Xu Zheng raised his head from the book and glanced at his eldest sister lightly: "What's wrong?"

Xu Xiu choked for a moment, he didn't expect the family to make such a big fuss, and his brother didn't even know anything: "The second room is making trouble to separate from us, and my grandfather doesn't allow it, but my father and mother seem to have made up their minds, and they asked people to invite their aunt and grandmother to come over and testify!"

Xu Zheng frowned: "Okay, how did this get into trouble? If it's just a little quarrel, where will it get to this point?"

Xu Xiu smiled bitterly, who doesn't know that it was just a little quarrel? Not to mention the nearly one-year filial piety career, that is, when the family was in a good situation in the past, there was no quarrel between the long room and the second room, but in most cases, it was the grandmother Mrs. Xu who was in charge and suppressed it, and the second room never resisted. Who would have thought that these quarrels have really developed to the point of separation?

She briefly explained to Xu Zheng what happened at home in the past two days, and sighed: "In the final analysis, it was actually caused by my mother protecting my brother and my second aunt protecting my brother." Just because her mother was confused for a while, she calculated that Brother Rong failed to participate in the children's exam, and the second aunt held a grudge. Even if an aunt and grandmother come forward to make peace, it seems that the face has passed, and the resentment in my heart has not disappeared, so I must find a reason to vent it. And the mother felt that the second aunt was mean when she said that you were gossiping, and she refused to give in, and the two sides quarreled fiercely. But the Xu family has never mentioned breaking up for so many years. If it is really divided, then this family will really be scattered! It is difficult to support it alone, and my grandfather is in this situation now...... If we even divide the second room, how will our family survive?"

The key thing is that the separation is not just about moving out of the second room. The family industry, the second room must also have a share, the second room has a small population, and the Grange shop where Xu Er's wife and Xu Er's grandmother married have a lot of output, which is more than enough to support the second room, and the extra part can also be subsidized for the family. Without this part of the money and food, can the long house be able to bear it?

In the past rain disaster, the grange in the Xu family and the long-term Mrs. Xu and Grandma Xu's dowry Zhuangzi were all damaged, and this year's autumn harvest is only afraid that it will be nearly half of the income. Subtract the part of the subsidy for the second room, and the money in the public will definitely be tightened. Even if there are still some savings in previous years, the family will have a happy event in the long house after filial piety, and he and his sister have reached the age of marriage, and the dowry or something can't be too simple. And when his brother Xu Zheng won the Jinshi, he had to spend money to select officials...... Everywhere there is a place to spend money.

There is also Xu Rong, who has a second room, is about to marry the Chengenhou Mansion. In the past, because of his brother Xu Zheng's family affairs, the Qin family almost fell out with the Xu family's house, but now it is finally possible to use Xu Rong's family affairs to have hope of repair. If the family is separated, this family will be far away from the long house, and the children and grandchildren of the aunt and grandmother of the Qin family are still willing to be close to the Xu family's house, which is really difficult to say. If Changfang can't borrow the help of the Qin family in the future, what will happen to his brother Xu Zheng's future?

Even if Xu Xiu didn't expect his two sisters to rely on the Qin family and climb a good family, he still had to worry about his brother's future. The sister-in-law's mother's family is no longer able to provide assistance to her brother, but she may still have to drag her brother to help him, and if she loses the support of the Qin family, my brother doesn't know how difficult it will be in the future! Even if my aunt and grandmother can help, she is also old, how many years can she help the Xu family?

The more Xu Xiu thought about it, the more worried he became. She hopes that her brother Xu Zheng can come forward to persuade her parents, how can she let them dispel the idea of separating the family. Even if there are constant contradictions and quarrels between the two houses now, as long as they tolerate each other, there is still hope for reconciliation, even if it is just to maintain the harmony on the surface. Even if the second room can't provide much help for the long house, it won't make the situation of the long house worse!

However, Xu Zheng just frowned and said: "This kind of thing, how can I persuade my grandfather to be still here, since his old man does not agree, this matter of splitting the family must be just a trouble, and it is impossible to really divide it." Besides, my aunt and grandmother are coming again, and she will never agree to the separation. Big sister don't have to worry. ”

Xu Xiu sighed: "Even if my grandfather and aunt stopped the separation of the two rooms, the contradictions between my mother, my second uncle and grandmother, and my second aunt are still there, and they don't give in to each other, and the contradictions between the two rooms are incomprehensible, and they will be centrifuged after all." What if you stop it this time, what will you do if you make trouble again next time? Actually, ......" She paused for a moment and said with some difficulty, "The second aunt sometimes speaks a little ugly, but her words can't hurt people, let alone hinder her brother's future, it's just a quick tongue." Seeing her in general will only make her more angry, and it doesn't make sense at all. If only my mother could hold back her anger, it would be fine if she was a deaf ear. The reason why the mother holds a grudge is because the words of the second aunt involve her brother, so she will be particularly intolerable. My brother might as well persuade my mother not to care. You don't care about the second aunt's words, spare what she says, Brother Rong can't compare to you, what is there to be angry with your mother?"

Xu Zheng said: "But my mother is angry with me after all." If you tell me to go and say something like this to her...... Didn't he slap her in the face? I was afraid that my mother would be even more angry. ”

Xu Xiu hurriedly said: "My brother should persuade my mother in private. My father also said that if Brother Rong can really get famous, even if he is just a talent, he can help you in the future and become your help. If it's really separated......"

Xu Zheng shook his head and interrupted his sister's words: "Do I still have to expect Brother Rong to do something? If he can really get fame, it will naturally be his creation, he will seek his own future, what does it have to do with me? I just need to do my best, it is enough." It doesn't make a difference to me whether Brother Rong is willing to give me a hand or not. ”

Xu Xiu was dumbfounded. She actually thinks that Xu Rong still has a little talent for reading, although it is far inferior to Xu Zheng, but a showman can still be examined, work hard, and after ten or eight years, it is not hopeless to lift people. It is very hard for Xu Zheng to support the lintel alone, and it can be easier to have a brother to share his worries. But listening to Xu Zheng's tone, it is obvious that he has been outstanding for too many years, and he never thought that there would be a brother who could share it for him.

Xu Zheng said to his sister again: "I know that the eldest sister is worried about the future of the Xu family and doesn't want the two people to be separated. However, for such a major event, the elders of the two rooms have their own considerations. If my grandfather, father, and mother decided not to separate the family, the family would not be separated, and naturally I would not need to talk too much about my junior. If my grandfather, father, and mother decide to split up, what can I, as a junior, do but support the decision of my elders? Is it just that I can have a brother to help me grow up in the future? I just need to read the book well, and when I take the next subject exam, I can go to high school in one fell swoop, and I will not disappoint the expectations of my elders. As for separating the family, it is not separating...... For me, it's all the same. ”

After splitting the family, it seems that the burden on him can be lighter, because he doesn't need to think about the brother in the second room anymore.

Xu Xiu was stunned when she heard this, stunned for a moment, and wanted to say something more, but Xu Zheng had already waved her hand: "Big sister doesn't need to say much." In such a big matter, where is there room for our juniors to speak? We just need to listen to the arrangements of our elders. Moreover, although you are dedicated to the Xu family, but the second room has the heart to divide the family, even if you and I can convince my father and mother, what is the use? The heart of the second room has been estranged from our long house, and if you force us to stay, you will not contribute to the long house, but you are constantly doing things every day, and the family is not at peace. The earlier the family separated, and each other could live a quieter life. ”

Xu Zheng didn't take Xu Rong's family affairs too seriously. Qin Shutao is in the Chengenhou Mansion, and he is just a small second room, not a family member. Moreover, even without the help of his in-laws, he himself had enough confidence to support the lintel. From the time he married the Lu family, he knew that he had lost the help of the Qin family. Grandmother had an order before she was alive, and he could only obey it. Grandmother and aunt, he must be on his grandmother's side. Since his grandmother believed that this was the right path, he could only move forward with hard work, not delusional, and would always be able to get help from the Qin family.

Xu Zheng stopped talking to his sister and picked up the book again to study. Xu Xiu stood in front of his desk for a long time, and when he saw that he was concentrating and treating himself as nothing, he could only turn around and leave.

She didn't expect her brother to have such an indifferent attitude. Concentrate on preparing for the exam, it can't be said to be wrong, the Xu family also needs Xu Zheng to get ahead and revitalize the family. But...... When people's hearts are scattered, they can no longer be united. If there is one more young talent, will it be possible to revive the Xu family? The Xu family is not a person who has not been promoted as an official! What can one more official represent?

The education Xu Xiu received at home since she was a child made her think about the Xu family wholeheartedly, even if she got married, she couldn't forget her roots. But she is wholeheartedly thinking about the Xu family, but the rest of the Xu family is doing their own thing for personal gain, and even her brother Xu Zheng, who is regarded as the hope of the family, is only immersed in reading and indifferent to such a major event as splitting the family. She is a girl, even if she thinks about the family everywhere, what is the use? My aunt and grandmother are thinking about the Xu family wholeheartedly, and now that even her own children and grandchildren have separated from her, will it bring any benefit to the Xu family?

On the contrary, because of my aunt's grandmother's sincerity to the Xu family, the Qin family is about to hate the Xu family's room!

Xu Xiu had doubted that the quarrel between the second room and the separation of the family had something to do with the Qin family's room? She knew that Xu Rong had gone out of the house to see Qin Jian two days ago, and not long after the meeting, Xu Er's grandmother suddenly quarreled with Grandma Xu. was originally just a small quarrel, but it has developed to the point of separating the family...... Qin Jian hated the Xu family's room for the sake of family affairs, and used family affairs as bait to deliberately provoke them? If so, how much benefit could the second room of the Xu family get from marrying the Qin family?

Xu Xiu smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling that she seemed a little stupid. What does she want to do so much? Auntie and grandmother are not a good example, does she really want to learn from her old man, thinking every day about being the master of the Xu Qin family?

That's it, that's it. Even my brother said that as long as you do your best. So...... She just needs to be herself. Xu Jia...... There are elders and brothers, where can she worry about a junior?

Xu Xiu staggered back to her room, her face pale, she fell on the bed, her head covered by the veil, and she no longer paid attention to the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
