The more graceful middle-aged man at the head reached out and touched Cao Chong's head, and said with a smile: "We haven't seen him for a few years, but he has grown so big already!"
"Uncle, who are you?"
Cao Chong raised his head and asked in confusion.
"Chong'er, come back!"
From behind, Wang called Cao Chong back with a cold shout.
Only then did Cao Chong realize that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He quickly agreed, turned around and ran to his mother's side, holding his mother's sleeve and standing aside obediently.
"What are you doing here?"
Mrs. Wang looked at the two middle-aged men outside the door. There was no smile on her face, and her tone was cold and emotionless. She obviously didn't welcome them.
"Haha, from Lao Qi's family, we are a family after all, why should we be so secluded from outsiders?"
The graceful middle-aged man had a bit of a smile on his face. He didn't mind Wang Wanzhen's coldness at all. Instead, he was smiling all over his face, as if he was a close friend.
While they were talking, the two of them had already crossed the threshold and walked into the courtyard.
They looked at Cao Xiu, who was also expressionless, and said with a smile: "Why, Xiu'er, can't you even call me uncle?"
"snort!"
Cao Xiu snorted lightly and did not pay attention to the other party.
However, in terms of seniority, these two people are really his uncles.
The middle-aged man at the head is Cao Boping, the current patriarch of the Cao family, and the other is his younger brother Cao Zhongan.
However, the other party is a direct descendant of the Cao family, while Cao Xiu is a descendant of the side branch. Although they have not appeared in the fifth server, Cao Xiu's grandfather and Cao Boping's father are still half-brothers, but their relationship is obviously not very good.
Cao Boping was not surprised to see the mother and son being cold to them. He just frowned slightly and said, "Why, you're already here, why don't you invite us to sit in the house?"
Although Mrs. Wang was a little unhappy, her family background and years of upbringing did not make her lose her etiquette. Seeing this, she had no choice but to turn slightly sideways and let them into the room.
However, she did not ask Cao Xiu to serve them tea. She just sat there dryly and looked at the two people opposite.
Fortunately, they came all the way from Qiaocheng, obviously not just to drink tea.
"What do you mean when you two come here?"
Seeing that they didn't speak for a while, Mrs. Wang took the initiative to ask!
"this……"
Cao Boping coughed dryly: "I came here today because I really have something to discuss with my siblings.
These two children, Xiu'er and Chong'er, are of my Cao family's blood after all, so it would be outrageous to live outside like this, so we want to bring them back to the family!"
"no!"
Before they could finish their words, Ms. Wang was furious: "You want to take away my child? Absolutely impossible!"
"Hey, sister-in-law, you can't say that."
Cao Boping said quickly: "We elders can't bear to see them suffer outside, and we want to take them back to the family to enjoy the blessings. Isn't this bad?"
"Huh, don't talk so high-sounding!"
Wang's words were filled with anger: "Why didn't you show any concern for our mother and son when they were forced to leave? Now you suddenly want to take my two sons away. It's just a dream!"
"snort!"
At this time, Cao Zhongan, who had been sitting next to him silently since he entered the door, snorted coldly: "After all, they are all descendants of my Cao family. Now that their father is gone, everything will naturally be arranged by us as elders. Where will it be your turn?"
A person with a foreign surname is here to give advice?"
"you……"
Mrs. Wang was furious. She didn't expect that the other party would say such words, and she was immediately furious.
"Second brother, why are you talking?"
Cao Bo'an was on the side to smooth things over: "Brothers and sisters, please don't be upset. In the final analysis, aren't we doing this for the sake of these two children?
You see, Xiu'er is about to reach adulthood, and he hasn't switched to Kung Fu training yet. He is still practicing Chunyang Boy Kung Fu. If this continues, it will be detrimental to his future, and you don't want to see him waste his life in the future!
So, if we let these two children go back with us, will the family be able to do without them, whether it’s skills or resources?”
Cao Xiu could see clearly from the side that one of the two brothers was trying to be a good guy and the other was a bad guy, and they were trying to make fun of their mother!
Moreover, all they talked about was picking up the two children, but they did not mention anything about asking Wang Wanzhen to go back with them.
Obviously, there is no intention of treating the Wang family as family!
Seeing that her mother's eyes were red with anger, she quickly stretched out her hand and tugged on her sleeves: "Mom, don't be angry, otherwise you'll break your body!
Don't worry, no matter what they say, my brother and I will never leave you!"
Cao Chong nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "Yeah, I will never leave my mother until I die!"
Cao Chong was still young when he left the Cao family and didn't even remember what the Cao family was like. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know the two elders of the family, Cao Boping and Cao Zhongan!
"The adults are talking, why are you two idiots interrupting?"
Cao Zhongan's temper was obviously a little hot, and he suddenly glared and scolded Cao Xiu: "Chong'er is young and ignorant, don't you know the truth too?
Returning to the family with skills and resources is not a hundred times better than staying in this humble place!"
"No need!"
Cao Xiu said calmly: "As long as you stay with your mother, we brothers will be happy no matter how hard it is!
What's more, my mother has worked hard to bring us brothers up all these years, so if she abandons her just for the sake of her wealth and career, how would she be any different from an animal?"
Cao Boping looked at each other and said quickly: "What do you mean, we have no intention of letting you mother and son separate. If you are willing, you can come to Jiangzhou City to visit in the future..."
"okay!"
Before the other party could finish what he said, Cao Xiu interrupted and said coldly: "Master Cao, if you have something to say, just say it and don't talk in circles!
Don't talk about blood ties and other nonsense. If you really cared about this, you wouldn't have tried every means to drive us out of the house!
Now that we have separated, we have nothing to do with the Cao family in Qiaocheng.
What is your purpose? Let’s just talk about it directly, so as not to waste your breath!”
"..."
After hearing this, Cao Boping and the two fell silent immediately.
After a moment, Cao Boping nodded: "Forget it, in that case, I'll just say it!"
He swept his gaze from the mother and son in front of him, and finally cast his gaze on Cao Xiu, saying: "There is a letter from Daluo Sect, saying that Elder Guo will come here in a while, and it is very likely that he will come here by then.
Go visit the family.
You... are the children of Lao Qi after all, so go and show your face when the time comes, so as not to make people say that our Cao family treats future generations harshly!"
"Elder Guo?"
Cao Xiu was slightly stunned, not knowing who this Elder Zhao was.
However, Wang was startled when he heard this: "Are you talking about Brother Seventh's master, Elder Guo Houshan?"
