They were not worried at all, and they did not care at all. He was no longer in charge of the Xiao family's shop, which was equivalent to being deprived of all power at once. Old Mrs. Xiao did not want to see them, and their lives would not be easy in the future. However, they were not at all
Don't worry at all. He talks and laughs very naturally.
Wan Qing just watched, listened, and waited.
It wasn't until the sound of breaking tea bowls was heard outside that Hong Yun and Xiao Tongwen looked at each other and said, "You can go out now."
Xiao Tongwen stood up, hugged Wan Qing, and walked out.
He should have let Wan Qing avoid all this, but he didn't. Some things cannot be avoided no matter what.
"Where's the gold lock?" Mrs. Xiao screamed and asked as soon as the person came out.
Wan Qing subconsciously looked at Xiao Tongwen, thinking that he should ask her to take out the gold lock, but she saw that he turned over his hand, and a gold lock piece appeared in his hand, and he slowly handed it over, and he
His face became ugly again.
Wan Qing's eyes kept staring at the gold lock piece, and doubts arose uncontrollably in her heart. Unexpectedly, even Xiao Tongwen had one.
Watching Xiao Tongcai grab the gold lock piece as if he had found a treasure, with a proud and relieved look on his face, Wan Qing looked at Xiao Tongwen again.
"The token has been given to you. When the time comes, you can go to the shop yourself. The shopkeepers will all know it."
"I know." Xiao Tongcai interrupted Xiao Tongwen before he could say more. His son had not been by his side these past few months for nothing.
Xiao Tongwen no longer looked at Xiao Tongcai, but looked at Mr. Xiao without saying a word.
"Okay, let's go." Mr. Xiao stopped talking nonsense and wanted to take people away.
However, he wanted to leave, but others still had things to do, such as the old lady and the third wife.
"Old Master, wait a minute." Naturally, only the old lady would speak if she wanted to stop the old man.
"Everything has arrived, what else is there?" The old man's voice was a little impatient. Just now, when Xiao Tongwen handed the gold lock piece to Xiao Tongcai, he suddenly felt guilty. He faced Xiao Tongwen or him.
His dead mother, in short, that trace of guilt made him very unhappy and unhappy, so his tone at this time was not good.
It's just that he usually doesn't have a good temper, and his bad tone is normal, and no one cares about him.
Failure often starts from the inside (6)
"Old Master, while everyone from the third room is here today, I want to discuss some things in detail, and I would like to ask the old master to make the decision."
"If you have anything to say, tell me." The old man's tone became increasingly bad.
"Since I married into the Xiao Mansion, I have devoted all my efforts to the three of them. I have been devoted to them and never neglected them. However, Tongwen and Tongwu were at odds with me... Before, I married
The old man also knows if my daughter-in-law beats or scolds me. In all these years, have the two brothers ever visited my room to greet me?"
After a pause, he added: "I know they never like it, but in this big house, they should be more polite to me even if they are showing off to others, but the old man also knows..."
"What do you want?" There was doubt on the old man's face. He was impulsive and a little reckless, but he was also very smart as long as he wanted to.
"I think, since they all treat me well, I don't have to stay here and make people uncomfortable... I will choose a day to find a house outside, so that I can live a peaceful life for a few years without being idle.
"
"Mom, if you go, how will the third master and I live..." Before anyone else could say anything, the third lady had already burst into tears, as if the old lady was about to go to the west.
"Yes, mother, the child must be by your side. If mother insists on leaving, the child will accompany her."
Wan Qing raised her eyebrows, feeling a little funny in her heart. This old lady was really tall and she didn't have any shame. However, she still looked at the old lady. As for her father, she now understood that he had known that they would
There was this drama, and it seemed that he was waiting for a drama to be staged, so up to this point, he had no surprises and was just waiting quietly.
"You want to move out?" The old man's tone unexpectedly weakened, and he looked at the old lady and Xiao Tongcai and his wife with confusion and disbelief.
Just when Wan Qing thought that the old man might have been hit and unable to recover, he saw him glance at Xiao Tongwen again, closed his eyes, and after a long period of time, he took a long breath and nodded, "Yes.
OK." Turning to Xiao Tongcai,
"Since you have the gold lock piece now, go and invite other uncles from the clan."
Decline often starts from the inside (7)
Since the family is going to be separated, of course there must be elders around. Such a major matter can no longer be solved behind closed doors.
When Xiao Tongcai saw that the old man had no objection and instead asked him to invite people, he immediately felt happy and immediately went out to invite people.
Xiao Tongwen led Hongyun to sit aside, and Wan Qingqiner stood over together. The family chatted quietly and quietly. After a while, Luo Ying and Luo Hua also stood over.
Xiao Tongwen simply asked about Luo Hua's homework, and Hongyun pulled a few girls and chatted about the cooking skills of female workers.
Soon, someone came to report that several uncles had arrived.
Wan Qing has been in the Xiao family for almost half a year, but this is the first time she has met these so-called elders of the Xiao family. During the sacrifice, she did not have time to inform them.
"Uncles, are you here?" Mr. Xiao stood up first and saluted the old men with white beards who came in. Xiao Tongwen stood up with Hongyun and others and went out. "Uncles, are you still bothering me?"
, it’s really unfilial.”
After some greetings, several old men with white beards sat down. The only person in the Xiao family who could still sit was Mrs. Xiao. Others of Xiao Tongwen's seniority didn't even have a seat.
Seeing those old men with white beards, Wan Qing realized that Mrs. Xiao was not really an old man, and she understood why he was still angry at all times even though he was an old man, and used violence against his servants from time to time.
