Xu Mo looked around and saw no one else, so it was him that was being called.
Xu Mo's second uncle Xu Jianguo looked around and immediately ran to Xu Mo's side, pulled him aside, and said with a smile, "My dear nephew, you are so rich now! Look at what you wear and use, they are all good. Ever since you married a beautiful girl, your family has become rich all of a sudden!
Your family used to be the poorest in the village, but now you have suddenly become the object of flattery by the whole village!
Haha, this is really shit luck... No, it's good luck."
Xu Mo looked at Xu Jianguo coldly, "What on earth do you want?"
"Haha, it's nothing. You have enough food and clothes now, and you have more money than you can spend. You should at least think about your uncle!
I am your second uncle, and we are related by blood. I even held you in my arms when you were little."
Xu Mo said nothing, just looked at him silently.
His second uncle's attitude towards him is indeed much better now. When his father was still lying in the hospital, thinking about what his second uncle did to his family, he can only describe it as heartbreaking.
However, if it weren't for my second uncle's family, the two families had little contact before, and it is impossible for them to have any contact now.
Seeing Xu Mo's cold face, Xu Jianguo couldn't continue speaking, so he simply stated his purpose, "Look, now that we've come to this point, you should at least give me some meat! I haven't had meat for a long time.
I heard that you guys have meat for every meal now, and it smells really good. You don't have to lie to me, I have a very good nose, I can smell it.
The smell of the meat was so good that I could still drool even from a distance away.
Hey, my dear nephew, when you become rich, you must repay those people in our village who treat you well! If you eat alone, you will get an upset stomach. If you have too much money but don’t do good deeds, you will be punished.”
Xu Mo looked at him with amusement, "It seems that Second Uncle has suffered a lot of grievances at home! He is so greedy. I have to ask my cousin's wife how she supports the old man. She actually left Second Uncle with little food and clothing and even begged for food."
Xu Mo was too lazy to waste time talking to anyone, so he simply bypassed Xu Jianguo and went to the second branch of the Xu family.
Xu Jianguo was startled and tried to stop them, but the person had already entered the yard.
He now had only one thought in his mind: he was doomed.
Xu Jianguo was so angry that his teeth were itching. This Xu Mo had now learned how to play tricks on him.
Not daring to go back to the house, he walked cautiously to the gate, lay on it, and watched the situation inside.
When Xu Mo entered the yard, his cousin Qian Juan was washing clothes by the well in the yard.
"Cousin's wife."
"Xu Mo, why are you here?"
Xu Mo did not waste any time on small talk and said, "My second uncle told me that he wanted to eat meat and asked me for some meat. I wanted to ask my cousin, does my second uncle usually lack food and drink?"
The words were said very tactfully, but any smart person could hear them.
What I mean is, your second uncle has reached the point where he has to beg for alms. As his daughter-in-law, are you mistreating the old man too harshly?
Qian Juan's face darkened and she became angry.
"Xu Mo, you should know what kind of person your cousin's wife is. She never takes advantage of others and she has never been a bad daughter-in-law.
I swear to God, we have never treated your second uncle badly when we have something to eat on a daily basis. Last time, the village distributed two pounds of wild boar meat. I was frugal and only had that much meat every three to five days. I only finished the meat the other day.
He only ate meat the day before yesterday, and he eats the most meat every time, so why does he say he is short of meat? "
Qian Juan was furious. She threw the clothes in her hands and shouted to the house, "Xu Damao, pack up your father's things and throw them to him. I want to separate from him. That old guy has a lot of things to do every day. I don't want to serve him anymore. He can do whatever he wants in the future. Even if he eats dragon meat, I don't care."
After hearing what his wife said, Qian Juan's husband Xu Damao quickly packed up his father's things and threw them into the yard.
Xu Jianguo could no longer sit there and wait, so he hurried back to stop them. "Da Mao, what are you doing? Take my things back quickly. I won't split up the family."
He won't split the family property. If he does, who will feed him, clothe him and wash his clothes?
Xu Damao glanced at his wife, who looked very strict with him.
"Dad, my wife wants to divide the family, I will listen to her."
Xu Jianguo rolled his eyes at his silly son, then looked at Qian Juan in a flattering manner, "Daughter-in-law, I am your father, how can you say that we should split up the family? I only have one son, Damao, do you really want to abandon me?
If that's the case, I'll have to go to the village chief and have a good talk with him.
Don’t blame me for ruining your reputation and making you lose face in the village.”
Xu Jianguo was determined to go all out today. It was fine if he had to endure the anger of his daughter-in-law on weekdays, but now she wanted to divide the family property. If she dared to do so, he would hang himself at the head of her bed.
Qian Juan rolled her eyes and snorted, "Dad, I'm going to make it clear to you today, this family is divided.
Don't forget, this house was built with money from my parents' side, and it has nothing to do with you. Now that the family has been divided, I can still give you a room to live in. If you continue to make trouble, I will have no choice but to kick you out.
You can live wherever you like. By the way, don’t you have a good daughter who married to the city? Don’t you and your mother give all your things to your daughter and son-in-law?
Since you are trying so hard to curry favor with your son-in-law in the city, then you should go live with your daughter-in-law and go find your son-in-law!
Why, you don't dare to go! You also know that your daughter is an ungrateful person!
Humph, if you go, let’s see if your daughter will recognize you.
So, your daughter-in-law is unreliable, and your daughter-in-law is in prison. Now you can only rely on your son and daughter-in-law. I accommodate you because you are pitiful. If you make us angry again, I will make sure that you, the old guy, can't rely on anyone.
Dad, I will ask you one last time, do you want to divide this family or not?"
Xu Jianguo was so angry that he dared not speak.
He knew his daughter-in-law's ability and she always kept her word. Even if the matter was brought to the attention of the village chief, this woman would turn black into white.
Xu Jianguo didn't dare to glare at Qian Juan, so he glared at his own stupid son.
Look at the behavior of his son. He is so cowardly that he can't even take care of his wife. He just stands there like a wooden stake. It's unlucky to look at him.
Xu Damao felt wronged when he saw his father glaring at him. He pulled his wife's sleeve and cried, "Wife, my father glared at me. It's so scary."
"Dad, why are you staring at Damao? I'm asking you whether you want to split up the family or not! Say it quickly." His voice was very loud.
Xu Jianguo was so frightened that he was stunned.
I quickly agreed, "Let's split it, let's split it."
The main thing is that I dare not not distinguish!
Qian Juan was also a man of action. She quickly divided the family's food money into two and gave them to Xu Jianguo.
Xu Jianguo regretted it so much that he shouldn't have asked Xu Mo, that ungrateful guy, for the meat.
You bastard boy, you just have some money, but you will always get into trouble.
snort.
Xu Mo had achieved his goal, so he left his second uncle's house.
Qian Juan chased after him again, "Xu Mo, wait a minute."
"What's wrong, cousin?"
"That's right. I have to apologize to you. We both know what kind of person your second uncle is. He always likes to make trouble. I am also responsible for what happened today. I didn't think highly of him. But don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future."
Xu Mo smiled and said, "I feel relieved with what my cousin said. It's getting late, so I'll go back."
"Hey! Good."
Xu Mo left without further greeting.
He and Qian Juan had no relationship, and the two families had even less relationship.
It's just maintaining a little bit of decent family affection.
No need to waste time on politeness.
After Xu Mo left, Xu Damao asked, "Wife, Xu Mo is rich now, married to a woman from the city, and his mother-in-law's family is powerful, why don't we go and curry favor with them!"
