For a person like Song Man, what is most important to him? His daughter Song Jinmei knows very well that Song Jinmei's behavior at the moment all indicates that something Song Man is least willing to see has happened in the mansion.

"Daddy, I told you, don't be too angry. The doctor said that your body needs rest." Song Jinmei said after a while: "It's like this. The second day after you went out, I accidentally found out My younger brother meets men privately at home..."

Song Man was shocked: "Aren't you talking nonsense?" Although Song Jingwei's personality in his heart was not to his liking, he would never do such a nameless thing, and his Song family did not have such a crime of misconduct.

Song Jinmei said: "Daughter is not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, go and have a look now. There are still traces of flirting with men on his body. You can't hide it at all."

Song Man couldn't believe his daughter's words. He said with a livid face, "I'll go and see. If it's true, I'll, I'll stab him! Our Song family doesn't have such a shameless person." Sinister!"

The two went to Song Jingwei's residence angrily.

The door was guarded by two burly men, Song Jinmei explained: "I'm afraid that he will elope with that man, and our Song family's reputation will be lost by then."

Song Man nodded and said, "You've done a good job." The eldest daughter is sensible, and the son is more and more ignorant, how can he not be angry.

The father and daughter stepped into Song Jingwei's room and smelled a faint scent of tea. It was Song Jingwei who was eating tea and reading a book at the same time.Hearing the movement at the door, he looked at each other slightly, thinking whether to call for someone, but seeing Song Man glaring at him, he knew there was no need to call, because the result was the same.

"Are you dumb? You don't know how to bark when you meet people?" Song Man was so angry that he refused to hear his son call him and his sister.Looking at Song Jingwei's dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, he knew that what the eldest daughter said was not made up, and that his son was indeed having a secret meeting with a man?

Song Jingwei put down the book, hesitating whether to speak or not, but if he didn't speak, the matter would be annoying: "Do you believe everything she told you?"

Being stared at by his son, Song Man couldn't bear to ask: "You are living with a man at home, is this true or not?"

Answering from this sentence alone, Song Jingwei said, "It's true."

Song Man's reaction was that he looked around for someone who could take advantage of it, and finally found an embroidered pier. He said, "I will kill you shameless bastard!"

"Daddy!" Song Jinmei rushed forward to stop Song Man, but he couldn't hit him!How can you relieve your anger if you are not pregnant, she persuaded: "Don't hit! Don't do it, you are not worth it if you are angry!"

Song Man said angrily: "Get out of the way, let me beat this scoundrel to death, he actually did such an outrageous thing! It's completely embarrassing for my Song family!"

Song Jinmei's goal was not to let Song Man beat Song Jingwei to death, she said: "Dad, calm down, this matter has not been brought to light yet, God knows what you know and I know, there is still room for salvation."

Song Mandao: "What room is there?" He was short of breath for a moment, because of his reputation.

"If you think about it, you'll understand. My brother did this because of emotion and couldn't help it. I'm afraid he loves that man very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't drink the river water..."

"What did you say?" It's one thing to just live, but another thing to be in the river. Song Man really wants to kill Song Jingwei now!

"Daddy calm down, don't do anything!" Song Jinmei stopped Song Man again.

A sneer came out of Song Jingwei's mouth gently, he just thought the scene in front of him was funny.Song Jinmei directed and acted by himself, talking to himself, but he didn't even have the slightest desire to defend himself, maybe it was because he was not motivated, or maybe he was disdainful.

"What are you laughing at? You still have the face to laugh when you do such a thing?" Song Man waved the embroidery pier furiously and cursed.

"Why don't I laugh, tell me, what do you want to do with me?" Song Jingwei looked at him quietly, without any fluctuation in his eyes, Song Man could no longer see that simple and straightforward shadow, after all, he changed because of a man .

Even though he didn't have great expectations for Song Jingwei, Song Man was still heartbroken.

"Father, it's not your fault. Since he is willing to fall, you should help him, so that he won't complain about you in the end, saying that you are not a good father." Song Jinmei pinched Song Man's seven inches and said, knowing that Song Man was the last Can't stand people saying he's not good.

"Are you serious?" Song Man glared at Song Jingwei and said, "Do you really think I'm not a good father?" He dared to say no!Whoever gave birth to him and raised him these years, gave him food, drink and shelter, he dared to say no!

Song Jinmei was a little anxious and regretted turning Song Man's attention to this. She said, "Of course you are a good father. If you help my younger brother, he will be grateful to you." Since he came in, he has never argued for himself. It seems that he also knows that he will not be able to tell the difference anyway, so he simply does not argue.

"Okay, okay, you're willing to degenerate...I'll help you and let you live your happy life!" Song Man gave Song Jingwei a hard look, full of displeasure, and finally flung his sleeves away.He has always been brooding about his son's dull awareness, but fortunately he had thought about passing on the Song family business to his son before, but now it seems that it was a wrong decision.

Fortunately, it happened early and there was still room for regret.

Song Man left, Song Jinmei stayed, she was both suspicious and curious, and asked with a sneer: "Could it be that you really fell in love with that man, and you want to marry him that much?"

Song Jingwei said without raising his head, "You don't have to let me marry."

Song Jinmei said coldly: "Don't even think about it." She turned around and left Song Jingwei's room, only listening to her order to the servant who guarded the door: "Guard me carefully, don't let him go out."

In the afternoon of the next day, Song Man's mood calmed down a bit, and he called Song Jinmei to discuss with him about Song Jingwei.

He has been thinking all day and night, thinking about it, but still can't make a decision: "In any case, this matter must not damage the Song family's reputation." So he said to Song Jinmei: "Or, it's better to keep it a secret, and they are not allowed to do it again." come and go."

Song Jinmei immediately vetoed it: "This is not good, and one day the fire will be overwhelmed."

Song Man nodded solemnly, yes, if people don't know, unless he does nothing, "Then what do you say?" It's still a joke to make the two of them perfect?He is the only male in the Song Mansion, and for a man he willingly degenerates to drink the river water, making the people of Lihua Town laugh to death.

"Father, it's fine if you do this." Song Jinmei said: "If you marry my younger brother as a daughter, people will say that you are kind and generous, and take care of your children. After all, this is what my younger brother asked for. You only need to reveal a little bit and people will understand. Brother The poorer your husband is, the better, people will say that you treat everyone equally, you are generous, you are a man of character and knowledge."

Song Man was faintly moved. He had done a lot of good deeds, large and small, in recent years, but his reputation had never improved. Now this opportunity can kill two birds with one stone. He asked, "Who is that man?" mentioned poverty.

Song Jinmei said: "This daughter is not very clear. I have to send someone to investigate." What is the situation in his family, whether he has a wife or not.

According to Song Jinmei, it's best that the man already has a wife and son, so it's best to get Song Jingwei over at this time, and let them fight each other.

That night, Shen Junxi went out of the city overnight, and walked for more than an hour at night before returning to Chashan Village.When he got home, his mother and father had already had dinner, the father was resting in the house, and the mother was doing needlework under the dim light.

Suddenly seeing Shen Junxi coming back, Shen's mother, Yang, quickly put down the needle and thread in her hand, wiped the eye juice from the corners of her eyes, then got up and went up to meet her and asked, "Why is Brother Xi back?" Usually Shen Junxi went to the town to sell tea, or Either come back early, or spend the night at a classmate's house.It was the first time I came back so late tonight.

Shen Junxi put down the pannier on his back, and simply said in sign language: I was delayed on the road.

Mrs. Yang is soft-tempered, and she will do whatever her son says. She asked him a few words of concern, and then asked him to wash up. She went to the kitchen to make noodles for him.

Shen's father, Shen Dongming, had been picking tea in the tea fields for a day, and was so exhausted that he went to bed early.Afraid of waking up his father, Shen Junxi was cautious when passing the door.He came to the open-air courtyard, filled a bucket of cold water in the dark night, took off his clothes, and slowly washed his body with a muslin.

When his fingers brushed his waist, he paused for a moment, as if there was still the tactile sensation of being wounded by a pair of long legs.This thought made him shiver slightly, followed by his stomach tightening, causing his plain face to completely blush.

Fortunately, Shen Junxi was used to being calm, even if his belly rebelled, he could still continue to wash with his eyes open and his nose open, as if nothing like this had happened.

"Brother Xi, come and eat noodles." Yang brought out the noodles and placed them in front of Shen Junxi, she smiled lovingly and said: "Mother added eggs for you, eat quickly."

Shen Junxi made a gesture to Yang Shi, which made Yang smile and feel more distressed about him: "Eat quickly, go to bed after eating, and pick tea tomorrow." Watching his son eating in a gentle manner On the face, Yang secretly wiped tears.Her Brother Xi was not so pitiful at all, it was because of her broken body that the voice of Brother Zhi Xi was delayed.

Five years ago, Shen Junxi was a scholar who was envied by everyone in Chashan Village. He planned to take the exam, but was delayed because of his mother Yang's illness. Not only that, but also because he was caught cold in the heavy rain, he became sicker and sicker. , In the end, the person was fine, but his voice became hoarse.

A good scholar, who hurt his throat, couldn't take the imperial examination, and couldn't speak anymore.Yang cried for two full years because of this incident. This year is the fifth year. Her family's scholar-in-law had already fallen from the clouds and became a well-known dumb scholar in Chashan Village.

After Shen Junxi finished eating the noodles, he saw his mother crying for him again, feeling a little helpless.He got up and walked over, gently embraced his mother's thin shoulders, patted and comforted her.

He's fine, really fine.

It’s okay if he can’t speak anymore, he has learned sign language, and his family can understand it, so they can communicate with him.It's okay if he can't take the imperial examination, he can still read and study, and devotes himself more to farming, managing the ten acres of tea garden at home to support his family.

In the past, his family used a lot of money to support his studies, but at the end of the day, he didn't even have the emergency money for his mother's medical treatment. Only then did he realize that his imperial examination path was a drag on his family.It doesn't matter if your voice is hoarse, put down your pen and ink, roll up your sleeves, and be a farmer.

"Okay, mother isn't crying, so you don't have to worry." Yang brushed away her son's hand and returned to her usual appearance, no, she was stronger than usual and said, "Don't worry, your father and I have already saved enough dowry money , just save some more time, and I will marry you a daughter-in-law, so that those crooked gossips will know that our family can't afford a daughter-in-law."

Shen Junxi patted Yang's hand and said there was no hurry, Yang said guiltily: "Mother is not for those rotten things, I am for you, if it weren't for my serious illness, your father and grandson and I would have died together." Hugged her." She sighed and said, "Fortunately, Xiaolan is not that snobbish. It is true that she has a marriage contract with you, but it is not easy for other girls, and she is willing to wait for you after so many years."

After the incident happened, those who flattered their family hid one by one, fearing that they would borrow money.Even the Xue family, the in-laws who had been arranged in advance, stopped their daughter Xue Lan from coming to visit.

At that time, Shen Junxi and Xue Lan were 13 years old, and the two families agreed to get married in two years.Of course it didn't work out later, the Xue family wanted Xue Lan to marry somewhere else, but Xue Lan herself didn't want to.Xue's parents couldn't control it, so they had no choice but to stop her from seeing Shen Junxi.

After five years like this, they seldom saw Xue Lan and Xue Lan's family, they only knew that Xue Lan was not married yet.

Yang's heart is soft, she only thinks that Xue Lan is still waiting for Shen Junxi, and every time she says Xue Lan is good in front of her son, telling him to treat Xue Lan well in the future.

Shen Junxi saw too many human feelings, so he didn't take Yang's words seriously.The matter between him and Xue Lan probably won't come to fruition.Xue Lan's family is one of the richest households in Chashan Village, and they were able to engage in marriage with the Shen family because Shen Junxi could read.

Now Shen Junxi's voice is bad, the imperial examination is hopeless, and he has the reputation of a scholar all his life, and he can't accomplish anything.The Xue family will definitely not allow Xue Lan to marry again, otherwise it will not be delayed until today.

Only his silly parents thought that Xue Lan hadn't married because they didn't save enough money, and when they saved enough money, it would definitely happen.

Thinking about these things, Shen Junxi's clear eyes were rarely blurred. He was not sad because he couldn't marry Xue Lan, but because of those silly parents.And he is working hard to live a better life, trying not to let his parents be ridiculed and ridiculed.

"Okay, let's go in and rest, mother still wants to show off the petals, so I won't nag you anymore." Mrs. Yang urged him to go to sleep.

Shen Jun used sign language to persuade Yang not to embroider too late, as it would hurt her eyes.

"I see, you go quickly." Yang nodded and said.

Shen Junxi also nodded, but stayed with Yang for a while before getting up and going in to rest.Taking off his coat and sitting on the simple bed, looking at this dark and old hut, he felt ashamed of the flash of thought in his mind.

The family is poor, and he is not thoughtful, so he might as well think about how to live a good life when he has time, instead of thinking about those wild daydreams.

The joyful scene at dusk is just like... a rosy glow in this old house, don't remember it too well, it's enough to take it out and think about it once in a while.

I was really tired today, Shen Junxi fell asleep not long after lying down, and slept until dawn.

When he got up in the morning, his father was waiting for him in the yard with a basket on his back. When he saw him, he smiled and said, "Brother Xi came back last night?"

Shen Junxi smiled and gestured in sign language, Shen Dongming waved his hand: "Go wash up, let's go quickly."

After washing up, I went to the tea garden with my father to pick tea.It takes about a quarter of an hour from home to the tea garden. The tea garden of their family is connected with the tea garden of the big guy, and the villagers who pick tea can be seen from a distance.After Shen Dongming's family separated from the original family, they lived in a remote part of the village. They were not familiar with the few families on the left and right.

One is because Shen Dongming is honest and won't come to trouble, and the other is that Yang's is equally honest, and she can only be bullied among the women. In short, his family has always been quite inconspicuous in the village.If it wasn't for Shen Junxi, the villagers wouldn't even know that Shen Dongming was parted from the big family of the Shen family in Chashan Village. It's a pity that the only hope, Shen Junxi, is also silent, and there is nothing special about his family.

Shen Dongming is well aware of the situation in his own home, and when he meets friendly villagers, he grins and says hello, and when he meets crooked people, he concentrates on picking tea and ignores them.

It was not long after dawn at this time, and the tea leaves were still covered with dew, making the leaves appear fresh and tender green.They stopped picking when the sun was stronger, and the two came back to have breakfast with a full basket on their backs.

Shen Dongming was talking to Shen Junxi with great interest before, but he stopped talking when he saw the people in the yard, and his face suddenly became embarrassed.Because that person is the head of the Xue family, Xue Xin, and his wife Chen.

"Brother Shen, are you back from picking tea?" Xue Xin smiled authentically. He couldn't tell that he had had conflicts with the Shen family before, and he was very amiable. big."

Shen Dongming couldn't wait for him to embarrass his son, so he forced a smile and said, "Brother Xue, why don't you come in and sit in the room?"

Mrs. Chen said, "We didn't come to your house for tea, so we don't need to go in and sit."

At this time, Yang Shi stood aside cautiously, wanted to speak but didn't know how to speak, so she could only look at her husband and son.

Shen Dongming said: "In this case, sister-in-law of the Xue family might as well tell you something, we just listen." Like Yang, he has a premonition, and the son Shen Junxi who is most worried is his son. We only hope that he will not be too sad.

Xue Xin glared at Mrs. Chen indiscriminately, and said with a smile to the Shen family: "Actually, this is the case. Brother Shen, remember that girl of my family. After so many years, that girl of my family has also grown up. A while ago she My aunt introduced a family, the magistrate Bo's family in our county, what do you think of this family, brother Shen?"

Shen Dongming opened his mouth, and said dryly: "Master Bo, that's naturally good." It's better than their poor, tinkling family, ten thousand times better.

Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "I just said it's good. It's the head of our family who wants to ask you what you mean. You also know that our head of the family used to be optimistic about your brother Xi, but the world is unpredictable. My Lan'er didn't That blessing. Now that her aunt has taken care of this for her, we can't stop it, I just hope you don't think my family looks down on brother Xi."

Shen Dongming bit his head and nodded, he didn't want to hear any more, he just hoped that the woman and her man would leave quickly, "That's just a verbal agreement, your girl can marry wherever she wants, don't come to us to say These words." He is Brother Xi's father, and he should have pointed at Xue Xin's nose and scolded him for being snobby.But so what if you scold him, Brother Xi still won't be able to marry Xue Lan, and will only provoke Chen's foul language.

Shen Junxi silently held his father's big hands, which were covered with thick calluses for him.Shen Junxi will never blame his parents, he only has gratitude and love.

Chen said: "It's best for you to think like this. I'm just in case. After all, the status of the man's family is different, and he pays great attention to his reputation. I don't want someone to mess around with the marriage contract one day. Say. Hehe, it’s not that people in your family talk nonsense, it’s because you’re afraid that others will gossip about you, so if you meet such a person in the future, please ask your Shen family to explain it clearly to them. What about this person..."

Xue Xin still had a conscience, pulled Chen Shi and said, "Just explain the matter clearly, what are you doing here, let's go back."

The Shen family didn't keep them. Although only Shen Junxi had a bad voice, it seemed like the whole family had a bad voice, and no one could speak.

Shen Junxi took one of them with each hand and forcibly pulled them into the house.Then he put down the basket, turned around and went into the kitchen to bring out breakfast, slowly set it on the table, comforted his parents with firm and peaceful eyes, and brought food for his parents.

"Brother Xi..." Yang said with reddened eyes, it's all because of them being parents, it's useless for others to bully them, but they can only pretend to be dumb and can't do anything.

Shen Junxi shook his head, it's okay, he doesn't care.

Shen Dongming said to his son: "Don't be sad, just leave after retiring. His family is not the only one with daughters in the world." It is said that it is really difficult to find a girl in this age. It is lucky to meet one. Most parents like it. Marrying their daughters high, there are very few who can stay in the countryside to get married. He looked at Shen Junxi with a guilty conscience and said: "It's no big deal if there is no girl, we can marry a handsome boy, don't you think?"

I don't know if Brother Xi of his family likes boys or not, girls are rare these days, and some who don't like boys can only marry a boy and go home to live.Although the child was born, it was noisy and restless, and it looked unhappy.

Shen Junxi patted Shen's father's hand, signaling everyone to eat quickly, it's not good if the food is cold.The matter of marrying a daughter-in-law is not urgent. To tell the truth that his parents are worried, he has no idea about marrying a daughter-in-law, not at all.

He doesn't know yet that a marriage that will shock the entire Chashan Village and even the entire Lihua Town will fall on him soon.
