Chapter 757: Playing Charades

"Father likes people who speak softly and gently, and may not be used to someone speaking too directly to you. But I think this way of speaking is concise and clear. It saves people from guessing what the other person is thinking."

Listening to his son's reminder, County Magistrate Xie was stunned. Is Yu Ge'er implying him again?

Thinking of Ma's delicate tone, and then think of Bai's impolite and sharp words. She didn't respect him as a parent official at all. She was so impolite when they first met. If they get familiar with each other, what will happen in the future?

Even if she saved Yu Ge'er, she is still a country woman. She has a vulgar personality. If she goes wild in the county with the name of Yu Ge'er's godmother, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the Xie family?

"Hey~, Yu Ge'er, we can't forget the grace of saving your life. You can thank her with a large sum of money, and you can give her a shop. No matter how you want to express your gratitude, your father will support you, but recognizing her as a godmother is a big deal, so forget it."

County Magistrate Xie looked at his son and thought of Bai's attitude towards him, and he couldn't help but dislike him in his heart.

"We are all respectable people. We can't get along with country people. We are not the same. If there is a misunderstanding or a conflict, won't my son's kindness be wasted?"

Hearing his father's undisguised disdain, Xie Yu frowned, then lowered his eyes and spoke coldly.

"Father is also a scholar. I thought you would agree with my decision. What's more, Aunt Bai saved me twice in a row. It's not too much to treat her as my biological mother. If it weren't for Aunt Bai, I would have been buried with Yifeng."

Xie County Magistrate: "..."

Sure enough, the child still has resentment in his heart.

"If I ignore this kind of rebirth, or use some vulgar things to pay it off, I will feel guilty. Moreover, the Bai family is not as vulgar as my father thinks. Although they live in the countryside, they are a real family of scholars."

"In addition, Bai Ansheng, the most talented student in the Bai family, has also been accepted as a closed disciple by the dean. His future is limitless."

Now, he wants to recognize his relatives. In a few days, even if he flatters others, they may not agree.

Hearing his son's tone, County Magistrate Xie was stunned. He naturally knew that the dean had accepted a closed disciple, and he also knew that the man was the son of an old friend, but he was not in the county at that time. Ma took the children to participate, but she didn't mention it to him too much.

After that, whenever he heard the dean mention that disciple, he always looked satisfied. Although he was curious, he didn't ask. .

It turned out that the Bai family was related to the Zhang family, and they were lucky.

"Well, you can make your own decision."

Xie Yu looked at his father, and somehow, he suddenly felt disappointed. His father, who had been immersed in officialdom for many years, had long lost the integrity of a scholar.

For a while, the father and son were speechless, and the air was filled with an awkward atmosphere. Magistrate Xie looked at the tired look on his son's face and cleared his throat.

"It's getting late. I have some things to do at the government office. Brother Yu should take good care of your injuries. If you need anything, just let me know. Your mother..."

When mentioning Ma, Magistrate Xie's face tightened. He had just confined her to the yard, so he naturally couldn't take care of the inner house.

"...If you need anything, just send someone to the front yard to tell me. I will tell the housekeeper to take good care of you. Of course, as long as I'm in the mansion, it's the same if you send someone to tell me directly."

After saying that, he stood up and flicked the wrinkles on his body without saying anything. He looked embarrassed at his eldest son who looked normal.

"Our Xie family has not had many descendants since your generation. No matter what the gap is between brothers, we must put the overall situation first. The Xie family still depends on you brothers to work together to carry forward."

Listening to his father's reminder, Xie Yu raised his head suddenly, and it took a while before he showed a half-smile expression.

"Father, what do you think your son should do to take the overall situation into consideration?"

Looking at the mockery in his son's eyes, County Magistrate Xie subconsciously looked away, feeling a little uneasy. Thinking about the behavior of the mother and son. His request was indeed a bit too much. But if brothers turn against each other, it will damage the reputation of their Xie family.

"Hey~, you are the eldest son, and you will take over the family business in the future. You will not only face Li Ge'er, but also the cousins ​​in the family. As a man, only by gathering the brothers in the family to work together can the Xie family be strengthened."

Speaking of this, County Magistrate Xie sighed helplessly,

"Li Ge'er has mediocre qualifications, and it is the limit for him to take care of his own small family in the future. As a father, I also know that Ma has indeed doted on Li Ge'er over the years. The Ma family is of low status and short-sighted. This is a flaw that cannot be changed. But you are the elder brother, and you have the same blood in your body, so you should take care of each other."

Listening to his father's earnest tone, Xie Yu frowned, making it difficult to see the emotions in his eyes. After a while, he raised his head and smiled.

"Father, what you said is wrong. Our ancestors said that brothers should settle accounts clearly. My second brother and I are not people with similar personalities. He has no respect for me and certainly does not regard me as his elder brother. Moreover, he has provoked me more than once or twice. If father really wants us brothers to be in harmony, it is better to teach Xie Li how to respect his elder brother."

"He relies on the doting of father and Ma to provoke me as an elder brother again and again. Father is busy with official duties and it is understandable that he is unaware of it. But if Ma says she doesn't know, I will definitely not believe it. The people of the whole county know that our Xie family is very lively and has exciting stories. He is always discussed by the people of the whole county. Father should control him first."

Xie County Magistrate: "..."

He knew that this kid was not easy to fool, and he was right. He shouldn't leave anything to chance.

"Father will discipline my brother and let him know how to advance and retreat. As for Ma, even if she has a low family background, now that she has entered the Xie family, she is your mother. Brother Yu should respect each other more. Everyone is mutual. If you show kindness, the other person will feel your feelings and respond naturally.”

"My father said this, but my son disagreed. Some people only try to push their limits. Rather than showing kindness, I prefer to keep an appropriate distance and not disturb each other. After all, there is nothing between Ma and me. Blood relationship. It is true that there is no respect, but in the same way, Ma also dislikes me in every possible way and wishes that I could disappear from the Xie family. "

Xie Yu said, looking at his father's stiff face with an indifferent expression.

"Xie Li and I were not born from the same mother, and we are destined not to live in harmony. It would be better for my father to accept the reality earlier. God is in charge of what we do. My son now believes in cause and effect. If there is a cyclical cycle of nature, there will be retribution. My son has nothing to fear. "

When Magistrate Xie heard this, his forehead jumped and he looked at him with squinted eyes, "What do you mean by Brother Yu?"
