Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 399 Brothers Narrative
Guan Wen went to buy some wine, then went to the delicatessen shop to cut some meat, and walked to Guan Xin's house.

Along the way, Li Xin was a little thoughtful, A-mei held her hand, and seeing that she didn't say much, she just seemed to be thinking about something, so she couldn't help asking: "Sister-in-law, what are you thinking?"

Li Xin smiled bitterly, thinking in her heart that such troublesome things should be Amei's own business, but Amei didn't see through that Second Sister Qiao had ulterior motives.According to A-mei's thinking and personality, she probably didn't feel threatened at all when she saw that the second sister Qiao was married with her hair pulled back.

Li Xin sighed, it's not easy to talk to her about these things on the street.An unmarried girl who has not experienced much in the world, how does she know those twists and turns, and she still feels uneasy if she tells her that she is not sure.

Smiling at A-Mei, Li Xin said: "I was thinking, when we take Aunt Wei to live with us, I have to ask A-Mei to take care of Aunt Wei."

"No matter what my sister-in-law said, it is right to take care of Mrs. Wei..."

A-mei lowered her head slightly, her face flushed.Thinking of the sight he met with Shusheng Wei when he was at Wei's house, the roots of his ears also quietly burned.

Li Xin covered her lips and said with a smile: "You are right, Aunt Wei is your future mother-in-law, so of course it is right to take care of her."

"Sister-in-law..." A-mei shook Li Xin's arm resolutely.

When he arrived at Guan Xin's house, the door was open, and there was a voice inside. Guan Wen heard Guan Quan's voice approaching, and turned to look sideways, but saw that it was Guan Quan who was escorting a group of people out. Keep reaching out and bowing.

Guan Wen got out of the way, and waited for Guan Quan to send the man back before calling out: "Fourth brother."

"Big brother!"

Guan Quan came forward happily, put his arm around Guan Wen's shoulder and said, "Let's go, go in!"

"Who were those people just now?" Guan Wen asked.

"Going together." Guan Quan replied: "Together with me, you are also a middleman." Guan Quan smiled: "Brother was just on the side, and I didn't have the nerve to greet you."

"No problem."

Guan Quan brought Guan Wen and others in, and asked Hu Yueying to boil water to wash his elder brother and sister-in-law's face. When he threw it on Amei, he looked him up and down, and said, "Have Amei dressed up today? I used to look at my head." I didn’t wear anything last night, but today I’m wearing hairpins and beads.”

A-mei called fourth brother embarrassingly, and said, "Brother and sister-in-law bought it for me..."

Hu Yueying happened to come over with a basin of hot water, and when she heard Amei's words, she involuntarily glanced at Amei's head.

Li Xin said with a smile: "Young girls, it's not too much to dress up."

Hu Yueying said on the side: "Sister-in-law is right, it is good to dress up while you are young." As she spoke, she looked at the silver hairpin on Amei's hair, but she reached out and touched her ears.

Li Xin still remembered that when he bought Guan Quan's dowry gift for Hu's family, he specially picked a pair of earrings for Hu Yueying, but she never wore them afterwards.The most desirable thing about Hu Yueying's whole face is her ears, which are white and round, and if she wears earrings, she must be beautiful.But now her ears are bald, no, let alone the ears, there are no extra ornaments in other places.

Hu Yueying greeted Li Xin and said, "Sister-in-law, wash your face and refresh yourself."

Li Xin withdrew his thoughts, smiled at Hu Yueying, and said, "Okay."

Guan Wen and Guan Quan sat in the room, and the small room suddenly seemed a bit cramped with five people crowded.Li Xin sat in the corner and listened to the two brothers talking, and Hu Yueying also sat next to Li Xin. There was no other high stool, so Amei found a small bench to make do with.

Guan Wen first asked Guan Quan how life was in the town, and Guan Quan also reported the good news but not the bad, and only said good things to Guan Wen, so that Guan Wen should not worry.Guan Wen took a sip of tea and said: "I know your temperament, you only mention the good things, and you don't want to worry about the bad things. But fourth brother, I am your eldest brother, if you really have something wrong If it is not smooth or difficult, try to help me out. Regardless of the other side, I have lived in this town for two or three years, and Chao Tai, the current chief escort of the Weiwu Escort Bureau, is also my brother-in-law. In the past two years Although there are not many contacts, but the relationship is still there, and there is no problem in entrusting them to take care of you."

"Brother, I know." Guan Quan said with a smile: "But since I plan to make my own way, at this early stage, I don't want to trouble your brothers too much. Maybe I will find them when the business is on the right track in the future. Helping out or something, but now that I have the perseverance to fight on my own, it’s better to rely on my own efforts. Love is something that can’t be spent. In the end, it’s also your favor, big brother. If I can’t take advantage of it, I don’t want to Take advantage of this."

Guan Wen immediately wanted to persuade him, but Guan Quan stopped him and said, "Brother, I also have friends in the town, from all over the world, friends have to learn how to make friends by themselves. If I really have no choice, don't worry, brother, I will definitely not hide it from you , if I can find help from your buddies, big brother, I won't suffer for my face."

Li Xin pulled Guan Wen and said, "Your fourth brother is ambitious, you should be happy for him."

Guan Quan said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is right. I feel that I have nothing to look forward to when I live in the village. It's fine to go to the fields and farm. Every year, I look forward to the little grain in autumn. I pay the grain tax and the rest There are not many. Facing the loess and back to the sky, it is tiring to do this job for many years. I just want to come to the town to make a fortune. Even if I don’t make a name for myself in the future, this wish is nothing. You think so? Brother?"

Guan Wen just nodded heavily.

Guan Quan smiled, picked his head but asked carefully: "By the way, big brother, I just left without making a sound. Dad, didn't you bother me?"

Guan Wen paused for a moment, took another sip of water and said, "It's not really looking for trouble."

"Big Brother beat Sixth Brother up..." A-Mei whispered from the side.

Guan Quan immediately looked at Guan Wen, a little disbelieving, "Brother, did you beat the sixth brother?"

Guan Wen responded with a deep voice: "Yes."

"Why... why?"

Guan Wen didn't want to mention this reason, and Li Xin didn't want to mention it either—the younger brother-in-law rummaged through grandpa's house, and justly said that his sister-in-law hid grandpa's money.It is said that the younger brother-in-law speaks ill of the elder sister-in-law behind his back, but turns upside down in front of his elder brother and denies everything. In the end, he was stabbed by two little boys. How can such a thing sound good?

In the end, Guan Wen mentioned the reason lightly, and said: "He doesn't know where he is in his studies, and he should have been taught a lesson long ago."

"Brother, you should have beaten him a long time ago." Guan Quan only felt happy in his heart: "If you want me to say, Dad doesn't spend so much money. I think about it afterwards, digging my money in my room, this kind of idea It’s true that only that kid Guan Zhicheng could figure it out. His reading is wrong, and his brain is also wrong, thinking about heresy things.”

Guan Wen let out a low sigh, feeling a little depressed.

Guan Quandao: "Brother is beating him so much that he can't get up on the bed now, dad didn't bother you?"

"I did. She asked me for money." Guan Wen said, "But I was blocked by your sister-in-law, and he didn't come to me afterwards, so I didn't bother to bother him."

Guan Quan was slightly surprised: "He didn't achieve his goal and he went back?"

"Perhaps it's all right?" Guan Wen rubbed his temples: "I don't listen to him now, and your sister-in-law doesn't let you in, and my sixth brother can't think about it when he's lying on the bed, except to make Dad do things. Son, other things should not be taken care of for the time being."

Guan Quan was silent for a while, and asked: "Then, will he still go to the state capital to take the exam for Na Laoshizi Juren?"

"Should go." Guan Wen sighed: "Father just wait for him to honor his ancestors."

"Glorious ancestors? I think it's more like embarrassing ancestors."

Guan Quan sighed deeply, and said: "Brother, you have to be prepared. When Guan Zhicheng is done, you may be asked for money. Seeing that you and sister-in-law are living a good life now, brother, he is definitely jealous. .”

Guan Wen gave a noncommittal "hmm", and didn't know if he listened.

But he said to Guan Quan: "There is one more thing I want to mention to you. When I was talking with your second brother, I asked if Dad really couldn't raise money, would he sell the fields or the house?"

Guan Quan didn't respond much to this: "It's up to him whether to sell it or not. The father and son live in that house, and I wouldn't like to live with them when I go back to the village. It's more comfortable to live with Yueying's mother's house than with them. As for the field, I don’t want to farm it anyway, so it’s fine if I sell it, and if my escape route is cut off, I might work harder in this town.”

While talking, Guan Quan smiled and said: "However, if I am in a bad mood and want to cause trouble for them, I can go over and tell them that if I sell the land, I have to get a share of the money, and how can I divide it into three shares?" There has to be a share for me. I don’t need the house, and I don’t think their crappy house is worth much, but the land is still worth a little money, and it doesn’t matter what they say if they don’t let me separate.”

Li Xin suddenly laughed out loud.

Guan Quan looked at Li Xin and said, "Sister-in-law, are you laughing at me?"

"No..." Li Xin covered her lips, "I didn't expect fourth brother to be such a generous master."

Guan Quan said with a smile: "This is called dealing with others in the same way. Didn't Guan Xiaoliu often recite some sentences when he was studying? I also use what I learn now. As for them, it is their own fault."

Li Xin shook his head with a smile, Guan Wen sighed, and said, "Don't even think about embarrassing them, their lives are messed up right now."

Guan Quan curled his lips: "Brother, this is softening his heart."

"I'm not soft-hearted, but I just feel that it's not easy to make things worse." Guan Wen paused and said, "No matter how you say it, blood relationship cannot be denied."

Guan Quan was silent and said: "Brother, what you said is reasonable, but they don't listen to persuasion. No matter how much blood and family ties are, they will be wiped out in the future. Dad and Guan Xiaoliu stole my money alone. It's impossible for me to forgive them for a year and a half, anyway."

Guan Wen let out a sigh of relief, but still nodded in agreement: "That matter is indeed too much. If it's not for my family, or to sue the yamen, my father and sixth brother will definitely be in prison. "
