When Yang Qiubai married the original body, the wedding was hasty and simple. This was her second marriage. Because she broke her ex-husband’s leg, she left with almost nothing when she divorced him. When she married the original body, she had borrowed all the money she had, and the betrothal gift was pitifully small, so her dowry only consisted of a few wedding quilts and a bag of old clothes. She didn’t have a wardrobe or a dressing table.
Han Ze saw that all her clothes were piled on the chair and thought it was not a big deal. He dug out some elm wood and made a wardrobe and a dressing table for her in his spare time. He leisurely designed and carved two carved flowers on the left and right sliding doors of the wardrobe. He specially customized an oval mirror on the dressing table, and carved similar carvings on the mirror frame to suit the occasion.
Yang Qiubai fell in love with the wardrobe and dressing table at first sight. She stroked the carvings on the mirror frame and said angrily, “You should wait until the house is built before making a wardrobe. The house doesn’t match these beautiful furniture.”
Han Ze looked up at her and said, “I don’t plan to build a house at home.”
Yang Qiubai was not anxious about Han Ze’s performance during this period. He must have his own ideas. She asked, “Do you have any plans?”
Han Ze put down the carving knife in his hand and said, “I have considered it for many days and decided to move to the city. There are more people in the city who like handicrafts. In the countryside, we can only rely on acquaintances or the influence of our master to get work. We can’t get more than a few jobs a year and can’t make much money. Besides, the teaching environment in the city is much better than in the countryside. Our two children are good at studying. There is no reason to stay in the countryside and delay them.”
Yang Qiubai’s eyes were slightly sour. Jiaojiao was raised by Han Ze. She knew when she married here that the relationship between father and daughter was better than that of real father and daughter. Han Ze loved her very much and considered everything for her. She didn’t expect that Han Ze was willing to transfer Lekang to the city to go to school. This man really has no selfishness at all.
Yang Qiubai looked at Han Ze and said, “Han Ze, thank you.”
Thank you for accepting my son wholeheartedly.
Han Ze looked at her strangely: “Why are you thanking me for no reason?”
Yang Qiubai sniffed, smiled and said, “Thank you for letting Lekang go to school in the city.”
Han Ze frowned at her and said, “We are all moving to the city. Lekang is my son. If he doesn’t go to school in the city, where can he go to school?”
Yang Qiubai smiled and said nothing.
…
Since the family has decided to move to the city, Han Ze plans to stop taking jobs after carving the 18 Arhats bamboo root carvings for Boss Mi. Everything will be discussed after they get to the city.
Han Ze carved from the autumn harvest to the wheat planting. He had no time to ask about the farm work at home. Yang Qiubai was too busy to handle it alone, so she asked her brother from her mother’s family to come and help. After the wheat planting, while the weather was getting colder, all the 18 Arhats bamboo root carvings for Boss Li were completed.
When Mr. Mi came to receive the goods, he saw the 18 vivid arhats placed there, which was like a treasure. Through the carving of these arhats, he saw that Master Han’s carving skills had surpassed his master Master Chen, and even surpassed the master level. The original price of 1,500 yuan per arhat was obviously inappropriate. After discussing with Han Ze, he took them home at a price of 2,300 yuan per arhat, which was 800 yuan higher than the original price.
Han Ze worked for more than two months and earned more than 40,000 yuan.
The two brothers of the Yang family who came to help them with the work were so surprised when they saw the stacks of money in Han Ze’s hands. They came to their senses and couldn’t help sighing that this brother-in-law was not bad. He was not only good to his sister, but also could make money. They sister married the right person this time.
Boss Mi moved the Arhat to the car with a cheerful look on his face, turned around and asked Han Ze with a smile on his face: “Master Han, have you received any new orders recently? I have a piece of sandalwood and would like you to carve a figure for me. Do you have time?”
Han Ze thought for a while and said: “I don’t plan to take any orders recently. I want to move to the city. When I get there, it will be more convenient for you to ask me to carve handicrafts for you.”
When Boss Mi heard Han Ze say that he was going to move to the city, his eyes lit up: “Where are you going to move to in the city, Master Han?”
Han Ze shook his head in distress and said: “It’s just that I have this… I have this plan. I have been carving arhats for you for a while and have no time to rent a house in the city. Now that your arhat is finished, I am going to go to the city to see if I can rent a suitable house. ”
Boss Mi frowned: “What kind of house does Master Han plan to rent?”
Han Ze looked worried and said: “I don’t know much about the city. Considering that I need to do carving work and store materials in the house, there must be at least a yard. It can’t be a building, which is inconvenient to move things…”
Boss Mi frowned and thought for a while: “Such a house is not easy to rent, but you can still find it if you look for it more, but it is inconvenient to rent a house. You don’t know when the landlord will take back the house. In order to let you concentrate on carving, it is better to buy a yard. ”
Han Ze looked at him with a wry smile, shook his head and sighed: “Forget about buying a house, I don’t have that much money.”
Master Han said that he had no money, and Boss Mi was a little unconvinced.
Han Ze didn’t have the idea of telling others everything. He smiled bitterly and said: “Those in the house are the ornaments I originally carved. Boss Mi also saw it. They are not worth much. My craftsmanship started with Boss Chen’s Ruyi Guanyin root carving. I suddenly got a breakthrough. I didn’t make much money before.”
After listening to Master Han’s words, Boss Mi could not help but be surprised: Master Han’s skills improved by leaps and bounds as soon as he made a breakthrough. He only reached the master level of skills when he carved the Ruyi Guanyin root carving, but in just a few months, he has surpassed the master level. With Master Han’s speed of progress, he really didn’t know what level his skills will reach in the future.
He suddenly felt very fortunate that he knew Master Han when he was not famous, and could even help him. Even if Master Han became a celebrity in the future, he would remember him. Thinking of this, his heart warmed up, and he said, “Master Han, it only costs tens of thousands of yuan to buy a yard in the city. Master Han can carve a few ornaments and the money will be there.”
With Master Han’s pride, he couldn’t directly ask to lend him the money, so he could only think of a roundabout way.
Han Ze said with a smile: “That also requires receiving orders. If you can’t get orders, even if the ornaments are carved, you can’t sell them. ”
Boss Mi smiled and said, “Master Han, I like to collect antiques and valuable handicrafts. As long as I like them, I will collect them. I have an old Indonesian sandalwood at home and plan to carve a character ornament with a fire cloud in the sky; my wife is going to have a birthday, and I plan to give her a jewelry box. I have a Hainan Huanghuali wood. I want to ask Master Han to help carve the character ornaments and the jewelry box, is that okay?”
Han Ze was very embarrassed. He said, “It’s not that I don’t want to help you carve. I have to rent a house in the city recently. How about you wait until I settle down in the city and bring the wood to me, and then I will draw a picture and carve it for you?”
Boss Mi said indifferently, “My wife’s birthday is still a few months away. I can wait until Master Han settles down in the city and carve it for me… Master Han, I suggest that if you can buy a house, try not to rent a house. A rented house is always someone else’s. It’s okay to increase the rent at any time, but the key is that you can’t decide on the house yourself. They can take it back whenever they want. Then you have to find a house and move, which is too troublesome.”
Han Ze said helplessly: “Who would want to rent a house when they can buy one?”
“Isn’t there no other way?
“Boss Mi said: “Master Han, I will always ask you to help me carve handicrafts in the future anyway. How about this, I will give you an advance on the wages, and you won’t have to pay me when I ask you to carve handicrafts in the future. What do you think?”
Han Ze shook his head without thinking and frowned: “Isn’t this taking advantage of you? No, no.”
Boss Mi smiled and said: “Master Han, you may say that I am taking advantage of you.”
Han Ze looked at him, meaning to ask how he took advantage of me?
Boss Mi explained: “With the speed at which Master Han’s skills are improving, we don’t know what level his skills will reach in the future. If I want to ask Master Han to carve at that time, I may have to wait in line. I will put the wages here with you now. When I ask you to carve in the future, I don’t have to wait in line. I can directly enter the VIP channel. ”
After saying this, he burst out laughing. He originally wanted to help Master Han, but in the end, he felt that this idea was very good. He likes collecting, and Master Han’s craftsmanship will surely be extraordinary in the future. It will definitely be very difficult to get a work of Master Han at that time. Now that he has paid Master Han in advance, how can Master Han not carve handicrafts for him?
Han Ze looked at him with a smile and said, “Boss Mi, are you too confident in me?”
Boss Mi looked at him and said jokingly, “How about I give you more wages and contract all the handicrafts you carve in the next few years?”
Han Ze: “…”
Boss Mi restrained his smile and said seriously, “Master Han, please consider my words. Your home is here. Even if I pay you in advance, I am not worried that you will run away. Besides, Master Han’s skills are worth it for me to do so.”
Han Ze looked at his hands, raised his head and looked at Boss Mi in a daze, “My skills are so good now?”
Boss Mi smiled and nodded, “Isn’t it already very good? ”
Han Ze’s expression became serious, and he said solemnly: “Since Boss Mi thinks so highly of me, if I don’t agree, it would seem that I have no confidence. Don’t worry, Boss Mi, I will definitely carve your figure ornaments and jewelry boxes with all my heart.”
Boss Mi was very proud. Although the labor cost of jewelry boxes and figure ornaments was high, it would cost hundreds of thousands to buy a house. How many handicrafts would Master Han have to carve for him to reach hundreds of thousands. Thinking of this, his face broke into a smile, and he said, “I am absolutely confident in Master Han.”
Just as he finished speaking, the landline at Han Ze’s home rang.
Han Ze looked at Boss Mi apologetically, and Boss Mi waved his hand to indicate that it was okay and asked him to answer the phone.
The phone was connected, and it was Boss Chen who called.
It turned out that Boss Chen gave the Ruyi Guanyin root carving to the mother of a big customer, and the big customer’s mother liked it very much. At that time, she placed the Ruyi Guanyin root carving devoutly. Many guests who came to attend the birthday party of the big customer’s mother believed in Buddhism. They also liked the Guanyin ornaments very much and asked him where the Guanyin root carving came from. Those guests were either rich or noble, and Boss Chen could not offend them, so he could only agree to help them ask.
Han Ze apologized to Boss Chen over the phone, “Boss Chen, Boss Mi asked me to help him carve figures and make jewelry boxes. The two orders will take some time to complete. If you want to place an order, you may have to wait a long time.”
Boss Chen’s heart skipped a beat. He scratched his head and said anxiously, “What should I do? I’m waiting for the Ruyi Guanyin root carving to give away.”
If he could please any of those guests, he could help them a lot in business. He absolutely couldn’t let go of this opportunity.
Han Ze felt very guilty and said, “I’m very sorry, I really don’t have time. There are many famous carvers in our city. Why don’t you ask them to help with the carving?”
Boss Chen rolled his eyes anxiously. If those carvers in the city could have the skills of Master Han, would he still need to find Master Han? Besides, those guests have more connections than him. If there were good carving masters in the city, would he still come forward?
Boss Chen said: “Master Han, is Boss Mi next to you? Can I talk to him?”
Han Ze smiled and said: “Wait a minute.” He put the phone away, looked at Boss Mi, pointed at the phone, and said: “Boss Chen called, he wants to talk to you?”
Boss Mi shrugged, smiled and took the phone from Han Ze, he shouted: “Old Chen, what do you want from me?”
Han Ze stood Listening with a smile, not knowing what Boss Chen said, Boss Mi said, “That won’t work. I paid more than 100,000 yuan in advance, waiting for Master Han to settle down in the city and make a jewelry box for me, so that I can give it to my wife on her birthday.”
Boss Chen was secretly annoyed. If he had known, he would not have taken Lao Mi to Master Han’s house, and now he would not have to beg him. He said, “Isn’t your wife’s birthday in a few months?”
They are friends, and they will get together for their family’s birthday. He still knows when Boss Mi’s wife’s birthday is.
Boss Mi said, “Didn’t you ask Master Han to carve a Ruyi Guanyin root sculpture for you some time ago? Why do you want it again?”
Boss Chen hesitated and said angrily, “Just tell me whether you will let Master Han carve a Ruyi Guanyin root sculpture for me first?”
Boss Mi laughed secretly and said, “You don’t believe in Buddhism, so you won’t give the Ruyi Guanyin root sculpture to others again? Which big customer will you give it to? Tell me?”
Boss Chen didn’t want to talk about business matters, so he said vaguely, “Why are you asking so many questions?”
Boss Mi didn’t ask the truth. In fact, he was not interested in who Lao Chen gave the Guanyin root sculpture to. Instead, he said, “You gave Master Han’s work to others and got such a great benefit. Shouldn’t you express your gratitude to Master Han?”
Han Ze heard what he said and stepped forward and shook his head at him. Boss Mi winked at him, signaling him not to panic.
Boss Chen frowned, “How should I express my gratitude? Didn’t I give him an extra two thousand yuan?”
Boss Mi curled his lips and said, “For Master Han’s skills, you give that 2,000 yuan, do you think it’s much?”
Although Lao Chen is his friend, he admires Master Han’s skills more, not to mention that Master Han looks like an honest person who allows others to bully him, and he can’t bear to see Lao Chen bullying Master Han.
Boss Chen said, “Then how much do you think I should give him?”
Boss Mi held a cigarette in his mouth and said casually, “Don’t you have a small courtyard in the city? Give it to Master Han.”
Han Ze was shocked and hurriedly pulled Boss Mi’s arm, asking him to stop talking nonsense. No matter how good his carved crafts are, they are not worth the price of a house.
Boss Mi looked at him and told him not to worry, he knew it in his heart.
Boss Chen’s face changed slightly, he frowned and said, “My small courtyard is worth at least 100,000 yuan, and you asked me to give it to Master Han casually. You are too good at borrowing flowers to pay tribute to Buddha.”
He always knew that Lao Mi liked to collect and respected those carving masters. He didn’t expect that in order to please Master Han, he would actually cheat him, a friend of 10 or 20 years.
Boss Mi didn’t care whether he was angry or not, and said, “Forget it, go find someone else to carve your Ruyi Guanyin. Master Han has been carving ornaments for me lately and doesn’t have time to carve a Guanyin for you.”
Boss Chen was anxious. The guests specifically asked for the Guanyin root carvings carved by Master Han, not the Guanyin carved by random sculptors from other places. He said, “Isn’t it okay if I give him more wages?”
Boss Mi said without thinking, “No. Even if Master Han is willing, I don’t agree. After all, Master Han has to carve ornaments for me in the next period of time. Unless you agree to give him that small courtyard.”
He has always looked down on Lao Chen’s disrespect for art, and now he is using the artworks carved by Master Han to please customers. He has to extort money from him for Master Han.
Boss Chen was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He frowned and thought to himself that if he could please those distinguished customers, and they would just let him get a few orders, it would be enough for him to live on for several years. That small courtyard was only a few hundred thousand. He gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, I agree.”
He was so angry that his teeth were itching. He planned to hang up the phone and call his wife to ask her to incite Lao Mi’s wife and let him cheat him in front of outsiders.
Boss Mi hung up the phone proudly. Han Ze asked worriedly, “Boss Mi, what you just said is not true, right?”
Boss Mi raised his eyebrows and said, “It is true.”
Han Ze was anxious. He said, “Boss Mi, call Boss Chen quickly. I can’t take his house. No matter how good my skills are, they are not worth a house. I can’t cheat people. What will outsiders think of me if they know?”
Boss Mi said nonchalantly, “Old Chen will give the Ruyi Guanyin root carvings you carved to his customers. If those customers are satisfied, Old Chen will make a living in the next one or two years. You don’t have to worry about it. The money he will earn is enough to buy not only a small courtyard, but even a hundred small courtyards. He made money by giving out the Ruyi Guanyin root carvings you make. Isn’t it right for him to thank you?”
Han Ze was already shocked by the hundred small courtyards. He counted on his fingers and secretly calculated how many handicrafts he had to carve in order to buy so many small courtyards. This was an incredible calculation. He carved every day and might not make so much money even if he carved for half his life. However, Boss Chen could make so much money just by giving Guanyin to others. Boss Chen was amazing.
He said, “Boss Chen can make money because of his ability. I carve for him and he pays me. We trade fairly. He doesn’t need to thank me.”
Han Ze finally did not agree to take Boss Chen’s small courtyard. The handicrafts he carved would be priced at whatever price. He would not thank you just because Boss Chen was in urgent need of the Ruyi Guanyin root carvings.
Master Han did not accept the house given to him under such difficult circumstances. Boss Mi admired him even more. He was worthy of being Master Han. He was a master sculptor who could carve works of art with soul. His character was indeed extraordinary.
Boss Mi felt that such a noble master was very rare and worthy of their protection. He said, “Old Chen has many houses in the city. His small courtyard is not occupied and not rented out. Why don’t you spend 100,000 yuan to buy the small courtyard, so that you don’t have to look for a house again? What do you think?”
If he bought it with his own money, Han Ze would of course agree.
Boss Mi was very enthusiastic. He wished that Master Han would move to the city as soon as possible. He said, “I’ll help you buy a house. You can just carve the Ruyi Guanyin root carving at home. I must not charge you less this time.”
After seeing Boss Mi off, the Yang brothers were stunned. They asked, “Brother-in-law, is carving handicrafts really that profitable?”
Yang Qiubai finished washing clothes and came over. When she heard her brother’s words, she rolled her eyes, “Of course carving makes money, but not everyone’s carvings are valuable. Why do those people run all the way from the city to the countryside to find Han Ze to carve? Are there no sculptors in the city? After all, it’s because his skills are so superb that ordinary people can’t compare to him.”
The Yang brothers thought about it and it was true. The eldest brother of the Yang family said, “Han Ze, so you are moving to the city? What about the two children?”
In fact, what he wanted to ask more was what to do with Han Lekang. After all, he was not Han Ze’s biological son, and Han Ze didn’t need to support him.
Han Ze smiled and said, “Of course we should move to the city together. The schools in the city are better than those in the village in terms of teaching environment and teachers.”
The two brothers of the Yang family secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Brother-in-law is right. The schools in the city are indeed better than those in the village.”
As they were talking, Han Jiaojiao ran in like a gust of wind, crying and choking, “Dad, Dad, my brother had a fight with someone, my brother had a fight with someone.”
Han Ze and Yang Qiubai were startled at the same time. Han Ze hurriedly asked her, “What happened? Why did he fight with someone? Take me to see it.”
As he said that, he walked out, and Yang Qiubai and the brothers of the Yang family followed behind, chasing after him.
Han Jiaojiao was so anxious that she cried, and she trotted in front to lead the way.
Han Ze asked Han Jiaojiao as they walked: “Why did Lekang fight with others?”
Han Jiaojiao looked at her father anxiously, afraid that her father wouldn’t like her brother fighting, and would come back to beat her brother. She complained indignantly: “Wu Chen from Uncle Wu Bin’s family scolded my father for being a coward and henpecked, and said that my mother was a tigress, liked to beat people, and was not a good woman. My brother was angry and fought with them. Dad and mom, don’t beat my brother. It’s not my brother’s fault. I wanted to beat them, but I couldn’t beat them.”
Han Ze paused and glanced at Yang Qiubai, who didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Han Ze coughed awkwardly and said, “Go see your brother first.”
When they arrived at the place where the children were fighting, Wu Bin and his wife were already there. The two children weren’t fight, and they were obviously pulled apart by Wu Bin and his wife. Wu Bin’s wife Fang Xiuling pulled Wu Chen and said something to Han Lekang with a bad face. Han Lekang hung his head, stood there stubbornly, and didn’t say a word.
Han Ze’s face darkened slightly. He strode forward and heard Fang Xiuling say, “Your father is a gambler, your mother is a violent person, and you are not a good person at such a young age. You and your mother are a disaster for us when you marry into our Hanjia Village.”
Han Ze stepped forward and held Han Lekang’s shoulders. Han Lekang’s eyes were red. When he saw Han Ze, he looked unhappy and called out softly, “Dad.”
Han Ze turned to look at Wu Bin and said disappointedly, “Wu Bin, we have such a good relationship. I didn’t expect your wife to look at my wife and Lekang like that. You always say that Qiubai is not good. I don’t think your wife is that good either. Let’s not talk about why the children fought. As an aunt, she pointed at the children’s noses and scolded them. Do you think it’s appropriate?”
Wu Bin was very embarrassed. Ever since he was forced by Yang Qiubai to pay back one thousand yuan, he was fed up with Yang Qiubai. He often complained to his wife about Yang Qiubai’s bad things at home. He didn’t expect that what he said to his wife was heard by the children, and they even used it to make fun of Han Lekang. Now his wife’s words of scolding Han Lekang as an adult were heard by Han Ze. He didn’t know what to say.
Han Ze sighed and said disappointedly: “I have always known that you don’t like Qiubai, but I didn’t expect that you would not let go of the children. Last time, Huazi’s wife also provoked the relationship between Jiaojiao and Qiubai, and now your wife is directly pointing at Lekang and scolding him. Wu Bin, I am very disappointed. We have such a good relationship. Do we really have to tear each other apart because of our respective wives?”
Wu Bin was shocked. He didn’t intend to tear his face with Han Ze. Even if Han Ze didn’t accept Wu Chen as an apprentice, even if he couldn’t borrow money from Han Ze, Han Ze knew many rich people in the city. What if he needed him one day? So he couldn’t create a gap with him. Thinking of this, he looked at his wife and shouted angrily: “What are you doing? Why don’t you apologize to Lekang? You are an adult, how dare you care about a child.”
Fang Xiuling pursed her lips, hating her so much in her heart. Asking her to apologize to a child would save her face. Besides, why did Han Lekang, a wild child who was not wanted by his father, beat her son? How could he compare with her son?
“No need.” Yang Qiubai came over at some point. She glanced at Fang Xiuling coldly, stepped forward to look at Han Lekang’s cheek, and was relieved to see that he was not injured.
She ignored Fang Xiuling and said to Wu Bin: “I am indeed a tigress and a violent maniac. I like to beat people when I am violent. I originally thought that you were Han Ze’s friends. You owed our family so much money, and I asked you to pay it back slowly. Now it seems that I am still too soft-hearted and not violent enough. Otherwise, how could your wife have the courage to teach my son a lesson like that? It’s ridiculous. My son has parents. When will it be the turn of an outsider to teach him a lesson?”
Han Ze pulled Yang Qiubai’s arm, but Yang Qiubai shook him off and glared at him: “Shut up, I will settle the score with you later.”
Han Ze’s shoulders shrank and he quickly shut up.
Wu Bin frowned. Although it was difficult to face Han Ze, he was a little impatient to be interrupted by Yang Qiubai. He asked, “What do you want?”
Yang Qiubai said coldly: “Pay back the money.”
Fang Xiuling said beside her: “We don’t have any money.”
Yang Qiubai glanced at her with disdain and said: “It doesn’t matter if we don’t have money, as long as we have food. The autumn harvest has just passed. I don’t think your soybeans, corn, peanuts, and cotton have been sold? Are you going to pay back the money or use the food to pay off the debt?”
Wu Bin frowned and looked at Han Ze, and said: “Han Ze, we are good friends. Do you really want your wife to force our family like this?”
Han Ze was about to speak, but Yang Qiubai glared at him and said, “You dare to say a word, See how I deal with you when we get home.”
Han Ze trembled, not daring to say anything. He looked at Wu Bin and said tremblingly, “Wu Bin, I know we are close friends. You have always considered everything for me. If Qiubai gets violent and breaks my leg, don’t hold her accountable. She had no choice. Who made me not listen to her and lend you the money?”
Wu Bin: “…”
Your wife is just threatening you. She hasn’t done anything yet. Even if she wants to do something, can I stop her as a woman? Besides, when you lent us the money, Yang Qiubai was still someone else’s wife. It has nothing to do with you.
Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Han Ze said again: “Wu Bin, we are close friends. It doesn’t matter how you are mad at me, just don’t be mad at Qiubai. She had no choice. She has been hurt. Just be tolerant of her. Just take it out on me. I’m a man with thick skin. It’s okay.”
Yang Qiubai snorted, turned to look at his two brothers, and said: “Big brother, find some people, drive the tractor over, and let’s go to Wu Bin’s house to get food.”
Wu Bin was anxious: “Yang Qiubai, are you planning to do this? Do you want me to break up with Han Ze?”
Yang Qiubai looked at him sarcastically, “With a friend like you, it’s okay to break up. It’s no big deal.”
Wu Bin knew that this woman was crazy and she didn’t care about anything. He looked at Han Ze, “Han Ze, don’t you care about your wife?”
Han Ze’s legs were still shaking. He said with a sad face, “I, I can’t do anything about it. She, she wants to break my legs.”
Wu Bin gritted his teeth and pointed at him with trembling voice, saying hatefully, “You really bring shame to us men.”
Han Ze looked at him aggrievedly. How was he embarrassed? He was just afraid of his wife. There were countless men in the country who were afraid of their wives. What was there to be ashamed of?
The Yang brothers looked at Han Ze blankly. They couldn’t believe their eyes. Was this the scene of their sister and brother-in-law getting along normally? It was too hot for their eyes.
Yang Qiubai suddenly turned to look at Han Ze and said sternly: “Han Ze, you take the children home. My elder and second brothers and I will go to Wu Bin’s house to get food.”
Han Ze frowned: “Qiubai, this, this is not good, right?”
Yang Qiubai glared: “You don’t want your legs anymore?”
Han Ze shuddered, pulled Han Lekang and Han Jiaojiao to run home, and the speed was faster than a rabbit.
Wu Bin couldn’t believe that Han Ze actually ran away like this.
The two brothers of the Yang family didn’t expect that the brother-in-law was so afraid of his sister. They were a little bit amused. Their sister really became a tigress.
Yang Qiubai smiled and looked at Wu Bin, and said: “I don’t want to tear my face with you, but you bully us again and again, and I can’t do anything.”
Wu Bin smiled bitterly and said: “It’s my wife’s fault. Can’t I ask her to apologize to you?”
Yang Qiubai said disdainfully: “When your wife scolded Lekang, you were standing by and you did nothing. Don’t think I don’t know what you were thinking. If you hadn’t been saying bad things about me, Yang Qiubai, in front of the children all day, would they have made fun of Lekang like that?”
Wu Bin said uncomfortably: “No, that’s not the case.”
Yang Qiubai snorted: “Now you tell me, do you want to pay us back or pay us back?”
Wu Bin said coldly: “Today you must ask us to pay back the money? Regardless of my relationship with Han Ze?”
Yang Qiubai said: “Even if you don’t have any contact in the future, I still have to ask for money, or I will use grain to pay off the debt.”
At this time, many villagers were watching nearby, and they were pointing fingers. Some said that it was natural for Wu Bin to borrow money and pay it back, and some said that Yang Qiubai was too cruel and forced others to pay back the debt.
Yang Qiubai didn’t care about it at all, and just looked at Wu Bin.
Wu Bin looked at the people around him, his face flushed. It was the first time he was forced to this point. Yang Qiubai remembered it and said ruthlessly: “We have no money. You can take the corn and peanuts from our home.”
Fang Xiuling roared: “No.”
Wu Bin glared at her with red eyes: “Shut up.”
If it weren’t for this woman who was more trouble than success, could she drive Yang Qiubai crazy and force their family to pay back the money? Everything was the fault of such a woman.
…
Han Ze took the two children back home. Han Jiaojiao asked her father curiously: “Dad, what is a wife-controlled man?”
Han Ze coughed uncomfortably, looked at the two tender little faces, and said seriously: “Wife-controlled man is actually a compliment.”
Han Jiaojiao: “…”
Han Lekang: “…”
Han Ze touched his nose, facing the two pairs of black and white eyes, and the words on his lips were a little bit unable to come out. Thinking of the memory of the original body, he analyzed that Jiaojiao might like such a strong man because of the weakness and good nature of the original body, which led to being hurt.
He thought for a while and said, “You are still young and don’t understand many things.”
Han Jiaojiao: “Dad, we are not young anymore and we understand many things.”
Han Lekang: “Dad, just tell us, we understand.”
Han Ze: “…”
Han Jiaojiao looked at her father: “Dad, please tell us.”
