The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

The three of them returned home carrying their backpacks. Yan Zhengdao, who was sitting under the eaves weaving a rattan basket, greeted them. Next to him was a man Chu Xiao had never seen before, with a stern face and an impatient look.

"Have you had lunch?" Yan Zhengdao no longer had his usual smile on his face, and even looked a little serious: "There's still rice hot in the pot in the kitchen, go eat some first."

Zhao Guizhi responded, and the few of them put the backpacks into the kitchen first. Although they were not very hungry after eating buns on the road, Zhao Guizhi still brought out the food, and the few of them took a few bites.

The man sitting in the yard was a little unhappy: "Fourth brother, this person is back, you should ask him quickly and give him a definite answer whether it will work or not."

Yan Zhengdao glanced at him and said, "I've already said that it's Xiao Ge'er's dowry. How can I just sell it?"

The man was Yan Zhengxing, Yan Zhengdao’s fifth brother, who had not been in contact with him for more than ten years.

The reason why they lived in the same village as if they didn't know each other was because the old man of the Yan family was still alive, so the family had not been completely separated.

At that time, the county town was going to build a dam. In addition to the second son Yan Zhengde who married into the family, there were three other strong laborers. However, the eldest son, Yan Zhengli, sprained his ankle while catching eels in the fields a few nights ago, so he naturally could not go.

It happened that Zhao Guizhi had just given birth to Yan Zhennan and was still in confinement, so Yan Zhengdao said that he would let his fifth brother go first, and he would replace him after Zhao Guizhi was out of confinement.

But later on, it was the autumn harvest time and his father was sick, so Yan Zhengdao had to delay the work again and again, and this delay led to something bad happening.

A heavy rain caused a half-repaired dam to burst, washing away dozens of people who were repairing the dam, including Yan Zhengxing, the fifth son of the Yan family.

The old man passed away in a hurry a few days after hearing the news. After the two brothers of the Yan family searched for him for several days without success, they had no choice but to bury the old man first.

After the old man was buried, the two brothers searched for more than half a month but still found nothing, so they both thought that the man was probably gone.

At this time, Yan Zhengli's wife said that since the old man had died, it was time to divide the family. Yan Zhengdao originally wanted to wait, hoping that his fifth brother would come back, but his eldest sister-in-law cried and made a fuss, and even always made trouble for Zhao Guizhi.

There was no choice but to split up the family, as there was only one house. Yan Zhengli said that he planned to go to Lijia Village, where there was a man selling houses and land, and if the two brothers were separated they would avoid discord between the sisters-in-law.

So almost all the family's money was given to Yan Zhengli, and even three acres of land were sold, and the family's house and the remaining eight acres of land belonged to Yan Zhengdao.

But less than a month after the division, Yan Zhengxing came back. Upon learning that his father had died and that his eldest and fourth brothers had divided the family property, he smashed the house in a rage and even nearly killed Yan Zhennan, who was only a few months old.

At that time, Yan Zhengxing hated Yan Zhengdao to death. If it weren't for this man, he would not have been washed away by the flood, and he would not have been a beggar for two months, begging all the way back to the village, but faced such a result when he returned.

Later, after mediation by the village, Yan Zhengdao gave the house to Yan Zhengxing and also gave him four acres of land. However, Yan Zhengli was only willing to pay twenty taels of silver because his wife was very fierce.

After the family was divided again, Yan Zhengxing threatened that since everyone was hoping for his death, they would have no further contact.

Yan Zhengdao had a hard time during the period when the family just separated. Not only did he have no house, he also had only four acres of land. In order to make money, he followed others to do business for two years, built a house and bought land.

He always felt that he owed his fifth brother, so he would buy some things for him from time to time, but Yan Zhengxing ignored him and even threw the things out.

But Yan Zhengdao just felt that he was angry, so he would still go to visit him from time to time. Until one day, when the five-year-old Yan Zhennan was playing with the children in the village, he ran too fast and bumped into Yan Zhengxing.

Yan Zhengxing actually kicked the child far away, and was seen by the ten-year-old Yan Zhenshen, who rushed up to fight with him. As a result, Yan Zhengxing had no sense of being an elder and beat Yan Zhenshen until he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

He cursed, "Your family owes me this. You little bastards deserve to be beaten to death."

After five years of being treated coldly, Yan Zhengdao finally couldn't help it and ran to Yan Zhengxing to argue. The two had another fight and finally stopped communicating completely.

Therefore, Yan Zhengdao never thought that his fifth brother would one day take the initiative to find him and call him fourth brother.

Yan Zhenshen came out of the kitchen and heard what they were saying, "Why did Fifth Uncle buy the land?"

"Don't ask about our elders' affairs." Yan Zhengxing rolled his eyes at him, and then said as if giving alms: "I've also looked at the land of Chu Laoer's family, and it's not good farmland. I'll pay six taels of silver per mu, and the ten mu of land at the north mountain root will cost sixty taels."

Yan Zhenshen never felt that his father owed anything to his fifth uncle. The reason why he didn't go to exchange the person back then was because he was forced by the situation, and the bursting of the dam was also an accident. What's more, his father had given enough for the redivision of the family property.

In addition, he was so cruel to his younger brother when he was a child. This kind of relative can only make people feel disheartened.

"My father is right. That land is my husband's dowry. We can't sell it."

Yan Zhengxing snorted coldly: "You are a family of old, weak and sick people. Even if you have land, who will farm it? You might as well exchange it for silver to pay for your father's medical treatment. What's more, this is what your family owes me. Even if I don't give you silver, you should compensate me. I give you silver and you are still complaining here."

Yan Zhengxing smiled proudly: "I might as well tell you that there is a big shot who wants to build a manor at the foot of the mountain. He has set his eyes on that piece of land at the foot of the mountain. If you sell it to me, you can get money. If you don't sell it and it is forcibly confiscated, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Yan Zhenshen's expression did not change, nor did his tone: "Uncle Wu, if you have nothing else to say, please go back. We are not selling the land."

"Don't regret it." Yan Zhengxing saw that this family didn't seem to take his words seriously, and snorted coldly: "Yan Zhengdao, I tell you, you will never be able to repay me in this lifetime. When you die, go down and confess to your father."

Chu Xiao was in the kitchen listening to Zhao Guizhi talking about the affairs of the two families. He felt angry and walked out quickly.

Standing at the kitchen door, he couldn't help but ask, "What did my father owe you? Someone has to go to the forced labor service in this government office. It's either this one or that one. Since you have to choose one of the three, it doesn't matter who you choose."

"Shut up. It's not your place to interrupt your elders' affairs." Yan Zhengxing yelled.

“你算什么长辈？”楚潇是爱憎分明的人，听说二弟差点死在这人手里，深哥被打的三天下不来炕，气的他都想直接把人揍个半死，去他大爷的长辈，这就是个垃圾。

"Yan Zhengxing, right? The reason you can yell here is because you rely on the kindness of my parents. Why don't you go and make trouble with your eldest brother? Are you afraid that your eldest sister-in-law will tear you apart?"

Chu Xiao sneered: "Didn't you go to the village to ask around? I, Chu Xiao, am not someone you can easily mess with. I advise you to get out of here as soon as possible. Stay away from our family members in the future. If I hear you talking nonsense again about who owes you something, I don't mind actually owing you something."
