Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity
Chapter 162 Gathering in the Upper Room
"Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Sheng were thrown back by the boss, right?"
"The eldest brother is really vicious. Now that he has become a high-ranking official, he despises his parents for being useless."
"The old lady is so dishonest. She was clearly thrown back to Shengjia Village by the eldest wife, but now she keeps scolding her two sons and daughters-in-law who stayed in her hometown, but she doesn't say a word about the eldest and second sons."
Cui had moved from the kang to the doorstep just to attract the neighbors and let them see how unfilial the third and fourth sons were.
When Xiao Lan and his group arrived, they saw Cui sitting on the ground, cursing loudly.
"Grandma, you should just stay in Shengjia Village quietly from now on. Anyway, you have my aunt with you, so you don't have to worry too much." Xiao Lan glanced at Cui, stood in front of Zhang, and said to Cui, "As for my aunt's reputation, you don't have to care about it. Anyway, she will always be with you."
When Zhang saw Cui sitting on the ground and cursing, she wanted to go forward and help the old lady up, but Xiao Lan stood in front of her, so she had to give up.
If it was an old lady from another family sitting on the ground, Xiao Lan would definitely rush to help her first, but Cui was not an ordinary person. If these people were soft-hearted and treated Cui well, she would not be grateful, but would instead become even more aggressive towards you.
Cui understood Xiaolan's implication. She was using Chunhua's marriage to the leader of the Black Tiger Village to threaten her. Chunhua was her lifeblood. If Chunhua's reputation was ruined, she would have to live with the old couple for the rest of her life. Cui's eyes slid meaningfully across Zhang, Xiaoting, and Xiaolan's faces, and finally sat on Xiaolan's face. She gave her a fierce look, then shut her mouth and stood up from the ground.
Seeing Cui Shi being so understanding, Xiao Lan said with a smile, "Hey, my grandma has stood up, that means there is something to discuss, let's go in quickly."
Everyone rushed into the upper room together.
Although Xiao Lan had just returned from the upper room, she was still not used to it this time. After all, her own room was warm and clean, and when they entered this empty room, they just felt cold.
Although Sheng Hao would come to the room to heat the kang every day, since no one lived there, there was no heat left.
The return of Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Cui caught everyone off guard. Now Sheng Hao and Mrs. Liu help in the tofu workshop every day. During the time when the old couple came back, Sheng Hao had no time to come and heat the kang. After all, the tofu workshop had its own staff, and if Sheng Hao went back, the work would be interrupted.
When Xiao Lan entered the house just now, she deliberately stopped in the main room and looked towards the stove. Sure enough, the stove was empty. During the period when Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Cui came back, no one came to heat the kang for the old couple.
After Cui came back, Chunhua helped her sit on the kang, while Xiaolan and the others found stools to sit on the ground.
The room was very quiet for a while. Sheng Xuan, who was discussing something with Grandpa Sheng, also shut up. No one spoke at this time, so the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Xiao Lan and her group were silent because they had just heard Cui slandering their reputation in front of the neighbors and cursing their family. She really couldn't stand being slapped in the face by someone, so she would just hold her cheek and move forward to let them slap her to their heart's content. She didn't think she was a saint, so she couldn't do that. She hated evil as much as she hated her enemies, and usually she would take revenge on the spot.
The reason why Cui sat on the ground at the door, called the neighbors, and scolded the third and fourth sons without caring about her face was because she was unsure and she was afraid. She knew in her heart that she and the old man were abandoned by the first and second sons, and it was not just an abandonment, but the kind of abandonment without regard for life and death. The third and fourth sons' families had already separated and moved out of the house. She really had no other choice but to use unreasonable means to keep her two sons.
"Where's the fourth brother? Why doesn't he come over? We've been back for such a long time, why haven't we seen him?" Cui glanced at everyone, then stared at Xiaoye and said, "Xiaoye, where is your father? Call your father over."
Since Cui had spoken, Xiao Ye had to call his father over even if he was unwilling. So Cui was a master at manipulating people. Xiao Lan's family is no longer the same as it was before. She and the old man were able to escape from prison because of the operation of the third brother's family. Now the third brother's family is so big and powerful that she probably can't control it. In this case, she set her sights on the fourth brother. The fourth brother had just separated from the family not long ago and had not yet risen, so it was a good time to control him.
Soon, Xiao Ye came over with Sheng Nuo, Liu and Xiao Tao.
"Old Four, come sit next to mother. We haven't seen each other for such a long time. Let's kiss each other." When Cui saw Sheng Hao coming, she waved her hand and called him over.
"Mom, what's going on? Didn't you go to Hejian County with big brother to enjoy life? Why are you back now? Where is my big brother?" Sheng Hao stood on the ground and asked a series of questions.
Cui looked around and saw that they were all family members, so she spoke without restraint. "We encountered bandits on the road, and your eldest brother abandoned us and fled alone in order to save his life."
"What a bastard who lacks great virtue," Cui began to curse again. "He is not a human being. How can you be such a good son? Your sister has been ruined by him in her life."
Cui sat on the kang and cursed for a long time, and finally stopped. She seemed to be a little tired. After all, she had been in prison for such a long time and was still worried. In addition, she had just been released from prison and rested for a day before rushing back to Shengjia Village from the capital. After all, she was old and her spirit could not support it.
Cui wanted to wriggle on the kang, but it was freezing cold. "This kang is like ice. You want to freeze us old couple to death." Cui still didn't speak properly, and every word she said was choking.
Xiao Lan analyzed that Cui was instructing the third and fourth wives to get used to talking badly, after all, she never talked like that to the first and second wives. The first and second wives were not as soft-hearted as the third and fourth wives, and they would not listen to her. The first and second wives always said one thing in front of her and another behind her back, so the old lady was also very polite when she talked to them.
