When it was time for lunch, Xiao Yuan went home leisurely.

Then, the village was full of his legends.

What was passed around changed in its form.

Many people say that Xiao Yuan has a master who is the champion, and he has learned the ability to kill the enemy on the horse, and he can write earth-shattering articles with a pen.

Another legend is that in order to prevent Xiao Yuan from participating in the imperial examination, Old Man Xiao once ruthlessly broke his legs.

Others said that Mrs. Xiao was partial to the big house, knowing that Xiao Yuan was going to take the exam, she deliberately drugged his meal the day before, which made him have a serious illness, so he didn't dare to take the exam again.

Anyway, within a day's effort, there were several versions of this word.

Someone in the village said again, Xiao Lao Wu is not good to Xiao Lao Wu, Xiao Lao Wu's family is angry, Xiao Lao Wu has no choice but to go to Xiao Yuan to cry, and wants to borrow money to build a few rooms and divide them out, but Xiao Yuan has no money or anything.

Xiao Yin was playing outside, and she heard several versions, and was called over by the people in the village to ask her: "Yin girl, does your father look down on your family?"

Xiao Yin blinked: "Uncle, I don't know, I'm young, and my father never let us talk about my grandma, I really don't know, I just remember that when we were in the house, the meal was cold every time we ate, or came to Nanyi, so that our family could eat hot rice." ”

Yes, Old Man Xiao's partiality has become a foregone conclusion.

The people in the village are idle now, and there is the gossip and tongue chewing behind the back, saying that Old Man Xiao can be so ruthless to his own son, it can be seen that he is poisonous, but he can't deal with him, maybe he will be pitted by him at any time.

Some people also say that he is the grandfather of the old country, who has rolled in the officialdom in Beijing, and he has more eyes, and the people in our village are honest and straightforward, where can they compare to others, let's stay away, don't deal with him, and don't offend him, otherwise I am afraid that it will bring disaster to the family.

When Xiao Yin heard these words, she ran back to tell Xiao Yuan.

"Dad, the people in the village say that my father is ruthless and vicious, and he can't deal with him. ”

Xiao Yuan smiled, and then picked up a piece of bacon sent by Zhang Sanjia, called Xiao Yin and said, "Let's go, let's send some meat to your grandmother." ”

The father and daughter carried a small piece of bacon in the village and walked leisurely towards the residence of the big house.

Because Xiao Yin is young, she naturally walks slowly, and Xiao Yuan pulls her and walks very slowly.

As he walked, he met someone who asked him what he was doing and said, "It's not that someone sent a piece of bacon, I just thought that my father and mother didn't know how long it had been since they had eaten meat, so I sent it to them." ”

Xiao Yin took Xiao Yuan's hand, her eyes were full of tears: "Dad, I also want to eat meat, can you leave a piece for me and my brother?"

Xiao Yuan lowered his face: "What to eat, your grandmother hasn't eaten yet, where is your share, what kind of meat does the little girl eat." ”

The tears in Xiao Yin's eyes kept falling: "Dad, I haven't smelled meat for a long time." ”

"If you want to cry again, go home. ”

Xiao Yuan's face was stiff and reprimanded Xiao Yin: "You can't cry when you go to your grandmother, or I won't take you there." ”

Xiao Yin hurriedly held back her tears: "Dad, I won't cry anymore, I'll go with you." ”

So, the person who met Xiao Yuan said in private: "Xiao Yuan is really filial, a small piece of meat is worried about sending it to his father and mother, and the wife and children at home are afraid that they won't leave a mouthful, which is also a bit too sincere." ”

Xiao Yuan just carried a small piece of meat and walked half the village before he reached the big house.

When he entered the door, he greeted Old Man Xiao: "Dad, you have been in good health recently, no, someone gave me a piece of meat, so I sent it to you, and asked my sister-in-law to make food for you and my mother, so as to replenish your body." ”

Old man Xiao was angry at this moment, and when he saw Xiao Yuan coming, he naturally didn't have a good face: "No need, we can't afford to eat your meat, you can take it back quickly." ”

Old Man Xiao also listened to the gossip in the village, and knew that his reputation had made Xiao Yuan worse, and he didn't like this son very much.

Xiao Yuan put down the meat: "Dad, is it my eldest brother and second brother who have made you angry again, if you want to live here, then go back with me, I have a bite to eat, and I will definitely not be hungry for you and my mother, you see......"

Old Man Xiao was angry, took a teacup and threw it at Xiao Yuan: "You bastard, you get out of Lao Tzu, get out of ......"

"Master, don't hit my father. ”

Xiao Yin hurriedly rushed over to block the teacup, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered.

Xiao Yuan stretched out his hand to hug Xiao Yin: "Yin'er, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so bad, wake up, wake up." ”

Xiao Yin's eyes were open, and when she heard Xiao Yuan say to wake her up, she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious.

Xiao Yuan hurriedly ran out with Xiao Yin in his arms, shouting as he ran: "Dad, I know you're angry with me, but Yin'er is still young, you can't send the fire to her, how can you do it with such a little child." ”

He just ran out the door.

Old Man Xiao woke up and knew that he had been calculated again, and when he wanted to stop Xiao Yuan, he had already run away.

In fact, Xiao Yin was not injured, but the clothes on her body were stained with water and looked wet.

But Xiao Yuan ran fast with her in his arms, and shouted as he ran: "Yin'er, hold on, let's go home and let your mother get you medicine, you have to hold on, Yin'er, you must not have anything to do." ”

The people who lived close to the big house said: "Look, it must be that Old Man Xiao beat Xiao Yuan and his daughter again, look at Yin'er is also pitiful, how old a person is to be beaten like this." ”

Some women chattered: "I just saw that Yin'er's clothes are wet, you said that you wouldn't let Old Man Xiao take hot water to burn it." ”

"I can't prepare it. ”

Xiao Yin asked Xiao Yuan to take her back and stay at home for a few days, and the people in the village said that Yin'er must have made her father beat her very lightly, no, she couldn't get out of the door.

An Ning didn't have a smile on her face when she went out, anyway, she had a sad face, and she didn't say anything others asked, which made people even more guessful.

Of course, it also confirms that Sanfang is not treated well and is often abused.

When Li Zheng heard about this, he ran to find Old Man Xiao.

He had a good talk with Mr. Xiao, and said that Mr. Xiao should not be so partial, they are all his sons, the eldest and the third are all descendants, the third is obviously more capable and filial than the boss, if the old man Xiao is like this, the third family will be cold, and he will regret it in the future.

This incident made Old Man Xiao's face go up and down, anyway, he lost his face, and he was even more angry in his heart.

He turned around and said to the old lady: "The third family is too good, they don't have us as a father and mother in their hearts, in the future, we can't go to the third family anymore, no matter what happens, we can't go to the third family, otherwise, we don't know how they died." ”

The old lady also felt that it was very right, and she also made up her mind, anyway, if she didn't deal with the third family, she would die with the boss.

But can the boss tolerate them?

Xiao Jue can tolerate it, but Zhao can't tolerate it.

The valuables hidden by the old lady are in Zhao's hands, and the old lady is useless, the old couple is old, it hurts, anyway, they often get sick, and Zhao has to spend money to get them medicine, and they have to get better clothes, and they have to make good meals.

If this is in the Guogong Mansion, the Zhao family will not say anything, but now it is the countryside, and the silver in the Zhao family's hand is also counted, and there is not much left after building a house, and there will be more things at home in the future, and this silver can't stand the flowers.

In addition, there is no entry in the second and fifth rooms of the big house, and the silver is only in and out, which is not a long-term way.

The Zhao family was in a hurry, and he couldn't look down on the old man and the old lady.

She lay down with Xiao Jue at night to discuss: "It's not okay, even if we divide the sect, but the old man is also the pro-Lao Tzu of the third room, and he didn't let our family support the elderly, let's spend money to bring the old couple to Nanyi, and when we get to the ground, the matter of providing for the elderly should be managed by the third room." ”

Xiao Jue turned over: "You go and say this, I can't say it." ”

Zhao took out the account book and showed it to Xiao Jue: "Look at how much money is still in our family's account, this can't stand the spending, are you willing to go out to work as a liba to make money, or are you willing to farm? If you don't want to, we have to think of the two old expenses, as soon as they leave, we can save a lot of expenses." ”
