The villagers all looked at Da Wang in disbelief, is she crazy or something, dare to say such a thing?
Or was she so cruel to her own grandson that she wanted to kill her, that's why she uttered such crazy words?
Thinking about the behavior of Xingda and his wife and Xu Bei's behavior, everyone felt that Da Wang's eyes were blurred, so they couldn't see clearly and pushed people all the way out.If you understand in your heart, just coax boy Bei back, he will be the envied old lady in the future, and she will enjoy endless blessings.
Li Zheng and his grandfather were so angry that they almost fell down. Li Zheng stretched out his hand, pointed tremblingly at Da Wang and Xu Yaozong, who was also panicking in his heart, and angrily scolded: "Ignorant fool, shut up! Yaozong, your grandma is missing you!" It's crazy to say such outrageous words, why don't you take her back quickly and let the doctor take a good look at it."
Seeing the cold eyes shot by the two officials, Xu Yaozong was shocked, and he clearly realized that if his grandmother kept messing around, it would be hard to say whether the whole family could stay in the village any longer, and all this was just because of the past. Brought by his cousin Xu Bei who he despises, when did he become so smart, just a simple sentence aroused the anger of the official, although the eyes were still smiling, but there was a cold chill inside, this man , is no longer a fool who can let them bully but keeps silent because of family affection and filial piety.
Originally, he wanted to rely on his grandmother to control this cousin with filial piety, but he didn't expect his grandmother to be so domineering that she would say something that offended people regardless of the occasion. Unaware of the situation in front of him, Xu Yaozong didn't care about his grandmother's grievances, quickly covered her mouth and dragged her back, apologizing repeatedly: "Grandma has been overworked recently and people are a little confused, I will take grandma back."
Da Wang's family was struggling desperately, but how old was she, how could she compare to the young guy who was full of firepower? With a whining sound in her mouth, she didn't want to leave. She hadn't gotten 40 taels of silver, and she hadn't let Xu The unfilial grandson of Bei knelt down and kowtowed to her to admit her mistake. How could she leave? The angry Da Wang opened his mouth and bit Xu Yaozong's tiger's mouth. Swallowing the cry, he lowered his voice to coax Mrs. Wang, coax her back first, and then she must not let her go out until she calms down.
Seeing that the grandfather and grandson had finally left, Lizheng heaved a sigh of relief, and turned his head to look at Xu Bei expectantly, hoping that Xu Bei would help to say a few good words to appease the officials. He was angered by officials and even the county magistrate above.
Xu Bei nodded, reassuring Lizheng and Grandpa, and then started chatting and laughing with the two officials while following Lizheng to his house.
The officials didn’t really get angry. Xu Bei said what he said before. The situation of the two trips and the separation documents they saw before made them very clear about Xu Bei’s original situation. The reason for going out can also be guessed. At that time, even the servants like them had to obey the orders from above, and suppressed the people below to keep them from getting ahead. Those people were murderers without blinking an eye.So before the Xu family drove the Xu Bei brothers out in order not to hurt the whole family, it was not a heinous thing. In the end, it was just a little selfish, but it would be disgusting to try to pick it up after the benefits later. .
If you want to drive people out, you should drive them out completely. Don’t expect any benefits. You can still be admired, but what is it now? As his own grandson, it is estimated that even if there was no such thing as the murderer, the fate of the two brothers would not be much better than before. That incident was just an excuse for them.
Xu Minqing walked quietly beside his eldest brother, and when someone came over, he would smile obediently at them, and call out if he knew him, only he knew how cold his eyes were when he looked at the direction where Da Wang and Xu Yaozong left, no, not only these two People, there is another figure who quietly ran away before approaching here. He did not forget the memories of more than ten years of life so quickly. That figure is very familiar. Mrs. Wang, this time she was so smart that she didn't show up when the situation was not good.
How could it be so easy to let them go?He didn't forget how they treated his elder brother ruthlessly. He was so sick that he couldn't get up. Not only did they refuse to see a doctor, but they even drove him out. Killed by them.
Xu Minqing's hatred for the Xu family was only noticed by Jiang Ping. Seeing Xu Bei's heartbroken smile, he sighed inwardly. This brother raised a wolf cub instead. Fortunately, this wolf cub was very protective of Xu Bei. Anyone with eyes can see that, presumably, he was bullied badly before.
Several people from Xu Bei and two officials were surrounded by Lizheng's house. After he and Xu Minqing left, the house under their name was even more dilapidated. There was no place for people to live there. Lizheng's wife had already heard the news and was busy at home. Yes, as soon as the people came back, they poured hot tea and entertained the guests with snacks prepared for the New Year.
The adults are still a little cautious, but the children are the happiest. It is rare to have the opportunity to see tall horses. In the past, it was rare to see them in the town and they could not get close to them, because the adults would tell them that they are not something they can offend. Now they finally have the opportunity to even meet the adults. Can't help it, a group of children are still comparing the types of snacks they get with each other. If they get the types that others don't get, there will be cheers and cheers. They can't even eat these rare things during the Chinese New Year.
"Boy Bei," Li Zheng came out of the back room, holding a small package carefully wrapped in a handkerchief in his hand, and put it in front of Xu Bei, "This is the money sent by the official sent a few days ago, a total of 40 Two, luckily I kept it, otherwise I would be really sorry for you and Xingda."
Li Zheng was filled with emotion, the grandfather was also speechless, he was addicted to cigarettes, but the times were bad and he couldn't even smoke dry tobacco. Who would have thought that Xingda and his wife would die just by visiting their relatives , couldn't even keep their heads, leaving the two children alone and helpless. If the nephew and niece and daughter-in-law are still there, it's time to give the boy Bei a wife.
Xu Bei didn't refuse at all, took the veil and opened it, and there were four neatly arranged silver pegs. He wrapped it up again, and raised his head with a grateful smile: "Thank you, Li Zheng, and Grandpa, I understand. .”
Mrs. Lizheng wiped away her tears, and said: "I just said that Boy Bei is a sensible person." She is thinking about other people's good, knowing that it is not easy for them to keep the money these days, "It's not like that family. Why is it so dark?"
Xu Bei handed over the silver to Xu Minqing, turned his head and comforted him, "I believe that for my parents, it's enough for me and Minqing to live well. That family is separated anyway. In their hearts, I'm just unfilial. Yes, Minqing is not regarded by them as Xu's family, so I won't bother them, let's live our own lives," Xu Bei cleared up the relationship between the two parties as soon as he opened his mouth, and claimed that they were the first to disagree. If you recognize Minqing, then it makes sense for him to stop Minqing from going to Xu's house, "It's just that I'm going to work with the fourth son in the future, and I'm afraid it won't be as convenient as before when I come back. My parents still need Laurie and Grandpa to take care of them." Be careful, others, Min Qing and I are not at ease."
What else can Li Zheng and Grandpa say, after Xu Bei was promoted, they were still worried that Xu Bei would be offended by the big house of the Xu family, which would make him feel alienated from Shangpo Village. The reason is not taken care of, and the other villages are not allowed to laugh at it. Thinking that the elders in their village did not use their strength when they separated the Xu family, they were even worried that the matter of Xingda and his wife would affect the village. With eyes closed, the fate of the Xu Bei brothers was not the result of their secret connivance, and he felt ashamed, so Lizheng has been biting the money for the past few days and has not let go of the Xu family. No one can say that he is wrong, after all, she is Xingda's own mother.
Now I was relieved to hear Xu Bei's words. Since Boy Bei entrusted them with taking care of his parents' grave, he still remembers them. As long as they don't go on business, the Xu Bei brothers will not deny them.With Xu Bei as an official, even if others are not in the village, in the future, other villages and the officials above will give way and take more care of Shangpo Village.
As the old saying goes, there are people in the court who are easy to handle.
"Don't worry, your father was also raised by us, and we will never lose them. If your brothers can't come back when the time comes, we will burn some paper money for Xingda and his wife." Li Zheng promised, I also know that the Xu Bei brothers are worried about the big house, didn't he say that after the funeral of Xingda and his wife, who in that family went to the cemetery to see it?It was Xu Laohan who was thinking about going to the grave to look at it and help clean it up.
"Yeah, boy Bei, boy Qing, you just need to rest assured and do your job well outside. There is still grandpa here, and the children are also nephews of Xingda and the others. Don't be afraid that Xingda and the others will have no money underground." Grandpa also said.
"Okay, I listened to grandpa. By the way, I bought some tobacco leaves for grandpa when I came back. Grandpa heard that it was good." As Xu Bei said, he greeted Lao Qiu and the others who came from the carriage. The gifts from each family moved down, and they were taken aback when they saw how many people were in those things. They immediately asked their mother-in-law to prepare meals in the kitchen, and the grandma hurriedly called her daughter-in-law to help.
Xu Bei knew that grandpa and Lizheng like to smoke a few puffs of dry tobacco at ordinary times, so when preparing for the annual ceremony, he specially asked the knowledgeable people what kind of tobacco leaves are good, and they are neatly cut. Grandpa picked up a pinch with two fingers and put it under his nose to sniff carefully, his face showed intoxication: "Okay, okay, this is the best shredded tobacco."
There is also a small box in Lizheng. I didn't expect Boy Bei to remember this hobby of his, and he was very moved.
Grandma scolded Xu Bei when she saw it. It's rare that this year's bad weather makes the old man smoke less. Old man, remember to smoke less, it will be worth more than what you smoked before, don't smoke endlessly all day long."
"Hey, I'll save some." Of course, the grandpa of the good stuff is reluctant to finish it all at once. The trickle is, the second child dies early, otherwise he can show off in front of the second child. He is his nephew Xiaojing For him, but the other old guys in the village must be envious.
The surrounding villagers all left contentedly. Even though Xu Bei, who was far away from him, didn't prepare a New Year's gift, he brought snacks for the children when he returned, and the children were also happy.
On the way back this time, someone started talking about it: "I really didn't expect that boy Bei would become so promising. In the past, Xingda and his wife were honest, but I heard Xu's second family talking about her eldest grandson outside all day. How can they be promising, but look at those who can't lift their hands and shoulders and can't pick them up, they are being spoiled. Besides, there are a few in the school in the town who can read well, let alone those who are directly assigned to officials like Boy Bei. It was sent by the Four Young Masters."
In the minds of ordinary people in the Northland, the fourth son is like the princes and nobles in the capital. Ordinary people can't even see him, but Xu Bei can work with the fourth son, which is equivalent to the emperor's close minister. It's just luck, not just anyone can have this luck, and others can't be jealous.
"No, I don't think that kid Yaozong looks promising. When it comes to studying, he can't compare to kid Qing, that's what he is," the man gave a thumbs up. He is well-known in the countryside for his cleverness, and he is sensible and well-behaved, "But Yaozong didn't learn anything else, but he learned a lot of bad things from his grandma, and said some bad things in the school, making Qing The boy was kicked out of the school by the master. By the way, did you hear before, how is the boy Qing now? It's a pity that such a smart child doesn't study."
"Don't worry, boy Bei is already an official, boy Qing still has no books to read? Didn't you see boy Qing standing next to his brother in a gentle manner, like a young master from a rich family, maybe he was given by his brother I went to study in the big academy over there in Yanzhou, alas, the future of the two brothers will be great after this."
"That's right, that's right, alas, Xingda and his daughter-in-law are unlucky, but at last they have a good fortune, because they are kind-hearted. If someone else is willing to send their adopted child to school, their own child will follow him instead." Work in the field."
"That's right, both of those couples are good, look at the fate of that family's bad-hearted family, this person, you still have to be careful, God is watching..."
The sound got farther and farther away, and Xu Xingwang, who came out from behind the haystack, had a cloudy face, spat hard, turned around and hurried home.
Lizheng's house was lively and lively, but the big house of Xu's family was full of gunpowder smell. Xu Xingwang's return seemed to ignite the gunpowder smell, and it suddenly broke out again.
"Mother, that brat is obviously from the Xu family, and he ran to someone else's house without leaving home after he came back. What kind of words, mother, you old man, you don't talk about him well, just like his old man, he keeps getting close to outsiders all day long." Xu Xingwang was furious, and listened to what outsiders said, his nephew became a high-ranking official on a errand with the fourth son, and his uncle knew about it from other people, it is unreasonable.
Mrs. Wang sat on the kang with a sullen face, poohed on the ground and cursed: "Do you think I don't want to say it? That dead boy is urging outsiders not to give my mother face. If my mother didn't give birth to that evil son, he would have died. What a happy life for the kid? I didn’t expect to be a traitor in the end, and he didn’t even recognize my own grandma!”
The big Wang's talking became more and more angry, and he was fanned by the little Wang for a while before, and Xu Guihua added fuel and jealousy, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law stood on the same line again because of Yinzi and Xu Bei's return to get promoted and get rich, and their guns were aligned To Xu Bei, let's talk about the benefits first.
Da Wang slapped the kang table loudly: "Where is Yaozong? Call Yaozong here, I don't believe that an official will lose his reputation, just because the one who kills a thousand knives dares to disrespect my own grandma, his official You can still do it, Yaozong—" He opened his throat and shouted outside, but he was very angry.
She was still a little angry when she was pulled back by her eldest grandson before, but she was better than that unfilial person compared to her eldest grandson, and her anger has long since dissipated. She remembered that her eldest grandson said that the most important thing to be an official is reputation, even the old emperor in the capital is like this.
Xu Yaozong walked in slowly, looking sullen, raised his brows and asked, "Grandma, what's the matter?" The look in his eyes made him feel angry, but they were just running errands, and those people who passed the exam were nothing, they were just people who would never succeed in their lives.
I moved my fingers, but the tiger's mouth still hurt.
At this time, he had forgotten where the money he got into school came from. When he habitually reached out to these people for money, why didn't he feel that they were holding back?
"Grand grandson, didn't you say that officials pay more attention to reputation? You said that the one who killed a thousand swords did not recognize me as my own grandmother, dared to contradict the elders, and gave things to outsiders instead of sending them home," Yue said. Said that the blood was dripping from her heart, the second son was a piece of flesh that fell from her body, naturally everything belonged to her, especially the son's son, so she regarded Xu Bei's wealth as her own, thinking of that bastard who was lavish I was really angry and anxious to send things to outsiders, "Tell me, what is his name..." What is the name of Wen Zouzou's rhetoric.
"It's called disobedience and unfilial piety," Xu Yaozong's eyes lit up, yes, how could such a disobedient and unfilial person be favored by the Fourth Young Master, he must have been fooled, how could the Fourth Young Master know what's going on in the village when he is far away in Yanzhou , isn't it because Xu Bei listens to the Fourth Young Master as he says, if the Fourth Young Master knows the real situation, how can he tolerate such a person?However, his eyes quickly darkened again, "Grandma, don't you see that my cousin is going to gather people from the village, who still takes our family seriously, let alone tell his disrespect to grandma. "
Xu Guihua's eyes also brightened, and she murmured in her mother's ear: "Mother, let's ask the eldest brother to find Bei boy, and let him come back to honor mother, you old man, if he dares to be disobedient, we will go to the county to go to the city Go to the palace to sue him, and see if he still dares to disobey mother." She also felt that what mother said to Yaozong was reasonable, and looking at Kid Qing, he was kicked out by Yaozong's few words. In school, she felt that what Xu Beizhan was dealing with was that outsiders didn't know about it.
Hmph, if you dare to be disobedient, you will lose his official position!Xu Guihua thought of the fall she had suffered in Xu Bei's hands last time, and wished she could bite off a piece of his flesh. She, Xu Guihua, had never suffered such a big loss since she was a child.
"Yaozong, is it really useful?" Xu Xingwang also lifted his spirits and looked at his son expectantly. He was very jealous when he saw the snacks in the hands of those people on the road. To be able to continue his studies, he had to cut back on food and clothing, and he hadn't smelled meat for a long time.
Xu Yaozong raised his chin arrogantly: "Of course it is useful, we should talk about my cousin, how can you be so disregarding your reputation when you are doing business for the Fourth Young Master, this is discrediting the Fourth Young Master!"
"Yes, yes..." Xu Xingwang shook his head repeatedly and walked out, "Mother, you wait at home, I will go find my nephew." As for Xu Minqing, he is just an outsider, and he will call his nephew back , He has to drive this outsider away, why let an outsider get the benefits of the Xu family.
Xiao Wang also felt better, and said with a beaming smile, "Mother, my daughter-in-law is going to cook for your old man. I got two eggs this morning, and my daughter-in-law cooked them for you."
Xu Guihua curled her lips secretly, her sister-in-law is only good at superficiality, hmph, her mother will still listen to her daughter in the end.
Or was she so cruel to her own grandson that she wanted to kill her, that's why she uttered such crazy words?
Thinking about the behavior of Xingda and his wife and Xu Bei's behavior, everyone felt that Da Wang's eyes were blurred, so they couldn't see clearly and pushed people all the way out.If you understand in your heart, just coax boy Bei back, he will be the envied old lady in the future, and she will enjoy endless blessings.
Li Zheng and his grandfather were so angry that they almost fell down. Li Zheng stretched out his hand, pointed tremblingly at Da Wang and Xu Yaozong, who was also panicking in his heart, and angrily scolded: "Ignorant fool, shut up! Yaozong, your grandma is missing you!" It's crazy to say such outrageous words, why don't you take her back quickly and let the doctor take a good look at it."

Da Wang's family was struggling desperately, but how old was she, how could she compare to the young guy who was full of firepower? With a whining sound in her mouth, she didn't want to leave. She hadn't gotten 40 taels of silver, and she hadn't let Xu The unfilial grandson of Bei knelt down and kowtowed to her to admit her mistake. How could she leave? The angry Da Wang opened his mouth and bit Xu Yaozong's tiger's mouth. Swallowing the cry, he lowered his voice to coax Mrs. Wang, coax her back first, and then she must not let her go out until she calms down.
Seeing that the grandfather and grandson had finally left, Lizheng heaved a sigh of relief, and turned his head to look at Xu Bei expectantly, hoping that Xu Bei would help to say a few good words to appease the officials. He was angered by officials and even the county magistrate above.

How could it be so easy to let them go?He didn't forget how they treated his elder brother ruthlessly. He was so sick that he couldn't get up. Not only did they refuse to see a doctor, but they even drove him out. Killed by them.

Several people from Xu Bei and two officials were surrounded by Lizheng's house. After he and Xu Minqing left, the house under their name was even more dilapidated. There was no place for people to live there. Lizheng's wife had already heard the news and was busy at home. Yes, as soon as the people came back, they poured hot tea and entertained the guests with snacks prepared for the New Year.

"Boy Bei," Li Zheng came out of the back room, holding a small package carefully wrapped in a handkerchief in his hand, and put it in front of Xu Bei, "This is the money sent by the official sent a few days ago, a total of 40 Two, luckily I kept it, otherwise I would be really sorry for you and Xingda."
Li Zheng was filled with emotion, the grandfather was also speechless, he was addicted to cigarettes, but the times were bad and he couldn't even smoke dry tobacco.

"That's right, that's right, alas, Xingda and his daughter-in-law are unlucky, but at last they have a good fortune, because they are kind-hearted. If someone else is willing to send their adopted child to school, their own child will follow him instead." Work in the field."
"That's right, both of those couples are good, look at the fate of that family's bad-hearted family, this person, you still have to be careful, God is watching..."
The sound got farther and farther away, and Xu Xingwang, who came out from behind the haystack, had a cloudy face, spat hard, turned around and hurried home.
Lizheng's house was lively and lively, but the big house of Xu's family was full of gunpowder smell. Xu Xingwang's return seemed to ignite the gunpowder smell, and it suddenly broke out again.
"Mother, that brat is obviously from the Xu family, and he ran to someone else's house without leaving home after he came back. What kind of words, mother, you old man, you don't talk about him well, just like his old man, he keeps getting close to outsiders all day long." Xu Xingwang was furious, and listened to what outsiders said, his nephew became a high-ranking official on a errand with the fourth son, and his uncle knew about it from other people, it is unreasonable.
Mrs. Wang sat on the kang with a sullen face, poohed on the ground and cursed: "Do you think I don't want to say it? That dead boy is urging outsiders not to give my mother face. If my mother didn't give birth to that evil son, he would have died. What a happy life for the kid? I didn’t expect to be a traitor in the end, and he didn’t even recognize my own grandma!”
The big Wang's talking became more and more angry, and he was fanned by the little Wang for a while before, and Xu Guihua added fuel and jealousy, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law stood on the same line again because of Yinzi and Xu Bei's return to get promoted and get rich, and their guns were aligned To Xu Bei, let's talk about the benefits first.
Da Wang slapped the kang table loudly: "Where is Yaozong? Call Yaozong here, I don't believe that an official will lose his reputation, just because the one who kills a thousand knives dares to disrespect my own grandma, his official You can still do it, Yaozong—" He opened his throat and shouted outside, but he was very angry.
She was still a little angry when she was pulled back by her eldest grandson before, but she was better than that unfilial person compared to her eldest grandson, and her anger has long since dissipated. She remembered that her eldest grandson said that the most important thing to be an official is reputation, even the old emperor in the capital is like this.
Xu Yaozong walked in slowly, looking sullen, raised his brows and asked, "Grandma, what's the matter?" The look in his eyes made him feel angry, but they were just running errands, and those people who passed the exam were nothing, they were just people who would never succeed in their lives.
I moved my fingers, but the tiger's mouth still hurt.
At this time, he had forgotten where the money he got into school came from. When he habitually reached out to these people for money, why didn't he feel that they were holding back?
"Grand grandson, didn't you say that officials pay more attention to reputation? You said that the one who killed a thousand swords did not recognize me as my own grandmother, dared to contradict the elders, and gave things to outsiders instead of sending them home," Yue said. Said that the blood was dripping from her heart, the second son was a piece of flesh that fell from her body, naturally everything belonged to her, especially the son's son, so she regarded Xu Bei's wealth as her own, thinking of that bastard who was lavish I was really angry and anxious to send things to outsiders, "Tell me, what is his name..." What is the name of Wen Zouzou's rhetoric.
"It's called disobedience and unfilial piety," Xu Yaozong's eyes lit up, yes, how could such a disobedient and unfilial person be favored by the Fourth Young Master, he must have been fooled, how could the Fourth Young Master know what's going on in the village when he is far away in Yanzhou , isn't it because Xu Bei listens to the Fourth Young Master as he says, if the Fourth Young Master knows the real situation, how can he tolerate such a person?However, his eyes quickly darkened again, "Grandma, don't you see that my cousin is going to gather people from the village, who still takes our family seriously, let alone tell his disrespect to grandma. "
Xu Guihua's eyes also brightened, and she murmured in her mother's ear: "Mother, let's ask the eldest brother to find Bei boy, and let him come back to honor mother, you old man, if he dares to be disobedient, we will go to the county to go to the city Go to the palace to sue him, and see if he still dares to disobey mother." She also felt that what mother said to Yaozong was reasonable, and looking at Kid Qing, he was kicked out by Yaozong's few words. In school, she felt that what Xu Beizhan was dealing with was that outsiders didn't know about it.
Hmph, if you dare to be disobedient, you will lose his official position!Xu Guihua thought of the fall she had suffered in Xu Bei's hands last time, and wished she could bite off a piece of his flesh. She, Xu Guihua, had never suffered such a big loss since she was a child.
"Yaozong, is it really useful?" Xu Xingwang also lifted his spirits and looked at his son expectantly. He was very jealous when he saw the snacks in the hands of those people on the road. To be able to continue his studies, he had to cut back on food and clothing, and he hadn't smelled meat for a long time.
Xu Yaozong raised his chin arrogantly: "Of course it is useful, we should talk about my cousin, how can you be so disregarding your reputation when you are doing business for the Fourth Young Master, this is discrediting the Fourth Young Master!"
"Yes, yes..." Xu Xingwang shook his head repeatedly and walked out, "Mother, you wait at home, I will go find my nephew." As for Xu Minqing, he is just an outsider, and he will call his nephew back , He has to drive this outsider away, why let an outsider get the benefits of the Xu family.
Xiao Wang also felt better, and said with a beaming smile, "Mother, my daughter-in-law is going to cook for your old man. I got two eggs this morning, and my daughter-in-law cooked them for you."
Xu Guihua curled her lips secretly, her sister-in-law is only good at superficiality, hmph, her mother will still listen to her daughter in the end.
