Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

The old lady was sitting on the kang, staring blankly at her eldest son and daughter-in-law, saying nothing, with a hint of sadness in her eyes. She has loved her boss since she was a child and has been very kind to him. Even when it comes to a daughter-in-law, she always finds a girl from a relative. When Mr. Yu came in, the old lady was very kind to Mr. Yu. The provincial eldest son was caught in a dilemma between his daughter-in-law and his mother.

When the old lady's Jingming was born, the old lady loved it so much that she hugged her all day long, fearing that the child would suffer even the slightest grievance. But how can you imagine that this child who has been held in the palm of your hand since childhood is now so useless.

The old lady looked at Qing Nian again. She had been dissatisfied with this second child since she was a child. She favored the eldest and third child in many things. The one who makes the most money in the family is Qingnian, and the one who contributes the most is Qingnian. But such a son was kicked out by himself. What does it mean to be self-inflicted and unable to live? Isn’t it like this?

The old lady really regrets it now.

When Mrs. Yu saw that the old lady was silent, she turned to Qingnian and begged, "Qingnian, you are the child's second uncle. You don't want to see the child destroyed like this. My sister-in-law is an outsider, no?" My surname is Tao. Your eldest brother has the same father and mother as you. You can’t just watch your eldest brother lose his son, right? You can’t just watch your eldest brother’s family live on the street. Will he be beaten to death?"

Qingnian ignored her, just looked back at the old lady, and then said, "Nothing's wrong, I just got angry and a little angry. I'll have someone send me medicine later, and it'll be fine for a few days." After that, Qingnian stood up and walked out of the room with Huang Qi without looking at anyone.

Yu wanted to stop him, but was bypassed by Qingnian. Seeing Qing Nian go out, Yu shouted, "Master, stop the second brother quickly, he is the only one who can save us from this matter."

By the time Qingfeng came to his senses, Qingnian had already left. Qingfeng was also a little stunned, "Mom, what do you think we should do about this?"

The old lady raised her head, glanced at the boss coldly, and then lowered her head, "Just do whatever you want. I'm old and useless. If they want my life, just take it. You guys, do whatever you want. "My son is yours. Whether he lives or dies is your business. It has nothing to do with me. Your father is coming back soon. When he comes back, we will separate our families and live our own lives."

Mrs. Yu suddenly got up from the ground, "You want to separate the family? How can it be so easy? If you don't rescue my son, who dares to separate the family?"

Feng Shi over there quit, and came up to Yu Shi and shouted, "Your son got into trouble, why should everyone else suffer with it? Let me tell you, it's better to just let him die." If you get involved in gambling, what future will you have? Even if you don't die, if you have money, you will gamble, and if you don't have money, you will be a murderer sooner or later." Over the past few years, Mrs. Yu has often bullied her, but this time Mrs. Feng couldn't stand it any longer.

The two sisters-in-law immediately started arguing in front of the old lady. The angry old lady coughed again, pointed outside and said, "Get out of here. You can make noise wherever you like, not here."

Not to mention the quarrels in the Tao family's old house, Qingnian brought Huang Qi back home, met Huixin and Zixuan, and told them what happened at the old house with a straight face.

After Huixin heard this, she was inevitably a little worried, "My husband, do you really not care about that? After all, these are the parents who gave birth to you and raised you. Could it be that my husband could not bear to see them grow old and live in exile?" From the street?”

Hui Xin is just like that, too soft-hearted. She has been married to Qingnian for more than ten years. Except for some hardships when she was in the Tao family at the beginning, she has never suffered any grievances since then. Qingnian's treatment of Huixin was like holding it in his hands and hurting her. Coupled with the care of the Xu family, Huixin had not suffered much in her life. Therefore, she is more tolerant and not so sharp in her dealings.

Qingnian shook his head, "Although they have been unwilling to accept me these years, after all, they are my biological parents who gave birth to me and raised me. After all, I can't bear to see them suffer. However, I will not help them save that old house. Yes, that was the punishment they deserved for their arrogant children. If they had not doted on their eldest brother and doted on Jing Ming, I would not have had the disaster today. I had just asked Angelica to find a house in the town. It doesn’t matter whether it’s renting or renting, we can just wait and take care of the old couple, we can’t let them live outside.”

After hearing Qingnian's words, Jinghan admired Qingnian in her heart. If it were another person, he would have suffered so much in the Tao family, and then be forced out and start a new family. Now that something is going on in the old house, it would be strange to clap your hands and watch the excitement. It is rare for Qing Nian to be able to take care of the care of the elderly and be willing to support the elderly at this time.

"What your husband means is to wait for the house to be taken away before picking up the two old people, right? The old couple are quite old. What if something happens? Will anyone say anything to my husband? Unfilial?" Huixin was afraid that some people would say that celebrating the new year was unfilial and would make the old man sick.

Qingnian snorted, "Unfilial? Who is unfilial? Me or them? I didn't go out to gamble and then have people come to collect debts. I didn't steal the house deed to pay off the debts. Over the years, the old couple never thought about me as their son. Now that I am willing to settle them, it can be regarded as repaying their kindness in raising them." Qingnian is not a cruel person. If the old house is willing to ease the relationship over the years, Qingnian will also help this time.

"Little uncle, what about your brother and sister-in-law? What should they do?" Jinghan couldn't help asking, she wanted to know Qingnian's plan.

"They? What is their relationship with me? In the past ten years, have they had me as a brother in their hearts? They didn't even come to their door, so how can I care about the brotherhood? They have their own faults. Who told them to spoil their son and not discipline him well?" Speaking of it, Qingnian was also full of resentment. The actions of his parents and brothers really hurt him.

"Since my husband has made up his mind, we will naturally listen to him. Okay, don't think about these annoying things. It's rare for Jinghan and Zixuan to come here, so let's have a happy meal and then let them go home." Huixin persuaded softly. She was a gentle person. Whatever Qingnian did was fine with her.

Qingnian forced a smile, "Isn't it? Let's not talk about this today. Those people can do whatever they want. Zixuan, you have to have a drink with your uncle later."

Zixuan smiled. "That's easy. Zixuan will have a drink with your uncle."

The food in the kitchen was ready, so everyone ate together. Zixuan accompanied Qingnian and drank a lot of wine. After eating and drinking, Jinghan and his wife came out of Tao's house and walked back.

"Jinghan, do you think your uncle will really not care about what's going on over there? Why do I feel like my uncle is angry? Waiting for him to calm down, will he regret not helping?" Zixuan asked as he walked.

"I'm afraid so, after all, they are all members of the Tao family. However, this matter is really difficult to handle. If my uncle really helps this time, what about the future? Gambling is not something else. It's hard to quit once it becomes an addiction. What if my uncle helps to pay off the gambling debts this time, will Jingming go to gamble again in the future? In that case, let alone my uncle's family, even if he has a mountain of gold and silver, he can't stand it." Jinghan shook her head, thinking that the matter was difficult to handle.

"Also, I haven't heard of gambling houses in this town before, how come there are gambling houses now? This is what I find most strange. Uh, don't the government care about these things?" Jinghan looked at Zixuan in some surprise. Jinghan was not very clear about the laws of the court.

"Well, there is really no such thing in the court's laws, so it's hard for the government to intervene. Besides, people who can open gambling houses usually have some backers behind them, otherwise, they can't suppress those who come to make trouble. I just don't know who is behind this, otherwise, this matter is not difficult to handle." The road was relatively quiet at night, Zixuan took Jinghan's hand, and the maid and the servant followed behind.

"Then let's find Uncle Ye, he knows a lot of people, he should be able to find out. But we just need to ask around, don't do anything for the time being. If the uncle really wants to help them, we'll talk about it later." Jinghan leaned towards Zixuan, and the two of them got closer. "Let's go, it's a bit cold today, hurry home."

So everyone walked back quickly and returned to the Xu family. The old man and the others were not asleep, and were waiting for Zixuan and his wife in the house. Seeing Zixuan and his wife come back, the old lady couldn't help but ask about Huixin's situation.

Jinghan told the story of Qingnian and the Tao family's old house.

"I don't know what's going on with the Tao family. Qingnian is such a good child, but they are so hard-hearted that they don't care about him. Instead, they love and pamper the useless one. What's going on now? Has he become a bad boy? Children need to be taught from a young age. We don't ask them to have great achievements, but at least they should be upright. Alas, when we were in the village, the men would go out to drink and play cards when they had nothing to do in the winter, but I've never heard of any family going to the gambling house and losing so much money? It's really a sin." The old lady couldn't help but complain.

"What kind of thing is this? The child of the old Tao family caused trouble, but Qingnian was asked to clean up the mess. What does Tao Qingfeng think? Does he really think Qingnian is a face? Does he really think we are easy to bully? No, Qingnian can't be in charge of this matter. Whatever happens to them, it has nothing to do with Qingnian." The old lady said angrily.
