As soon as Xu Lingyuan got off the carriage, he saw people busy in and out of the shop, and there were a few new faces, but he didn't see the figure of the fourth uncle and his wife, presumably they were in the backyard or out.So he didn't think much about it, so he raised his foot and walked into the store.

"Master Xu, you're here. That's great. Hurry up to the backyard. Auntie has good news for you!" Han Sheng, who had just stepped into the door and noticed him, said in surprise, but there were still customers to say hello to. , so I didn't have the time to tell him in detail.

Seeing that she was busy, Xu Lingyuan couldn't ask more questions, so he went to the backyard with questions.When I went in, I found that not only the front, but also newcomers were added to the backyard.

"Who are you? How did you come here?" A girl younger than Han Sheng stopped him and asked suspiciously.

"I'm here to see..."

"Is Ling Yuan here? Come in, why did it take you so long to come and see me? I'm planning to ask your fourth uncle to pick you up." Perhaps because she recognized his voice, the fourth aunt called him from the room .

"Fourth aunt, you are..." Xu Lingyuan said suspiciously.It was almost noon, and she was still lying on the bed. If he hadn't thought of Han Sheng, he would have thought she was sick.

"Cough, I'm fine. Come and sit down." The fourth aunt was obviously in a good mood, but she seemed a little embarrassed when he asked him this. At this moment, she motioned him to come closer, while thinking about how to say, "In the spring of next year, our family will There will be one more person."

"No wonder Han Sheng said there is good news. I really want to congratulate fourth uncle and fourth aunt." After understanding, Xu Lingyuan immediately said happily.

"I've been thinking of telling you for a long time, but the store is busy. Ever since your fourth uncle found out, he stopped letting me do things and hired a lot of people. I don't feel comfortable when I'm free, so I just think about you I can talk." The fourth aunt said with a smile on her face, she was still in good spirits.

"Fourth uncle is also for your own good." Although fourth aunt said that, he really didn't know what to talk about. After comforting her, he searched hard in his mind, and finally found something that he thought was suitable. Words: "If you feel bored, you can also ask fourth uncle to accompany you for a walk. It may not be good to stay in the house all day. It is very important to be in a good mood, but you really can't worry too much."

"You child, you are becoming more and more careful. If he can have half of yours, I will be thankful." Through the quilt, the fourth aunt put her hand on her abdomen and said expectantly.

"It will definitely be better than me." Xu Lingyuan said very sincerely.No matter in the previous life or now, he thinks he is very ordinary.

"Well, I used to look forward to it every day and worry every night. I didn't suffer because of this, but now I really have it. On the contrary, I look away. Whether it is a man or a woman, we don't ask him to be rich and powerful, as long as he is upright Just be safe and sound." Although the fourth aunt's words were plain, they were full of expectations.

"With you and fourth uncle leading by example, we will definitely." Xu Lingyuan said without doubt.

"That's not sure. You haven't seen your fourth uncle's joy. I'm really afraid of being spoiled by him. If it's really like the ones in your uncle's family, I'd rather not have it." He laughed with certainty, then seemed to think of something, and said in a slightly serious tone.

"With you here, you don't have to worry." Xu Lingyuan responded with a smile, ignoring some of the content of her words.

"If it wasn't for that incident, I wouldn't dare to guarantee it, but thanks to it reminding me." The fourth aunt said modestly, "You probably don't know about that incident."

"What happened to them again?" Xu Lingyuan asked cooperatively when she saw her mentioning it deliberately.For those people, as long as they don't affect him, he doesn't want to pay attention.

"A few days ago, your father specially ordered a jade pendant, saying that it was to be used as a gift, but when your father went to pick it up, the jade pendant disappeared. The jade pendant was originally valuable , let alone waiting to use it in a hurry, your father was a little angry at that time, and asked your uncle to give him an explanation, but he complained that your father didn't trust him, and casually said that he was raped by a clerk in the shop. It was stolen, and if there is no proof, I have to drag him to report to the police." The fourth aunt said here, just when someone brought tea in, she stopped for a while.

"But what does this have to do with his children?" For them, Xu Lingyuan has long since despaired. It's not that they haven't done anything more absurd than this. They spread rumors behind their backs at the beginning, but they can still come to seek justice afterwards , until now he didn't know what they were thinking, but this time even the child was involved?

"Let me tell you slowly." The fourth aunt put down the teacup and continued, "Your father didn't want to tangle with him, so he sent the guy to another store, thinking he was out of luck. This was the way it was supposed to go, But the blame is that that kid from Pengyuan was too ostentatious, he was walking around wearing that jade pendant, and happened to be seen by that guy, and he was wronged for no reason, and he was grateful for your father's generosity, so he compared this matter with Your father said it." At this point, the fourth aunt couldn't help but sneered, probably thinking that the uncle and the others were self-inflicted, and then asked Xu Lingyuan quite interestingly: "Guess what will happen next?" ?”

Xu Lingyuan smiled knowingly, but did not speak.

"It's just that I think I know them better, and I didn't expect them to be so rascal." The fourth aunt didn't really want him to guess, "Your father went to question your uncle in a fit of anger, but just happened to meet him Pengyuan wearing the jade pendant, but he still said that he specially made it for the child to wear and play with. But the child did not accept his favor, and admitted that he took it in the store by himself, and said that their brothers I usually take it casually, but when your uncle stopped him, he threw the jade pendant on the ground angrily." At this point, the fourth aunt didn't know if she was a little out of energy, or she was feeling sorry for the jade pendant, so she paused again. down.

"Are you tired? Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to leave. Let's talk later." Xu Lingyuan said worriedly.

"It's okay, it's just that I haven't said so much for a while, I really should listen to you, go out more." The fourth aunt said nonchalantly, "Your aunt also came out when the trouble came here, seeing that you can't deny it, He wanted to teach Pengyuan a lesson while he was with your father, but he unexpectedly annoyed your uncle, saying that the elder brother is like a father, and the elder sister-in-law is the mother. He even threatened that he has been in business for your father for so many years, let alone a jade pendant, even if he smashed the entire store, your father should not have any complaints, not for the sake of brothers, who would? So much effort."

"It's really embarrassing for them." Hearing this, Xu Lingyuan finally couldn't help interjecting.

"In the end, your father didn't pursue it too much, he just let them leave. I heard that now he opened a jade shop by himself in the west of the city. It's just that everyone knows about the trouble, and I don't know how their business is going. " Speaking of this, the fourth aunt slightly sighed: "Your father is really dragged down by our relatives, but anyone who is more ruthless will not be hurt like this."

For these, Xu Lingyuan is not easy to comment, just listen carefully.

"The most irritating thing is that they are obviously responsible for all of this, but they still dare to go around and say that your family is not good. A customer from a jade shop came over a few days ago and accidentally said that he went around wooing them and discrediting your family. He even talked about you, those words are vicious, he is really not afraid of being punished by God, if I am not inconvenient, I would like to scold them." The fourth aunt became angry as she spoke.

"What's the point of getting angry with them? It's not worth it if you get angry." Seeing that she was angry, Xu Lingyuan persuaded her.

"Fortunately, they won't believe it. I heard that it's all thanks to your mother. She tried her best to protect you in front of those people's families. You should keep these in mind. I still had some doubts about her. , From this point of view, I am overthinking it." The fourth aunt said earnestly.

"En." Although Xu Lingyuan replied, he felt that this matter was even more strange than that of his uncle. Could it be that his previous guesses were all wrong?Or is she just putting on a show in front of people?

"It's much easier after I said it." The fourth aunt said with relief, "After listening to me for a long time, you are also a little annoyed? Let's go to the front. I haven’t been here before, I like it very much.”

Xu Lingyuan was also afraid that she would be tired, so he obediently went out.As for the things to be done, seeing that they were so busy and they might not be able to help, I went back after lunch.

"Why are you back? Didn't you say you were going to stay for a few days?" A Qi asked happily when he saw him sitting in the yard as soon as he entered the door in the evening.

"Well, it's a bad start." Xu Lingyuan said pretending to be sad while smashing the walnuts he brought back.

"Can't they help?" A Qi asked with concern.

"They are all busy and can't take care of me, an idler." Xu Lingyuan then said sadly.

"Then what should we do?" A Qi not only worried for him, but also consciously took over the work in his hand.

"Let's talk about it after a while. It just so happens that I can think about it carefully." Xu Lingyuan couldn't bear to pretend anymore, and said with a smile.

"Then will you come back to open the school in the future?" A Qi suddenly asked in a deep voice.

"Of course I have to open it. Am I such an irresponsible person?" Xu Lingyuan said with certainty. Allow me, maybe I'll keep driving."

"Condition?" A Qi was even more difficult to understand.

"I might become a businessman full of money in the future. Have you ever heard of hiring a businessman as a husband?" Xu Lingyuan said helplessly.

Although he disapproved of these rules, they really existed.If he just inherited the Xu family's family business, and only guarded those lives, he would still be the young master of the landlord's family, and he would be a scholar of the scholar, but if he rejected everything from the Xu family and went to start a business alone, then there would be no Such a good deal.Although he only found out not long ago that there is no hard and fast rule prohibiting scholars from doing business, it's just the arrogance of scholars who cause trouble, but once they start business, their social status will be a little lower, and some ridicule and accusations are inevitable.

"If you can trust me, you can say that I did it, and I don't care about those things." A Qi thought for a while and discussed with him.

"It's enough to have your words. I can't bear to let you take the blame for me. I'll think about the solution later." Xu Lingyuan suppressed the emotion in his heart and said to him with a smile.In fact, it's not that he hasn't thought about finding someone to do it on his behalf, just like the cooperation with the fourth uncle and the Zhao family, it's just that everything has not been figured out yet, but no matter what, he will not let A Qi do it.

"Will there be a solution?" A Qi was still a little worried.

"Well, I will think about it seriously." He promised, and then couldn't help teasing him: "Why, do you despise me?"

"No, I never will." A Qi paused, looked up at him, and firmly assured.

"Oh, let's not talk about that. The school will start again soon, and I will be busy growing vegetables. I, an idler, have not been doing it for a long time." He cheered up, seeing that it was getting dark, he stood up and packed his things. : "Wash and sleep first."

"Growing vegetables?" A Qi was stunned for a moment, but then he understood, "Do you mean to use the greenhouse that was built?"

"Yeah." Xu Lingyuan responded appreciatively, "You go and wash it first, I'll clean up these, every time the fourth uncle gives so much, take it easy."

"Can I take some back?" A Qi suddenly asked.

"Ah, of course, you can take it yourself." It was a very ordinary sentence, but he was a little at a loss.

In the past, when Ah Qi brought things back to A Jiang and the others, not only could they not make them feel grateful, but they were suspected that he couldn't eat any more, so he took them back to pity them. If they didn't cry, A Qi's mother would directly accuse him of having bad intentions and provoking them on purpose.After realizing that his good intentions were not rewarded, A Qi never brought anything home again.

So now he took the initiative to take it back. Thinking of this, Xu Lingyuan's heart sank. Is this going to bring the girl he has a crush on?

"You..." subconsciously opened the mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to ask.

"Huh?" Aqi looked at him.

"Bring more." Xu Lingyuan felt that he was becoming abnormal again, and he didn't understand why he said this at all.

"Yeah." Ah Qi agreed.

Is this really the A Qi he knew?Could it be that she was brainwashed by that girl?In the past, he was embarrassed to ask him to eat more, but now he can take it for granted if he is asked to eat more, without even a word of thanks.

Lying on the bed, Xu Lingyuan tossed and thought, his mind, which was confused by A Qi's concern these days, suddenly became clear again. Sure enough, it is still different from before, right?

Due to falling asleep late, when he got up the next day, A Qi had already gone back, and he immediately went to see the half bag of walnuts, and it turned out that more than half of it was missing, that girl can eat so much!He thought maliciously, but completely ignored that he still had half of the bag, and they just shared half of it with him.
