Yao hesitated.

At this time, Xu Youde, Xu Darong, and Xu Laoer walked into the main room from outside.

Several people had solemn expressions on their faces.

Xu Youde, in particular, was smoking his big dry cigarette, his brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Sichuan".

As soon as he entered the house, he said to the children, "You all go out and do some work with pigweed. Jiaojiao, Luo Shi, you two stay here."

The four children in the second room and the three children in the fourth room all looked at each other in confusion.

Xu Dalang and Xu Daya were the first to leave the house.

The other little ones followed him out.

After ordering the children away, inside the house were Xu Youde, Xu Darong, Xu Laoer, the three men in charge, plus Xu Zhang, Xu Jiaojiao, Luo and Yao.

Yuan Chunhua was not in the house from the beginning. She is now a slave of the old Xu family and is not qualified to participate in the discussion of the old Xu family's family affairs.

Normally, unless Mrs. Xu Zhang calls her, she is always working outside or staying in her woodshed.

Xu Zhang felt that the situation was different, that something was really happening.

Otherwise, Xu Youde would not have sent the children away.

I was panicking, "Old man, what happened to the fourth child?"

Could it be that you are not in good health? You fell ill outside?

Or did you cause trouble and have a conflict with someone?

Xu Jiaojiao also became serious. She was so mysterious and blabbering. When Xu Darong came back, he went to find Xu Youde. Xu Laoer and the others secretly discussed it and kept it secret from their family members. It must not be a glorious thing, for fear of being spread.

What happened?

Luo Shi was even more panicked!

Xu Laosi is her man. If Xu Laosi has any shortcomings, how will she and her children live in the future?

Xiao Liuzi is only four years old!

She has three sons, and it is difficult to remarry...

No, she won’t remarry, even if I beat her to death, I won’t remarry. Where can I find a family like Lao Xu’s family that has no worries about food and clothing these days? She won’t let her take away the seeds of Lao Xu’s family and remarry, so she will

With his sons, they can eat and drink and live happily in Lao Xu's house until they die.

In just a few breaths of silence, Luo Shi's thoughts had already wandered around in a big circle.

Xu Youde sighed and said to Xu Darong, "Boss, tell your mother, your sisters..."

Smoking loudly.

Xu Darong looked gloomy and said, "Mom, what's going on is that my fourth brother was caught by the government for selling counterfeit wine. He is currently being held in the Yamen of Bingyang City awaiting trial. I don't know the specific situation now...

"

Luo Shi felt dizzy and shouted, "What!! My mother!! The head of the family has been arrested and thrown into prison?! Dad, mother, what should we do?"

He was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, running around in circles.

Mrs. Xu Zhang was also panicked. Last time she sued Lao Yuan's family to the government. They were victims and did not suffer much. However, they saw with their own eyes that the official slapped Lao Yuan's family with a beating and they screamed.

So miserable...

Thinking about it now, the screams still echo in my mind.

Xu Laosi's body has been weak since he was born. If he is beaten and put in jail, how many days can he live?

When Mrs. Xu Zhang became anxious, the veins on her forehead popped out.

Xu Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows, "Brother, how did you know about it? Did fourth brother send you the news?"

Xu Darong said, "Yes, there is a master in the Yamen of Bingyang City who happens to be a distant relative of our master's family. When I asked where the fourth brother was from and what his name was, the fourth brother told me and reported mine.

Name, that person knew that I was teaching to my master, so he sent me a message, and I found out. If no one sent the message, the fourth brother might have died in the Yamen of Bingyang City, and no one would know about it. Alas

…”

Xu Jiaojiao thought about it and realized that this was indeed Xu Laosi's character.

Outside, no matter what he was doing or what problems he encountered, he would always mention Boss Xu's name, as if Boss Xu, a talented scholar, was an all-purpose sign and could give everyone face.

This time we bumped into it by mistake.

Luo Shi was so anxious that he almost cried, "Brother, what should we do? Brother, can we ask the boss to let our boss go home?"

Xu Darong had no expression on his face, "The fourth brother sold counterfeit wine, and it seems he almost died. The matter is very serious. It's already very good that they can give my master some face and send me a letter. I asked others to let go."

How could this be possible? Yangcheng is not like a small county or town like ours, and the boss does not have a big official position. He is just a handyman and does not have the rights..."

In a word, the matter is big and difficult.

Not easy to handle.

It's not like a woman can let someone go just by crying twice.

Mrs. Xu Zhang stood up from her chair in a hurry and turned around, "The fourth child, that little bitch on the back, told him not to go out. Don't go out, but he insists on messing around. Even if he is selling fake wine, he must have been deceived. He

You wouldn’t harm someone even if you knew it was fake wine. Boss, you know best what your brother’s character is like. Our fourth child must have been wronged!”

Xu Youde was still smoking his big pipe. He was also worried and was thinking about a solution.

Seeing that Mrs. Xu Zhang was so anxious, he said, "The boss has already told me that they were late to return home because they were waiting for a reply from Mr. Bo. He asked his family to come forward and send a letter to Mr. Bo.

I paid dozens of taels of banknotes and begged them to take care of Lao Si’s case. The supervisor, Mr. Bo, replied that he could, but this was a case that almost killed someone, so he could only take it in his hands and wait for a while. Specifically,

We need our family members to discuss it again!"

With that said, he said to Xu Darong, "Boss, you are serious, you still have the fourth child in your heart."

This means that things can relax a bit.

Xu Zhang's heart relaxed a little.

"Dad, what are you talking about? I am the eldest son of Lao Xu's family, and I am the elder brother of the younger brothers and sisters below. I don't care about them in my heart, but who should I care about? I really can't help you with the second brother's matter.

, Fortunately, due to the auspicious combination of people and heaven, the second brother got better. When the fourth brother encountered this incident, I happened to be able to deal with it. How could I not try my best?"

Xu Darong said and took out a letter.

He handed it to Mrs. Xu Zhang, "Father, mother, sister, this is the letter sent to me by my fourth brother. You have read it. Generally, you are not allowed to send letters home if you have committed such a serious matter. I have entrusted it to the master.

Because of the relationship, I sent him back."

Xu Youde can read simple characters, but cannot recognize most characters.

The same goes for Mrs. Xu Zhang, so this letter was directly handed over to Xu Jiaojiao.

Xu Jiaojiao unfolded it and saw that it was a letter for help.

The general idea is that how Xu Laosi sold liquor and how he got into trouble. He bought Shaodaozi liquor from Shazhou County and went to Bingyang City to sell it in partnership with others. As a result, someone drank their liquor and almost died of alcohol poisoning. His partner

After running away, they only arrested Mr. Xu and put him in jail. Not only did he confiscate all the money he earned, but he was also slapped with a slap in the face. The general judge sentenced him to beheading. He complained about his injustice and left the house. When the boss Bo heard about it, he happened to be with Xu Darong.
