At the beginning, the little koi carp was grabbed by a wolf and became the favorite of the beasts.

Father Zheng had just sent away the visiting villagers. Before he could return to the yard, he saw two carriages driving this way, followed by a group of children.

Although he didn't know where the carriage came from, he saw his sweet granddaughter running behind him at a glance, so he quickly stepped forward to greet her.

When he got closer, he saw that Hua Manxing was following behind.

He walked forward enthusiastically, with a smile on his face, "Manxing, it turns out you are back, and this is your husband-in-law, he looks really talented."

"I've met my uncle!"

Guo Mingyu bowed respectfully.

"Hahaha~ We are all a family. Don't be so outgoing. Let's go for a walk and go back to the house to warm up." Father Zheng laughed and walked to the front to lead the way.

Seeing how kind he was, Guo Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed. He used to be curious about why Xing'er liked the Zheng family so much, but now it seems that they are really easy to get along with.

After parking the carriage, the group walked into the yard.

At this time, Zheng Gensheng was smiling happily and helping to carry firewood to the kitchen. When he saw the two people walking into the yard, he was stunned for a moment. After reacting, he immediately dropped the firewood in his hands and went towards them.

"Hahaha~ Mr. Guo, you two came really fast, but you are still a step behind me."

"Old General Zheng, I didn't expect you to be from the Zheng family. This fate is really magical." Hua Manxing looked a little excited when he saw the familiar figure, and the relationship between the two families became closer.

"There are no generals at home. You two should call me uncle." Zheng Gensheng waved his hand and led them into the house.

Jin Bao was held by Guo Mingyu's hand all the time. After entering the house, he held him gently in his arms.

Smelling the faint scent of sandalwood behind her, she narrowed her eyes comfortably. This father is so gentle.

Zheng Gensheng looked at the father and daughter who were getting along so well and couldn't help but sigh. As expected, blood dissolves in water. Although it was the first time they met, there was no barrier at all between them.

After sighing, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Guo Xiaozi, is there any other news from the capital after I left the capital?"

Guo Mingyu and Hua Manxing looked at each other, hesitant, not sure whether they should say it or not.

Zheng Gensheng saw their entanglement and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it. I have never experienced any big storms, so I am still afraid that small things will not work out."

Speaking of this, Guo Mingyu didn’t hide it anymore and said slowly:

"At the court, headed by General Li and Zhou Shangshu, they gathered the officials to report that you are old and should no longer lead troops on expeditions. Therefore, they requested your majesty to take back your military power and then select someone from your juniors to take over."

After saying that, he looked at the old man sitting opposite with some worry, feeling unfair for him in his heart.

The border was defended and the enemy was repulsed. Those officials who were sitting back and thinking were just not grateful. Instead, they wanted to add insult to injury.

Zheng Gensheng's expression remained unchanged and he asked: "What did the emperor say?"

In fact, he didn't care at all what other people said, he only cared about the emperor's attitude.

Speaking of the emperor, Hua Manxing smiled slightly and said: "The emperor will naturally not be affected by their few words. Not only did those people get a bad reception, they were also scolded."

It is an extremely lucky thing to have a wise king, which is why they are loyal.

Zheng Gensheng pounded the table excitedly and laughed, "Hahaha~ It's exactly as I guessed."

In fact, he doesn't value military power. If the emperor needs it, he can provide it with both hands at any time.

It's just that the old man named Li definitely wants to push his son to take office, and he won't let him succeed.

Although Father Zheng only heard a general idea, he also understood that someone must be trying to do harm to his second brother, but seeing that his second brother didn't care, he didn't take it to heart.

"Okay, now that we've all gone home, don't mention the matters in the court anymore. Let's put those trivial matters behind and take a good rest at home."

Everyone nodded unanimously and agreed with what he said.

At this time, Mrs. Zhou brought a pot of water and filled it for everyone, "I'll call Meihua and the others back later to help. Let's prepare some more meals today and have a good time together."

"Okay, let's leave the military camp now. We must not return until we are drunk." Zheng Gensheng's face was red and he was very excited.

As soon as he finished speaking, a shout came from the yard: "Is Brother Gensheng at home?"

When Zhou went out, she saw that the visitor was Liu Pandi from the same village. However, she had already married to a neighboring village. She didn't know why she came to their house today.

What's even stranger is that there is a coy old woman following behind her.

The old woman's face was painted like a monkey's butt, which was unbearable to look at.

"Brother Pan is back, what's wrong with you?"

The room was already full of people, and it was not convenient to invite them in, so I stood in the yard and asked directly.

With a happy face, Liu Pandi pulled the old woman behind him forward and said directly: "This is my sister-in-law. My husband-in-law died of illness a few years ago, and she is still single. Not only is she gentle, but she is also considerate and capable..."

Mrs. Zhou looked at her self-promotion and was a little confused. It was none of their business to have her sister-in-law come to their house to show off.

She sounded a little impatient, interrupted her, and asked: "Brother Pan, I know your sister-in-law is nice, but what's the reason for you coming here?"

She was still preparing to cook, but she didn't have time to listen to her praise here.

Besides, she is still an ugly old woman, and she really doesn't see anything good about her.

Liu Pandi was not embarrassed when she was interrupted. She stretched her neck and glanced into the room, and asked, "Is Brother Gensheng at home? We are mainly here to see Brother Gensheng today."

Seeing the shy look on the old woman's face, Mrs. Zhou felt shocked and suddenly guessed the purpose of their visit.

The second brother has only been back for the second day today, and the villagers who came to visit have just left. It only took two cups of tea, and someone has already set their sights on the second brother?

I have to say, these people are really fast!

"Second brother is entertaining guests inside. It's not convenient to come out. If you have anything, just tell me. I will tell him later."

Right now, these two people must be sent away first, and the ones who don't look bad enough should be left behind.

Liu Pandi heard a lot of people talking in the room, so he didn't hesitate and said with a smile: "Didn't I hear that brother Gensheng is single? My sister-in-law happens to be single too, so I want to marry them both." Let’s put it together personally.”

As she spoke, she pushed the old woman forward, wanting Mrs. Zhou to have a good look.

The old woman was also very sensible, and she immediately grinned and showed a kind look.

When Zhou saw her big yellow teeth, she felt sick in her stomach. She quickly took a few steps back and looked away.

Such an old woman had the nerve to introduce her to her second brother. She was really speechless.

Before she could think of an excuse to refuse, two more people came outside the door. One was Sister-in-law Yang from the same village, and the other looked a little unfamiliar, but she was quite beautiful.

Judging from the appearance of these two people, they are not trying to take advantage of the second brother again, are they? It doesn’t look appropriate for this age...

Mrs. Zhou had a headache, but she was from the same village anyway, so she had to receive her well, "Sister-in-law Yang, why are you here free? Who is this?"

Sister-in-law Yang looked at Liu Pandi and the others up and down, with disdain flashing in her eyes, and then she said with a smile: "This is my natal girl named Cuihua. She has been a widow for many years. I brought her here today to let her and Gensheng Let’s get to know each other, brother.”

After she got the news that Zheng Gensheng was single, she ran non-stop to her parents' house and brought her little sister over, in order to strike first.

She didn't expect that there was someone who was one step ahead of her, but that kind of guy was not qualified to compete with her little sister.

Liu Pandi naturally saw that the person was not kind. She glared at Cuihua and said angrily: "Sister-in-law Yang, I heard that your sister has many concubines. Is it true?"

After being a widow for so many years, there is never a shortage of men in the house. Don't think she doesn't know.

Cuihua's face turned red when she said it, and the ends of her eyes were slightly moist.

No one can accept this kind of thing if it is brought out in the open.

Cuihua didn't dare to say a word, but Sister-in-law Yang didn't intend to spare her, "Brother Liu Pan, stop talking nonsense here. Who are you disgusting by bringing an old woman here? You have the nerve to slander my sister. If you dare again Talk nonsense, or I'll tear your mouth apart."

If you dare to throw dirty water on her sister, then don't blame her for opening her mouth and denying people.

"If you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself. She knows in her heart whether what I say is true. Don't think that I am afraid because of your support." Liu Pandi was not afraid of her at all, and retorted with his hands on his hips.

Seeing that the two of them were quarreling and had a vague urge to fight, Mrs. Zhou persuaded them hard: "Sister-in-law Yang and brother Pan, we are all from the same village. Don't let the harmony get hurt because of trivial matters."

"If she hadn't been able to control her mouth, I wouldn't have bothered to argue with her." Sister-in-law Yang glanced at Liu Pandi disdainfully, as if she didn't take her seriously.

Liu Pandi looked a little unhappy when he heard this. He turned to look at Mr. Zhou and said, "Sister-in-law, please call Brother Gensheng out and have a look to see who he will fall in love with."

She didn't believe that the Zheng family would accept a woman who was unruly.

Zhou had no choice but to say: "Then you wait first, I will go into the room and ask the second brother what he wants."

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the main room.

Father Zheng frowned and asked, "What's going on? Why do I hear there's a noise outside?"

Zhou turned his attention to Zheng Gensheng and said, "Second brother, the people outside are here for you. Do you want to go out and take a look?"

"Who is he? Why is he coming here for me when I just came back?" Zheng Gensheng didn't believe it. He had been away from home for so many years, and there was no one who knew him well in the village.

"It's Sister-in-law Yang and Brother Pan. They are here to introduce a wife to the second brother."

Zhou thought of the people outside and suddenly felt like laughing. It seemed that the second brother was quite charming.

"What did you say? Introduce your wife?"

Zheng Gensheng's eyes widened and he stood up in surprise.

He is already old and has never thought about remarrying. There are still people who want to introduce him to a wife. Isn't this a joke?

"Ahem, that second brother, why don't you go out and take a look? It's not good to keep people waiting outside." Father Zheng persuaded while holding back his smile.

In fact, he mentioned the matter of resuming the relationship to his second brother last night, but his second brother had no plans in that regard, and he did not dare to mention it again.

But now that people have come to visit me, I have to go out and meet them no matter what.

Zheng Gensheng glared at him, turned to Mrs. Zhou and said: "Brothers and sisters, please help the second brother to send them away. I didn't get a good rest last night, and my head hurts badly now. I'll go back to the house and take a nap first. You guys go first?" Sit down."

After saying that, he hid in the back room without looking back, never daring to show his face again.

Hua Manxing knew that he wanted to escape, so he stood up and said with a smile: "Auntie, let me go out with you and take a look!"

"Okay then, you go out with me to take a look and find an excuse to send them away." Mrs. Zhou held her hand and walked out.

Several children also lay outside the door watching the fun.

Liu Pandi saw her leading a woman out, but there was no figure of Zheng Gensheng behind her. He frowned and said, "Sister-in-law? Where is Brother Gensheng? Why don't you see him coming out?"

What does it mean to wait for a long time for a beautiful woman to come out?

Although Sister-in-law Yang did not speak, she looked at Hua Manxing defensively, with some displeasure on her face.

Hua Manxing smiled slightly and explained calmly: "As you know, my uncle has been fighting at the border all year round, and he inevitably has many hidden diseases. Just now he felt uncomfortable in his chest and vomited a pool of blood. Now he is lying down in the house to rest. Well, I hope my aunts will understand."

In her opinion, treating women is much easier than treating enemies.

Zhou was dumbfounded as she opened her eyes and told lies, and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up in her heart.

Sure enough, upon hearing her words, Sister-in-law Yang and Brother Liu Pan were stunned, with some hesitation on their faces.

The reason why they wanted to marry their relatives to Zheng Gensheng was to have a relationship with the Zheng family.

But if Zheng Gensheng is a sick man and lets his sister (sister-in-law) marry him, wouldn't it be a harm to his own family?

The two of them started to think about what to do next.

The ugly old woman was also hesitant and began to think about whether she could get any benefits from marrying her. In her eyes, as long as she could get money, she would marry even a dead person, let alone a sick person.

That Cuihua's expression didn't change much, but the disgust in her eyes still revealed her attitude.

Hua Manxing saw everything in his eyes, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and added to his anger, "Uncle has owed a lot of money outside these years. If any of you are willing to share the joys and sorrows with him, we can do it without my uncle having to say anything. Agree to this marriage on his behalf."

She didn't think the two women in front of her would agree to endure hardship. All they said was that they wanted to gain some benefits from the Zheng family in the future.

Zhou saw her intention, suppressed a smile and continued her words: "Yes, the second brother is unwilling to accept our help. If he can marry a good wife and live together, we will feel at ease."

After the four women heard this, their expressions changed again and again. They had originally thought that with the wealth of the Zheng family, how could they bear to let Zheng Gensheng owe money to others, but now even their last illusions were shattered.
