Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"Dad, even if the second son's family goes to clarify, people have to believe it. We don't know what will come out of their mouths." Sheng Lanhua said.

"However, your mother and I will go door to door to talk to them." Old Master Sheng glanced at Lanhua and said, "For us farmers, we usually use the method I mentioned earlier, but since you don't like it, this is the only way. If you're still not satisfied, you can tell me another one."

Sheng Lanhua thought about it, with some dissatisfaction still in her eyes, but she finally calmed down.

"The third family is no longer considered a farming family...one word from them is more important than a hundred words from us..." Sheng Lanhua muttered softly.

The old man heard it clearly, but pretended not to hear it at all. Although the old man felt that the second son's family was not fair in Xiaoyin's matter, the matter had already happened. If he really wanted to make amends, it was not impossible to let Xiaoyin marry Xiaoyuan. Although Xiaoyin would suffer a little, they were real relatives with the Lanhua family, and they would be even closer in the future. Naturally, their old Sheng family would treat Xiaoyin well and would do their best to compensate Xiaoyin. But Lanhua disagreed.

Old Master Sheng felt that if Lanhua was more responsible, she should agree with his idea, but she disagreed, and he couldn't force her to agree. There is no such thing as a worry-free thing. If one of the two families, Sheng Kai and Sheng Lanhua, could be sensible and worry-free, this matter wouldn't have turned out like this...

Mr. Sheng was a shrewd old man. He thought about Lanhua's request for a moment and knew what she was planning. It was just like what she had just whispered.

But in this matter, Mr. Sheng did not intend to indulge Lanhua, and he was also sure that even if he called Sheng Xuan over, he would not agree to any of Lanhua's requests. Mr. Sheng had already tasted the flavor of the third brother's family. If he really followed Lanhua's wishes, he would only push the third brother's family further away, making the third room hate them even more.

"As for Xiaoyin's matter," Grandpa Sheng pondered, "Lanhua, your request is something that we cannot do given our current situation. You should know the situation at home best... We don't have the ability..."

"The second son's family is right there, so why don't you beat them to death? It doesn't matter if you kill them or injure them. I will just pretend that I never gave birth to this son..." After saying this, the old man shut up and stopped talking.

Sheng Lanhua was stunned when she heard the old man's words, and then she burst into tears, "Dad, Mom..."

In the evening, Xiao Ye came to find Xiao Lan. At this time, Xiao Lan was roasting charcoal next to the stove in the basement. Seeing Xiao Ye coming to take it, she hurriedly called her, "Ye'er, come over and roast the charcoal, warm yourself up..."

Xiao Ye agreed and came over. Then he whispered something in Xiao Lan's ear, and then a look of surprise appeared on Xiao Lan's face.

Seeing the two sisters mumbling on the floor, Zhang waved to them to sit on the kang, "Don't freeze on the floor, both of you. Hurry up and get on the kang. If you have something to say, talk on the kang..."

Zhang also knew that Xiaoye had gone to the old house. She had never treated Xiaoye as an outsider. After Xiaoye got on the kang, she asked, "What happened? Everyone left?"

Xiao Lan handed her a cup of hot tea, "Warm you up and moisten your throat..." She knew that Xiao Ye would not have anything to eat or drink during this half hour in the old house.

Xiao Ye took the teacup, took a sip, and then told everyone in detail what she had seen and heard.

When Zhang and Xiaolan heard that Sheng Lanhua and Zhou Shuren were here to settle accounts with the second family, they said that it was the second family who did something immoral and it was understandable that they were looking for them.

Zhang even lamented that in the beginning of the Sheng family, Grandpa Sheng was known for his kindness and good family tradition, but now...

Although Zhang only said half of the words, everyone knew what she meant. The family tradition of the old Sheng family was becoming more and more biased. However, Xiao Lan held the opposite view from Zhang. She always felt that the family tradition of the old Sheng family had always been like this, because no matter in the past or now, the old man and the old house still enjoyed a good reputation as before. This reputation was obtained by the old man for outsiders to see, because he had always been generous and modest in foreign relations. But the old house was very partial to its own family. However, these things were well covered up and suppressed by the old man, and people outside naturally could not see the real situation inside the old house. However, the uneven distribution caused by partiality will eventually backfire. Now the second family no longer wants to tolerate, so cracks have appeared in the old house now.

"What else did you talk about? You didn't fight, did you?" Xiao Lan asked.

Xiaoye shook his head and said, "There was no fight." Then Xiaoye said that Zhou Shuren didn't say anything or take action after he came. Lanhua wanted to hit Shengkai, but was stopped by everyone.

"However, their family did put forward a condition," Xiao Ye continued, explaining the condition proposed by Sheng Lanhua.

"Oh..." Zhang was immediately shocked by this condition.

"What did our master say? Did he agree to her?" Xiao Lan asked.

"My grandfather agreed to the first request, but as for the request to arrange a marriage for Xiaoyin, my grandfather did not agree." Xiao Ye said.

In fact, the development of this matter to the present is indeed due to the wrongdoing of Sheng Kai's family, because the reputation of Xiao Yin has indeed been affected. In this era, it is actually very easy to solve this matter, and it is indeed the solution proposed by the old man, to let Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yin get married, and then those gossips will disappear.

But Sheng Lanhua could not accept this solution. It must be said that Sheng Lanhua was not an ordinary person. In this case, ordinary women would accept their fate, but Sheng Lanhua did not accept it. She did not intend to let her daughter Xiaoyin marry into the old Sheng family.

Zhang said, "It is right to let the second brother's family restore Xiaoyin's reputation, and it is also right to severely punish the second brother. People are willing to let Xiaoyin marry Xiaoyuan, so it is reasonable to let them find a good marriage for Xiaoyin...but..."

But isn't the standard that Sheng Lanhua proposed for Xiaoyin's marriage with Menhao too high? Zhang shook her head and sighed. "I'm a person who says what I think. Xiaoyin is indeed at a disadvantage in this matter, but Lanhua's request is too high... Can Xiaoyin's conditions be said to be such a marriage?"
