Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Chapter 164: Controlling Sheng Hao's Family

Chunlan came here these two days, whispered with Cui for a day, and then went back. She never came back.

"The child's third aunt and Xiaoye both said they would move out. They cleaned up the tofu shop, and there was no movement from their home," said Zhang.

"Mom, it was my fourth uncle who said not to move yet. Before, when the old man and the old lady were not at home, they moved out. But now that the old couple are living at home, it would not look good if they move out." Xiao Lan continued, "If they move out now, I guess they will be scolded by my grandma."

"Oh, I don't know what the old couple are thinking. If they stay in the village and don't leave, I guess the fourth brother's family won't have an easy life." Zhang sighed.

"Mom, I can't stay here for long. Haven't you heard about Chunhua's story in the village these days? It's so detailed, and I don't know how it got to know." Xiao Lan said, "My grandparents love Chunhua the most. They won't stay in Shengjia Village just for her reputation. Otherwise, I don't know how the villagers will exclude Chunhua and the Sheng family."

Xiao Lan estimated that Cui and Mr. Sheng would not be able to hold on for a few more days. If they stayed in the village, Chunhua would probably never be able to raise her head to see people in her life, let alone find a good family to marry. You know, Chunhua is getting older and older. When she had a good reputation, she couldn't find a good in-law, let alone when her reputation was not good.

Xiao Lan was the one who understood Cui's thoughts the best. Although she wanted the old couple to take Chunhua to Hejian County to live with the eldest brother's family as soon as possible, she was unwilling to let them go so easily. She told her family that if Mr. Sheng and Cui didn't ask to go to the eldest brother, they would pretend not to know what the old couple was thinking and would not give them a way out.

"Uncle Four is really something. What's wrong with moving now? They didn't move out before because they had to look after the old house. Now that my grandpa and grandma are back and the house is occupied, they naturally don't need to look after it. Isn't it the right thing for them to move out? Besides, in our Shengjia Village, people as old as my grandpa and grandma are all still doing housework and farm work. They still need their family to take care of them." Xiao Lan was puzzled by Sheng Hao's reason for not moving out.

"Hey, what you said makes sense. These past few days, your grandma has been ordering your fourth aunt and Xiaoye around. Your third aunt can't even go to the tofu workshop to work. She came to complain to me a few days ago." Zhang said, "From what your third aunt said, it seems that the old lady's attitude towards the fourth son is much better than before. She even hugged your fourth uncle and cried a few days ago."

Xiao Lan thought to herself, the old lady is incredible, she even resorted to the self-torture tactic. She saw that Xiao Lan's family was difficult to control, so she chose the honest and decent fourth son to control. It is said that the old lady is really good at controlling human nature.

That morning, after breakfast, Xiaolan took out her pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write a business plan for going to Xingyuan Prefecture in two months. Xiaoting took out a bamboo frame on the kang and embroidered a purse with needle and thread.

At this time Xiao Ye walked in from outside.

"Sister Xiaolan, our eldest aunt is here to talk to our third uncle. She said that our grandparents have come to their senses and they want to go to Hejian County to live with our eldest uncle."

"My father is digging a pond in the back." Xiao Lan put down her pen and asked, "Did our grandfather ask you to come and find my father?"

Xiaoye nodded, with a bit of happiness on her face. These days, Cui had been giving her and her mother a hard time. Thinking that the old couple and Chunhua were about to leave for Hejian County, she smiled.

Xiaoting got off the bed and put on her shoes. "Xiaolan, you go do your work first. I'm not busy right now anyway. I'll call our father back first. He has to come back to wash before going to the old house, otherwise he will be covered in mud."

"Xiao Ye, stay at home with your second sister. I'll be back soon."

"This morning, my grandma asked my dad to light the fire. After he did, she asked my dad to cook for her, but he had to go to work. My mom couldn't go to work because she had to take care of her. Now she's not satisfied and starts to bully my dad again." Xiao Ye complained, "My dad really had no choice but to ask my mom to cook for her..."

"Our grandparents have hands and feet, and they are not very old. Do they really have to be served by others? Isn't Chunhua still here? Doesn't she really have to do anything?" Xiao Lan sighed, "Then has my fourth aunt gone?"

"My mother listened to my father and went. We just had breakfast, and I made it. My father is the most pitiful. He goes to work on an empty stomach and has no time to eat." Xiao Ye said, gritting his teeth. "Sister Xiaolan, my mother is timid and listens to my father. She is afraid of our grandma. In the past few days since our grandparents came back, they have completely controlled our family,"

"Xiao Ye, why don't you just move out? People in our village are reasonable and won't talk about your family." Xiao Lan advised, "If you can't move out, there's nothing wrong with living there. But when you help, you have to distinguish which tasks you can do and which tasks you can't do. You can't help with everything and do everything. You have to know the limit."

Cui was a person who always climbed up the ladder and was good at taking advantage of people's weaknesses. The fourth brother's family was used to being manipulated by her. As long as she could make Sheng Hao soft-hearted, she would take advantage of the situation to manipulate their family and even climb over their heads to bully them.

In fact, Sheng Xuan and Zhang could also be easily manipulated by Cui, but their family no longer lived in the old house. Even if Cui wanted to do something, she was powerless as her hands could not reach that far. However, Xiao Ye's family did live in the old house, which made it very convenient for Cui to play tricks on them.

Xiao Lan felt very sympathetic towards Xiao Ye and Liu. As for what Xiao Ye said just now, her grandmother hugged Sheng Hao and cried. She knew too well the lethality of this action. Cui was Sheng Hao's biological mother. Her experience in the capital city was already very sympathetic. Add to that the lethal weapon of tears, it was too easy to make people soft-hearted.
