The next morning, Cao Xiangnan brought his father to the town and came to Wang's house. He introduced himself and explained his purpose at the door. The servant guarding the door did not even say a word to let him in, but waved his hand and hurriedly said, "Go, go, our master is not at home."

"You!" Cao's father was furious. Cao Xiangnan stopped his father and winked at him, asking him to be patient.

"Young man, your master..." As he spoke, he stuffed a piece of silver in his hand into the other person's hand. Cao Xiangnan stared at the other person closely, with a smile on his face but no smile in his eyes.

From the other person's eyes, Cao Xiangnan was sure that Master Wang was in the mansion. He lowered his voice and said, "Young man, if your master is in the mansion, please go in and tell him."

He flipped his hand, and there was another piece of silver in his palm.

Money can make the devil work, and this saying is applicable everywhere.

"Young master, let me tell you, our master is still angry now, and he said..." After taking the money in his hand, the gatekeeper hesitated for a while, and still secretly told the other person about the things in the mansion.

They, the servants, are not unaware of the things in the mansion. The master married several young and beautiful maids at his old age, so the life in the mansion is very lively. Cao Shijun gave birth to two boys for the master, and he used to live a glorious life in the mansion. However, who would have thought that he would harm the master's own flesh and blood, so he was divorced and sent back to his parents' home. The master had ordered that Cao Shijun not be allowed to enter the house again.

He was a gatekeeper, and he only got a few taels of silver every month, which was not enough for him to drink a pot of wine. It would be a waste not to take this silver, which was equivalent to his salary for half a year. The gatekeeper looked greedily at the other person's hand holding another piece of silver.

"Go in and tell the message, and this is yours." Cao Xiangnan was not wrong about the greed in the other person's eyes. He flipped his hand and took back the silver in his palm, saying.

"Okay, you guys wait here." The gatekeeper gnashed his teeth and went in. He just went in to announce the news, and the silver was his.

Cao Adie, who was following beside him, felt distressed when he saw Si'er spend a piece of silver at a time, but now he couldn't go to ask for the silver back. He muttered, "Why did you give the silver to the gatekeeper?" He shook his head and sighed. It was definitely unfair for him to give the silver.

Cao Xiangnan curled his lips and said nothing. He didn't feel bad for spending the money, but those who saw him spending the money felt the pain for him first. Seeing the gatekeeper go in to announce the news and wait outside for news, he vaguely felt that this trip was in vain.

When the master in the house heard the gatekeeper servant come in to announce that someone from the Cao family wanted to see him, he said angrily, "No, no!"

"Yes, yes, yes." The little servant was almost hit by the tea bowl that was thrown out, and hurriedly responded, bowed and retreated. After walking a few steps, he could still hear the sobbing sound coming from the house, as well as the voice of their master coaxing. The servant who left said in his heart.

"Sorry to bother you, little brother." As he expected, the servant who came out shook his head at him. Cao Xiangnan gave a piece of broken silver to the gatekeeper servant. Seeing that no one entered the mansion, he went over and asked a question in a low voice.

The little servant glanced around and responded.

"Father, let's go." The two silver coins were not wasted. Cao Xiangnan learned what he wanted to know from the mouth of the gatekeeper, and turned around to say to his father who was waiting behind him.

Seeing that his father was unwilling to leave, he said, "I'll think of a way when I get back."

Staring at the servant who took his son's silver, Cao Ashan wanted to take the silver back without even seeing the person. When the gatekeeper saw the other person looking at him, he immediately covered the bag containing the silver with his hand, turned around and went into the mansion.

"..." Cao Xiangnan.

Cao Ashan took a look at the mansion, retracted his gaze, hunched over, shook his head, and walked out.

The boy guarding the carriage helped the old man and helped him into the carriage.

Cao Xiangnan, who followed behind, got into the carriage, "Go back to the village." He said.

The carriage went back to Caojia Village. Cao Xiangnan sent his father back to the compound, but he did not go in with him. When his father got off the carriage and went inside, he got on the carriage and asked Liu Yuan to go home first. Since they were already back, they might as well go home. Cao Chunqing, who was in the house, ran out when he heard the sound. Seeing that only his father had returned and no one else, he asked anxiously, "Dad, did you see the old man?"

Cao's father looked as if he wanted to say something but stopped. The meaning on his face was also very obvious. He did not see anyone. Facing his third brother's expectant eyes, he couldn't bear to disappoint him, and only said, "Your fourth brother said he would find a way."

"How come you didn't see the old man?" Cao Chunqing didn't believe that his fourth brother didn't even see the old man. His eyes widened with fear, and he asked in a shrill voice, "If you didn't see the old man, how did you tell the old man to take me back? And my Shou'er and Fu'er, father, have you seen my Shou'er and Fu'er?"

Father Cao met his third brother's anxious eyes and shook his head. He didn't even see the old man Wang, let alone his two grandchildren.

His third brother had been married for so many years, but he had never brought the children back, and he hadn't even seen his grandchildren. Cao Ashan knew in his heart that what happened back then was wrong for them as a father and mother, but hasn't his third brother been living well in that mansion for so many years?

"Fourth brother? Where's fourth brother? Didn't you go together? Why didn't he come back with you?" Cao Chunqing looked around and saw that only his father had come back, but not his fourth brother. "Didn't fourth brother say he would help me? Why didn't fourth brother come back with you?"

Now he was sent back to his mother's house. He didn't have enough food or clothes. The house was uninhabitable. For breakfast, his second brother boiled a pot of water, but there was not even a grain of rice in the bowl. He ate coarse grains that were hard to swallow. He had to look at his mother's face all the time. It was like a year of suffering.

The clothes he was wearing were old clothes given to him by his eldest brother. Without the gold and silver jewelry, he looked dull and ten years older, like a village boy.

The gold and silver jewelry he had accumulated over the years were all in the mansion. He didn't take any of them out. How could he be willing to leave?

No, he had to go back to the mansion. His things were his, and no one could take them away! Cao Chunqing could only hope that his two sons could help him, their mother, take care of those things and wait for him to go back and get them.

"He's back, your fourth brother is back." Cao Ashan shook his head and went into the house, leaving the people behind. Cao

Chunqing glanced in the direction of the gate and hesitated. He wanted to go out but didn't dare to. He stood there in a dilemma.

In the village, any little news spreads quickly, and soon everyone in Caojia Village knew that Chen Zhu's third brother Cao Chunqing, who had married into the town, was divorced by her husband's family and now returned to Caojia Village. Recently, everyone in the village has been talking about this matter.

In the past, Caojia Village only had a few brick and tile houses. The people in the village lived on a few acres of land. They could not even fill their stomachs, so where did they get the extra money to build houses? Chen Zhu's family could live in a brick and tile house because he sent his son to a family in the town to be a servant. Every year, he kept sending good things back. The house was built with the money he sent.

Chen Zhu had not been getting along well with his fellow villagers and neighbors for many years. His son was sent to an old man in the town to be a servant, and he lived in a brick and tile house. His son was a scholar, so he looked down on the people in the village. The people in the village also did not like Chen Zhu's character, and over time, they did not interact much.

Now his third brother was sent back to his parents' home by the people in the town. It was not a good reputation for a married brother to be sent back. Many people were waiting to see Chen Zhu laugh at him.

Qi Wanfeng naturally could not hear the rumors in the village. He seldom went into the village now, or almost never went into the village. Except for a few nearby houses, he seldom interacted with the people in the village.

He heard the sound of the carriage returning, and soon heard the familiar footsteps coming back. Qi Wanfeng held Xiao Baoer in his arms and smiled at his husband who was walking towards him. The child in his arms stared with beautiful eyes and looked cute.

Cao Xiangnan walked over, reached out and touched Xiao Baoer's face, and had to admit that the little guy looked really good. The young man who was touched by him looked at him warily and buried his head in his wife's arms.

"..." Cao Xiangnan.

"Husband, how come you came back so soon? Have you settled the matter of third brother?" Qi Wanfeng knew that husband went to town with his father early this morning to settle the matter of third brother. Based on his understanding of his mother, his third brother was sent back by his husband's family, and his life would not be easy.

Although he didn't like his third brother in his heart, he later heard that his third brother wanted to give his husband two concubines, but his husband refused. Qi Wanfeng always felt a little uncomfortable with his third brother in his heart.

But this was husband's brother after all, and he couldn't say anything bad about his third brother in front of husband.

Cao Xiangnan shook his head and told Wanfeng that he didn't even see Wang's face when he went to his house, "...so this matter is not easy to deal with now." He said.

Following her husband in, after hearing what her husband said, Qi Wanfeng nodded in understanding.

"Hey, you finally sit up?" After coming in and seeing his fat boy sitting there playing, Cao Xiangnan walked over, sat down behind his son with his legs crossed, held the child between his legs, and helped him to play with the small toys in front of him.

His son only changed his position when he was tired of lying down, otherwise he could keep the same position for a long time.

"Aiya..." As soon as Xiaobaoer came in and saw Lele, he babbled and called to come over.

"These two kids will definitely be good brothers when they grow up." Qi Wanfeng sat down holding the child and put Xiaobaoer in front of his Lele. Xiaobaoer was still a little young and couldn't sit steadily by himself. He needed someone to support him so as not to fall.

"What should we do now?" Qi Wanfeng asked after listening to what her husband said about the third brother.

"It's okay." Cao Xiangnan spread his hands and raised his smiling eyes. He found that Wanfeng was staring at him, and he hurriedly said, "I'll go to the town later and do my best for this matter."

"Yeah." Qi Wanfeng nodded. After all, it was someone else's business. They could only do their best to help.
