Xin didn't marry Zhang Guizi, is there any need to be so angry?"

Faced with his brother's question, Zhang Youlong felt helpless. He had scolded and beaten his brother, but unfortunately he was just in such a dead state. What could he do?

"Dear elders, please listen to me. The reason why I know my parents' circle is also thanks to me, their grandparents."

"My elders, as the hosts of the village, you should know that someone from another village came to my grandparents' house yesterday. This person is the manager of the courtyard where I live now."

"As for why he came here, it was for the work quotas in the two factories I had and the 1000 yuan pension for my parents' sacrifice."

"My parents had just passed away and I was too sad. The factory didn't give me these things, but gave them to the manager of the courtyard house and told him to give them to me when I felt better. But when I asked for them, he refused."

"After all, our compensation is indeed eye-catching. The manager went to my grandparents' house to discuss with them, intending to extort my parents' pension and two work quotas. If it weren't for my two uncles who went there at the time, and if my uncles hadn't turned against us in the end, my parents' pension and work quotas might not have been in my hands. This is why I want to sever ties with my grandparents, whom I have never met. I also ask the elders to be witnesses."

Hearing this excuse, everyone stared at Zhang Youheng in disbelief. They had always thought that Zhang Youheng was just dissatisfied, but they didn't expect him to be so inhumane. You have to know that Ye Wenwu had just passed away and had no job, let alone parents to take care of him. How could he, as a grandparent, do such a thing?

"Ugh!"

Zhang Yourong sighed heavily. If it was someone he didn't have a good relationship with, he would have expelled him from the village no matter what. But this person was his own brother, and he really could do nothing about it.

He didn't want to say anything to his younger brother. The family had been divided anyway, so they could live on their own. As for his two nephews, he could still invite them to have dinner together.

Seeing that Zhang Yourong did not blame anyone, everyone silently swallowed what they wanted to say, and Secretary Chen also patted Zhang Yourong on the shoulder.

"Wenwu, you are a good boy. It's a pity that you are so rich and young. Let our village bear witness that Zhang Youheng's family has nothing to do with your Ye family. Instead, they owe your family something. If he dares to bring people to blackmail you, come back and tell me, your uncle. I will bring the villagers to tie him up and hang him at the village gate for two days and one or two nights."

Ye Wenwu nodded silently. He knew that this result was the best. Although they had a falling out in the end, there was no fight.

As the village committee members left, grandpa Zhang Youheng and grandma Liu Xiaocui walked back into the house and locked the door.

Uncle Zhang Liming no longer had any arrogance. He had already begun to imagine how hard his life would be in the future. Without the help of his elder brother and his second brother, plus he had to support these two old guys, he was extremely unwilling in his heart. However, the parents were still in the care of the two old guys, so he could only act like a grandson.

"Wenwu, thank you for today. When your cousins ​​come back in the evening, we'll get together and introduce them to you."

Uncle Zhang Liguo did not expect that things would go so smoothly today. The matter was resolved without much trouble at all, and the heavy stone in his heart was lifted off his shoulders.

"Uncle, it's good that you didn't blame me for bringing up my parents later."

Ye Wenwu waved his hands quickly. He just talked a lot and was of no help at all throughout the whole process. He even distanced himself from the matter at the last moment.

"Okay, Wenwu, you have saved us two brothers from suffering. We have to have a few drinks tonight. Then, ask your cousins ​​to take you to the mountains tomorrow."

Then Zhang Lijuan patted Ye Wenwu on the shoulder and said with a smile, if it was just to help big brother Zhang Liguo get rid of the burden, it would really be a relief for him.

Although the two of them had no future prospects, the points for their work would belong to them and they could distribute them by themselves. The thought of this made them more motivated to work, and their depressed will was reduced a bit.

"Uncle, second uncle, and aunt, let's go in first. I have something to tell you."

After everyone was seated on the chairs, Ye Wenwu took out the 600 yuan he had prepared from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"My uncle and I have two uncles. These are my parents' pensions. They are also the 1000 yuan compensation given to me by the factory. I put 600 yuan here."

"Wenwu, what do you mean by this? Could it be that your eldest and second uncles are just after your money?"

Uncle Zhang Liguo said angrily, isn't this just like his own father?

"Uncle, that's not what I meant. It's just that you just separated from your family. Are your aunt and cousins ​​going to sleep on the street with you? Although the village has vacated some places for you, won't the villagers gossip if you sit there for a long time? Anyway, the house will be built sooner or later. You can return my money when you earn enough money."

Ye Wenwu also hurriedly explained that although he liked to be alone, having relatives did not affect this.
