Chapter 2 Patriarch

After the clan leader spoke, the people present became more respectful and did not dare to speak wantonly.

On the other side, Liang Tiezhuang, who was forcing Han Xiuniang, shrank his neck and did not dare to speak anymore.

Han Xiuniang just sobbed softly.

When the patriarch was waiting to say another word, suddenly——

"Xiu Niang!"

"mother!"

Everyone followed the sound and looked, and it was Liang Tiesheng and his son who came in a hurry from the fields.

At this time, Liang Tiesheng and Liang Pingan came to Han Xiuniang. Liang Tiesheng said softly to Han Xiuniang: "You are not bullied, are you?"

Liang Ping'an also called out obediently: "Mother."

Han Xiuniang pulled Liang Ping'an into her arms and said while wiping her tears: "It's okay."

At this time, the old patriarch Liang Mingqing coughed again and said immediately: "Okay, since everyone is here, let me say a few words, what do you think?"

Liang Tiezhuang hurriedly said: "Chief, we are all listening to what you said, and we are waiting for you to make the decision!"

On the one hand, Liang Tiezhuang's words were a compliment to the old patriarch, and on the other hand, they were also an ambush for himself. "The old patriarch has the final say," and if he "can't make the decision," Liang Tiezhuang would have no say whether he would listen or not.

Liang Mingqing turned to look at Liang Tiesheng's family again, "Where are you?"

Liang Tiesheng and Han Xiuniang said hurriedly: "We also listen to the old patriarch."

Seeing that both parties were willing to listen, Liang Mingqing immediately said: "Well, let me tell you, Tiesheng, it's not like your elder brother didn't give you time. It's not like it was a month after your father died that he came to collect the house. Isn't it already?"

Have you taken care of your feelings?"

When Liang Mingqing said this, Liang Tiezhuang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately thought to himself: "I didn't expect that the old patriarch actually spoke to me."

In fact, Liang Tiezhuang didn't know what his old patriarch was thinking, even though the old patriarch was the head of the clan and also had a reputation as a scholar.

But as the saying goes, "If you don't win a job, you won't be able to get into the palace." That is to say, only when you win a job, can you truly distance yourself from the common people.

Although scholars have received some preferential and exemption policies from the imperial court, they are not large and they are still ordinary people after all. There is another saying that they are called "poor scholars".

It can be seen that to "come into the palace", you still have to lift people.

Liang Mingqing is both a scholar and a clan leader, so he must have a better life than ordinary scholars and common people.

But Liang Tiezhuang relied on his good business acumen and made a lot of money selling rice, and his life was much smoother than that of the clan leader Liang Mingqing.

Therefore, Liang Mingqing secretly wanted to take this matter as the matter at hand and sell it to Liang Tiezhuang.

Maybe there will be something that requires Liang Tiezhuang’s help in the future?

When Liang Mingqing said this, both Liang Tiesheng and Han Xiuniang became anxious.

Liang Tiesheng even cried: "Here, now we leave this house, are we going to sleep in the wilderness by the roadside?"

Han Xiuniang cried directly: "Patriarch, how can you be so biased in favor of your eldest brother?"

Liang Tiezhuang stood up at this time and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you complaining about the clan leader? The deed of this house is now written in my name. You have to vacate the house whenever I ask you. You have no right to bargain.

!”

Liang Tiezhuang said so heartlessly that Liang Tiesheng finally shed tears. He knelt down toward Liang Tiesheng and begged: "Brother, for the sake of both of us being parents, please, please slow down a little longer."

day……"

Han Xiuniang also knelt down at this time: "Brother, please..."

Liang Ping'an saw all this and on the way home, he had already asked Liang Tiesheng what kind of rift he had with his uncle Liang Tiezhuang.

It turns out that when he was young, Liang Tiesheng had a dull personality, while Liang Tiezhuang was smart by nature, so Liang Tiezhuang disliked Liang Tiesheng since he was a child.

The trigger of the discord between them was that Liang Tiesheng once couldn't stand his brother's ridicule. He had a dull personality and couldn't stand being provoked, so he broke his brother's head with a stone.

From then on, Liang Tiezhuang had a suspicion against Liang Tie, and after so many years, the resentment became even bigger, and he became more and more disliked.

After Liang Tiezhuang started doing business, he gradually became wealthy. Liang Tiesheng and Tiezhuang's parents also favored Liang Tiezhuang even more.

Their old mother passed away last year, and their old father also passed away last month.

Originally, the two elders favored the eldest son, and the deed of Liang Tiesheng's real estate was naturally transferred to the eldest brother, Liang Tiezhuang, before his death.

After procrastinating for a month, Liang Tiezhuang finally couldn't hold it any longer. Today he completely broke up with his brother and wanted to take over the house and drive his brother's family away.

Liang Ping'an looked at his parents kneeling in front of Liang Tiezhuang, pleading, but Liang Tiezhuang looked indifferent.

Liang Ping'an suddenly felt a surge of anger and rage. He knew that he was still young, with a nine-year-old body, and could not help much now.

His eyes couldn't help but turn red. After these days of contact, coupled with the memory of the original owner Liang Ping'an, he now really recognized his parents.

He was an orphan in his previous life, and he cherished this kind of fatherly and maternal love that was completely free of any utilitarian purpose.

But at this time he was powerless and unable to help, and his parents were humiliated!

His tears finally flowed down, and suddenly his eyes caught a glimpse of the branches of beans harvested at home beside the courtyard wall. The beans had been picked, and the branches and leaves were still piled in a pile beside the wall.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Liang Ping'an's mind. He stepped forward abruptly, and with the tears streaming down his face, he chanted in a sad voice:

"Boil beans and make soup,

Strain the bean sprouts to make juice.

The beetroot is burning under the cauldron,

Bean weeps in the cauldron.

Born from the same root,

Why are you so impatient?"

This poem is from the Three Kingdoms period. Cao Pi, the founding emperor of the Wei Kingdom, was suspicious of his younger brother Cao Zhi after he ascended the throne, so he ordered Cao Zhi to write a poem in seven steps. If he couldn't compose a poem, he would kill him.

At that time, Cao Zhi immediately composed this poem within seven steps.

On the surface, this poem talks about bean straw cooking the beans, and says that they grow from the same root. How can the bean straw cook the beans in such a hurry?

But in fact, it is a metaphor for the brotherhood between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. Cao Pi is so impatient to kill him. If they are not both born to the same parents, why should they be too anxious to kill each other?

At this time, Liang Ping'an suddenly thought of this poem. Isn't it just right to use this poem in today's situation?

After Liang Pingan finished reciting, most of the people in the yard were illiterate, let alone knew the meaning of Liang Pingan's poem.

So for a moment, the whole courtyard became extremely quiet, and everyone was stunned by Liang Ping'an's sudden poem recitation.

In the field, Liang Tiezhuang, who had also learned some literary skills since starting business, after listening to Liang Ping'an's poem, he barely understood the general meaning of the poem.

But on a deeper level, he was also a little confused and couldn't figure it out.

But at this time, looking at Liang Ping'an's desolate and sad look when he recited the poem, he subconsciously knew that this poem was probably not good for him.

So at this time, Liang Tiezhuang directly showed off his authority as an elder and shouted at Liang Ping'an: "These are adults discussing matters here, why are you, a child, making trouble here?

Hurry up and get out of here!"

Liang Ping'an naturally lowered his head after being scolded by this nominal uncle, but he did not retreat immediately.

Liang Tiezhuang saw that Liang Ping'an turned a blind eye to his words, and couldn't help but become even more angry. He angrily shouted: "Why, didn't you hear me? Get back!"

"etc……!!"

However, at this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded, and the voice even had a trembling sound.
