Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

After Zhang knew the truth, she fainted.

Shengxuan, Xiaolan, Xiaoting and Xiaowen hurried to help.

After a long time, Zhang slowly woke up, then hugged Xiaolan and burst into tears.

Xiaoting and Xiaowen also understood what was going on and started crying too.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" The shopkeeper was very puzzled. The family was fine just now, how come they were crying so sadly after drinking a pot of tea?

Pedestrians on the road stopped one after another. They were all from the same town, villages were connected to villages, relatives were connected to relatives, and they were all connected in some way. It was clear who was who.

"Isn't this the third son of the Sheng family?"

"Your family is so cruel."

"At least I've raised him this big."

"Your old man is really cruel. He probably kept it a secret from you two."

"It's not a great virtue to spend money to buy a life. It's not that my family is so poor that they can't even afford to eat. No one would be so arrogant."

"Your family is not poor. Your eldest brother lives a life of luxury in town."

Sheng Xuan's face flushed red, and he tried to help Zhang with a trembling body, but Zhang pushed him away. "You old Sheng family are going to kill someone. You are so immoral."

"Xiao Lan, let's go home and pack up, and come back to my parents' home with me. I can't stay at Old Sheng's house for even a moment."

Zhang's legs were so weak that she couldn't get up several times. The three children finally helped her up and supported her as she walked back slowly. Sheng Xuan followed silently behind her, and no one spoke along the way.

"Third brother, where have you been? Why haven't I seen you all morning?" Old Master Sheng was squatting at the door of the upper room, smoking his pipe.

Sheng Xuan ignored him and followed Zhang and the three children.

Cui was picking up eggs in the chicken coop. Seeing that the third son ignored the old man, she was very angry. "Where did you come back from? You can't even hear your father talking to you. Did your ears grow hair or are you dumb and can't speak anymore?"

Cui didn't even bother to pick up the eggs. She followed Sheng Xuan with a ladle in her hand, cursing him all the way to his doorstep.

After watching Zhang, Xiao Lan and the other two enter the west wing, he turned around with a gloomy face and looked at Cui face to face.

Cui shuddered in her heart. From childhood to adulthood, the third child has always been honest and dull. This is the first time she has seen such a situation.

Sheng Xuan did not follow him into the house, but turned around and walked towards the main room. Old Master Sheng and Cui felt something was wrong and hurried to follow. Before they reached the door, they heard laughter coming from inside. Sheng Xuan was instantly defeated and broke into the room.

In the west wing, Zhang was packing her luggage with Xiaolan, Xiaoting and Xiaowen when they heard Sheng Nuo's roar faintly coming from the main room.

"Put your luggage here first. I'll go ask your grandfather and the eldest brother how they could be so cruel to kill you." Zhang was so angry that she was shaking and couldn't speak clearly.

The mother and her two children went to the main room, and as soon as they entered the room, they heard Sheng Nuo speaking in a fierce voice.

"Third brother, where did you hear this rumor? Don't just believe it. It's totally untrue!"

Old Master Sheng, Mrs. Shen, and Sheng Xuan entered the room one after another. Her grandparents were sitting on the edge of the kang, on which was a pile of cloth. The Sheng family was sitting on the kang, apparently measuring sizes for clothes.

Xiao Lan looked at the expressions of the others. Boss Sheng denied it fiercely. Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Cui pretended to be calm. Mrs. Wang and Xiaoru stared at Sheng Xuan. Sheng Hong and Mrs. Xu were not in the room.

"Third brother, Xiaolan was obviously playing around and hit her head. How can you say it was the eldest brother's fault?" Cui said, pretending to be calm.

"Mom and Dad, this matter has spread all over the town. You and my eldest brother did this, right?" Sheng Xuan's eyes were red and his voice was trembling. "Xiao Lan is your granddaughter. Are you going to kill her for money?"

"Dad, you want Xiaolan to be buried with you just for a few hundred taels of silver. This kind of thing of murdering someone for money is really immoral. Aren't you afraid of retribution?" Zhang couldn't help crying. "The child's father and I have been working hard at home. How could we let you down? You are harming my daughter like this!"

Mr. Sheng puffed on his cigarette and wanted to explain himself, but no sound came out.

"Old Third, you have been possessed by a ghost. What nonsense are you talking about?" Cui deliberately yelled loudly.

"Grandpa, grandma, this matter has spread all over our area. It seems that the whole family has kept it a secret from my parents."

"You little girl have grown up! Third brother, are you all crazy? Why are you talking to us like this?"

"Old Third," Grandpa Sheng took a few puffs of his cigarette and finally spoke, "Xiao Lan is fine now. Some things are over and done with. We are a family, so don't hurt the harmony."

"I don't dare live with a murderer. I'm afraid that one day I'll be alone and my life will be in danger."

"What a murderer or not, that's really harsh words. The third brother's country girl is worthless, she is abandoned when she is born and sold for a lot of money when she grows up." Wang said with a fake smile.

Xiao Lan was so angry that she started to scratch her.

This person whom she calls aunt is simply a beast. She can even say such words.

Zhang was afraid that her daughter would suffer, so she quickly pulled her behind her and slapped Wang in the face several times.

Wang was used to living in the town, so how could she compare with Zhang, who was used to doing farm work, in terms of strength.

The corner of her mouth was split open by the slap, and her hair was messed up. "I'm your sister-in-law, how dare you hit me!"

"I'm going to hit you, you heartless thing. Why don't you sell your daughter? If I kill your daughter, then I can hurt my Xiaolan!" As he said this, he slapped her several times and dragged her off the kang to the ground, and the two of them started fighting.

When Sheng Xiaoru saw her mother being bullied, she rushed over to beat Zhang. Xiaoting grabbed her hair and slammed her against the wall.

When the eldest brother saw his wife and daughter being beaten, he no longer cared about the elegance and decency of a scholar and raised his hand to hit the third brother. Her father was very angry and would not let him succeed. He slapped him in the face several times and punched him several times, which made him bend over.

"Old Third, I'm your eldest brother. How dare you hit me? Don't you want to live?"

"You have done something like murdering my daughter. Do you really consider me a family member? You are still a scholar. You must have learned a lot in these years. You still want to arrange a ghost marriage. You lack virtue."

"Stop fighting, and calm down for a while." Grandpa Sheng looked at the chaos at home and sighed, "Old Third Family, we are the ones who let you down. It has already happened, what do you want to do?"

"Either split up the family or report to the authorities. We mothers really don't dare to live here anymore!" Zhang said firmly.

"How dare you!" Cui glared at Zhang with her triangular eyes, wanting to eat her. "Xiao Lan is fine, why report her to the authorities!"

"Third brother, you can't report it to the police. If you do, your eldest brother's years of hard study will be wasted, and his future will be ruined." Old Master Sheng frowned, "Family disgrace cannot be made public. We must keep this secret."

"Since you don't want to report to the police, then let's split up!" Zhang said. She had already lost Xiaolan once, and she didn't want to lose her a second time. She felt uneasy living with these beasts in human clothing.
