Nowadays, filial piety is greater than the sky, as a child, you are born in a weak position, even if your parents have it, you have to endure it, otherwise your reputation will be bad and you will be spurned by everyone.

Especially for scholars, that is to affect the imperial examination.

Therefore, for others like Xu Huaiyi to speak out about not adoptive parents, it is definitely a challenge to their ability to bear.

Village Chief Xu's shocked face changed, "Huaiyi, just now when you didn't say it, we didn't hear it, and no one was allowed to mention it when you went out of this door." ”

The younger ones looked at each other.

Xu Huaiyi smiled disapprenosingly, "Uncle Village Chief, since I dare to say it, I dare to admit it, you don't have to cover it up for me, I live with a clear conscience, and I am not afraid of what others think." ”

"How can it work? You, you still think too simply, too impulsively, this is not something you are ashamed of, this is, this is filial piety, you still want the imperial examination, how can you fall into the hands of others? Village Chief Xu was anxious for him, with a worried face, and gave Xu Maoyuan a look and motioned him to persuade him.

Xu Maoyuan smiled bitterly, "Huaiyi, I know that you have a knot for your father and brother, and you don't want to have any more dealings with them, but at this time and then, now that you have finally been admitted to the Jingwu Academy, and you have gained a little fame, you can't be as willful as in the past, you have to cherish your feathers." ”

Xu Huaiyi pulled the corners of his mouth, "If you cherish your feathers, you have to find guilt for yourself?" Do you have to push my daughter-in-law and children into the fire pit again? ”

Xu Maoyuan immediately said, "No, this time, I will definitely beat them, control them, and never let them block you again, rubbing your daughter-in-law and children, you can rest assured." ”

Village Chief Xu took over the words and reassured, "And me, I also keep an eye on them, whoever dares to be a demon will be thrown out of the village and let him fend for himself." ”

Xu Huaiyi shook his head, "I believe in you, but I don't believe in them, the nature of the country is easy to change, and it is difficult to change, how long can you restrain it?" ”

Xu Maoyuan said earnestly, "It's just to borrow it temporarily, and when they get a new house, they will naturally move out, you have already split up, and there is no reason to mix together." ”

"It's easy to please God, it's hard to send God, they come in, and are you willing to go again?" Xu Huaiyi smiled self-deprecatingly, "Anyway, I don't believe in them, I know their temperament too well, I used to want to squeeze my flesh and blood out to support them, and finally separated, I will never make the same mistake again." ”

"But, but if they propose to live with you, if you don't care, it will hinder your reputation, no matter how bad they are, they are also your parents and brothers, outsiders don't care about the reason, just look at the result."

"Uncle, have you forgotten, I am not a member of the Xu family now, I am in the Gu family, that is, the Gu family, they have four other sons, there is no reason for me, the son-in-law, to support me, right? In addition, there is one thing you may not know, this house, including the workshop and Zhuangzi, is my daughter-in-law's, to put it bluntly, even I am borrowing here, what kind of face do I have to take people from the Gu family? ”

"What?" Xu Maoyuan looked shocked and looked at him in disbelief, "What you said is true?" ”

Xu Huaiyi nodded, and said lightly, "The money in the family is all earned by my daughter-in-law, and the house and land she bought are in her name, isn't that natural?" ”

Xu Maoyuan, "......"

The others didn't know what to say for a while.

This thing is really unbelievable, although this dynasty allows women to set up a household and have private property, but for thousands of years of tradition, people still agree that the industry is men's, and only men have the right to inherit, and women only have their own dowry.

After half a ring, Village Chief Xu was the first to calm down, "I know what to do, when the time comes, Mao Yuan, you take the initiative to take it, you are brothers, they live with you, and they should also be shared." ”

In this way, Xu Huaiyi can be cleaned up to the greatest extent and will not affect his reputation.

Xu Maoyuan sighed, "Yes, just live on my side." ”

Xu Huaiyi's eyes flashed, thinking to himself, he has helped so much in the village, and he has finally seen the results, even if he is 'unfilial', they are willing to stand on his side, and take the initiative to make peace for him.

He cleared his throat, "Uncle, you don't have to be embarrassed, if they really come to us, then they must build a house to settle down, so many people, all borrow other people's houses, stumbling, three days and two days are fine, a long time, maybe how many things will happen, or, let's take advantage of them not to come, we will now take advantage of their not coming, we will set aside a vacant land, first build some simple houses, let them live temporarily, and wait for the spring of next year, with surplus money in hand, each family will divide the land and build another." ”

Xu Maoyuan was stunned, "Can this work?" ”

"Why not? How much trouble does this avoid, whose house is not big, forced into people, squeezed in, can life be happy? ”

"That ...... build a house"

"I'll pay for it, and the big guys will help."

"Then you're not at a loss?"

"Don't suffer a loss, when they have a new house in the future, they all move out, and the vacant house will be regarded as a workshop, and it will not be wasted."

"You're going to open another workshop?"

"I have this plan, but I haven't figured out what to do yet, and I'll talk about it later."

Xu Maoyuan had nothing to say, and looked at Village Chief Xu, who said in a deep voice, "I think Huaiyi's proposal is good, I don't know how many people can come, if it is all about it, more than a hundred people, it is indeed a little troublesome, no matter who lives in it, there will inevitably be contradictions, and it is not comfortable, it is better to build a new house as Huaiyi said, and give them a temporary transition." ”

Xu Huaiyi nodded, "Uncle, don't bother the two masters, it's still hard for you, how to build the house, you have experience, just follow the drawings I gave you before." ”

As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from his bosom and handed it over.

Xu Maoyuan took it mechanically, "Okay, I know." ”

Seeing this, Village Chief Xu suggested, "Huaiyi, if you have plenty of money, you can simply buy another Zhuangzi, and the house will be built in the Zhuangzi, so that you can kill two birds with one stone, and you won't waste it." ”

What's even better is that those people from my hometown came and lived in Zhuangzi, so they were far away from each other, and they didn't have to cause trouble.

Xu Huaiyi said with a smile, "It's still the village chief's thoughtfulness, then I'll go to the village chief tomorrow morning to ask, there is still vacant land around, it's not too much to buy land, you can use it." ”

After finalizing these things, the next step is to talk about business.

Liu Xiuwen showed Xu Huaiyi the recent accounts, the amount has increased more than ten times, this is just the beginning, and then Su Zhe tasted the sweetness, and the demand will continue to increase, so the workshop is really rich.

Gao Zhuang reported on the handover with Steward Li, now because the city and outside the city are busy with disaster relief, it is not a good time to launch a new hot pot, so the base materials and bean curd are all transported by the caravan to the northwest to test the water, however, the disaster relief has been stable in the past two days, and Shui Yunxuan is already preparing to launch new activities.

Xu Huaixiao also said that the production plan of the workshop, the personnel are in place, and there is no need to work overtime at present, and it remains to be seen what the situation will be in the future.

Meng Erzhu also spoke hard, although he stumbled, but all the things he had purchased recently were clearly explained.

Finally, Village Chief Xu made a summary, the tofu workshop is developing well and thriving, as long as everyone works together, there is a lot to do.

After the meeting ended, Xu Huaiyi prepared a gift for everyone and let them happily carry it home.
