The sturdy farmer's wife: the prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 17 Old Man Yang's Plea

Seeing Yang Guangzhong's heartbroken expression, as soon as the father and daughter left the front yard of the old Yang's house, Yang Yuanxiang reached out and tugged at Yang Guangzhong's sleeve.

"Xiang'er, what's the matter?"

The man wiped his face, trying to appear stronger in front of his daughter.

"Father, don't be angry. If I knew this, I wouldn't say it."

Yang Yuanxiang said with a self-blaming expression on her face, but she was really unhappy in her heart. After all, it was the first time she saw Yang Guangzhong like this in all these years.

Seeing that his daughter's face was not good-looking, the man put his arms around Yang Yuanxiang's shoulders.

"Silly girl, don't be afraid, with your father around, no one can bully you. Your grandma is getting old, and there are some things she can't understand. Don't hate her, Xiang'er. As long as our family is well, that's more important than anything else."

When Yang Yuanxiang heard this, her heart became hot, and she stretched out her hand to hold Yang Guangzhong.

"Father, don't worry. I've already inquired with Uncle Li Jun. He said that we can pay up to 30 taels of silver for the matter of the Du family. There is no need to pay 300 taels of silver. After all, it was Du Zishu from his family who was wrong. They don't make sense of things."

When Yang Guangzhong heard this, his face immediately relaxed a lot.

"Really, if this is the case, dad will be able to relax a lot in the future. Xiang'er, remember, don't tell your mother about this. Your mother is in poor health, so we can pay it back secretly."

Yang Yuanxiang nodded.

"Father, I know about this, I won't tell mother."

After the father and daughter finished speaking, they went to the small courtyard of the second room. When Shen saw the two coming back together, she rushed to meet them.

"Her father, what did you say?"

Yang Guangzhong waved his hand, pretending to be relaxed.

"Hey, what can I do? From now on, let's start a fire and cook by ourselves, save some money and return it to Du's family. This matter is over, and you don't have to worry about your mother. From now on, you only need to bring your two children in our second room." Here, leave the rest to me."

When Shen Yunzhen heard this, she was planning to go to the front yard to boil some water, but she didn't dare to go out. She looked at Yang Yuanxiang.

"Xiang'er, what's going on, you and your grandma had trouble?"

Yang Yuanxiang shook his head, glanced at Yang Guangzhong, and comforted Shen Yunzhen.

"Mom, don't think about it. It was my father and grandma who agreed. In the future, if we fire ourselves, we can pay less money to the front yard. The rest of the money will be saved and paid to the Du family. It's just hard work, mother. But it's okay, I can help you cook at home."

Shen Yunzhen laughed when she heard it.

"That's good. Don't quarrel with your grandma. It's not good to hear about it. By the way, did you tell me about the idiot's going to live in a firewood house? What did your grandma say?"

When Yang Yuanxiang heard this, he slapped his forehead, it's broken!I was so busy playing tricks that I forgot about the idiot, this is too bad, the idiot can't live at home all the time.

When Yang Guangzhong heard this, he put on a tiger's face. He couldn't bear to go to the front yard to say this now.

"Don't ask, this idiot will live at home from now on. If someone asks, just say he is my apprentice. If he is stupid, he will take him back and live for a few days. I will settle some accounts anyway. There are still people who want to learn this craft."

Shen Shi nodded.

"Can this work?"

Yang Guangzhong nodded.

"It's up to me whether it's okay or not. By the way, is there an earthen stove in our backyard? I think it's activated, and we will live our lives behind closed doors. When I go to town, don't go Go to the front yard, and pretend not to hear those unpleasant words."

When Shen heard this, she didn't understand, her husband must have had a conflict with the front yard, that's why she did this, but she knew that Yang Guangzhong was a bully, so even if she wanted to persuade her, she had to wait for the bullishness to pass before she could persuade him.

Thinking of this, without further ado, she turned around and went to the backyard to tidy up the earthen stove. When Yang Yuanqiu saw his old lady passing by, she pulled Xie Shaoting along, saying that she was going to help, and followed.

Seeing this, Yang Yuanxiang was about to get up and follow, but he saw old Yang head in the door with a cigarette stick in his hand.

"Grandpa, why are you here?"

After Yang Yuanxiang said that, he brought a stool to Old Man Yang, and Old Man Yang glanced at her.

"Xiang girl, where are you going?"

Yang Yuanxiang pointed to the backyard.

"My mother is cleaning up the earthen stove in the back, and I'll go over and help."

Old man Yang waved his hand.

"Tell your mother to stop cleaning up. Your grandma told you to go to the front yard for dinner. Second child, dad knows that you are angry, but there is no reason for the family to start a fire separately. What is the difference between this and a separated family?"

Yang Guangzhong stiffened his neck and did not speak. Old man Yang glanced at Yang Yuanxiang.

"Girl, don't stick around here, go and call your mother back, Grandpa has something to say."

Yang Yuanxiang agreed and had no choice but to call Shen Yunzhen.

There's no way, she can deal with Yang Zhao, but she can't fight against old man Yang, this is her own grandfather, and the main reason is that she is good to her.

After a while, Shen Yunzhen and others were called back by Yang Yuanxiang. Seeing that everyone had arrived, old man Yang knocked on the cigarette stick and said.

"Second brother, second daughter-in-law, we are all a family, there is no obstacle we can't overcome, your mother has learned a lesson today, and she also knows that she has gone too far, so she asked me to accompany you."

When Shen Yunzhen heard this, she quickly waved her hands.

"Father, this can't be done. You are an elder, how can you compensate us?"

Old Man Yang waved his hand.

"This matter is your mother's fault, you have to admit if you are wrong, second child, you just don't look at your mother's face, you have to listen to what your father says, we are a family, we have to twist together, work hard If you want to go to one place, this matter is always your mother and your little sister's fault. They already knew it was wrong, so they asked me to invite your family, second child, you will put this matter on the account, but We can’t just break up the family all at once.”

Yang Yuanxiang saw that Yang Guangzhong stiffened his neck and did not speak, and Shen Yunzhen also lowered his head, looking very sad, so she came over.

"Grandpa, then our family will still be the same in the future, should I give my grandma such money?"

Old Man Yang waved his hand.

"No, no, no, your grandma said, when you come back, give her three hundred Wen a month, and eat in the front yard. After all, you have to pay back the money to the Du family, so you can save the money."

Yang Guangzhong shook his head when he heard this.

"Father, as I said, it's only [-] Wen. You two are enough to eat. Even if you add Yunzhen and her mother and daughter, plus the rent, [-] Wen is enough. You insist on [-] Wen. I have to add the idiot, he is my apprentice, he was accidentally stupid, and he has to stay at home for a while."

Seeing his son's tone soften, old man Yang nodded.

"Cheng Chengcheng, as long as you are willing to come back, I will tell your mother about it. Of course, the whole family has to eat at the same table."

When Yang Yuanxiang heard this, he knew that this was the best ending. If he disagreed, it would be counterproductive and arouse Yang Guangzhong's resentment. At that time, the gain would outweigh the loss.
