Chapter Seventy-Five: The Brothers Break Up
"And when are you going to talk to the people of the clan?" Wang was worried that he would regret it one day, so he couldn't wait to ask.
Old Man Xu was already in a bad mood, so he glared at her fiercely, "What are you doing in such a hurry?" ”
"I ...... I'm just asking. Wang muttered and pursed his lips.
This kind of thing really can't be delayed, and Old Man Xu may have been too sad, and finally decided to go to the clan in person the next day.
When the elders of the Xu family clan heard that Old Man Xu was going to sever relations with his brother, their first reaction was to disagree, and this kind of brotherly break broke up, which was a great damage to the reputation of the family. There are still a lot of scholars in the family, and if it affects their careers in the future, it will be a big trouble.
"How can there be an overnight feud between brothers, if there is anything to be clearly explained, why make it to the point of breaking off relations." Patriarch Xu persuaded Old Man Xu earnestly.
Another elder also followed suit, "Yes, he is your eldest brother anyway, how can a family have an overnight feud." ”
The Wang family was afraid that Old Man Xu would be moved by these elders, and wanted to step forward to help, but was pulled by Xu Huaiqing on the side, Xu Huaiqing shook his head slightly. He can't understand his father's personality, although he sometimes looks at Hutu, but as long as he is determined to do something, he will never change it easily.
Old Man Xu listened to the words of these elders in silence, and then spoke sadly, "If it weren't for the point where I couldn't bear it, I wouldn't have done it so desperately, where is Xu Weishan my eldest brother, he is obviously an enemy who hates me to the bone." ”
He told Xu Weishan what he had done one by one.
"If he is the eldest brother of one of you and he does such a thing, which of you can forgive him."
The elders looked at each other, what Xu Weishan did was too much, Old Man Xu didn't take him to the yamen to let him go to prison, he was already benevolent and righteous.
Patriarch Xu secretly scolded Xu Weishan in his heart, and after sighing in embarrassment, he said slowly, "I also know that it is not easy for you, since this is the case, then I agree, but this matter must also be done by Xu Weishan." ”
Then he called Xu Weishan over and told him that Old Man Xu wanted to cut off relations with him.
Xu Weishan naturally won't agree, not to mention that the Xu family's life is getting better and better, and he may be able to get benefits from them in the future, but once the relationship is severed, then he really has nothing to do with the Xu family, and how can he take advantage of it when the time comes.
What's more, if this news spreads, what will the people in the village say about him?
"I would never agree to this." Regarding the things that Old Man Xu said, Xu Weishan did not admit any of them.
However, Old Man Xu was not unprepared, he wanted to deal with this matter in a low-key manner, but now it seems that he can't do it. As soon as the evidence came out, the ironclad evidence was like a mountain, and it was useless for Xu Weishan to quibble.
Bai Jiujiu, Liu and others were all waiting for news at home, and Li saw that they had not come back for a long time, so they walked back and forth in the house.
"Why haven't they come back by this time, is it not going well?"
Liu was also a little worried, knowing that Bai Jiujiu had always been smart, so he set his eyes on her.
Bai Jiujiu rubbed the corners of his forehead helplessly, "Sister-in-law, the eldest uncle has done so many wrong things, I think the patriarch will not favor him, and the matter of severing the relationship will definitely be done." ”
After Liu and Li listened to her words, they were inexplicably relieved.
When it was almost evening, Mr. Xu and his group came back.
"Dad," Liu originally wanted to ask them directly if the matter had been done, but seeing that Old Man Xu's face was not very good, he didn't dare to ask, so he had to smile and said, "You must be hungry after going out for so long, I'll go to the kitchen now to prepare for cooking." ”
"Hmm." Old Man Xu walked into his room without looking back, and his body looked a little rickety.
Xu Huaiqing knew that even if Xu Weishan had done so many wrong things, his father grew up with him, and now that his brother has become a passerby, his father's mood must be uncomfortable.
Compared with his discomfort, Wang's joy was almost not directly written on his face.
"I don't think I should kill another chicken today, anyway, I have fed so much at home."
was finally able to get rid of Xu Weishan's annoying ghost, and Wang didn't know how happy he was.
Seeing her so happy, Liu and Li naturally knew that things must have been done, and they laughed along.
Bai Jiujiu quietly pulled Wang's sleeve, "I don't think my father is in a good mood." ”
The smile on Wang's face stiffened for a moment, and then straightened his face, "What I ate yesterday was chicken, and it's not interesting to eat it every day, so let's make some today." ”
Seeing Wang's unique ability to change his face in an instant, Bai Jiujiu couldn't help but purse his lips and snicker.
When it was time to eat dinner, Mr. Xu asked him to take out the wine and change the cup with the two brothers Xu Huaiqing.
"I grew up with your uncle, I really didn't expect him to become what he is now." Old Man Xu couldn't help but sigh during the banquet, "I hope you two brothers can get along in harmony and help each other." ”
"Definitely." The two brothers replied in unison.
Bai Jiujiu couldn't help but pouted in her heart, she saw that although the two brothers of the Xu family seemed to be very harmonious on the surface, there were still a lot of problems in secret, and it was really uncertain whether they could get along in harmony like they do now in the future.
This Xu Huaiqian thought it was a good one before, but after going to the capital, I don't know if he was blinded by the prosperity there, and his temperament has changed a lot.
Because Old Man Xu was in a bad mood, he kept pulling the two brothers to drink, and in the end all three of them were drunk.
Xu Huaiqing was fine, he fell asleep after getting drunk, not noisy or noisy,
It was Xu Huaiqian who yelled after he was drunk, and it took Li a lot of effort to pull him back to the room.
Bai Jiujiu thought that Old Man Xu would be sad for a long time, but he didn't expect that after he woke up the next day, he would be like a nobody, what should he do.
"Dad's so surprising, I thought he would be sad for a long time because of the uncle's affairs." Bai Jiujiu and Xu Huaiqing sighed.
Xu Huaiqing sighed when he heard this, "Actually, my father has always been very sad, but he didn't want us to worry, so he didn't show it." ”
"Really? I don't really see it yet, but I've been really annoyed lately and haven't paid attention to it. ”
"What's wrong?"
"Don't mention it, my sister-in-law has been coming to me recently to ask about embroidery, but she asks some very simple questions, which I have already taught her.
