The family uncle who took care of the Xu family and their two children was named Chu Zongsheng, who was Chu Zongzhao's distant cousin.According to the ranking in the clan, Xiu Ying would call him Fourth Uncle.

After receiving the letter from Xuan Ying, Fourth Uncle Xuan felt a little strange at first. Obviously, the old aunt was crying when she came to her house, and she only said that after her son left, the daughter-in-law could not tolerate her, so why did she send someone to pick her up now?It's fine if you just come to pick up people and go away, but how do you plan to deal with this property?

Land property is something that cannot be taken away, but it is the property of the clan brother after all, and his sons and daughters of course have the right to dispose and distribute it. Who is it not to plant?Another thing is that it is impossible to sell these fields, because they are bought in the name of the family sacrifice land, which can avoid taxes; as for why they think that someone will take back the fields, it is because of Uncle Chu, he has a guilty conscience!

Originally, he thought that the old aunt was sent back by his daughter-in-law after the clan brother died, and she would never leave here even if she died of old age, so he was just superficial to this old aunt from the beginning, and didn't want anyone to talk about it. That's all.He won the land, and many people in the clan were jealous, so he had to coax Mrs. Xu and let others see that he was actually good to Mrs. Xu.

And his wife is an ignorant village woman who only knows how to be frugal and frugal. , he just pretended not to hear it, and he didn't have to quarrel because of outsiders. It's not worth it.Besides, her own son is gone, this old woman still wants to put a seedling on her head, why can't she put on the old lady's spectrum?

Not to mention the two little ones, as long as they don't starve to death.There are five or six sons and daughters in his own family, and they usually save what they can, wear the big clothes and wear the small ones, and patch after patch at the end, and when the patches are polished, they simply expose their arms, legs and buttocks.The two children of the clan brother Tuogu, he thinks that he is looking at them as his own, and his own can wear them, why can't they wear them?They are all surnamed Xi, could it be that the sons and daughters of clan brothers are more noble?

If the clan brothers were still there, they should of course be the young masters and ladies of the rich, but now that the clan brothers are dead, how can they be different from their own children?Whether or not the youngest son is allowed to read and write in the future depends on his mood!

At the beginning, Mrs. Xu also told the tribe that her adopted son and daughter-in-law were not filial and disrespectful to her, and she also told people how bad they were to their nephews and nieces. She was watching; the old relatives who were close to her and flattered her in the past turned a deaf ear to her and treated her indifferently, even though the dozen or so families around here belonged to the surnamed clan.

Probably everyone has this mentality, which is called hating others and laughing at others.Xi Zongzhao relied on the land to support the orphans, and this big pie did not fall on their heads, which has already made many people feel unbalanced; Xie Zongzhao has no direct brothers, and these clansmen are separated from each other. These people are almost the same. How can they be convinced that Xie Zongzhao chose this Chu Laosi who is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but has a masterful eye but a low hand?

Everyone flattered Mrs. Xu before because she gave birth to a good son. Some nephews might still hope to find a future through Xiu Zongzhao, but now that Xu Zongzhao is dead, what else can this old woman have to curry favor with?

Therefore, for more than a year, Mrs. Xu has not only endured hardships and endured anger, but can also be said to have seen the warmth and coldness of human relationships.She has to cry from time to time, crying for her dead son, lamenting that she was given away by a white-haired man to a black-haired man; and she has to devote all her energy to taking care of her two grandchildren, and her health is worsening day by day.

There are two children, and the granddaughter is almost five years old. Although she is thin and delicate, she is still healthy; but this only precious grandson really makes her worry.This child is going to be sick every few days, and when he is sick, he will have a bad breath, his complexion is pale and blue, and he looks very weak.

The adopted son and daughter-in-law, Son Sun, are fierce and tough, and extremely stupid. As soon as Yuanlin fell ill and asked for medical advice, she began to criticize Sang and Huai, saying that there were many poplar trees on the Qingfeng Ridge, and there were no half-sized tombs; He sees the sky pouring some bitter medicine soup, which makes the house smell of medicine everywhere. He wants to bring Qi and his family over the sickness, and at the same time scold him for being a foolish man, a bastard, and that his mother and child are not enough to eat. , and brought these bereaved broom stars to the house, which made Mrs. Xu teary with anger.

Mrs. Xu also thought about going back to Jinling and begging her daughter-in-law well. After all, she was from a rich family, and her face was decent. The concubine killed his wife and sowed disaster.

However, Xuanying's letter only said that she would pick up her grandmother and younger brothers and sisters back to Jinling. As for why she came to pick her up, when she would come, and how to deal with the land here after they were picked up, there was no certainty. Mutter.

When Chu Ying and his party suddenly appeared in the big courtyard of the Xu family, it is conceivable that Zongsheng Xuan was still panicked, especially when he saw that although Chu Ying was dressed in plain white silk, it could be seen that it was made of excellent material. Wearing silver ornaments all over her head, she looks like the daughter of a wealthy family, and surrounded by servants, especially Liu Xianglian, who is also handsome and noble, standing behind her, Zongsheng Xuan doesn't know where he came from, and is more respectful to Xuanying stand up.

Hastily asked his wife Sun to drag the sick old aunt out of the bed, and hugged Xuan Yuanlin, who was also coughing and wheezing badly, but let it go, and was bullied by his children to the point of crying, including Xuan Ying. Xiu Xiang, the concubine's younger sister, was helping out in the kitchen. She hurriedly found new clothes for them to change into, and forced them to meet the guests in the front hall.

Holding her little grandson Yuan Lin in her arms, followed by Xuan Xiang holding the hem of her clothes, Xu finally met her own granddaughter.When she was young, this second granddaughter was extremely disobedient, and Mrs. Xu did not discipline her less, but when it came time, this granddaughter still traveled thousands of miles and brought so many food and things to visit her.Xu felt very guilty.

She never thought that Xiuying came to pick her up.

Yuan Lin was still young, but Chu Xiang had an impression of her sister, her big eyes flashed, and she seemed to have some spirits, but because she was not sure, she hesitated and dared not come over.

Xuan Ying took a closer look and found that although the three of them were wearing brand new clothes, the folded marks on the clothes were still there, obviously they had just been put on, and the grandmother looked dark and thin with a gloomy expression; The snot and tears on his face have not been wiped clean, and there is still a large bruise on his forehead; his sister Xuan Xiang is relatively in good spirits, but she is very thin, her pale face is still stained with pot bottoms, and she has big eyes. Looking at them, without any expression, they looked a little creepy.

Seeing this, Xiuying knew that the situation of her grandmother and younger siblings was not good here.She was very angry, and almost immediately planned to ask the teacher to question her, but after thinking about it, she still endured it.The younger siblings are still young, so they can't speak or complain, but since the grandmother has met her, what else can't be said clearly? After learning about the situation here, it's not too late to make plans, right?

"Grandmother is always in good health? Are younger siblings alright?" Chu Ying asked calmly, bowing to the couple and grandmother.

Xu's tears welled up all at once, but Chu Yuansheng and his wife were staring at her, and she couldn't say anything.She didn't expect that someone would come to pick her up and leave this ghostly place. She just thought that Chu Ying was here to visit her, and thought what would happen if she told her granddaughter everything; it was just a girl's house, young, If he could vent his anger on himself, it would make those two hate him even more.

After all, I still have to rely on this couple to support my retirement.

"Don't worry, girl, how can it be bad? You can eat and sleep, that's all, and three times a day, you dislike the bad food at home, clamoring to go back to Jinling! Why don't you take them away, girl? I can't afford to pay for this Bodhisattva!" Mrs. Sun deliberately said that if she didn't choke the old woman for a day, she would panic.

Ever since Xuan Yuansheng told her the contents of the letter, Sun wished that the grandparents and grandchildren would leave early. Mrs. Sun is not afraid of such words from his family.She is a used to domineering person, and she thinks that they can't take this land away, so they can only plant it for their own family. After all, their family has raised this young and old for more than a year, so why don't they give it to others?Why!

Seeing Mrs. Xu trembling with anger, Mrs. Sun was inexplicably happy. The wild old woman came to her house to act as an ancestor, so she should be punished like this.Besides, Xu Ying, so what about the official lady from Jinling?

"It's good to teach my fourth aunt to know that this trip is indeed for this purpose. I think my grandmother is not in good health. In such a rural place, there is no good doctor to take care of her. My younger brother and younger sister are getting older. But no one teaches reading etiquette, and in another three to five years, won't you be no different from the girls and boys in your family?" Xiuying looked at the little heads peeking out of the door with a slight mockery, it was Fourth Uncle Xuan's sons and daughters, all with black brows and black mouths, said, "This is something I can't bear to see, so I begged my mother to come here to pick up my grandmother and younger brothers and sisters, which is exactly what Fourth Aunt wanted. Isn't it good?"

Mrs. Sun couldn't understand her words with a gun and a club, and she was very happy for a while, "Young lady is really here to pick them up? It's a good feeling! I'm not talking too much, this old man is on the way, and it's fine if he is not in good health. I don't think the little brother in your family is a good one. He is over two years old, he can't walk very well, and he gets sick every day or so. Our family has paid a lot of money for soup and medicine. Since the girl is rich , why don't you do the math with us?"

Mrs. Xu had been enduring it until Mrs. Sun said that her precious grandson was not useful, and suddenly became angry, "You are a vicious woman who has no control over the door, and you poured your mother's feces, your mouth is so unclean ? My grandson doesn’t count, but you count? One after the other, sooner or later he will go with your elder brother!” Sun’s eldest son died when he was young, and she was also very sad, so this time Xu He went all out and poked her lung tubes.

"Hey, you old man, you don't even dare to let go when you scold you, why, now that you have someone backing you, you dare to throw face at me? Do you think I will be afraid of her? It's just a girl's film I'm still afraid of her when you talk about beating and scolding? Wait a minute, I'll tear your mouth apart today!" As Sun said, she rolled up her sleeves early, walked a few steps quickly, and grabbed Xu's arm with her pocket. The front of the skirt is about to be knocked down with a raised hand.

As early as when Sun rolled up his sleeves, Zhou Feng approached them under the signal of Xiuying. At this time, Sun raised his hand, and he was firmly held by him, and then he threw it aside fiercely, pushing Sun away. staggered.

Mrs. Sun is a shrew, and one of the shrew's specialties is stalking, if she misses a hit, she immediately pounces on her again.She has a tough temper, and ordinary men and women in the village dare not provoke her. At this time, she stopped chasing and beating Mrs. Xu who was being supported by Zhou Feng. What are you talking about, the general idea is that Xiu Ying is a girl herself, and she has no skills, so she knows to support her with a wild man, and now she still makes people beat up her elders, how can this be, this is because her father died early and no one taught her to make trouble, today She needs to be disciplined.

Xiuying grew up under Zheng's slap, so of course she knew how to avoid it, she flexibly lowered her head, and at the same time, Sun's big slap fell into the air, and it was about to slap Liu Xianglian standing behind her On her body, Liu Xianglian was not polite, just heard a crisp sound, and a big ear scraper slapped her to the ground.

Rao Liu Xianglian had already withdrawn her strength, but he was a martial arts practitioner. With this slap, Sun's hair suddenly became loose, half of her face swelled up, and she collapsed on the ground, unable to utter a word; Xiu Ying was taken aback, and asked Liu Xianglian in a low voice, "Will you break her?"

"What? Do you think I'm troublesome?" Liu Xianglian frowned.

"That's not true," Xuan Ying said hastily, "I still want to thank you for your help! I'm afraid that you will be heavy-handed, and it won't be good for her to have something wrong." At this time, there is no need to be a saint.

Xuan Zongsheng on the side wanted to help, but seeing how powerful Liu Xianglian was, he didn't dare to go forward, so he hurriedly helped Mrs. Sun up from the ground, and at the same time scolded Xuanying, "Second girl, how do you say that?" ? Our husband and wife serve the old aunt wholeheartedly, and help you take care of your younger brothers and sisters. Is this a crime? Now that you are ungrateful and beat your aunt like this, you are not afraid of me suing the officials? You disobeyed the elders, you It's treason!"

Xuan Ying sneered, "Just right, I was afraid you wouldn't go! When we get to the official, let's talk about it first. Let's talk about how you disobeyed your aunt first! Since you are unrighteous first, then I will I also need to ask the official, can this sacrificial field be taken care of by you!"

I don't want Xiu Zongzhao to show no weakness, "Go and go! You can think about it clearly, I have friendship with the people in Suiyang County. I just want witnesses. People in our clan, do you think they will just watch? You snatched the sacrificial field? The little girl’s wings haven’t hardened yet, so she dares to challenge me? And your aunt was beaten, if she wants to have something good or bad, I’ll never end with you!”
