Autumn is here, and the weather is getting colder, but the hearts of the villagers in Niuwei Village are getting warmer, because this year's harvest is so good.
The golden rice on the fields swayed like waves in the autumn wind. This wonderful scene made the villagers grin from ear to ear, and they went to the fields to harvest vigorously every day.
Schools have also been suspended and will not resume until after the autumn harvest, because all available labor in every household has to go to the fields, even children, to help with the harvest.
Wei Sangen's family was not allocated land when they split up, so during such a busy harvest season, their family was the most leisurely.
Mrs. Wei then took the idea of their family and asked them to help with the autumn harvest.
In previous years, Mrs. Wei would do the same thing and ask them to help with the autumn harvest for free. However, this year everyone was at loggerheads and it was not easy for Mrs. Wei to come and ask them to help.
"Mom, you are an elder, what are you afraid of? Can they still kick you out?" Wei Sogen was lying leisurely on a chair, fanning himself, with a disapproving tone.
"Doesn't letting me come to their door mean that I bow to them?" Old Mrs. Wei held back her breath. She had been waiting for Wei Sangen's family to surrender before she broke up with them. After all, she was still their elder no matter what, and she froze. Because the younger generation should lower their heads and ease the relationship first, unexpectedly there was no movement, "They are indeed unfilial sons. It was right to separate them out in the first place."
Wei Sigan held a different opinion. He felt that he should not have listened to the eldest brother's advice and divided the third brother out alone. So now the only labor force left in the family is the second brother. This year's autumn harvest will be bountiful. The second brother and his family alone may not be able to handle the workload. By then, some good things will happen. The rice can only rot in the fields.
"Why didn't you dissuade us then?" Mrs. Wei thought it made sense.
Wei Sigan said angrily, "Mom, how could you have listened to me when you were so angry?"
Wei Sigan didn't want to continue talking about this topic. Anyway, no matter whether there was someone to do farm work or not, the family would not ask him to do it, and there would be no shortage of food for him, so he was too lazy to pay attention to it, put away his fan and stood up, looking at him lazily. Mrs. Wei asked confidently, "Okay, mother, I have no money, please give me some money."
"Didn't I just give it to you before? Why do you want it now?"
"Mom, I'm an adult now, and I have to socialize with friends from time to time. I don't have enough money to spend."
"When will you be willing to find a serious job?"
"When the eldest brother passes the exam, are you afraid that I won't have a job? Just ask the eldest brother to arrange a good job for me," Wei Sigan said with a smile.
Growing up, Mrs. Wei always told them that the money at home would be used for Dagen's education first, and Dagen would repay them later. However, Wei Sigen didn't believe it. He felt that with Wei Dagen's qualifications, he would never be able to pass the imperial examination, and only Wei Ergen would be able to do so. He and Wei Sangen were so stupid. He really believed in Mrs. Wei's words and stupidly did things for Wei Dagen. But anyway, it was not him, Wei Sogen, who was doing things like cows and horses, and he could also benefit from it, so he never refuted Mrs. Wei. If so, he would have a face of approval.
Wei Sigen took the money secretly given by Mrs. Wei and left with satisfaction.
However, Mrs. Wei made up her mind to go to Wei Sangen's house and ask them to help with the autumn harvest. The rest of the family had gone out to play, and there was no one to help with the farm work, so Sangen and his family could only help.
Old Mrs. Wei felt that she had bowed her head first, and it was natural that the Wei Dagen family should go down the steps, and then actively help with the farm work to make up for her generosity in bowing her head first.
Wei Cheyu and Wei Zhenzhen have been staying at home since classes were suspended and have not gone anywhere. Wei Cheyu is not interested in going out to play. Due to his health, he has no good friends in the village. Now that his health is much better, he is no longer the child who needed friends in the past. He would rather stay at home and write down the books that Master Hong has read. Come down.
Pens and inks were very expensive. Although Wei's father bought some for them to use when they went to school, because Master Hong did not force him to do so, Wei Cheyu saw other children writing with charcoal pens, so although he took them to school, he never used them. But Wei Zhenzhen didn't know the reason, so she didn't take it out to use, and followed him to write with charcoal, so that Master Hong thought that they didn't have pen and ink, so he just asked them to use charcoal to write on the wooden board or read silently.
Wei Cheyu didn't use pen and ink because he thought it was a waste to spend pen and ink on dictating in class. He planned to use it to dictate the books that Master Hong had read. After dictating, if there was any leftover, he would dictate the books that he had read in the previous life.
When Wei Cheyu wrote silently, he usually stayed in his own house, avoiding his father and mother. Wei's father and mother were illiterate, so they never noticed anything unusual about Wei Cheyu.
When they were at home, Mother Wei would occasionally take care of them at home, and occasionally accompany Father Wei to go hunting. When Mrs. Wei came to the door today, Mother Wei happened to be at home, clearing away the dishes after enjoying lunch with the children.
Mother Wei asked expressionlessly, "Is something wrong?"
"Where are the three?"
"Going hunting." Mother Wei actually didn't want to pay attention to Old Mrs. Wei, but after all, Old Mrs. Wei was Father Wei's biological mother, and there was no way she could close the door and prevent Old Mrs. Wei from coming in.
"What kind of hunting?! The family is so busy now, won't he come back to help?"
Looking at Mrs. Wei, she seemed to have forgotten what happened before, and looked like the relationship between them was still harmonious. Mother Wei was silent. She didn't know how to respond to such a shameless person.
Mrs. Wei thought to herself and said, "Forget it, it's okay if you're here. Come over and help at home. Then wait for Sangen to come back and tell him not to go hunting tomorrow and go home to help."
After the explanation, Mrs. Wei was about to leave. Seeing that Wei's mother did not follow, she scolded, "Why don't you leave? Do you want me to help you personally?"
Mother Wei wanted to speak harshly, but she finally held back and just sneered: "Sorry, we don't have time to help."
Mrs. Wei said with dissatisfaction, "Why don't you have time? You don't have any farm work!"
Wei's mother made a perfunctory excuse, "The child's father has to go hunting to support the family. I have to take care of the child at home, so I don't have time to help you."
"When can't we hunt? Now we need his help at home. After helping, we can hunt again." Before, Mrs. Wei didn't even pay attention to Wei Cheyu and the others out of the corner of her eyes. She was surprised when Wei's mother mentioned it and started to look at them. He found that Wei Cheyu's complexion seemed much better and his body looked healthier than before. "Brother Yu looks very healthy. Are you still sick during this time?"
Mrs. Wei said this to Wei Cheyu.
Looking at her grandmother like this, Wei Cheyu lowered her eyes and replied calmly, "No."
"That's very good. You don't need to take care of the children at home. The children are so old and can take care of themselves."
Wei Cheyu's eyes darkened, and he raised his head and was about to say something. Wei Zhenzhen, who had been standing next to her like a background image, weakly raised her hand and said, "Grandma, I'm not feeling well. I need my mother to take care of me at home."
"Little bastard, are you deliberately going against me?"
"I, I don't..." Wei Zhenzhen clutched her stomach and shivered, looking like a pitiful child, "I'm dizzy, I have a stomachache."
Old Mrs. Wei still had a vivid memory of Wei Zhenzhen's previous actions, and did not dare to look down on her or yell at her like she did before. She held back her temper and said coldly, "Are you sure you are really uncomfortable? Our Wei family I can’t afford to support the squeamish.”
She said threateningly, "Be careful I let them drive you away!"
Wei's mother immediately said, "Zhen Zhen is my daughter, no one will drive her away!"
Old Mrs. Wei was dissatisfied, "I don't admit it. Our Wei family doesn't raise money-losing people, so don't expect me to admit her!"
"Zhen Zhen doesn't need your support. Mother-in-law, have you forgotten that our family has been separated by you?"
"If Sangen is separated, he is still my son. He must still respect me as an elder and obey my words! Don't even think about disobeying me or severing this relationship! Otherwise, I will inform the clan and kill Sangen, this unfilial son."
Mother Wei was furious.
Wei Cheyu clenched his fists. He was not afraid of his grandmother's threat. As long as he passed the Tongsheng examination and proved that he had the ability to examine people, the clan would never give up on their family. However, he found that he could endure the abuse and suppression of others, but he could not. He endured the abuse and suppression of his parents by others, even if that person was his own grandmother.
At this moment, he felt that his actions were too slow.
He shouldn't lurk any longer. One year is enough, and he needs to speed up his actions.
Wei Cheyu stepped forward, with his back to Mother Wei, and his eyes were as cold as thousand-year-old ice as he looked at Old Mrs. Wei and said, "Grandma, you——"
He was interrupted before he finished speaking.
Wei Zhenzhen interrupted loudly and with a strong sense of presence, "Mom, my stomach hurts so much. It hurts like the day your uncle abandoned you and let you face the blind bear chasing you. Did I eat the wrong thing?"
Wei Cheyu was stunned. He originally wanted to tell the story about his uncle framing his brother, so that his grandmother would be wary of treating their family unscrupulously. Unexpectedly, Wei Zhenzhen would lead him to the matter first.
only……
Is it really okay to be so obvious?
Although he thought so, Wei Cheyu couldn't help but have a smile that he didn't even notice in his eyes.
Even though he refused to admit it, deep down in his heart, he felt that Wei Zhenzhen was a little cute like this.
Mrs. Wei gritted her teeth and looked at Wei Zhenzhen. She had always avoided talking about this topic, and did not give Wei's mother a chance to talk about it. She just wanted to use filial piety to suppress them. She did not expect that Wei Zhenzhen would dare to talk about it deliberately. At this moment, she was sure that Wei Zhenzhen He was deliberately going against her.
Mrs. Wei's face turned cold. It was natural for elders to beat younger ones. She felt that she did not need to restrain her temper, so she walked up to Wei Zhenzhen in three steps and wanted to hit him.
Her movements were sudden and fast, and Wei's mother, who was a little far away from Wei Zhenzhen, had no time to stop her.
Wei Cheyu looked ugly, and without thinking, he stepped forward to block Wei Zhenzhen's body, preventing Mrs. Wei from hitting her. However, his sleeve was pulled, and a force came from his waist. In an instant, he was behind Wei Zhenzhen.
This is Wei Zhenzhen,
She touched him.
At this moment, this idea suddenly flashed through Wei Cheyu's mind.
