The silence speaks

Sealing the knife is a very old saying. Even the old man has used swords and guns before. Now that he is old, people on the road heard the news that even the old man wanted to seal the knife.Some were watching from the other side, some were trying to obstruct it, some were applauding. Lian Si didn't give Mr. Lian time to react. The news was sent out immediately, but it was really inappropriate to seal the knife at Chen Wusheng's ceremony. The rain in a lifetime, in the end, is no match for a younger generation, which is always ridiculed.After Lian Si's anger subsided, he couldn't do such a thing, so in the end, the old man's knife sealing ceremony was scheduled for the day before Chen Wusheng's ceremony.When Old Man Lian heard this, he just let out a long sigh, then took off the wrench from his hand, and sent someone to give it to Lian Si.

Lian Si carefully massaged Chen Wusheng's feet soaked in hot water again. Chen Wusheng lost his youth, and for him, he always lacked a lot.I thought that I would never have the chance to hug Chen Wusheng again, but I didn't expect Lian Si's wish to be fulfilled by accident.After Chen Wusheng resisted several times to no avail, he could only let Lian Si wash his feet. This feeling was quite novel, but he still could not compromise on the matter of genealogy. Thinking of this, he felt a little sorry for his father, and could only embarrass head down.

After drying his hands, Lian Si put medicine on Chen Wusheng's body again. The wounds from the old man's rattan stick were all bruised and swollen, with ribs lying across his back, dividing Chen Wusheng's back into several small pieces. He had never seen a more serious injury, but Lian Si still couldn't help feeling distressed when he saw Chen Wusheng's injury.I kept blaming myself in my heart, knowing that he was a stubborn old man, how could I give my afternoon birth to him alone?I kept scolding myself in my heart for not protecting Wusheng well, and it was time and time again.

Sensing the low air pressure from Lian Si, Chen Wusheng still decided to say something to ease Lian Si's mood, "Dad, it's actually not that serious, and it doesn't hurt too much, really..."

Hearing Chen Wusheng's comforting words, Lian Si pressed the cotton swab on Chen Wusheng's wound with a little more force, "Does it hurt?"

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah..." Chen Wusheng staggered to get out of Lian Si's clutches.

It had been more than an hour since the medicine was finished, Chen Wusheng was lying on the sofa, and decided to talk to Lian Si again about his thoughts, "Dad, I..."

"I know, you don't want to be like a family tree." Lian Si didn't listen to him finish, "Wu Sheng, you can be surnamed Chen in this life, Dad promises you, but you can only enter the Lian family ancestral hall after you die." Lian Si changed In the past, the uninhibited appearance of throwing his hands away from the shopkeeper in a chic way, made people not have the courage to refute what he said.

After a long silence, Chen Wusheng didn't speak. Lian Si knew that he was thinking, so he let him go, waiting for Chen Wusheng to speak again.

"Yes, but I have one condition." Chen Wusheng struggled to get up, and knelt in front of Lian Si. Lian Si did not stop him, and let Chen Wusheng kneel, "My eldest son must be named Chen." Chen Wusheng knew that the Lian family was not him. What can be shaken is that being a child of the Lian family is his blessing and also his catastrophe. He can only be a member of the Lian family when he goes to the underworld. This cannot be changed, but the Chen family has raised him for nearly 20 years. do something.

This is Chen Wusheng's concession. When Lian Si heard what Chen Wusheng said, he laughed instead. It's a pity that someone like Chen Wusheng didn't negotiate. Even if such a condition can be figured out, he doesn't know if this cleverness is just going to go. Who, "If your brother A Cheng dares to be as rude as you, I will break his leg."

As soon as the words fell, Liancheng's unconvinced voice came, "Dad, what did you do to my leg and you want to break it again..." Liancheng, who walked in while wiping his sweat, saw Chen Wusheng kneeling on the ground, and was so frightened that he couldn't say anything. Quickly retracted, "This is?"

Lian Si didn't intend to explain, but just waved Chen Wusheng up, "It's really no parent who can fight their children."

Knowing that this meant a promise, Chen Wusheng immediately regained his spirits, kissing and hugging Lian Si, Lian Si was so worn out that he lost his temper, so he pretended to be serious and said, "Drool, it's all rubbed against me. face."

"Ah Cheng, take Wusheng to apologize to grandpa." Lian Si ordered after seeing that Chen Wusheng was almost rested.

After Liancheng knew the whole story, although he was also very angry, as the grandson of his grandfather, he couldn't do anything. Sometimes, Liancheng also felt that he was very useless and couldn't protect the people he wanted to protect. He didn't know until Chen Wusheng was injured when he was injured, and it's the same here. On the way to the old man, Liancheng suddenly understood who the real ruler of this family is.Not only did Lian Si arrange his own people to protect Chen Wusheng, Liancheng also sent people, but he didn't know what happened until Liancheng returned to the room and saw Chen Wusheng, which meant that his people didn't know anything at all, or they knew but was stopped.The cold sweat on Liancheng's back broke out one after another, and Lian Si's words echoed in his ears from time to time before leaving, "Ah Cheng, when shooting, you must not only look at the target, but also pay attention to the ambushes around you."

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, Wusheng is being rude today, so don't be angry with me." Chen Wusheng looked at the old man who was sitting on a chair playing chess with him.

The old man coughed twice after falling down again, "Wu Sheng, come here."

Chen Wusheng took two steps forward and stood closer to the old man. The old man put his hands that were like dry branches on Chen Wusheng's cheeks, "Wusheng, grandpa is old, forget it when you come back, my wish , As for the genealogy, you and your father should come to a conclusion."

When Lian Si said "rectify the family law", the old man knew in his heart that Lian Si was going to do something, but after living for so many years, the old man has experienced everything, but the trigger is Chen Wusheng, which is a bit out of his reach Unexpectedly, I thought that Lian Si had already let go, and never thought that the child she left would have such a great influence on him.

"Grandpa, I..." Chen Wusheng looked ashamed. The old man beat him up and he didn't have any complaints in his heart. For such a family, Chen Wusheng knew how important things like genealogy are. After all, I feel a little sorry for this old man whose body is half buried in the soil.

The old man just waved his hand, "Go on, I'm tired."

The old man's knife-sealing ceremony was very sensational. All the famous people on the road came, washed away all their charms, and the world was full of ups and downs. On the face of the old man, he had a peaceful face and accepted everything Lian Si arranged for him, including Chen Wusheng After the ancestor recognition ceremony, he went to Nancheng to recuperate.The staff of the Lian family underwent a big change in just one night. Lian Si received all the people who came to the ceremony, and selected some of them for the old man to meet.Setting the old man's ceremony on the day before Chen Wusheng's ancestral recognition ceremony seemed fine to outsiders. After all, the old man's seniority was there, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that the main event was not the old man at all, but paving the way for Chen Wusheng.When the time comes, even the old man will make a wedding dress for Chen Wusheng, who would dare to ignore the young master of the Lian family?

"Brother, I..." Liancheng's eyes were dull, and the dark circles under his eyes were serious. It looked like he hadn't had a good rest in the past two days. He stood in front of Shen Duou many times and spoke incoherently, but never before, he was so helpless like this time.

Shen Duou put his fingers up like an inverted pyramid and placed them on the desk. His posture of strategizing and winning thousands of miles was the same as before, but today Shen Duou seemed to have a little more helplessness in his eyes. After all, it came, the last thing he wanted to face.

"What's your idea?" Shen Duou's thin lips parted slightly, his face was calm and breezy.

Liancheng thought for a while before slowly saying, "I don't know, it's just that Wusheng and I must have someone go back, either me or him."

After saying this sentence, Liancheng didn't speak anymore, and pressed his lips tightly together, making his bloodless lips even whiter.

Shen Duou is not satisfied with this answer, now is not the era of running around, no matter how big the family business is, in Shen Duou's view, it is not as important as his own happiness. He chose to give up all that at the beginning, but now he naturally doesn't want to. His younger brother to carry a life they didn't want.

Xu felt that he had let down Shen Duou's teachings over the years, and Liancheng said sorry again, but Shen Duou didn't let him finish, and interrupted directly, "You are not sorry for me, after all, it is your life, your No matter what the choice is, I respect you and stand by your side unconditionally, but you have to remember that the so-called 'sacrifice' you made today is just your wishful thinking. Since you have chosen this path, then No matter how many difficulties and obstacles you will encounter on the road in the future, it will all be caused by your mistake today, and you cannot blame others."

Liancheng's face turned pale in an instant. He didn't expect Shen Duou to say that about him. He came here today only to hope that his brother could give advice. Like every time before, when he was most confused and directionless, he would help him. Help him, but Shen Duou's words startled him, and even made him feel cold.

After a while, Liancheng broke the penetrating silence, "Yes, Liancheng knows, so I won't bother brother."

After saying this sentence, it seemed that all of Liancheng's energy had been exhausted, and the back was so thin when he turned around. When did it start? Shen Duou kept asking in his heart as he looked at Liancheng's resolutely lonely but tall and straight spine. I no longer pay too much attention to Liancheng. I used to ask Liancheng to report to me every week. If I did well, I would take him to eat his favorite Japanese food. To mention one or two points, but Liancheng hasn't come to report work for a long time, and hasn't eaten with him for a long time, and he has become so thin that his cheekbones on both sides are raised, and he hasn't noticed it yet.

It turned out that Chen Wusheng had taken up so much weight before he knew it, but these weights were removed by Liancheng without complaint, and Shen Duou never noticed.

If you have never owned it, you will only look forward to it, but if you already belong to yourself, but you are taken away, isn't this even more cruel?

Shen Du'ou didn't call him, because he ignored it before, but now he has no way to make up for it, even more decisively than before, because Liancheng is about to hold in his hands the whole family, is All the intertwined forces have to face the situation that seems to be calm, but in fact it is turbulent. If they are still attached to themselves, then Liancheng will only be destroyed forever.

When he returned to the old house, Liancheng was completely different from the man who was in the villa before. The aura exuding from his body was fierce and inviolable. In the past, he just didn't want to show his fierce side. It can even be suppressed, but now, there is no need.

"Father." Lian Cheng came to see Lian Si in a hurry before he even had time to change his clothes after entering the door. Lian Si seemed to have been a hands-off shopkeeper for many years, but in fact everything was under his control, so it wasn't too difficult to deal with. .

Looking up from the mountain of documents, Lian Si did not show a warm smile at Liancheng as before, but raised his eyebrows, "When?"

Lian Si was a little disappointed. He never asked Lian Cheng to do this. He even subconsciously hoped that Lian Cheng would not do this. He only hoped that Lian Cheng and Chen Wusheng could live a peaceful life. They didn't need to know about these troubles, but it seemed that Lian Cheng had already done so. Made a decision.

Lian Si didn't think Lian Si's question was abrupt at all. Lian Cheng already knew that he would not hide anything from Lian Si. Fortunately, he didn't have to hide anything from him. "Let's wait until the midday assessment is over, at the end of the year."

Nodding his head, he understood Liancheng's decision, and Lian Si waved his hand to let Liancheng go out.

Liancheng saw Chen Wusheng as soon as he went out, and Chen Wusheng didn't look very well.

"Why did you fire him without even asking?" Chen Wu asked Liancheng angrily. A gardener cut a rose in the garden, and Liancheng fired him.

It stands to reason that the gardener would have no chance to talk to Chen Wusheng, but looking at Chen Wusheng's appearance now, he seemed to be complaining about the gardener.

The response to Chen Wusheng was a slap, a slap on the face, hard.

Dazed by this sudden slap, Chen Wusheng was stunned to the side, unable to respond for a while, and even forgot to reach out to touch his swollen cheek.

The servants on the side had already bowed their heads and left. Now the whole family is in turmoil. No one knows how long their jobs will be guaranteed. It's better not to know what they shouldn't know.

After the last servant withdrew from sight, Liancheng's hoarse but unignorable voice sounded, "What rules?"

As if recalling Liancheng's warning when he first returned to the old house, Chen Wusheng lowered his head, enduring the burning pain on his face, "I'm sorry, brother, I know I was wrong."

"Now that I know I'm wrong, I'll kneel in the ancestral hall for an hour, and then I can talk back." Liancheng brushed Chen Wusheng's shoulder and went back to the room.

Chen Wusheng replied "Yes."
