Chapter Eighty-Four: Selfishness and Promise

Chapter 84

While sighing, Cheng Xi's eyes looked meaningfully in the direction of Xu Erlang and the others in the house, the meaning was self-evident, and then continued to speak, "We want to continue to stay here, this year's dinner is estimated to be uneaten, let's go back to my mother's house for two days first." ”

Xu Wenyu carefully observed Cheng Xi's expression and eyes, it seemed that Cheng Xi was still very grateful for his care these days, and after receiving his affection, the stone in his heart was also put down, so he pretended to be considerate and responded, "Okay, it's okay for you to go over, I'll ask Aunt Fang to sort out your things and send them over in a while, and come back when the family stops, don't worry, I will teach Xu Erlang a good lesson, so that you won't be wronged in vain." ”

Cheng Xi pretended to be grateful and nodded his thanks, "Thank you, Fourth Uncle." "I was very disdainful in my heart, what I said was good, and the fault was Xu Erlang, so since they all thought that Xu Erlang had made a mistake, why didn't they leave them and drive Xu Erlang out, in the end, they didn't treat them as Xu family members from beginning to end, and pretended to care.

The two of them walked out of the door of the Xu family's courtyard, Xu Sanlang glanced down at Cheng Xi, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for letting you and me be wronged." ”

Cheng Xi couldn't see a sad expression on his face, but said very happily, "If you are afraid of being wronged, I won't come to the Xu family with you, but we still don't lose money by coming to this trip, hehe, in my opinion, when we leave, this Xu family will not stop." ”

Seeing Cheng Xi's gloating expression, Xu Sanlang knew that Cheng Xi must have deliberately provoked the Xu family's incident, and said worriedly, "Didn't you say that we wouldn't provoke the fourth uncle for the time being?" ”

Cheng Xi pursed his lips and responded, "Why did we provoke him?" Hey, it's obviously your second uncle's family who wants to fight with him, and it's not us who should be annoyed, it should be your second uncle and their family. ”

And at this time, the situation of the Xu family was really not what Cheng Xi expected.

Xu Wenyu sent Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi out of the courtyard gate, and then entered the house with a gloomy face, sat down on the seat vacated after Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi just left, and said to his daughter-in-law on the table next to him, "Ah Fang, pack up their things and send them to Cheng's house in a while." ”

Mrs. Cheng said dissatisfiedly, "What to send, those things are not all ours, they are just two mourning stars, and as soon as they come to our house, our family will not stop." ”

Xu Wenyu's face became even more gloomy, and he said coldly, "Let's split up." ”

Xu Wenyu suddenly came out of this sentence, and everyone looked at him with wide eyes, Mrs. Xu suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, rubbed her ears, and reconfirmed again uncertainly and cautiously, "What did you say?" ”

Xu Wenyu opened his mouth again and repeated, "Mother, let's split up." ”

This time, Mrs. Xu was sure that she heard clearly, her fourth child was talking about separation, but after hearing it clearly, it made her even more incredulous, and her voice was slightly sharp, "You said separation?" Did I hear me right? ”

Xu Wenyu glanced up at his wife, and then nodded decisively.

Mrs. Xu's eyes widened and she reprimanded, "You kid, what nonsense are you talking about, what kind of family is this good thing to suddenly divide into?" ”

Boss Xu on the side also answered, "Yes, fourth, why did you suddenly mention the separation?" ”

Xu Wenyu snorted coldly, "No separation, am I going to wait for nothing to be tossed?" Mother, I have repeatedly asked Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi that we can't offend now, but the second brother's family is good, and they all toss it one by one, even Xu Zijie, a child who is a big fart, doesn't stop, since they can't have the same mind, it's better to plan separately and split up earlier. ”

Xu Erlang was dissatisfied, and at this time, he heard that Xu Wenyu blamed them all for the fault, and he wanted to split up the family, so he couldn't help but retort, "Obviously, Xu Sanlang and that cheap girl have been making trouble for us, how can you blame us for tossing, I think that cheap girl is angry that I didn't marry her in the first place." ”

If Cheng Xi heard Xu Erlang's words, he estimated that he would die of laughter, just like Xu Erlang, she didn't marry him, she was thankful that it was too late, and she was still angry with him, she was really self-righteous enough.

Xu Wenyu heard Xu Erlang's words, his face became even more gloomy, and he said coldly, "Then since this is the case, let's split up, lest I burden you." ”

Xu Lao Er was a little anxious at this time, how could he split the family, he was still waiting to enjoy the glory and wealth after the fourth child was developed, how could he split the family now, seeing that it was Xu Wenyu who was provoked by the son next to him, Xu Lao Er slapped Xu Erlang on the back and scolded angrily, "You shut up Lao Tzu, you don't know how to repent when you do something wrong, let me go to the ancestral hall and kneel and think about it behind closed doors." ”

Xu Erlang, who was already choked by Cheng Xi's anger, also had a stubborn temper at this time, and roared with red eyes, "It's that little slut's fault, why blame me." ”

Xu Lao Er was also worried that his son didn't have any eyes, this time he was really annoyed, and slapped Xu Erlang in the face directly, and scolded angrily, "You told Lao Tzu to shut up and go to the ancestral hall to kneel without hearing?" I won't go over and beat you to death. ”

Xu Erlang rarely saw his father have such a big temper, although he was unwilling, he still didn't dare to be disobedient, and went to the direction of the ancestral hall angrily.

When Xu Erlang left, Xu Lao Er saw that Xu Wenyu's face was still very gloomy, so he yelled at Xu Zijie, the youngest son who was dodging on the table next to him, "Xu Zijie, go to the ancestral hall with your brother and kneel, and reflect on it." ”

Xu Zijie ran away in fright, he looked so fierce, his father was also unusual, his mother was beaten and lay on the bed, thinking that he couldn't make trouble anymore, and it was better to go to the ancestral hall to kneel safely.

When Xu Erlang and Xu Zijie left, Xu Lao Er said to his younger brother Xu Wenyu with a smile, "Fourth brother, don't be angry, I didn't discipline them well, you see that my mother-in-law and children have cleaned up today, and this kind of delay will not happen again in the future." ”

Mrs. Xu also opened her mouth on the side to persuade, "It's all the Li family's stirring master, even if you don't know how to stir up the peace, you can forget it, and you also pick up the child to follow the mix, if this happens again in the future, I will drive her back to her parents' house, and I will not let her have a chance to mix again, Si'er, don't mention the matter of splitting the family again, what kind of family is this big family suddenly divided." ”

Xu Wenyu snorted coldly and said, "This is not the same as dividing the family, the second brother went back and asked the second sister-in-law, did you want to separate the family and go out alone?" ”

Xu Lao Er was shocked when he heard this, and he said that how could this fourth child suddenly mention the separation of the family, even if he was angry with them to provoke Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi, he would not make a fuss about the separation of the family, it turned out that he was waiting here, this was his real purpose.

Of course, Xu Lao Er is clear about his mother-in-law's private room, but even if he knows at this time, he can only pretend to be stupid and put the fault on his mother-in-law Li, but thinking that the private house must be handed over, he is still very distressed.

Xu Lao Er pretended to be surprised and said, "What, private room?" ”

Mrs. Xu really didn't know, and said with a surprised and angry face, "You actually hid your private room, and you dare to hide your private room behind my back?" How much money did you get? You guys, you're really angry with the old lady. ”

Xu Lao Er knew that this private room was definitely going to be handed over, so he sighed in his heart, and was busy comforting the mad old lady on his face, "Mother, I didn't hide my private room, it's all a family, how could I do this kind of thing, you dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger, it must be a good thing for the Li family to do, if there is such a thing, I will definitely not spare her." ”

Wei Li, the matter of hiding the private room was also solved, Xu Wenyu's goal was achieved, and he accepted it when he saw it, and said, "I still believe that the second brother will not do such a thing, but the second sister-in-law is indeed a little unreasonable, and the child was also instigated by her, the second brother should indeed be disciplined well, if there is such a thing in the future, it can only be separated." ”

If you really divide the family, Xu Wenyu can't take advantage of it at all, his own food is provided by the Xu family, and he has to find a way to climb up, he is a scholar, so that the people in the family can use his reputation to make money for their own expenses, which is much better than him making money himself.

Of course, he also understands that his second brother will not agree to split the family, he is still waiting to develop on his own, how can he agree to split up at this time? It was expected that his second brother would not agree, so Xu Wenyu threatened the second brother to hand over the private money under the pretext of splitting the family, which was also a warning to the Xu family, lest everyone go to hide their private house in the future, where would his expenses come from.

Xu Lao Er finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the fourth brother Xu Wenyu was relieved, and he nodded busily in agreement, "Don't worry, this time the second brother will definitely establish the rules of our Xu family for them, and don't let them drag their feet anymore." ”

Although the sons stopped breaking up, Mrs. Xu was also relieved, but when she thought that the Li family had actually hidden a private room under her nose, and she didn't notice it, Mrs. Xu's face at this time was gloomy again, and she said to Xu Lao Er on the side, "Send the Li family to her mother's house in a while, let her reflect well, and come back if the reflection is good, and if the reflection is not good, you don't need to come back." ”

Where did Xu Lao Er dare to object at this time, and even wished that his mother-in-law had taken all the faults, so he nodded busily, "Okay, listen to my mother." ”

I felt uncomfortable, seeing the mess of this table, Mrs. Xu was even more irritable, and said to Ma and the others on the table next to her, "You clean up the table, and the food is hot again, I want to ask the Li family in person, how did the Xu family treat her badly, and she dared to hide her private room behind her back." ”

Xu Lao Er watched the old lady get up and went to his house, for fear that his mother-in-law would give up her nonsense, so he hurriedly followed the old lady's footsteps and said, "Mother, I'll go with you." ”

Boss Xu looked at the back of the second brother, pursed his mouth with disdain, and said to Xu Wenyu on the side, "Look at your second brother's virtue, your mother-in-law and children are not well disciplined, you know that he is playing tricks, he has no eyesight, and his mother-in-law is hiding her private room, will he not know?" The eyelids are shallow, like a mother-in-law. ”

Xu Wenyu sighed and responded, "The eldest brother still understands that in the future, when the younger brother is not at home, he will have to bother the eldest brother to take care of the family more." ”

Boss Xu stretched out his hand and patted Xu Wenyu's back, and replied with an unshirkable expression, "You just have to do things in the county government with peace of mind, the eldest brother in the family will definitely take care of it, and such a thing will not be allowed to happen again in the future." ”

Xu Wenyu was very pleased and said, "Brother, thank you first." ”

This Xu family, on the surface, loves each other, but in fact, they all have ghosts in their hearts and are selfish and calculating for themselves, just like these two people, obviously using each other to calculate and plan for themselves, but on the face they show a brother, friend and brother who love each other.
