Hong Yu saw that the teacup in her grandmother's hand had been shattered, but her old man's cultivation was profound, and she still maintained the shape of the teacup silently with martial energy, and those ordinary people couldn't see it.

Hong Yu felt that his grandfather owed his boss a favor, so he gritted his teeth and retreated from the main hall. He looked at his father, Hong Chengye's face was uglier than his, and he rushed away angrily with his hands behind his back.

Hong Yu muttered in his heart to go see his eldest brother, and Hong Lie also wondered: "I don't know what's going on, we have a cold ass with a hot face?"

Hong Yu nodded, separated from his eldest brother, and prepared to hide back in his small courtyard.

When they arrived at the gate of their yard, a group of people suddenly rushed over, pointing to the bamboo forest next to Su San and Huang Qianxiu Hu in the dark last night, and said ecstatically: "Come on, come on, there is still a piece of bamboo here, all of them have been cut down, and they should be able to weave dozens of baskets when they are broken into bamboo strips, which should be enough." ”

Then more than a dozen people rushed up with a cheer, waving the firewood knife in their hands, and under the stunned eyes of Hong Yu and others, they cut down the rather elegant bamboo forest in an instant, and then did not say hello to Hong Yu, dragging the bamboo and roaring away.

Hong Yu pinched his nose again: "Forget it, the young master is not an elegant character anyway, just cut it." ”

He comforted himself so much, most of it was still for his grandfather's sake.

Entering the small courtyard, Hong Yu put his hands behind his back, of course he was very unhappy in his heart: "Uncle Shen, Uncle Yin, you come in with me."

Hong Shen and Hong Yin didn't want to go, but he couldn't go against the young master's wishes, so he had to enter the door hard, Hong Yu sat down in the house, and asked solemnly: "Uncle Shen, Uncle Yin, you all came out of the village with your grandfather, you must know what is going on." ”

Hong Shen Hongyin glanced at each other: "Young master, this kind of family background, how can we say it, although we are also surnamed Hong, but the relationship between relatives is already very far away......"

Hong Yu knocked on the table: "I'm forcing you to say"

The two elders smiled bitterly, but Hong Shen said: "Okay, young master, if you want to know, I'll just say it, it's a big deal that the old man will scold me when the time comes." ”

He sorted out his thoughts for a moment before he said, "Young Master, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a dispute between the main and the side. In our Great Xia, you also know that this kind of big family has a habit that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is necessary to help each other, so that the development of a clan can be continuously maintained.

It doesn't matter if this clan is a real family in the Xungui District of Wudu City, or like the Hong family in the past, it is just a few thousand people with the same surname in a small mountain village. ”

Hong Yu nodded, of course he understood that not only in this life, but also in the new dynasty of the previous life. This ancient custom, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is actually a virtue that is deeply embedded in the marrow of Eastern culture.

"But there's something down there...... What can I say? Young master, what you said is not respectful enough, think about a group of people in a small mountain village, who have no knowledge and no knowledge, how enlightened and wise can they be? Even if it is a surname Hong, every family wants to take advantage of the group and make more benefits for themselves.

For so many years, the Hong family has only produced such a stunning and brilliant character as the master, not without reason. And the old man is not a relative of the Hong family, he is one of the closest side branches, when he was in the village before, the old man's family had a lot of disagreements with other relatives, but that was a trivial matter between relatives. In the old man's generation, in fact, there are still some comparisons between each other.

The relatives below are like this, you don't want to compare yourself with others, but others want to compare you. The lord didn't like this atmosphere, so after his parents died, he took us out to serve as soldiers. ”

Hong Yin couldn't help it: "Brother Shen, what you said is too light, you and I have experienced many things personally, so why don't you tell the young master? Let him know how knowledgeable those good relatives are?"

Hong Yu looked at Hong Yin: "Uncle Yin, come on." ”

Hong Shen wanted to stop it, but Hong Yin glared: "I'm not afraid of a big deal to go to the master to ask for those bad things back then, you can bear it, I have been holding it in my heart and not happy."

He slapped the table and said to Hong Yu: "Young master, I'll tell you a few things."

The first thing is that when the master and we were twelve or thirteen years old, the wife of the eldest grandfather in the hall today, pointed to a dozen of us and said: You people who have no interest will definitely starve to death in the future, right? Why don't you follow my son well in the future, and you can eat three or two meals. ”

Hong Yu's cheeks twitched: "Her son is the one who spoke in the hall today?"

"That's him. But at that time, people were trying to oppress us by relying on the fact that the house was the main house. ”

After he finished this, he continued: "The second thing, when the Hong family had a Xiucai who was a scribe in the county government, when he was old, he wanted to introduce a son of the Hong family to replace him, and the old Xiucai was very optimistic about the master, but the second master took a fancy to this quota, used the shili in the clan, and used all kinds of means to force the old Xiucai to comply, so he could only give this quota to his son. The second master is the old man sitting on the left hand side of the eldest master today. ”

Hong Yu was silent, and Hong Shen on the side also sighed secretly when he remembered these old things.

"The third thing, the master's father died early, and the mother and son depended on each other, needless to say how many orphans and widows were oppressed by the clansmen. When the old man's mother died, some people in the clan secretly made a hindrance, and the old lady was not allowed to bury herself in the ancestral grave of the Hong family, saying that the old lady was not married to the Ming media back then, and that the small village was poor and the clanging sound, how could it be so complete with three media and six hires? Later, we inquired that someone fell in love with the only piece of water in the master's house, and the old man Zuihou had no choice but to donate the field to the clan, and it was divided between the four families of the eldest lady. ”

Hong Yu's hand had already grasped the armrest of the chair, and he couldn't help it.

Hong Yin continued: "It was only after that we knew that we couldn't survive in the village anymore, and we came out together to join the army. But young master, you can't think of it, when the old man is developed, he will return to his hometown and save his relatives, and strange things will still happen."

Hong Yu was a little incredulous: "My grandfather was already in charge of the army at that time, and they still dare to make trouble?"
