……
Standing in front of Wang Shouzhe is a very well-dressed middle-aged woman. She has a beaded hairpin on her head, jade bracelets on her hands, high cloud boots on her feet, and a luxurious colorful moire silk skirt. She looks... Like a famous lady in the city.
In addition, she had dressed up carefully before coming, with makeup on her face and a little blush on her lips. She doesn't look like a forty-year-old person at all, but like a mature and beautiful woman in her mid-twenties, which shows that she is usually well-maintained. Moreover, the eldest brother Wang Shouxin should be doting on her and being quite spoiled.
My eyes are a little red, obviously from crying not long ago.
What is extremely rare is that she is also holding a large bamboo basket with something covered with red cloth.
When Mrs. Xu saw Wang Shouzhe being so polite, her original nervousness and hostility in her heart immediately dissipated a bit, and she immediately returned the courtesy honestly: "Mrs. Xu, pay homage to your fourth uncle."
"Sister-in-law, you're welcome." Wang Shouzhe smiled very sincerely, "Sister-in-law, come here, please come to the side hall to have a rest. My aunt is also here." With that, he politely led Mrs. Xu into the side hall.
Ms. Xu's expression tightened. When she saw Gongsun Hui, she hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Ms. Xu pays homage to Mrs. Hui." She has always been proud and arrogant. As a daughter of the Xu family in Changning, she married Wang Shouxin. She has the mentality of getting married. But no matter how arrogant she was, she did not dare to show off in front of Shanyang Gongsun's legitimate daughter.

What's more, Gongsun is still the wife of the previous patriarch, the aunt of the current patriarch, and her elder!
"Hey, it turns out that the Shouxin family is here. What kind of wind brought you here?" Gongsun Hui's words were slightly coercive, but he said with a smile on his face, "Come on, come on, sit down quickly As we speak, it’s time to try the Shanyang Xiaoling seed grown by Shouzhe’s grandfather himself.”
She adopted the tone of an elder and directly emphasized Xu's identity as Wang Shouxin's wife by saying "from the Shouxin family", which was obviously a warning.
"No, no, no, how dare I sit in front of Mrs. Hui." Mrs. Xu smiled awkwardly. She didn't expect that Mrs. Gongsun was here, otherwise she wouldn't dare to come to Wang Shouzhe at this time even to death.
Moreover, the tea that their mother and son drank sounded like spiritual tea. With her status in the Xu family in Changning, how could she drink spiritual tea? As for marrying Wang Shouxin, let alone mention it...
"Fourth uncle, you are the backbone of the family." Mrs. Xu showed a slightly flattering smile, handed out the basket in her hand and said, "Sister-in-law just sees that you work too hard in practice, so I will give you some fresh ingredients to supplement your health. Shenzi, I won’t interrupt your mother-son conversation right now..."
After that, she put down the basket and prepared to leave.
"Sister-in-law, wait a minute." Wang Shouzhe stopped him with a smile, "It's rare for you to come to my place. Let's have a cup of tea first. Besides, I haven't seen Brother Shouxin for a long time. I heard that he happened to have something to do and returned to the main house. I will ask the young man to invite him over so that we can have a meal and talk together."
"This..." Mrs. Xu was quite flattered, but looked at Gongsun Hui with some fear.
"Shouzhe is the head of the Wang family. Just sit down if he asks you to sit down." Gongsun Hui's posture became slightly more amiable.
Ms. Xu sat down coquettishly. Although she was dressed luxuriously, she showed no elegance at all in front of Gongsun Hui, who was relatively plainly dressed.
Wang Shouzhe called Wang Gui in and asked: "Instruct the big kitchen to cook a large piece of pig meat sent by the fourth old man. Don't stew the meat too much. In addition, find a good cook. Let's set up a small stove in the yard and chop two kilograms of Lingjiao yak meat. Well, bring the pot of Lingjiao yak meat as well, and you can take care of the rest of the fresh fruits and vegetables."
"Yes, Patriarch. By the way, the Sixth Master sent someone to bring a fresh red-scaled eel into the family ice cellar. The most precious eel blood was also processed into blood tofu. He said that you personally caught it, Patriarch, and it belongs to you. Only you are allowed to eat the ingredients from the private warehouse." Wang Gui reminded from the side.
"Haha, ignore what he said." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "Cut a middle section of the best red-scaled eel, and even bring the blood tofu. The rest will be put into the public treasury and distributed as needed for everyone to try. .After you make arrangements, go and invite my trustworthy brother."
"Yes, head of the family." Wang Gui accepted the order and stepped back.
"Fourth uncle, this, this is too rich...and too expensive for you." Xu's body was trembling, and she said weakly, "Make it simpler, simpler."
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Wang Shouxin is my eldest brother, and you are my sister-in-law. It is rare for our family to get together to have a meal, how can we be casual?" Wang Shouzhe personally took a teacup and poured a cup for Mrs. Xu. Spirit tea, "Sister-in-law, try this Shanyang Xiaoling seed first. Drink it while it's hot and the effect will be better."
Xu took a trembling sip of tea, and the bitterness and unique flavor of the spirit tea hit her. For a moment, she felt like crying.
I have been a girl for the Xu family in Changning for nineteen years, and I have been married to the Wang family in Ping'an for twenty-one years, but I have never been blessed enough to drink a cup of spiritual tea. The first cup of spiritual tea in her life was actually invited to her by Wang Shouzhe.
Originally, she came here with the intention of begging him. If that doesn't work, he will be prepared to make a big fuss by shouting and swearing in the streets and alarming all the clan members.
For the sake of her son, she didn't care about anything and was willing to show off her face.
But she never expected that Wang Shouzhe, a noble descendant of the family and the patriarch, would respect her so much and treat her sister-in-law so well.
"Fourth Uncle, that, that matter..." In an instant, Xu felt that she could not speak. If Wang Shouzhe treats her and his wife so kindly, maybe things will turn around.
"Sister-in-law, are you talking about Zong Wei's child?" Wang Shouzhe had no intention of avoiding this question, but said with a smile, "I have already taken care of this matter. I will wait for my eldest brother to come later. Let’s chat. Sister-in-law, please eat some snacks to cushion your stomach.”
"Yes." Mrs. Xu hurriedly swallowed her words. Looking at Wang Shouzhe's attitude, it seemed that he didn't want to hold on to it, but she still felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Not long after, the family cook came. After meeting Wang Shouzhe, she was about to light a fire in the small kitchen in the courtyard, but she was stopped by Wang Shouzhe: "Don't work too much, just cut the fresh ingredients. Cut the yak meat and red-scaled eel into thin slices and place them on the plate. The thinner the better. In addition, use high-quality charcoal to make a brazier and prepare a clean copper basin, clean water, and some salt."
Although the cook was confused, she didn't dare to disobey the master's orders, so she followed them.
"Zhe'er, what are you doing?" Gongsun Hui asked curiously, "What kind of brazier are you making on this hot day?"
"Mom, you will know it soon." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "This is a cooking method I saw in ancient books. It is unique and very delicious."
"You, I'm getting more and more clueless about you, just don't waste precious spiritual food." Gongsun Hui suppressed his curiosity, took Mrs. Xu's hand and started to greet her. She was very surprised at Wang Shouzhe's method of handling Wang Zongwei's matter. At least he didn't rely on the power of the patriarch to use brute force.
But based on her understanding of the Xu family, she shouldn't give up casually. Therefore, Gongsun Hui was even more curious about how his son would handle the next thing.
After a while, Wang Shouxin hurried over under the leadership of Wang Gui. As soon as he entered the house, his face turned cold and angry, and he scolded Mrs. Xu: "You ignorant woman, you How dare you, how dare you come to Shouzhe..."
Wang Shouxin is forty-three years old this year. He has a face with a Chinese character and a beard, and he looks quite calm and confident.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu refused to accept his words at all, and her temper that had been suppressed by Wang Shouzhe and Gongsun Hui suddenly exploded: "Wang Shouxin! What nonsense are you talking about? Zong Wei is like that, Can't I come and beg your brother to let him go? Zong Wei is my son, should I just watch him be beaten to death by you? Or watch his future be taken away by that compensation... by Wang Luotong ?"
Normally, her money-losing guy would probably have blurted it out. But in front of Wang Shouzhe and Gongsun Hui, she never dared to say these words, so she swallowed them in desperation.
"You, you, you... Shouzhe is the leader of the clan, not to mention that little beast deserves to be beaten and punished." Wang Shouxin said angrily with a red face, "If you hadn't protected him... I would have..."
However, his method obviously cannot suppress the Xu family.
"Sister-in-law, eldest brother." Wang Shouzhe stopped them by waving his hands to prevent them from getting more noisy, "We are all a family, what is the point of making noise? We all sit down to eat first, and talk slowly while eating."
"Yes, uncle." Mrs. Xu immediately put away her shrewish attitude obediently, and after sitting down honestly, she said gently, "I listen to uncle, we are all a family, no quarrels, let's be reasonable."
"Hiss!"
Wang Shouxin on the side took a breath of air-conditioning, wondering in his heart. Did the fourth brother cast some kind of magic? This was the first time in his life that he saw Mrs. Xu being so obedient and obedient. She suppressed her bad temper in an instant and could still be reasonable?
