I am Fugui

Chapter 4 Made Dragon Two?

Laishun's eyes were red with grievance, and he lowered his head, "But what should I do without the young master."

Changgen opened his mouth, sighed, and remained silent.

If he had a choice, he didn't want to leave the Xu family either.

Compared with Laishun, he stayed in the Xu family for a longer time. He has been in the Xu family for a lifetime, and he has long regarded himself as a member of the Xu family.

Because of this, after the Xu family lost all their property, other hired workers left one after another.

But after careful consideration, he finally decided to wait for the young master to recover before leaving the Xu family.

The reason is very simple, just to not drag the Xu family down. After all, he is old and frail and can no longer work. It is a burden to stay here.

As for Laishun, although he is young and strong, he also eats a lot. One meal is enough for an ordinary big man to eat twice.

In the previous Xu family, this amount of food was nothing at all, but now that the Xu family is down and down, coming and going has become a huge burden.

When they were looking for firewood in the mountains, Chang Gen and Lai Shun had instructed them to leave and go to the city to seek a living after the young master got well.

If I miss Xu's family in the future, I will go back to the village to have a look.

"Master, I don't want to leave. Don't worry, I can work. At worst, I'll just eat less in the future." Laishun lowered his head, with a hint of pleading in his tone.

A smile appeared on the corner of Xu Fugui's mouth, his eyes were extremely bright, his lips twitched, and he said forcefully, "Who said I want to drive you away? Even if you want to leave, I have to tie you with a rope!"

"Isn't it just two meals? Although the young master has lost his family property, he can still support you all!"

"Don't go! Lai Shun, Uncle Gen, none of you can go!"

To live a new life, Xu Fugui didn't want to live so uselessly. He didn't want to lose any of these relatives.

The eye sockets of Changgen and Laishun were instantly rosy, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

"Laishun, Uncle Gen, drink some water." Jiazhen came out at some point, holding two stoneware bowls filled with boiled water.

"Young Mistress, you rest, we can do it ourselves." The two took it in fear.

Jiazhen pursed her lips slightly, her tone was as gentle as a spring breeze, "Don't call me young mistress."

The two shook their heads and did not speak.

The atmosphere was dull for a while, Xu Fugui smiled, "Laishun, help me carry the firewood into the house."

Laishun glanced at the firewood on the ground, reached out and snatched the ax in his hand, "Master, you go and rest, how can you do these rough jobs."

Chang Gen drank the boiled water in the pottery bowl, then bent over, held the firewood in his arms, and walked towards the house step by step.

Seeing that Xu's mother was also going to carry firewood, Xu Fugui quickly stopped her and let her rest. He and Changgen carried firewood together.

With so many people and strong strength, all the firewood that was not much was carried into the stove, and only Laishun was left to chop firewood hard.

Nothing to do, walked into the stove, lifted the wooden pot lid and saw a pot of sweet potatoes boiled inside, with an egg in the middle of the sweet potatoes.

This is tonight's meal.

"Fugui, we are not what we used to be. The sweet potatoes are borrowed from the Sun's next door, and the eggs are boiled for you to make you healthy." Jiazhen quickly explained, as if she was afraid that he would dislike him.

Xu Fugui put the lid on the pot, glanced at Jiazhen's big belly, "I'm in good health, I still give you the eggs, you have a big belly, you can't miss the eggs."

Jiazhen stared at him blankly, making him feel uncomfortable, and then smiled like a flower, "Fugui, it's actually good to have no family property. You didn't care about me so much before."

Xu Fugui avoided her gaze, "I used to be such a beast."

Jiazhen glanced at him tenderly, and rubbed her stomach, "As long as our family is healthy, that's enough. If you are poor, you can be poor, and there are ways to live poor."

Xu Fugui knew that she was trying to enlighten him, Jiazhen was always so gentle and considerate, afraid that he would not be able to bear the current blow.

As night fell, Xu Fugui called Shun Shun to stop chopping. It was dark and he couldn't see, so be careful that the ax fell on the back of his feet.

The sky became dark and hempy, and only vague outlines could be seen of the undulating mountain peaks in the distance.

He frowned, turned around and said, "Mother, I'll go to the entrance of the village to have a look, why hasn't Dad come back yet?"

Xu's mother responded, and told him to be careful on the road with a little worry.

Laishun threw down the axe, "Master, I'll go with you."

Xu Fugui kicked him, "I told you not to call me Young Master, call me Brother Gui."

Laishun touched his bald head, giggled twice, followed the young master, and walked towards the entrance of the village.

There are more than 60 households in Xujia Village, scattered along two interspersed dirt paths, with some land interspersed in between.

The whole is neither dense nor scattered, and most of the houses are made of adobe.

Their thatched hut was located in the east of the village, and it took several minutes to walk to the entrance of the village. Along the way, people in Xujia Village asked him questions one after another, with the same respectful tone as always.

They already knew that the Xu family had lost all their property, but to them, the Xu family's ancestors had been the masters of this land for generations, and even if they were down and out now, it was not something poor people like them could compare with.

Xu Fugui responded one by one, with a wry smile on his face, and explained to everyone that he is no longer the young master, and it is good to call him Fugui from now on.

People heard this, but they just shook their heads and said nothing. Xu Fugui was not in a hurry. These things cannot be changed in two or three days. After a long time, the identity of the landlord of the Xu family will naturally fade in their hearts.

At the entrance of the village, a huge house occupies a large area of ​​land.

White walls and black tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, black gates and red plaques, and there are even two stone lions squatting at the gate.

This is the old house of the Xu family, which now belongs to Long Er. A few years later, when Long Er learned that his property was going to be distributed to the villagers, in a fit of rage, he burned the house down with a torch.

It's a pity that a good house just disappeared.

"Master, why don't I go and do Long Er, this house belongs to you, Master." Laishun looked at the house viciously, with a hint of seriousness in his tone.

Xu Fugui patted his bald head, "What a fart, do you want to go to jail, don't you? You are not allowed to use your brains."

Lai Shun was not convinced, "The current government doesn't care about these things, they are busy fighting, so they don't care about whether people die or not."

Laishun sees this very clearly. Not long ago, the Sakura Kingdom surrendered, and the southern troops took over the county, but in fact they didn't care about it at all. After searching, they left in a hurry to prepare for the war.

Even their Xujia Village was ransacked, and every household demanded thirty catties of grain!
If Long Er is done at this time, the government will indeed not pursue it.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Fugui still gave up this idea.

It's not necessary, so what if you become the second dragon, the Xu family's big family property itself is a hot potato.

Regardless of how proud Long Er is now, in a few years, he will be shot because of his identity as a bully landlord.
　Twice a day, at around ten o'clock in the morning
