Chapter 550: Contradiction (II)
The trip back to the village was not delayed, and it was not until he arrived at his home in Lotus Village that Li Xin couldn't help but ask Guan Wendao: "Didn't the fourth brother take care of the shop with you?" Did he carry his four siblings on his back...... You haven't seen any signs of it? β
Guan Wen's face was very bad, and when he heard Li Xin still ask himself, he just replied stiffly: "No." [ If you are looking for material, you will go to me to read]"
Li Xin sighed.
The matter still started after Hu Yueying blurted out that sentence in the morning.
At that time, Li Xin was stunned, and he didn't react for a while, but closed the tips of his ears, and when he heard this, he rushed over and dragged Hu Yueying and said that Hu Yueying had ruined his reputation in front of Li Xin.
The two of them quarreled in front of Guan Wen and Li Xin like this, if it weren't for the fact that the shop had already opened and someone was passing by on the side of the road, I am afraid that Guan Quan and Hu Yueying would continue to quarrel.
Guan Quan scolded Hu Yueying for saying that the wind is rain, and if you have a little money, you can hide it yourself, and she actually made rumors about other girls, and went to the eldest brother and sister-in-law to hurt him, which is simply a lot of words.
Hu Yueying scolded Guan Quan for having no conscience, she really thought she was a green onion, and she began to move some crooked thoughts when she had money, and she was not allowed to complain to her sister-in-law if she was weak in her heart.
The two of them said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and for a while, Guan Wen and Li Xin couldn't tell what was true and what was false.
Seeing that they were arguing and becoming more and more shapeless, Guan Wencai suddenly shouted, his face turned pale, and finally made the two stop arguing.
Guan Wen said: "Solve those things of the two of you by yourself, isn't it a shame to make trouble in front of me and your sister-in-law!" How old are they! β
Guan Quan lowered his head and didn't speak, and Hu Yueying also shrank aside uneasily.
Originally, Li Xin was still thinking. If this happens, I am afraid that I and Guan Wen will stay for two more days and take care of the affairs of the couple before we can go back. Unexpectedly, Guan Wen didn't say that he wanted to stay in the shop at all, so he let Li Xin take the burden and helped her get on the horse. He took the reins and headed towards the entrance of the town.
Before leaving, Guan Wen also said lightly to Guan Quan: "You are also two out of twenty people, you should be able to distinguish what to do and what not to do." I read* I don't need my big brother to teach you anymore. β
One sentence was said to be close and his face was blue and white for a while, but he didn't dare to speak. Hu Yueying didn't dare to talk.
Guan Wen took the reins of the horse. When he arrived at the entrance of the town, he got on his horse and sat on the horse, hugged Li Xin in front, and drove the horse without saying a word.
Li Xin knew that he was unhappy, so when he asked him at this time, he saw that he still didn't want to talk more, but he didn't force him.
Li Xin naturally has his own guesses in his heart.
She felt that what Hu Yueying said. It's certainly not a matter of chasing after the wind and shadows.
The most intuitive impression to her was what Guan Wen said to Guan Quan before leaving.
If Guan Quan really had a clear conscience, presumably Guan Wen wouldn't need to tell him such a warning.
But in the end, it is his brother's character problem, and it is also a family ugliness to say that it is serious, and it is not incomprehensible that Guan Wen wants to cover it up.
After returning home, thank Guan Wu and Xing'er for helping to take care of the family and taking care of the elderly and children during this time, Li Xin went to talk to Xing'er about the Zhao family's preparations for Zhao Changhui's marriage. Guan Wen pulled Guan Wu and said that it was between their brothers.
When Yang Er came back, the family got together for a meal, and during the meal, Guan Wen also told him about building a granary, and planned to discuss it with the craftsmen in the village tomorrow.
When he went to bed at night, Guan Wen's mood seemed to calm down a little, and he took the initiative to mention Guan Quan and Hu Yueying to Li Xin.
"In the matter of the fourth brother, I also saw some signs." Guan Wen said: "Actually, I knew early on that the fourth brother was not very satisfied with this family affair with the Hu family, and it was normal for the fourth brother and sister to look down on the appearance and body shape there." It's just that I keep telling him. Since you marry a girl from the Hu family, you have to be good to others, a yellow flower girl marries you, takes care of you, eats and drinks for you, makes clothes for you, and asks you for warmth, where is I sorry for you? β
Li Xin nodded, deeply convinced.
If Hu Yueying doesn't like it, it's okay to close it all. The two are not doing well, so they can discuss and divorce, and then marry again, which has nothing to do with each other. Although it will have some impact on the two of them in terms of reputation, it is better to be a couple for the rest of their lives.
It's just that Guan Quan can't look down on Hu Yueying in this marriage, and Hu Yueying obviously likes Guan Quan.
Guan Wen continued: "In the past, the family was poor, and the fourth brother didn't have so much thought, and it was not bad for the fourth brother and sister. Later, when I came to the town, I started to live quite well, and my relationship was harmonious, and my life was very fulfilling. But gradually, the contradictions between the couple became deeper and deeper. In addition, now that the fourth brother and sister are working in the Shen family's workshop, they have a fixed monthly amount of silver every month, she has money in her hands, her waist is straight, and her speech is naturally hard, and the fourth brother is not the only one in charge of the family. The fourth brother is not used to the fourth brother and sister, and he has to ask about everything, and the fourth brother and sister can't see the fourth brother running around every day and dealing with mixed people......"
Guan Wen paused when he said this, and then sighed and said: "The girl who 'flirted' with the fourth brother and sister was a fiancΓ© who died before she got married, and she lived not far from the small yard they rented, and every day the fourth brother went out, he had to pass by there, and the two of them got to know each other after coming and going......"
Li Xin couldn't help frowning and said, "Since you know everything, why don't you say a word about the fourth brother?" It's been a long time to say that he asked him to keep a distance from other girls, and the fourth brother is getting bigger and bigger......"
"Why haven't you said it......" Guan Wen sighed: "I have said it a lot in the open and in secret, and he has agreed every time, but the result is still his own way." β
Li Xin couldn't help but say: "The fourth brother and sister are not wrong when they say that he is ambitious, if he doesn't have any such thoughts in his heart, what will he do with a girl who is not married?" β
In this kind of matter, Li Xin naturally stood on Hu Yueying's side.
Guan Wen smiled bitterly and said, "Anyway, these things between the two of them have accumulated over time, and I am afraid that they have existed since they were married to the Hu family." I don't know what will happen to them when they go back in a few days......"
Li Xin asked, "Ah Wen, have you ever thought that if your fourth brother really wants to take a concubine?" β
"Concubine?" Guan Wen was surprised, and immediately frowned: "What kind of concubine, our family doesn't have this kind of rule." β
Li Xin chuckled: "That's right." When you go back, if the matter between the fourth brother and the two of them has not been resolved, you will have to talk to the fourth brother. There are no rules for taking concubines in our family, and if he goes down with other girls, it will only ruin the reputation of other girls. Don't look at the four brothers and sisters, there are few families, there is no brother to support them, and my father is still blind and thinks that people are easy to bully. β
Guan Wen was a little sneering when he said it, as if Guan Quan was indeed bullying Hu Yueying without the support of her mother's family.
Li Xin sighed and said, "It's not easy for the fourth brother and sister, are you willing to quarrel with the fourth brother in her heart?" Her family background is not good, her appearance is not good, and it is okay if the fourth brother likes it, but since the fourth brother has married her, he should have lived a good life with her, which is his responsibility as a man. β
Guan Wen straightened his waist, and his face became serious.
Li Xin said again: "As for this morning, the fourth brother said that the fourth brother and sister did not hand over the money they earned, but took it back to supplement their mother's family or something...... I really don't think it's the fault of the four siblings. β
"How?" Guan Wen sat precariously.
Li Xin also straightened his expression and said, "Awen, think about it, you handed over all our family's money to me, right?" β
Guan Wen was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Li Xin meant, and nodded awkwardly.
Li Xin said again: "You give me the money, I don't spend it indiscriminately, I use what should be used, and we will save it when we buy land and buy land if it shouldn't be used, and the couple will work together to live." What about the fourth brother? The fourth brother and sister have no mother's family to rely on, no son to rely on, and the fourth brother is holding on to the money, of course she panics in her heart, if she doesn't put the money by her side, what can she do? You let the fourth brother touch his conscience and ask, has he ever made the fourth brother and sister feel at ease? To put it bluntly, the fourth brother and sister don't believe him! In the final analysis, is it not his own problem? β
Guan Wen thought thoughtfully, thought about it carefully, and thought that Li Xin's words sounded so right?
Li Xin lay down, yawned and said, "Okay, you think slowly, I'll sleep first." β
Guan Wen hurriedly responded, and he also lay down, reaching out and hugging Li Xin's waist.
The couple stayed at home for four or five days, negotiated some basic things about the granary, and then went back to town.
Guan Wen is going to take charge of the shop, and Li Xin is going to Zhao's house to care about the preparations for the marriage, and by the way, ask about the approximate wedding date.
When he returned to the shop, Guan Quan was settling accounts, and when he saw Guan Wen coming, he hurriedly greeted him and told him that the leather business of Cen Mansion was settled, and he also kept an eye on it, and asked the gangsters on the street to follow Na Cen Butler to see if he was really the housekeeper of Cen Mansion. The result, of course, is that Steward Cen is real.
Guan Wen listened lightly, asked from time to time, looked at the account books during this period, and nodded.
Guan Quan said: "If the eldest brother is fine, then I will continue to be busy." β
Guan Wendao: "Wait a minute. β
Guan Quan looked at him, Guan Wen paused, and asked Guan Quan in front of Li Xin: "How did you talk to the fourth brother and sister?" β
Guan Quan's face immediately darkened: "What did the eldest brother say she did...... She went back to her parents' house yesterday. β
Guan Wen immediately frowned, glared at Guan Quan and said, "Then you will let her go back alone?" She went back to her parents' house alone during this time? β
Guan Quan only nodded.
Guan Wen immediately glared at Guan Quan: "She is your daughter-in-law!" You asked her to go back alone every time she went back to her parents' house, what did her mother's family think? What do the neighbors around her mother's house think! β
Guan Quan muttered: "There is only one blind father left in her mother's family, and there are no neighbors next to her who pay attention to their family......"
Although this sentence was said quietly, Guan Wen still heard it clearly, and he was immediately angry, and he stretched out his hand to fight.
Li Xin hurriedly grabbed Guan Wen: "If you have something to say, so many people are watching...... Let's go to the backyard......"
Guan Wen glared at Guan Quan: "Come to the backyard!" β
