Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 553 Contradictions

The trip back to the village was not delayed, and Li Xin couldn't help but ask Guan Wen when he arrived at the home of Hehua Village, "Didn't the fourth brother run the shop with you? Did he carry the fourth sibling behind his back... You didn't know that at all." See signs of it?"

Guan Wen's expression was very bad. Hearing that Li Xin still asked himself this question, he just replied stiffly: "No."

Li Xin sighed.

The matter still started after Hu Yueying blurted out the words in the morning.

At that time Li Xin was stunned and didn't react for a while, instead, he closed his ears, rushed over when he heard this, and grabbed Hu Yueying, saying that Hu Yueying had ruined his reputation in front of Li Xin.

The couple quarreled in front of Guan Wen and Li Xin. If it wasn't for the fact that the shop had opened and people were passing by on the side of the road, Guan Quan and Hu Yueying would probably continue to quarrel.

Guan Quan scolded Hu Yueying for saying that the wind is the rain, and that if she has some money, she can just hide it by herself, but to actually spread rumors about another girl, and even spoil him in front of her eldest brother and sister-in-law, is simply talking too much.

Hu Yueying scolded Guan Quan for being heartless, she really thought of herself as an onion, and when she had money, she started to have some crooked thoughts, and her guilty conscience didn't allow her to complain to her sister-in-law.

The two men said that the father was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right. For a while, Guan Wen and Li Xin couldn't tell what was true and what was false.

Seeing that they were arguing endlessly and getting more and more shapeless, Guan Wencai suddenly let out a loud shout, his face turned serious, and finally made the two of them stop arguing.

Guan Wen said: "Fix those things between the two of you by yourself. It's not embarrassing to make trouble in front of me and your sister-in-law! How old are you!"

Guan Quan lowered his head but did not speak, and Hu Yueying shrank away nervously.

Originally, Li Xin was thinking that if this happened, he and Guan Wen would have to stay for another two days, and they could only go back after dealing with the affairs of the couple.Unexpectedly, Guan Wen didn't say that he would stay in the shop at all, and let Li Xin take the burden, helped her get on the horse, and led her to the direction of Zhenkou.

Before leaving, Guan Wen said to Guan Quan calmly: "You are also in your twenties, you should be able to tell what you should do and what you should not do. You don't need to teach you again."

One sentence made Guan Quan's face turn blue and white, but he didn't dare to speak.Hu Yueying didn't dare to talk to her.

Guan Wen held the reins of the horse, and when he arrived at Zhenkou, he got on the horse and sat on the horse's back, holding Li Xin in front, and drove the horse on the road without saying a word.

Li Xin knew that he was unhappy, so when he asked him at this time, seeing that he still didn't want to talk, he didn't force him.

Li Xin naturally had his own guesses in his heart.

She felt that what Hu Yueying said was definitely not groundless.

The most intuitive impression she had was what Guan Wen said to Guan Quan before he left.

If Guan Quan really had a clear conscience, Guan Wen probably didn't need to tell him such a warning.

But in the end it was his younger brother's character problem. If it was serious, it would be a family scandal. It is not incomprehensible for Guan Wen to want to cover it up.

After returning home, I thanked Guan Wu and Xinger for helping housekeeping and taking care of the elderly and children during this time. Li Xin went to talk to Xinger about Zhao's family planning Zhao Changhui's wedding. thing.

When Yang'er came back at noon, the whole family gathered for a meal. During the meal, Guan Wen also told about the building of the granary, and planned to discuss it with the craftsmen in the village tomorrow.

Guan Wen seemed to calm down a bit when he was sleeping at night, and he took the initiative to mention Guan Quan and Hu Yueying to Li Xin.

"I have also seen some signs of the fourth brother's matter." Guan Wen said: "Actually, I knew early on that the fourth brother was not very satisfied with this marriage with the Hu family. It's normal to look down on it. But I always told him that since you marry a girl from the Hu family, you have to be nice to her. She will marry you with a yellow flower girl, take care of your food, take care of you, make clothes for you, and greet you well. Where am I sorry for you?"

Li Xin nodded, deeply agreeing.

If Hu Yueying doesn't like Guan Quan either, that's fine, the two of them are not living well, at least they can discuss reconciliation, and then marry separately, which has nothing to do with each other.Although it will have some impact on the two people's reputation, it's better to be a resentful couple for the rest of their lives.

It's just that Guan Quan despises Hu Yueying in this marriage, and Hu Yueying obviously likes Guan Quan.

Guan Wen continued: "In the past, the family was poor, and the fourth younger brother didn't show so much love, and he was pretty good to the fourth younger siblings. Later, when he came to the town, he lived a pretty good life at first, and his relationship was harmonious, and his life was very fulfilling. But gradually Yes, the conflict between the husband and wife is getting deeper and deeper. In addition, the fourth younger brother and sister are working in the workshop of Shen's family now, and they have a fixed monthly payment every month. She has money in her hand, and her waist is straight. Naturally speaking, the fourth brother is not the only one who takes the lead in the family. The fourth brother is not used to the fact that the fourth younger brother meddles in everything and asks about everything. ..."

Guan Wen paused for a moment when he said this, before he sighed and said: "The girl that the fourth sibling said was 'flirtatious' with the fourth brother is a girl whose fiancé died before she got married, and she lived in the small courtyard they rented. It's not too far away, every day when the fourth brother goes out, he will pass by there, and the two of them will get to know each other after coming and going..."

Li Xin couldn't help frowning and said, "Since you know everything, why don't you say a word about the fourth brother? It's been a long time since you said a few words about him to keep him away from other girls, and the fourth brother is getting more and more thoughtful... "

"Why didn't I say that..." Guan Wen just sighed: "I've said it many times, both openly and secretly, and he agreed every time, but in the end he still went his own way."

Li Xin couldn't help but said: "The four siblings were right when they said that he was ambitious. If he didn't have such thoughts in his heart, why would he start a conversation with an unmarried girl?"

On this kind of matter, Li Xin naturally sided with Hu Yueying.

Guan Wen smiled wryly, and said: "Anyway, these things between the two of them have accumulated over time, and they probably have existed since they got engaged to the Hu family. I don't know what will happen to them when they go back in a few days... ..."

Li Xin asked: "Awen, have you ever thought about it, if your fourth brother really wants to take a concubine?"

"Take a concubine?" Guan Wen was surprised, and frowned immediately: "What kind of concubine should you take? Our family doesn't have such rules."

Li Xin chuckled: "That's true. When you go back, if the matter between the fourth brother and the couple has not been resolved, you have to talk about it with the fourth brother. There is no rule in our family. If you go down with a little girl, it will only ruin the girl's reputation. Don't look at the fourth brother and sister's family is small, there is no brother to support, and the father is still blind, so he thinks that she is easy to bully."

What he said made Guan Wen feel a little embarrassing, as if Guan Quan was really bullying Hu Yueying without her mother's support.

Li Xin sighed and said, "It's not easy for the fourth younger brother. You think she is willing to quarrel with the fourth brother? She is from a bad family and looks bad, so it's fine if the fourth brother doesn't like her. But since the fourth brother is married to her, I don't want her He should live a good life with her, this is his responsibility as a man."

Guan Wen straightened his back, his face became serious.

Li Xin added: "As for the fourth brother who said this morning that the fourth younger sister didn't hand over the money they earned, but took it back to subsidize their natal family... I really don't think it's the fourth younger sister's fault."

"How to say?" Guan Wen sat upright and asked.

Li Xin also corrected his expression and said, "Ah Wen, think about it, you will leave all our family's money to me, right?"

Guan Wen was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood what Li Xin meant, and nodded awkwardly.

Li Xin said again: "You leave the money to me. I don't spend it recklessly. I use what I need. Let's buy land and save what we don't need. The husband and wife work together to live together. What about the fourth brother and the others? The younger siblings have no natal family to rely on, no son to rely on, and the fourth brother is holding on to money. Of course, she panics in her heart. If she doesn't keep the money by her side, what can she do? You let the fourth brother touch his own conscience Ask, has he ever made the four younger siblings feel at ease? To put it bluntly, the fourth younger siblings don't believe him! In the end, is it not his own problem?"

Guan Wen was thoughtful and thought about it carefully, why did Li Xin's words sound so reasonable?

Li Xin lay down, yawned and said, "Okay, think about it slowly, I'll go to sleep first."

Guan Wen hurriedly responded, and lay down along with him, and put his arms around Li Xin's waist.

The couple stayed at home for four or five days, settled some basic matters about the granary, and then returned to the town.

Guan Wen was going to manage the shop, and Li Xin was going to Zhao's house to check on how the wedding preparations were going, and to ask about the approximate wedding date by the way.

When he returned to the shop, Guan Quan was settling accounts. Seeing Guan Wen approaching, he hurried up to tell him that the fur business of the Cen Mansion had been settled. Let's see if he is really the housekeeper of the Cen residence.Of course, it turned out that Butler Cen was real.

Guan Wen listened lightly, asked questions from time to time, looked at the account books for this period, and nodded.

Guan Quan said: "If the eldest brother is free, then I will continue to work."

Guan Wen said, "Wait a minute."

Guan Quan looked at him, Guan Wen paused, and asked Guan Quan in front of Li Xin: "How is your talk with the fourth sibling?"

Guan Quan immediately turned dark: "Brother said what was she doing... She went back to her mother's house yesterday."

Guan Wen immediately frowned, glared at Guan Quan and said, "Then you let her go back alone? She has been going back to her mother's house alone all this time?"

Guan Quan just nodded.

Guan Wen immediately glared at Guan Quan: "She is your daughter-in-law! You let her go home alone every time she goes back to her mother's house. What does her family think? What do her neighbors think?"

Guan Quan muttered: "There is only one blind father left in her natal family, and there are no neighbors who pay attention to their family..."

Although this sentence was said in a low voice, Guan Wen still heard it clearly, and immediately became furious, and he stretched out his hand to hit him.

Li Xin quickly stopped Guan Wen: "If you have something to say, talk about it, so many people are watching... Let's go to the backyard..."

Guan Wen stared at Guan Quan: "Come to the backyard!"
