u Sheng, another little girl was born. However, she passed away when she was two years old.Gou Sheng'er is a truly unique individual, cherishing his own life more than anything else.Even before, it wo...As expected, as soon as he finished giving the orders, he saw his master curled up in bed, covered in blankets, and shouted, “Bring me the blanket! You want to freeze me to death! And hurry up and serve dinner, I’m hungry, I want to eat!”
Long sighed inwardly, the former spirited and proud Third Master Wang was utterly ruined.
After getting out of prison, this kind of thing would happen often.
The actual master wasn't hungry or cold at all, he was simply terrified out of his wits. He was afraid of being thrown back into jail, so he refused to eat or drink and suffered through the hardship and cold!
For a time, because the master got angry, the entire courtyard was in chaos, until two o'clock in the morning, when the drunk master fell asleep, did everyone finally quiet down.
A rough-and-tumble yard boy, stealthily slipped to the back gate, slipping a handful of copper coins into the hand of the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper skillfully opened the back door and whispered, "Guizi, is your mother's illness any better"
The young man wryly smiled and shook his head, “My cough is still terrible. I’m worried about it, otherwise I wouldn't keep running back to see her, you know My sister is still young, I’m afraid she can't take care of our mother.”
"Alright, go early and come back early. Before I switch shifts tomorrow morning, remember to be back. Don't make me get scolded with you!"
"Don't worry, aunt, I'll bring you steamed buns with meat tomorrow morning!" The boy zipped out the back door and disappeared into the night...
The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Xianke Lai gradually began to welcome guests. Li Zhensheng also received the news he had been waiting for and couldn't help but smile.
Li Lao Er hugged Jia Yin and walked from the front. Seeing his elder brother smile strangely, he asked, "Elder Brother, is something the matter"
Li Zhensheng took his niece and led his younger brother into the room where he usually rested.
Today is the day Tao Hongying came to Xianke Lai to cook the second private dish. The old lady, not feeling at ease, left home and brought her granddaughter to help her daughter-in-law.
Old Li was sitting at the doorway of the kitchen, picking vegetables. When she saw her two sons carrying their granddaughter into the house, she instructed them, “Don't give Fu Niu any snacks! She just ate a lot and will be having dinner soon. Be careful not to overfeed her!”
"Understood, Mother," Li Zhensheng replied, but as soon as he entered the room, he opened a box of snacks for his young niece. "Pick your favorites to eat, but don't eat too much. Uncle One and Uncle Two need to discuss some matters."
"Okay, thank you Uncle," Jia Yin sat on the soft couch, picked a piece of horseshoe pastry, and nibbled at it. The crumbs that fell, she would pinch up with her two chubby fingers and put them in her mouth.
The adorable appearance of the niece made both Li Zhen and Li Lao Er smile.
Li Zhensheng poured tea and told Wang Sanye's situation. At the end, he smiled and said: "Originally, I guessed that something was wrong with him. With his proud temper, this kind of thing would definitely not be handled by any second housekeeper. Because even if he did something wrong and was caught, others would be helpless because of the Wang family."
But this time, he was clearly scared. He'd gone from a proud rooster to a rat in the gutter. So, I had someone look into it, and as expected, last time really rattled him.
Li Lao'er narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked, "Big Brother, do you want to start here and get revenge"
“Of course, when he has bad intentions, he should be prepared for this! Thinking of our years of knowing each other, I'll probably still give him some leeway. But now that he wants to scheme against you and Suijin Beach, there’s no way I can let him off easy!” Li Zhen said coldly.
A flash of ruthlessness crossed his eyes before he instructed his younger brother, “You are now an Earl and must attend court. This is the face of our Li family. You needn’t meddle in this matter. Leave it to me to arrange it, but you must be clear on every detail from start to finish.”
"After all, our lives will get better and better in the future, and there will be more people like Wang San Ye. Our Li family can choose not to provoke others, but if anyone dares to covet us, you also have to have the ability to chop off their limbs, understand!"
"Understood!" Li Lao'er quickly nodded, knowing his older brother was teaching him with heart.
"Alright then, let's talk about how to discipline Wang San Ye! Since he's scared out of his wits, maybe we can achieve this without bloodshed and teach him a lesson!" Li Zhensheng took a sip of tea. "I'll contact Huo Ming tonight and have the officers go to the Wang family and stir up some trouble!"
"Is Big Brother going to torture him slowly, scare him" Li Lao Er asked, vaguely understanding his older brother's plan.
“Yes, now we're in the shadows, and the Wang family is out in the open.” Li Zhensheng smiled, playing with the teacup in his hand. “So we don't have to rush, we'll take it slow. Some things that seem insignificant can be disastrous for a terrified person. Wang San Ye is now…”
"A startled bird!" Jia Yin, who was nibbling on snacks in fascination, couldn't help but interject, causing both Li Zhensheng and Li Laoer to look over in surprise.
Li Zhensheng picked up his niece and laughed, "Aiyo, my little Funiu is really so smart, but she's a scaredy-cat! We won't fight or hurt him, let him scare himself to death!"
Jia Yin laughed, showing two rows of pearly white teeth. Her eyes sparkled with little stars as she nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes, Uncle is the best!"
She listened for so long that her admiration for her great uncle was like the endless flow of the Yellow River!
To this end, she specially offered her remaining half of the snack.
Li Zhensheng wasn't disgusted. He took the snack in one bite and smiled at his younger brother, "I was worried before that the children at home were being taught to be too kind and honest, but now I'm not afraid! With Fu Niuer being so smart, she's worth ten of them!"
Li La Er was also ashamed. He still had to have his big brother break down the matter bit by bit before he could understand it clearly.
My little niece, nibbling on a snack and listening to the commotion, understood everything. She's really not even as smart as a child!
Li Laerou rubbed his niece's hair and smiled, "That said, I can hold on for another ten years. When Funiu grows up, I'll be relieved!"
"What a disappointment!" Li Zhensheng glared at his younger brother. "As your elder, you don't even know how to protect the child, and instead rely on the child to protect you."
He said it that way, but he still felt sorry for his younger brother. Sighing, he continued: “Big brother knows our family is just farmers. What you’ve learned and seen growing up is nothing compared to those from wealthy families. It's really too much to ask of you to carry the weight of the family.”
"But we have to look forward, our family will only get better. The children are still young, so my four brothers will have to work harder! You do a good job as an official, speak less and observe more. For anything that brings honor to the family, you should take charge."
“As for something like the Wang family’s affair, leave it to me. The third brother is honest and hardworking; just make sure his family is well taken care of. As for the fourth brother, he definitely has to follow the Marquis to battlefields and sharpen his skills. Our brothers are united. We don't need much, just three to five years, and at least in this territory of Xin Du, no one will dare to bully our Li family!”
"Big brother…" Li Lao'er's voice choked with emotion, his heart feeling heavy and constricted.
He knew that his older brother was planning to take on all the dirty work and scandals of the family. Even if anything happened in the future, if the Li family couldn't solve it, they would just abandon him, the eldest son. That way, the Li family would still be known as a kind and honorable family throughout Tianwu.
Just like a gecko shedding its tail to survive, Big Brother is willing to be the discarded tail, protecting his family's safety and well-being.d, going straight to the little girl and carefully kissing her fair cheek. 。“Little girl, I miss you!” “Yeah, yeah!” Jia Yin nodded her head vigorously, her face beaming with seriousness and joy, “I m...
