Before coming here, he thought that even if he couldn't get any money, at most he would be ridiculed.
Why do you still need to be beaten?
The key is that although the He family couple were wealthy businessmen before, they did not have any guards on hand. Where did this large group of tall and strong men with sticks come from now?
Seeing that the stick was getting closer and closer, he immediately reacted and said hurriedly: "Mrs. He, if you have something to say, please tell me."
Chu Yunli didn't even look back.
Zhang Mazi knew that he had done something stupid, and he knew that the couple hated him before, but he thought it was not enough to be beaten. After this spanking, not to mention the hardships he endured, even if he had a grudge against the couple, they probably would not
care.
The purpose of his coming here is not to make enemies with the couple.
"Mrs. He, please listen to me."
Chu Yunli had no other instructions. Upon seeing this, the people below immediately swarmed up.
Zhang Mazi ran away desperately. Even though he ran fast, he was hit several times. While waiting to get rid of everyone, he was already limping. After a lot of effort, he returned to his yard.
The yard was very quiet. As soon as Zhang Mazi entered the door, he shouted dissatisfied: "Where have all the people died? Why don't I come out?"
Liu Ye ran out of the kitchen and was shocked when she saw his embarrassed look: "Dad, what's wrong with you? Come in and sit down quickly. Do you want to call the doctor?"
Although a person like Zhang Mazi risked his face to steal chickens and dogs, he still wanted to have face. Looking at these commodities, this matter will spread to several surrounding alleys. Where will he put his face?
?
"No, bring me some medicinal wine and rub it in."
Liu Ye didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly listened to his instructions and worked for a quarter of an hour, but she couldn't get any favors from him.
He was already injured, and the more he rubbed the injured area, the more painful it became. Zhang Mazi pushed the person away: "Can't you be gentler? I'm not the dough you have on hand, this is meat, and it will hurt if you knead it."
Liu Ye hurriedly backed away, feeling aggrieved.
"Dad, where did your injury come from?"
These words immediately reminded Zhang Mazi. Regardless of the pain in his legs, he immediately ran to the side room and pulled Pan Panyun off the bed: "Damn you, you said He Changshan would lend you money, wouldn't you?
Watching you die... It turns out that he lied to me. He didn't care about your life or death at all. He knew that I was looking for him and never showed up from the beginning to the end. The evil woman in his family also beat me out...
They have so many thugs at home, why didn't you tell me?"
Pan Panyun was taking a nap in bed, and was completely covered when she was pulled to the ground. There was pain on her scalp, which made stars appear in front of her eyes. After she finally understood what the man said, she also looked confused.
Are there any thugs in the He family?
Why doesn't she remember?
In other words, when she left, the He family did not have these things at all. In recent days, although she was rejected by the He family, she has been secretly inquiring about them. Knowing that Lou Huiniang is in my business,
And business is doing pretty well.
In other words, the He family is getting richer and richer.
After being stunned for a moment, Zhang Mazi was about to hit someone again. Pan Panyun was so frightened that he hurriedly explained: "I don't know... you are my man, and I don't want you to get hurt. If there is such a thing,
I will never hide anything!"
Zhang Mazi was clearly expressing his anger. He was not at the end of his rope. It was this woman who said that the He family and his wife would pay for her medicine, so he made this trip.
After all, no one would mind having too much money.
The only thing I thought about was that I couldn't get any money, and at most I would hear some unpleasant words. Who would have thought that the couple would take action?
"Pan Panyun, I think you are deliberately trying to kill me."
If possible, Pan Panyun really hopes that this man will die quickly. In the past few days, she has tried to walk through three times, but failed, and aroused the man's suspicion. If the man is sure that she really wants to leave...
I will never let her go.
Pan Panyun lowered his eyes: "I didn't want to harm you, I really thought about our family."
Zhang Mazi snorted coldly: "As long as I am here, you can never leave!"
Chu Yunli paid no attention to what was going on there, and did business when she had free time. She was always busy.
It was also at this time that He Changsheng came to the city again.
This time he came alone. He Changshan happened to be at home. Seeing his brother, he felt a little bored.
As if He Changsheng couldn't see his brother's indifference, he drank three bowls of tea after entering the door, then wiped his lips and said: "Shutan! There is only dry food to eat along the way, not even much water. Third brother, you still want to enjoy it."
"
He Changshan said with a cold face: "If you want to borrow money, don't ask as soon as possible. I look more prosperous now than before. People outside say that I have made a lot of money recently, but in fact my stall is very big.
The money on hand cannot be recycled at all, and I wish I could break it in half..."
He didn't forget that when he left last time, he only paid his own share. Even if the two brothers could pay it off, it would be quite difficult.
When He Changsheng heard what his brother said, his face turned ugly for a moment, and then he waved his hand: "I have known for a long time that you have misunderstood me, and you are unlikely to lend me money. I have never thought of opening my mouth to you... I will come to visit you today.
I also heard that you recently made a new kind of soap, which is fragrant and exquisite, and the price is very high. Many people are willing to come to buy it with money. Last time, in order to perform rituals for my mother, my family suffered a famine.
I owe a lot of debt... We brothers have already separated and lived separately, and I don't expect you to help me pay it back. But we brothers should support each other. I'm having a hard time now, so you have to help me no matter what.
A handful."
He Changshan heard what he meant: "You want to take my things and sell them in the town?"
He Changsheng nodded: "You collect the things first, and I will return the money to you after I sell them. If the things are really that good, I should be able to repay the debt I owe quickly. Third brother, no matter what, you want
Help me this time... If the quarrel between us brothers gets too ugly, my mother-in-law will not feel at ease if she knows it."
"My mother is gone." He Changshan's attitude was cold: "I don't have to worry about selling my goods at all. Someone has already paid a deposit for the goods after half a year. I really can't spare the time to give them to you. Besides, those things are very expensive.
, people in the town can’t afford it, so you can do other business.”
"There are also some wealthy families in the town." He Changsheng failed to achieve his goal and refused to give up: "They must be able to afford it. The goods are good and the price is naturally high. I will definitely not sell them at a low price. Third brother, I don't ask you.
If you want money, just give me some goods. If you are not willing to help even with this request, then you are really..."
He Changshan was curious: "What is it really? Heartless and unjust? Unfilial and disloyal?"
"Third brother!" He Changsheng said with a serious face: "After giving gifts to other people's brothers, they are afraid that they will not give enough blood relatives. You have been rich for so many years, and you have never thought of pulling me and your brother out... It would be too ruthless.
.”
Chu Yunli heard this sentence as she stood at the door and stepped in: "Heartless?" She was curious: "In the beginning, you two brothers were the first to stop being human. When his father was so young, he went out to find work.
As long as you love your brother, you will definitely stop him. But what did you do? Let him work hard outside and never ask questions. Now that someone has come out to make a name for himself, you come to recognize his father... Before
It’s very depressing. You think you don’t have this brother. Now that his father is well, you keep talking about brotherhood. Doesn’t it mean that everything in the world belongs to your family? "
After He Changshan became rich, he rarely thought about the past. Now that he has a son and a daughter, and his life is getting better and better, he is even less willing to think about those unhappy things. These words at this moment reminded him of what he suffered when he was a child.
Those hardships.
His two older brothers have no responsibility to take care of him, and he doesn't have many expectations for others. Again, everyone just treats him as a stranger. This was the case when he was a child, and he should be like this when he grows up.
"Brother, I am indeed planning to open a shop in the town. I have already discussed with Hui Niang to let the Lou family do this business."
He Changsheng was surprised: "I am your brother."
He Changshan looked indifferent: "Hui Niang and her family have helped me a lot. It can be said that without their help, I would not be where I am today. Everyone should know how to be grateful. Now that I have such a good opportunity, I will naturally think of them first.
.”
This person came to the city and spent a lot of money on the road. Besides, there might be various accidents. It took courage for He Changsheng to go on the road alone. And he didn't want to take He Changlin with him because he wanted to get this by himself.
Benefits.
As a result, he ran over as soon as he got the news. He ran so fast, but still couldn't catch up with the Lou family... In other words, he didn't get any benefits by running over on his own initiative. The third brother took the initiative to send such a good thing to someone else.
in hand.
He Changsheng's face was complicated, and besides being complicated, he also felt a little angry: "We are a compatriot from the same mother, and you should take care of me. I have already told my father about this matter before, and he also agreed. How can you do such a good thing?
If you give it to the Lou family, what will you do if your father gets angry and gets sick?"
He Changshan's face was full of sarcasm: "Brother, you are right to use your elders to pressure me. But you made the wrong choice. If it were mother, I might have considered it more. But you used father to threaten me... Since childhood
Da, has he ever loved me? He has always favored you and brother, and he often calls me a bastard and says I shouldn't be in this world... In this case, let's just pretend that the other person doesn't exist."
He Changsheng never expected that he would say such words.
The brothers don't have a deep relationship. He Changshan doesn't show much filial piety to his father, but he always gives him things during the holidays. He Changsheng has always thought that He Changshan treats his father just like he treats his mother. He doesn't mention it in words, but respects it in his heart.
There are plus.
Now it seems that he was wrong.
His father asked him to take over the business, which was He Changsheng's greatest confidence. Now his father's words didn't count, and He Changshan didn't acknowledge him at all. He didn't know how to persuade him for a while.
"That's our father, how could you..."
He Changshan raised his voice: "Come, let's see you off!"
He Changsheng was stunned.
They are blood brothers. Even if they couldn't stand it, he came so far from the town. How could they stay with him for one night and then find a carriage to send him back? How could he be treated as a guest?
"I...I've been running all the way. I just arrived. My bones are sore all over my body. I can't stand the bumps. I need to stay overnight."
He Changsheng thought that if he put the flowers on the bright side, He Changshan would never let him go. As a result, he miscalculated again.
He Changshan said bluntly: "Since I got married, I have never been under the same roof with you. Before I returned to the town, I always stayed at my Yue's house. Later, I got my own yard, and I never went back home. You and your brother
You have never entertained me, but I treat you as a guest every time... I have done enough of this."
He Changsheng: "..."
These things are never easy to think about carefully. Now that I hear it, it seems to make sense. He emphasized: "I have never refused to entertain you. It was you who refused to go back to live. It was you who separated from us first."
He Changshan didn't want to say more, waved his hands and said: "Whatever you say, anyway, you don't want to stay today, and you don't want to take goods from me to do business in the town. Even if you invite dad here, I will still
This is what I said."
He Changsheng: "..." It's over.
I thought that taking things to sell in the town was a sure thing, and through this business, I should be able to pay off the family's debts quickly. But now, the business can't be done, what should I do with those debts?
The most important thing is that when he came, he had already promised his creditors that he would pay off all the debts within two or three months.
If He Changshan still has this attitude towards them, these debts will not be repaid.
After repaying the debt, the family would be scolded and the marriage of his children would be affected. He Changsheng did not dare to think about it deeply. The more he thought about it, the more irritated and panicked he became.
"Send away!"
He Changsheng saw a thug coming with a stick, but he didn't dare to fight. A good man wouldn't suffer the immediate consequences, so he left immediately.
When he got outside, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. It was unjustifiable that the third brother wanted to give benefits to outsiders even though they were brothers. He originally wanted to argue with him, but as soon as he thought of those thugs, he immediately backed down.
However, he soon had other ideas and immediately got on the carriage back to town.
A few more days passed, and Chu Yunli finally put the matter at hand to an end. No matter how busy she was, she would always spare a few days to rest every month.
When He Changshan heard that she was going to take a rest, he also put down what he was doing. The couple returned to the yard and sat opposite each other. Neither of them spoke. Chu Yunli was holding a book in his hand and reading it carefully, while He Changshan was particularly interested.
Satisfied with the silence at the moment, he also secretly took a peek at the expressions of the people around him.
The appearance is familiar, the facial features are still the same...but he is no longer that person.
Even so, she was also afraid that the person in front of her would leave and never see this face again.
In the silence, someone was making a noise outside, followed by a series of messy footsteps.
Chu Yunli looked up and saw Fugui running towards him.
He Changshan was the first to reprimand: "If you have something to say, why should you run away?"
Fugui was a little anxious: "There is an old man outside who says he is your father. He also scolds you."
He Changshan was stunned for a moment, not surprised by his father's arrival. His eldest brother must have brought his father here unwillingly.
After all, he is his biological father. If he makes a fuss at the door, it will be criticized or not heard. He Changshan quickly made a decision: "Bring the person in!"
Fugui turned around and went out, and soon brought in He's father, who was over seventy years old.
Lou Huiniang knew that her father-in-law was not easy to get along with. Fortunately, over the years, the couple lived in the city and rarely went back to the town, so they did not spend much time together. As for the last time they went back for a short stay, the He family was doing rituals and everything was messy.
, and also invite relatives and friends to dinner.
He's father is old and can be considered an elder. Whenever a guest comes to the door, he will talk to him. At that time, Chu Yunli deliberately avoided him, so the two of them didn't get to know each other very well.
Father He looked around after entering the door: "Not bad! I have wanted to come and see where you live for a long time, but I have never had the chance. Third child, speaking of which, you are really cruel. I didn't think so before, but now that I think about it, you have never been willing to come.
You must have hated me for bringing me to the city!" He sighed and explained: "When you were young, your mother was still sick, and there was so much work at home that I couldn't keep up with it.
Do you have time to take care of you? You are also a father now. This father treats his children with the same heart. I am too busy. I am not ignoring you, nor am I resenting you because of your mother's death..."
He Changshan smiled half-heartedly and interrupted his father: "Do you think I am still a three-year-old child?"
Father He: "..."
He Changshan had no patience even when facing his father, especially when his father's arrival interrupted the atmosphere he had just enjoyed and reminded him again of the fact that his wife was no longer here. He was very irritable at the moment and said
: "What is the purpose of your visit this time?"
"I heard that you want to hand over the business to the Lou family... The town is so big. At this time, you should take care of your brothers. How can you hand over the business to an outsider?" Father He said with a look of disapproval: "
I know that Huiniang's family has helped you a lot, and you remember those kindnesses, so you want to repay them. But what I want to say is that there are many ways to repay, and it doesn't have to be this way. You can give the business to your elder brother,
Get some more money and give it to the Lou family... Anyway, for such a good thing, you have to think of your elder brother first."
He Changshan felt bored after hearing this: "That's my eldest brother too. After all, my brother who never cares about me, the Lou family brother is more like an older brother. He did what an older brother should do. My younger brother
You should repay what you have to repay. Why should you feel wronged for others? Dad, if you are willing to live in the city, then I will make a house for you to live in, but don’t say these disgusting words to me in the future, otherwise I will immediately
Take you back to town."
Father He was surprised: "You...you don't even listen to what I say?"
"You are already old, so stop meddling in the affairs between our brothers." He Changshan's eyes were indifferent: "If you insist on meddling, then just treat it as if you only have two sons, and the third died with your mother back then."
Father He stared at him fiercely: "Do you want to make me angry to death?"
He Changshan looked away.
Father He's chest heaved with anger. The son had no choice but to cast his eyes on his daughter-in-law beside him: "Huiniang, we, father and son, are quarreling over your family, so why don't you say a word?"
Chu Yunli raised her eyes: "I think your husband's words are reasonable. You old man has no shortage of food and drink, so why do you worry about this?"
He's father didn't want to take care of him at first. He knew that his younger son didn't want to see him, and the relationship between father and son was weak. But he had to admit that the younger son had the best life. He could live a comfortable life in the town because of his little son.
The money given by my son secretly.
The expenses in the town were not high, and he could spend a long time for just two. If this matter hadn't been about the future generations of the He family, he wouldn't have gone to the house to fight against his son.
It is said that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, but this is not true. If you want your children and grandchildren to live a good life, the elders must work harder. If the eldest son can take over this business and make some money, it will be a good thing for the eldest grandson in the future.
But if this business fails, the family will owe so much debt. I don’t know how many years it will take for the eldest son’s family to get back on their feet.
"Hui Niang, you can support your mother's family in any way you want, but not with business." He said with a cold face: "I am old and a little willful. You must listen to me on this matter. If you insist on letting me
The Lou family is doing business, so don’t blame me for failing to do this business."
The implication is that if Lou's shop opens, he will definitely find a way to interfere with it.
Chu Yunli turned his head and looked at He Changshan: "I realized that I was wrong. I have always treated your father as a close elder. I thought that he is the child's grandfather after all. He should take care of himself when he is old, but now I just
See clearly that he is an unreasonable old man who does not distinguish between good and bad, and does not remember kindness... I have been working hard to help you over the years since I married into your family, and I also gave birth to three children for you. As a result,
But he wants to harm my natal family. Did I marry you wrongly? Did I wrongly give birth to your child? Or did I wrongly honor my elders?"
He Changshan listened to these words with mixed emotions. If she had not come, it would have been Huiniang who faced these harsh words from her father. He said seriously: "We have already discussed what we have agreed, and it is absolutely impossible to change it. Then the business will be given to the Lou family.
, As for my father, he is old and confused. From now on... he will be in the city and I will watch it personally. "
He will never be allowed to cause trouble to the Lou family.
To be honest, He Changshan's attitude is quite good. If Pan Panyun hadn't interfered, the couple's life would have only gotten better and better.
Father He was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Who are you saying is old and confused?"
He Changshan ignored him: "Someone, take him to the small room over the warehouse and lock him up."
When He's father heard this, he was furious: "Who dares to lock me up?"
He Changshan pointed at the tip of his nose: "I dare you. You just said you were going to cause trouble for my in-law family, how could I let you go back?"
Father He glared at him: "Unfilial son!"
He Changshan waved his hand: "Over the years, I have paid you a lot of money, but you still say this to me. You are really confused."
