Xie Xiuwen is still very grateful to this uncle. At least before he took the scholar examination, he had a lot of help from this uncle.

My uncle is also a wonderful person. He knows that Xie Xiuwen is not favored at home, so he always goes directly to the school to find him.

They came and went, and even money was given for food.

When leaving, Xie Zheng asked his eldest son to send it off. Xie Xiuwen was stopped by his younger cousin halfway, saying that he had left something in the house and asked him to go back and get it.

Xie Xiuwen's eyes moved, knowing that his uncle had something to say to him alone.

"You are studying in Fucheng, and you can't do it without money. I heard that your in-law's family is living a good life now, and your wife has also made an income. But I also know the situation in your family, and your wife has a good temper and can handle it.

Do you have to come over?"

"Don't worry, uncle, everything is fine now. I also have all the income from the Braised Vegetable Restaurant in my hands. It's enough."

Xie Zheng nodded, but didn't fully believe it.

"If you don't have enough money, just talk. If you win the prize next year, it will be a blessing to our Xie family. Here are fifty taels of silver. You can take it with you. If you don't have enough money in the future, ask Douzi to come and get it."

What Xie Zheng used was "take" rather than "borrow". From this, we can see that this uncle sincerely treats his nephew Xie Xiuwen.

Xie Xiuwen bowed his head and said: "Thank you to my uncle for your support over the years. My nephew now has enough money. Don't worry, if there is really a shortage someday, I will definitely come and bother you."

Xie Zheng saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he stopped trying to persuade him.

"You have an idea, and your wife is also a good one. I have heard some things about her before, and your mother is anxiously making arrangements to get you a concubine. What do you think?"

Xie Xiuwen knew that Liu's infertility could not be hidden.

"Thank you, uncle, for remembering. I have no intention of taking a concubine. I only want to seek fame. Besides, I already have a good child at my knees. If it really doesn't work out, I will just look for a son-in-law in the future."

Xie Zheng shook his head and laughed: "I'm afraid your mother won't respond."

"It's her business whether she should take a concubine or not, and whether she takes a concubine or not is my business. Besides, I'm only going to take the scientific examination in more than half a year, and my father won't allow my mother to mess around."

Xie Zheng nodded, this is true.

His third brother, among other things, attaches great importance to reputation and future.

Nowadays, nothing is as important as Xie Xiuwen's scientific examination. I don't think the third sister-in-law will cause any trouble.

When Xie Zheng saw that he didn't accept the money, he knew that he must not be in trouble yet, so he repeatedly asked him not to hide anything from him again.

After Xie Xiuwen agreed, he left.

In fact, Xie Xiuwen understood.

After Guabao's accident, not only his brother-in-law's family, but also his two uncles' families did not send anyone to visit him.

The two uncles' families may be worried about being dragged down by Xie Cheng's family again, but Xie Zheng has never visited the house because of the temperament of his third brother and sister-in-law.

Given the narrow-mindedness of the third brother and his wife, even if Xie Zheng sent someone there, he would most likely think that they were just there to watch the fun, and they didn't really care about Guobao at all.

Xie Zheng saw that there was no movement at the eldest and second brother's house, so he did not move rashly.

In the final analysis, the feelings of the brothers are still divided.

As soon as the bullock cart entered the village, Xie Xiuwen excused himself that he still had things to do and left without entering the village.

Xie Xiuran snorted, turned around and said, "Third brother, have you seen it? He hasn't even won the imperial examination yet, so he doesn't take us seriously. If he does, he might still despise us."

"

Xie Laosan frowned: "Second brother is not that kind of person."

Xie Xiuran retorted: "Not now, let's see what happens in the future."

Xie Laosan ignored him, thinking he was stupid. The eldest brother was clearly deliberately trying to sow discord between him and the second brother.

When the two returned home, they found that the atmosphere at home was a bit strange.

Xie Laosan asked Wang in a low voice: "What happened?"

Mrs. Wang curled her lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "It's not your mother-in-law who is causing trouble again! You can't live a good life, but you have to force your second brother to take a concubine. Last time your second brother refused, this time you can't do it with your second sister-in-law."

Let’s talk about it again, two groups of matchmakers have left the house just now, what do you think my mother-in-law wants to do?”

Xie Laosan was also stunned. For things like taking a concubine, you have to get the consent of your second brother, right?

Besides, the second brother doesn’t have a son, but he and the eldest brother do, so why does he have to be a concubine?

Mrs. Wang pulled Xie Laosan's sleeve and said, "I think your mother-in-law is forcing the second sister-in-law to take out the shop."

Xie Laosan's heart skipped a beat, so he was threatening his second sister-in-law?

Mrs. Gao looked at the excitement on her face, looking at this and that, but she still couldn't hold it back: "Second brother and sister, the second brother is going to take the imperial examination. He has a bright future in the future. You can't leave him childless, right?"

Mr. Xie had a gloomy face and said nothing, but he obviously did not agree with his wife's actions.

Grandma Xie was thinking of directly proposing marriage and then forcing her second son to take over the house. This approach was indeed a bit despicable.

Liu Ruolan sat on the chair, lowered her head and said nothing. Behind her stood Sister-in-law Wang, with a protective look on her face, obviously not wanting her master to be wronged.

"Tell me, you can't help our Xie family continue the family lineage, nor can you help with the second son's education. We just take the initiative to take concubines, and we don't ask the second son to divorce you. This has already given your Liu family a lot of face.

, you are here with a grimace on your face, is it because our Xie family owes you the co-authorship?"

Liu Ruolan's heart trembled. What the old lady said was so serious that she couldn't bear it.

"Auntie, you have to listen to your husband's wishes when it comes to taking concubines. My husband just said yesterday that he only hopes to win the election and has no other ideas. Even if you want him to take a concubine, at least you have to wait until

After the provincial examination next year, right?"

Grandma Xie choked up. She didn't expect that this daughter-in-law, who was always docile and talkative, could say such a long list, and she couldn't refute it.

Grandma Xie subconsciously took a look at the old man, and then she noticed the sharp and dissatisfied gaze, and couldn't help but look away with a guilty conscience.

Why was she in such a hurry to take a concubine for Xie Xiuwen?

Do you really want him to have a son as soon as possible?

How is that possible!

She just wanted to make the second brother noisy, and she also wanted the second brother to indulge in beauty so that he would not be interested in taking the scientific examination. As long as he failed to win the exam, in two years Brother Hui would become a scholar, and the eldest brother would be

I will never be overshadowed by my second roommate again.

Therefore, Grandma Xie simply did not want Xie Xiuwen to be in the spotlight.

This kind of thinking is really unimaginable to ordinary people.

Even her bedmate, Grandpa Xie, never thought that his old wife would have such extreme thoughts.

After all, Xie Xiuwen is her biological son. I don’t know what she thinks, but she always hopes that this biological son will not do well. What is she trying to do?
