Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Considering that Han Xiuwu is Han Xiaomei and Han Zheng's biological brother, after Han Zheng came back from school, when the family was having dinner, Li Yu objectively recounted to them what happened at noon.

Han Xiaomei had listened to it at noon and cried for half the afternoon. When she listened to it again, she couldn't help but cry again.

Yang Qiuyue was so vicious that she actually wanted to destroy her second sister-in-law and third brother. Fortunately, her second sister-in-law found out early and nothing happened, otherwise she didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Compared to Han Xiaomei's open emotions, Han Zheng seemed much calmer, but the strength with which his fingers gripped the chopsticks revealed his true emotions.

He was so angry that he even wanted to stab Yang Qiuyue with a knife.

Li Yu saw that something was wrong with him and picked up a piece of meat and put it in his bowl. "Eat, don't think too much. Yang Qiuyue has done many evil things, and she will suffer the consequences next."

Qi Yue helped to speak up: "Yes, bad people don't live long."

He acted like a little adult. Li Yu smiled and said, "I'm sorry for putting you through so much trouble these days. The new house will be ready soon. There's a small back garden there. When someone comes to visit us in the afternoon, you can go play in the garden."

Qi Yue: "Thank you, Sister Li, but you just said the wrong thing. I am not wronged. Without your help, I would definitely be a beggar in the town now, fighting with other beggars for food and a place to sleep. It is you who gave me a stable life."

Li Yu rubbed his forehead hair. This child is really likable. She didn’t help the wrong person.

The family ate and drank, and then washed up after the meal.

Before going to bed, Han Zheng held a candle and went to see whether the courtyard door was closed. When he reached the door, he heard rustling sounds coming from outside.

Han Zheng's brows sternly asked, "Who?"

No one spoke up.

Li Yu heard Han Zheng's words and walked quickly to his side. "What's going on?"

Han Zheng looked at the door: "There was a sound of footsteps outside just now."

Li Yu pursed her lips, turned around and went back to the house to get a stick and a knife. Before leaving the main room, she reminded Han Xiaomei and Qi Yue: "You two stay in the house and don't go out."

Han Xiaomei knew she couldn't help much, so she nodded obediently. Qi Yue stood next to Han Xiaomei and said, "I understand."

Seeing that they were obedient, Li Yu nodded and quickly walked to Han Zheng.

The two held their breath and listened to the sounds outside.

After listening for a while and not hearing any sound, Li Yu asked, "Could it be someone passing by?"

Under the candlelight, her eyes were particularly bright. Han Zheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Maybe."

"Then let's go back. No matter what." Li Yu stood up straight and walked forward.

Han Zheng looked at the door, then turned around holding the candle.

After taking two steps, there was another voice coming from the door. This time, not only Han Zheng, but Li Yu could also hear it clearly.

"Who?" Li Yu asked in a deep voice.

No one answered.

Han Zheng returned with the stick.

Li Yu took two steps at a time and walked to his side.

"Second sister-in-law, what should we do?" Han Zheng asked softly.

Li Yu motioned him to be quiet, then raised her voice and said, "My friend outside must have important business to come here at this time. If you have something important, just tell us directly. If we can help, we will definitely help."

Still no one said a word.

Li Yu narrowed his eyes. "Since my friend doesn't want to talk, then just stay outside. But I'll say something ugly in advance. Now that you've introduced yourself, I can treat you as someone you're looking for and treat you with courtesy. If you come in uninvited in the middle of the night, I'll ask you to stay in the Jiangyang County Jail for a while."

After the words were spoken, the people outside remained silent.

Li Yu lost his patience and said to Han Zheng, "Let's go back to the house and rest. If this person wants to suffer from the cold, then let him suffer. It has nothing to do with us anyway."

The two walked into the house together, and halfway there, the man outside finally spoke.

"Han Zheng, Xiu Wen's wife, it's me."

Li language: "......"

Han Zheng's expression suddenly turned gloomy.

*

The person who came was Han Xiuwu. He must have been beaten up. There were several obvious nail marks on his face, and his clothes were torn in several places with strips of cloth hanging down, making him look like a beggar.

"What are you doing here?" Looking at this relative who once brought him care and love, Han Zheng felt a dull pain somewhere deep in his heart.

"Han Zheng, Xiu Wen's wife." Han Xiuwu knelt down with a plop. "Qiuyue was wrong this time. I will take care of her in the future. Can you please forgive her this time?" As long as they forgive her, and he begs the elders again, he should not be kicked out of the family tree.

In the village, people without clan relatives are the most bullied because they have few relatives and are weak. Those who bully the weak and fear the strong are most likely to bully them.

Although he guessed what he was going to do the moment he heard him introduce himself, at this moment, Han Zheng was still so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

"Han Xiuwu!" Han Zheng spoke word by word. "It was because Yang Qiuyue failed this time that the three of us were able to escape. If she had succeeded, would you have pleaded with Yang Qiuyue for us? Would you have asked her to persuade Yang Qiushan to release my second sister-in-law, not to poison me, and not to sell Xiaomei out?"

Han Xiuwu: “…”

"You won't." Han Zheng said, "You don't care about us family members at all. You only care about your little family."

Han Xiuwu stammered, "I promise this is the last time. Qiuyue will never do those things again."

"I don't believe you, nor do I believe her." Han Zheng felt that he was hopeless and shook his head, saying, "Go away. We will never forgive you."

Han Xiuwu looked up and saw his determined face, so he had to stand up.

He walked home slowly with his back hunched. Han Zheng looked at him, thought for a moment, and called him, "Brother."

Han Xiuwu turned around suddenly, with surprise and joy on his face, "Han Zheng, you just called me big brother."

Han Zheng showed a mocking smile: "This is the last time I call you big brother. It's not to forgive you, but to remind you. Yang Qiuyue is not a good person. If you continue to be stubborn, you will definitely not get any good in the future. I have said everything here. Whether you listen or not, it has nothing to do with me in the future. Anyway, the big brother who cared for Xiaomei and me back then is already dead. We only have the second sister-in-law now."

The light in Han Xiuwu's eyes slowly went out. He looked at Han Zheng and opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

"Go away." Han Zheng waved his hand and closed the door.

Li Yu stood there and accompanied him.

After a while, footsteps were heard outside, and the sound gradually faded away.

Han Zheng was silent for a while and said, "Why did he become like this? Although he is not as smart as my second brother, he used to love Xiaomei and me very much, but now he..."

"People will always change, but some people get better and some get worse." Li Yu said: "Don't think too much, go back to sleep."

*

Probably because he stood outside for too long in thin clothes the day before, Han Zheng had a fever the next day.

It's not too serious, but I can't go to school.

After preparing the medicine for him, Li Yu arranged for Qi Yue and Han Xiaomei to look after him. Then Li Yu pushed the cart out of the house and when he passed by Han Sheng's house, he called Han Xiaocao to join him.

It took some time to deal with Yang Qiuyue yesterday, so there isn't much braised meat today, so the two of them can just go to the food store.

As the weather gradually warmed up, more people went out for an outing. Li Yu went to Mingtong Academy to ask for leave for Han Zheng. On the way back, he saw people traveling together and an idea to make money popped into his mind.
