Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

After Xiaoting called Sheng Xuan back and gave him a simple wash, Sheng Xuan took Xiaolan and Xiaoye to the old house.

"Old Third, you're here," Chunlan called out, "Come and sit on the kang."

When Xiaolan came in, she saw a kang table on the kang, and Chunlan and the old couple were sitting opposite each other.

Of course, Chunlan also saw Xiaolan, "Xiaolan is here too. Look at our little girl, she is getting more and more beautiful."

"Aunt, I'm just a little girl from a farming family. I'm not as good as you say." Xiao Lan didn't change her impression of Chunlan because of her compliments.

Chunlan is a person who is very good at observing people's words and expressions and changing her attitude according to the situation.

"Third brother, our parents have approved it, but they still want to go to Hejian County to find the eldest brother. According to the rules of our farming families, the old couple live with the eldest son. Besides, there is nothing in the old house now, and it is not convenient for them and Chunhua to live here." Chunlan directly stated the demands of Grandpa Sheng and Cui.

"Aunt, my eldest and second uncles abandoned my grandparents and caused them to go to jail. When they left, they packed up all the household items. Today you came here and said that the old couple had nothing at home, and you followed my father to complain and pick on us. Then let me ask you, if there is a shortage of things at home, have you asked my grandparents if they have been short of food and drink these days? Since you know that the old couple are short of things, why can't you buy them some? It is said that daughters are the sweetest little cotton-padded jackets of their parents. You have been with the old couple for the longest time, and you know best what they need in life. Your family runs a grocery store, so naturally you have more things than the people in the village. Why don't you think of giving some to my grandparents?"

After being questioned by Xiaolan, Chunlan's face turned red and white, and she was very embarrassed.

"Our family finally rescued the old couple from prison and sent them back to our Shengjia Village. The rule of our farmers is that the old couple should live with the eldest son. But now the old couple is gone, and now there are only our family, my fourth uncle's family and your family. We helped rescue the old couple from prison, and my fourth uncle and fourth aunt helped take care of the old couple every day. As for the rest, shouldn't you help too?"

As a married woman, Sheng Chunlan had no responsibility to raise Grandpa Sheng and Cui. But she couldn't lie with her eyes open. She had to find fault with everything today, saying that there was nothing in the old house. This was obviously saying that Xiaolan's family and Shenghao's family didn't take good care of the old couple. How could Xiaolan forgive her?

"What do you mean?" Sheng Chunlan looked embarrassed and kept looking at Sheng Xuan, wanting him to help her out.

But Sheng Xuan seemed not to notice, just sitting on the kang, like a stone sculpture, not saying a word or moving. He also disliked Chunlan, but he was not good at talking and could not win over her. But today his daughter made his elder sister speechless, so he knew that what his daughter said was reasonable, and even if it was not reasonable, he knew that he had to side with his daughter.

When Sheng Xuan was at home, Xiao Lan had always told him that unless the old couple said they wanted to go back to Hejian County, no one else's words would matter. Therefore, since the old couple did not say anything about going back to Hejian County this time, he naturally would not say anything.

When she came back at noon, Xiaolan told her about Chunlan.

"My daughter, you did the right thing. I feel relieved when I hear it. Look at the days since the old couple came back, your aunt did nothing but instigate others. Our family cannot argue with her due to our status, but she, on the contrary, argues with our family." Zhang said.

Xiao Lan thought, it seems that Zhang really hates Chunlan, and it seems that she has suffered a lot from Chunlan before.

"The eldest family is really patient. It's been so many days, but they haven't replied to the letter, nor have they sent anyone to look after the old couple. They haven't even mentioned taking them to Hejian County." Zhang said, "By doing this, isn't the eldest family afraid of losing his job?"

The eldest brother wouldn't want to dump the old man and the old lady to her family and her fourth uncle's family, right? After such a long time without any reply or visit, Xiao Lan became more and more certain of her guess. They are so hateful and shameless.

"Mom and Dad, after dinner, let's write another letter. I don't believe that my uncle really doesn't care about his official hat. If they really don't want to take care of grandpa and grandma, then he won't have to be the county magistrate in Hejian County."

People of this era, no matter what they think in their hearts, dare not bear the reputation of being unfilial, otherwise, although Sheng Nuo was extremely unwilling at the beginning, he had to take the old couple and the people from the second room to take up the post, and did not dare to mention dividing the family.

Xiaolan's family has now separated and is now two families with the old Sheng family. The meaning of taking care of the old couple in their family is different from that of Sheng Nuo taking care of the old couple. As long as Sheng Nuo dares to leave the old couple at home, as long as someone submits a letter to the higher authorities, saying that he is unfilial, then his official position will be over.

After lunch, the family started talking about Shengnuo's family.

"How come the boss looks like this? He really looks crooked."

Xiao Lan wanted to say something, but she held it back.

Not only Sheng Nuo grew crooked, but Sheng Kai and Sheng Hong also didn't grow straight.

However, this is inseparable from the expectations of Sheng Laoyezi. The old man placed his hopes of studying and passing the imperial examination on Sheng Nuo. In order to let the eldest son study with peace of mind, he took on all the things in the old family except books. It can be said that for so many years, the eldest son has been living under the support of the whole family of the old Sheng family. Coupled with the indulgence of the old man and Cui, they developed their selfish and self-interested personalities.

After a few days, Xiao Ye couldn't stand it anymore and came to Xiao Lan's house again.

"Sister Xiaolan, when are our grandparents going to leave?" Xiaoye said with a sad face, "Our grandparents have been making trouble again these past two days and have started to curse at us again."

"After my dad finished heating the kang for them last night, my grandma started to scold him. Her voice became louder and louder. She accused him of not being able to make a living, not giving her the money he earned, and also of having no conscience."

"So my fourth uncle is just going to listen to it?" Xiao Lan said, holding his forehead.

"That's exactly what I heard." Xiao Ye said angrily, "My grandma was crying while hugging my dad that day. Then my eldest aunt came and talked to my dad about the past that night. They kept talking about how good they were to my dad and how difficult it was to raise him. My eldest aunt also told my dad that he should never forget my grandma's kindness."

Xiao Lan was speechless after hearing this. According to Xiao Ye's description, Cui's method of giving Sheng Hao a slap in the face and then a sweet date to eat had completely won Sheng Hao over.

"Sister Xiaolan, please think of a way to let them go." Xiao Ye begged.

Now Sheng Hao's heart has leaned towards Cui. As the head of the family, as long as Cui can control Sheng Hao, Xiao Ye's family will not be able to get rid of Cui. In this way, their family will still live the same life as before the separation.
