As soon as the wine glass reached its end, the chatter began. Before Xu Wen could ask why his third uncle was angry, Xu Zhijun drank the wine in one gulp, put the glass heavily on the table, and cursed:
"It's really not a fucking thing. It's a total embarrassment to our old Xu family."
"Okay, third brother, don't be angry." Third uncle Xu Zhiguo, who was not good at words, comforted him.
"Third uncle, why are you so angry? Come and have a drink." Xu Wen filled Xu Zhijun's wine glass again.
"You think I can't be angry? Xiaowen." The third uncle picked up the wine glass again and poured all the wine into his mouth, then wiped the wine stars from his mouth and said:
"Those two bastards, Xu Zhilei and Xu Qing, hid it from all our Xu family members, took that little girl's money, and went to the countryside to secretly change the agreement. I went to their homes to ask, but they still refused to admit it."
"Third uncle, are you sure of this?" Xu Wen asked.
"Is that still accurate? A comrade of mine who works in the township government told me personally, and Township Chief Zhang, who is in charge of the demolition, said personally that the current demolition agreement is still one vote away from selecting "Plan A", as long as one more person is mobilized to
If we change the agreement, our Xu family will lose." Xu Zhijun put down the wine glass and placed the chopsticks in front of him, and he did not move at all.
"Uncle San, eat food, don't just drink." Xu Wen said.
"Third brother, I'm not telling you, don't take this matter seriously, let them do whatever they want." Second uncle Xu Zhiguo also drank a glass of wine and said.
"How can that be done? My eldest brother has already risked his life for this matter. I can't let the Wang family succeed no matter what I say." The third uncle glared at the second uncle and said.
When the second uncle saw the third uncle mentioning Xu Wen's father, he sighed and stopped talking. Seeing this, Xu Wen quickly said:
"Third uncle, it's all in the past, don't mention it again."
"The hatred against the Wang family has lasted for thousands of years. It can't be settled like this. There are scum in the Xu family, but they are a very small minority. Isn't there still one family left? Tomorrow I will hold a clan meeting and announce that these two traitors will be kicked out.
The Xu family's genealogy and demolition must not be carried out according to the Wang family's plan. Even if only the three of us are left in the end, we must persist until the end."
After listening to his third uncle's words, Xu Wen felt that he should comfort his third uncle. If he really did something outrageous, it would be difficult for the Wang family to catch him. Xu Wen picked up the wine glass and said to his third uncle:
"Third uncle, let's have another drink."
After the three of them put down their wine glasses, Xu Wen said:
"Uncle San, today's society is different from before. Although we can't lose the family, we can't take it too seriously. Now is the information society. People are exposed to a lot of information. Every family has their own
In terms of ideas, every family has its own difficulties. It’s difficult to unify everyone’s ideas!”
"Whatever is difficult must be done even if it is difficult. The family tradition must not be lost, and the family hatred must not be forgotten." The third uncle did not listen to Xu Wen's advice.
Hearing Third Uncle's attitude, Xu Wen knew that it was impossible for Third Uncle to give up the fight with the Wang family, so he could only remind him:
"Third uncle, it's okay to hold family meetings and so on, but you have to be careful not to go too far. If you are targeted like last time, you will be in trouble." The last time Xu Wen said was that they were going to use family methods to whip them.
clan affairs.
"Okay, I asked you to be the leader of the clan, but you didn't do it, and now you're here to teach me a lesson." The third uncle became a little angry.
"Third brother, Xiaowen didn't mean that. He was also doing good for our Xu family." The second uncle quickly smoothed things over.
"He is doing it for the Xu family's good, so am I not doing it for the Xu family's good?" The third uncle was still very angry.
Xu Wen felt that it was inappropriate to speak anymore, so he could only keep his mouth shut. The atmosphere at the wine table was a bit awkward. The three of them lowered their heads and drank for a while. Xu Wen handed his second uncle and third uncle a cigarette, and then
They lit it, taking the initiative to show weakness and apologize.
After taking two puffs of cigarette, Xu Wen said:
"Third uncle, don't be angry. Can I ask you something?"
"If you have anything to say, just say it." The third uncle was still a little hesitant to step down.
Xu Wen picked up the wine glass and clinked it with his third uncle and second uncle and said:
"Is there a man named Wang You in our village?"
"A member of the Wang family?" The third uncle raised his head and looked at Xu Wen suspiciously, as if he didn't understand how he could ask about a member of the Wang family.
"My surname is Wang, but I don't know if she is from our village." Xu Wen quickly followed.
"Although we are not very familiar with the Wang family, most of the Wang family members in the village know each other, but I have never heard of anyone named Wang You." The second uncle said as he took a sip of the wine in the glass.
"Do you just know his name? What does he do? Why do you need to ask about him?" You need to give me more information to help you think about it.
"I haven't seen him either. I heard that he is just a small contractor, and he usually does some work on construction sites." Xu Wen said.
"There are several contractors in the Wang family. Some are engaged in civil construction, some are engaged in decoration, and some are engaged in landscaping. I don't know which one you are asking about?" replied the third uncle.
"I heard that a big project was contracted recently. The hillside treatment of the Huangwang Highway landslide was under the name of Jiangbei No. 1 Highway Company." Xu Wen further explained.
"Oh, you said earlier that he was working on the landslide, didn't you understand? But is his name Wang You?" The third uncle looked at the second uncle and asked.
"We all call him Wang Jian, who knows his real name?" said the second uncle.
"Wang Jian? You said it was Wang Jian, the youngest son of Wang Mao's family, who was responsible for the landslide?" Xu Wen suddenly remembered his childhood enemy, the young master of the Wang family who was several years older than him.
"Yes, that's him. You fought with that little bastard a lot when you were a kid," said the third uncle.
"Oh, I remembered." Xu Wen suddenly remembered the origin of the name Wang Jian. He put his chopsticks on the table and said:
"I gave him the name Wang Jian. One time he said his name was Excellent You, so I said you are the Bitch of Bitch. After that, we started calling him Wang Jian. I remember chasing him at that time.
The whole village is calling him Wang Jian."
"Hahaha, you kid, if you hadn't gone out to serve as a soldier, maybe we would have killed everyone named Wang. At that time, you were the famous child king in our village." The third uncle said with a happy smile.
"Well, his father said back then that our Xu family would never be able to produce such a talent in our lifetime," the second uncle said.
The second uncle and the third uncle looked at Xu Wen at the same time. Xu Wen saw more trust in their eyes, but Xu Wen seemed to feel a little worry in this trust.
He had never talked about his life experience with his second uncle, third uncle, and younger siblings. The letter his father left for him was not sealed. He didn’t know if his younger siblings had read the letter. His second uncle and third uncle were his adoptive fathers.
Blood brothers, Xu Wen thought they should at least know the fact that they were not biological brothers.
Thinking of this, Xu Wen raised his glass and toasted his second uncle and third uncle with a glass of wine and said:
"Second uncle, third uncle, Xiaowen, I will never forget the kindness my parents showed me. I will definitely find out the truth about my parents' car accident and give you, my younger siblings, and the Xu family an explanation."
