Two carriages entered Caojia Village and stopped in front of the gate of Caojia Courtyard.

Two maids in the carriage at the back got off, followed by two slaves who got off and carried the things in the carriages. The curtain of the carriage in front was lifted, a jade hand stretched out and placed on the back of the guard's hand, and the people inside got off.

"Knock knock--" The old slave who followed knocked on the door first and waited there for the door to open.

"Who is it?" Cao Fugui heard the sound inside and came out to open the door. When he opened the door, he saw the person standing at the door and stood there without moving.

"Brother, don't you recognize your third brother?" The boy at the door asked with a smile.

The one who came back was Cao Chunqing, the third child of the Cao family. She was dressed in silk and satin, with a pair of large gold bracelets on her wrists. She looked noble and her face, which was covered with rouge and powder, looked even more gorgeous. It was obvious that she was living a good life in her husband's family.

Since she married into Caojia Village, she has never returned to this place.

"Yes, yes, no, no, no..." Cao Fugui stuttered for a while. When he saw his third brother who had returned, he stuttered for a while, and finally found his tongue, "Remember, remember, third brother, it's you who came back."

"Yes, brother, I'm back." The smile on Cao Chunqing's face was not sincere at all, and even a little fake.

But at this moment, Cao Fugui was immersed in the joy of his third brother's return, and did not look carefully at the smile on his third brother's face. "Come in quickly, Dad and Mom are all in the house!" He said hurriedly.

Cao Chunqing stepped in and looked around the dilapidated yard, with a flash of disgust in his eyes. Behind him were the little slaves holding things and the old mom who served him. He was so arrogant after coming back.

"My Chun'er is back, Chun'er, Mom has been looking forward to your return day and night, and you are back." When Chen Zhu heard that his third brother was back, he ran out of the house without even tidying up his clothes.

"Aunt." Cao Chunqing's hand was held by his aunt. The smile on his face was a little stiff, and he pulled his hand away without being noticed. He had not forgotten that his aunt sold him to an old man who was two years older than him as a servant for five taels of betrothal money. If he had not been pregnant and gave birth to two boys, he would have been promoted to the side room. Now he is also loved by the grandmother and the old man, but after all, he is still a servant, which makes people look down on him.

If he was not afraid that people in the mansion would say that he was unfilial, he would not have asked people to send some money to his mother's house for food and daily necessities. It is not impossible that he did not blame his aunt for selling him to an old man who was so much older than him. So after so many years, the things he asked people to send back have arrived, but he has never come back.

He looked at his father behind him and called out "Father."

"Well, the third brother is back." Cao Ashan saw his third brother who had returned, took a look, and said "Hmm". He also knew from the people who sent things to the house in recent years that his third brother was favored in the mansion and had two boys. "Children, why didn't you bring them here?" he asked.

"Shou'er and Fu'er are in the mansion with the old grandmother, so it's inconvenient for me to bring them together." Cao Chunqing had no intention of bringing his two children here. Who made the eldest wife disappointing and gave birth to three boys in a row? Naturally, the two boys born by him were the most loved by the old grandmother. When he mentioned his two sons, the smile on his face became more sincere.

"Oh, oh, so that's not good." Cao Ashan said with a somewhat lonely expression on his face.

"Don't stand there, sit down, sit down." Chen Zhu was as happy as if he had seen gold when he saw his third brother come back. How did his third brother come back? But he was so happy.

An old nanny wiped the chair with a towel and let his master sit down.

"You are just too disciplined!" Cao Chunqing glanced at the youngest who followed, but there was no blame in her words.

Chen Li also came over from that room with her children, calling "Third Uncle" enthusiastically, as if they had not seen each other for so many years. He married into this family for only a few years, and his third uncle married into a wealthy family in the town to be a concubine.

This person is just lucky, so what if he is a concubine? Even though she was pregnant with two boys, she still wore gold and gold clothes and was no worse than the wife of the first wife! He is nothing like him. He gave birth to two boys for the Cao family, but they are not worth a fart.

"Third uncle." Wang Yan also came out with the child. He was no longer noisy as before. He just sat quietly beside him after calling him Third uncle. But the boy next to him was not honest and was shouting.

"Third brother^" When Cao Gaojin saw his third brother coming back, his thoughts were similar to his mother's. When he was in the town, he went to his third brother several times and borrowed money several times, but he never paid it back. He

was afraid that his third brother would annoy him later and even disappeared.

Cao Chunqing responded indifferently. He didn't like his fifth brother very much. When he was young, he was most jealous of this fifth brother who was loved by his mother. His mother would beat and scold him for no reason. She really loved this fifth brother to the core of her heart.

This fifth brother had come to him several times under the pretext of borrowing money. This time his mother's family came to the mansion to look for him, which was simply a loss of face for him. Later, he ordered the gatehouse not to let anyone in and to chase him away if they came.

If he had a reliable mother's family to help him during those years, he wouldn't have had such a hard time. Now he came back, after all, for his own affairs in the mansion, otherwise he wouldn't have smiled so shamelessly with these people.

"Auntie Ping, didn't I ask you to bring some candies and snacks? Give them to the little ones." Cao Chunqing said.

"Yes, yes, yes, see I forgot." The old grandmother replied.

The candies were distributed, and each of the children in the room shouted for a piece.

Chen Zhu was distressed when he saw this. How could so much candy be given to the little ones without keeping some for them? How could so much be given to them at once? He glanced at the things that were sent to him, and his eyes were filled with joy and greed. These were all his things.

"Oh, where's your fourth brother? Why isn't he at home?" Cao Chun asked casually.

When he was young, he had the best relationship with his fourth brother. Both of them were not favored at home. They were the middle children. They had an older brother above them and a youngest one below them. It was not their turn to be liked by their father and mother. Even when their mother was alive, she would not even look at them, especially him, who was still a younger brother!

When he was sold by his mother to be a servant to the master of a wealthy family in the town, his fourth brother found out and went to his father and mother to make a scene. He was beaten with a cane by his father.

Those things back then seemed to be still vivid in his mind, but after so many years, things and people have changed. He came back this time because he heard that his fourth brother had made a fortune.

"Your fourth brother, they moved out to live outside." When Cao Ashan mentioned the fourth brother who moved out, his face was a little uncomfortable.

"Fourth brother moved out, where did he move to?" Cao Chunqing asked.

"It's in the old house where we used to live. Your fourth brother is a capable man. He built a yard by himself. That yard is not smaller than this one." Cao Ashan said.

"Oh, really? Daddy wants to tell me how the fourth brother is capable?" Cao Chunqing asked with a smile.

"Your fourth brother, he..." Later, Cao Ashan mentioned his fourth son, and there was a bit of pride and boasting on his face.

This married boy is naturally different from the boy who stayed with him. The boy went to someone else's house to give birth to a child. No matter how good the land is, it is not as good as the boy of his own family. After all, the child born is also surnamed Cao, and recognizes the same ancestor.

Chen Zhu was unhappy when he saw that his head of the family kept talking about the unfilial son with the fourth son. Later, he changed the subject and asked about his fourth son's life in the mansion. Cao Chunqing mentioned a few things briefly, and what he said was more true than the truth, only he knew it.

"Mom, I won't stay here for dinner. I'm going to visit my fourth brother, and then I have to hurry back home. Shou'er and Fu'er will look for me." This trip was not in vain, and he also learned a lot about his fourth brother. The smile on Cao Chunqing's face was more sincere.

Before leaving, Cao Chunqing winked at the youngest who followed him, and the youngest handed a money bag to him, and he gave it to his mom personally. Seeing his mom take the money bag and smile, he felt disgusted in his heart.

This must be a few taels of silver! Chen Zhu held the money bag, but he didn't open it immediately to see.

"Come on, Dad will take you there." Cao Ashan said.

The people who saw them off at the door waved their hands, and Cao Chunqing got on the carriage without any reluctance. Behind him was his father who got on with him, taking him to his fourth brother, and along the way he said a lot of good things about his fourth brother.

The carriage went to his fourth brother, and Cao Ashan took his third brother in.

"Dad..." Why are you here? When Cao Xiangnan met a pair of smiling eyes looking at him, he was choked by the following words. There was a kind of excitement in his heart, because of the excitement of this person's arrival. He knew that this was not his own emotion, but the true reaction of the original body of this body, "Third brother!" He shouted.

"It's Third Brother, Third Brother is here to see you, Fourth Brother, have you been doing well these years?" Cao Chunqing's smile only became more sincere when he saw his Fourth Brother. "

I, I'm fine, Third Brother, have you been doing well?" Cao Xiangnan asked.

"Third Brother is also doing well." Cao Chunqing replied with a smile.

"Third Brother is fine, so Fourth Brother is happy. Look how happy I am to see Third Brother, Father, Third Brother, hurry into the house." Cao Xiangnan hurriedly led people into the house. His Third Brother had not returned to Caojia Village since he got married, so why did he come back this time?

He did have some impressions of this Third Brother in his mind, and of course there was also the scene when his Third Brother was forced to marry the old man of a big family in the town as a servant. That old man is old enough to be their grandfather. It's their mother's fault. He deserves to be disliked by them!

When Cao Chunqing got married, Cao Xiangnan had not yet married, so Qi Wanfeng had never seen his third brother Cao Chunqing, let alone the children at home.

"This is my wife Qi Wanfeng." Cao Xiangnan introduced the people in the family one by one. It happened that Fang Ziye was also sleeping in the house at this time, so he avoided meeting strangers. As for An Ning, she took the children to play with Bai Lian across the street, so as not to disturb the people who were resting in the house.

"Third brother." Qi Wanfeng shouted after his husband and put the hot tea in front of the guest.

Cao Chunqing looked around the room, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He was just not very satisfied with his fourth brother's son. This Ma Da was almost as grown up as a man. He was waiting to go back and select two young servants for his fourth brother to serve him. How could this house be without gentle and considerate servants?

"This is the fourth boy Cao Ruile. There are three other little ones playing with brother Cao Gang across the street." Cao Xiangnan said and wanted Wanfeng to call the little ones back.

"No, no need to shout, I'll just come and sit for a while and leave. Let the children play over there." Cao Chunqing saw the child in his fourth brother's arms and said with a smile, "This child is quite handsome." Qi Wanfeng glanced at his husband and saw his husband nodded.

Cao Chunqing said that he was here to sit for a while, and he really was here to sit for a while and leave. He drank a cup of tea and left without even having lunch. He did ask his fourth brother to go to his house to find him when he went to the town.

When the carriage left, Cao Xiangnan felt a little strange.

It was impossible for this person to come back to find him for no reason. , and still with such a friendly attitude? Just because Cao Chunqing had been gone for so many years and had never come back to Caojia Village once, he didn't think such a person was nostalgic.

And he had not forgotten his third brother's neglect of Wanfeng, which made him feel uncomfortable.

When the carriage went back, it also took his father back, so he didn't have to send him back to the village. Seeing the carriage go, Cao Xiangnan turned around and went back to the house.
