Chapter 1303 Chapter 1303: Mind-set (Part 2) [Please vote]
Cui Xiong was in awe of this grandfather whom he had never met.
"I want you because..."
Reason told Cui Xiong that it could not be Detsu, but Ermi's expression was so weird that he had to abandon his reason and think.
Cui Mi nodded affirmatively: "That's what you think."
Cui Xiong's Adam's apple rolled, he swallowed hard, and murmured: "It's impossible, right? Is he deliberately irritating his father?"
It seems that this guess is more credible.
Why did my grandfather step in and take over their brothers?
The brothers and sisters in the uncle's lineage are the grandsons of the maternal grandfather.
"It seems that it's because my cousin and the others don't have the qualifications to practice..."
Cui Mi said the problem is not complicated.
Cui Xiong: "...My father will not agree. Even if my father agrees, my grandparents and elders in the clan will not agree."
Even if the grandparents prefer their cousins and have always been indifferent to their brothers, it does not mean that they will allow their grandchildren to become other people's grandchildren. Mrs. Cui is not that depressed! It was unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally, and Cui Xiong didn't take it seriously.
Take a peek and see the whole leopard.
From this detail, we can also see that the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law is very poor.
Cui Xiao and Cui Zhi are not the only ones who cannot handle the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law well?
Cui Zhi himself also has a daughter.
Cui Zhi loves this daughter most.
The eldest daughter stayed with her for three more years after she got her hairpin, and she was not ready to get married until she was eighteen. Just to add her dowry, she spent 40% of Cui Zhi's private treasury, plus the things she had accumulated since she was born, it was truly a beautiful girl. However, the choice of son-in-law was not the one Cui Zhi chose from thousands of people.
I was dissatisfied with my son-in-law back then, and I hate him even more today!
"Two gentlemen, please save my husband."
Not long after brothers Cui Xiong and Cui Mi sat down to reminisce, someone came quickly. Cui Xiong was about to scold him when the man suddenly knelt down with a plop. He raised his face, but it was an unfamiliar face.
Cui Xiong asked: "Which family do you belong to?"
Cui Mi was somewhat impressed by this face: "It belongs to the Yuan family."
To be precise, he is the confidant around Xiaolang of the Yuan family.
"Why are you so panicked, but something happened?"
As soon as Cui Mi reminded him, Cui Xiong roughly guessed it.
The only Yuan family that has a closer relationship with the Cui family is the family where the eldest sister married. Thinking that something happened to my sister, Cui Xiong immediately sat up straight and asked the person who came: "Tell me slowly, what kind of rescue? Is something wrong with my sister or my brother-in-law?"
No matter which one it is, it's terrible.
Cui Mi calmly stepped forward and was helped up by someone else.
In just a few breaths, his expression went from relaxed, solemn, gloomy, to extremely sullen. The fingers holding the visitor's wrist continued to tighten, leaving bruises and bruises in an instant. The servant screamed in pain, and Cui Mi finally came to his senses and let go: "Keep talking!"
The servant wiped away his tears and said, "Our master has been beaten to death."
Who dares to kill the young master of the Yuan family?
Cui Xiong stood up and said, "Hurry and lead the way."
He walked so fast that he didn't notice the flash of embarrassment on the servant's face, and finally gritted his teeth and led the way. Cui Mi had a cold face and followed slowly. The Yuan family was not a small family in the southwest Qi Kingdom, but the Yuan family's eldest son was outstanding among the younger generation. The "Master Lang" in the mouth of his servants was his fifth youngest brother. The brothers didn't have much contact with Yuan Wulang. They heard that their father's favorite candidate for marriage proposal was Yuan Dalang, and somehow it turned out to be Yuan Wulang.
Before meeting this brother-in-law, Cui Xiong had countless possibilities flashing through his mind. He never expected to see his father here.
To be precise, it was the father holding the sword.
Cui Xiong stopped, wondering whether he should cross the threshold.
"Why is father here?"
Also, where is my brother-in-law?
There was a commotion in the house, a few low tables fell to the floor, and a faint smell of powder floated in the air. Yuan Dalang, who had met him a few times, stood in front of his father, and the two stood in a confrontational posture. In the corner behind Mr. Yuan's family, Cui Xiong finally saw his disheveled brother-in-law and...two trembling female relatives with disheveled hair.
How does this posture look like catching someone raping?
Cui Xiong and his two brothers arrived, and the Yuan brothers looked even worse.
An eye knife was thrown at the servant.
Ask him to find reinforcements, and he brings in two people named Cui?
The Cui brothers have come, and it's too late to say anything now. Yuan Dalang said: "Two Cui Langs came at the right time. Please advise your father well. Don't get angry, or you will be hurt by your anger. What a big deal." The two families can sit down and discuss matters, so why bother wielding swords? If something is hurt, wouldn’t it hurt the harmony between the two families? "
Cui Xiong couldn't care less about the conflict with his father.
"Father, what are you doing?"
Cui Zhi refused to answer and turned to Yuan Wulang in the corner.
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"
Looking at Yuan Wulang's appearance, Cui Xiong couldn't hold back his smile at all. Although he has not married yet, it does not mean that he does not understand anything. Looking at the posture in front of him, he knows that his brother-in-law has a bad mouth.
Yuan Wulang did not dare to take the lead and hesitated.
Only then did Cui Xiong see that his hair crown had been cut off by a sharp sword, there were bruises and sword marks on his face, and there was fear in his eyes. Needless to say, the "culprit" is the person next to him. Yuan Wulang's embarrassing performance made Yuan Dalang lose his face. He felt quite embarrassed and said: "My brother came with me to accompany you. Cui Gong suddenly came to the door and drew his sword to bully him when he disagreed. Although a father-in-law is like a father and a son, it is natural for a father to teach his son. But they didn’t come up to kill anyone…”
"Is this girl of the Cui family someone you can bully?" Cui Zhi, who had been silent for a long time, finally said, "Why don't you ask your good brother what he did here and what he said!"
Yuan Dalang was a little embarrassed.
To put it bluntly, this is what happened in the younger brother’s room, how could it be discussed in public? He turned away his face and said unnaturally: "It's just that the elders in the family took pity on my brother and were worried that he would have no one to take care of him outside, so they gave him two younger maids to take care of him. Cui Gong and his wife are deeply affectionate, but they can't ask anyone else. That’s the case, it’s too overwhelming…”
He thought Cui Zhi was angry because he accidentally caught his son-in-law playing with his maid... This matter was indeed worth getting angry from a father's point of view, but it was just a matter of anger. Why draw a sword to hurt someone? Where is this not commonplace?
If a son-in-law is not allowed to take concubines, he should make an agreement when choosing a son-in-law, instead of coming over to make a big fuss afterwards, which is disrespectful!
What's more, Yuan Wulang didn't take any concubines either.
The two maids have no status and cannot be regarded as concubines.
Cui Zhi sneered: "You say it, or should I?"
Yuan Wulang trembled when he heard this and buried his head behind the maid next to him, wishing he could crawl into the cracks in the ground. Yuan Dalang felt a little strange, but he calmed down and protected his own people first.
Cui Zhidao: "Okay, if you don't tell me, I will!"
He did not know in advance that his son-in-law was also coming here. Cui Xiong was angry, so he thought about asking his daughter and son-in-law how they were doing.
As a result, I caught my son-in-law having fun.
You won't be too angry just to have fun - the elder Yuan family can give Yuan Wulang maids, and he can also give his daughter some clean and enjoyable company. It's not a big deal if the daughter wants to live with her, and if she doesn't want to, she can go home with Li. Then he heard Yuan Wulang say something stupid, and Cui Zhi chose to draw his sword in anger.
Yuan Dalang looked at his younger brother out of the corner of his eye.
The younger brother lowered his head and shrank his neck guiltily.
This scene made Yuan Dalang feel bad.
As it turns out, it's not good.
Yuan Wulang's original words are as follows: [...How can that little woman from the Cui family be as nice as you two? She got married and had nothing to do. She was looked at in private and told that she couldn't have children... She has a father like that, and she can't even divorce her... You two should try your best to conceive one for me later, and when the baby is born, you will say it was her... What's the use if she doesn't agree? Such a useless character...]
[…Why does it have to be hers? 】
[Guess how much dowry she has? 】【If she has nothing to do, Mrs. Cui will ask for the dowry back. It is a helpless move for the mother to plan like this...】
Cui Zhi couldn't stand hearing this.
Yuan Dalang looked at his younger brother in the corner in disbelief.
The younger brother hesitated and said: "...I don't want to do that either. If she can give birth, how can she have these annoying problems?"
The prosperous family also has troubles, that is, not enough money.
This dowry is very important to Yuan. The dowry Cui Zhi prepared for his daughter was not pots, pans, coffins and bedding. Ninety percent of it was fertile land for gold, silver and jewelry shops. They were all high-quality assets, and their annual output was more than the net profit of the entire Yuan family in two or three years.
No matter what, Cui can't take it back.
The couple had a good relationship at first.
Reaching this point is completely caused by the other party's inability to produce it.
"You can't let your younger brother die, right?"
Yuan Dalang put his hand on his forehead in despair, his face turned red with shame. A son-in-law plotting dowry is far more shameful than a father-in-law beating a son-in-law! This incident not only exposed Yuan's moral problems, but also brought to light the economic problems of not being well-off...
"Wan Sheng will definitely give Cui Gong an explanation for this matter." Yuan Dalang was angry, but he could not let Cui Zhi kill his younger brother. "Because of the many years of friendship between the two families, I ask Cui Gong to forgive my younger brother."
Cui Zhi felt that his blood pressure was a little erratic.
"Big Bear, Ermi, you go get pens and ink."
Yuan Dalang immediately realized that something was wrong and stepped forward to stop him.
"Mr. Cui, why is this happening?"
Cui Zhi sneered: "Why do you think this is so? Get out of the way!"
He immediately wrote a letter with radical words that could only be pointed at someone's nose and cursed him, and threw it in front of Yuan Wulang for him to sign.
"My sister-in-law may not be willing."
Cui Zhi is too arbitrary!
"That's not what you should worry about."
Yuan Wulang looked at this piece of paper and was stunned for a long time. Then he suddenly jumped up like a fish thrown into hot oil. The veins on his forehead popped out. He blushed angrily and said, "Why? You Cui girls were wrong first. Why?" Why are you treating me like this? Do you think your daughter just can’t give birth? She still doesn’t know anything about the wild man, and I didn’t tell her!”
Cui Mi couldn't help but stepped forward and pushed him away.
"Don't slander my sister!"
"What slander?" Yuan Wulang was so angry that he almost burst into tears. He pointed at his eyes and said, "I can see it clearly with my two eyes! She didn't choose the son-in-law your father liked, and chose me instead. What's going on here? Isn’t it a bit tricky?”
Cui Xiong: "???"
Yuan Dalang: "???"
Yuan Wulang realized what he had said and couldn't help but slap himself. His regret was palpable and he insisted: "I'm not the only one who made the mistake. Either I'll give you fifty for each, or I'll just pretend that nothing happened. Why?" Just hit me?”
Cui Xiong looked at his father, who had a subtle expression.
Cui Zhi took a deep breath: "Who is that person?"
"It seems that she is a follower of the Eternal Life Cult...she has to give alms every month..." Yuan Wulang simply broke the pot and threw it away. It was indeed his fault to calculate Cui's dowry, but Cui's daughter was not completely innocent. If she was embarrassed, she would be embarrassed as well. "There is a history. It’s time.”
When he heard the words "Eternal Life Sect", Cui Zhi's expression was very exciting.
Yuan Dalang almost broke his voice and his voice was trembling.
He asked in disbelief: "Have you been going back and forth for a while?"
Why haven't you mentioned it?
Yuan Wulang said: "...we had contact before we got married...I once saw them talking and laughing outside the temple."
He was also shocked when he got engaged to Ms. Cui.
There's no way that Miss Cui doesn't know that he likes to play.
A young son who is a bit carefree and has no inheritance rights. Didn't he choose him just to manipulate him? Even if she associates with a wild man after marriage and doesn't know anything about it, he can't let it go.
This pattern is not uncommon in this circle.
As long as the couple completes the important task of carrying on the family line, it is not a shocking thing to have several lovers in private. As long as they don't make a fuss and stick to the bottom line - the bottom line is that the blood of their children is not mixed.
Brother Cui Xiong swallowed and looked at his father.
I hope the other party can come up with an idea.
Speaking of giving alms, my sister does have this habit, usually on the first and fifteenth day of every month. She did have close contacts with several handkerchiefs who believed in the Eternal Life Cult. Yuan Wulang was afraid that the father and son would not believe it, so he said: "In order to develop more inner believers, the Eternal Life Sect specially raises good-looking servants and maids, and coaxes them to donate more money... Do you know?"
Cui Xiong was upset: "You know it quite clearly!"
Yuan Wulang said: "My mother-in-law is..."
He has also played with these people, so he naturally knows the inside story.
But before he could finish his words, Yuan Dalang quickly covered him with quick eyes and hands.
Cui’s father and son: “…”
Yuan Wulang used his strength to pry Dalang's fingers apart and breathed: "...most of these people are slaves."
Of course, a slave cannot be Cui Zhi's son-in-law.
Only then did he choose himself to be the enemy.
Yuan Dalang didn't want to hear it anymore.
If you continue talking, the faces of both families will be torn apart.
"Mr. Cui, why don't we just...play fifty boards each?"
The Cui family didn't mention that their family coveted the dowry, and they didn't care about the private life of Cui's daughter, so the two families just pretended that nothing happened?
Cui Mi said: "Don't worry, you have to listen to what my sister has to say. Fortunately, I can't let you tell me everything..."
Yuan Dalang sneered: "That's okay."
This farce begins with a tiger's head and ends with a snake's tail.
"Er Moose, what do you know?"
Cui Zhi used a determined tone.
Cui Mi didn't know where to start for a while.
The three siblings are getting older, their genders are different, and their contact is not as close as when they were young. In addition, the future is chaotic, so Cui Mi doesn't know much about his sister's future. I had a brief contact with Yuan Wulang just now, but I saw bits and pieces. Yuan Wulang saw his sister talking and laughing with someone. The appearance of that person... His appearance was exactly the same as the young scribe in front of his grandmother's grave...
That is to say—
The young man Yuan Wulang saw was actually his grandfather?
Cui Xiong said angrily: "Then he slandered my sister's reputation?"
Isn't this just a misunderstanding?
It’s a misunderstanding on my sister’s part, and Yuan Wulang is really bad!
Cui Mi whispered: "No."
Cui Xiong raised his **** and sat back down: "Huh?"
