After the imperial examinations, I grew up by farming

Chapter 38
The morning light is dim.

The Xu family sat around and ate breakfast happily. No one remembered that today was the day when Xu Houtian asked to be killed, until the doorman hurried into the courtyard to report.

"Old Madam, all lords, madams, young masters, and young ladies, there are a lot of people in sackcloth and mourning at the door, and they want to see the Seventh Young Master by name."

"May I ask who it is, and what's the matter with Brother Xunyu?" The third master put down his chopsticks.

"Just say that he is the elder of the Seventh Young Master, and you are not allowed to make small inquiries." Men Ding replied.

"Crack!" The second master slammed his chopsticks on the dining table, "Brother Yu doesn't care about the bastards in Xinghua Village. Second uncle will teach them a lesson."

While speaking, the second master had already got up and left his seat, and began to greet the fuck guy.

"I'll go too!" The second and third wives also stood up, especially the third wives, with brows erect, wishing they didn't have a butcher's knife at hand.

"Add me." Fifth Miss Xu Linpeng put down the spoon and stroked his sleeves.

"There's me, there's me." The eighth brother Xu Linfu jumped off the chair, patted his small chest, raised his chin and said to Ning Yu: "Seventh brother, don't be afraid, little eight will protect you."

"Brother Qi, don't be afraid, Xiao Jiu is also learning kung fu." Xu Linrong, Lao Jiu, Lao Ba's ten thousand-year follower, jumped off the chair.

Ning Yu nodded at Lao Ba Lao Jiu with half a spoon in his mouth to show encouragement, and then turned to look at the old lady.

She had already guessed the identity of the visitor, his seniority was too high to make a move, didn't she see that the old man, Uncle Jing, was still sitting still, probably like her, knowing that the visitor was not something he could casually criticize and scold, so he simply did not move.

Look, some restless family members are about to be ordered.

Sure enough, as soon as the second master stepped out of the door with one foot, the old lady swallowed the rice cake in her mouth, sank into her dantian, and said slowly: "Sit down."

The sound was like a bell, and it carried a powerful coercion that could not be refuted.

"Mother!" The second master stretched out his hand to grab the wooden stick handed over by the servant, the stork bone was still bruised and became angry again, "They bully people too much!"

"Why, you still want to do something to your grandmother? Come back and sit down, and we'll talk about it when we're full."

The grandmother mentioned by the old lady is over ninety years old, and the famous old man with a long life in Nanli County is the real grandmother of the three masters, that is, the great-grandmother of Ning Yu and others. Dare to make mistakes.

"Mother..." The second master reluctantly returned to the dinner table.

The others who were about to move also sat down obediently.

……

The Xu family in Xinghua Village, the patriarch Xu Sheng, the clan elders Xu Qi and Xu Qin.

Three old men over seventy, guarding an even older woman, stopped outside the vermilion gate.

Behind them, there are more than a dozen "thick" generation Xu family men, the elder is over 60 years old, and the youngest is in his early thirties.

At the end of the list were dozens of women and children.

The women and children were wrapped in plain clothes, the women wore plain white silk flowers on their heads, and the men wore long white handkerchiefs. They all looked sad and sad, and stood in a row with their hands hanging by their sides, more than the men who knelt and blocked people yesterday.

Facing the majestic and majestic embroidered households of Zhumen, many people at the scene were timid and envious at the same time.

There are also those who are secretly jealous and curse the people inside the gate for bad luck.

Under the expectation of Xinghua Village and his party, Mending opened the door to the widest.

A dark brown crutch sticks out of the threshold first, and the hale and hearty old lady Lin stepped out, followed by the servants and guards.

But none of the descendants surnamed Xu came out.

After the old lady came out, her eyes fell directly on the old woman in the front with a dark blue turban.

"I don't know what the old lady Xu is doing when she comes to the door in person?"

The old lady looked at her former mother-in-law, and the hatred buried deep in her heart surged out. It was this woman and her two sons who forced them to nowhere...

The old woman curled up on the bamboo woven chair, her body shriveled like a six-year-old child, holding an ancestor tablet in her arms, her eyes were dull, she didn't know if she was pretending not to hear it, or she couldn't hear it at all, in short, she didn't give a single star feedback.

The ancestral tablet is none other than the grandfather of the three masters, that is, Xu Shiba, the late husband of the old lady.

Xu Sheng swallowed, and replied on behalf of the old woman:
"The third daughter-in-law, my mother couldn't hear you six years ago. We are here today... for the two unworthy descendants of the second family who committed such wrong things. They deserve to be chopped off with one knife, but after all, blood is thicker than water. Today Both parents are here, third daughter-in-law, look..."

"Shut your mouth!" Before Xu Sheng finished speaking, the old lady raised her crutch and paused heavily.

"Don't spit shit on my old lady! I'm pissed! Your Xu family in Xinghua Village has nothing to do with my Lin family."

"I just want to ask you, my Lin family and your Xu family in Xinghua Village do not interfere with each other. Today, you are all dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, looking like dead fathers and mothers, blocking the door of my Lin family and cursing my Lin family. Children and grandchildren, what is the intention?"

"Do you really think that I, Mrs. Lin, was still 30 years ago, and I let you rub me round and flat?"

Thinking of the nasty things that this group of people did back then, the old lady suddenly felt resentful, pointing at Xu Sheng, Xu Qi and others.

"The third daughter-in-law, my parents are here, you yell at me, if the third is still alive, I will let him slap you twice." Being pointed at his nose and scolded, Xu Qi suddenly became angry.

"I was not the daughter-in-law of your Xu family in Xinghua Village 34 years ago!" the old lady said indifferently.

That's why she doesn't let her children and grandchildren come out. After all, they have the blood of the Xu family on them. It is a big mistake to be disobedient and unfilial, but she is different. Her surname is not Xu, and she is not the daughter-in-law of the Xu family. Just hammer.

"You—" Xu Qi was in a hurry, thinking of his son who was about to be beheaded at noon, he managed to suppress his anger.

"Quickly ask Xu Ningyu to come out, kneel down and apologize to the elders, and swear to save the lives of the boss and Brother Yong. As a descendant of the Xu family, he turned his elbow outward and wanted to kill his cousin. It is simply unworthy." For people."

Hearing this, the old lady suddenly felt unable to suppress the gushing anger, pointed at Xu Qi's nose with a crutch, and cursed:

"Xu, do you have feces in your ears, or do you have pigweed growing in your brain? My mother tells you that although the door plaque says 'Xu', the people in this house are surnamed 'Lin', who would dare to touch me? Lin Shengnan's descendants, hmph, my mother told him to cut off his sons and grandchildren!"

"Lin's—"

Xu Qi couldn't help but took half a step forward, but Xu Sheng stretched out his hand to grab him.

Xu Sheng shook his head slightly at Xu Qi, telling him to be calm, then turned to Mrs. Lin, and said with an apologetic smile:
"Third daughter-in-law, you have misunderstood. We are here today not to offend anyone, but to have a few words with brother Yu. We sit together as a family and discuss it. After all, Houtian is his cousin. Brother Yong is also his cousin."

Xu Sheng carefully observed the expression of the old lady Lin, and saw that she was restrained, so he continued:
"Houtian and his son made a mistake. They should be punished and beaten. It's not that Brother Yu let them go. It's just whether they can leave them a way out for the sake of blood relationship, no matter how much the girl of the Li family wants. , we are all willing to pay.”

"I did something wrong 30 years ago. These years, my conscience has been troubled, and I have repented day and night. Today, I will never see any of Xu's descendants suffer. Third daughter-in-law, you are a kind person, and you must be able to understand this. Feeling."

The last sentence is the point!
It doesn't matter whether Xu Houtian and Xu Ningyong are two idiots, the key is to make the third daughter-in-law look at him with admiration.

The old lady quietly watched Xu Sheng perform.

The case of Lijiacun, the fifth granddaughter and the second eldest couple told her, it was really heartwarming.

The reason why she listened to their nonsense for a long time was just to see what the hypocrite Xu Sheng wanted to do. From her understanding, Xu Sheng would never beg for someone else's children and grandchildren.

Heh, I didn't expect that this bastard actually came up with such an idea.

wishful thinking!

"Who is your family? Don't talk nonsense, you want to go to the Yamen for justice. My mother asked, are you going to leave by yourself, or is my mother sending you away?"

This Lin family really doesn't like oil and salt.

Xu Sheng cursed secretly.

Here they are Xu Ningyu's elders, but when they go to the Yamen, they are just civilians in civilian clothes. Isn't it a reason for Xu Ningyu to arrest them if they go to block the county government office?

Only fools go.

Besides, the intercession is just incidental, and the real goal is not here.

"The third daughter-in-law..."

"Come here, this group of people came to pick things up, robbed my house, bullied my orphans and widowed mothers, beat my mother, and sent them to officials after the beating."

Xu Sheng was patient and wanted to establish the image of the fraternal and benevolent old elders and patriarchs again, but after hearing the order from the third daughter-in-law, he saw a group of strong men with sticks coming in like a tide, and one of them aimed at his thigh, Take a stick.

"Oh, my God!" Xu Sheng's thigh went numb and he fell to the ground with a bang.

This Mrs. Lin is crazy, his parents dared to beat someone here, it was a miscalculation, my God, it hurts to death, he is also an old bone.

After Xu Sheng fell to the ground, more than 30 servants just raised their sticks and stood in front of the old lady, without attacking others.

At this time, other Xu family members who went out from the back door called many acquaintances from Nanli County.

The neighbors in the neighborhood didn't hear anything else, only heard the old lady yelling about house robbery.

The Xu family has a good reputation in Nanli County, and many people know about the grievances with Xinghua Village. The neighbors looked at the comparison of the number of people, and immediately sided with the Xu family, clamoring to send these people to the government.

Give him a beating first, and then send him to the officer.

You can't let the villain succeed.

"Sister-in-law three, our roommate is just here to make up the numbers. We still have something to do at home, so let's go first." Xu Qin, who had been silent all this time, saw that the situation was wrong, and winked at his children and grandchildren.

Xu Qin's sons snatched the chair that Mrs. Xu was sitting on, carried the elderly, led the weak women and children, and ran first with oil on the soles of their feet.

Seeing Xu Qin run away, Xu Sheng and Xu Qi, who are smart under the name of Xu Qi, also ran away quickly.

In the end, more than a dozen dead-headed ones, both male and female, were left behind. After being beaten, they were sent to the county government office, where they were reunited with their relatives.

It is worth mentioning that the patriarch Xu Sheng asked his sons to carry him away in the name of healing, but in fact he was running away.

So the ones who really suffered were almost all of Xu Qiyifang, the stupid goose.
