《Ancient Wife [ DANMEI MTL ]》12: The Fourth Brother Arrives
Advertisement
After breakfast, Liang Han sat and rested for a while, and asked Zhang Qingzhu. "You've been staying in the house like this all the time, don't you go out for a walk?"
Zhang Qingzhu sat under the duvet. "What are you doing out? It's cold and there's nothing to play."
Liang Han suggested. "Go out and get some air. If you don't want to pick up some stones, I will find time today to get a chess board, and let's play chess."
Zhang Qingzhu was reluctant, "I can't play chess again. Let's talk about it, it's boring to play chess."
"It's just to pass the time, there is nothing to do in winter. And I play backgammon, the rules are very simple, you can learn it as soon as you learn it."
"If you don't play, you still tell me stories. Well, it's interesting to listen to the story."
Liang Han thought to himself, "Of course it's easy for you to listen to the story, but I'm so thirsty that it takes a lot of my brain." He turned his head and thought about what he could do.
Speaking of which, there is not much for adults to play, such as cards and mahjong, he can't do it, but there are quite a lot of games that children can play. When he was thinking about what he could use to pass the time, he heard someone shouting outside. "Xiao Zhu, is Xiao Zhu here?"
Liang Han looked at Zhang Qingzhu and asked, "Is he calling you?"
"It sounds like my fourth brother." Zhang Qingzhu hurriedly got out of bed and put on his shoes, and ran out while responding, "Fourth brother, I'm here."
Liang Han was speechless, "Yes, another bitter master."
In this case, it is not good for him to hide in the room. At that time, it would be hard to hide if he did something, so he followed Zhang Qingzhu out.
When he came outside, he saw a young man standing at the entrance of the courtyard. It was Zhang Qingyuan, Zhang Qingzhu's grumpy fourth brother.
Seeing Zhang Qingzhu running over with a smile, and Zhang Qingyuan glaring at him from afar,
Liang Han felt that it would be better for him to hide.
Leave these two brothers at home to talk.
So he took the pole and the wooden bucket, and said to Zhang Qingzhu, "There is no water at home, I'll go get it."
When passing by Zhang Qingyuan, the other party looked like a wolf, with a fierce expression that wished he could rush to bite him. Liang Han pretended to be very calm, and walked out of the gate as if he hadn't seen it. But even if he walked away, he could still feel that the other party was staring at him fiercely.

For the first time in his life, he really felt what it meant to be like a thorn in his back.
Liang Han breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Zhang Qingyuan didn't want to rush over after getting farther away. Then he sighed in his heart, "I thought this family would come to Zhang Qingzhu the next day, but I didn't expect to come here today. It's really big-hearted. Aren't you afraid that Zhang Qingzhu will suffer? What happened."
What Liang Han didn't know was that he followed a rule that everyone in the village defaulted to.
If Liang Han used force on Zhang Qingzhu, the victim's family would beat him to death and no one could help him.
The original owner naturally knew this rule, so even if he was usually rude, and he was still a ruffian, he was still afraid of death, so he naturally did not dare to do anything to Zhang Qingzhu.
After all, there are seven brothers in the family, and they can really beat him to death. Therefore, the Zhang family was not too worried about what happened to Zhang Qingzhu.
They was just afraid that their son would be too impulsive, and it would be troublesome if he started with Liang Han.
After all, they knew Zhang Qingzhu couldn't beat Liang Han just by looking at his physique.
So his mother was not at ease, and ordered the fourth son to come and see the situation. The reason why he only came today was because Zhang Qingzhu was disobedient and just came to Liang Han's house by himself.
Staring fiercely at Liang Han and leaving, Zhang Qingyuan scolded, "Damn."
Then he hurriedly asked his younger brother, "How is it, he didn't bully you?"
Zhang Qingzhu said proudly, "I won't give him another courage. Dare to bully me. Don't worry, fourth brother, I can still be bullied by others? You don't know how obedient he is, he will do whatever I tell him to do. He has to cook for me what I want to eat. He was the one who served me, he didn't have the guts to bully me at all. Let's go, let's go into the room and talk."
Seeing that his brother didn't suffer, Zhang Qingyuan was relieved, and asked as he walked, "When are you going home? Mother told you to go back quickly, what does it look like to live in this ruffian's house? It will be bad for others to spread some unpleasant words."
Zhang Qingzhu said indifferently, "Whoever likes to say something, let him say it, I am a kid, are you afraid of what others will say??"

Zhang Qingyuan frowned. "Why are you disobedient! When the time comes, people say that you are posting it to this ruffian's house, and I can't see you being mad at you!"
"I don't believe anyone who dares to say this in front of me." When he sat down in the room, Zhang Qingzhu smiled and said to Zhang Qingyuan, "Fourth brother, I'll stay for another five days and then go back. Didn't I say before, I want to eat his food and drink his food and I'll be mad at him, I've only been here for a few days. I won't be wronged at his house, I just let him serve me and save food for the family."
Zhang Qingyuan asked with arms crossed, "Then are you angry with him?"
Zhang Qingzhu smiled with a guilty conscience. "I keep finding fault and let him do this and that. He has to boil hot water for me in the morning and water for my feet in the evening. I can let him cook whatever I want, and every meal has to be delicious. I even scolded him, but he wasn't very angry."
Zhang Qingyuan frowned and doubted. "Can he have such a good temper? I think it's probably because he miss you, and the momentary enthusiasm has not passed, so he can bear it so much."
Zhang Qingzhu said nonchalantly, "I don't care what the reason is. Anyway, I'll stay for another five days and take advantage of him. Anyway, I won't marry him, no matter what he thinks."
Zhang Qingyuan worried, "How can there be what you said is so simple, this matter was decided by the village chiefs of the two villages, how can you still not marry?"
Zhang Qingzhu didn't care, "So what if it is decided? There is no matchmaker and no appointment, not to mention. I'm not married yet, so I'm not sure what happens. Besides, Liang Ruffian's injury is healed, and he won't be able to corrupt us by then."
Zhang Qingyuan felt that something was wrong, but he felt that what his brother said was reasonable. " Okay, I'll go back and tell my mother. You wait, when you go back, my mother will definitely train you."
"Alas, I'm used to being trained by my mother." Then he asked Zhang Qingyuan, "Fourth brother, Have you eaten breakfast yet?"
Zhang Qingyuan: "Have it."
"You can eat more. The cabbage rolls I asked Liang Ruffian to make are delicious. There is one left, and I'll take it for you."
Saying that, he ran to the kitchen and took the remaining large vegetable roll to Zhang Qingyuan, "Here, it's not too cold, you can try it."
Zhang Qingyuan, who ate Liang Han, was not polite at all. He took a bite and nodded. "Well, he has a lot of oil."
Zhang Qingzhu asked with a smile. "Is it delicious? That's why I have to stay for a few more days."
Zhang Qingyuan stared. "You just want to eat for a few more days?"
Zhang Qingzhu nodded. "Yeah. You don't have to work, just wait and eat, and there are people waiting, that's great."
"Okay, as long as your fine if you don't suffer. I won't be here anymore, I'll go back and give my mother a message." Zhang Qingyuan said and stood up and prepared to leave.
Zhang Qingzhu opened his mouth to let him. "Brother, are you not having lunch here?"
Zhang Qingyuan refused. "No. I can't eat well when I see that ruffian."
He thought that since Zhang Qingyuan came, he would definitely take Zhang Qingzhu away. It's also a good thing to think that this young man can leave, but he feel a little reluctant.
Liang Han dawdled for a while before returning with the water, and looked into the hall from a distance, but did not see Zhang Qingyuan's figure.
He poured water into the tank, wondering if the two of them had left. He walked lightly to the main room and listened attentively, but there was no sound of the two brothers talking inside.
He walked in, only to see Zhang Qingzhu sitting alone on the bed eating walnuts.
He was a little happy to see that he didn't leave, but he didn't want to show it on his face and asked, "Your fourth brother is gone?"
Zhang Qingzhu stabbed him with a smile, "Go away, He is annoyed when he see you, and he can't eat with you. I didn't keep him."
Liang Han was choked, "...I have to fetch water."

ELC: I honestly feel bad for the Han Ge but who made the original body owner act sh-ts toward the Zhang family, but hoped they will see Han Ge's good side soon~~
