Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Sheng Xuan first called out "Mom", and then went to see the old man. After calling him twice, the old man slowly opened his eyes.

"Dad, how do you feel?" Sheng Xuan asked, "Have you hired a doctor at home?"

"We don't have a penny at home. Even if we invite a doctor, he will come." Sheng Kai said sarcastically.

That's because they didn't invite a doctor. Thinking about the fact that the news of Grandpa Sheng being beaten came from Sheng Kai's mouth, Sheng Xuan became even angrier.

"I'm fine, why are you all here? Your family is busy right now," Mr. Sheng struggled to get up, "Hurry, help me up."

Old Master Sheng was obviously not confident when he spoke, "Dad, just lie down and talk, don't get up, if you move, you might get into trouble again..." Sheng Nuo said hurriedly, "Dad, isn't the third son here? If you have anything to say, just say it."

Mr. Sheng insisted that Cui help him up, and then half leaned on the bedding.

At this time, Xu came in with a pot of boiling water and asked Xiaocao to get a cup.

"Uncle San, Aunt San, please sit down and talk. Xiaolan, Xiaowen, you both should sit down too... We don't have anything at home, so we just boiled some water, please don't mind..." Xu smiled and poured water for them.

"Brother Hong's wife, you should take a rest," Zhang glanced at Xu and let Xiaoqing take over her work.

Xu's body was weak, and she was just trying to be energetic. Her pale face and lips showed that she was still not feeling well.

After a while of bustle, everyone sat down.

"Dad, what's going on? Why did the child's uncle say that you were beaten by Er Laizi's family?" Sheng Xuan asked.

"Did you tell the third brother this?" Mr. Sheng did not respond to Sheng Xuan first, but turned around and asked Sheng Kai first.

"Dad, I didn't. I definitely didn't say that." Sheng Kai quickly denied.

"It was my second uncle who asked me to go find my third uncle's family. That's what my second uncle told me." Xiao Ye said.

When Mr. Sheng heard this, how could he not understand what was going on?

"Er Laizi's family would never dare to attack me." said Mr. Sheng.

"How could my second uncle tell such a lie?" Xiao Lan said immediately, "My father heard the news just now and wanted to take people to settle the score with Er Laizi's family immediately."

"Then you go," Sheng Kai said immediately, "Even if their family didn't fight with the old man, look how angry they made him. Third brother, you should lead people to beat them up."

Xiao Lan couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Look, this is what Sheng Kai is doing with the abacus beads. This is his real purpose.

"Second uncle, do you think this is Hejian County? Are our family your thugs?" Xiao Wen said seriously.

"This is not..." Sheng Kai was about to speak but was interrupted by the old man.

"Second brother, what did I tell you? You should be more honest. You suffered such a big loss in Hejian County, why haven't you learned your lesson yet?" Old Master Sheng scolded.

Sheng Kai immediately lowered his head and shut up.

"Old Third, Xiao Wen, don't bother with him. He is just such a scoundrel." said Mr. Sheng.

"Dad, what's going on? I was scared to death when I heard the letter." Sheng Xuan ignored Sheng Kai and asked the old man.

The old man lowered his head and sighed.

"Er Laizi's family is repaying kindness with enmity. They neither want to rent to our family nor continue to farm our land. He said that it was agreed that the land would be rented to them for three years."

The character of Erlaizi's family is known to everyone in the village, but Mr. Sheng knew their nature and still rented the land to them.

Now when it comes to asking for land or rent, they start to argue. If it was in the past, it would be easier to talk it out, after all, Sheng Nuo was a scholar at that time and could suppress Er Lizi, but now...

Mr. Sheng must be feeling bad now.

"This is all my fault... They wanted to avoid paying rent and give us less. I was prepared for this, but the amount they mentioned is not enough for the old people in our family to eat..." Grandpa Sheng didn't want to talk more about what happened.

From the few words the old man said, Xiao Lan learned that Erlaizi's family said that the harvest this year was not good, so they had to pay less rent. Erlaizi's family strongly opposed Mr. Sheng's request to take back the land, and unanimously said that if the old man insisted on taking back the land, they needed to be compensated.

As they were talking in the room, they heard footsteps coming from the yard. It turned out that Xiaoxi was leading the village doctor. This was the doctor Xiaowen had asked Xiaoxi to invite.

Because they needed to take Mr. Sheng's pulse, it was not convenient for the women to stay in the house, so Xiao Lan took Xiao Ye to the yard.

"Sister Xiaolan, Xiaocao has been hanging around our second uncle just now..."

Hearing the singing, Xiaoye understood the elegant meaning and called Xiaocao over.

"Xiao Cao, how did our grandpa faint?" Xiao Lan asked.

Xiaocao sniffed and slowly told Xiaolan that her general statement was the same as the old man's, except that she mentioned some things that the old man, Sheng Kai and Sheng Nuo did not mention.

"Er Laizi's mother scolded my grandfather for being a bad guy, and also said that our eldest uncle, second uncle and brother Sheng Hong are all from the same family, and they are not good people..."

Xiao Lan was still thinking about coming. This was not the first time that she had been refused rent by Erlaizi's family. Why was Mr. Sheng's psychological defense so vulnerable this time that he could be so angry? It turned out that there was such a thing.

No wonder, in the end, the rent was not collected, the land was not taken back, but the man was so angry that he collapsed and was carried back on a door panel.

"Xiao Cao, please don't tell this to anyone else in the future." Xiao Lan hurriedly warned.

Xiaocao nodded.

The doctor had been diagnosing the old man for a while. Xiao Lan felt that it was about time, so she went back into the house with Xiao Ye.

"Just write the prescription. I'll let Xiaoxi go with you to get the medicine." Xiao Lan heard Sheng Xuan say this to the doctor as soon as she came in.

Xiao Lan used her eyes to ask Xiao Wen about the old man's condition. Xiao Wen just shook his head and whispered to her, "I'll tell you when I get home."

"Grandpa, when you get the medicine back later, just follow the doctor's instructions and take the medicine on time. You don't have to worry about the money for the medicine." Xiao Wen said

The old man leaned against the bedding, closed his eyes, and waved at Shengxuan and Xiaowen.
