Chapter 167 Relatives

When Su Niang came out, Ye Shifu's head pressed down even lower, and Sister Wan was also a little embarrassed and said hurriedly: "Su Niang, don't get me wrong. I didn't ask you for a penny of copper coins. It was Erlang who asked me that I told him truthfully...!"

Su Niang sneered, "You called Erlang too? What qualifications do you have to call him Erlang?"[.]

Sister Wan was obviously a person who did not bow her head. She stood up and said, "Su Niang, what you said is wrong. Erlang is your brother-in-law, I am your eldest sister-in-law. You can call him Erlang, why can't we call him Erlang? Moreover, Erlang himself said just now that we are our own family and can call him Erlang. Do you not listen to Erlang's words?"

Su Niang said coldly: "Erlang is my brother-in-law, but you are not my sister-in-law, so naturally you are not qualified to call me!"

"Oh!" Sister Wan also crossed her waist and said, "If you say no, then I'll ask you, is this man your elder brother? I'm his wife, so of course your elder sister-in-law."

Su Niang said, "You are so embarrassed to call yourself my elder brother and sister-in-law? Let's not talk about how you treat your father, just say that Dalang was seriously ill at the time, so I went to ask you to borrow some money to see the doctor. How did you do it?" Her face showed anger: "Your family has opened an oil shop at least, and I just borrowed a few taels of silver from you. Can't you take it out? It's said that you have a small business, and you have no savings, and you can only support your family... Dalang passed away, but you can't see it, so what do you say?"

When Chu Huan heard Su Niang say this, she suddenly understood something and frowned.

Ye Shifu raised his head, his face twitched, and he sighed: "Girl, it's all the brother's fault. You... don't blame your sister-in-law, if you want to blame me..."

"Of course I blame you." Su Niang's eyes were red: "You listen to her everything. Do you still remember when I was a child, I wanted to eat the dates on the tree next door. You are so small and so tall. Although you are afraid, you still climbed up... But what are you like now? Look at yourself..." At this point, Su Niang turned around, her delicate body trembling, and she looked very sad.

Chu Huan saw it and knew in his heart that although Su Niang was very resentful to Ye Shifu, she still had a brother-sister relationship and her mood must be very complicated.

Ye Shifu's eyes also turned red, and he said, "Girl, I'm sorry for you. It's all my fault... I've always wanted to find an opportunity to see you, but... but I'm afraid you will scold me... I heard that you came to the city, I... I'm so worried. Come and take a look. Now that I see you are doing well, I'm not worried." He stood up, looked at Chu Huan, and said, "Erlang, Su Niang married into your Chu family, and is the one of your Chu family. Although Dalang has gone, you are still here in your Chu family. You will take good care of Su Niang in the future..." He said this, shook his head, turned around and left.

Sister Wan hurriedly said, "Where are you going?"

"go home!"

"How do you go home now?" Sister Wan was anxious: "Do you want to freeze to death on the road? Why don't you come back soon!"

Ye Shifu ignored it this time and just walked out. Su Niang didn't go to see her, but her delicate body trembled. Chu Huan sighed in her heart, went forward, grabbed Ye Shifu, and said, "Brother, it's dark. You really want to leave. I'll hire a car to go back tomorrow morning, and I can't leave tonight."

Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps. Pang Liu had already returned with a bunch of things with a bunch of things and said loudly: "Sir, I have bought all the things, where can I put them!"

Chu Huan said: "Send it to the backyard."

Then Pang Liu sent the things to the backyard. Chu Huan said to Su Niang: "Sister Su Niang, look..." It means to let Su Niang cook.

Su Niang didn't say anything and returned to her house. Seeing that, she didn't want to cook this meal anymore.

Chu Huan smiled helplessly, but Sister Wan was already smiling and said, "It's okay, don't bother her, I'll go cook." She twisted her waist and went to the backyard by herself.

Chu Huan pulled Ye Shifu back to sit down again. Pang Liu quickly came back from the backyard, took out the remaining silver and said, "Sir, I spent a total of seven taels and five cents of silver, and there are still all that left...!" He only hoped that Chu Huan would give him some rewards, but Chu Huan took the silver and put it in his arms and said, "Pang Liu, have dinner together here tonight, and go back after dinner."

Fat Liu was a little disappointed when he saw Chu Huan take back the silver. He heard Chu Huan let him stay for dinner and was immediately happy. After all, he bought the dishes and knew that they were very rich. Without silver, it would be good to have a good meal. He said, "Sir, I'll help you. Kill fish and cut meat."

"Thank you for your hard work!" Chu Huan nodded.

"No, no, no, no," Fat Liu said happily: "It's a humble job." He went happily.

Seeing Ye Shifu full of thoughts, Chu Huan sat down next to him and whispered: "Brother, Su Niang can't figure it out for a while, don't blame her. You are brothers and sisters. This is an unchangeable fact and will soon be relieved."

Ye Shifu sighed, "Erlang, let's not hide it from you. Dalang is seriously ill. I also want to get some money to support him, but the money in the house is in her hands. Her father left an oil shop. Although I married her, my family pointed to the oil shop and lived in it, so... so I gave in to her everything. I was too cowardly at the beginning...!" He sighed again, looking helpless.

Chu Huan already understood the grudge between the brother and sister at this time.

Ye Shifu married Wan Jie'er and got the oil shop handed down by Wan Jie'er's father. This is why Ye Shifu was timid and cowardly. From the beginning, Ye Shifu had no right to speak at home and had no control over the family's financial power. Therefore, when Su Niang was killed, Ye Shifu was willing but not capable enough. Perhaps because Wan Jie'er was not very filial to Su Niang's father, this made the brother and sister aggrieved.

"I got sick half a year ago and my health was getting weaker day by day. She spent the family savings to treat me, but...!" Ye Shifu sighed, "Forget it, I won't talk about these things. Erlang, I will feel relieved if you take good care of Su Niang in the future." Looking at Chu Huan, "Erlang, I'm sorry for you. You can still treat me like this, I... I'm very happy!"

Suddenly, I heard footsteps coming from my side, but Ru Lian came out of her mother's room and said softly: "Brother Chu, are you back?"

The little nun looked so cute without wearing a nun's clothes. Chu Huan laughed and said, "I just came back. How are you doing these days?"

"Okay." Rulian nodded and said softly: "Brother Chu, Mother Chu asked you to go there!"

She doesn't call Chu Li's "mother-in-law" now, but "Mama Chu". Chu Huan got up and said, "Brother, you sit for a while." When she arrived in her mother's room, Chu Li was lying on the bed and said softly, "Erlang, are you back?"

"Yes!" Chu Huan sat next to his mother: "Mom, how are you doing well in the past few days?"

Chu Li smiled and said, "Su Niang and the girl are both careful, and she is very good." He lowered his voice and said, "Have his elder brother and sister-in-law come to the house?"

"Yes!" Chu Huan nodded.

Chu Li thought for a while and sighed, "If you come, just treat it well. Su Niang only has such an older brother. Even if she misunderstood, her blood is thicker than water. For Su Niang's sake, she should treat them kindly. A few days ago, I heard your uncle mention them that the oil shop was not open, but was given to others. Although his sister-in-law was mean, she was still good to his elder brother. She used all the savings in the family to treat his elder brother. Now she thought she was in trouble, so she came to ask for help...!"

Chu Huan frowned and said, "They are in trouble now?"

"Your uncle doesn't know the details and can't explain it clearly." Chu Li sighed lightly: "But even the oil shop has been paid out, and it's always at the end of the road. Our house still owes money to the house and is not affordable, but... but if you can, please help me..."

Chu Huan nodded, reached out to cover her mother with a quilt, and said softly: "Mother, the child knows how to deal with it."

During dinner, Su Niang didn't come out, while Ru Lian was serving Chu Li's meal. Apart from Ye Shifu and his wife, there were only Chu Huan and Pang Liu at the dinner table.

I have to say that Sister Wan is good at cooking and the dishes they make are full of flavor. Pang Liu is not polite, and she is very comfortable to eat and drink. However, Sister Wan sighed at the dinner table: "Erlang, your house is really generous, and even the kitchen is very big... Why don't you buy a few servants in such a big house?"

Pang Liu chewed beef in her mouth and said, "Our General Wei has a bright future. What is this house? It takes less than a year or two to have a bigger house. The front and back yards are larger, and there is also a rockery pool and a garden. It was the real style at that time."

Sister Wan'er's eyes shone and she said, "There is still a garden? That must be not cheap, right?"

"Of course it's not cheap." Pang Liu took a few glasses of wine and became excited: "But then, there will naturally be someone to bring it up. Adults want it, so there is no need to worry about it. I, Pang Liu, will guard the yard for adults at that time...!"

Chu Huan glanced at him and said, "Drink more and talk less!"

Fat Liu didn't dare to say much, so he hurriedly stopped.

However, Sister Wan said with envious expressions: "Erlang is really promising, and this official must be getting bigger and bigger. Erlang, do you want to employ people in your mansion? Do you think your elder brother and I will succeed?"

Chu Huan was stunned.

"This official keeps the front door for you, and your elder brother can guard the back door for you." Sister Wan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I can cook for your mansion. Look, sister-in-law, is it okay?"

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Sister-in-law is joking. There are three bricks and two tiles, so where can I use the upper and lower classes?"

But Sister Wan seemed to be serious and said, "Erlang, sister-in-law is telling the truth. If you agree, we can stay now..."

Ye Shifu frowned, coughed, and signaled that Sister Wan should not say much. Sister Wan gave him a blank look and said, "It's my brother, what are you doing when you see him? Erlang Ruo really uses us, so of course we have to do our best."

Chu Huan hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, eat more vegetables. If I need help from my elder brother and sister-in-law in the future, I will naturally speak."

"Then it's decided." Sister Wan said happily: "We are waiting for your letter. As long as you pass on a message, we will come and help you do things..."

After dinner, Pang Liu was about to leave. Chu Huan finally called him, took out twenty taels of silver, and said, "Please take these silver first, buy some new clothes for your family, and buy some New Year's goods... But the ugly thing is ahead. If the money is used improperly, don't blame me for turning against me."

Fat Liu took the silver and was ecstatic, waiting day and night. Good things finally came. He made up his mind to follow Chu Huan and swear to the sky: "Sir, don't worry, if I Fat Liu do whatever you want, you can do it." Huantian went with joy and smiled, riding a horse on the road humming songs. Although it was cold and cold, his whole body was warm.

Ye Shifu and his wife stayed to rest on that night, and Su Niang never went out. The next morning, Chu Huan hired a carriage, but wanted to send them back to the county town in person. He didn't have to send them away, but it was New Year's Eve in another 30 days, and he went back to the county town to bring Master Li to celebrate the New Year, but Su Niang didn't come out to send them away.

When he arrived at the other end of the county town, Chu Huan sent the two of them home first and took thirty taels of silver. He only said that it was Su Niang's intention. The silver was used to treat Ye Shifu. Ye Shifu felt guilty and refused to accept it. Chu Huan advised him a few times and handed the silver to Sister Wan. Sister Wan smiled and praised Chu Huan for being conscientious. He even said that he wanted to help Chu Huan work several times. Chu Huan could only vaguely agree to ask them for help if possible in the future.

Leaving Ye Shifu and his wife, they went to pick up Master Li back to the mansion.
