Chapter 289 The troubled second wife
Yang Erdan was stunned for a moment, looking down at the silver in his hand, "Why did you suddenly think of giving money to grandpa and grandma?"
Yang Santie sighed helplessly, "Second brother hasn't been back for a long time. He doesn't even know the situation of the second and third bedrooms!"
“What’s going on with the second and third bedrooms?” Yang Erdan thought that there was nothing wrong with the people he met yesterday.
Yang Santie breathed a long sigh of relief and sat down, "Although grandpa and grandma didn't tell us those bad things, I still saw something wrong when I went to the old house during the Chinese New Year. That day Sizhuang and I went to the old house. I was having New Year's Eve dinner with my grandpa and grandma when I saw a strange woman following the second room.
Grandpa and mother-in-law had a very ugly face, and she didn’t have a good attitude towards my second uncle. She treated the woman as if she were nothing. The woman was a little embarrassed and in a dilemma, but she was very humble and polite to the two of us.
Because grandpa and grandma didn’t want to see him, the second uncle and the others only sat for a while and then went back. As you know, our family has never asked about the second bedroom, so that night I didn’t say anything even though I was curious, and only asked the housekeeper to investigate secretly. .
You don’t know if you don’t check, but once you check, I really don’t know.”
Yang Santie wanted to curse.
Yang Erdan's appetite was whetted and he became anxious, "You tell me! What's going on?"
Yang Santie whispered in his ear: "That woman came from a brothel."
“Ahem, cough, cough.” Yang Erdan was so frightened that he coughed violently. His eyes were full of shock and astonishment, “Is the second uncle crazy? He actually falls in love with a brothel girl?”
Yang Santie shook his head with an ugly expression, "He is still rich and wealthy, so he is not completely dizzy. Although he left the woman at home, he did not say that he would marry her. Second brother, think about it. She's a brothel girl, and she's following her second uncle with a dishonorable reputation. It's strange that my grandpa and grandma can have such a good face!
What's even more amazing is that the second uncle spent twenty taels to redeem the woman. The second uncle probably only saved that much over the years! All of it was spent on that woman. Grandma was so angry that she said that her uncle would be defrauded of all his wealth by that woman sooner or later.
In order not to affect the children, Grandma directly took Erya Fugui to her old house to live with her third uncle and his family.
The third uncle and the third aunt will definitely not say anything in a short time, but as time goes by, Erya will also get married, and the rich will start a family in the future. The third uncle and the third aunt must have ideas. Grandpa and grandma often sigh secretly, I am the only one What can a junior do? I can only secretly give them some money.
You give this money secretly, don't let the third uncle and the third aunt know. In the future, if the grandpa and the grandma help Erya to be rich, he will definitely include Lai Gui in it, and maybe give more, so the third uncle and the third aunt will not cause trouble. , As for the second room, don't worry about it. Anyway, the eldest sister is still watching, so nothing will happen. "
At this moment, Yang Erdan suddenly discovered that his most troublesome brother had grown up, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He stuffed the money back with his backhand, "You don't need to spend money, I will do it."
Yang Santie refused to agree to anything, "I've thought about this a long time ago. Second brother, don't argue with me. If you have money, you should take care of your own family! That's it, I have to go find Mr. You should go back quickly."
Yang Santie couldn't help but push Yang Erdan out of the room and locked the door, preventing him from going in to put the money.
Yang Erdan had no choice but to leave with the money.
The fishing boat arrived at Songxi Town. The three of them went to the restaurant to sit for a while and asked about the situation here.
The rubble stopped talking several times.
Yang Erdan glanced at him and said, "If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Rubble scratched his head, "Second Young Master, as the younger one said, weren't you here to give something to the Third Young Master and the Fourth Young Master? Why did you take two hundred taels from the Third Young Master instead?"
Yang Erdan froze and was speechless for a moment.
Song Yi silently shrank his neck, not daring to take a breath. After the three of them returned from Songxi Town, Yang Erdan secretly gave the money to Old Man Yang according to Yang Santie's wishes.
Old man Yang was shocked when he got the money, "Why do you give so much? It's not easy for you, you, you, you, yourself, why do you give so much?"
Yang Erdan did not hide anything and told Old Man Yang what Yang Santie said.
Old Man Yang's eyes turned red immediately, and he sat on the stone steps with a sigh, "I have no ability, I can't make money, and I can't teach my children well. Your father is just a gangster with a bad reputation. Even though people from all over the country dare not They bullied us, but no one looked down on us.
I thought your second and third uncles were all down-to-earth, but it turns out your second uncle is becoming more and more willful. I don’t even dare to let the villagers know about that woman. It’s such a shame!
And your third uncle, your third uncle doesn't have that many messy things, but he doesn't have much potential, not as successful as you brothers.
Erdan, our old Yang family is referring to your house. You can live a good life and don’t worry about things in the village. Your second uncle’s side is all broken, so don’t worry about it in the future. "
Old man Yang said, blowing his nose and returning the two hundred taels.
Without saying a word, Yang Erdan stuffed the money into Old Man Yang's arms again, "This is from Santie for you and grandma. We are not in the village, so we can only give money. Although money is not everything, money can solve many problems." It’s troublesome, please keep this money and don’t let others know about it, so that you can feel confident to do something in the future.”
Under Yang Erdan’s persuasion, Old Man Yang finally accepted the money.
In a blink of an eye, the day of the county examination came.
Yang Erdan arrived at the county early and was waiting. When he saw Yang Santie and Yang Sizhuang lining up with his classmates, he specially asked Song Yi Rubble to come over and help look at them and check them again.
After all, Song Yi came from the capital. He was well-informed and worked very carefully.
When others saw him like this, they realized that he was too negligent and hurriedly followed him to check. Someone really found something wrong and took care of things in time.
Yang Santie and Yang Sizhuang looked at each other with serious expressions. They checked each other thoroughly and made sure that there was no problem before moving forward.
When they successfully entered the Gongyuan, Yang Erdan was about to relax for a while when he saw a group of officers and soldiers on horseback galloping into the city and straight into the county government office.
Soon the county government posted an announcement.
Yang Erdan leaned over to take a look and narrowed his eyes with a smile.
The people around him couldn't read the words, so they gathered around the official and asked, "Master, what's written on it? Is it related to this year's taxes?"
“Stop it! It didn’t take long after we finally had enough to eat, why did it get bloated again?”
Niu Yiwu shouted, "Quiet! What it says is that Guang Enbo was posthumously named Guang Enhou by the emperor. The Yang family in Rongshu Village will have their taxes reduced by 30% this year. It's not that the imperial court wants to increase taxes."
He was also convinced. These people only knew one or two words and opened their mouths to come. Fortunately, he stayed for a while, otherwise he didn't know what the spread would be like!
Everyone was in an uproar and rushed to tell each other.
Although they are not the ones who reduced taxes for the feudal lords, it does not prevent them from being proud and gossiping about it.
Yang Erdan saw the power of word of mouth with his own eyes and couldn't recover for a long time.
After the county examination was over, Yang Erdan took his two younger brothers back to Rongshu Village in person to wait for news. As soon as the carriage entered the village, they were shocked by the debris from the firecrackers along the way.
