Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"Old lady, why are you so biased? You are only caring about your daughter. Why didn't I see those jewelry you mentioned? And even if you really had some, you would have given them to your daughter a long time ago! We are not your biological children, why do you ask us to support you? Why do you ask the third and fourth brothers for things? Why don't you go sit on the kang in Old Zhou's house!"

"Humph, but you definitely want to go, and the Zhou family has to let you go. Believe it or not, if you go, the Zhou family will beat you out with a stick."

Sheng Kai has really taken risks. When he's anxious, he starts to speak without restraint. He says whatever makes him feel good, without considering the consequences or the feelings of the listeners.

"You eat and use things from the Sheng family, but your heart is biased towards outsiders. Tell me the truth, isn't it just your daughter who isn't my father's? Why are you so biased towards her?"

Before Sheng Kai could stop talking nonsense, Cui Shi howled and rushed towards him. At this time, Cui Shi did not even bother to put on her shoes, and ran directly towards Sheng Kai, looking like she wanted to kill him, "You bastard, I will fight you to death."

Sheng Kai said fiercely, but he didn't dare to fight with Cui. When he saw Cui coming, he quickly dodged. Cui was so angry that she lost her balance and fell onto the stool where Sheng Kai had just sat. Sheng Nuo and others nearby saw this and rushed forward to help. Cui used her hands and feet to beat Sheng Kai around before she was helped back to the kang.

"Why did I raise such a beast? I don't want to live anymore. Give me a rope and let me die. Let me go with the old man."

Cui was told this by Sheng Kai in front of everyone today. Although everyone knew that Sheng Kai was talking nonsense, she was still embarrassed. "I'm not done with him. Today, either I die or he dies!" Cui struggled to get off the kang and fight Sheng Kai to the death. Of course, everyone pulled her back and persuaded her from time to time.

"Tell him to go away, don't let me see him, my heart aches when I see him!"

When Sheng Xuan came back, it was already evening. No one had left yet and they all asked about the result.

"It was divided according to the old lady's wishes." Sheng Xuan said.

"Ah, second brother agreed so easily?" Zhang said.

"He didn't want to agree, but the old lady was desperate." Sheng Xuan simply said what he could say, "If he didn't agree, the old lady would think about it."

Seeing that Sheng Xuan didn't seem to want to talk about the details, everyone stopped asking. Anyway, everyone knew that the old man's funeral and subsequent matters had been handled today.

After seeing off Xiaoyan's family, Xiaoting's family, and Xiaoye's family, Zhang asked, "What happened?"

When Sheng Xuan saw that everyone else had left, he was a little upset and asked, "How did I end up with such a family?"

It was the first time that Zhang and Xiao Lan saw Sheng Xuan like this, so they hurriedly asked what was going on.

Sheng Xuan glanced at Xiao Lan, and then said nothing. Xiao Lan guessed that Sheng Xuan had something he couldn't say in front of her, so she tactfully left the room, leaving only Zhang and Sheng Xuan in the room. The couple faced each other, and Sheng Xuan thought about it, then told her how Sheng Kai had slandered Cui without restraint.

Zhang was also shocked. "The second son is really vicious... The old lady is trying to commit suicide because of this... No one can stand this. They will definitely fight him to the death..."

"The old lady's mind is actually like a mirror. She knows that she can't control the second son's family, so she hurriedly separated them. She can still control the second son's family..."

Sheng Xuan sighed, "Ah, now they are enemies. Because of Xiaoyuan's matter, the second son now blames the old lady for being partial."

Although Zhang felt that Sheng Kai's words today were a bit too much, she also agreed with the fact that the old lady was partial to him. "The reason why the old lady didn't get angry at the old man's funeral was because she was afraid that we would hold her daughter responsible... If she hadn't felt guilty about this, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to stop. And what about Lanhua's family?"

"They're gone. They left when I came out of the old house just now." Sheng Xuan said.

Zhang was a little bit incredulous, "Gone?"

"Well, the old lady sent them away. She said that although the house and the grocery store were burned down, the gold and silver jewelry were salvaged. We should go back and use them frugally, do some small business, and then we can live a good life slowly in the future."

The next day, Xiao Ye came to see Xiao Lan, and told her what Sheng Xuan was embarrassed to say in front of her. A son insulting his mother was a very subversive thing no matter what era it was.

"She always puts the blame on others, and now her son is putting the blame on her head. This is retribution." Xiao Ye is in a very good mood today.

Xiao Lan didn't respond to the question, but just asked about Sheng Hao, "By the way, have you talked to Fourth Uncle?"

"I told him. I'm going all out this time. I didn't care whether he wanted to hear it or not. I told him that the old lady never considered him her son. She just looked down on our family and didn't want our family of four to have an easy life. I also told my father to stay away from them in the future."

"Then what did my fourth uncle say?" Xiao Lan asked.

"My dad didn't say anything. Although he didn't say anything, I think he listened to me this time... If I had told him these things before, my dad would have definitely scolded me, but this time, he didn't say a word about me."

Then Xiao Ye briefly talked about Xiao Yin's family's departure, and also said that when Lanhua left this time, the old lady did not give them any subsidy. This incident shocked Xiao Lan a lot. Although she knew that Lanhua's family had left yesterday, she didn't know that they left empty-handed. She thought yesterday that Cui must have given Lanhua the subsidy money and then sent them away, but she never expected that Cui didn't even give Lanhua's family any subsidy, and just drove them away in such a hurry.

This is not something Cui would do. Cui favors Lanhua. Even though the two have had their ups and downs, they have always been in the same boat. Now that Lanhua's family is in trouble, why is Cui so ruthless at this time? Is it because of what Sheng Kai said yesterday? Is she trying to avoid suspicion? So that everyone will not really believe Sheng Kai's nonsense?
