Yu Shoude was angry and panicked, he gritted his teeth and roared at Liu, "The official is here, if you rub it any longer, you will wait to go to prison!" ”

After that, he no longer dragged his mother-in-law desperately, but shook off his hands and walked away alone.

Liu followed his line of sight, and sure enough, he saw a team of officials running towards Yu's house at the end of the alley.

Liu was so frightened that she hurried to chase Yu Shoude, and when she and a group of Yu Shoude's children saw this, they hurriedly dragged their families to follow.

Yu Jiayan rubbed his eyebrows, "It's finally gone." ”

Mingyue smiled at the corner of her lips to make him happy, "The husband is mighty, and the evil has already dispersed before I even make a move." ”

Yu Jiayan smiled bitterly, "I also have no choice." If I don't be cruel to them, they'll be dead. I don't want our family to have no peace because of this group of people. ”

"If they make trouble again by relying on the fact that they are my father, brother, and brother-in-law, then the two of us don't have to do anything else in the future, just cleaning up the mess for them is enough for the two of us."

"Rather than waiting for them to take advantage of our family and ruin our family's reputation by relying on their relatives, I might as well not leave them any chance to exploit the loopholes in the first place."

Mingyue nodded to show her understanding, "Besides, there is our mother, our mother endured all the hardships and died depressed, as the culprit, if they follow you to enjoy happiness, how sad our mother should be under Jiuquan." ”

Yu Jiayan reached out and grabbed Mingyue's hand, "So I really can't understand, how can he still expect me to have a father-son relationship with him?" ”

"He must have felt that you would compromise for the sake of your reputation." Mingyue, as a bystander, was able to see Jiayan clearly, and she slowly said to Yu Jiayan: "After all, you are now a master, and you plan to try to be admitted to the Jinshi in the future." For people like you who aspire to become officials in the court, reputation is obviously more important than profit. He understands this, so he will rely on the blood relationship between you to blatantly entangle us. ”

Yu Jiayan took a deep breath, "Even if I really make a compromise, won't others arrange for me to be unfilial?" It's a fact that he stopped his wife and remarried, I don't care about the previous suspicions of filial piety to him, how can we be embarrassed? ”

So it's a dilemma between going forward and going backward. No matter what we do, those who stand and talk without backache will inevitably pick on our thorns. Mingyue shook Yu Jiayan back with a little force, "We just need to follow our hearts and let ourselves have a clear conscience." As for what others say, that's not something we can control. ”

Yu Jiayan bowed slightly, "We are worthy of him, don't forget, we gave him a silver ticket last time." ”

The corners of Mingyue's lips raised slightly, "Yes, you have fulfilled your obligations, even if you go to court one day, we will be confident." ”

The amount of silver that Yu Jiayan gave Yu Shoude at the beginning was enough for him to have enough food and clothing, even if he lay on the kang every day and waited for death, he would never die of cold and starvation.

As the son who was let down and owed by him, Yu Jiayan can already be regarded as a big deal.

No matter where he says, Yu Jiayan can confidently say "with a clear conscience".

As for Yu Jiayan's refusal to give Yu Shoude other benefits because he was worried about his biological mother's feelings, his decision was not enough to become the so-called "shortcoming" that others used to attack him.

As soon as Yu Shoude stopped his wife and remarried, he was ashamed of Yu Jiayan's biological mother Xie, and he was not qualified to be compared with Xie in front of Yu Jiayan.

Second, Yu Jiayan has been dependent on Xie after Yu Shoude's "disappearance", without Xie, he would not have lived today, but Yu Shoude, a scumbag who abandoned his wife and children, did not fulfill his basic obligation to support his father.

Such a treacherous, illegal and immoral person, except for some "well-intentioned people" who deliberately can't get along with Yu Jiayan, the vast majority of the remaining people will never use the "father-son relationship" between him and Yu Jiayan to speak for him.

As for those "people with hearts", Yu Jiayan said that even if the other party wants to provoke trouble, he is not afraid, because he is sure enough to calm down the argument, let the vast majority of people stand on his side, and let Yu Shoude and those "people with hearts" become street rats that everyone shouts and beats.

"Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things, it's more interesting for us to continue to prepare New Year's goods." Mingyue pushed Yu Jiayan to the backyard as she spoke.

Yu Jiayan let her push herself back, and while walking, he also explained things to Dong Solstice and Changping, "Dong Solstice went to get the money box containing the little silverfish, and Changping gave those servants a small silverfish for each of them, just saying that it was just a false alarm, and it was annoying them to run this trip on a cold day." ”

When Dong Solstice heard this, he hurriedly pulled out his feet and went to the backyard to get the money box, while Mingyue and Yu Jiayan followed her and walked slowly to the backyard.

Mingyue asked Yu Jiayan, "Don't you have to come forward to say hello in person?" ”

"I'm not in the mood to deal with them right now." Yu Jiayan sighed, raised his free left hand and rubbed his eyebrows, "Don't worry, Changping knows how to deal with this matter." ”

Mingyue was a little distressed by Yu Jiayan, "Then you go and coax Brother An to play." It just so happened that I wanted the Liu family to help me prepare lunch together. ”

"Then I'd better go and help you prepare lunch, in case I bring the cold into the house, it will be troublesome to freeze Brother An."

Mingyue didn't debunk Yu Jiayan, she knew that Yu Jiayan just wanted to stay by her side.

The little couple then entered the stove room one after the other.

In the front yard, Changping and Shengping warmly but not sincerely entertained those officials, and as soon as the good tea and snacks were served, the eyes of those officials lit up a little.

Because they have been dealing with the Yu family for a long time, these people know that the two masters of the Yu family are generous people.

They didn't say anything polite to Changping and Shengping, but drank hot tea and ate snacks very calmly.

After a while, the winter solstice took the money box to the front yard, Changping was called outside by Liu San's eyes, and the winter solstice was busy according to the number of officials, and took four small silver fish weighing one or two from the money box.

"You can help me prepare four portions of snacks and fruits at home."

Changping really knew how to entertain these officials, and when he trotted over with eight oil paper bags on the winter solstice, Changping took Liu San into the main house in the front yard.

"My grandmother was frightened, and the uncle couldn't get out of her body, and she neglected all the poor masters. This is what the uncle asked me to use to compensate you, and please do a lot of Haihan. ”

As he spoke, Changping distributed the silver and the oiled paper packets containing snacks to everyone present.

Everyone here is an ordinary official in the yamen, and although they eat official meals, they usually get very little oil and water.

However, the Yu family and the Ming family belong to the kind of extremely generous people, whether it is to report the good news or help to do some small things, these two families will give very generous hardship fees.

This is also why whenever the Yu family has something, they rush to come over.
