What family with three sons would end up in this situation?
This is ancient times, not modern times.
In the Dali Dynasty, if you are not filial to your parents, you will be thrown into prison.
The scene before her made Chen Xinli guess that it must be her grandfather who took the initiative to ask to leave home.
After all, the uncles don't seem to be very united.
Especially the second and third uncles in front of her, whom Chen Xinli really couldn't like.
Instead of saying a word of concern to my grandmother, they came for a long time but showed no concern at all. Instead, they were anxious to drive my grandparents away.
Does this mean that if A Niang doesn't agree to his proposal, she will be forced to bear the crime of being unfilial?
Who was the unfilial one first?
Li Xiang wouldn't say anything about the farewells of ordinary relatives.
But this family was too slow, and they couldn't help but shout at everyone: "Everyone, leave immediately! Leave immediately!"
Seeing the ferocious look of the knife-wielding officers, Boss Wu showed a look of joy, but Second and Third Wu were not happy.
"Sir, please give us a little while longer."
Wu Laosan bowed his hands and began to pray.
Li Xiangye frowned and waved to the newcomer, "Hurry up!"
Wu Laosan walked towards Wu Yuehua and Shen Fugui: "Little sister, brother-in-law, it is really because my parents miss you so much that they want to go with you.
Right now, Ling'er's studies are at a critical juncture, and he's about to take his exams. My eldest and second brothers and I are all working odd jobs to earn money, and even your sister-in-law and the others are busy working in the fields.
My family really can't take care of my parents. When Ling Ge'er finishes high school, I will go to Shu to pick them up and you can come back too."
Looking at Wu Laoer's eager eyes.
Zhang almost wanted to curse, but was stopped by Shen Fuyou, who used his eyes to hint to her not to be impulsive.
This is the eldest brother's family affair, and they are not in a position to interfere.
Zhang gave up.
Chen Xinli pricked up her ears and heard these words, and felt that her third uncle was too shameless.
How can one say this? It's because they dislike their grandparents' age and are afraid that they will be a burden!
This pie in the sky is so disappointing.
They were implicated by the elders of the Shen family. Can they come back because of the younger generations of the Wu family?
Don't say that the little cousin is a genius in studying.
Even if it is, it will take a long time for my cousin to become an official.
But when he looked at his parents, he seemed somewhat moved.
Chen Xinli noticed something from Wu Yuehua's struggling expression.
After all, they were A Niang's biological parents.
After thinking for a while, Chen Xinli stepped forward quickly: "Third uncle, it's not that we can't take our grandparents with us, it's our current status. We are sinners now."
Besides, we don’t have much to eat at home, and the little food we have on the road is not enough for our family!”
Wu Laosan's expression turned grim.
He said so, my younger sister and her family are so ignorant.
Wu Laosan glared at the little girl and said, "Little girl, don't interrupt when adults are talking."
However, Chen Xinli looked directly into the other person's eyes and said:
"How about this, Third Uncle? Grandpa and grandmother are old after all, and it's uncertain whether they will come back in the future. Why don't you give us five taels of silver as a gift for your future filial piety, and we will take our grandparents away."
Just as Wu Laosan was about to refuse, he heard the little girl say again.
"If that's the case, then forget it. Father, Mother, we are prisoners after all. It's better not to make our grandparents suffer. Let's go!"
As they spoke, they walked towards their own carts.
"you……"
Wu Laosan looked at the little girl's back carefully and winked at Wu Laoer. Wu Laoda on the side was very anxious.
Could it be that the second and third sons want to use that money?
A few days ago, Boss Wu went up the mountain to look for some scarce mountain products and earned just over three taels of silver.
Boss Wu didn't want to spend the money, but he also didn't want his parents to go with his sister.
"Two taels!"
Thinking of his younger sister's ten acres of wheat fields, and the fact that he should be able to make some money by harvesting the wheat, Wu Laosan made a decision with a painful heart.
Chen Xinli was not too little, she turned around and looked at Wu Laosan with a smile, "Deal."
While extending his hand, he did not forget to add: "Third uncle is really filial to the extreme!"
Wu Laosan looked embarrassed.
On the contrary, Boss Wu looked reluctant.
After Chen Xinli collected the change and discussed with her uncle and aunt, she carried Old Master Wu onto the ox cart.
Old Man Wu rubbed his hands vigorously, looking at his son-in-law and daughter with embarrassment, "Yuehua, Fugui, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble, trouble you..."
Chen Xinli could actually understand his feelings.
He must have been forced into no other choice and was thinking of following them!
After looking at her daughter with gratitude, Wu Yuehua went to check on Old Mrs. Wu's injuries.
Chen Xinli also took the opportunity to check it out.
Old Mrs. Wu looked at her daughter and granddaughter with tears in her eyes, feeling mixed emotions.
I just feel like the first half of my life has been wasted.
The team started moving again.
At noon, they walked to the dirt road outside Qinghe Town.
The family hurriedly finished their buns, drank some hot water, and set off again.
Li Xiang was worried all the way.
Starting from Qinghe Town, the only way to go south is to take the official road, but it is a big detour, and it is quite tight to reach Shu within two months.
I was undecided about whether to take a detour.
Looking at the big family in the distance, old and young, since I want to shelter them, I naturally have to protect their safety.
Li Xiang is not a bailiff with great ideals.
Instead, they had no choice but to follow the traditions of their ancestors and work silently for a group of shady people.
Li Xiang was not surprised by the family in front of him along the way.
The only thing he felt towards was that little girl.
Especially the abnormality in his body, which made him feel like he was crawling on the ground all the time.
As the sun sets and they get further and further away from Xiping County, a group of people have already reached the foot of a mountain.
Li Xiang suppressed his inner emotions and said to everyone, "Tonight, we will rest here for a while."
He had decided to take a shortcut.
This place is clearly the Lishan Ridge.
There was originally a stronghold on the mountain, named Lieshanzhai.
Three years ago, Lishan Village was just an ordinary village, but since a group of people occupied Lishan Village, it became the burial place of many traveling merchants.
Li Xiang knew this place, but he was not afraid.
Could it be that a group of bandits wanted to rob officials?
Do they really not want to live anymore?
Chen Xinli looked at the bailiff in front of her and felt a little confused. This place was so close to Lishan Village, and this bailiff was really careless.
But, since they have given the order.
That's all that has to happen.
Chen Xinli took a clay pot to fetch water and wanted to observe the surrounding environment.
I didn't expect there was a stream at the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the stream again, there are actually fish swimming around.
Chen Xinli couldn't catch the fish with her bare hands.
However, a plant by the stream caught her eye.
