Chapter 36: A slap in the face
However, in order to deal with the second uncle, Ah Niang took such a lot of effort, which shows that the relationship in the clan is not as close as it appears at this time.
Especially Uncle Batang.
When his father fell, he was the first to take other uncles in the clan to challenge A-Niang, asking her to hand over the land left by her father.
How could he forget how these people from the Su clan coveted their Su family's property?
Thinking of this, Su gradually heard the look between his eyebrows, and suddenly became much more indifferent.
After talking about it, everyone in the clan expressed their attitudes again, and they would never talk about things that were gradually heard to the outside world, and they would definitely not let go of people in the village who were talking nonsense.
The atmosphere has become cheerful again.
"Second uncle, you drink tea quickly, this is a new tea that just came down from the mountain a while ago, and there is still a little left at home." Lai's entertained everyone.
"Okay, this tea is really good! This year's tea harvest is quite a lot, right? The eighth child, that is, Su Yanwen's eighth uncle, drank a sip of fragrant hot tea at this time, and looked at Jiang Duran's father, that is, the eldest of the uncles and uncles of the Su clan, the son of the old village chief, with warm eyes.
Qinghe Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers.
There is a large tea field on the mountain, which was a business opened up by Su Yanwen's grandfather in the early years. And Su Weiwen's grandfather had three sons. The eldest son was arrested when he was a teenager, and he never came back, the second son is the old village chief, and the third son is Su Yanwen's father, who has also been gone for many years.
The Su clan is prosperous.
The eldest is the son of the old village chief, who is the first in the clan, and he also has a son who is the fifth in the clan.
As for the rest like Uncle Batang, they are all descendants of Su Yanwen's grandfather's brothers.
Now this tea business is in the hands of the boss and the Su family.
Su Jianwen entered the military camp for the boss in his early years, and in return, the boss also ran the Su family's tea business, and honestly handed over the Su family's share of the profits to them every year, which is why the relationship between the two families is very good, and Lai's family trusts them extraordinarily, so this time the boss heard that Su Jianwen became Wanwen, and he would say that the opportunity originally belonged to him, and Lai's would be extremely disappointed in him.
When the eighth asked about the tea business, the boss took a sip of hot tea and replied briefly: "It's not bad, there is still a new crop of tea that has not been harvested, and the next crop of tea is estimated to be better." ”
"Then when the new tea is received, you can also get some for our family, the family usually entertains guests, and there is not even a single tea leaf." Lao Ba's eyes lit up, and he pouted and said.
Without waiting for the boss to say yes, the fifth child first mocked unceremoniously: "Yo, I don't know what kind of distinguished guests your family usually goes to, and you still need to entertain with tea?" ”
The old eight's face turned red when he said this, and he retorted with a stiff neck.
"Can you handle it? I won't entertain you anyway! ”
"Why can't I care?" The fifth child also immediately ridiculed each other.
"Don't you just see that my eldest brother is soft-hearted and easy to bully, and wants to pit his tea? The tea is going to be sold for money, you want a little, he wants a little, if everyone wants to get a piece of the pie, my eldest brother still wants to do business! ”
"Humph! It's as if the boss didn't give you tea in private! Besides, what do you mean by that? Treat me like an outsider, don't you? Isn't the boss my big brother? The eighth is a cold sarcasm again.
"You!" The fifth man stood up angrily.
Seeing that the two cousins were about to quarrel, the old village chief said majestically: "Enough! What's the noise? Forgot that the main reason for coming here is to see the gradual news? Both of you are uncles, and you are not afraid of laughing at such a quarrel in front of your children! ”
A few words ended the blush between the fifth and eighth.
The two didn't deal with each other in private, and they didn't dare to continue arguing in front of the old village chief, even if the fifth child was the biological son of the old village chief, he wouldn't be pleased.
And the old village chief brought the topic to Su Weiwen like this, and everyone's eyes naturally fell on him again. This time, the old village chief naturally noticed the handsome young man Er Yu who was standing next to Su Yanwen and looked white and clean.
"This kid is ......"
The old village chief looked Er Yu up and down, and there was a hint of a smile in his ancient well-like eyes, "When did you gradually hear that you had such an eldest son?" I remember when he left home, it was only five or six years, right? How old is this child? ”
Su Yanwen's expression was cold, and his tone was slightly cold: "I have been in the army for five and a half years, and Er Yu was picked up on the road, and he is seven years old. ”
The simple explanation of official business did not say a word, nor did it show a trace of enthusiasm, let alone the kind of respect for the elders.
Song Qingyi understood at a glance that the eldest brother was unhappy.
Indeed, the quarrel between these people in the clan today was originally speechless, and Su Yanwen was obviously used by the old village chief to divert the conflict, with his strange temper, it was strange that he could be happy.
Eccentric?
Hey, why does she think of the eldest brother like this?
In her previous life, she didn't feel this way at all, could it be that she spied on another side of the eldest brother that she never knew? Song Qingyi couldn't help frowning lightly and fell into deep thought.
But the old village chief didn't notice it at the first time, and still smiled: "Picked it up on the road? But it looks a lot like you. ”
"Like?"
The corners of Su Yanwen's mouth curled coldly, his eyebrows raised, and his tone was extremely stiff, "I don't think so." ”
Instant coldness.
No one in the village dared to speak to the old village chief like this.
His face really became embarrassed, and then he found that Su Wanwen pursed his lips tightly, and he didn't mean to be soft and flattering to him at all, so he didn't bother with a cold face.
As usual, Lai's family will not be accustomed to seeing the face of the old village chief, and will definitely help.
But this time, it was her son who was the face of the old village chief.
She lowered her head and drank tea with a teacup, but she didn't notice anything.
In this way, the atmosphere is even more rigid.
It's not good to go on like this, the eighth swallowed his saliva, and had to take the initiative to praise Er Yu: "No wonder the second uncle thinks that this kid is the son of Gradually Wen, he is so handsome like Gradually Wen, and he is so white, and he is very delicate." It's not like us croppers, who are sunbathed in the ground every day, and it's all dark. ”
It's a pity that he said so much, but no one talked to him.
Su Yanwen doesn't have a good impression of this eighth uncle, Er Yu is a dumb person, he can't speak, and Lai's doesn't bother to pay attention to the eighth uncle, as for Song Qingyi, her mother-in-law and eldest brother don't speak, so she doesn't have to talk about anything.
Such an attitude, although it is aimed at the eighth child, is also a slap in the face of the old village chief.
The old man couldn't bear it at all, and stood up suddenly, his tone was hard and obvious: "Okay! That's all for now! Let's go! ”
