Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

Zhang Xingwang, who was very angry with Old Man Zhang, met his uncle-in-law on the way back to his aunt's house.

Seeing his uncle-in-law walking in front with a heartless pace, followed by six men, Zhang Xingwang stopped him from a distance.

The uncle walked up to Zhang Xingwang and said directly:

"Hey, Xingwang, uncle wants to talk to you. After all, we are relatives. It's better to talk it out. Can uncle apologize to you first?"

Zhang Xingwang originally thought that there would be another "tough battle" to be fought, but he was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Seeing that Zhang Xingwang didn't say anything, the uncle probably didn't want to reconcile. Thinking of how he had been hiding from others every now and then, he gritted his teeth and continued:

"Xingwang, I know I'm wrong. What should I do? I'll listen to you. We're all family. If we keep fighting, we'll make a fool of ourselves. I can't bear it any more."

After listening to this, Zhang Xingwang pointed at the six people behind his uncle and asked:

"Then why did you bring so many people?"

"Um... they are all my relatives. They are here to give me courage. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to talk to you alone..."

"Then why don't they come over?"

"Um... they are waiting for my signal. You have to promise not to do anything before they come...

We agreed when we came here that if anything happened to me, they would run away and call for help..."

.........

Afterwards, the group sat down at the home of a relative of my uncle-in-law and prepared to chat.

Zhang Xingwang sat on a stool inside the room. His uncle-in-law and the owner of the room sat opposite him. The remaining five people squeezed on the long bench closest to the door.

Judging from the appearance of these people, I guess my uncle must have put a lot of thought into finding them.

Before the conversation started, the village chief came over with a few old men. Looking at the old men who were trembling as they walked, Zhang Xingwang couldn't figure out what they were going to do.

Fortunately, the table was big enough, so the old men sat down next to Zhang Xingwang. The village chief also sat down opposite Zhang Xingwang. He seemed to be impatient, and immediately said after sitting down:

"Although you are good at throwing bricks, the people in our village are not scared. Just tell us what you plan to do about your uncle.

Otherwise, who would be able to bear your cowardly uncle going door to door complaining every day? "

"Uncle, what have you been doing lately?"

"What can I do? It's cold and I have nothing to do. I can just visit friends and chat with them..."

The village chief looked at his uncle with a look of disappointment and said:

"What else can he do? He goes around visiting people every day and tells them that the villagers are not united. He can hardly make a living but no one cares..."

"Uncle, are you unable to survive?"

"My arm is fine, and I've been wanting to talk to you about it, but you didn't say what to do, and you like throwing bricks, so I exaggerated it a little."

The village chief then helplessly interrupted and said:

"Anyway, it was wrong for him to beat his wife before, but there was a reason after all, so I won't talk about it. How are you going to live in the future? You are the head of her family, you have to give an explanation.

Otherwise, who can stand your uncle coming to visit us every day..."

"Um... didn't I say it last time? Just maintain the status quo. My aunt has also expressed her opinion. We've agreed to continue. Just follow her advice. As for the rest..."

After hearing this, the village chief immediately slapped the table, interrupted Zhang Xingwang's words, and said with a cheerful smile:

"Isn't that the end of it? I'm just making this clear. If he continues to make a scene, I'll just slap him."

Zhang Xingwang nodded in agreement. At this time, his uncle suddenly interrupted and said:

"Xingwang, let's see if you can make some slight adjustments to the family status you mentioned last time."

Zhang Xingwang then understood what his uncle meant by this, but he did not say anything. Instead, he looked at the village chief.

After receiving Zhang Xingwang's gaze, the village chief spoke directly:

"Then it's settled. Anyway, the village will take care of quarrels and fights, so you can't just do it casually anymore."

After saying this, he continued in the eager gaze of his uncle:

"Well... as for family status and so on, it's a matter between the couple after all, and the village shouldn't interfere."

Hearing this, Zhang Xingwang nodded and quacked twice.

The village chief looked at the disheartened uncle and comforted him awkwardly, then said:

"It's nothing. A real man is one who can bend and stretch. Look at Er Gouzi from the next village. Although he is completely controlled by his wife, he still lives a good life.

What are you afraid of as a man? If your wife really wants to bully you, you can come to me and I will take care of it for you."

My uncle-in-law was already disheartened, but after hearing the village chief's consolation, he burst into tears and cried as if his dignity had fallen to the ground.

.........

Then, while everyone was gathered, the village chief prepared two dishes and the group drank three bottles of wine. Zhang Xingwang also contributed a bottle of Fenjiu.

After a while, they started to call each other brothers. My uncle-in-law wanted to drink something, but Zhang Xingwang asked:

"Uncle, don't you dislike drinking?"

When the village chief saw that there were many people and little wine, he also agreed and told him to go play cards.

Then my uncle-in-law nodded and went to play cards. It is said that the uncle-in-law, who had failed in love, won a lot that day and was in tears the whole time.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when Zhang Xingwang, who was half drunk, returned to his aunt's house.

The cousin who was standing at the gate of the yard ran over immediately after seeing Zhang Xingwang and insisted on introducing his new friend to Zhang Xingwang.

After entering his cousin's room and looking at the three children in front of him, Zhang Xingwang sobered up instantly.

A little boy with snot bubbles coming out of his nose and two relatively normal little girls, the three children were looking at Zhang Xingwang with curiosity.

Finally I realized that my cousin was taking advantage of the situation again. These three children are all relatives of my family and are not even within the fifth degree of mourning.

No wonder they could stay here so late at night. The children were coaxed here by the candies that my uncle-in-law bought for my cousin.

Zhang Xingwang felt that his cousin did put in some effort, but it was obvious that he didn't use it much.

The cousin may have noticed that Zhang Xingwang was a little dissatisfied, so after sending the little ones out, he began to explain to Zhang Xingwang.

According to my cousin, he already has four friends at school, which is more than his goal.

The main reason is that they are a bit far away and no one wants to come to his house at night, so he has to resort to this last resort.

Now my cousin is acting more and more like a normal kid in school. My cousin also chimed in and said that her brother's academic performance has also improved, and she has also met his four friends.

My cousin said hesitantly that there was an older sister among them who was very nice and even took her out to play.
