Chapter 217: Unable to Express Pain
Bai Yunxi turned his head and looked at Bai Yunsong at the door with a surprised look.
"How did my cousin have time to come here?"
Bai Yunsong stood at the door with his hands behind his back, his face a little unnatural, he didn't know if he was guilty or something else, when he saw his cousin's cool eyes, he felt that he lacked confidence.
"Cousin, come in and talk."
Looking at the two niece's wives serving him tea and water, Bai Yunsong coughed.
"Cousin, about that house..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Yunxi.
"Cousin, don't mention the house anymore. I told my sister-in-law a long time ago that the house has nothing to do with us. It doesn't matter who buys it. Besides, my cousin didn't buy the house for himself.
"Now everyone in the village knows that my cousin is a brother who values love and righteousness. I just talked about you with the wives, and they admire you in their hearts. "
Being praised by his cousin in front of him, Bai Yunsong felt even more guilty. He had not gone out for the past few days.
He felt aggrieved and anxious at the same time. Because of the house, Zheng quarreled with him every day, crying and scolding, and said that she was unwilling to give the house to his second brother's family.
She also said that after Anbang got married, if he had two or three grandchildren, the house would come in handy.
Although he wanted to do so, the public opinion in the village made him breathless. His cousin's old house was like a hot potato, and he felt uncomfortable whether to lose it or not.
For this reason, his father also talked to him alone. If he wanted to suppress the public opinion and keep his Reputation, only by letting the yard to the second brother's family can the speculation in the village be calmed down.
Sure enough, as soon as the news was revealed, the wind direction in the village changed.
How they used to scold him, now they praise him.
This morning, the second brother led his family to thank him.
At this moment, the second brother's wife has taken the children to clean the yard. Anbang's mother has no words to say, and she is still lying on the bed gasping for breath.
At this time, Li put a bowl of sugar water in front of Bai Yunsong and added with a smile.
"Big uncle, don't you know that now everyone in the village regards you as a role model for the elder brother? I also want to form a group to let those elder brothers learn from you. "
Listening to Li's praise, Bai Yunsong pulled the corner of his mouth. This kind of compliment made him a little swelled, and made him feel heartbroken, and at the same time he felt guilty.
Because the original intention of buying the house was not to let the second brother live in it.
According to custom, after the death of the elders, the brothers divided the family property. Except for the eldest son who stayed in the old house, the other brothers divided the family property and bought houses.
At that time, the village will allocate homesteads and build houses for themselves.
The custom has always been like this, and the second brother is naturally no exception.
But now, because of the turmoil in the old house of his cousin, the second brother's family was directly resettled. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had done something particularly depressing and angry, but he had nowhere to tell it.
Thinking of this, Bai Yunsong shook his head and looked at his cousin.
"Hey~, I came here today to ask my cousin for help with another matter. "
Bai Yunxi raised his eyebrows,
"Cousin, tell me, you know my current status, it is not convenient for me to have too much contact with outsiders, and I am in mourning, it is good for others and ourselves to be more cautious."
The ugly words were said in advance to prevent him from making unreasonable demands.
Bai Yunsong nodded in understanding about this.
"This matter should not be too difficult for my cousin, do you still remember the scholar Chang who was in charge of the private school at that time?"
