The night passed quickly.
The next morning, there was indeed a commotion in the Feng family's old house.
The two brothers, Feng Lao Da and Feng Lao San, fought from inside the yard to outside.
After they were finally pulled apart, Feng Lao Da's wife screamed like crazy again and scratched her husband's face with her claws, leaving it covered in bruises.
The villagers, who had just finished harvesting rice and had some free time, watched the lively scene.
After they dispersed, everyone secretly cursed Feng Youwei for being a good-for-nothing.
Not only did he take the second brother's gold and silver, but he also treated the girl harshly and even hid it from his wife and children. It's impossible for someone to have any ulterior motives when he monopolizes such things.
The incident between Feng Yixiang and Chen Jiao some time ago was so serious that the roof of their house was almost blown off, but they still refused to give up anything, resulting in no news of the two young people until now.
The matter would eventually involve himself, but Feng Yijia didn't want to watch the fun, so he went to bed late at night and slept soundly in the morning.
Meng Sheng was in good spirits. Even after tossing and turning in the night, he didn't hesitate and ran to the Feng family's old house at dawn to wait for the show.
After happily watching the whole scene, he came over to tell Feng Yijia about it when he saw that there was no one around in the afternoon.
“You don’t know, when Boss Feng found out his things were gone, he was so anxious that his eyes turned red.
All the wooden beams on that wall were immediately removed and the ground underneath was dug up.
Following the footprints, I found Feng Laosan's house.
He searched the whole house, even the rat holes.
If they couldn't find it, they would force Feng Laosan to hand it over.
At first, Feng Laosan was probably concerned that he had more nephews than sons, so he was afraid that he could not beat them, so he did not take action.
Later, Boss Feng anxiously told everyone what he had lost and then took action.
The two of them fought each other, punching and kicking each other.
Feng Laosan took advantage of his younger age to gain the upper hand.
There were a lot of people watching in the yard, but no one tried to stop the fight.
It wasn't until they were out of the yard that they were pulled apart by the onlookers."
After finishing his speech, Meng Sheng did not forget to express his own feelings: "I think your two cousins hate their father.
Even though they have money, they are reluctant to find wives for them, which results in them being single in their twenties.
After he finished speaking, he took the cup of water on the table and gulped down two gulps to moisten his throat before continuing.
"After the two brothers finished fighting, Feng Laoda's wife asked Feng Laoda if he wanted to leave the gold and silver to a woman outside, so he kept it a secret from his family.
I don’t know what Boss Feng responded to, but the couple started fighting again after a disagreement.
Boss Feng was really badly beaten this time. I guess he'll have to stay in bed for a few days before he can get out of bed."
Hearing this, Feng Yijia's eyes narrowed into slits with joy, and she didn't even notice that Meng Sheng took her water cup to drink.
He gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to your good work last night!"
After saying that, he turned back to the house, took out a pair of rabbit leather shoes, and handed them to Meng Sheng: "Here, this is for you.
The skins were collected from the rabbits you gave me, so I just put in some effort.
You have helped me a lot during this period, and you have everything you need now. I thought about it for a long time and made a pair of rabbit leather boots as a thank you gift.
It’s not as nice as the ones sold in other stores. If you like it, you can wear it. If you don’t like it, you can throw it away or give it away.
Anyway, I expressed my gratitude.”
Meng Sheng took the shoes and looked at the fine stitches on them. His heart softened and a rare hint of silliness appeared in his shrewd and deep eyes.
He smiled innocently and said, "It looks better than the ones I bought in the store. I'll wear it when it gets colder!"
Feng Youcai hid in the shadows of the corner, unable to bear the sight of Meng Sheng's foolishness, and said, "Sheng boy, come over here and tell me in detail, how is my good brother injured?"
The pink bubble in his heart was burst, and Meng Sheng felt that the most annoying thing in the world was his future father-in-law who was a light bulb.
Not only can you not take any action against them, you also have to concentrate on trying to please them.
Feng Yijia didn't notice anything unusual between them, nor did she want to hear about her uncle's miserable condition again, so she continued to organize her medicinal herbs.
I haven't been to the county town for a while, although I missed a few days of going up the mountain because I was practicing calligraphy and reading.
I have a lot of medicinal herbs stored at home.
I have to find time to go to the county town to sell them these two days, otherwise they will be piled up at home and I will have to carefully clean them up.
While I was busy, two people came from outside the yard.
Feng Chunhua and her father Feng Liang pushed a fully loaded wheelbarrow over.
He called out across the growing thorn bushes, "Girl Feng, are you home?"
Feng Yijia heard the voice and looked over. Seeing the people, he greeted them warmly: "I'm here, Sister Chunhua and Uncle Liang, come in and have a seat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered that Meng Sheng was chatting with his father in the room, so he hurried into the room and whispered to Meng Sheng, "Go hide behind the cabinet and don't come out for the time being, so that you don't have to explain it to others later and cause misunderstandings!"
Meng Sheng glanced at Feng Youcai who was looking at him with a teasing expression, and hid himself obediently.
After Feng Yijia left, he muttered quietly, "One day, I will stay in this courtyard openly.
No one needs to explain!"
Feng Youcai chuckled twice and said, "You're dreaming in broad daylight."
Meng Sheng shut up and didn't argue with him. He just sighed in his heart that his road to love was long and difficult!
Feng Chunhua and her daughter came to deliver food.
Feng Liang was unloading the bags from the wheelbarrow, and Feng Chunhua pulled Feng Yijia and said, "I thought you didn't raise any livestock, so having too much corn wouldn't be of much use.
I decided to exchange some of the wheat and grind it into flour or process it into noodles, which is convenient to eat.
The rice is all newly harvested rice. You don't have a large scale here, so we weighed it according to the quantity we agreed upon and sent it to you.
If you're worried, you can borrow the scale next door."
"Look at what Sister Chunhua said. If I hadn't been worried, I wouldn't have entrusted the farmland to Uncle Liang."
Feng Yijia replied, and then politely said: "Why are you so anxious? The public grain hasn't been paid yet, and you're sending it to me first!"
After Feng Liang unloaded the grain, he smiled and said, "It's going to be delivered anyway, so the sooner you send it over, the sooner it's delivered!"
After answering, he took the initiative to ask: "Feng girl, which room do you store these grains in?
I'll move there directly, so you don't have to go through all the trouble."
Feng Yijia was so frightened that he quickly waved his hands to refuse: "No, just put it here.
It just so happens that we are out of rice and flour at home, I will grind some later!"
The excuse was not very good, but the attitude of refusal was clear, and Feng Liang was no longer enthusiastic about helping to move the food.
While Feng Yijia was relieved, he inexplicably felt as if he was caught cheating and the door was blocked.
He shook his head to get rid of the strange thoughts in his mind, cheered himself up and talked to the Feng father and daughter with a smile for a long time.
After finally sending the people away and preparing to let Meng Sheng go back to his own home, he unexpectedly saw another unwelcome person outside the yard.
It’s rare for my third aunt Zhuang Fang to come to visit.
He pushed open the half-closed gate, entered the courtyard, and said to Feng Yijia, who was sitting under the eaves, "Yijia, you've heard about what happened this morning, right?
The boss hid a large bag of gold and silver from your family.
We originally agreed to exchange your house for your care, but that didn't include the gold and silver.
Actually, those things should be yours now.
Even if it is lost, you have to ask the old family to compensate you!"
