Chapter Seventy-Eight: Succession (Fourth Watch)
Yun Xiang was slightly surprised when she heard the news of Liu Chengquan's death, she thought that Liu Chengquan couldn't stand the blow and committed suicide, just like it was rumored outside. just sighed in her heart, sure enough, it was a cheap person who had his own harvest, she just broke his leg, and she didn't expect him to end his own life.
Yun Xiang doesn't think about whether there is a reason for herself, she is not a little white flower, and she loves to take responsibility for everything. To be honest, Yun Xiang has never ruled out the idea of solving Liu Chengquan's two sons with her own hands.
"Yunxiang, this is ...... What do you think? Liu Chengshuang's heart is indescribably complicated. Liu Chengquan is the youngest, and he is the most capable in the family. So Liu Chengquan didn't worry less when he was a child, and later he worked hard to make money to supply the fourth child to study. So when he knew that Liu Chengquan was going to seek his life and property, in addition to resentment, he was still cold.
Yun Xiang looked at the mourning in Liu Chengshuang's eyes, and couldn't help but sigh, "Dad, are you feeling sorry for someone who wants to kill you?" ”
Liu Chengshuang was stunned for a moment and then shook his head, "I originally hated him a little, but people die like lights go out, and people are gone, so the grievances will be written off." ”
Zhou walked in with Xiaoliu in his arms, and when he saw that the father and daughter were a little silent, he took the initiative to speak, "We have to go to the old mansion too, after all, they are brothers, they are two people with other surnames, and when they encounter something white in someone's house, they will go to a few pieces of paper." ”
Liu Chengshuang knew Zhou's kindness, and nodded homeopathically, "I'll take Yunxiang and Xiao Wu for a trip, and you stay at home to take care of the children." ”
Xiao Wu has never gone to school, not because he can't afford to go to school. Instead, Yun Xiang went to the school to take a look, and the professors there were making a particularly slow progress. The Three Character Sutra only learns a few words a day, if you let the little five with perverted memory sit there every day and grind time. Undoubtedly a waste. Therefore, Xiao Wu's enlightenment was handled by Yunxiang, but the speed was a little slower than Shiro at that time, and there was less homework. Before the end of the world, a seven-year-old child had just put on his schoolbag and was in the first grade, and Yunxiang didn't want him to waste the most carefree time of his childhood. But even so, Xiao Wu has already finished learning what the school has to learn for a year.
"Sister, what are we going to do when we go to the old mansion?" Xiao Wu followed behind Yun Xiang and asked quietly.
Yun Xiang's eyes flashed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, "We're going to mourn." You just don't laugh. ”
The three of them entered the old house, and Liu Chengshuang walked to the accounting table, took out two coins of silver and handed them over with the black cloth he brought. The bookkeeper saw that it was Liu Chengshuang, and whispered, "Third Brother Liu is righteous." ”
Liu Chengshuang smiled stiffly, didn't speak, and only pulled Xiao Wu and Yun Xiang into the group quickly.
In the mourning hall, Cao was kneeling on the ground and crying quietly. They have no children, so Liu Chengquan will not even have a penny at the funeral tomorrow. It looks very unseemly.
Cao Shi saw Xiao Wu, and stopped talking to Liu Chengshuang for a long time, but finally didn't say anything.
Yun Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and she turned her head to look at Liu Chengshuang and Xiao Wu, who hadn't realized anything yet. snorted coldly in her heart, she knew that as long as she came to the old mansion, there would be nothing good! Can be subsequent. Yun Xiang was a little depressed again, could it be true that she couldn't kill this family?
In ancient times. Whether it's a marriage or something, it will depend on whether your family is prosperous or not. Even if you are not rich, if there are many people, you will be looked up to by two points. If this family is all dead, and only Liu Chengshuang's family is left, then many times when everyone mentions them, they will think about whether their family is all dead, or if Yunlian looks for her in-laws in the future, her in-laws will be afraid of bringing this kind of bad luck to their own homes.
"Oh, his third uncle actually came, I really didn't expect it!" As soon as Xiao Wang spoke, his face was full of beatings, "Our mother and father are waiting for you to talk in the upper room, you can go quickly." ”
Liu Chengshuang looked at Yun Xiang, and then walked into the upper room with a sullen head. Almost all the families in the upper room were there, and when Liu Wang's family saw Liu Chengshuang coming in with the child, his head turned away, and he snorted coldly, "Yo, such a rich man came to mourn, I don't know if he took a few hundred taels of silver?" ”
Liu Chengshuang glanced at his mother-in-law and said sullenly, "It's the first time I've heard that condolences require a few hundred taels of silver, it seems that the threshold here is too high, and our family can't afford to climb high, so I'll take the children back." ”
"Come back!" Old man Liu saw that Liu Chengshuang turned around and wanted to leave, so he hurriedly exited to stay, and glared at his old wife by the way, "The older you get, the more confused you are, what are you arguing about!" Third child, don't be surprised! Your mother is a person with no heart. ”
Mouthful or unintentional? It's better to use no heart and no lungs! Yun Xiang silently finished spitting in her heart, and when she looked up inadvertently, she found that Liu Wang was secretly looking at herself. She smiled slightly, this old woman, since she was crushed by herself that time, she was afraid of her. Even if you move your mouth, you have to stay away from her.
"Adults talk, children go out." Liu Wangshi looked at Yun Xiang's smile and was a little cold, "We have to talk about business." ”
Yun Xiang didn't speak, just glanced at Liu Chengshuang and then took Xiao Wu's hand and went out. Xiao Wu said a little anxiously, "Sister, let's come out, what should my father do?" ”
Yun Xiang mourned for Liu Chengshuang in silence, asking a seven-year-old child to worry about whether you can deal with the incident independently, Dad, you can be regarded as a mixed up. She patted Xiao Wu's head, "Don't make trouble, although we came out, we didn't say that we couldn't eavesdrop!" Besides, if there's something going on, it's more convenient to be outside. So, the two quietly leaned on the door and whispered.
“…… Your fourth brother is pitiful, he doesn't even have a bloodline! This is going to be a funeral tomorrow, but I can't even find a broken pot......" Old man Liu's voice was a little choked, he loved this son the most, and he pinned all his hopes on Liu Cheng's body, who would have thought that he would come back in the end with such an ending. "The third child, Dad, I have something to ask you!"
Liu Chengshuang heard it in a fog, you spoke tactfully to him, no less than throwing flattery to a blind man, it is better to simply say something. Liu Chengshuang frowned, "Dad, if you have anything, just tell me directly." ”
Old Man Liu paused, he looked at Liu Chengshuang in front of him complicatedly, I don't know when, the person who always bent over to serve others, now straightens his waist than anyone else. "The third child, we have a lot of children in your family, look, can you inherit the incense for your brother by one of them?" (To be continued......)
