Chapter 181: I am still filial to the Xu family

Chapter 181: I am still filial to the Xu family (5k)

Yunzhang County, Tianban Township, Laokeng Village.

Xu Qingshan’s grandfather was named Xu Qinghe, who died of liver cancer two years ago.

Xu Qinghe is from the second branch of the Xu family in Laokeng Village. Xu Xuejun is the third child and has four siblings: the eldest brother Xu Xuewen, the second brother Xu Xuewu, the eldest sister Xu He, and the youngest sister Xu Ping.

Xu Qingshan remembers it clearly.

My uncle Xu Xuewen graduated from the Agricultural and Forestry University. He first worked in the Forestry Bureau and later worked as an accountant in the Land and Resources Bureau. However, he was a career employee, not a civil servant. My aunt Zhou Xiuhua worked in the town government, also a career employee. They have a son who is a stay-at-home, Xu Dongshan.

Although Xu Qingshan didn't quite understand their situation, the only genuine civil servant in the Xu family was his father Xu Xuejun.

Second uncle Xu Xuewu is a bricklayer. His wife Shen Chunmei is unemployed. Every two years, she goes to the vegetable market to make noodles and steamed buns to supplement the family income. They have a son and a daughter and don't go home all year round.

My eldest aunt, Xu He, is unemployed, divorced and has three children. She works as a part-time worker and does cleaning for others.

My younger sister-in-law Xu Ping is unemployed and married to retired soldier Tang Jiye. She is also considering starting a business.

Talk and talk.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the families of uncle Xu Xuewen and the third son Xu Xuejun live the best and most comfortable lives.

Xu Xuewen would be fine, but he married Zhou Xiuhua, who was jealous and calculative. When the Xu family had problems, not only did she not help, she also often did bad things and held others back.

Xu Qingshan still remembers it.

Before the college entrance examination in her previous life, Xu Xuejun and his wife asked for leave to go to Longjiang to accompany him. As a result, the college entrance examination was on June 6. On the night of June 7, Zhou Xiuhua called Xu Xuejun and asked if Xu Qingshan was nearby. After learning that Xu Qingshan was nearby, she deliberately raised her voice to ask Xu Qingshan if he would look unhappy after the exam and whether he had failed the exam.
Her son just finished the college entrance examination a few years ago.

Choosing that time and saying those words, what else could that be but bad intentions?
This was just one of the many disgusting things this gossipy woman had done. She often went around Yunzhang County talking about Lin Yuehua's faults and Xu Qingshan's background, and later instigated conflicts between Xu Xuewen and Xu Xuewu.

There are too many things to count.

Xu Qingshan couldn't help but curl his lips when he thought back to those disgusting things.

"Is this the son of the Xuejun family?"

"You've grown so tall? So handsome!"

"I heard you got full marks in the exam? Are you the top scorer this year?"

Xu Qingshan walked in front, followed by Xu Xuejun and Lin Yuehua. When neighbors saw them, they came out to greet them warmly.

Laokeng Village is only this big.

Everyone knows that Xu Qinghe's family, the second branch of the family, produced a top scorer in the college entrance examination.

However, I only knew that he was from the third brother Xu Xuejun's family, but I was not very familiar with Xu Qingshan's appearance. After all, he didn't come here often, and no one took care of him when he came. He often just sat in the fields or in the old house for half a day.

They are more familiar with the eldest son of the eldest brother Xu Xuewen.

That child has been the Xu family's treasure since birth.

"Hey, uncle, are you still healthy?"

"Third aunt, your eyes are still so good."

"He's the top scorer, but it happens every year. I'm just lucky."

Xu Qingshan greeted these elderly people very naturally, and he could still accurately call out the identities of these elderly people.

But he spoke very modestly and didn't look at all like those Zhongshan wolves who become rampant when they succeed.

Xu Xuejun looked at Xu Qingshan's back in surprise and almost couldn't walk.

When did my son become so troublesome?
When I came back before, I was well-behaved and shy. When the elders asked me questions, I would answer in a low voice out of embarrassment.

If they weren't going to the old house, Xu Xuejun doubted whether Xu Qingshan could get along well with these elders.

"Let's go, what are you standing there for?"

Lin Yuehua pulled Xu Xuejun.

If it were usual, Lin Yuehua would not like to come to the old house.

Because for her, as the third son's wife, she has to endure the bullying when she comes.

The eldest sister-in-law acted badly, the second sister-in-law ignored her, the elder and younger sisters-in-law helped the eldest sister-in-law to suppress her, and even the mother-in-law would treat her harshly from time to time because she had power over others.

She has to do the work and suffer the consequences.

You know, before marrying into the Xu family, Lin Yuehua was a little princess with a notorious bad temper in the family. Her grandfather was the township secretary, and her father was the principal of Yunzhang Experimental Primary School. Later, he was transferred to work in the Water Conservancy Bureau. He was also a child of a large compound when he was young.

She studied sports and was a heroic and heroic "heroine" back then.

He is a straightforward person who hates evil and is a little simple-minded.

Otherwise, that mess wouldn't have happened.

However, the heroine either dies in battle or retires to the mountains.

She retired to the mountains and forests, but she still took care of her husband and children and was disciplined by her in-laws.

But this time, she, Lin Yuehua, is different!

Lin Yuehua turned the gold bracelet on her wrist to encourage herself.

Don’t be afraid, you have a big son!

The family of three, each with their own thoughts, walked through the streets and up the hill before they finally reached the old house.

At this time, there were already quite a few people in the old house. Xu Qingshan arrived at the door first and looked inside. He saw that his second uncle's family had already arrived, and there were also some relatives who came to visit.

"The champion is finally here!"

Someone saw Xu Qingshan pushing the door open and shouted in surprise.

The children of my second uncle did not come back, but my second uncle Xu Xuewu and Shen Chunmei did come.

The second brother's family separated early and didn't have much contact with the other families. He only had a better relationship with the third brother. When he heard the news this time, he came early.

"Qingshan, good boy, do your best!"

Xu Xuewu is a rough man who doesn't know how to listen to nice words. As a bricklayer, he works under the sun all year round and his skin is very dark.

He came up and wanted to pat Xu Qingshan on the shoulder, but Xu Qingshan dodged him.

"Uncle, I can't lift it with my hands, and I can't carry it with my shoulders. I can't bear your strength."

Xu Qingshan didn't have any conflicts with him, he just smiled and said.

"Come, I'll give you one first. Take the flower with you when you go to school. Don't tell your parents, or else your second aunt will know."

Xu Xuewu didn't care much and secretly took out a red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into Xu Qingshan's trouser pocket.

Xu Qingshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't refuse and just nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, Uncle."

Xu Xuewu grinned. He was a bricklayer and often interacted with the villagers. He was about to introduce his nephew to the relatives and friends in the house, but he saw Xu Qingshan walked into the house first.

"My dear uncles and aunts, I am Xu Qingshan. I got full marks in the college entrance examination and was admitted to Peking University. I will not introduce myself to you one by one. Thank you all for coming to visit me today. I am young and cannot drink alcohol, so I will use tea instead of wine to toast all the elders first!"

Xu Qingshan gave a traditional and somewhat rustic opening.

But these guys, young and old, love to hear this.

Seeing that Xu Qingshan was not at all squeamish, and was chatting and laughing with everyone openly, and even took the initiative to drink a cup of tea, everyone who had originally come to see the number one scholar and get some blessings from the God of Literature suddenly became friendly.

Xu Qingshan continued with everyone's kind words, but his eyes were flashing among people.

My uncle's, aunt's, and aunt's families haven't arrived yet.

"It's already dinner time. The graduation banquet is scheduled to be held at the village stage, right? Let's go there together?"

Graduation banquets are usually hosted by the elders in the family.

Today, the top scholar from the second branch of the third family actually took charge personally.

These men, young and old, were shocked and sighed, saying that people look different at the age of eighteen. Then they looked at their own bad boy who climbed trees to dig bird holes and dug the soil to find earthworms, and they wished they could just grab him, strip off his pants and start beating him.

"Hey, Qingshan, your uncle and aunt haven't arrived yet?"

"Why are you so impatient? You're leaving without even caring about your family."

"Everyone, don't rush to leave. My third child has not been taught much and is immature. Wait a little longer. When my eldest son comes, we can go together."

Xu Qingshan's grandmother came out of the house and hurriedly stopped him.

Xu Qingshan looked at his grandmother.

The old man was festive, a little plump, with grey hair, and a good-looking face, as if he was a blessed man, but his complexion was not very good at the moment.

Xu Qingshan smiled at the old man.

When grandma came out of the house, she saw that Xu Qingshan's spirit and spirit were different from before. She originally wanted to put on airs of an elder, but now she had nowhere to put it. However, she was still thinking about her eldest son and two daughters.

It turns out that she is partial to her eldest son and daughter.

However, it was the second and third sons who often came to the village to accompany him.

"dad."

Xu Qingshan turned around and shouted.

"Hey, I'm here."

Xu Xuejun was just looking at the situation in the yard of the old house and was a little absent-minded. He came back to his senses when Xu Qingshan called him.

"You are responsible for setting up the thank-you banquet for the promotion, right?"

"Yes, I decided."

"Then have you informed my uncle and aunt?"

"Yes, I called several times and sent text messages to everyone to inform them of the time."

Xu Xuejun didn't understand and answered honestly.

"Uncles and uncles, did you receive the text message as well?"

"I got it. Xiaojun also called me. I couldn't understand the text message, but I received the dongdong."

"Got it, it's coming."

The clan elders replied.

Xu Qingshan turned around and stared at his grandmother with a sharp look, which made the old lady feel a little nervous.

"What time is it scheduled?"

"Come to the old house before twelve o'clock, and then go to the stage to have the feast together."

"What time did our family arrive?"

"Around eleven fifty."

Xu Xuejun replied.

"So grandma, what time is it now?"

Pointing to the alarm clock which reads a quarter past twelve.

Xu Qingshan asked.

"If you have presbyopia and can't see clearly, and my uncle has no money to buy you reading glasses, you should tell me and I will buy them for you! I'm filial!" Xu Qingshan's words made the originally festive scene quiet down.

"Don't worry, even if I don't eat this feast and can't go to school, I will still be filial to you, right, grandma?"

Xu Qingshan said sarcastically.

Grandma's face turned pale and blue, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Not to mention her, even the other relatives present didn't know what to say to deal with the situation.

Xu Xuejun's face changed and he spoke subconsciously.

"Qingshan, why are you talking to grandma like that? It's just a matter of a moment, it's okay. Apologize to grandma, quickly."

"What are you apologizing for?"

Xu Qingshan turned sideways and looked at Xu Xuejun with cold eyes.

This made Xu Xuejun, who was frowning and about to come forward to pull Xu Qingshan, stop.

"What do you mean by talking?"

"Don't children talk like adults?"

Xu Qingshan had a smile on his face and spoke in a relaxed manner, but his aura was different.

"I thought that in this old house, if you encounter something you don't like, you have to step on it before speaking. I'm young and of low generation, so I don't dare to step on it. Is it not okay to say a few sarcastic words?"

Xu Qingshan's words made the clan members present look a little strange.

This one comes at a bad time.

This might be the result of the top scholar from the second branch, Xu Qinghe's family, coming to settle the score now that he has gained power.

No one in the village is a stranger.

Everyone knows how Xu Qinghe's family treats the third son's wife, but knowing it is knowing, and it is not easy to talk about other people's family affairs.

But the same is true for today's game.

Even though everyone thought Xu Qingshan said this on purpose in front of so many people, they would not preach to him, because this was someone else's family affair.

"Xu Qingshan, you!"

Xu Xuejun saw his mother's face turn pale, and knew that the old lady was uncomfortable being contradicted in front of so many people. He didn't care about what he thought last night and was about to lose his temper, but was stared back by Xu Qingshan.

Xu Qingshan took two steps forward and stared at Xu Xuejun.

"I ask you."

"Is today my thank-you party?"

"Am I the top scorer in the college entrance examination?"

"Did I pay for today's banquet?"

"Have you forgotten what I said to you yesterday? Or did you not take it to heart at all and think I was joking?"

"Or?"

Xu Qingshan became more and more aggressive, and Xu Xuejun's momentum became increasingly weaker.

Xu Qingshan turned around and looked at his grandmother, his eyes narrowed.

"You want to use my money to save their face?"

"laugh."

Xu Qingshan sneered, shook his head, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

"Do other people want to take advantage of me? Am I eating their rice or using their money? Or did they fail to find the cause they wanted to find me for, and are unwilling to come here today?"

After Xu Qingshan finished speaking, he grabbed Xu Xuejun and looked at Lin Yuehua.

"Mom, you and my dad will take all the uncles to the table on the stage first. As a filial son and grandson, I will personally help grandma over later."

After Xu Qingshan finished speaking, Lin Yuehua understood and immediately dragged Xu Xuejun, who was lowering his head and looking as pale as death, away, and the clan members also hurriedly followed.

Second uncle Xu Xuewu originally frowned and wanted to pull Xu Qingshan, but was glared at and pulled back by second aunt Shen Chunmei.

Shen Chunmei said in a low voice.

"You are a brainless person. The third brother's wife and children have been bullied for so many years, just waiting for this. If you go up now, won't you be the one taking the blame for your even more brainless elder brother and sister? Use your brain in everything."

After Shen Chunmei finished speaking, she looked at her mother-in-law, who dared not say a word, with some disdain.

"Your mother deserved it. If I hadn't had a bad temper and if you hadn't listened to me, I would have lived a life even more miserable than the third son's wife."

Xu Xuewu remained silent.

No one dared to interfere in Xu Qingshan's family affairs.

They were attending Xu Qingshan's banquet today.

Everyone knows who is the master.

Everyone knows about the dirty deeds of Xu Qinghe's family, but Xu Laosan himself is blind and has no idea what his son said to him last night. But looking at how glorious and good-looking his wife is today, you can tell that she has made great progress.

"grandmother."

Xu Qingshan smiled and looked at his grandmother.

"Eh"

Grandma's voice was trembling a little.

She is a person without her own opinion.

Originally, when Xu Qinghe was around, she was partial to the third daughter-in-law, but she only dared to neglect the third daughter-in-law. The second daughter-in-law was fierce, and she didn't dare to offend her.

But in today's match, this little grandson actually made her unable to respond as soon as they met.

"It's just the two of us now. Tell me, do you want to wait? Or do you want to leave?"

Xu Qingshan was no longer as cold and fierce as before, but spoke with a smile on his face.

"Let's go, grandma's eyes are blurry and she didn't see the time. It's your life, of course you are the one who decides."

Grandma had no one to rely on and didn't dare to lose her temper, but she was also afraid that if she waited here, her grandson, who now had a promising future, would do something, so she quickly gave in.

"Okay, I'll help you over there."

Xu Qingshan smiled brightly, took the initiative to help his grandmother out of the old house and locked it.

An old man and a young man were walking on the village road, supporting each other, and they looked very harmonious.

Anyone who sees this would praise the third brother’s filial piety, right?

"grandmother."

Walking on the deserted village path, Xu Qingshan suddenly said softly.

"Oh? Eh?"

Grandma was a little afraid of Xu Qingshan's aura.

"You are biased, I admit it."

"I don't care about what happened in the past. Whether it's you, my uncle, or my two aunts, I don't care about them."

After Xu Qingshan finished speaking, the grandmother who had originally wanted to explain herself breathed a sigh of relief and shut her mouth again.

"but."

Xu Qingshan changed the subject.

"From now on, you can do what you want, and we can do what we want."

"My dad is filial to you, that's his business, I won't stop him. As a grandson, I will do what I should do."

When Xu Qingshan said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"But if you are biased, if you reach too far, or if you interfere too much, and if my mother is wronged, then this matter will not be so easy to end."

"I don't need to explain my current future to you. You know that the county magistrate and the mayor will give me some consideration."

"You made me angry, so I will make your eldest son angry."

"What do you think, given my uncle's situation, if he is fired by the Land and Resources Bureau one day, what will happen to my aunt's family?"

"I heard that my two aunts are both thinking about starting a business. If they can't get the license, what do you think will happen?"

Xu Qingshan spoke softly with a deep smile on his face.

But the words that came out of it made the old lady shudder.

She didn't have much experience and had rarely left Yunzhang County in her life. The highest-ranking official she had ever met was the village chief.

Recently, many clan members have come to visit, and without exception, they all mentioned that the grandson of the third brother is very capable and has a bright future. He will definitely become a high-ranking official. Even the county magistrate has to queue up to see him.

Yesterday, the TV showed the news about him meeting with the mayor, shaking hands and chatting.

When she thought of that scene, her eldest son and two daughters were targeted by her youngest grandson, not to mention what kind of reputation would be spread, she didn't even dare to think about that life.

"Grandma, you don't want my uncle to lose his job, do you?"

Xu Qingshan smiled brightly.

But his smile at this moment made grandma feel cold all over.

"Grandma always listens to you. Grandma always listens to you. I will never do that again in the future."

The old lady is a spineless person.

In this situation, her legs went weak.

"Okay, then you have to laugh later. Laugh happily and joyfully."

Xu Qingshan supported his grandmother and gave instructions.

"Let all the clan members know that you are very happy that your good grandson has become the top scholar. Do you understand?"

Xu Qingshan said.

"Know, know."

Grandma forced a smile, which was a bit ugly.
