Everyone woke up after listening to the third brother's words, the older one, thinking about that Lin Dawei, would get together with his ruffian friends in the future, and he had to brag a few words: "You powderheads, what is Sister Yao, where can you compare to the little lady of the Xia family, with smooth skin and tender flesh." ”

If someone else asks, he will smile mysteriously, and only say that you know why the nephew of the Xia family beat me. In this way, the matter is seven or eight points realized. It's not that he really wants to practice Xiaoyu like this, it's just that he is a little quick to talk among his friends. Partiality is the most difficult thing to fiddle with, such as being harmful to others and not benefiting oneself.

The fifth brother naturally listened to and saw a lot in the yamen. It's just that if you speculate from this, you want to deal with him, and you feel a little ruthless. But if you leave your hands alone, sooner or later some dirty words that are not conducive to Xiaoyu will come out. At that time, the more fierce the Xia family became, the worse Xiaoyu's reputation became, and it was unreasonable.

Xiaoyu is still small at this time, and it is not a big deal to look at it, and everyone only says that Lin Da is not. When you get older in the future, when you want to talk about family affairs, you have to let people say such gossip, but it will hurt your reputation. Therefore, since ancient times, regardless of this woman, she is the righteous gentleman, but if you make a mistake by half a step and get involved with those scoundrels, you can't tell if you want to be innocent.

The sixth brother, the seventh brother and the younger ones of Rushan heard them say this, but they were so angry that they immediately wanted to copy the guy and go to the Lin family, shouting that they would beat him half to death, so that he would know how powerful the Xia family was. The sixth brother is especially serious, this recklessness has not protected his sister, he feels guilty, and almost wants to rush out to find Na Lin Da. The loss is as steady as the sea: "I'm afraid that he didn't think about it, but he would be resentful, and he would pour some sewage on his little aunt's head more and more." ”

Although Xiaoyu didn't understand it at first, she figured it out seven or eight points at this moment, and she was angry and aggrieved for a while: "I was just licked by a fly, why is it a piece of now?" ”

Xia Xiucai was very distressed when she saw it, and sighed: "Today, even if Xiaoyu fights with the Wang brothers, it will be fine." The so-called would rather offend a gentleman than a villain. The children of the Wang family and the Zhao family also grew up under my watch, and their character is trustworthy. Even if the two families fight each other in the future, you don't have to worry about them talking nonsense. "I thought to myself, what kind of thing is this, it's really a toad jumping on its feet, it doesn't bite but it is disgusting.

Everyone nodded secretly when they heard this, and they knew that Lin Da was really cheap, and he was afraid that it would be a matter of time before he said it. At that time, the Xia family will not be investigated, nor will it be investigated, and everyone will have a big headache for a while.

Old Xia Pozi stroked her forehead and sighed again: "It's a shame that Xiaoyu is making up nonsense today." ”

Xia Xiucai also sighed, stood up with a deep groan, and looked at his sons: "I don't want Xiaoyu to suffer from this gossip, you have a way." But he didn't ask them, but asked his brothers to settle the matter.

Brother Xia looked at each other and shook his head. The sixth brother thought about it for a long time, and he didn't have any good ideas except to beat that pickled goods to death.

When Mrs. Xia heard this, she was taken aback, and felt that it was a little too much, although it was possible to be talked about in the future, but after all, the people in this township didn't care much, and everyone lived in a village, and this character was in the daily trivialities. It's not bad for one or two pieces, and I'm about to refute it.

The fifth brother has already said: "That Lin Da has also done those bad things of stealing chickens and dogs, but it is not a major crime of killing people and overselling goods, and everyone does not care about him, if you really want to rectify him, it is not difficult." It's just better to send him away in the next few days. He had just been beaten, and he was still a little afraid. If a few more days pass, the scar will be healed and the pain will be forgotten. It's inevitable to go out and show off, or talk to his fox friends and dogs. If you really want to move him, you have to rush before that, otherwise you don't have to worry about it. ”

Xiao Xia asked again: "Then Lin Dake can read?" ”

Fourth Brother Xia heard this and shook his head: "I can't even write my name." ”

The fifth brother looked at his mother and nodded knowingly.

Mrs. Xia asked again, "Is there any way to deal with the widow?" Otherwise, in a few years, Lin Da will come back, and it just so happens that Xiaoyu is almost an adult, so I'm afraid that there will be trouble again. ”

The third sister-in-law couldn't help but shudder in her heart when she heard that her mother-in-law wanted to never suffer from future troubles. Thinking that she runs a liquor store in the city, I haven't heard of any dirty things in the backyard of that big family. When she heard it, she only had to chant Buddha in her heart, and her mother-in-law was such a country woman, so she dared to think about it? Still dare to do it?

The fifth sister-in-law saw her mother-in-law's eyes fall on her, and hurriedly said: "I know a few women from other places, I can sell her far away, or find someone to hire to go to the inaccessible mountains." But it can also leave no trace. ”

The widow of Nalin is only thirty-four or five years old, and if she is hired far away, she will have another child in the future, where can she take care of Lin Da again.

Xiao Xia looked at the fifth sister-in-law and nodded: "This is a good idea." ”

When Mrs. Xia heard this, it wasn't a hurtful act. I think that if the widow can find a proper family to marry, it is better than relying on a son now, and they will be tossed.

After some deliberation, everyone rested.

Only during the light rain period, Ai Ai rubbed to her mother's side: "Tomorrow, do you still have to go to school?" ”

"Do you want to go on it yourself?"

Xiaoyu's experience in this short day was quite ups and downs, although she was angry, she didn't expect so many things to happen later. Listening to his mother's meaning, he also asked his brothers to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. I felt a little timid in my heart, and I didn't want to go to school anymore. But after all, he is a child, and he is a little reluctant in his heart, and wants to ask for some ideas from Mrs. Xia.

"Your father is that gentleman, you don't have to worry about it. Decide for yourself tomorrow morning. Looking at her daughter's chubby little face, there was a little cowardice in her grievances, and her heart softened, so she still added a sentence. I think that many people in the world died in bed, but they didn't sleep when they didn't see any of them. ”

Xiao Yuben dragged his steps to his room, and when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately his eyes turned red: "Mother, I'll still sleep with you, let's die together." ”

Xiao Xia was suffocated, why did she soften her heart.

But Xia Xiucai heard it, and she was distressed. took Xiaoyu over, telling ancient times and jokes, coaxing Xiaoyu to laugh before falling asleep.

The next day, Xiaoyu was still hesitating, and Ruhai shouted outside the door: "Little aunt, little aunt hurry up." ”

So he got off the slope and the donkey went to school with a twist.

When they arrived at school, the Wang brothers and the Zhao brothers had "secrets" because they had done "bad things" together, and they were very enthusiastic about meeting at this time. You hit me, I'll push you, and I won't mention yesterday's incident. When it was time to get out of school, more than a dozen people in Hula automatically surrounded Xiaoyu and went home together. laughing like this, Xiaoyu no longer bothered about it.

But at home, Xiao Xia's mother-in-law followed the fifth brother in the room and said: "There are so many children in the family, only you and the second brother can take care of things." ”

The fifth brother smiled: "A few younger brothers, the nephew is still young, and I can't see anything at this time." ”

Mrs. Xiao Xia deliberately left everyone in the family yesterday, just to see everyone's actions. Otherwise, you can only discuss with the fifth brother alone, "Alas! Xiao Xia sighed: "Your third sister-in-law, you have to watch it in the future." Don't let her go to a dead end, I'm afraid she will drag down the third brother. ”

Yesterday, when discussing how to clean up the Lin family, the third sister-in-law was very frightened on her face, and she didn't know what private matters she thought of. She is already bold and strong, if she thinks about things that damage yin and bad morality, she is still afraid once or twice. If she is forced into a corner, it is hard to guarantee that she will not start. But she doesn't have the ability to end it, but I'm afraid that she will hurt her family in the future.

asked the fifth brother about his future plans: "Do you really want to take the road of the imperial examination?" ”

The fifth brother is now quite able to call the wind and rain in this small county. The third brother and third sister-in-law took up a lot of his light because they lived in the city, and now the wine shop is getting bigger and bigger, and they have also opened several branches. Although the third sister-in-law is inevitably compared with the fifth sister-in-law in private, she is also convinced.

The fifth brother nodded: "Well, I have made up my mind, and my father-in-law is also willing to support it." "This imperial examination, if you are satisfied with a county and a county order, it is not difficult, if the fifth brother wants to, it will be done a long time ago.

But if you want to make a big difference, you can't cut off without money and connections. Not to mention that there is a spring in the middle of the lift, that is, the spring is a jinshi, and when the officials are elected, there is no money and no one, so they can only go to the barren small county town. has worked hard all his life, but it is better for the fifth brother to be a bookkeeper in his own land.

Thinking that in Fengxiang County, the county lord is the official of the flowing water, but he is the iron-clad secretary. Many businessmen also know that instead of flattering the county master, they don't have to do some work to deal with him.

This year, my father-in-law's old club has entered Beijing, although the grade is not high, in the end he is already a Beijing official. It is also the Ministry of Officials who is in charge of the fat difference in the assessment and recruitment of officials, as long as the fifth brother can be admitted to the Jinshi, there is no big problem with his future future. Besides, Lord Liu's daughter also married into a family in the capital

, I heard that it is the third son of the Ministry of Rites' family.

The fifth sister-in-law has followed her father for many years, and she has not been filial to this Lord Liu and Miss Liu, and the relationship is extremely harmonious. After Miss Liu got married, she also felt that she was missing an arm by her side, and tried her best to persuade the fifth brother to take the imperial examination.

Xiao Xia sighed: "I can think of who will replace you." ”

The fifth brother looked at his mother and smiled: "Mother, take whichever one is good." ”

Mrs. Xiao Xia also smiled: "Your sister-in-law has been working hard for so many years, and it is time to be relaxed." "Brother Xia gave up the imperial examination in order for the younger brothers below to study, and the daughter-in-law he married was not very satisfactory. Now that Ruhai has replaced the fifth brother to the county government to do the book office, the debt in Xiao Xia's heart can be reduced.

The fifth brother nodded and said, "Ruhai is a steady governor, but it is foolproof to teach him." After the New Year, I took him to the yali to walk around, and after a year or two, he came out. I'm also going to calm down and get ready for autumn. ”

Mrs. Xiao Xia narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was imagining the prosperity of the capital. sighed: "This step out, there is no way back." ”

The fifth brother smiled, looking at Xiao Xia Pozi's light demeanor.

discussed the future of the sixth brother again, but secretly told the fifth brother that he wanted to catch fast.

When Mrs. Xiao Xia heard this, she smiled and said: "The road is uneven, everyone steps on it, and he can't see the injustice in the world when he was young." This is also in line with his character. ”

The fifth brother couldn't help but think of the sixth brother when he was a child, and he craned his neck and shouted to his father: "It's not fair, I'm so young but I have to write as many words as my brothers." Or argue with his mother: "Why do my brothers only get such a small slice of melon?" "The sister-in-law who cut the melon has a headache.

"I've been through some things over the years, and your brother has frustrated him a lot. Xiaoyu's matter is also a grind for him. You should pave the way for him, too, it will be easier than if you were cheeky then. ”

Mrs. Xiao Xia looked sideways at the sunshine outside the window and thought to herself: "People's hearts are insufficient!" "How good it would be to guard this small county like this, thinking and thinking about what you can see and reach in front of you! Alas! Children and grandchildren always have their own children and grandchildren! It's herself, isn't it: she's already very happy, but she always thinks that the children should be safer.
