Sui and Tang Dynasty Generals

Chapter 20 The Two Eldest Sisters of Leishi Village
"What did you say to the Zhao brothers?"

After leaving Wanqiu and walking on the way to Lei Shi Village, Aunt Zhang still looked at Fu Zihou with hope.

The same was true for Fu Zhi, Tai Shi and others. They were all very curious about what method Fu Zihou had to make the woman from the Wei family look at Zhao Han differently.

"Zihou just met the girl from the Lai clan, who had a very good relationship with the girl from the Wei clan, and wanted to protect her, so he asked Zhao Gu to sacrifice for his brother and spend more time with the girl from the Lai clan!"

Seeing that his family was curious, Fu Zihou pretended to be helpless and said it.

Fu Zihou did not tell his family about what he had said. Even the Zhao brothers did not dare to imagine it. Even if he said it out loud, his family would probably think he was talking nonsense.

"I thought something else!"

Zhang lost all interest after hearing this.

Even Tao, who was standing aside, looked at Fu Zihou with displeasure.

"You, you know that the people in the Wei family are either high-ranking officials, generals, or dukes! And the girl from the Lai family seems to have an unusual background, and her words are not those of a weak person. How can you give advice to the Zhao brothers like this?"

Tao complained dissatisfiedly, after all, the Zhao brothers gave gifts and helped, so as long as her son had good intentions, he should not make things worse and damage the relationship between her son and the Zhao brothers.

"Mother! Hou'er won't do it again next time!"

Fu Zihou looked at his mother and quickly made the assurance in a flattering manner.

As the matter between Fu Zihou and the Zhao brothers came to an end, on the way to Lei Shi Village, it was time for Tai to settle accounts with Fu Zhi. Everyone in the Fu family watched Fu Zhi pushing the cart and begging Tai for forgiveness, and no one intended to speak for Fu Zhi.

It was not until dusk that the group arrived at Lei Shi Village.

Lei Shi Village is located on the way from Wanqiu to Kuangcheng County in the north. It is a small road entered from the official road. The geographical location is relatively remote. There are no more than a hundred households in the village, most of whom are surnamed Lei. Fu Zihou's second sister Fu Nian married into the village, and then the eldest sister Fu He and her family also moved in.

However, compared with the situation of the eldest sister Fu He's family, the second sister Fu Nian was much wealthier, so A Weng, Tao and others decided to settle down first in the second sister Fu Nian's house as she had better conditions.

What's more, after all, this is in Lei Shi Village. How could they not go to their own family first, but go directly to the back, to the Fu He family who just moved in? If the Lei family said that the Fu family looked down on the Lei family, the Fu family would really have a lot to say, but would not even bother to refute.

However, the Fu family only visited the Lei family once or twice.

"Who?"

Arriving at the gate of a mansion, Fu Zihou, carrying a package on his back, went forward and knocked on the door. Following questions from inside, Fu Zihou revealed his origins.

Upon learning that it was a member of the Fu family, the door opened slightly, allowing the man inside and Fu Zihou to see each other clearly.

"come in!"

The man who opened the door obviously knew Fu Zihou. He looked at the people from the Fu family behind Fu Zihou and said lightly.

"Thank you!"

If Fu Zihou remembered correctly, the man's name was Lei Kai, the son of his second brother-in-law's brother, and three years older than his cousin Fu Zhi.

Seeing Lei Kai's expression was dull and without any enthusiasm, Fu Zihou felt that the other party did not welcome him and his group very much. But seeing that they had already met, he could not help but go in, so he turned around and went directly to his eldest sister's house.

Moreover, Fu Zihou had also heard from his mother about the situation of his eldest sister's home, which was very small.

It was about to get dark. Grandfather had chronic cold legs, and after walking all day, it would get even colder once it got dark, so mother and the others also needed a place to rest.

"Is my second brother-in-law at home?"

Fu Zihou pretended not to notice and raised his hand to ask.

"exist!"

Lei Kai looked at Fu Zihou and said softly.

Fu Zihou nodded and said nothing more.

"Dad, slow down..."

Looking at his cousin's wife, aunt and mother supporting Grandpa into the gate, and seeing Lei Kai walking silently to the yard, Fu Zihou looked at Old Liu and found that Old Liu was also frowning.

But now, no matter how unhappy Mr. Fu was, he had no choice but to go in and shamelessly let Grandpa and his mother take a break.

Fu Zihou saw his cousin Fu Zhi at the back and was about to untie the luggage on the wheelbarrow.

"Cousin!"

Fu Zihou shouted but didn't say anything. Instead, he shook his head at Fu Zhi, indicating that there was no need to unload the luggage.

Fu Zhi saw the appearance of Mr. Liu and his cousin, and although he didn't know what was going on, he nodded. In the yard.

Hearing that everyone from the Fu family had arrived, Fu Zihou's second sister, Fu Nian, came out with a bulging belly and a happy face.

"Grandfather, mother, aunt, why are you here? Where's father? I asked Lei Kai to call my elder sister over. If my elder sister sees you, I don't know how happy she will be!"

As Fu Nian was speaking, he asked Lei Kai, who had just opened the door to the Fu family, to call Fu Zihou's eldest sister Fu He over.

Seeing Lei Kai with a sullen face just now, everyone was a little surprised to hear Fu He's words.

"Nian'er, where is your lover? Why can't I see him?"

Mrs. Tao watched Lei Kai leave, and looked at her daughter who was pregnant again, and asked curiously why her second son-in-law didn't come out.

"He's not at home! Grandfather, Grandmother, you haven't eaten yet! Lei Jing is not at home, and Nian'er can't call Lei Jing's sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. Nian'er will ask the eldest sister to prepare some food later!"

Fu Nian touched his belly with a smile, then looked at the houses around the courtyard with an expression of helplessness and regret.

After hearing Fu Nian's words, not only Aweng, Zhang, Tai, and Tao, but even Fu Zhi, who had just arrived in the yard, had a change of expression.

What do you mean by unmovable? That Lei Kai is obedient! And when Lei Kai opened the door just now, Fu Zihou specifically asked if his second brother-in-law Lei Jing was at home. Lei Kai clearly said that he was at home. Now Fu Nian said in front of everyone that her husband was not at home. This is clearly...

"It's okay! In this day and age, they are not family members, so how can we call them? Don't you think so, Nian'er!"

Zhang smiled and spoke in a friendly manner, as if she was very sympathetic to Fu Nian's difficulties.

"It's good that Auntie understands Nian'er's difficulties!"

Fu Nian, who was pregnant, didn't know the reason yet, so she didn't hear the hidden meaning in Zhang's words. She just wondered when her aunt became so easy to talk to. Could it be that after not seeing her for a long time, her aunt's personality changed?

"Oh, mother, what are you doing?"

Fu Nian looked at his mother Tao and asked, looking at the whole family, young and old, it seemed that they were preparing to move.

Tao looked a little embarrassed, and looked at her daughter with a sad look in her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, her elder sister-in-law Zhang spoke first.

"They are fleeing. The Fu family was invaded by refugees two days ago..."

yard.

Watching her aunt chattering on and on, the smile on her second sister's face obviously disappeared a lot, and she seemed a little worried that the Fu family would stay here.

Although Fu Zihou was very tired after walking all day with the luggage on his back, he didn't want to stay here when he looked at the yard, so he went outside with Old Liu to watch over the luggage.

After a while, I saw a woman walking hurriedly at the corner of a path next to a small courtyard, followed by a man who was also following quickly.

When he saw the woman, Fu Zihou finally smiled, and the depression in his heart caused by his second sister disappeared in an instant.

"Zi Hou!!!"

The woman shouted excitedly before anyone arrived.

"Miss!"

Fu Zihou looked at the woman and spoke.

With the call of "big sister", no matter how long they have been apart, the blood ties will make any distance disappear.

"Zihou! He's grown a lot bigger!"

Fu He walked quickly to Fu Zihou. Without even having time to greet Old Liu, he pulled Fu Zihou and looked him up and down, his eyes reddening.

The man following Fu He was wearing cloth, but he looked elegant. Seeing his wife holding Zihou's hand tightly, he saluted to Mr. Liu while breathing slightly.

Mr. Liu also returned the gift politely.

"Brother-in-law!"

Fu Zihou looked at his elder sister, who had been taken care of by his elder brother-in-law over the years and still had a plump figure. He looked at his elder brother-in-law and bowed with gratitude.

"Zihou is becoming more and more handsome!"

Qu Bo looked at his wife's brother with a smile in his eyes.

However, before Qu Bo and Fu Zihou could say anything more, Fu He learned that Grandpa and Grandma were in her second sister's yard, so she hurriedly greeted Old Liu and then ran quickly towards the yard.
