"What?" Li Zhong, the boss of the Li family, didn't know why.
The old man Li Anming's expression froze, and he looked at the second brother Li Xiao who was suddenly in trouble, the panic flashed across his face, he slowed down his voice, and his tone was almost pleading: "Second brother, it's late at night now, everyone is busy I've been tired all day. Why don't this matter stop here, and the previous things are in the past."
"What's the matter?" The boss, Li Zhong, looked at the well-meaning old man Li Anming, and then at the gloomy-faced second brother, Li Xiao, feeling uneasy.
"Shut up!" the old man Li Anming yelled at him angrily, and when he turned to look at the second brother Li Xiao, his tone softened instantly, "Even if the family can't be harmonious, we can't let outsiders It¡¯s just a joke for no reason, isn¡¯t it? Your father and I are seventy years old this year. It¡¯s not easy to drag the whole family to the present. I just want to live a few years of peace before I die. Second child, you should be pitiful Poor your father, forget about it."
Sitting next to Song Fengchen, the boss of the Chen family couldn't figure out how this was related to the issue of life and death.
The second child, Li Xiao, clenched his hands into fists, his chest rose and fell violently, his eyes fixed on the old man Li Anming, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to his cerebral cortex.
This is his own father!
The Li family members who were present were also puzzled, but they were suppressed by the low pressure of the second brother Li Xiaozhou, and they didn't dare to speak at all.
Seeing that the second brother Li Xiao was unmoved, the old man Li Anming became more and more flustered. He lowered his breath three times, gritted his teeth and said the plan he had made in his heart: "If you really can't swallow this breath in your heart, then you Let's go, let's split up, we don't need you to take care of our old couple in the future, and you don't need to pay for the forty yuan that we promised to give to the village every year to save Sier"
The boss Li Zhong, who already had ghosts in his heart, heard this at the first glance, and immediately realized it like five thunderbolts.
The events that happened during the day were played back in front of his eyes one after another, and he realized that since the accident with the fourth son, the second son, who is the real father, has not been in a hurry all the time. That is to say, he, the uncle, was busy with the old man and panicked.
He shrank his neck and subconsciously looked at his second daughter-in-law, who was as pale as he was.
But before the second brother Li Xiao could speak, the eldest daughter-in-law who didn't know anything couldn't help jumping out: "Dad, what do you mean by that? The fourth son is his second son's son. He doesn't pay, so why don't you pay me?" Do you want us to pay for it? There is also the matter of providing for your two elders. It was agreed at the beginning, his second wife will pay for it, and our eldest wife will contribute. Now that you say it like this, let our eldest wife take full responsibility "
The boss Li Zhong's scalp was numb, and he looked angry, but he lacked confidence: "Shut up, men's affairs, why are you a woman messing around?"
This look fell into the eyes of the eldest daughter-in-law, who thought it was to show her embarrassment. With confidence, she stiffened her neck and refused to let go: "What's the matter, is what I said wrong"
To put it bluntly, it's all about money.
As the old couple grow older, they can usually do some light work, and naturally earn less work points. The little rations distributed by the village every year are barely enough to support themselves.
As for the boss, Li Zhong, he is a good farmer, but he couldn't bear it and gave birth to four mud monkeys. It was the time when the middle-aged and the poor were eating the poor, and life was very tight. Not to mention that his four sons are also getting married one after another. The four bride price alone will make Li Zhong worry about his hair, and his family is relying on the old couple's frequent subsidies to live.
Where did the money of the old couple come from? It's not that the second is filial.
Before Li Xiao retired from the army, he was also an official in the army, big and small, and he was paid the administrative salary of the 23rd level, fifty-three yuan a month, half of which was sent home.
After being discharged from the army due to injury, Li Xiao was assigned to work in a textile factory. He was paid a third-grade worker¡¯s salary of 48 yuan and 50 cents, plus subsidies from the government and the army, as well as private gloomy income. On average, he could get seven dollars a month. About ten yuan. He is a dutiful son, and since there is no family separation, they eat and live with the old couple in the same room and live in the eldest room, so they will honor the old couple with 20 yuan every month.
If it wasn't for this capital, would Li Xiao be able to raise the fourth son tall and strong? When Dafang's family of six lived frugally and budgeted carefully, how could Xiao Sier eat snacks as meals?
The Li family knew very well that without Li Xiao's filial piety, the boss Li Zhong's family would just wait to drink the northwest wind.
Hearing what the eldest daughter-in-law said, the second son Li Xiao's face turned pale, and he sneered: "Sister-in-law, you are right, of course whose son will pay for it¡ª"
"Stop talking!" The old man Chen Anming was exhausted physically and mentally.
The second eldest, Li Xiao, turned a deaf ear and stared straight at the boss, Li Zhong, with a cold tone: "Then boss, tell me, is the fourth brother my seed?"
The room was dead silent.
The eldest daughter-in-law was dumbfounded: "What do you mean? If it's not your seed, who else"
As she was talking, her voice lowered, and she belatedly looked at the elder brother Li Zhong who was trembling all over, and then at the second daughter-in-law who was wide-eyed and pale, and suddenly felt dizzy.
The boss, Li Zhong, trembled at the corners of his mouth, not daring to meet Li Xiao's gaze, "You, when did you find out?"
The second child, Li Xiao, gritted his teeth and said, "If you want others to know you, you have to do nothing yourself. I, Li Xiao, am a complete idiot, and I keep a whole house full of black-hearted white-eyed wolves. My big brother will give me a cuckold."
"Second brother, it's the eldest brother who is sorry for you. The eldest brother didn't do it on purpose, but he was lost for a while The eldest brother knew he was wrong." The eldest brother Li Zhong panicked and squeezed out two tears.
At that time, his wife was just pregnant, and he was in a panic. It happened that the second child returned to the army, leaving the new wife at home as a widow
"I can't wait to peel you alive." Li Xiao took a deep breath and said word by word, "But God is not open, those sweet potatoes were originally prepared for you, but I didn't expect to be eaten by that little bastard."
Although he regretted it afterwards, otherwise he would not have watched Song Fengchen save Zhang Cui and save the little wild species.
The boss Li Zhong choked for a moment, then he understood, he pointed at Li Xiao, trembling with his fingers: "You, you mean, you planned what happened to little Si'er."
The old man Li Anming's eyes were red. He saw his second son Li Xiao deliver the sweet potatoes to Li Zhong's room with his own eyes.
Li Xiao turned around and looked at Li Anming, heartbroken: "And then, my own father forced me to be a coward for the sake of face."
"Second brother, I" The old man Li Anming was short of breath.
Li Xiao said bitterly: "You already knew that the second child and that bitch were ambiguous, but you just pretended not to see it. If it wasn't for the last time at the second uncle's house that you drank too much and said that you leaked it, I, Li Xiao Don¡¯t you have to raise that bastard for the boss for a lifetime, and you just watch me cut off my children and grandchildren, you are so cruel!¡±
The old man Li Anming's face was livid, he rolled his eyes, and fell down directly clutching his heart.
At this time, the eldest daughter-in-law finally came to her senses, she cried and cried: "Li Zhong, you bastard, I have been married to your Li family for sixteen years, and I have lived with you honestly, and my children have all been born!" Four, that's how you treat me"
As she spoke, she didn't know where the strength came from, she picked up the bench in front of her and threw it at Li Zhong.
The scene was chaotic.
Song Fengchen stretched out his hand and grabbed the boss of the Chen family who was about to step forward to help, and sighed, "Don't make trouble, let's go back."
Confused by this series of messy things, the boss of the Chen family nodded confusedly.
When the two returned to Yuexi Village, the sun had already rushed out of the horizon.
Song Fengchen, who had been running around all day, greeted Second Sister-in-Law Chen, and without taking care of washing, climbed into bed and fell asleep.
When I woke up again, the sun was directly on my head.
Song Fengchen cleaned up the hares that were brought back yesterday, served them with fresh bamboo shoots, and made two big bowls of braised rabbit meat.
He thought for a while, put one of the bowls into a bamboo basket and hid it, and took it to Chen's house.
I don't know how many pointers I received along the way.
Song Fengchen was a little puzzled at first, until he met Mrs. Chen's second sister-in-law, who bluntly said that there were some rumors about him in the village recently, so he should not take it to heart.
Only then did Song Fengchen belatedly ask what the rumor was.
"What else is there, maybe someone caught you recently and spread rumors that you stole something." Second sister-in-law Chen took the stewed rabbit meat from Song Fengchen, and stuffed it into the bamboo basket he was carrying. A pair of pork belly and a small bag of barley.
Song Fengchen thought of Accountant Hu almost subconsciously, and then showed an expression that really did. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
