Shen Xiu originally wanted to call Wei Ping out and speak clearly. But after Wei Ping came out, Wei Yan also came out.
Wei Yan knows his eldest brother's temper better than anyone else. His ears are very soft, so he is easily provoked by others.
He also wanted to make this matter clear to Wei Ping. There was no need for the family to have conflicts over this.
Shen Xiu saw Wei Yan coming out and thought, Wei Yan could be a witness for her.
"Sister-in-law, what do you want from me?" Wei Ping asked.
Shen Xiudao: "It's not that my mother is looking for you, it's that I have something to say to my eldest brother. My husband, let's go to the room to talk!"
Wei Ping followed the couple into the side room.
There were only two chairs in the room. Shen Xiu gave the chair to their brothers, sat on the bed, and said calmly: "I heard what the eldest brother just said. I proposed to buy Feng Laoshi's land, and I paid for it."
It’s also from me.”
"Did you, my brother and sister, buy this land?" Wei Ping was surprised.
Shen Xiu nodded: "I did buy it. My father and mother just came forward to help me pay the price and get the deed. If the eldest brother doesn't believe it, just ask the husband."
Wei Yan looked at Wei Ping and said, "Axiu indeed bought this land with her own money."
After hearing Wei Yan's words, Wei Ping's face suddenly became embarrassed.
His brother knew that Wei Yan had never lied since he was a child. If he said that Shen Xiu bought the land, then Shen Xiu bought the land.
"Brother and sister, I didn't know you bought this land." Wei Ping explained, "I thought it was my parents who bought it. I didn't know why they hid it from me, so I came to ask."
There were some things Shen Xiu couldn't say, so Wei Yan said: "Brother, logically, we have separated. Even if my parents bought this land, there is no need to tell you, and it has nothing to do with you.
If you were the one buying the land today, do you think your parents would ask you specifically?"
These words left Wei Ping speechless. He really had no position to question his parents.
Wei Yan saw the expression of shame on Wei Ping's face, so he softened his tone and said, "Brother is here today. Did the sister-in-law say something or did an outsider say something?"
Wei Ping hesitated and said: "I heard a few words from the villagers. They said that my parents are rich now and can buy more than ten acres of land."
Wei Yan showed a clear expression, and he knew that his eldest brother had been provoked by others.
"Brother, don't you know what's going on at home?" Wei Yan's tone was not serious, but every word he said pierced Wei Ping's heart.
"My family only has five acres of land, and I gave you another two acres. The food we produce has to repay the debt and pay the land tax, so what else is left.
And even if your parents really have money and have a lot of money, it is still hard-earned by their parents. As children, we should think about how filial we are to our parents, rather than calculating the little money in our parents' hands.
"
When Wei Ping heard this, he became more and more ashamed and uneasy, "Second brother, please stop talking."
Wei Yan said calmly: "Brother, since you don't want to listen to me, then don't listen to outsiders' words in the future. Instead of believing in outsiders' words, you might as well ask me yourself. I don't want such a thing to happen again."
In the end, Weiping didn't even eat the dumplings and left in shame.
Shen Xiu looked at Wei Yan with admiration, "Ms. sir, I just found out today that you are better at training people than dad."
Wei Yan is not in a good mood. He has been away from home for the past two years and has fewer and fewer opportunities to meet his eldest brother. I don’t know since when, his eldest brother is no longer the big brother he used to be and has become more and more selfish.
, in my heart, I only have my own little family in mind, and I have completely forgotten the nurturing grace of my parents.
Although the land purchase was just a misunderstanding, Wei Ping's words and his attitude chilled Wei Yan.
That's why he talked so much to Weiping for the first time, just to give the other party a warning.
"I saw that eldest brother was very ashamed when he left. Something like this probably won't happen again in the future." Shen Xiu understood Wei Yan's concerns and comforted him.
Wei Yan said: "I hope so!"
Because of such an incident, the family was no longer as happy as before when eating dumplings.
Shen Xiu tried to liven up the atmosphere several times, but Wei's father was sulking, Yang was wondering about Wei Ping's departure, Wei Yan was not in the mood, and the atmosphere at the end of the meal was still extremely dull.
The next day is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and this day is the day when my daughter returns to her parents’ home to pay New Year’s greetings.
Mrs. Yang got up early in the morning and prepared Shen Xiu's gift for returning to her parents' home: a large pig leg, two large rice cakes, and two jars of sorghum wine brewed by Father Wei himself.
This time, without Yang having to say anything, Shen Xiu took the initiative and picked up the relatively light basket.
On the way there were the young daughter-in-law and husband-in-law returning to their parents' home.
On the way, Shen Xiu also met Trini and her husband.
Trini was sitting on a bullock cart and immediately asked the driver to stop the cart.
"Axiu, I haven't seen you for a long time." Trini held on to Shen Xiu, "I heard from my parents-in-law that you are now a popular figure in front of the county magistrate's wife."
Shen Xiu smiled and said: "I can't say the celebrity, but I just met the county magistrate's wife a few times."
"Stop being modest," Trini said, "My father-in-law has already found out clearly. You are going back to your parents' house, right, but you must come back as soon as possible. I have something else to tell you!"
Trini planned to stay at her parents' home for a few days this time. Firstly, she hadn't been back to her parents' home for a long time, and secondly, this was also her father-in-law's wish.
When the eldest lady heard from her daughter that Shen Xiu was now favored by the county magistrate's wife, she couldn't help but smack her tongue and said: "No wonder the Wei family bought more than ten acres of land a few days ago. I was also wondering that the Wei family owed so much money before.
Where did the money come from to buy the land? Now that I think about it, it was probably the Wei Er family’s money.”
Trini said: "This little silver is nothing. I heard that the county magistrate's wife once gave Axiu a pair of jade bracelets. The jade bracelets are fine white jade bracelets and are worth at least several hundred taels of silver."
After hearing this, the eldest lady was even more amazed.
Trini said: "Mom, you just need to know, but don't talk nonsense to outsiders. By the way, I'll go to sleep first. When Axiu comes, you come and call me quickly. My father-in-law has something to ask her for!"
When Shen Xiu returned to her parents' home, she was also thinking about Trini's words. She knew that Trini would not mention the county magistrate's wife for no reason. She also mentioned that if she had something to tell her, it would probably be related to the county magistrate's wife.
She was thinking about this in her mind, and she was a little absent-minded when she returned to her parents' house.
Shen's mother and sister-in-law Song thought she was tired and wanted her to go back to her room to rest for a while.
Shen Xiu repeatedly said that she was not tired, but she was still dragged to the bedroom by Shen's mother and Mrs. Song.
After Mrs. Song entered the house, she left the door bolt.
Then, Mother Shen took out a medicine bag from her arms and said, "Axiu, mother has something good for you."
What a good thing. Shen Xiu sat up from the bed and took the medicine package curiously. However, as soon as he opened it, he choked on the thing.
"Mom, what are you doing with a bag of incense ash?" Shen Xiu asked, covering her nose.
Mother Shen scolded: "What incense ash? This is the secret recipe for giving birth to a son."
