Chapter 5 Grandpa is back

Although the house has changed hands, the buyer has mercy and allowed the Zhao family to live for a few more days.

It was also miserable. The old lady of the Zhao family had already passed away. Zhao Shouye's wife was alive, but when something happened at home, he took his little daughter back to his parents' home.

As a result, there were only two father and son left in the huge courtyard.

All the previous few entry were locked, and the four of them could only temporarily settle down in the back room where the servants lived.

Even if the master is like this, the servants, maids, concubines, and others will naturally be sent back. Without the servants' service, they can only do everything by themselves.

It was getting dark now, and the fire was flashing in the kitchen that was covering the back room. It was the Zhao family preparing their supper.

Zhao Xian squatted in front of the stove, adding firewood to the stove with expressionless face.

Zhao Shouye stood beside the stove wearing an apron, skillfully putting rice and vegetable leaves into a large pot.

Zhao Shouzheng and his son sat on the threshold with their sleeves in their arms, looking forward to it.

They had changed to two meals a day and had porridge every meal. At this time, the bowl of porridge had become urinating without a trace. The father and son were hungry waiting for the meal to start.

The situation at this time is a world of difference from when he first came. However, Zhao Hao has calmed down. After all, the wealth and honor are fleeting like a bubble. Before he even figured out the situation, he was knocked down to the world. If he hadn't really possessed it, there would be no great loss.

What made him admire was that his uncle and father had very strong psychological qualities. After only two or three days, they should eat and drink. There was no sign of collapse at all, and they did not know whose genes were so powerful.

"Brother, put some more rice." Zhao Shouzheng saw that his elder brother had just put two handfuls of rice, and he stuck his grain bag and asked for it.

"I still feel that I'm not eating for free! I'm using the official's Lumi now." Zhao Shouye was unmoved and gave him a blank look and said, "I just knew that I could stand by and watch and eat ready-made food, and there was so much nonsense."

"Then you rest, I'll do it." Zhao Shouzheng rolled up his sleeves and was about to get up after hearing this.

But everyone showed a look of horror. Zhao Shouye said with disgust: "Where you go, you won't eat anything you make."

"Then you ate two big bowls the day before yesterday!" Zhao Shouzheng said with wide eyes.

"Get out!" Zhao Shouye poured another handful of rice into the pot hatred, which made Zhao Shouzheng shut up obediently.

Zhao Hao squatted there, looking at the adults at home with no eyes, thinking to himself, what are these two things?

I've fallen into a big pit.

After cooking the porridge, the four of the Zhao family each held a bowl and squatted side by side in the porch. With the light of the stove, they started drinking it softly.

After filling in some hot porridge in my stomach, my uncle had the strength to sigh again.

"Oh, it's the fourth day, why is there no news yet? I think the old man is in trouble."

"Don't worry, brother, I won't." Zhao Shouzheng chewed the pickles while mumbled: "The radish is quite crispy, so pickle it tomorrow."

Zhao Shouye ignored the foodie and glared over him and said, "Why am I so confused? I've listened to your little bastard's nonsense?"

"If you really borrowed the 50,000 taels, grandpa would definitely not be able to come back." Zhao Hao curled his lips. Although his uncle was a shameless official, he had never eaten pork and had always seen pigs running? Why didn't he have any common sense of being an official?

"Listen, is this human word? The dog can't spit out ivory!" The uncle couldn't help but take a bite of porridge in anger.

"You heard that, are you talking about it? Your nephew is a dog, brother, what are you?" It's Zhao Shouzheng's turn to be unhappy.

"You just protect him! When the old man is killed by you, he will have to come back to settle the score with you!" In order to live for two more years, the uncle decided not to be as knowledgeable as the father and son. While standing up and trying to serve another bowl, he thought, "It's better to wear mourning tomorrow, carry the coffin to the Censorate to make a fuss to see if they will let them go."

"Do you want to kill me?" Then an angry voice rang in his ears.

"Dad, I'm trying to save you..." Zhao Shouye replied casually. Halfway through his words, he suddenly froze there, and his backbone stood up with a wave of cold hair, and he said with a tremolo: "Ghost..."

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked in the ass. "It's you, I, you big-headed ghost!"

"Dad, grandpa is back." Zhao Xian whispered from the side.

Zhao Shouye covered his butt and looked back, and saw an angry old man standing at the door, still holding a stance of raising his feet and kicking someone.

Not his father, who is Zhao Liben, a third-rank official?

After glanced at the shadow on his ground again, Zhao Shouye felt relieved and shouted in surprise: "Dad, why are you back?"

"Why, are you looking forward to my death outside?!" Zhao Liben looked at his children and grandchildren squatting in the porch with bowls, and became more and more angry and said, "

"I've only been away from me for a few days? Have you fallen into such a field?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a rumbling sound.

The children and grandchildren followed the sound and looked at Zhao Liben's belly.

"I'm hungry these days, can't I scream in my stomach?" Zhao Liben's face was not red, and he glared at him with a beard and said, "Why are you still standing there? Give me a meal!"

After a moment, the five grandfather and grandson held the porridge bowl, squatted in the porridge under the porridge, and continued to eat the porridge in a slight manner.

"Look, I'm right, I'll let you wait a little longer?" Zhao Shouzheng glanced at his elder brother, very proud of his foresight.

"Get out." Zhao Shouye ignored him depressedly and asked Zhao Liben in confusion: "Dad, why did they let you out?"

"They kept me from paying you money. If you paid, they would still keep me for the New Year?" Zhao Liben looked at the large dark house and couldn't help but tremble in distress and asked, "Why did it happen like this? How much did they force you to pay?"

"They want 100,000 taels. I sell all my property and only make half of it." Zhao Shouye replied honestly: "There are 50,000 taels left. I wanted to borrow a loan to make up for it, but it was ruined by that boy Zhao Hao."

While talking, he found that Zhao Liben's face turned pale and hurriedly said with concern: "Dad, you have suffered a lot in it, right?"

But when Zhao Liben was furious, he patted Zhao Shouye's head hard and cursed:

"You stupid pig! I'm going to be angry?! I have a ministry and a left minister. I'll make up for him 30,000 taels! You'll make up for another 20,000 taels? I've worked hard all my life and you'll be defeated by your prodigal son!"

If it weren't for the inconvenience of squatting on the ground, he would have to greet his eldest son together.

"Don't I want you to come out early?" Zhao Shouye had to hold his head and dodge, and shouted with grievance: "Don't you know how critical the situation was at that time? It seems that if you don't pay the money immediately, you will be punished..."

"Idiots, can't you tell me that they cheated you? Everyone always makes up for this kind of thing. How can I make up for my family?! You are not as good as a child!"

"You are not as good as my son." Zhao Shouzheng looked at his elder brother proudly.

"You're so proud, nerd!" Zhao Liben glanced at Zhao Shouzheng with annoyance, but his face gradually calmed down. After scolding his eldest son, he turned his head and patted Zhao Hao on the shoulder, and said in a gentle voice:

"Good grandson, give grandpa another bowl."

"Uh, OK."

Zhao Hao caught Kongwan blankly, and he finally understood that the source of the Zhao family's weirdness was here.
