The Founding of the Red Chamber

Situ San didn't expect that Situ Da and Situ Er would come to his house to cheat him.

The two first alienated Situ San once, and even got their noses and faces bruised and swollen. As a result, brothers are brothers, just like Situ Si is always closer to Situ San, and Situ Da and Situ Er don't know when they will reconcile. up.

After the reconciliation, the two brothers always planned that Situ San treats them much closer now, and since Boss Hu was defeated, Situ San's business is getting better day by day, if they can strike while the iron is hot, they can get some benefits from Situ San Cheap is good.

Situ San is still young, with sharp edges and corners, but now he has learned some Tai Chi Kung Fu, and because the eldest and the second have worn out their mouths, Situ San has not benefited them much, let alone these two want to meddle in Situ San's medicinal herb business .

Now that Situ Da and Situ Er came to drink with Situ San again, Situ San was already wary.Sure enough, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Situ Da suddenly said, "Third brother, our blood brothers, are you still hiding with us? All right, third brother is hiding someone on the mountain, let's just talk about it." ? Could it be that your second brother and I will tell you about it?"

How could Situ San admit it? He just showed a slightly surprised look, and said in a very puzzled manner, "Brother, what are you talking about?"

Situ Da saw that Situ San was still stiff-mouthed, and said with a smile, "Pretend I don't know, the fourth brother told me all about it."

If Situ San had any trust in Situ Fourth Young Master, he would have to trick Situ into something good or bad.However, Situ Si grew up with Situ San since he was a child. This is Situ San's younger brother raised by himself. Situ San knows Situ Si's temperament very well.Even though Situ Da said so, Situ San still smiled, and asked without changing his expression, "Oh, what did Xiao Si say to Big Brother. Big Brother also said it to me."

Situ Da originally wanted to swindle some confidential matters out of Situ San's mouth, but he didn't want Situ San to be so cunning that he wouldn't be able to fall into the trap, so Situ Da vaguely said a few words, and the matter was over.

Situ San is such a character, even when he was a poor boy, he never suffered from Situ Da and Situ Second.Now that he has practiced more and more scheming, it is easy to fudge off Situ Da and Situ Er.

After leaving Master Situ, Situ San's heart sank to the bottom of the valley: Blessed and rich, they can't hide in the mountains anymore.

It was such a coincidence that before Situ San could think of a way to transfer Youfu to make a fortune, something happened to Situ Qing suddenly.

It's really speechless, the spring is a bit dry, Situ Qing and Zhang went to water the fields, walking on the field, accidentally slipped, and fell all over the place.Farmers, those who muddy the fields every day, who is less likely to wrestle or something, it is really common.What's more, Situ Qing is only in his early forties, so he is not very old at this age.No one expected that Situ Qing couldn't get up when he fell to the ground.After Mrs. Zhang asked her neighbors to help Situ Qing go home, and called Situ San and Situ Si to go home, Liu Zhigao volunteered to invite the doctor, but Situ Qing died before the doctor came back.

It was an accident that Situ Qing fell to his death, and the funeral is now going on.

What Situ San meant was that Situ Qing was not his own father, but Situ Da was his own son, the eldest son, so naturally he should go to Situ's family for the funeral.Situ Da was a little bit unhappy. A funeral is not a trivial matter. At least the coffin must have a white cloth.This is another expense, and it cannot be done without five taels of silver.

After all, it's all about money.

Situ San didn't care about this, and said directly, "I do have the few taels of silver. It's just that I thought, elder brother is the eldest son after all, if it were placed here with me, I'm afraid that the villagers will say that elder brother is wrong." As he said, Situ Three went into the house and took five taels of silver to Situ Da, "Look, brother, is it enough?"

As soon as he saw Yinliang, Situ Da had no scruples anymore, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said repeatedly, "Look at what the third brother said, I am the eldest brother, so I should invite our father to my place. Anyone who robs me will not give him away." My elder brother pays attention to it!" As he said, he took the silver with both hands, and asked the villagers to help carry Situ Qing to his home.

Finally sent the group away, Situ San saw Situ Situ's eyes were red, hugged his shoulders, and sighed inaudibly.Situ Si is not very close to Situ Qing on weekdays, but Situ Si is still sad after Situ Qing passed away.Perhaps, this is nature, the nature between father and son by blood.

Apart from Situ Si, there was the Zhang family, who was used to being a good man, and the couple who had been with Situ Qing over the years had raised Situ Si.Although the two families live together as a family and have many things to do, Situ Qing is an honest person and has always treated her well.Now that Situ Qing left suddenly, Mrs. Zhang couldn't stop crying.The reason why Situ San took the initiative to take out the money to send General Situ Qing to his yard for the funeral was because he didn't want Situ Si and Zhang to feel emotional and sad.

Mrs. Zhang is okay, her husband died a long time ago, so she has some experience.What's more, now that Situ San is promising, he will use Situ Si to persuade him, for example, "The fourth brother can't eat for the past two days, he has lost a lot of weight, and he doesn't have much energy..." Mrs. Zhang said He immediately turned his attention to his younger son.

Situ Si's sadness was completely hazy. It was the first time for him to experience the death of a relative. In fact, he didn't quite understand the origin of this sadness. He privately said to Situ San, "Brother, I always looked down on Dad before, and felt that he Incompetent, useless. Now, my father died suddenly, and I feel extremely uncomfortable." As he said, Situ Si's tears fell down one after another, wiping one line and another line.

Situ San sighed, "No one dies. I am older than you, and I will die before you in the future."

In Situ Si's heart, Situ San's status must be more important than Situ Qing. Hearing what Situ San said, Situ Si finally couldn't help it, grinned loudly, and said to Situ San while howling, "Brother, what are you doing?" It's time to die, tell me first, my brother, you are dead, so you don't feel uncomfortable."

Situ San knocked him on the head and cursed helplessly, "Stupid thing."

After everyone was sad, Situ Qing's coffin stayed in Situ's mausoleum for three days, and then it was carried to the ancestral grave in Situ village and buried for safety.

Situ San still manages the old business, and as his medicinal herb business is going well, Situ San decides to rent out the family's field directly and ask Mrs. Zhang to do some housework at home.

Mrs. Zhang was a bit reluctant at first, but she was just a country woman with no opinions. Now that her two husbands have passed away, she listens to her son's arrangements for all family affairs.

The field at home was rented out by her son, and Mrs. Zhang was used to the job, so she had to eat three meals a day at home. Instead, she felt that she was in a panic, so she discussed with her son to raise a few more piglets, and it would take a year to raise them. , Selling can also subsidize the family.Situ San agreed.

After Situ Qing passed away, under Situ San's intentional alienation, there were even fewer contacts with Situ Da and Situ Er.

Therefore, when Situ San saw Situ Da and Situ Er who were waiting for him at the door with a trace of anxiety on their faces, he was still a little surprised, and with a smile, Situ San said, "Oh, why are you here when you are free?" Already?" The night owl came into the house and came for nothing.Situ San didn't have the slightest affection for the two brothers, but now Situ San was very good at saving face, so he still invited Situ Da and Situ Er into the house to talk.

The two followed Situ San into the door with a lot of favours.When Situ Da and Situ Er saw Mrs. Zhang, he even called out "Mother", which made Situ San so nasty that he didn't say anything.

Situ San is more and more respectable now, and he is wearing silk long gowns, so he asked directly, "Is there something wrong with elder brother and second brother?"

When Situ San said a word, the two of them fell to their knees and shouted, "Third brother, third brother, you can save my brothers!"

Situ San was really startled, he raised his eyebrows slightly, he really didn't want to pay attention to these two people.However, he didn't ask, but he couldn't stop the two brothers from pouring beans out of the bamboo tube angrily.

The matter is not complicated, the old man died, and the five taels of silver for the funeral were paid by Situ San. In fact, only three taels were used in total, and the remaining two taels were divided equally between the two brothers, and each of them earned one tael.In addition, there is also the money that the villagers brought with them at the funeral. The two brothers did not share the money secretly like Situ San and Situ Si mentioned.

In fact, it's nothing, Situ San knew it all too well, and never thought of being fussy with these two.

It's just that the two brothers made some money from their father's funeral, so they went shopping together in the town and met Situ Fen. They ended up falling into their game and entered an underground gambling house, losing everything , and each owed 20 taels of silver.

Those who can open gambling houses are all desperadoes.

Situ Da, Situ Er, these rascals are disgusting in people's eyes, it's really not enough to look at, the gambling house has already put down cruel words, and if they don't pay back the money within ten days, they will chop them up.

Now, the two brothers were desperate, so they came to Situ San to borrow money.

These days, Situ San doesn't want to haggle over money with Situ Da and Situ Er, he just thinks that one thing more is worse than one thing less. If Situ Da Situ Er really thinks that he is being taken advantage of, Situ San will have to make them realize the reality .

Situ San didn't say anything, and directly beat the two of them out the door.

Go to hell!

Situ Da and Situ Er could die, but Situ San was more than happy to pay back the money for Situ Fen.Unfortunately, according to Situ Fen's family background, he might not be needed.

Situ Fen couldn't hide his gambling debts, and he didn't dare to hide it either.Relying on his father, in Situ village, it's all right for others to give him some face.Put it outside, Situ Fen is a fart!

Of course, Situ Fen now also understands that he really doesn't even count as a fart outside.He was also afraid that the people in the gambling shop would beat and kill him, so he lost his courage, so he insisted on beating Situ Lichang, but Situ Fen still told him about the gambling money owed.

In fact, in this matter, Li Zhang Situ took out 20 taels of silver to pay back the gambling money for his son.However, Chief Situ has an upright personality. In the eyes of Chief Situ, underground casinos are illegal. An upright person like him did not pay his son's gambling debts, but sued the county government.

As a result, Situ Fen disappeared the next day as soon as Situ Lichang handed over the pleading paper.

The whereabouts of the only son is unknown, life and death are unknown, and the village chief's wife almost loses her old eyes from crying.

All the conspiracies will always be unfolded in a strange and different way. When you suddenly look back, you find that you are already in the net and can't move.

Situ San was still planning his medicinal herb business. When Situ Si found Uncle Yan's family called Situ San with a pale face and tears in his eyes, he couldn't speak clearly, and just said over and over again, "Brother, mother, mother, mother." problem occurs."

Situ San was startled, but he still held his ground. He pulled Situ Si and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me!"

Situ opened his mouth four times, but now he couldn't even speak, and began to cry trembling all over.It was a kid who ran back with Situ Si, and said with a sharp tongue, "Third brother, go and see quickly, your mother committed adultery with a man, and asked the chief to lead someone to arrest him."

"Fart!" Situ San roared angrily, which made the boy tremble and dare not speak again.

Situ San couldn't tell what it was like, even after many years, he still couldn't recall the feeling at that time.During that time, Situ San couldn't remember all the people who came and went, the insane Zhang family, the cynicism of the villagers, the verdict of the village chief, and everything else.

His memory, for a period of time, seemed to be gently erased by the hand of the gods.

When he woke up, there was only the sound of Situ Sishou sobbing softly beside him.Seeing that he was awake, Situ Si cried even louder, Liu Zhigao came over and whispered a few words to Situ Si.Situ Si sobbed and lifted Situ San from the bed, Liu Zhigao brought a bowl of medicine and fed Situ San into it.

Situ San woke up again and again, only to feel some strength.

"What happened?" Situ San asked.

Liu Zhigao first scolded a few "bastards" in a low voice, and carefully persuaded Situ Sandao, "Third brother, you are good at giving birth, and let Aunt Zhang feel at ease."

An inaudible sigh escaped from Situ San's chest, he closed his eyes shallowly, and did not speak.
