Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 311 Qu Laokou gets beaten
"It's okay, I'm back. I'm here for everything, don't worry." Qu Shaoyang supported his wife and walked towards the east room.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Chen Xiuyun dragged Qu Shaoyang into the west room with an embarrassed look on her face.

"Leave the east room for my parents to live in. I'll live in the west room."

When Qu Laokouer and his wife came to Maoer Mountain, Chen Xiuyun arranged a guest room for them to stay in at first.

I was thinking of waiting for Qu Shaoyang to come back and then see what to do.

Unexpectedly, just two days later, Qu Laokouer became unhappy.

My son has built up such a large fortune, lives in such a nice house, and has so many servants serving him.

Qu Laokouer felt that since he was Qu Shaoyang's father, he should have the final say in this family.

How could it be possible for the parents-in-law to live in the guest room while the daughter-in-law lives in the east room of the main courtyard?

So, Qu Laokouer found Chen Xiuyun and made a big fuss, insisting on moving to the east room.

How could Chen Xiuyun argue with her elders? Besides, Qu Shaoyang was not at home, so she could only give in first.

So she gave the east room to her parents-in-law and wanted to stay at her parents' home for a while.

Unexpectedly, after only living there for a few days, Old Qu went to the Chen family to make trouble again, complaining that his daughter-in-law was not at home to take care of her parents-in-law, but went to her parents' home to avoid the idleness.

Doctor Chen and Li are both good-tempered and well-mannered. Moreover, according to the secular concept, it is the duty of a daughter-in-law to respect her parents-in-law.

The two had no choice but to let Chen Xiuyun go back first, be patient and wait for Qu Shaoyang to come back.

After Chen Xiuyun came back, she wanted to move to a small courtyard, farther away from the old couple.

But Mr. Qu refused, saying that they were both old and needed someone to take care of them.

Chen Xiuyun has been married to the Qu family for so many years, but she has never cooked a meal for her parents-in-law, nor has she ever brought them a glass of water.

Now that they are here, we must give our daughter-in-law a chance and take good care of the old couple.

In this way, Chen Xiuyun moved to the west room.

She was a pregnant woman and should have had a good rest, but Qu Laokouer always ordered her to work.

Baizhi and a few others couldn't bear to see this and wanted to help, but Qu Laokouer scolded them and said he would sell them all to avoid wasting food and clothes by keeping them at home.

These days, Chen Xiuyun has been watched by Qu Laokouer. She can't eat or sleep well, so she is getting thinner and thinner, right?

Qu Jiang couldn't bear it and spoke a few words for Chen Xiuyun, but was scolded by Qu Laokouer. Even Yang Qionghua was embarrassed in front of her parents-in-law.

Yang Qionghua is also pregnant, and has been pregnant for more than two months, but the fetus is not stable.

Chen Xiuyun was afraid that her sister-in-law would suffer some loss during this pregnancy, so she didn't dare let Yang Qionghua come over. She could only serve her parents-in-law by herself.

Chen Xiuyun endured all these grievances alone. Even if Qu Shaoyang came back, she had no intention of crying to her husband.

Chen Xiuyun was listening to what Qu Shaoyang said to Qu Laokouer and his wife in the yard just now.

She felt that having her husband's protection was enough, and there was no need to say these things, which would make her husband unhappy and cause more conflicts.

Qu Shaoyang is such a smart man. As soon as he heard what Chen Xiuyun said, he immediately understood what was going on.

This time, Qu Shaoyang was completely furious. He let go of Chen Xiuyun, turned around and walked into the courtyard, shouting to the front, "Xingjia, Xingjia."

Xing Jia, who was waiting at the door, came in immediately, "Sir."

"Go, find a few people, clean up the small courtyard at the east end, and move the old man and the old lady's things over there.

Usually, two people are assigned to serve, and three meals a day must not be neglected."

The small courtyard at the east end that Qu Shaoyang mentioned was the house before the new house was built. After the new house was built, the two small houses were not demolished, and a separate small courtyard was planned for relatives to live in.

After all, Qu Laokouer and Chen are the elders, and they cannot be allowed to live in the small courtyard in the west.

Besides, Qu Jiang and his wife lived in the west yard. Qu Shaoyang was worried that Qu Laokouer would not dare to lose his temper with him and would go and mess with his third brother and his wife.

So, they arranged the old couple to live in the small courtyard at the east end and left two people to look after them.

Anyway, there are so many people in the family, so it doesn’t matter if there are two more people to feed and drink. Just keep them.

Old Qu stood in the yard in a daze for a long time. Just as he came to his senses, he heard his son saying that he wanted to drive them out of the yard.

"Sihuzi, what do you mean? Are you going to chase us away?
I won't leave, I'm your father, I'll live in this yard." Qu Laokouer got anxious and shouted.

"You're not leaving? What do you mean you're not leaving and you want to chase me away?
Let me tell you, I am the master of this house. The main house is where my wife and I live.

If you want to stay in the Qu family, just move to the east courtyard. If you don't want to, just pack up and go back home."

Qu Shaoyang glared at Qu Laokouer. He really didn't expect that the seemingly honest old man would become so irritable when he got here.

No, it’s not that I have a bad temper, but that I am greedy.

This is because when I came to Maoer Mountain and saw how big my son's family business was, I had some thoughts that I shouldn't have.

Qu Laokouer thought that since his son was not at home, he could find a way to suppress his daughter-in-law so that he could have the final say and be the boss in this big house.

Even if his son came back, he would have to accept him out of filial piety.

Otherwise, it would be extremely unfilial.

Nowadays, if someone is known to be unfilial, he will be criticized.

"How dare you, Sihuzi? You are disrespectful to your parents, be careful or I will report you to the government.

Don’t think you are powerful just because you hold an official position. No matter how high the position is, if you are not filial to your parents, you will be scolded to death.”

Qu Laokouer was unwilling to be driven out of the main courtyard, so he jumped up and down in the yard and cursed.

"Dad, please stop making trouble. Haven't you made enough trouble these days?
The fourth brother worked hard to build this business and got to where he is today. Was it easy for him?

Are you our real father? It would be fine if you didn't help the children, but why do you come to destroy us?"

At this time, Qu Jiang and Yang Qionghua came in hurriedly from outside.

As soon as he entered the door, Qu Jiang knelt down in front of Qu Laokouer, crying as he spoke.

"Well, you guys have grown so independent that you don't even want your own father anymore, right? I'm going to beat you to death today."

Seeing that his third son, who used to be the most filial and obedient one, was now learning to disobey him, Mr. Qu became furious and raised his foot to kick Qu Jiang.

At this moment, Chen who was standing next to him suddenly jumped out, swung his arm, and slapped Qu Laokouer hard with a slap.

Although Chen was an old lady with bound feet, she worked very hard.

The slap landed on Qu Laokouer's old face, leaving a red mark on it immediately.

"Have you had enough of making trouble? You have been making trouble all these days, and you are almost breaking up our happy family.

What do you want to do? The third and fourth brothers left their hometown to come to Guandong Mountain to make a living. Is it easy for them?
You old thing, you have no good intentions. You are incompetent at home and your three sons make you very angry. Now you act like a capable person here?
I tell you, you have to move today whether you want to or not.

Otherwise, just pack up your things and come back home with me, and don't embarrass yourself here."
