Chapter 17: Unclear and Clear

Lu Yang said nothing.

His aunt is a confused person and it is impossible to reason with her. If an argument starts, he, the younger generation, will be the one who suffers.

However, the aunt who is confused will naturally be dealt with by the uncle who is clear-headed.

"What the hell are you yelling about, bitch?"

"I'm not dead yet. Ahem. It's not your turn to make decisions about our family affairs. Get out of here."

The uncle leaning against the head of the bed suddenly got angry.

While coughing, he bent down and took out a stick as thick as a baby's fist from under the bed, pointed it outside the house, and scolded his aunt who was jumping up and down, telling her to get out immediately, otherwise he would enforce the family rules.

Although my aunt was a little confused, she still wanted to persist.

But she was also afraid of her uncle's stick.

Because I would really beat her up.

He could only glare at the silent Lu Yang, then opened the door curtain and ran away cursing.

Lu Yang looked at his uncle.

I don’t know what my uncle will do next.

"dong dong"

His uncle dropped the stick.

He leaned against the bed, looking at his wife's back as she hurriedly ran out. After a long while, he could not help but sigh: "Xiao Si, listen to your uncle's advice. If you want to move back home, you should hurry up. While I am still alive and can still be the head of the family, otherwise..."

He didn't finish his words.

But Lu Yang also understood that it was just that several of his cousins ​​were now anxious to save money to get married, and the house at home was not big enough to live in. If they gave up even one room for Lu Yang to move back, it would be even more difficult for them to get married.

Lu Yang couldn't help but ask curiously: "Uncle, are you really going to return the house to me?"

Lu Yang's uncle glanced at him.

His eyes were strange, as if he was saying: What else? If I don't give it to you, won't you go to the village committee to seek justice? When the Lu brothers start a fight with Xiao Qiang, won't the whole village know about it?
Lu Yang couldn't help but be speechless.

It seems that my uncle still has some dignity left. As the old saying goes, "A man lives by his face, a tree lives by its bark." Before he dies, he always hopes that his reputation after death will not be tarnished.

It’s just that it’s a bit of a letdown for my son.

If I don't move back, it will be so difficult for my cousins ​​to find wives. If I move back, and then I lose half of the house, won't my cousins ​​be single for the rest of their lives?
Think of this.

Lu Yang said to his uncle, "Uncle, I see that my aunt is running so fast, is she going to get help?

Do you think that when Brother Ren, Brother Yi, and a few cousins ​​come back together, will they catch me, beat me up, and throw me out?"

"Rebellion, they dare."

His uncle's face changed and he bent down again to take out the stick hidden under the bed.

He handed it to Lu Yang and said, "Here, you can use this to protect yourself later."

It seems he is afraid too.

Young people have hot tempers and are easily impulsive. If a real fight breaks out, those guys of his will will not show any mercy and they outnumber them. If they beat up their only nephew, that would be bad. Not to mention a life for a life, even if the news gets out, the old Lu family will lose face. When he, Lu Dapiezi, dies and goes to the underworld in the future, he will not be able to explain to his brother and parents.

Take the stick.

While Lu Yang was touched, he couldn't help but become curious. Was this still his selfish uncle? Could he be possessed by his grandfather or his alcoholic father?

You're handing a weapon to your nephew to use to deal with your own son, right?

Don’t say it, it’s really cruel.

Lu Yang tried to swing the stick in his hand. It was really strong!
It's hard to tell what the material is. My uncle must have polished it for many years, so it's covered with patina, and the whole thing is shiny and moist. As long as you have enough strength, you can use it to hit your head, and it will definitely be as crisp as hitting a watermelon.

Lu Yang played with it for a while and then handed it back to his uncle.

Under the other party's incomprehensible gaze.

He smiled and said, "Uncle, I don't need this thing anymore. Besides, I'm not here to take back the house today. I have a few things that I would like to ask you to help me with."

"A few?"

His uncle thought he had heard it wrong.

Doesn't he know who he is?
If it were in the past when I could still move, even if I was a little lazy, I could still help a little as long as my nephew came to me for help, but it was limited to small favors. As for now, how can I help a person who is so sick that he is about to die?

I can only suspect that I heard it wrongly.

Moreover, this nephew actually said that he did not come back to fight for the house, which is something worth being happy about.

Lu Yang said: "It's a few pieces, uncle, you heard it right."

"Oh, then tell me about it."

His uncle also became interested.

The cough is half gone.

Lu Yang said: "I will be going on a long journey in a while, and I would like to borrow my eldest cousin from you to accompany me.

Let me make it clear first, it may take as long as half a year or as short as a few months.

It's just that a lot of the land at home will definitely be left uncultivated, but I won't let my cousin help me for nothing. I will cover the round-trip fare, food and accommodation, and give him five dollars a day. From the time he leaves until he returns home, he won't lose a penny.

Uncle, what do you think? "

"Oh, is there such a good thing?"

His uncle was surprised.

He even stopped coughing, slapped his thigh, and said excitedly: "Good, this is good, is it really five dollars a day, and it also covers his food and accommodation?

Let me do the math. Five dollars a day, that's fifty for ten days, and one hundred and fifty a month. This, this, this, is enough to catch up with the stable rice bowl of workers in the city.

Good, good, great, six months, my God, I can earn a full nine hundred yuan in six months, enough to marry a wife.

No, this is fine, how about you just give me the money directly when the time comes?

I'll do the distribution. Oh, by the way, we're still short of manpower. Do you want to invite your brother Youyi to come as well? Then I'll give him four dollars directly. No, three dollars. You can just give me three dollars a day, too?"

His uncle happily snapped his fingers, nodded, and shook his head from time to time.

He was calculating how to spend the money and how to keep it in his own hands so that his eldest son and his wife wouldn't take it all away.

Lu Yang couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this.

It seems that my uncle's old habit of greed for money has come back again.

"Uncle, why don't you just forget about it, Third Brother's legs aren't very convenient, and this trip is a long one. As for the wages of First Cousin, as long as you can convince First Cousin first, I don't mind who gets the wages in the end."

Lu Yang expressed his attitude directly.

His uncle was a little disappointed, but still said happily: "Okay, let's put it this way. Wait for the good news. I will definitely help you convince your eldest cousin to accompany you on this long journey."

He didn't even ask what his eldest nephew was going to do on this long journey.

As long as the money is paid in the end, it will be fine.
