Although it was not the first time that my great-grandfather had beaten my grandfather, this time it was the heaviest and hardest time he had beaten my grandfather, and it really made a real move.

I don't know how many wattles were broken, until my great-grandmother was distressed and cried, Xiaoyu cried and knelt with my grandfather, and hugged my grandfather until she took the wattles for my grandfather.

Actually, the relationship between Xiaoyu and my grandfather, my great-grandfather and my great-grandmother have long been aware of it, but the couple didn't care, they always thought that the two children were playmates together, and it was nothing to play around, none of them expected this kind of thing.

Xiaoyu's tears, coupled with my great-grandmother's hard persuasion, my great-grandfather finally threw away the wattle and gradually calmed down.

After that, the two of them called my grandfather and Xiaoyu into the house, and asked the two of them what to do about this matter.

Xiaoyu is shy, the other is timid, he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, but my grandfather seemed neither humble nor arrogant, looked directly at my great-grandfather, and said with a resolute face that he really likes Xiaoyu, and he will not marry Xiaoyu in this life.

My great-grandfather asked Xiaoyu again, and Xiaoyu was very happy when she saw my grandfather's statement, and after looking at my grandfather affectionately, she blushed and said to my great-grandfather that she was willing to serve my grandfather for the rest of his life.

Hearing the two of them say this, my great-grandfather and my great-grandmother were relieved, and they were worried that it was my grandfather who was a bastard, and Xiaoyu was forced by him.

In the end, my great-grandfather and my great-grandmother and his wife are combined, since the two children are in love, you love me, and Xiaoyu's belly can't wait any longer, it's better to pick a day nearby and marry the two children, anyway, they have already reached the age of marriage.

Of course, it is a big deal for my grandfather to get married, I must go to Cai's mansion to discuss it with Cai Wenye and his wife, my grandfather is closer to Cai Wenye's grandsons at this time, and he will be the champion in the future.

However, as soon as my great-grandfather went to Cai's mansion to tell Cai Wenye, the old man immediately exploded, and slapped the table with a "pop" sound, blaming my great-grandfather for being confused and messing around.

Cai Wenye said, a lowly maid, what status, how to marry their grandson of Cai Fu, how to marry the future champion Lang, this matter, he resolutely disagrees, and there is no room for negotiation, as for Xiaoyu, if you want to stay, you can stay, no name, you don't want to stay, Cai Fu pays for it, just send it away.

Cai Wenye said this, of course my great-grandfather was not happy, my great-grandfather himself was not from a big family, and Xiaoyu is now pregnant, so there is flesh and blood of our Liu family in her belly, how can you not give a name, how can you say that you will drive it away, this kind of thing, my great-grandfather can't do it anyway. On the contrary, he was very disgusted with Cai Wenye's depravity to his subordinates, but he didn't have a stiff relationship with Cai Wenye because Cai Wenye was his father-in-law's face.

In the face of Cai Wenye's resolute attitude, my great-grandfather begged patiently, and his mouth was about to wear out, but Cai Wenye's disagreement was disagreement, and he didn't agree.

In the end, Cai Wenye and my great-grandfather almost said everything, saying that if my great-grandfather mentioned to him the matter of my grandfather marrying a maid again, my great-grandfather and his wife would not enter the door of their Cai Mansion again, and he Cai Wenye could not afford to lose this person!

Cai Wenye's attitude was so resolute, which my great-grandfather had not expected before, it was like pouring cold water on someone, and the two of them parted unhappily.

When I returned home, my great-grandfather was very unhappy, and when I told my great-grandmother, my great-grandmother also frowned, although my great-grandmother had a little bit of a family concept and knew that it was not appropriate for my grandfather to marry a maid, but she hoped that a lover would eventually become a family.

In the end, my great-grandfather told my great-grandmother that it was better for the whole family to move back to Sanwangzhuang, because he was tired of staying here in Weishi County, and now that he is older, it is time for him to return to his roots. When I arrived at Sanwangzhuang, I quietly handled the marriage between my grandfather and Xiaoyu, and when the raw rice was cooked and matured, Cai Wenye would not be able to say anything.

My great-grandmother nodded in agreement, so the two of them were in the room, how to say goodbye to Cai Wenye and his wife, and what if Cai Wenye didn't agree to them going home? What if Cai Wenye still agrees with the two of them to go back as he did in the past, but does not agree with my grandfather to go back, and insists on leaving my grandfather in Cai's mansion? If my grandfather is left in Cai's Mansion, what will Xiaoyu do? You can't just keep the whole family silent, flee as if fleeing, and flee back to Sanwangzhuang, then you really don't enter the gate of Caifu again.

Just when my great-grandfather told my great-grandmother about the above, Xiaoyu who was passing by outside probably heard it, and Xiaoyu probably thought that she had blocked my great-grandfather and his wife, and asked my grandfather to marry her a maid, which made my grandfather lose face.

The next day, she hanged herself in her room......

This sudden scene caused chaos in my great-grandfather's house......

My grandfather hugged Xiaoyu's corpse and cried bitterly, crying so much that his liver and intestines were broken...... My great-grandfather frowned, smoking a cigarette, and didn't say a word, maybe in his heart, he was hating himself for being cowardly, hating himself for taking Cai Wenye's face too seriously...... My great-grandmother was slumped on the ground, looking at Xiaoyu's corpse, stunned, she may be complaining about Xiaoyu's stupidity, complaining about her father's ruthlessness, and complaining about these so-called family members......

Xiaoyu's body was buried with the best coffin from the coffin shop in Weishi County, and my great-grandfather wanted to bury her in Xiaoqingshan, where feng shui is the best.

Cai Wenye disagreed, and said contemptuously, isn't it just a maid.

When my great-grandfather heard this, he was furious for the first time in his life, and yelled at Cai Wenye, is that a maid, that is two lives!

In the face of Cai Wenye's opposition, he found the best cemetery in Xiaoqingshan.

My great-grandfather felt that our Liu family was sorry for Xiaoyu, and on the day of Xiaoyu's funeral, he asked my grandfather to put on Xiaoyu's linen and filial piety.

Since ancient times, there has never been a husband who has dressed his wife in linen and wearing filial piety, not to mention that Xiaoyu and my grandfather have not yet married, my great-grandfather asked my grandfather to do this, not to mention the past, even if it is put on hold now, it is all risking the world's disapproval, not to mention anything else, it will make the neighbors laugh to death.

This matter was once again strongly opposed by Cai Wenye, and the old man almost didn't let people carry the coffin out of the funeral shed and threw it away, and those who came to carry the coffin ran away for my grandfather one by one.

Xiaoyu was buried in a noisy noise......

Because of Xiaoyu's matter, the relationship between my great-grandfather and Cai Wenye has been very stiff ever since.

After Xiaoyu's death, my grandfather became decadent, lost his soul, stopped reading books, and stopped practicing martial arts, so he sat under the big locust tree, tilted his head, and looked at the leafy big locust tree blankly, sitting all day, as if recalling the happy days with Xiaoyu......

Suddenly, one day, my grandfather disappeared, and no one was found for two days and two nights, and the entire Weishi county was searched. Finally, my great-grandmother told my great-grandfather that it would be better to look for Xiaoqingshan.

When my great-grandfather arrived at Xiaoqingshan, my grandfather was lying on Xiaoyu's grave, holding the grave with two arms, and I don't know when he had passed out on it......

In 1884, the tenth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, the year of Jiashen. My grandfather was seventeen years old, my great-grandfather was fifty-seven, and my great-grandmother was thirty-nine.

At this time, in the county seat of Weishi County, there was one more rampant ruffian in the township, fighting and brawling, a good kung fu, fighting was particularly ruthless, one person could fight seven or eight, and there were still people in the yamen to support him, walking sideways in the entire Weishi county, no one dared to provoke.

This person is my grandfather.

Follow my great-grandmother and eldest brother to the Qinglou, drink flower wine, follow my great-grandmother's second brother to walk dogs, fight crickets, steal the cigarette pouch left by Wang Shoudao and learn to smoke, learn everything, but don't learn well, the voice is lustful, spending money is like running water, and if you don't have money, you will ask my great-grandmother or Cai Wenye and his wife.

Once, I asked Cai Wenye for money, but Cai Wenye didn't give it, and a fire burned Cai Wenye's study, and the collection of books saved by Cai's ancestors for several generations was burned. Cai Wenye was so angry that he fell seriously ill, and then he was bedridden, and it didn't take long for him to die at the age of sixty-five.

Xiaoyu died, and the former Liu Niandao also died......

In 1885, the eleventh year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, the year of Yiyou. My grandfather was eighteen years old, my great-grandfather was fifty-eight, and my great-grandmother was forty years old.

This year, I caught up with the triennial imperial examination, and under the persuasion of my great-grandfather and his wife, my grandfather took his luggage and went to Kaifeng Mansion with a few students to catch the exam. The last time I rushed to take the exam, because of his young age, he was accompanied by Cai's family, but this time, he was the only one and no one was accompanied.

However, a few days after I went out, my grandfather ran back again, because my grandfather was on the way to the exam, got into a fight with someone, broke someone's leg, and injured several family members.

The guy whose leg was broken by my grandfather was none other than the nephew of the groom, who was the first to marry my great-grandmother and died on the way to marry, that is, the son of the groom's younger brother, who was two years older than my grandfather.

The groom's family is as rich and powerful as the Cai family, and it can be said that there are faults and mistakes. The relationship between the two families began to deteriorate after beating the son of that family on the way to marry, and the parents of that family have always resented my great-grandmother's "widowhood" for killing their son, and this resentment has been passed on to the next generation.

The guy who was broken by my grandfather's leg was also in Kaifeng Mansion to take the exam, and when he met my grandfather on the way, he pointed at my grandfather's nose and scolded my great-grandmother for being a slut and a widow, and killed his uncle.

What kind of person is my grandfather, the overlord in the county town of Weishi, usually others avoid him, today someone dared to point his nose and scold him, immediately furious, without saying a word, rushed over to fight, a few punches down, beat that guy to lie on the ground and never get up again, he brought a few family members to see this, came up to help, and was knocked over by my grandfather with three punches and two feet
