Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity
Chapter 138 Household Arrangements
After all, she was his wife, and Mr. Sheng felt sorry for her. Looking at his wife's messy hair and sprained ankle, he quickly signaled Chunhua, "Hurry up and help your mother into the house."
If we talk about who knows Cui the best in the old Sheng family, it must be Grandpa Sheng. Grandpa knew that with Cui's stubborn character, she had never suffered a loss like today. If she didn't vent her anger, she would probably get sick. Therefore, when he saw Cui venting her anger to the air, he didn't dare to stop her. After all, the two brothers Sheng Xuan and Sheng Hao had separated from the family, so they would not be her punching bags.
At this time, an unexpected guest came to Xiaolan's house. Xu lived in the old house and had never had a quarrel with Xiaolan's family.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here? Come in and sit down." Xiao Lan greeted her quickly after seeing the person coming.
"Aunt San, look at what happened today... I..."
"Aunt San knows that you are a junior and it is difficult for you to talk to someone stuck in the middle," Zhang said quickly.
When Xu heard Zhang say this, she immediately felt relieved.
"Sister-in-law, look at what happened today. Who of us will benefit? It's all going to be a joke for outsiders to see. We are just ordinary people, so we don't care. But uncle is going to be an official, how can he not care? What's more, brother Shenghong is going to continue to take the exam, so he doesn't care about his reputation?" As an elder, Zhang was embarrassed to talk to Xu about some things, but as Xiaolan was her peer, she had to make it clear.
Xu's coming here at this time might not be without the intention of finding out the news about Xiaolan's family. After all, she is the daughter-in-law of the eldest wife, so she naturally favors the first wife.
"The eldest son of our Sheng family is my uncle, and the eldest grandson is my brother Sheng Hong. No matter who mentions the Sheng family, the first thing that comes to mind is the eldest son and grandson. The Sheng family has a bad reputation, so can these two just stay out of it?" Xiao Lan continued. "My grandma made such a fuss today, and it made my family so uncomfortable. If this matter is reported to Hejian County, the document to dismiss my uncle from office will be issued soon."
"Don't disbelieve me and think I'm lying to you. As long as the people in our village write to each other and tell the stories and jokes about our Sheng family to their relatives, the news will spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Even if we are far away, the news will spread."
These words really made Mrs. Xu a little flustered. She quickly explained, "We really didn't know that your grandma wanted money. Not only did I not know, but your uncle, aunt, and Sheng Hong didn't know either. If we knew a little, we wouldn't let her make such a fuss."
Xiao Lan didn't expect Xu to admit anything, but she still had to give her the warning.
"Sister-in-law, go back and tell my aunt-in-law something. We, all of us with eyesight, can see clearly what she is thinking. As a person, you can't go too far. If she wants to follow my uncle to his new post, she must take the old lady with her. If she deliberately wants to leave the old lady at home, let's not talk about whether my uncle can go, but I can guarantee that she will definitely not be able to go." When it comes to the people from the eldest branch of the Sheng family, they will not listen to mere reason. Only such threatening words are the most effective and the most likely to make them listen.
Xu was shocked when she heard this. From the tendency of the villagers' conversations today, she could tell where everyone was leaning. Xiaolan's family was no longer the same as before. They were no longer the family that could be manipulated.
"Sister-in-law, go back and tell my aunt to calm down and get my grandpa and grandma to go with them happily. If something like this happens again, you and your family can just stay in Shengjia Village and don't have to go anywhere else."
"I will definitely convey your message." Xu finally forced a smile. She was originally sent by Wang to find out about Xiaolan's family situation, but was really beaten up by Xiaolan. She dared not underestimate the power of Xiaolan's family. They were able to survive well in the chaotic world and live a colorful life in the city. If they didn't have other skills, who would believe it if they told others about it.
Moreover, during the past two years of famine, Xiaolan's family has shown kindness to the villagers. Their family has already dominated public opinion and popularity. Now Xiaolan's family's status in Shengjia Village cannot be shaken by the old Sheng family.
Xu didn't stay at Xiaolan's house any longer, but got off the kang and went back. Xiaolan believed that Xu would tell Wang exactly what she said today. Wang was a smart person, so she would consider the pros and cons and know how to make choices.
The old Sheng family was busy for a few days and the luggage was almost packed. It is worth mentioning that the day after Cui's trouble, Mr. Sheng stayed at the entrance of the village for a day. Of course, he was not in a daze, but talked to the old workers in the village about what happened yesterday. Of course, Xiao Lan also understood what he meant, which was to restore the reputation of their old Sheng family and Sheng Nuomiao, but as for whether others believed it or not, he was powerless.
Sheng Hao didn't move in the end, he was stopped by Grandpa Sheng. After discussing with Cui, Grandpa Sheng still felt that the old house needed someone to take care of it, they were worried that if the house was left vacant for a long time, it would really collapse.
He was reluctant to rent out his house to outsiders, because he was afraid that outsiders would ruin their house, and because everyone was short of money and no one could afford the rent, so it was more reliable to find the fourth son to take care of the old house. The fourth son's family had no house to live in, and if he really moved to the third son's house, the villagers would see that their house was empty and his fourth son had no place to live. Wouldn't this be a deliberate attempt to make people gossip?
So the old couple has decided to let the fourth child continue to live in the house they lived in before until the old couple returns home. During this period, Sheng Hao needs to be responsible for taking care of the old Sheng’s house.
In this era, people value returning to their roots. Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Cui cannot always follow Sheng Nuo around. When they get old, they must return to their hometown.
As for the 30 mu of land at home, Mr. Sheng decided to rent it out. Of course, he couldn't rent it to people from other villages, so he rented it to the Wu family in the village. He agreed to pay one-third of the annual harvest as rent, and when the harvest was good every year, he would arrange for his family to come back to collect the food.
Of course, he also informed the Lanhua family that they would be going to Hejian County with their eldest brother, but because his daughter Xiaoyin was ill, he did not return to Shengjia Village.
As for the house in the town, Mr. Sheng was reluctant to rent it out, and selling it was even more impossible. He asked his eldest daughter and her family to look after the house in the town.
