Chapter 337: Xu Wencheng
Mother Cheng pouted in Nian'er's direction, rolled her eyes at her, then turned around and led the Cheng family away.
When the villagers of Lushan Village saw that the excitement had died down, they all went home.
Mrs. Hu felt sorry for Nian'er and cried while hugging her.
"My child, you have suffered. Grandma only heard from your aunt that you have been following your cousin's wife in and out recently, but she didn't know that such a thing happened in your family."
Cheng Nian'er also burst into tears.
"In the future, I will often follow my cousin's wife, and I can also spend more time to be filial to my grandmother."
Mrs. Hu took a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped her tears.
"Good boy, your parents are assholes. They don't want you, but your grandparents still recognize you, and your uncle and aunt also recognize you. From now on, just follow your cousin's wife and don't listen to your mother's instigation."
She is old and it is not convenient for her to keep the child with her.
If he closes his eyes one day, this child will be alone and helpless, which is really pitiful.
It would be better to follow the second brother’s family.
The second son's wife and grandson's wife are both kind people, and I think they will not treat her unfairly in the future.
Cheng Nian'er nodded, "I can save it."
Jiang looked at the big guy.
"Since Mom and Dad and Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law are here, why don't you stay at home for dinner? Tang'er and Nian'er are going to the county town tomorrow, and our family hasn't eaten together for a long time."
Hu sighed.
"You know what? It's much quieter now that the kids are not at home."
"I know that mother likes lively places." Jiang smiled and walked towards the kitchen. "If mother is in good health, she can go to the county town with father when she has time. When our whole family lived there before, we could spare a room."
When Mrs. Hu heard this, she actually had some ideas in mind.
"I would like to go and see them, but I'm always sick and I'm afraid I'll annoy the children." After thinking for a while, "Forget it, I'll wait until I feel better."
"What are you talking about, mother?" Zhang raised her eyebrows and said, "It was you who proposed to separate the family and live with father. We never meant to despise you for your poor health. What about you, second sister-in-law?"
As she spoke, she looked towards Jiang in the kitchen.
Jiang smiled and said, "What the eldest sister-in-law said is true. Dad and mom are the oldest elders in the family. People say that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure. We dare not despise them. The children are also filial. Don't think too much, mom."
Song Yuntang also spoke at the right time.
"If grandma wants to go to the county town, why don't you come with us tomorrow?"
Hu thought about it.
"No, wait until your parents are free, then we can come together. You are busy in the shop, so you don't have to take care of the business and take care of me, an old woman, too."
Song Yuntang nodded.
"Then it depends on grandma's arrangements. It's also possible to go with mom and dad."
If grandparents were asked to live alone with their grandchildren, I'm afraid both sides would not be used to it.
Hu'er was standing by, licking his fingers which still tasted sweet after eating candy. He looked at this and that, and suddenly ran to Song Yuntang and asked in a crisp voice.
"Aunt, can Hu'er also come to the county town to play with you?"
Ever since Xu Chengji and his wife were captured by Song Yuntang and forced to work on the farm, she would bring some delicious food to Hu'er every time she came back.
After a few interactions, I became familiar with him.
The little guy has a likable personality and is not the kind of person who makes trouble or does not know his limits. Song Yuntang is happy to see him.
Zhang smiled and touched Hu'er's round head.
"You naughty boy, your aunt is going to take your grandpa to live in the county town, why are you joining in the fun here?"
Jiang in the kitchen said, "Let's take our parents to the county town to stay for a few days. If our elder brother and sister-in-law are at ease, it's okay for us to bring Hu'er with us. With the little guy around, our parents can have some entertainment."
Zhang stood up and walked towards her.
"What else do we have to worry about? We're just afraid of causing trouble to you. You're such a naughty kid."
As he said that, he began to help her cook.
Jiang smiled.
"What's wrong with the kid being a little naughty? If you let him sit there quietly and daydream, you'll probably get worried again. But when it comes to naughtiness, none of these kids in the family can compare to Wencheng."
Among Xu Qingye's generation, Xu Wencheng is the youngest.
When he was young, he was spoiled by his grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters. He was fearless. Once, he climbed a tree to take bird eggs and fell from the tree, making a hole in someone's thatched roof. The whole family followed him to apologize and helped repair the roof.
It's not right to hit, and it's not right not to hit.
When I heard him fall from the tree, I was afraid that he might get hurt.
Another time, when Erniu, Changgen and I were grilling fish on a fire behind someone's house, we almost set the house on fire. If someone in the village hadn't seen it and brought water to put out the fire in time, we would have suffered a huge loss.
Then he went fishing and fell headfirst into the water. Fortunately, the water was not too deep. Xu Yongwang and his son Xu Qingye were there and each of them held one of his feet and pulled him out.
In previous years, when the weather was not dry and rice was planted in the fields, there were many snakes in the rice fields. He often saw them and grabbed the snakes' tails to scare the little girls in the village.
Although it is not poisonous, girls are timid by nature. Every time they see him coming, they are so scared that they hide in the house and dare not go out.
In those years, the number of people who came to file complaints almost flattened the threshold.
Strangely enough, ever since Xu Qingye fell ill, he suddenly became sensible and no longer caused trouble for the family.
Although there are still some inconsistencies, it is much less troublesome than before.
Listening to his family members discussing their childhood "dark history" one after another, Xu Wencheng scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Why are you digging up all these old scores of mine for no reason?"
Zhang smiled and said, "How can it be an old account? It happened just a few years ago, it's still fresh."
Looking at the lively and bustling home, Mrs. Hu couldn't stop smiling.
Master Xu Yuande sighed.
"I have been the head of Lushan Village for 30 years. I used to be afraid that others would not come to me when they had problems. But in those years, it was the opposite. I was most afraid that others would come to me. I would have a headache when I saw him. I didn't expect that after Qingye fell ill, he actually became obedient."
Xu Yongfu sighed, "After all, they are brothers. My elder brother is seriously ill. If he continues to act like this, how will Yongwang and his younger brother and sister-in-law live?"
Song Yuntang listened without saying anything.
Nian'er looked at Xu Wencheng in surprise. She didn't expect that her cousin could be so naughty.
…
The next day, after saying goodbye to his family, Song Yuntang led Cheng Nian'er, Xu Wencheng, Xu Changgen and Dahuang to the county town.
They were not driving a mule cart today.
But a carriage.
The horse was bought by Song Yuntang from the pawnshop in town two days ago. Although it was far inferior to the horse that Lord Zhu had lent to Xu Qingye before, it was slightly faster than an ordinary pony.
The carriage was prepared by Song Mazi long ago.
After calculating the time, it would take fifteen minutes to go to the county town by horse carriage rather than mule carriage.
