When Tai Jizu heard the villagers shouting, he hurried out to greet them and soon came in with Manager Min.
Everyone was very familiar with Manager Min, and greeted him warmly, just like one of their own family members.
Manager Min kept smiling and nodding, and exchanged a few words.
He often goes out, is good at observing people's words and expressions, and is also smooth-talking. He can easily make anyone happy when talking to him.
As a result, the villagers treated him more warmly and friendly.
Even Zhuzhu ran over with a chicken leg in her hand and hugged Manager Min's thigh.
"Uncle Min, you haven't been here for a long time! Do you miss Zhuzhu?"
"Of course I did!" Steward Min laughed, bent down and picked up the fat girl and replied, "Uncle Min came in a hurry this time and didn't bring you any delicious food. I'll give it to you next time, okay?"
"Okay!" The fat girl responded happily in a baby voice, "My mother said that Zhuzhu is a grown-up girl now and can't be greedy!"
Manager Min looked at the chicken leg in her hand, which was greasy and fragrant, and couldn't help laughing again!
This fat girl's words are not convincing at all!
After entering the house, Old Master Tai and Third Master Tai asked Manager Min to sit at the head seat, and Zhuzhu sat beside him, and then they started eating in a lively atmosphere.
Everyone talked about the harvest in the fields, the hardships of the past, and the latest news in the city. Accompanied by delicious food and hot liquor, everyone was extremely satisfied.
The consequence was that most of the men in the village, young and old, got drunk again, with the exception of Mr. Tai, of course.
The women in and outside the yard were busy tidying up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, so he invited Manager Min to come into the house for some tea to sober up.
Zhuzhu is clingy and sits in her grandfather's arms to listen to the fun.
Steward Min took out a letter from his bosom and said, "Uncle, the postman from the post station delivered a letter today. I think it's from Yongning. I was afraid he had something urgent to tell me, so I rushed it here!"
"Oh?" Old Master Tai quickly took it, opened it and started reading.
When the old man was young, he joined the army to survive. Unexpectedly, he was lucky enough to be appreciated by the old general and became a personal guard.
The personal guards serve the general, so naturally they must be illiterate.
It can be said that the old general taught him calligraphy one by one. Even now, at an old age, he still hasn't forgotten a single word.
After reading almost ten lines at a glance, he frowned tightly, with anger and more heartache in his expression.
Manager Min originally didn't want to ask, fearing that it might involve the Tai family's secrets, but the old man's expression made him really confused, so he tentatively asked, "Uncle, is Yongning doing well in the exam in the prefectural city? Is there anything I can help you with?"
The old man waved his hand, "Don't worry, Yongning is fine and will be back in a dozen days. It's just that he ran into a child he knew well in our family!"
"Back then, when that child went south to look for his relatives, Jiye and Yong'an sent him there. They said he was settled in a safe place, but now he's begging and wandering around. I'm really worried..."
Without waiting for Manager Min to respond, Zhuzhu suddenly raised her head and threw away the wooden carriage she was playing with.
"Grandpa, it's Brother Ruiyang! Was Brother Ruiyang abandoned by his father?"
The old man quickly hugged his granddaughter and comforted her, "I don't know why he ended up wandering around, but he's with your second brother now, and he'll definitely take care of him!"
Zhuzhu pouted, still worried.
"Grandpa, Brother Ruiyang's father is a bad man. He must be mean to Brother Ruiyang."
The old man was also feeling frustrated and angry. If he had known this would happen, he should not have sent Chen Ruiyang over there.
Manager Min didn't know Chen Ruiyang's identity, but seeing that the old man and Zhuzhu cared so much about him, he guessed that this child was loved and cherished by the Tai family.
So he asked, "Uncle, do you want me to ask a caravan I know to bring this child back as soon as possible?"
"No need!" Mr. Tai refused outright, then added, "I'll go there myself!"
Before he could finish his words, the half-drunk Tai Jiye sent all the guests away, arranged for Banxianer to sleep in the side room, and then came over to talk to Manager Min.
As a result, as soon as he entered the house, he was slapped by his father!
"I'll beat you to death, you unreliable thing!"
Tai Jiye was stunned. Looking at his little niece who was about to cry with a pout, and Manager Min who had a sympathetic look on his face, he quickly knelt down.
"Dad, don't be angry! Tell me what your son did wrong, and I will definitely change!"
"Uncle San, it's Brother Ruiyang!" The fat girl burst into tears and shouted, "Brother Ruiyang was driven out by the bad father, and Second Brother saved Brother Ruiyang!"
Tai Jiye's head buzzed and his face turned pale.
Occasionally, he would dream that Chen Ruiyang was not doing well at night, but when he woke up, he thought it was because he did not send him there in person, which left him with some worries and led to his wild imagination.
Who would have thought it was actually true!
"Dad, Ruiyang... Ruiyang..." He wanted to ask, but was afraid of asking something bad, so his lips kept trembling.
Seeing him like this, the old man couldn't bring himself to slap him anymore.
At this time, Tai Jizu, Tai Jizong and Yang Lihua all heard the noise and rushed over.
The old man recounted the story, and Yang Lihua immediately grabbed the letter and began to read. As she put it down, her eyes welled up. "I suspected this child's father was unreliable and didn't want him to go south. But he insisted and I couldn't stop him, so I could only make some preparations for him. But how did he end up in such a miserable state... This child has such a hard life!"
Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong were also gritting their teeth in hatred!
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Chen Ruiyang's father is worse than a beast!
The old man didn't want to say anything more, and directly ordered, "My eldest daughter-in-law, prepare some things and money for me. I will go and bring Ruiyang back immediately!"
