Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Those who did something wrong were justified in belittling those who did nothing wrong. Normally, Sheng Xuan would ignore it, because it was impossible to reason with Cui. However, even clay people have tempers. Cui kept stepping into Sheng Xuan's minefield again and again. Even if he had a good temper, he couldn't help it sometimes, not to mention that this happened in front of Xiaolan and Xiaowen.

"Is there anything we haven't done yet? What else do you want us to do?" Sheng Xuan asked, "Do you have to kill me to be satisfied?"

Sheng Xuan's words were very serious. Who dared to say that he would take his life now? As a mother, if Cui really took her son's life, would she still be a mother? Could she still ask her sons to respect her with confidence?

Cui was held there without uttering a word.

"What good will it do you if you force me to death?" Sheng Xuan said after looking at Cui.

The old woman tried to persuade them to reconcile, but no matter how she tried, Cui Shi couldn't be persuaded. Cui Shi felt very wronged at this moment. She had sent a gift to Xiao Wen before, which was already a sign of submission to her son. Now she was humbly begging Sheng Xuan to make the decision for her, but Sheng Xuan treated her like this and couldn't make her wish come true. How could she bear it?

Sheng Xuan rejected her request so ruthlessly that she lost face. The more Cui thought about it, the more aggrieved she became. She simply got mad and started crying while choking the edge of the kang with her head, yelling that she wanted to die and that she wanted to kill the old man.

The people in the room naturally couldn't let Cui get hurt, so they quickly hugged Cui, but Cui still struggled. Finally, Sheng Xuan said helplessly, "Mom, what do you want?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Seeing Sheng Xuan finally give in, Cui said, "In this courtyard, it's either me or him."

Sheng Xuan sighed and looked at Xiao Wen and Xiao Lan. Before coming, Xiao Lan called Sheng Xuan and Xiao Wen together and told them about the demands that Cui might make. They also discussed countermeasures together. Sheng Xuan disagreed with the idea of ​​driving Sheng Kai out of the old house. At that time, the three of them had agreed that if Cui made this unreasonable request, Sheng Xuan would deal with it. If Sheng Xuan could make Cui give up this idea, everything would be fine. If not, then the next thing would be handed over to Xiao Wen and Xiao Lan.

Sheng Xuan has tried his best. Although he made Cui very angry, he still did not give up the idea of ​​​​driving Sheng Kai away from Cui. So the next matter will be left to Xiaolan and Xiaowen.

"Grandma, if you let him leave here, then what are you going to do with this house, garden, land and so on?" Xiao Wen said.

Driving Sheng Kai out of the old house is different from asking Sheng Kai to leave the house with nothing. Xiao Wen now wants to find out whether Cui has any additional conditions for asking Sheng Kai to leave the old house.

Hearing Xiaowen's question, Cui Shi heard some clues and hope. She no longer looked at Shengxuan, but placed all her hopes on Xiaowen. Cui Shi knew that Shengxuan's family was so big now. Although Shengxuan was the nominal head of the family, he could not make the decision on many things. The ones who could really make the decision in this family were Xiaowen and Xiaolan. As long as Xiaolan or Xiaowen spoke up, it would be a done deal.

Xiaowen's words are much more useful than Shengxuan's. Sheng Xuan may not have a way to drive Sheng Kai away, but Xiaowen definitely has a way and the ability to do so.

"It's just to get him out of my sight, so that I can live a few more years." Cui said. Cui's tone of voice now has changed significantly from before. She spoke without scruples and unscrupulously in front of Sheng Xuan, but in front of Xiaowen, she was more like a normal old man, and the aggressiveness she had towards Sheng Xuan was gone. Cui no longer talked about those irrelevant things when talking to Xiaowen, but just talked about the matter, "I don't want any of the things that the old man left for him. They all belong to him. As long as he can disappear from my sight smoothly, I can give him some extra." At this point, Cui paused, as if she had made a great decision, "I will keep three acres of the six acres of land under my name, and the other three acres will be given to him."

After hearing what Cui said, Xiaowen, Xiaolan and Shengxuan were silent for a long time. Cui would rather suffer a loss than drive Sheng Kai away. It seemed that she really couldn't stand what Sheng Kai did. Otherwise, with Cui's character of not wanting to suffer a loss, how could she wrong herself like this?

But what is this? Evil will be punished by evil? She never treated her honest and filial son well, always trying to get some money from him. However, the son who did not fulfill his obligation to support her and made her angry, not only got the inheritance left by the old man, but also got other subsidies. What's going on? Xiao Lan thought about it for a while and couldn't help but sneer in her heart. The old house of Sheng family has always done things this way, whether it was during the lifetime of old man Sheng or after his death.

However, this is the old house's style of doing things. As Xiaolan's family, who have already separated from the family, there is no way to judge. Xiaolan is now extremely fortunate that her family left the old house early, otherwise, under such a style of doing things, she is afraid that her mentality would have collapsed long ago.

"Even so, I'm afraid they still don't want to leave. After all, this house was left by my grandfather. Even if this matter is made public, if we want to drive them away, I'm afraid everyone will stand on their side." Xiao Wen was silent for a while before speaking slowly.

If Sheng Xuan dared to refute Cui like this, Cui would probably jump up and down immediately, but since Xiao Wen said this, Cui didn't dare to do so. "I know this matter is not easy to handle. I have tolerated him in the past and didn't say anything. But now you are a scholar, your words are more effective than anything else."

"Grandma, Xiaowen is a juren now, but because of this, he should be more careful about what he says and does now than before, because there are people in the court who are monitoring him. Although we are in the countryside, if someone says that Xiaowen is doing something wrong and they report it to the higher-ups, then Xiaowen will be punished." Xiaolan said. "As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind. We must always be on guard against those villains who talk behind our backs. Let's not talk about the distant past, just say that if you say something behind Xiaowen's back and someone with ulterior motives knows about it, I'm afraid they will use this as a handle to hold Xiaowen accountable."
