"Chengyuan, what you said is so heartless. At that time, the magistrate was going to torture you. If your aunt hadn't paid for it, you would have been beaten with fifty strokes of the cane. Would you still be alive?" Xu Huaiyi, who was injured and had his arm in a sling, spoke up.

He also went to court. When he was identifying his brothers and nephews, the pain in his hands was far greater than the pain in his heart.

Xu Siyu was also reflecting on herself. She had indeed acted too quickly and did not bother to discuss compensation with the others.

Isn't this just out of anger?

"Siyu, cousin and Chengyuan were deceived and did such a bad thing. Can you please not drive them away for now? If the eldest aunt knew that she had lost her son, she would be very upset."

"Huaiyi, don't say anything. Your aunt has long thought of not wanting this pair of children and grandchildren." The hot-tempered seventh uncle stopped his nephew from being kind-hearted, and looked at his youngest son Xu Huaixiao who wanted to help and persuade him, and first suppressed these thoughts of not distinguishing right from wrong.

"Uncle, don't say that. That must be what my aunt said when she was venting her anger."

"So you want your aunt to get mad again? Mao Xin, take care of your son."

"Hey hey." Xu Maoxin quickly pulled Xu Huaiyi aside.

People's emotions go through a gradual process of decline.

It may take less than an hour to go from extreme anger at the beginning to calmness after accepting the fact.

I am still angry, of course, but the fire of anger has not burned out, so my anger has naturally subsided.

"You have to pay back the money. As for the descendants of the Xu family, whether you do it or not is up to you."

Xu Siyu said this to Xu Chengyuan.

It can be seen that he is the head of the second house.

If Xu Wangshi were still alive, she would probably have beaten him but would have been worried about him and couldn't let it go.

Xu Siyu still needs to think about how to deal with them.

"Okay, okay, okay. We will stay in the village and never go out again..." Su Li was the first to agree.

"Stay in the village? You don't even have any land, how are you going to pay off your debts? Sell firewood?" Xu Siyu asked softly, but her tone was not kind.

It was so choking that I didn't know how to respond.

It was getting late and Xu Siyu wanted to go home and hug her mother.

Since we have given Xu Chengyuan a way out and let him think about how to make amends, there is no need to rush to reach a conclusion tonight.

Everyone is tired and it's time to rest.

Xu Huaishan locked up the four adults in a cave behind the house where flowers were planted, and the only child was temporarily taken care of by Cheng Qi's family.

Let’s just leave it like this for tonight.

This was the first time that Shopkeeper Jin received a request for help from Xu Siyu, asking her to find out who was targeting her.

Soon, he caught a few minions who did not hide. After confronting Xu Chengyuan, Xu Siyu forced them to pay compensation before releasing them.

It’s not that Xu Siyu can’t walk the path of the evildoers.

All the money received was divided among the shopkeeper Jin's people. It was not enough to pay off Xu Chengyuan's debt, but it was just to make them understand clearly in front of Xu Chengyuan that Xu Chengyuan and his family had indeed been tricked.

"Everyone gets twenty taels. You said there are twenty or thirty of you. The other party has spent a lot of money." Xu Siyu laughed at Xu Chengyuan. His contribution was only two taels.

Those who claimed to be going with him to "threaten" the debtors had been warned in advance to run away after lighting the fire, instead of rushing in close like Xu Huaichuan and his men, trying to injure a few people.

Also, the money they received included hush money. If they were not caught by the government, they would hide in other counties for half a year or a year.

There were more than ten people who hid away obediently, but Xu Siyu was still slow in finding them, and the boss Qian who knew who was online could not be found.

It was harvest time and there was a shortage of workers in the fields, so Xu Chengyuan and the other three went to work in the fields.

Supervised personally by Xu Huaishan, prisoners were released to work during the day and locked up again at night. This was probably the crudest model of labor reform.

After Xu Huaishan had finished harvesting the rice, he was asked to help Xu Huaiyi harvest the rice, but he injured his hand.

After working hard for more than ten days, the family of four who were previously plump and fair became darker and thinner.

Xu Chengyuan was a little surprised after not seeing Xinshan Village for three years. The Xu family had opened a workshop and a clan school, and looked like a big family.

I heard from my uncle that this property is ostensibly his, but in reality it is all my aunt's property.

These managers and helpers can earn a lot of money a year. Now every family in the Xu family has extra money to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law. All the children in the Xu family, both boys and girls, can receive an education and learn both literary and martial arts.

Xu Chengyuan had a headache for many days. He felt that Xinshan Village was so unfamiliar. His uncle and third uncle were so unfamiliar, and so was his aunt...

How did she go from being a bad girl to being a good girl in everyone's eyes?

Even Li Erlaizi, who came to see him secretly, said that he was stupid. Now the people in the entire Xinshan Village relied on his aunt to make a fortune. It was obvious that he could live a good life by following his aunt, but he went to burn Xu Siyu's property. This not only hurt his relatives, but also offended the people in the entire Xinshan Village.

Many of them also hope that the Xu family will open up new jobs so that they can make money.

Xu Chengyuan saw that Li Erlaizi, whose clothes usually couldn't even cover his buttocks, was now dressed up like a decent man. He listened to him say that he had changed his name to Li Lai and was working under Cheng Jie and Cheng Lin to transport coal to Sanxi Township, earning eighty cents a month; Siyu's aunt arranged for him to patrol the village and gave him two dou of fine rice a month; and he also made money from raising ducks. He understood how comfortable his family's life was now.

After listening to him say that his sick grandmother felt much better, she said she wanted to find a wife for him.

It's said that this life is much better than being a scoundrel...

Xu Chengyuan was actually a little envious.

Xu Chengyuan, who had made a lot of money, certainly did not envy those who only earned eighty cents a month. He just felt that the people in Xinshan Village seemed to live a particularly hopeful life.

Even those who had been disliked by the villagers before were now living openly.

Of course, not everyone in Xinshan Village lived well. Li Erlaizi received special care from Xu Siyu. After taking care of his own family members in the Xu family workshop, the second basic criterion for selecting and employing people was whether they were widows, widowers, orphans, or lonely and had never caused trouble for the Xu family.

Xu Chengyuan felt that he should admit his mistake so that his son Hu Zi could live a normal life.

When people are young, they are very stubborn.

Without enough knowledge and experience, all my knowledge comes from the words and deeds of those around me.

Since he was born, his mother told him that most of the Xu family's wealth would belong to him in the future. He didn't have to do anything, just grow up well.

So, there is nothing important in his life except eating and sleeping.

When he was three years old, he had a little aunt.

He did not feel that as the eldest grandson of the Xu family, he received any preferential treatment at home. Instead, this aunt received the care of the whole family.

When times were hard, she would worry about her aunt's food and drink; when times were better, grandma still wouldn't let everyone live a good life, but would save the money and buy clothes, flowers, noodles and candies for her aunt.

The several boys in the Xu family seemed to be adopted. In addition to being required to work, they also had to follow the little aunt at all times to protect her from being bullied.
