Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 657
Guan Wen and Li Xin only stayed in the village for three days. On the first day, they took care of household chores. On the second day, Guan Wen accompanied Li Xin back to her natal home. On the third day, Guan Wen went to paddy fields, lotus ponds, and stone fields. All in one, he said some words of encouragement and rewards and punishments to the tenant farmers and long-term workers at home, and hurried back to the town before the sun set on the third day.

Guan Wen's face was a little gloomy, and Guan Wu and Xing'er also knew that Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng had gone to Guan Wen and Li Xin's house in the town.

Guan Wu was about to go to the town with Guan Wen to drive them out, Xing'er stopped him and said, "Don't be so reckless, it depends on what elder brother and elder sister-in-law say."

Li Xin and Xing'er have analyzed the stakes, and Xing'er naturally knows that it is unwise to drive people out like this. Guan Wen's reputation is very important. If there is a big trouble, the people in the town will only talk about Guan Wen and not Filial piety.

You must know that the word "filial piety" is a very large consideration in a person's moral character nowadays. Guan Wen has to be in the market, and he doesn't need to pay attention to other things, but "filial piety" can't make mistakes, otherwise Those businessmen will think that Guan Wen has no morals if he is not filial, which makes those businessmen very disgusted.

Myolie looked at Li Xin, Li Xin nodded slightly to her, signaling her not to worry.

"This matter has to be discussed in the long run." Li Xin stood beside Guan Wen and looked at him and said, "Let's discuss it on the way back." He whispered in a low voice: "Don't let the second brother and Xing'er worry too much, they Enough has happened."

Guan Wen nodded, stretched out his hand to Li Xin and said to Guan Wu and Xing'er, "We're going back, if there's anything I'll ask someone to come back and deliver a message."

Guan Wu raised his fist: "Brother, don't be polite to them. If they are shameless, there are many people in your family who are doing things, so you are not afraid to blow them away."

Guan Wen smiled and nodded to indicate that he knew.

The carriage left Guan's house and was driving on the road at a moderate speed.Guan Wen and Li Xin wanted to discuss something, but it was not easy for Yang'er and Yoyo to hear, so they drove them to another carriage, and Yoyo was held by Qingya.

When the curtain of the carriage was drawn, the people inside couldn't hear clearly.

"What should we do about this?" Guan Wen frowned and asked Li Xin, "I really left you guessing... What's your plan?"

Li Xin smiled wryly: "Is there any plan I can come up with, I just remembered this, what can I come up with in just one day..."

After hearing the news last night, Guan Wen and Li Xin were discussing this matter at bedtime, but they couldn't come up with a solution.He didn't sleep well all night, and Guan Wen was going to inspect the fields the next day, so he didn't have the heart to think about it.Li Xin thought for a day, but couldn't think of a way.

"How did Guanshi Cao do things? Why did he put them in..." Guan Wen complained.

Li Xin said: "It's no wonder that Guanshi Cao, it's also reasonable for him to act like this."

The master's relatives and younger brothers came to the door. Of course, Guanshi Cao couldn't directly bombard him. It was the safest way for him to invite people to look at them first, and then act after getting the master's order.

Otherwise, if he just said that this person came to extort money and sent him away, then if it was really the master's own father and younger brother, wouldn't he be able to eat and walk away?If it wasn't for the main family's own father and younger brother, he would have invited people in, and no outsiders would gossip about the main family's ignorance of his parents.It will not be too late for him to drive away when he gets the letter of approval from the master's family.

For a family of housekeepers like Cao Guanshi, not seeking merit, but seeking no faults, is their code of conduct.

Guan Wen sighed and said, "When we moved, we should have told Guanshi Cao about this, so as not to end up in today's situation."

"You are not a god who can predict the future. How could you know that they will come back and come to the door?" Li Xin comforted Guan Wen and said: "Now we should think about how to deal with them. Cao Jun said that it is not just the two of them, Aunt Cui and Mu Chun They're here too."

Li Xin let out a sigh of relief, looked at Guan Wen and said, "It's impossible for this matter to be settled easily. They made up their minds to rely on us for food and drink, and there are not many people in the village in the town. There are not many who know the past, they open their mouths, and they can turn everything upside down..."

A sneer appeared on Guan Wen's face: "There are only four adults and one baby, and I can still control their food and drink."

Li Xin hesitated to speak, seeing Guan Wen's expression but didn't know what to say.

After a while, Guan Wen suddenly smiled, and put his arms around Li Xin's shoulders: "Don't worry about this matter, just leave it to me."

Li Xin couldn't help but asked, "What are you going to do?"

The corner of Guan Wen's mouth twitched slightly: "If you plan to rely on us, you must be prepared to suffer the consequences. It's not that I haven't given them a chance."

Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng had approached Guan Wen before, and Li Xin and Guan Wu had seen this scene before. Although Guan Wen refused, Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng would naturally not be reconciled, and it is common sense to think of other ways.

Li Xin sighed: "I'm always in charge of the house. If you want to do it, I have no objection, but you have to tell me everything, okay?"

Guan Wen dialed the hairpin on Li Xin's forehead, and said, "I never hide anything from you about the family, and of course I will tell you everything. If you have any questions, you can ask me." Guan Wen squeezed Squeeze Li Xin's hand: "There is nothing between our husband and wife."

"Then tell me, what can you do?"

Li Xin hoped to fix Guan Wen: "I look at you, it seems like you want to hit hard..."

Guan Wen's eyes turned cold, and he said to Li Xin in a low voice: "Xin'er, don't forget that the case of Master An's sudden death is still pending."

Li Xin took a breath, and said in a low voice, "You don't mean to threaten Guan Zhicheng with this matter, do you?"

"Why not?" The corner of Guan Wen's mouth twitched: "He dares to plot against me again, so what if I threaten him with a sentence or two. Not to mention there is another person who has suffered the pain of losing his father and son, and now Mrs. Shen, the fourth wife who is recharging her energy in a village in the countryside."

Li Xin took a deep breath: "You have to carefully consider this matter, after all... After all, he is also your own brother. You rely on your connections and reputation to do things now. If it spreads, it will affect you in the future..."

"I threatened him with this matter, but it doesn't mean that I really want to deal with him." Guan Wen interrupted Li Xin and said, "Besides, I'm not a person for fame. If I really meet an enemy who wants to deal with me, I will The eight generations of my ancestors will be searched out, so I am not afraid of others knowing. He is him, and I am me. Friends in the mall can still recognize this clearly. You don’t just focus on your relative’s character when doing business. .”

Li Xin bit her lip, and said after a long time: "You are not afraid that he will really jump over the wall..."

Guan Wen raised his eyebrows: "You mean, he still dares to kill me?"

"Awen..."

"Don't worry, he will never dare."

Guan Wen sneered: "If he wants to rely on me to raise him, I can't have any accidents. Otherwise, what can I do to support him? Take a step back and say, if he really wants to jump the wall and attack me, you are a vegetarian for the second and fourth brothers." What? He can't get any cheap."

Li Xin was still panicking in his heart: "Then what are you going to do with it..."

"I've thought about it, they have entered my house, and it's not so easy to get out." Guan Wen's eyes flashed coldly: "Isn't there a small deserted courtyard? Let them live in it , ask people to watch, and easily forbid them to go out."

"You are..." House arrest?

Li Xin took a breath: "This is not so easy to do, let's not talk about whether they are making trouble, whether the guards are strict with their mouths, will they find a way to escape... these are all questions ah."

Guan Wen smiled sarcastically: "So we need to threaten him with the matter of Mr. An and Mrs. Shen."

Li Xin thought about it carefully, but still shook his head and said, "I still don't think it's appropriate to deal with it like this."

Li Xin was afraid that Guan Zhicheng would jump over the wall in a hurry. If Guan Wen kept putting pressure on them, there was no guarantee that they would not rebound...

"Let's think about another way..."

"There is no other way, this is the most appropriate way so far." Guan Wen said: "Xin'er, we will be at the door soon."

The carriage had already arrived at the town, passed the entrance of the town, and headed towards the closed house.In a short while, they will directly face Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng who have been away for several years.For this father and son pair, Li Xin never concealed his dislike.

They are relatives of Guan Wen, but when they look at Guan Wen, their interests always come first.It was like this a few years ago, and it is still like this now.

The horse's hooves stopped, the coachman let out a "wow", jumped out of the carriage and said to the inside: "Master, madam, we are here."

Guan Wen got out of the car and helped Li Xin down, Qingya followed with Yoyo and Guozi in her arms, and Yoyo stretched out her hand to Li Xin, Li Xin took Yoyo and hugged her in her arms.

"Mother." Yang'er yawned as soon as he called her.

Li Xin smiled and said, "Sleepy? There will be a curfew soon, and you have to go to Wen's house tomorrow, so don't delay."

As he said that, Li Xin called Guanshi Cao, who had heard the sound, and asked him to order Ting Jiu and Shen Hu to take care of Yang'er to wash and let him rest early.

Cao Guan's affairs were completed in response, and he hurried back, sweat dripping from his brow.

In the main hall, Guan Wen and Li Xin were talking one by one. Guanshi Cao came in while wiping his sweat and said to Guan Wen and Li Xin, "Master, madam, the one in the courtyard..."

Cao Jun came to report the letter yesterday, and Guan Wen asked Cao Jun to come back early the next morning to tell Cao Guanshi, and asked him to arrange someone to live in the side courtyard. The other side didn't mention a word.

Guanshi Cao is a fine person. When his son said this, he naturally understood that this relative was probably true, but the relationship must be weak.

Therefore, Cao Guanshi's subsequent arrangements were appropriate. No one was hungry, but he didn't let anyone wander around.

Guan Wen took a sip of tea, stood up and said, "You lead the way, I'll go and have a look."

Li Xin got up and said, "I'll go too."

Guan Wenwen wanted Li Xin not to go, but after thinking about it, he said, "Then you go too, just keep quiet and hide."

Li Xin nodded with a smile.
