Chapter 328 I, Xu Laosan, am just a younger brother!
"Yuan Xu, you said that the relationship between us brothers-in-law is too distant!"
"Before, I always thought that I was a businessman with a lot of money, and I was afraid that you would dislike me."
"Now I know that you are an honest man, brother-in-law!"
"I, your brother-in-law, have judged others by my own standards. I'm so sorry, so sorry!"
Chen Yaozu pulled Xu Laosan over and started to get close to him, acting like brothers with a deep friendship.
Xu Laosan just laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, just say whatever you want to say. As you said, I, Xu Yuanxu, am an honest man."
"So, let's just be direct and not use all that flowery language. What does my brother-in-law think?"
You said I am an honest person, so let's talk in an honest way.
Chen Yaozu was stunned for a moment. He said that Xu Laosan was honest, but it was just a casual compliment. His purpose was naturally to improve their relationship and explain why they had not been in touch much in the past.
But what made him devastated was that Xu Laosan actually believed that he was an honest man and even spoke in an honest way. So, was it better for him to be honest or to be polite?
"Brother-in-law, if that's what you mean, then I won't beat around the bush!"
Chen Yaozu smiled and said, "I came here to ask if your little sister is engaged?"
"My maternal cousin has a little cousin who is three years old this year and is quite talented..."
"Brother-in-law, my little sister isn't even one year old yet, don't even mention this child marriage!"
"Besides, my parents are the ones who decide my younger sister's marriage. When will it be my turn as the older brother to make the decision?"
"Brother-in-law, don't mention such words again!"
Xu Laosan was indeed a sincere man. He went straight to Chen Yaozu without waiting for him to finish speaking.
Chen Yaozu didn't expect Xu Laosan to be so disrespectful. He should at least wait for him to finish speaking.
"Brother-in-law, that's not what you say!"
Chen Yaozu smiled and said, "Now you are the Jieyuan Gong, which means you are a star from heaven who has come down to earth. I believe that Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu will also value your words very much."
"After all, you have great potential. You can't compare to your eldest and second brothers!"
"If you ask me, you should be the head of this family!"
"Brother-in-law, I'm not bragging, but my little cousin will definitely be a great man in the future!"
"In the future, it would be a wonderful story for you and your brother-in-law and uncle to serve in the same court. What do you think?"
"hehe……"
Hearing Chen Yaozu say this, Xu Laosan couldn't help but laugh.
He stood up, pointed in the direction of the door, and said, "Brother-in-law, I, Xu Laosan, am honest, not stupid. Are you treating me like a fool by saying this?"
"Okay, stop explaining and go back!"
"From now on, we'll just be the same as before. We don't need to interact too much."
If it weren't for the relationship of marriage and the fact that he was a person of status, Xu Laosan would definitely punch his brother-in-law in the face.
Who is this?
You're just trying to get close to him, but you're actually trying to sow discord between them? Even worse, you're even encouraging him to challenge his parents' position here!
In this family, he, Xu Laosan, has a fixed ranking!
My parents are the eldest and their status is unshakable.
The eldest brother is the eldest brother, and the second brother is still the second brother. Although the second brother is sometimes a little silly, he really doesn't want to be beaten.
As for the younger sister, she is the lucky star of their family and brings light to the whole family.
And he is just a younger brother!
So what if you understand the Yuan?
Even if he became the top scholar, he was still a younger brother, and no one could change his status in the family.
After all, when you have something to do, you ask your eldest brother for advice; when you need a fight, you ask your second brother for help; when you need good luck, you go to your younger sister to improve her favor. How wonderful is this life?
He is not a fool. He would not waste his good life and stir up trouble at home.
"Brother-in-law, you—"
"Even if I said something wrong, brother-in-law, you don't have to be like this, right?"
"I apologize to you, is that okay?"
When Chen Yaozu heard what Xu Laosan said, he was completely confused.
But in his heart, he was thinking, this guy must be a fool!
If I don't take advantage of the great opportunity of passing the imperial examination to take control of the family, do I have to wait until I pass the imperial examination to become the top scholar?
Don’t you even consider whether you have that kind of luck!
Of course, even though he thought so in his heart, he dared not show it on his face. After all, although Jieyuan was also a Juren, the status was definitely different.
"No need to apologize, we have different ideals and cannot work together!"
"For the sake of our relationship, I won't bother with you about what happened today. Just take care of yourself!"
"Leave now before I get angry!"
Even though Chen Yaozu didn't reveal his true thoughts, it was clear to Old Third Xu that he was being hypocritical. He was better off staying where he was.
By the way, I have to remind my wife later to stay away from this eldest sister’s family. They are not good people.
Seeing that Xu Laosan was speaking the truth, Chen Yaozu didn't dare to say anything more. He could only say goodbye and leave with a look of regret and disappointment.
Xu Laosan naturally didn't even bother to perform the etiquette of seeing his guest off.
Anyway, he didn't want to have any contact with this family anymore. They had bad intentions.
If Chen Yaozu simply asked him about whether his younger sister was engaged or not, Xu Laosan would not be so angry. After all, this family has a daughter who is sought after by hundreds of families, which is a good thing.
But Chen Yaozu tried to let him seize power, which was a bit too much.
If Xu Laosan were to interfere without knowing the limits, wouldn't their family be in chaos?
As for Chen Yaozu's later words that belittled his elder and second brothers, Xu Laosan could not tolerate them even more.
They are brothers, real brothers.
Every inch has its own strength.
Xu Laosan was a bit of a talent for studying, but how were his two brothers any less capable? In terms of strategy and interpersonal skills, Xu Laosan felt inferior to his eldest brother; in terms of fighting strength, even if he and his eldest brother were tied together, they wouldn't be enough to beat his second brother.
But even so, when his eldest brother wanted to beat his second brother, his second brother would still take the beating obediently.
What is this called?
This is called brotherly love and respect. When other families see this, they will only envy them.
And this Chen Yaozu, relying on being the eldest son, has taken over the old Chen family's property, and several of his brothers have to look after him for their lives. Such a family is still prosperous at the moment, but Xu Laosan is cursing him. Just wait and see what happens to him in a few years.
A harmonious family brings prosperity!
Our ancestors have passed down these wise sayings for many years, but some people just don't take them seriously.
"Third brother, third brother, hurry up, what are you doing in the house?"
Xu Lao San was just thinking when he heard Xu Lao Er shouting from outside, "Today, there is something delicious to eat!"
Hearing his second brother's shout, Xu Laosan quickly went out and stared blankly at his second brother standing in the yard.
At this moment, Xu Laoer was holding a big wild boar's ear with one hand, and the big wild boar was still grunting.
“Alive?!”
His second brother actually brought back a living wild boar!
