Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Pang Xiu'e also lowered her voice and said to Cui, "Grandma, my father is right. If you don't follow my uncle, then the head of the family will have to be changed. Besides, it was you and my grandfather who provided for my uncle. Why should you not have a share when he enjoys his life?"

"Mom, Xiu'e's words are rough but true. If you don't go, my sister-in-law will take control of the family. In my opinion, you have to go, and you have to take us with you. If anyone doesn't listen to you, we can't let him go. To put it bluntly, if you leave us and take Chunhua with you, it's another matter whether you can live in the main house." Sheng Kai said.

Cui recalled the tricks that Wang had played on her before, which made her more and more inclined to follow the eldest brother and take up the office.

"But we just returned to Shengjia Village..." Cui looked at the things in the yard and felt reluctant to leave.

"Mom, these are nothing. Things are dead, but people are alive. Even if we put these things in the old house and lock the door, no one can take them away. But if we miss this opportunity to take office with my eldest brother, then we really can't go."

"Then let's follow them?" Cui said.

"Go, let's follow."

While Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai took turns persuading Cui, Old Man Sheng went to Xiao Lan's house.

"Dad, why are you here? Come in and sit down." Sheng Xuan was puzzled when he saw the old man coming home, but he still warmly invited him in.

Xiao Lan knew what was going on after a little thought. It must be because of her uncle's taking office, otherwise the old man wouldn't be so worried.

The old man sighed and said nothing. Xiao Lan could tell from his expression that the old man was worried about something.

"Grandpa, is my uncle about to leave? Have you discussed it? Should I follow him to take office or stay in the village?" Xiao Lan relied on her young age and the adults generally did not care too much about her childish words, so she asked directly.

The old man sighed, raised his head, looked at Sheng Xuan and said, "Third brother, what do you think about this? Should I follow the eldest brother or stay in the village?"

"Dad, this matter depends on your own feelings. Whether you want to go or stay, I support you. But my eldest brother is a person who makes me feel uneasy if everyone is watching him." Sheng Xuan said.

At that time, Sheng Xuan lived in the town and borrowed high-interest loans in order to let the old Sheng family take the blame. At that time, the old Sheng family took out all their assets just to repay the high-interest loans. But what about the eldest brother? His family actually hid in the house in the town and ate and drank well. If Xiao Lan hadn't forced the door open, the old Sheng family would have really added to this bottomless pit.

Thinking of this, Mr. Sheng couldn't help sighing. How could he not know what kind of person his eldest son was?

"Grandpa, my uncle is going to Hejian County to be an official. He holds the life and death of the people in the county in his hands. This is different from when he is at home. To put it bluntly, at most he can harm our family at home. But it will be different when he goes there and makes friends with some bad guys, then the people of the whole county will suffer." Xiao Lan gave Grandpa Sheng a shot of prevention in advance.

In fact, Sheng Nuo was not a good person, and Xiao Lan could not speak ill of his eldest son directly in front of Mr. Sheng. After all, the old man was Sheng Nuo's biological father, and a biological father would naturally think that his son was good in every way.

But Xiao Lan remembered that Sheng Nuo and the old man wanted to sell her life and arrange a ghost marriage for her. This was not something a good person could do.

Old Master Sheng sighed. In fact, without Sheng Xuan and Xiao Lan reminding him, he had already been thinking about the things that had happened at home over the past year. He was really worried about not following the eldest brother to take up his post.

But he was born into a peasant family, and he was reluctant to leave everything in Shengjia Village. He was old, and he should return to his roots, but he had to follow his boss and wander in a foreign land, and he really didn't want to do that.

Just now when they were in the upper room, the eldest and the second son were arguing with each other, and he could tell that the eldest son was unwilling to take them to the post. Although the old man didn't want to go with him, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't sad to see his eldest son treating him like this. For so many years, the family has been frugal to support him to study and live in the town. Logically, now that he can make a name for himself, it is time to give back to the old Sheng family, but the second son does not know how to be grateful, and only cares about his own happiness, and wants to leave all the people in the old Sheng family behind. This is really disheartening.

"Hey, we have finally got peace here, and we just came back. We haven't had time to plant seeds on the land at home. If we leave right away, the land will remain barren..." Grandpa Sheng was still worried about his family.

When Xiao Lan heard what Grandpa Sheng said, she knew that he was planning to follow the boss to take up the post. Sheng Nuo had Grandpa Sheng watching over him, so at least there was a limit to what he did. Even if he got into trouble, it probably wouldn't be a big deal. After all, the old man was not confused about big things.

"Grandpa, you don't have to worry about this. I heard from my fourth uncle that they don't plan to follow my uncle to take office. They can stay at home to look after the house and land for you. Of course, we can also rent the land to others, and when you are free, you can come back to collect the rent." Xiao Lan said.

"Xiao Lan is right. The fourth brother knows how to manage his life. With him at home looking after you, you won't have to worry about anything." Sheng Xuan said.

There is only one thing that Old Master Sheng remembers in his mind now, that is, the fourth son will not follow the eldest son and his family to take up the office, but will stay in Shengjia Village.

Sheng Hao had never mentioned this matter to him before, but now Xiao Lan and Sheng Xuan were talking about it with details, which meant that Sheng Hao must have told the father and daughter about it, otherwise they wouldn't have said so.

After Mr. Sheng returned to the upper room, the family sat together again.
