Chapter 336 Brother Zong

Brother Zong washed up, put on a clean cloth robe, and ate a hot meal. His complexion improved a lot, and he looked quite upright, a little more handsome than his father, but his complexion was not very good. There are some slight scars and scratches on the cheeks and cheeks, which are more conspicuous against the slightly pale complexion.

When he saw Hu Fei, he didn't recognize him at first. He just thought that the head of the family had arrived, so he hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects. Big bow: "I have seen the master!"

Hu Fei frowned, supported him, and looked at him carefully.Brother Zong was a little dazed: "Master?"

Chun Ying said to Hu Fei from the side: "It's cleaned up now, much better than before. You don't know that when I saw him on the street, he looked worse than those kids playing on the front and back streets! Slightly better than the waifs we saw when we were peddlers."

Brother Zong shrank his neck a little uneasy: "Grandma..."

Hu Fei sighed: "What's the name, master, grandma?! I am your second uncle! This is your second aunt! Don't you remember? When I was young, I often played with you in my arms. Don't you love to chase after me and call me Shall I buy you a lantern?"

Brother Zong was stunned for a long time before he yelled in disbelief: "Second Uncle?! Are you Second Uncle?!" He stared carefully at Hu Fei and saw a familiar smile on his face. Just now he hugged him with a wow and cried loudly: "Second Uncle! Second Uncle! Where have you been?! I miss you so much!!!"

With tears in Hu Fei's eyes, he kept patting Brother Zong's back and comforted him: "Okay, okay, second uncle knows that you have suffered all these years, and everyone in the clan said that you were sent to other places to study by people from the fourth room. I went, I didn't expect you to be in such a situation, but fortunately your aunt recognized you on the street, and your hard life will be over from now on."

Brother Zong cried even more after hearing his words.Chunying had no choice but to go forward to comfort him with Hu Fei.After he finally calmed down, he pulled him to sit down, poured a cup of hot tea for him and Hu Fei himself, and said, "Cry a bit, let it out, and forget about those things."

Brother Zong hurriedly got up and bowed down: "I didn't know it was my aunt before, but my nephew was rude." Chunying smiled and helped him up: "How do you know me? It's normal if you don't know. I saw that there were so many people at that time. I asked a lot, so I wanted to bring you back. These years, we didn't know your situation. We only heard that you had a good life in Sifang, so we didn't ask any more questions. You probably heard about it, right? Second Uncle’s situation in the clan was a bit embarrassing in the past few years, and many times it was wrong to even say one more sentence. Even if we wanted to inquire about your situation, we would believe what others said. If we had known that your life was difficult , we will not take you over until today."

Brother Zong nodded: "Yes, in the past at the fourth grandfather's place, I heard people say..." After a pause, he glanced at Hu Fei with some hesitation, and Hu Fei smiled: "I think I know what they said Mine, I must say that I am an unfilial son, killed my father, and tried to seek family property, right?" Brother Zong said uncomfortably: "I don't believe it, the second uncle treats people so kindly, how could he kill grandpa? But... ...As soon as dad heard me say this, he hit me..."

Hu Fei seemed to feel a little relieved, and said with a smile, "It's good if you can trust me. Your father is just guilty of a guilty conscience, so he put the blame on me. How did your grandfather die? Only he and his mother are the most responsible. clear!"

Brother Zong was taken aback, uncertain.Chunying hurriedly said: "Your second uncle has held a lot of grievances in his heart these years, and he became angry for a while, and didn't take your thoughts into account. Don't blame him for being too straightforward. Your second uncle, mother and son were really wronged in those years. , your little grandma passed away in a few days, and your second uncle was so sad that he almost followed him! Later, he worked hard to make a living in the capital, and finally made some achievements, but was forced to leave by your father. These I can't tell you what happened in the past year. I will tell you slowly in the future. As for your father... he is now living in the south of the Yangtze River with his family, and his life is not good. Your second uncle thinks that he is a family anyway. The flesh and blood have been helping them. Although he has no good looks, he has done his best. He has been worried about you for the past few years. Because your father didn't say a word about you, and he couldn't listen to his clansmen in the capital. When it comes to the truth, I have no choice but to believe that you are really living well with the Fourth Old Master."

Brother Zong's eye circles gradually turned red, and he choked up and said, "Auntie, don't need to say any more, my nephew knows very well what my father... is. The closest relative is still..." He wiped his eyes violently, "When my mother left, he hugged me, and I cried and begged my mother not to go, but he said... but said... If I want to follow mother, It's okay, but from now on, I won't be his son anymore... My mother pushed me away cruelly, and left crying. But my father turned around and sent me to the fourth grandpa, saying, wait for the new grandma to come in. I can't go home after leaving the door, and I'm not allowed to call him daddy in front of people..." Wiping away tears again, "Fourth grandpa treats me very well...but daddy...Fourth grandpa's family is not rich , because of me, he insisted on bearing the debts owed by his father, and sold almost all the fields. The fourth grandfather was also sick, and he almost couldn't even get the money for the medicine... When he passed away, I really hated it My father..." At this point, he was already crying bitterly.

Hu Fei listened to his words, and the resentment towards Sifang in his heart subsided a little bit, thinking that it was not easy for their family.Chunying exchanged glances with him, then asked softly: "So, when you left the fourth room, you didn't have much complaints about his family in your heart? But how did we hear that you were like a slave in his house... ..."

Brother Zong shook his head while crying: "His family has a large population and is poor. I just helped to do more work, but it caused them to be gossiped by others. There are four or five younger brothers and sisters in his family. It is not easy to support them." It's easy. I've already killed the Fourth Grandfather, so I can't harm them anymore..." Hu Fei hurriedly said: "You can't say that, the Fourth Old Master originally had good intentions, but it's just that your father has troubled his family. Don't worry, I will Send people to his house to see what difficulties they have, and solve them for them, which is also to repay the kindness of the fourth old master for raising you."

Chunying secretly sighed in her heart, she really didn't know what was going on without asking the person concerned about some things.She originally thought that the fourth room of Hu's family would take their anger out on the child because they resented Hu Peng's huge debts and hurt their family.However, from this matter, it can be seen that this child has a good character, and he and his father are like heaven and earth.

Chun Ying gave Hu Fei a wink, Hu Fei nodded slightly, then patted Brother Zong on the shoulder and said: "You stay here first, and I will take you back to the clan tomorrow. Your father has nothing but you He is now the son of the eldest son, and he left behind the important matter of ancestral incense and sacrifices and ran to the south. Naturally, you have to take care of these things, but don't worry, your aunt and I will help you with everything. I listened to you earlier The aunt said, you have learned some bad things in the past two years, and you can't show them in the future. Although we are businessmen, we are not comparable to ordinary outbreaks, so don't make people laugh."

Brother Zong bowed his head in response, with a bit of anxiety, a bit of anxiety, and a bit of peace of mind and anticipation, he took three steps back, and kowtowed to Hu Fei and Chun Ying again: "Thank you, uncle and aunt, for your mercy. Thanks to uncle and aunt!"

Chunying hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, the three of them chatted until dark, she asked someone to clean up the room, and then assigned a woman to take care of Brother Zong, then left him with Hu Fei and went back to the backyard.

Sitting down in the room, she smiled and said to Hu Fei: "Looking at Brother Zong's temperament, he is quite different from his father, and we can breathe a sigh of relief from now on."

Hu Fei nodded, then frowned and said, "I see that although he said respectful words, there is still some hesitation in his eyes, as if he doesn't believe that we are really kind enough to help him."

Chunying smiled and said: "When you left home, he was still young, what could he know? He has heard bad things about you from other people these years..." After a pause, he suddenly felt wrong, "Strange, since he I am used to hearing people say that, and they say that Hu Peng beats him as soon as he mentions you, why was he so excited when he heard you say you were his second uncle earlier?" It seems like a relative who has a very good relationship and reunited after a long absence. "If you say...he already knew you were a good person and you were wronged back then, then he just heard your words, and the surprised look doesn't seem to be faking..."

Hu Fei's face became a little weird, and after a while, he laughed loudly: "What a boy! You almost fooled me!"

Chunying was amused and annoyed at the same time: "Before he was on the street, he looked stupid, like a doormat who was used to being beaten and scolded by Ah Fan, I didn't expect to have such a scheming! That's what he said just now It's not sincere anymore?!" Even though he was pitiful for being wronged since he was a child, she was really annoyed that his good intentions were ruined by others.

Hu Fei smiled and patted her hand, and said: "It's okay, people in our Hu family are all scheming, it's strange to have a stupid person like Hu Peng, and I don't know if he is my father's seed! In short, Brother Zong will stay in Beijing to support the family in the future, we can't protect him all the time, it's a good thing to have some scheming."

Chunying still felt a little uncomfortable: "I'm afraid that he doesn't really respect us. I don't want to save someone and come back, but it will become trouble!" Thinking that this trouble might affect her son, she frowned even tighter.

Hu Fei smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? You just said that when I left home, he was still young, what could he know? He grew up in such a situation, so it's not surprising that he has doubts about us. Day After seeing people's hearts for a long time, he will always know our good intentions. Besides, we only want to expel Hu Peng from the clan, so that we can spread our branches and leaves in the south of the Yangtze River in the future. No matter how scheming he is in the capital, it will not hinder us."

Chunying thinks about it too, and her face softens a lot: "You are right, it is not us who drove his mother away, it is not us who sent him to the fourth room, it is not us who forced the fourth old man to repay the debt, and it is not us who drove him away from the fourth room. It wasn't because of us. I met him accidentally on the street and rescued him. In the future, we will help him inherit the family business. Not only do we have no enmity with him, but we even have great kindness! What reason does he have? Can't get along with us? It doesn't matter if you have some scheming."

Hu Fei nodded, suddenly took Chunying's hand, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly.Chunying caught him off guard for a while, and was taken by him. She was shocked first, then smiled, and slapped him: "What are you doing? There is no sign at all, and you are talking about serious business!"

Hu Fei hugged her tightly, and murmured: "Seeing Brother Zong today, I feel really sad. Don't blame him for putting on an act in front of us. If it were me, he wouldn't be completely trustworthy..."

Chunying's heart softened, she nestled into his arms, and asked in a low voice, "Did you...remember the past?"

Hu Fei rested his chin lightly on top of her head, and said, "If I hadn't met you, I'd be worse than him! He still has four old masters in the family to take care of him, although Hu Peng has caused him a lot of grievances." Anyway, I don’t have to worry about food and clothing. I think his etiquette is also a little tricky. It can be seen that the fourth old man is still very careful in raising him. He has met a good man. And I... really have mercy on me. When I was desperate, I called I met you, my second uncle, and those neighbors on Funing Street. If you hadn’t protected me, I would have died long ago. I can't wash away my grievances in this life, even my father's great hatred..."

Chunying hurriedly covered his mouth: "What nonsense?! It's a mess, and I don't know taboos! You have today because of your hard work. Even if we help you a little bit, if you don't live up to it, so what? Will there be today?!"

Hu Fei said: "I'm telling the truth. If I hadn't met you back then, Brother Zong's situation before today would have been my fate. I'm afraid it would be worse. How kind is God to me? You actually asked me to meet you in the vast crowd... My dear Chuner, you must live a long life and live a peaceful life with me. In the next life, in the next life, I will continue to be husband and wife with you! "

Chunying's heart was soft, leaning against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she said softly: "Okay, then we have made a deal, we will continue to be together in the next life, the next life..."
