Chapter 213: Hiding the Fame
"Sister can't leave. Sister has to stay with me."
Liang Huanxue pulled her hand away, but it didn't twitch.
Wei Rou came forward and hit Xu Zhiyi's hand. He felt pain and immediately let go and retracted his hand. He stared at his old mother with dissatisfaction, baring his teeth, looking very ferocious.
Wei Rou twitched her lips and said coldly, "Sister wants to go back to sleep. You hold her back. What if she gets sleepy?"
Xu Zhiyi's little face wrinkled into a ball, and he seemed to be really thinking about this question.
The Liang family didn't wait for him to think it over and ran away with their daughter.
As soon as I got home, I couldn't wait to share the good news of the name change with Liang Guier.
"Gui'er, no, Ji Hai, you better remember your new name. It was given to you by the city lord himself. No one else has this privilege."
Liang Guier knew the City Lord. Many of his classmates admired the City Lord. When they scolded him, they would mention the City Lord, saying that the City Lord would never give his children names like pig or dog.
Liang Guier had a hunch that if he made public the fact that his new name was chosen by the city lord, he would definitely become the center of everyone's praise.
Just thinking about it made Liang Gui'er's blood boil.
"Uncle, is this really given to me by the city lord alone? Not to anyone else?"
Everyone says that the city lord is very powerful, so why would he be given a name?
Liang Gui'er was excited but also a little bit unbelieving, and asked "Really?" twice in a row.
After receiving Liang Yuanwang's affirmative answer, he was still a little at a loss and his hands began to tremble.
"Really, really, my name was really given by the city lord!"
Liang Gui'er sang and danced, but the key point was that her singing was not pleasant to the ears and her dancing was not pretty either, almost like a shaman performance.
Liang Huanxue was very suspicious of Liang Guier's mental state.
"Will this child go crazy with joy?"
Liang Guier stopped moving instantly, wandered in front of Liang Huanxue, and looked so proud that he seemed to have a little tail flying behind him.
"Liang Jihai, my name is Liang Jihai, a name given by the city lord himself. You don't have a name, do you?"
After showing off, he pretended to be a brother who loves his sister: "But don't worry, little sister. Although your name is not nice, I will not abandon you. When I can read and write, I will give you a better name."
"I can only run back crying when people laugh at my name, and you still want to give me a name? Forget it.】
Liang Huanxue's whole body was filled with resistance.
Liang Gui'er was resentful. He was not bad, so why did they reject him? Just wait, when he comes back after completing his studies, he will definitely give me a surprise.
It didn't matter if he got frustrated with Liang Huanxue. The most important thing was to save his face in front of those little brats who made fun of him.
Liang Gui'er was eager to save face, and if Liang Weijiang hadn't held him back with brute force, he would have run to the academy that day.
After much persuasion, Liang Guier was persuaded to go back to the room to make a fuss, and then the people from the village came again.
An old man in his sixties came with a dozen people.
Liang Yuanwang welcomed the guests in and prepared two tables of sumptuous dinner.
Several people were talking at the dinner table.
"Liang Yuanwang, we all know about your relationship with your cousin. He was indeed wrong in this matter."
The old man in the lead tapped his cane and said, "We all escaped together. How could he treat you like this just for money?"
The others echoed: "Yes, this is really unfair, but we know you and we will definitely stand on your side."
Liang Yuanwang was so moved that he kept persuading them to have dinner.
Since it was a meal, Liang Huanxue, nestling in Shen Yuefu's arms, had to listen to these things.
However, the purpose of these people coming here was obviously not to comfort Liang Yuanwang.
On the way to escape famine, these people strongly supported Liang Yuanwang's leadership. Liang Huanxue treated the Liang family well. Liang Huanxue had no opinion on them and had a much better attitude. She would even smile at any of them when they looked over.
The leader was the elder brother of the former village chief. He separated from the village chief after he got married. Over the years, his wife and children had either died or been lost, and in the end, he was left alone.
But he was a good person, always doing good things for others. He had a very good reputation in the village and was respected by everyone.
"Master Han, you've been good to me, and I'll always remember it in my heart. If you have any problems in the future, come to me and I'll make sure you do it beautifully."
After drinking two glasses of wine, Liang Yuanwang started to go crazy and spoke without restraint.
Liang Huanxue didn't like the sight of her father drinking, and snuggled into her mother's arms in disgust.
Shen Yuefu patted Liang Huanxue's back gently, but did not leave.
Mr. Han exchanged pleasantries for a while before explaining his purpose.
"Liang Yuanwang, your cousin is not a good person, but we are all neighbors. We escaped together. You can't lose your feelings for everyone because of him."
"Yes, Liang Yuanwang, when the village chief was still in office, you were the one he valued the most. He always said that he would nominate you as the next village chief. Now that the village chief is gone, you are the village chief we all recognize. We don't recognize your uncle."
As soon as Master Han finished speaking, another master expressed his opinion.
"The strong young men in the village are waiting for you to lead them in building a new village."
Liang Yuanwang was drunk at the time, and as his neighbors usually had a good relationship, he heard everything that was said about needing him while he was in a daze.
Liang Yuan was enthusiastic after just one look and agreed faster than washing his feet or taking off his socks.
"Of course, I will definitely not leave you homeless. Tomorrow, tomorrow, I will definitely go there tomorrow. Please let everyone wait for me."
Shen Yuefu held her forehead with her hand, thinking that her husband still couldn't change his brainless behavior after drinking.
She shook her head, stood up, holding Liang Huanxue, and talked as she walked.
"My dear daughter, your father doesn't usually drink, but it's not that he doesn't like it. There are two reasons for this. One is that he can't drink much, and the other is that he has bad drinking habits. As soon as possible, I will take you to another room to sleep, not next to your father."
Liang Huanxue turned around with great effort, but she didn't notice that her father had a bad drinking habit. Apart from being a little drunk and talking a little loudly, that seemed to be all.
Liang Huanxue's thoughts were written all over her face. Shen Yuefu understood it at a glance, but she did not rush to explain. Instead, she smiled faintly, hiding her achievements and fame.
About half an hour later, after having eaten and drunk their fill, the few old men who had come to do business left one after another, leaving Liang Yuanwang alone at home, and he began his night.
"Oh my God, you have no eyes!"
The voice of Shen Yuefu talking about Liang Yuanwang was heard in the yard. Liang Yuanwang finally stopped yelling and screaming in the yard, and went to the room to harass Liang Huanxue instead.
"My dear daughter, I'm sorry for you. I couldn't give you a good life and made you suffer so much. It's all because of me."
Liang Yuanwang cried until he was out of breath, and while crying, he touched Liang Huanxue's face.
Liang Huanxue cried out twice.
"Mother, help me.】
Shen Yuefu was helpless: "I just persuaded your father to come here. If I persuade him again, he will probably go crazy. My dear girl, just bear with it. If your father does anything bad to you, mother will beat him up."
As she spoke, Shen Yuefu found a convenient stool in the room and waved it, staring at Liang Yuanwang with burning eyes, as if she was ready to take action at any moment.
