Cheng Hui couldn't bear it and immediately stepped forward, making the same move as he did to greet Cheng Xiuwen.
But when he walked to Cheng Xiuwen, he blocked him there and threatened him secretly.
"Watch your mouth, you know what you should and shouldn't say, otherwise..."
Cheng Hui made a hand knife motion, and Cheng Xiuwen watched his movements, pursed his lips and said nothing, with a dark light flashing in his eyes.
"Let's go, your brother and sister-in-law are looking for you." Cheng Hui hooked Cheng Xiuwen's shoulders familiarly and led him towards the direction where Li Zheng was.
It was as if he and Cheng Xiuwen were biological brothers.
"Li Zheng, don't you think Cheng Xiuwen is doing well? Look at his face, and you will know that our family has not treated him badly." Cheng Hui said while patting Cheng Xiuwen on the shoulder.
The force was so strong that Cheng Xiuwen was almost beaten until he coughed, but Cheng Xiuwen held back.
He can't cause trouble to his elder brother and sister-in-law, although he also wants to live with them.
But now is the time of drought and famine. Food is so precious. He has one more mouth to eat.
If he eats a little, he has to ask his elder brother, sister-in-law and Naituanzi to eat less.
"Xiu Wen, Uncle Hu asked you, your brother gave your uncle Chenggui two taels of silver and five pounds of game for a month, and your uncle Chenggui gave them to you?"
Hu Li was tapping his pipe and looking at Cheng Xiuwen with a kind smile.
Cheng Xiuwen raised his head and glanced at Cheng Hui, as if he didn't expect the father and son to be so capable of telling lies with their eyes open.
He could tell such lies. He hesitated for a moment and nodded hesitantly.
Song Yutong and Cheng Hanyan both looked at Cheng Xiuwen. They both noticed Cheng Hui next to Cheng Xiuwen, and also noticed that Cheng Hui's hand on Cheng Xiuwen's shoulder was exerting slight force.
Just as Cheng Hanyan was about to walk over and pry Cheng Hui's hand away, Song Yutong held him back and shook her head towards Cheng Hanyan.
"Xiuwen, if you are threatened, just blink." Song Yutong looked at Cheng Xiuwen with encouraging eyes.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Xiuwen glanced at her and immediately lowered his head.
Song Yutong patted Cheng Hanyan on the shoulder, whispered in his ear: "I'm afraid Xiuwen will help their family."
Cheng Hanyan also agreed very much with Song Yutong's speculation. At least judging from the current situation, he would definitely help Cheng Hui's family.
"Xiuwen, before you answer, I have something to say to you. In order for you to live a good life at Chenggui's house, your brother will send twenty or thirty taels of silver to his house a year. If this money is really allocated,
It doesn't matter if we continue to send so much money to his house now."
"You know there is a famine now. If they ask for more than a dozen bags of grain from us now, we will give it to you if you get half of it. If you can't eat it, then we would rather feed you ourselves."
What Song Yutong said was very pertinent. It didn't seem like he was trying to sow discord. He was always considering Cheng Xiuwen.
If Cheng Gui gets the money and gives it to Cheng Xiu Wen, then Cheng Xiu Wen will only think about staying in Cheng Gui's house. After all, so much money and game in a month are all his, and it won't affect him if he can eat and clothe himself.
The life of brother and sister-in-law.
But if Chenggui takes the money and refuses to give it to him, and he doesn’t have enough food and clothing, and Chenggui still uses his name every day, asking for money and food, forcing his brother to take the money, and making trouble whenever there is nothing wrong, then he
He definitely doesn’t want to stay at Chenggui’s house.
Cheng Xiuwen originally thought that since there was a famine in the village, he would die at his uncle's house and not waste the food from his brother and sister-in-law's house.
But if his brother had to provide more food to support his uncle's family because of his choice, it would go against his original intention.
He looked up at Song Yutong, pursed his lips and hesitated.
However, Cheng Gui and Cheng Hui, father and son, had started to curse, saying that Song Yutong was deliberately threatening Cheng Xiuwen and not letting him tell the truth.
Cheng Xiuwen was still hesitant at first, but when he heard the two father and son curse Song Yutong, Cheng Hanyan also looked at him with a look of hatred, and suddenly he could no longer hesitate.
"No, they didn't give me anything. I didn't have enough to eat at my uncle's house for a long time. My uncle and my cousin would beat me when they were in a bad mood. If you don't believe me, just look at it."
Cheng Xiuwen immediately rolled up his sleeves, revealing the scars from being whipped and the many bruises on his body.
There are different traces of old and new, obviously it has been whipped by the father and son for a long time to vent their anger.
Cheng Hui immediately grabbed Cheng Xiuwen's neck, "Don't talk nonsense to me and smear me."
Cheng Hanyan had quick eyesight and quick hands. He stepped forward, grabbed Cheng Hui's hand and twisted it with his backhand. He kicked him several times and punched him several times to relieve his anger.
"Go to your sister-in-law to repair the text!" Cheng Hanyan was obviously very angry. He turned his wrists to move his muscles, and his expression was even more frightening.
Even the majestic and upright Li Zheng could not suppress his violent temper.
"Chenggui, Chenggui, look at what you father and son have done. Is this a human matter? Are you worthy of your dead eldest brother and sister-in-law? They are both your nephews. If you work together like this, you are really not afraid of losing face in the coming year.
Go see your brother and sister-in-law!"
Hu Lizheng got angry and immediately sent someone to call the clan uncle of Chengjia Village in the village. Such a thing could not be solved by her alone.
If the matter of abusing one's nephew and occupying one's nephew's property becomes serious, one will be imprisoned.
The father and son really don't know how high the sky is. After all, they are from the same village. If there is a person in the village who is sent to prison, it will have a very bad impact on the village.
Therefore, such matters are usually handled internally and will not really go to the county government.
Several prestigious clan uncles in the village were called over. After hearing the matter and discussing it with Li Zheng, they made a unified decision.
Let Cheng Gui and Cheng Hui return their fields and houses, and let the matter be settled.
"Uncles from the clan, I still have questions." Song Yutong stood up and expressed his position after these people gave their results.
Li Zheng and his uncle turned to look at Song Yutong with a bit of impatience in their eyes, mainly because they were afraid that this woman was ungrateful. After all, Song Yutong's bad reputation was so widespread that they would not be able to change their attitudes for a while.
Although I know that Song Yutong has made changes and even given the villagers good vegetables to grow, I still worry that she is too greedy and wants everything.
No matter how good your uncle Cheng Gui was, he still supported Cheng Hanyan and Cheng Xiuwen, regardless of whether he had any money or not.
But for this reason, and because they were blood relatives, they should suffer a little and give in.
After all, the relationship and boundaries were clearly drawn after this incident. In the future, whichever family makes money will have nothing to do with the other family.
