Lie Lie Sheng

Next, both sides talked about their experiences over the years.

Needless to say, Duan Sheng's mother and son have only been tortured by the Zhao family these years, but fortunately they have broken off their relationship and made some money, otherwise the hard life would be worthless.

At that time, Liu Ji, the only son of the big Liu family in the town, relied on his family's wealth to force Yang to be his concubine. Liu Ji was in his early twenties, had a wife in his family, and had many concubines, and his natal family was also rich. It is impossible for Liu Ji to divorce his wife, but he really likes Yang's color, so he wanted to force Liang to be his concubine, so that Yang's father had no choice but to agree to the Duan family who happened to come to propose marriage at that time.

Although Yang's father was a scholar, when he met the domineering Liu family and the county magistrate who didn't want to cause trouble, his status as a scholar was useless. These days, there are poor scholars everywhere, and they have no strength to restrain them. There is a saying that the gate of the yamen opens to the south. Don't come in if you have a reason and no money. It is common no matter where you are.

What's hateful is that even though Mrs. Yang is married, the Liu family still doesn't let Father Yang go, causing someone to hurt Father Yang's leg, and delaying the time so that Father Yang's leg is lame, his face is damaged, and his body is disabled. After Yang's father's future was cut off, he had no choice but to set up a stall on the street to write letters to others, sell his own calligraphy and paintings, let alone make money by copying books for the study. It was rounded up by people.

In this way, Liu Ji often sent people to harass Yang's father, so that Yang's father couldn't even buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Moreover, because of Liu's relationship, no one dared to take care of his business. Just stay at home.

Yang Zonglin, Duan Sheng's little uncle, was already a boy, but his family was so poor that he had no rice to eat, and reading became a luxury, and because the Liu family couldn't find an easy job, he had to be a scholar at a young age. The body works hard for others, wandering around various shops to pull labor and work hard to carry goods!

The devastating blow came five years ago, when Yang Zonglin passed the examination for a scholar, a foreign merchant set up a trap for Yang Zonglin, who made him slip and break a porcelain vase when he was unloading. The three members of the Yang family didn't understand Yang Zonglin's compensation, and the Liu family contributed to the flames. In the end, Yang's father had to sell the house deed, and the land deed and all the belongings in the house were used for compensation, forcing the three of them to live on the street before giving up.

The mud embryo house I live in now is still the house of a widowed old man who Yang's father once helped. You can help him bury a monument, don't be that lonely ghost, the old man died within a year, Father Yang helped him deal with the funeral according to his last words.

After so many years, Yang's father's leg disease became more and more serious. In the past two years, he spent most of the time in bed, and he could only rely on the money earned by Zhang's embroidery and Yang Zonglin's daily carrying goods.

During Zhang's telling, Duan Sheng lowered his eyelids all the time, so no one saw the dark surge in his eyes. In the black mist, light flashed from time to time following Zhang's words.If he guessed right, the reason why my uncle was recruited five years ago should be the Liu family's handwriting, destroying the Yang family, no family money means no travel expenses, and he would not be able to participate in the rural examination.As for the next three-year provincial examination, my uncle must have missed it for some reason, because he was afraid of the rise of the Yang family?Then why wouldn't it be better not to cripple uncle like Grandpa?But no matter what the reason is, the Liu family will not let it go!

Because of his previous life, Duan Sheng is not good at communicating with people, and his feelings are not rich, but if he really cares, he is very protective, so this Liu family has been blacklisted by him.

Duan Sheng looked at the poor environment here, and thought that now that he had money in hand, it seemed that building a house was imperative, but Duan Sheng hesitated about where to build it, and finally decided to buy land and build a house in Dashan Village, mainly because Because of the big mountains in his Dashan Village, and it is much cheaper to buy land in the village, it would be good to take grandpa, grandma and uncle to live there.In addition, no matter whether it is rebuilding or buying ready-made ones in the town, it is not affordable for him now.

Duan Sheng didn't bother his mother and grandpa and grandma to talk about the family life. He asked where his uncle was working today. Duan Sheng decided to go and see. He heard that his uncle read well. Even now he has not given up. Grandpa is still teaching uncle. , so now that he is here, my uncle can continue to study with peace of mind, and then he will take another provincial examination next year, how can my uncle, who is still very young, give up.

Today my uncle was working in the grain store, and after asking all the way, he finally found his uncle Yang Zonglin who was unloading the goods. He wanted to ask Duan Sheng why he knew who uncle Yang Zonglin was among these people. Duan Sheng is very similar, not only in appearance, but also has a gentle temperament. Duan Sheng walked towards the handsome man who was struggling to carry the goods, but his temperament was still obviously different from others.

"uncle"

Yang Zonglin looked at the thin boy standing in front of him, "Why do you call me uncle?"

"Because you are my uncle."

Yang Zonglin listened to the words and carefully looked at the facial features of the boy in front of him. The more he looked, the more familiar he became.

To say that Duan Sheng is not like the thick eyebrows and round eyes of the old Duan family, nor the apricot eyes and soft brows of his grandpa, aunt and uncle, but very much like grandma Zhang's sharp eyebrows and peachy eyes, this is the so-called intergenerational image.

"You are my sister's child? It's called Sheng'er, isn't it?" Yang Zonglin finally remembered that this child's eyebrows and eyes resembled his mother's, and his mother's eyebrows were also like this. It's too harsh, but my mother never cared. His mother once proudly said that her ancestors used to be the family of generals, and everyone had a pair of sharp eyebrows.

"Yes, I am Sheng'er, and my mother is your sister, so you are my uncle. Uncle, go home, my mother is here too."

"But I haven't finished my work yet, you go back first, and then go back when uncle is done."

Duan Sheng pulled Yang Zonglin and left straight away, "Don't do it. Uncle won't have to do such menial work in the future. With my nephew here, I'll keep my uncle's hand and continue to make fuss. I'll be able to pass the exam next year."

Yang Zonglin was not surprised that his nephew had such great strength, he had no power to resist, the scholar uncle looked back at the helper who was whispering behind him, helpless, it seemed that the job could not be done, this boss is not a generous person, We must accuse him of being lazy and deprived of wages.

"Hey, you kid, what nonsense are you talking about? How can you live without doing it? Besides, it's not contradictory that uncle can do both work and fuss."

"Then recharge your energy and make better articles. My nephew is capable now, so my uncle can study with peace of mind."

Yang Zonglin looked at his nephew's shabby clothes. He remembered that his nephew was eleven years old now, but how could he be so thin? The atmosphere is harmonious and warm, adding a layer of warm color to the green willows on the ancient road.
