Chapter 18：

Xu Jiansheng stared at his hand blankly, as if he couldn't believe that he actually pushed his mother to the ground, but the old lady was yelling and scolding with her nose and tears on the ground, and he had to admit this fact.

"Oh, I said, big brother, why are you so cruel, you actually did it to mom."

Before Xu Jiansheng had time to help the old lady, Zhang Cuiqin also howled and ran over. While reaching out to help the old lady, he cursed at Xu Jiansheng, "My mother, why is there such a person with no conscience? My son beats his mother. This is going to be struck by lightning."

The old lady was lifted up from the ground, trembling with anger and tears.

Other onlookers did not expect such a thing to happen. Who is Granny Xu? She is the number one person in the Xu family. Don't look at Xu Jiansheng's beautiful scenery outside, you don't have to listen to the old lady at home. Now that I got it, I just pushed the old lady to the ground.

"Jiansheng, you are exactly what you are. No matter what, you can't do anything to the old man." Someone couldn't stand it anymore and began to blame Xu Jiansheng.

Although Mrs. Xu is not very popular, she is an old man and Xu Jiansheng's mother-in-law. When the elders in the village saw this situation, they felt pity for the same sickness, and worried that they would be dealt with by their children in the future, so they would just say something when they saw it.

"Yes, Jiansheng, it's your mother, how can you do it? It's so unfilial. How hard your mother was when she gave birth to you."

"I didn't do it, I am not..." Faced with the complaints of the old people in the village, Xu Jiansheng felt quite wronged. He really didn't do anything, just subconsciously blocked it. But now in everyone's eyes, he has become an unfilial son who did something to his mother.

Someone supported him, and the old lady Xu shouted louder, "I'm a guilty man. Raising such an unfilial son, start hitting me. What's the point of my life? It's better to die."

Xu Jian was sweating profusely.

At first, Xu Nannan looked on the side with cold eyes, watching them biting the dog, but the more they looked, the more things went wrong. The old lady is so upset, it doesn't seem to do her any good. This old lady's virtue of not swearing is not good for her, what is she doing?

This is clearly the first to make the best, and the first to win.

This old lady hasn't read many books, she has a lot of thoughts.

Xu Nannan thought she might think too much, but she didn't dare to bet, she never dared to underestimate the little old lady of the Xu family.

"Milk, you really wronged my dad. Just now my dad was going to help you. You fell by yourself. You can't wrong my dad casually. What my dad has done to you all these years, the whole village All have eyes to see. For the sake of milk, my dad doesn't even care about me and Xiaoman's daughter. Isn't it all for filial piety? How could my dad do it, just because you didn't stand firm. "

Xu Nannan retorted Mrs. Xu, and said to everyone, "You have all seen, my dad stretched out his hand to stop it, my milk fell by himself. Everyone can be fair, but I can’t let my dad suffer. It's wrong."

The people in the village didn't have any firm stance. Hearing Xu Nannan's words, they felt that it was the case. Xu Jian was a well-known great filial son in his life. In order to be filial to his parents, he didn't even care about his daughters and relatives. How could such a person do it?

Another young man said, "Mother, I don't think Jiansheng did it on purpose, so don't be angry."

"Yes, Jiansheng is usually filial, and he didn't deliberately do anything just now. If you cry like this, how will he behave in the future."

Xu Nannan also said, "Yeah, milk, you cry like this, don't you let my dad get stuck in the spine in the future? You are the one who loves my dad the most. You shouldn't have the heart to make it difficult for him to be a man in the future."

Hearing the protection of the girl, Xu Jiansheng felt warm and healed slowly because of his wronged grievance and helplessness. "Mom, I didn't mean it. If you are angry, just hit me. Don't get angry."

Hearing Xu Jiansheng's words, Xu Nannan smacked her tongue secretly on the side. This old lady didn't know how to educate her children before. The son she taught was so filial.

The wind direction of the people around changed a little, and the old lady couldn't play the scene anymore. When Xu Nannan looked at the bad things, her face suddenly became distorted, "You **** girl, you are making trouble, and you dare to talk a lot on the side. . I must kill you today."

Xu Nannan hurriedly twisted and hid behind Xu Jiansheng again.

Xu Jiansheng felt that his daughter was beaten to help her speak, and was too embarrassed to let her be beaten by the old lady, so she could only stand in front of her. This time he didn't dare to do it again, so he let the old lady fight.

The old lady slapped Xu Jiansheng directly, but she didn't even touch Xu Nannan's hair, panting for breath.

Liu Dahong couldn't stand it anymore, sticking in his waist and said, "I said you've made trouble. If you have enough trouble, go home quickly. Now Nannan and the others are back, it doesn't matter what happened to our family. If you make trouble again, let's go to the township government."

Sister Xu Nannan didn't come back just now, she didn't have the confidence, now that everyone is back, she is still afraid of something. A letter of introduction was opened soon? This is not against the law.

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she couldn't wait to bite her teeth in anger. Originally, I wanted to take advantage of this incident to show Xu Gensheng how good she was, and let the villagers know that she was not easy to provoke. Before the outcome was determined, Jiansheng returned with his two children. It's not interesting anymore.

The old lady was not reconciled, and after she was overthrown by Xu Jiansheng, she didn't get the result she wanted, and she couldn't hold her breath.

What kind of face will she have after leaving like this?

"Mom, we can't forget it, so why don't we have to make compensation from their family." Zhang Cuiqin said with no mercy.

Liu Qiao, who had been silent on the side, helped the old lady and said, "Mom, you see that the eldest brother also came back with Erya and Siya. Isn’t it necessary to discuss Erya’s major issues? When I look back, I have to go back to work. It’s not good to delay the time. Let’s go back and do serious business as soon as possible. Let’s talk about the affairs of Captain Xu’s house later."

Xu Nannan secretly said that it's no wonder that the old lady likes the third wife. Seeing how clever people are and the old lady wants steps, she immediately sent one over.

Sure enough, the old lady snorted, "If it weren't for the third daughter-in-law to say good things for you, I wouldn't forget it today." He glared at Xu Jiansheng and said, "I must teach you a good lesson if you don't take the two girls home. Teach them!"

After finishing talking, he stood up straight and allowed the two daughter-in-laws to help them go home together, which looked like an ancient old prince.

The old man in the village looked at Mrs. Xu enviously. I don't know how Mrs. Xu taught her sons and wives. They are so obedient.

As soon as the Xu family left, the excitement disappeared, and the others gradually dispersed. Xu Gensheng looked scared and said to Liu Dahong, "Daughter-in-law, we will take care of her family's affairs from now on. This meal is horrible."

Liu Dahong snorted coldly, "I don't believe it anymore, I just took care of it." He reached out and nodded Xu Gensheng's head, "You're still a captain. What's so scary? We're not breaking the law. Let's talk about it. , You are not doing this for nothing. How much help Nan Nan has done to our family? If you are embarrassed to say this, I am embarrassed for you."

She Liu Dahong has never been afraid of anyone in her life. The more the old lady is making trouble, the more she has to take care of this nosy!

Old lady Xu didn't know that she was self-defeating this time. Not only did she fail to deter Xu Gensheng, she also made Liu Dahong confront her. If you know, I'm afraid that she will have to spray another blood.

At the moment she was sitting in the hall, with a cold face, looking at Xu Jiansheng and his daughter who were sitting next to each other.

Old man Xu sat on the side and rolled the shredded tobacco, without any intention of interfering with this matter.

The old lady didn't speak, and no one dared to speak. Zhang Cuiqin wanted to speak, but Xu Jianhai stopped him. "Mom didn't speak, what are you doing?"

Zhang Cuiqin looked at Xu Nannan unwillingly with her mouth pursed. Forget it, this girl is going to marry anyway, so I won't see it or worry about it in the future.

Just like Zhang Cuiqin thought, the old lady was thinking about it too. After brewing her emotions for a while, she felt it was almost done, and coughed heavily.

Liu Qiao quickly poured a glass of boiled water.

Old lady Xu took a sip and looked at Xu Jiansheng, "I don't care about you anymore about this matter today. Who made you my son? But you can't let her go anymore about this girl. A person who secretly ran out with Si Ya, and didn't want to worry about the adults in the family. It's really lawless. I have to treat her well." The tone of the last few words is almost gritted teeth.

Xu Xiaoman shrank his neck and held Xu Nannan's hand tightly.

Xu Nannan patted her hand and smiled at the corner of her mouth, "Milk, I was really wrong about this. I shouldn't leave without telling my family, but I'm also scared. You want to take me away. But I can't bear to be at home, so I can only find my parents."

The old lady wanted to take the opportunity to attack, but she refused to let her have a chance. "Milk, you see that I have admitted wrong, so don't be mad, get angry, and my dad is going to worry about it." As he said, his eyes blinked triumphantly at Mrs. Xu.

The old lady's heart was blocked all at once, "You **** girl!"

"Mom, Nan Nan has admitted wrong, so don't be angry anymore." Xu Jiansheng couldn't stand it anymore and said directly.

No matter what, the girl confessed her mistake, and it would be too much to criticize the child again.

And he was still very moved by Nan Nan's maintenance of him just now. At that time, there were so many people, no one spoke for him, so Nan Nan spoke alone.

"Where is she sincerely confessing her mistake? This is deliberately to anger me!" Old lady Xu slapped the ground fiercely and said viciously.

Xu Jiansheng frowned, feeling that the old lady was a little reluctant. Although filial, but as a man, who has no temper. He saw this in his eyes today, and the old lady did have a deliberate feeling of targeting Nan Nan.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiansheng felt even more uncomfortable. Raising the daughter at home is because he trusts the family and feels that the family will be kind to his daughter. But now it seems that this is not the case.

"Mom, Nan Nan went to the city this time because he didn't want to marry someone. This is another reason. Let's forget it. She brought Xiaoman into the city and suffered a lot of hardship along the way, so don't stop. Blame her."

This is the first time that Xu Jiansheng has defended Xu Nannan so firmly. Not only the old lady, but even the two brothers of the Xu family were a little surprised. You know, what the old lady said before, the eldest brother never refuted it. Because he is the eldest son, he is supposed to provide for the elderly, but when he joins the army and lives in the city, he owes the old man himself.

Mrs. Xu's complexion also changed several times.

Zhang Cuiqin finally couldn't help saying, "Big brother, mom let Erya get married because it's good for her, what a good family, ordinary people can't find it. Mom is bothering her, she blamed her wrongly, secretly Running to the city to file a complaint, does this make people not angry?"

"So good, why don't you let Sister Honghong marry, she is older than me." Xu Nannan interrupted.

Xu Jiansheng also nodded, "Honghong is bigger than Nannan. She is still studying, and Nannan is not in a hurry. Mom, I know the life at home is not easy, and we will save a little bit in the city in the future and get more back."

Hearing that Xu Nannan was going to compare with her daughter Xu Hong, Zhang Cuiqin subconsciously wanted to say, are you worthy? But looking at Xu Jiansheng next to her, she didn't dare. But when I heard Xu Jiansheng's words, I became anxious. They save some points in the city, isn't this just to save some points for her son and daughter. For such a girl, why? !

"Mom, look at how big brother is always defending Erya." Zhang Cuiqin pouted and looked at Granny Xu.

"She is my daughter, why can't I protect her?" Xu Jiansheng said with a straight face. Zhang Cuiqin was also a little angry for these three times. I didn't think this sister-in-law was a provocative person before, and her business was everywhere.

Zhang Cuiqin was so scolded by Xu Jiansheng, her heart was tense, and she didn't dare to speak anymore.

"I came back today because of Nan Nan. Nan Nan is still young, and Li Jing and I both decided to let her stay at home for two more years. I went to the mine to report this month, worrying that we would secretly marry Nan Nan. If Nan Nan is really allowed to marry, the mine will have to report to the police and say we are engaged in feudalism."

Xu Jiansheng's anger was completely provoked, and he became more determined about Xu Nannan's refusal to marry. He also thought it was for the good of his daughters before, and it would be good to find a good wife. But now he feels more and more that it's not like that. This sister-in-law was obviously a picker. When she was at Xu Gensheng's house, she yelled at him to beat the old lady. Now that Nan Nan is so anxious to marry, it's not a good thing at first sight.

After all, I have been a soldier and have seen the world outside, so my mind is naturally not stupid. In the past, I didn't bother to care about these little things in the family. Now that I’m willing to take a look at it, I can naturally see the way.

Xu Nannan was not too surprised by Xu Jiansheng's changes. She even took it for granted. Although she did not have much contact with Xu Jiansheng, according to the original owner’s memory and the conclusions drawn from these contacts, Xu Jiansheng’s temperament is most similar to that of Old Man Xu. I am confused, and I will become sensible when I get involved with him.

It should be said that Xu Jiansheng's present performance is proud of the old lady's slander on him. In Xu Gensheng's house before, Xu Jiansheng was accused by everyone, and he tasted the power of his family. Naturally, he would not trust his family wholeheartedly as before.

The old lady is stealing chicken but not losing rice.

Mrs. Xu didn't expect her son to be so tough this time. She was worried that the soft-eared son was persuaded by Erya and came back to stop this, so she took advantage of the topic to make a fuss and made her son feel guilty. It will be difficult to refute her decision later.

Who knew that his son was so tough this time.

She gritted her teeth, "Who are you scaring? The factory is still taking care of our family's affairs? She is a girl in the village, and the people in the mine are idle and doing nothing."

"Mom, this is true. I promised the mine. If someone knows that we married Nan Nan, I won't be able to keep my job. If I'm not sure, I will send it to the Public Security Bureau." Xu Jian Sheng said seriously.

"Huh, you can't keep your job?" Old man Xu finally spoke, almost unable to hold his cigarette.

Xu Jiansheng nodded, "Yes, this is what the director of the Women's Federation came from home to say."

Xu Nannan said, "Yes, Grandpa, Director Zhu still asks me to visit her every month, for fear that I will be sent back to sell."

"It's ugly if you sell it or not." Grandpa Xu frowned. The wrinkles on his forehead were crumpled, and the ravines were distinct. He took a puff of cigarette, "If this is the case, then forget it. Anyway, Nan Nan is still young."

He doesn't care about other things, but his son's future is his face. If the boss also ran back to work in the field, what could they expect from the Xu family?

There is no need to make trouble for a girl, the boss has no future.

Mrs. Xu was unwilling to say, "I don't believe in so much nosy in the mine."

"You don't believe it, what if someone really takes care of it?" Grandpa Xu anxiously tapped the tabletop with his cigarette. The tone is also a little heavier than just now. "The limelight has been tight in the past two years, and you don't know that you have been thinking about messy things all day long."

When Old Man Xu said that, Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth bitterly, "Then stay at home for two years. I didn't really let her marry, or I wanted her to spend a few years at someone's house. , She doesn't appreciate it, don't blame me for being a grandma in the future."

Xu Nannan smiled slightly, "Milk, I don't blame you, I remember you. Remember for a lifetime!" Remember how bad your dead wife is, and write a book for your old man in the future to alert future generations.

Xu Jiansheng laughed too, and couldn't help reaching out and touching Xu Nannan's head, "This is good, and I can't be fooling around if I want to listen to adults at home in the future."

Seeing this harmonious picture of father and daughter, Mrs. Xu crushed her silver teeth. The complexions of Zhang Cuiqin and Liu Qiao beside them were not very good. But Liu Qiao smiled in just a moment, "Big brother hasn't eaten yet, do you want to make something to eat?"

Granny Xu kept silent.

Grandpa Xu waved his hand, "Go make something to eat. It's noon. I must be hungry."

Under Xu Jiansheng's hard-line attitude and the advice of Grandpa Xu, things calmed down so quickly, even the old lady found it a little unacceptable.

Before Liu Qiao was going to cook, the old lady sulked into the house. Grandpa Xu glanced at her from the corner of his eye, stood up with a smoke gun and followed into the house.

When Xu Jiansheng looked at his parents, he also sighed, feeling a little guilty.

During the meal, Xu Jiansheng absent-mindedly ate with the two children. From time to time, his eyes looked into the old lady's room.

Just when Xu Nannan thought that Mrs. Xu would definitely fight Xu Jiansheng this time, Mrs. Xu came out with red eyes.

Grandpa Xu also followed behind, sighing from time to time.

The old lady just sat at the table, unexpectedly there was no trouble.

Xu Jiansheng's heart also softened, "Mom, I am not filial, which makes your old man uncomfortable."

Granny Xu waved her hand, "Don't mention this, it's all over. Anyway, I'm also good for Erya, so let's just leave it if she is not happy. I just thought of your childhood, and I felt a little uncomfortable. When you were a kid, you were more obedient. Ah, help me take care of my two younger brothers. At that time, I felt that your child must be promising in the future. Now that you are promising, I can't help my mother." After speaking, I wiped away my tears.

Xu Nannan watched from the side and forgot to eat in surprise.

Oh my God, what did the old man and the old lady say in the room, this old lady was also crossed, right now, she was making trouble, and now she has a kindly look on her face. Even if she is not Xu Jiansheng, she knows that these words are directly on the cusp of Xu Jiansheng.

This old man and old lady are not simple.

After a meal, Xu Jiansheng and the old lady were already thinking about their bitterness several times, and the old lady's eyes were swollen. The guilt on Xu Jiansheng's face also increased.

To Xu Nannan's luck, the old lady didn't mention her to marry anymore, otherwise she was really worried that Xu Jiansheng, who was subdued by the old lady, would turn back.

Fortunately, Xu Jiansheng had no chance to turn back. After eating, he also hurried back to the city. Just before leaving, all the money in her body was given to the old lady, and she also told Sister Xu Nannan to listen to the old lady's words and stop making the old man sad.

Seeing Xu Jiansheng leaving, Xu Nannan twitched his mouth. Looking back at the old lady's gloomy expression, she decided to take Xu Xiaoman to the mountain farm. Otherwise, you will have indigestion.

It has not been two days since she left the village, but she feels that she has been away from the farm for a long time. When she saw He Qiusheng, she took the initiative to say hello.

He Qiusheng put down the pig dung on his shoulders, looked at her and said, "Have you come back from the city?"

"Well, I just came back." Xu Nannan smiled. Old lady Xu has been in the village for two days. It is estimated that everyone in the village knows that she has entered the city. It is not surprising that He Qiusheng knows.

He Qiusheng smiled, "I thought you wouldn't be back, how nice the city is, everyone wants to go to the city."

Xu Xiaoman rushed and said, "Uncle, the city is better, it's bigger than the town."

Xu Nannan sighed, "I don't want to come back from the city, but there is no way. We are not registered in the city, so we can't stay there."

He Qiusheng smiled and shook his head, did not speak any more, carrying a burden and went down the mountain again.

Xu Nannan looked at his back and became more and more curious. He Qiusheng didn't look like an ordinary villager, but what he was like before.
