After going out and walking for a while, several people separated, Xu Changsong carried his things, took advantage of the moonlight, looked through them carefully, and said in a complicated tone, "Huaiyi is really generous, this gift is too thick......"

It's pastries, it's meat, it's fine linen, and the most valuable is silk cotton, which doesn't weigh much, but it's enough to make cotton clothes and pants.

Village Chief Xu was not surprised, "Huaiyi is kind, this is knowing that our family is working in the workshop with all their hearts and lungs, and he can't help it, and he would rather suffer a loss than take advantage of others, do you see this gift to be generous?" It's also thoughtful, what people are preparing with their hearts, not with silver, let's accept it, can this heart be ironed? ”

Xu Changsong nodded, the ironing is naturally ironing, but, "Huaiyi is so attentive to those of us who are not related by blood, why is he so unkind to his father and mother?" ”

Hearing this, Village Chief Xu sighed, "The approach of Xu Lao and the two of them chilled his heart, and he wanted to cover it back, how could it be so easy?" ”

Xu Changsong didn't agree very much, "There are all parents in the world, even if the elders do not do it right, but in the end, there is a blood bond, that is, they can't get along with them sincerely, at the very least, they have to deal with the past in terms of face, otherwise, wouldn't it be a mouthful?" ”

"He doesn't care."

"How can there be people who don't care about reputation?"

Xu Changsong couldn't understand it at all, frowning and muttering, "If he has a bad life and doesn't want to help the Xu family, everyone can still understand, but he is clearly not short of money now, and if he gives up a little, he can block the mouths of others, and maybe he can earn a good reputation of filial piety, why do you have to do it so much?" It's all good......"

Village Chief Xu sighed with emotion, "Why is it useless? Their family can live comfortably, why bother to find themselves unhappy for that little fame? ”

"But ......"

"Changsong, don't use your own thoughts to speculate on him, you are not him, you dare not risk the condemnation of the world, but he has the courage and confidence, why can't he live as he pleases? You see, just now, didn't we all follow his advice and stop objecting? ”

“……”

"Besides, he didn't do anything desperately, he left a line, although he didn't accept the old Xu family to live in, but he was also willing to pay money to build another house to take them in, believe it or not, if the people of the old Xu family can't eat, he will definitely not see death and not save him, or will take food out to help, of course, if the old Xu family has to inch in, want to follow him to eat and drink spicy and take advantage of it, it is also a pipe dream."

"I still don't think it's right."

"Without the suffering of others, don't persuade others to be kind, the old Xu family almost forced his daughter-in-law and daughter to death, he didn't hate the old Xu family, and he didn't retaliate even if it was benevolence and righteousness, do you still want him to greet him with a smile? Is he easy to bully, haven't you forgotten that he did to those wild wolves and mountain bandits on the road? ”

Xu Changsong shuddered, and his face changed slightly.

Village Chief Xu said earnestly, "You, you still don't understand enough, do you think Huaiyi is too ruthless?" That's wrong, he has to be really ruthless, his family left quietly and silently, why drag so many of us? He has clear grievances and is frank with those he doesn't like, isn't this much better than those hypocrites who pretend? Only when such a person is in a safe place......"

After a pause, he continued to teach his son, "Besides, he doesn't have to be afraid of falling into the hands of others, as he said, he is now the son-in-law of the Gu family, everything in the Gu family belongs to the Gu family, as long as the Gu family does not allow it, how can he be qualified to stuff the Xu family's gang of people into it to enjoy happiness?" In the future, if someone makes a joke about him not supporting the Xu family, or attacking him, he can pick himself up just by virtue of his identity as a son-in-law, unless Xu Lao'er's four sons are gone, otherwise there is no reason for his son not to support the elderly, and he has to pick up someone else's son-in-law, which is really fun. ”

When Xu Changsong heard this, he was speechless.

In another place, Xu Mao and the two were also talking about this, Xu Huaixiao rarely rubbed the soft silk cotton, and said happily, "Go back and let my mother give you cotton clothes, it will be warm, and you will not be afraid of the cold when you go out this winter, Huaiyi is wearing this, I heard him say that a thin layer can withstand the snow......"

Xu Maoyuan responded absentmindedly, and the whole person was a little depressed.

Xu Huaixiao was puzzled, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" Huaiyi sent you so much food, drink, and clothing, and everything was considered, are you still not happy? ”

Xu Maoyuan shook his head.

"Not for this? Why is that? Don't want to worry about building a house for Huaiyi? That's not troublesome, you don't have to contribute, just stare twice a day, when you're done, won't Huaiyi pay you back, you don't work in vain......"

"Shut up." Speaking of which, it is not on point.

Xu Huaixiao was scolded, but he was not annoyed, anyway, he got used to it, he asked with a smile, "You are not happy in your old heart, just say it directly, your son is an elm head, where can you guess your thoughts?" ”

Xu Mao gave him a kick vigorously, and after he took a breath, he sighed gloomily, "In my heart, I still hate your second uncle's family, the father, son, and brother of my relatives, it is my father's dereliction of duty that he did not do a good job as the patriarch, and I want to make peace with them...... Looking at Huaiyi's attitude, I'm afraid there is no hope at all. ”

Hearing this, Xu Huaixiao said casually, "Then don't talk about peace." ”

Xu Maoyuan turned his head and glared at him, "What is your attitude?" Do you still hope that they will not have a harmonious relationship? Do you want the whole village to see our Xu family's jokes? ”

Xu Huaixiao hurriedly said flatteringly, "Don't be angry, is your son that kind of person?" What the son means is that Huaiyi is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart, since he made such a decision, then there is his consideration, you really don't have to worry about this, in vain, maybe you will be disgusted, why bother? ”

"But ......"

"I know you have good intentions, but Huaiyi won't receive it, say something you don't like to hear, father's kindness can be filial piety, second uncle and second aunt, what did Huaiyi do in those years? There is nothing in the whole village that he doesn't know, can he have no grudges in his heart? Just the fact that the second uncle sold him to the Gu family as a son-in-law can make Huaiyi hate him for the rest of his life, if Huaiyi has no ability, it will be fine, but he is so capable, he will go to the court in the future, and interact with those dignitaries, with the identity of a son-in-law, you say, is it always inferior to others? It's all gentlemen, compare hearts to hearts, I can't stand it anyway. ”

"Then you blame me for it, why didn't I stop it?"

"Why are you stopping? The second uncle didn't discuss it with you, and he secretly negotiated it with the Gu family, what use did you know afterwards? Besides, the family is separated, what else can you do as the master of the second uncle? ”

“……”

"I said so much, just to let you stop worrying, since Huaiyi dares to put his attitude in front of us, that is, he has eaten the scales and has an iron heart, no one can say it, he must have thought about the pros and cons of the consequences, there must be a way to deal with it, you, just rest assured."
