Chapter 11 Housework
When Zheng Kaihua came to the hall, his face was simple.
Looking at Zheng Kaihua's expression, Zheng Xunrui secretly sighed, he found that he was thinking too simply, twelve-year-old Zheng Kaihua is not simple at all, and he must not be able to look at it with the eyes of future generations, just imagine a teenager who has grown up under humiliation and lack of attention to the environment since he was a child, how can his mind not be complicated, and precociousness is the requirement of the times for men, this qiē has led to a deviation in Zheng Xunrui's understanding.
Qin Huaihe's affairs, the divorce, and the things that made people spurned, why they can be widely spread, why the outside world knows about them, these are all things within the family, and it is too late to conceal them, and this time Yang Tingshu made a special trip to visit his home, it is by no means for no reason, there is a cause and an effect, Zheng Xunrui knows this very well.
After carefully sorting out his thoughts, he aimed his suspicious gaze at Zheng Kaihua.
Through the observation of the past ten days, he found that Zheng Kaihua is not ordinary, in front of the elders, Zheng Kaihua is simple, kind and innocent, as if he doesn't understand anything, but when he turns his back, Zheng Kaihua cares about the little things that happen in the house, and he is inquiring all the time, and every time he hears something, he will go out for a while.
Zheng Kaihua found Zheng Jinhong and inquired about a lot of things, including the things in the county school, the simple Zheng Jinhong would not have any defense, what to say, Zheng Kaihua even found Lotus Leaf and Yuhuan to inquire about the situation.
There is also Sun's appearance, which is even more abnormal, Zheng Kaihua will go to Sun's room almost every afternoon, his face is calm when he goes in, and his face is stern when he comes out, as if he is thinking about something.
Through these phenomena, Zheng Xunrui quickly determined that it was Sun and Zheng Kaihua who were secretly making trouble.
Zheng Xunrui doesn't plan to punish Zheng Kaihua, after all, it's a family, the previous Zheng Xunrui may have gone too far, and Zheng Kaihua is a concubine, Sun is a concubine, and he is inferior at home, in order to be able to fight for the greatest interests, it is normal to calculate him Zheng Xunrui.
"Kaihua, sit down, we brothers rarely talk to each other, I want to have a good visit with you."
"Does the elder brother have something, if he wants the younger brother to do it, just tell it."
"It's nothing, I just want to have a good talk with you, don't worry, Erniang has already said there, you will sleep with me tonight."
Zheng Kaihua's face changed slightly, he didn't know what tricks this brother who had undergone great changes would come up with, making him miserable, from childhood to adulthood, he was overwhelmed by this brother, it can be said that he was living in fear, but unfortunately he was a relative, he was a concubine, and the difference in status was too great.
"Brother, over the years, I, as an elder brother, have treated you very contemptuously, done some bad things, made you live in fear, and I feel ashamed when I think about it, and I don't want to explain anything, I hope the past can pass."
"I also know that the resentment in your heart is impossible to eliminate in a short period of time, but there is one sentence you have to remember, brothers work together to break the gold, if there are too many gaps between us, these cracks will slowly accumulate, to the point of no return, it will be the Zheng family that falls, and you will not get any benefits at that time."
Zheng Kaihua's face slowly became gloomy, and he still didn't speak.
"What I said about the past, let him pass, there are two meanings, the first meaning has just been said, I have hurt you in the past, I hope you can digest it slowly, don't always pile it up in your heart, that is not good for you, your loved ones can't be trusted, who can you trust in the future, with such a pigtail, how can you get along well with others, the second meaning is that the things you did in the past that were not good for me have also passed, don't care about each other."
"A lot of things in the family have been spread out, and the Zheng family has become a laughing stock, which is actually not good for you, after all, you are a child of the Zheng family, the family reputation is not good, you are also implicated, he is just thinking about seeking fame every day, I am afraid that he will be the first to be dismissed."
When Zheng Xunrui said this, Zheng Kaihua's face slowly turned red, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
"Of course, I do my own bastard things, no one wonders others, this is my own responsibility, I hope to be able to get your forgiveness, if the family and brothers can't forgive, they are all mutual beware and mutual suspicion and calculation, not to mention outsiders, my father said that everything is prosperous at home, this is good."
"Yesterday I discussed with my mother, after the beginning of the year, you will go to the county school to study, and strive to gain fame, in addition, all your uses, from now on, like me, your bedroom, next to me, you are already twelve years old, always live in the same place with Erniang, it is not good......"
Zheng Kaihua is not very old after all, and when he heard Zheng Xunrui say this, he finally couldn't help it.
"Brother, you won't think of any way to calculate me."
Zheng Xunrui smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"The gap between you and me, mainly because of me, which also involves Erniang, these are clear to me, brothers fight for each other, isn't it the family property, think about it, if you and I are not angry, share these family properties, what can be, there is always a day when the mountain is empty, when the time comes, who will help you and my brother, in the final analysis, you and my brother have to fight for luck and interest, to get fame, to glorify the court, Xingyang Zheng family, is a famous family, why can it last for thousands of years, If there are many contradictions within the family, and the brothers and sisters calculate each other, can they sustain it for so many years? ”
"What I'm saying is the truth, I don't expect you to fully believe it today, whether I have completely let go, you just look at my actions in the future, I don't dare to expect you to change today, but I hope that when you do everything, you can think about it carefully, this is nothing more than to get benefits, you have to think carefully, every decision you make, is it possible to get the maximum benefit of yourself, you grew up in such an environment, there must be a lot of things to think of, so I hope you can listen to what I say."
Zheng Kaihua looked at Zheng Xunrui, and finally spoke again.
"Brother, you are a relative, I am a concubine, you say everything, my father also believes what you say, and the eldest mother is also in charge of the family, what can my mother and I say and do."
When Zheng Kaihua said these words, Zheng Xunrui's face fell.
"Every family has someone who is in charge, from the court to the homes of ordinary people, if everyone is vying to be the master, wouldn't it be a mess of porridge, there is a sentence I shouldn't have said, there are many brothers in this emperor, is everyone thinking about being the emperor, is it that everyone says must be counted, and they must be the masters, so can it still be maintained."
"What I mean by brothers working together to break off money means that brothers should trust each other and work hard for the strength of the family, not a question of who will overpower whom, I believe you can understand these words."
"As for what you will do and think in the future, I can't influence it, but I can guarantee that in the days to come, I will always safeguard your interests and prevent you from being bullied by others, and I will also fight for the interests that Erniang should have in front of my father and the present, and the Zheng family only has you and my brothers, and only when we are in a group can there be hope."
"I don't expect you to be single-minded with me, but I also have requirements for you, that is, don't do anything unfavorable to the family at any time, don't do things that are good for relatives and enemies, you have to remember that no matter what setbacks you encounter, home is the last place you can live."
Zheng Kaihua's face finally changed, slowly became red, and slowly lowered his head.
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, I was going to leave you here for the night, it seems that you are not very reluctant, you better go back, everything I said today, you can tell Erniang, see what Erniang thinks."
Two days later, Zheng Xunrui, who came back from the county school, just walked into the courtyard and saw Sun waiting in the courtyard.
Sun stepped forward directly and whispered to Zheng Xunrui.
"What Qing Yang said, I don't know if it's true, after so many years, the slave family has watched you grow up."
Sun's tone was obviously distrustful, but the look on his face was sincere, no matter what, a wise Zheng Xunrui who looked already sensible was definitely not something that Sun and Zheng Kaihua could contend with, if Zheng Xunrui could really do what he said, let the family be harmonious, and let Zheng Kaihua enjoy the treatment he deserved, there would be no need for the Sun family to make small moves, after all, if the Zheng family has a bad reputation, it will not be of the slightest benefit to Zheng Kaihua.
"Erniang didn't want to believe it, in Qingyang's expectations, two days had passed, Erniang came to talk to Qingyang about it, and it was also beyond Qingyang's expectations, presumably Erniang had thought about it carefully, and then decided to talk to Qingyang, Qingyang didn't like to say more, and he had to see how Qingyang did it."
"Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the attitude of the younger brother is also in Qingyang's expectations, Qingyang's attitude is clear, he will definitely treat his younger brother well in the future, as for the attitude of the younger brother, Qingyang does not want to be reluctant, the younger brother is affected by Erniang a lot, if it is an inconsequential little thing, the younger brother sometimes does something wrong, Qingyang can ignore it, but it involves major family matters, such as the future development, Qingyang does not want to see anyone make mistakes, if so, Qingyang will not forgive."
Sun listened very carefully, and after Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, her face was slightly better.
"Hearing Qing Yang say this, the slave family is relieved, Kaihua is introverted, not good at words, and you can't compare, you are an elder brother, willing to take care of Kaihua, the slave family is very happy, as for what Kaihua will do, the slave family will say his."
