Uncle An's uncle rejected Tao Qingbi's proposal. After he left, Tao Qingbi went to the backyard to talk to Tao Weiyun.

The hot wind hit his face, and Tao Weiyun frowned: "Niuniu, I think your grandfather is probably ill, but his condition is not serious. Your uncle is here to inquire about your parents and brother. He has never thought about you and Qi.

I’m going to visit your grandfather.”

Tao Qingbi breathed a sigh of relief after listening to his words: "Second brother, it's not that I am unfilial to my grandfather and grandmother. As a daughter, I always have to take care of my mother's face, and I will be full of filial piety towards them.

Grandfather's condition is not serious. If we go there, it will make the old man think of more things. Besides, my uncle has no intention of asking us siblings to go there, so we don't have to go up and do unnecessary things."

People in the Tao family, before An Erzhi got married, thought that the elders of An's family valued their daughters. After all, women from peasant families usually did not have the opportunity to be literate, let alone have their own names.

After An Erzhi married in, the Tao family realized that the An family had a good son who was smart and kind-hearted.

He was good at reading, and in his spare time, he was willing to teach his sisters at home how to read, and then asked the master at the village school to give the sisters formal names.

If Anjia's conditions were better, or if the family's thoughts were more organized, Uncle Anjia would also have the opportunity to take a step forward.

Unfortunately, in the end, for the sake of family harmony, Uncle An had no choice but to give up his studies and chose to become a wife.

In the evening, Tao Qingbi told Sister Ji Ba what Uncle An's uncle said. She thought about it for a while and said, "Let your third brother go find out the news tomorrow. If your grandfather is just a minor illness, you and Qier

You don’t even need to go to settle down.”

On the second day of the night, Tao Weicong was waiting at the gate of the yard. When he saw Tao Weiyun and Tao Qingbi returning home, he pulled Tao Qingbi under the shade of a tree to talk.

Tao Qingbi looked up at the hanging branches. She did not follow Tao Weicong inside, but took a step back intentionally: "Third brother, what do you want to tell me?"

"Niuniu, your grandfather is not sick. He just deliberately coaxed your brother-in-law to come and inquire about our family."

Tao Qingbi looked at him in surprise: "Our courtyard door is open every day, can we hide any special news?"

Tao Weicong took a step outside, looked at the people walking in the yard, and motioned for Tao Qingbi to follow him to the backyard.

Tao Qingbi followed him in surprise. After the two of them sat down under the eaves of the backyard, they asked, "Third brother, is there any other secret behind my grandfather's illness?"

"Yes. I don't want my sisters-in-law to know what I do."

"What did you do?"

"I went to Anjia's village to inquire about the news. I also asked some things about Anjia.

Your great-grandfather didn’t treat your great-grandfather very well, but your great-grandfather treated your great-grandfather very sincerely.”

Tao Weicong's trip was indeed not in vain. He always felt that Tao Yongcheng was a little unkind to Tao Yongneng, but after comparing the two brothers of the An family, he believed that Tao Yongcheng at least had Tao Yongneng as his younger brother in his heart.

When Tao Qingbi heard Tao Weicong's words, there was no look of surprise on her face. Tao Weicong asked strangely: "Niuniu, are you not surprised at all?"

"In the past few years, I have not been to my grandfather's house, but I have met my uncles and cousins. Sometimes they will tell me some family affairs."

Tao Qingbi heard more news, and she vaguely understood that Tao Yongcheng, the elder brother, was selfish in some aspects, but he had brotherly affection for Tao Yongneng.

He usually shows that he doesn't like to talk to Tao Yongneng, but when it comes to Tao Yongneng's life and death, he will be the kind of brother who will never let go.

Tao Weicong saw the expression on Tao Qingbi's face clearly and sighed: "Your third sister-in-law is right. Our two families are a little entangled with each other. In fact, it is quite normal. It is just a matter of the east wind prevailing over the west wind at this moment."

Tao Qingbi looked at him with wide eyes: "Third Brother, I think you must have misunderstood what Third Sister-in-law meant. The people in our room and the eldest brother have no entanglements with each other. At most, they have disagreements on some small things. They really don't agree with each other."

To the point where the east wind overpowers the west wind.”

"Niuniu, where is your youthful spirit? Your third sister-in-law is married, that's why you speak so thoughtfully. As a young lady, do you need to be so careful in what you say in front of your brother?"

Tao Qingbi listened to his words and stood up directly: "Third brother, I have already let it go in front of you. If I let it go any further, I will become an overbearing and unreasonable person. Do you like your sister to be an unreasonable person?"

After Tao Qingbi left, Lin Yue went to the backyard and saw Tao Weicong sitting under the eaves, and sighed: "What did you say to Niuniu? And you came to the backyard to talk?"

Tao Weicong rubbed his face, looked at Lin Yue and said, "I told her that her grandfather is not sick. I didn't say anything else about it."

"It's good for Niuniu to know that her grandfather is fine. We can naturally wait until the second uncle and the second aunt come back to discuss other matters."

Tao Weicong followed Lin Yue to the front yard and whispered: "I used to say that farmers are simple, but why do I think An's grandfather is also very thoughtful?"

Lin Yue glanced at him and let him talk all the way to the front yard. When he was approaching the front yard, Tao Weicong quickly stopped talking.

After dinner, the family sat in the courtyard and talked for a while, and then went back to their respective rooms.

At night, Tao Qingbi was sleeping on the bed, wondering why her grandfather wanted to coax his youngest son.

During the holidays, the An family's younger brother returned home. After he came out of his parents' yard, he met his second brother. The two brothers went to the side to talk. He soon learned about his father's pretending to be ill last time.

The younger brother of the An family was very angry, so his second brother dragged him away and said, "Brother, since the death of uncle, my father has become less angry. Otherwise, how could the elder brother let him deceive you?"

"No wonder my eldest brother told me that my father has been much better these days. My second sister and my second brother-in-law haven't come back. He asked me not to disturb brothers Niuniu and Qier."

An's younger brother had a sad look on his face: "Second brother, in dad's heart, is the uncle more important than my son and my second sister's daughter combined?

He knew clearly that the second sister and the second brother-in-law were not at home, yet he pretended to be sick and told me that he was a little worried about the second sister and the children."

The second eldest brother of the An family actually didn't understand what his parents were thinking. He pulled the younger brother of the An family and said, "Let's go to the second brother's house for dinner. Let's talk while we eat."

Brother An stopped, shook his head and said, "Second brother, I'd better hurry home. I won't be back this month."

After he left, the eldest son of the An family found the second eldest son of the An family and asked, "Where is the younger brother?"

"Brother, he's back."
