    ??~~

    Although the house has changed owners, the buyer was merciful and allowed the Zhao family to stay for a few more days.

    It is tragic to say that the old lady of the Zhao family has passed away long ago.  Zhao Shouye's wife was still alive, but when something happened at home, he took his young daughter back to his parents' home.

    As a result, there were only two pairs of father and son left in the huge courtyard.

    The first few entrances were all locked, and the four of them could only temporarily find shelter in the back room for servants.

    Since the master is like this, all the servants, maids, concubines and the like have naturally been sent away long ago.  Without servants to serve him, he had to do everything by himself.

    It was getting dark now, and the firelight flickered in the kitchen in the back room. It was the Zhao family preparing their dinner.

    Zhao Xian was seen squatting in front of the stove, adding firewood to the stove with an expressionless face.

    Zhao Shouye stood by the stove wearing an apron, putting rice and vegetable leaves into the big pot quite skillfully.

    Zhao Shouzheng and his son were sitting on the threshold with their sleeves folded, waiting eagerly.

    They have changed to eating porridge twice a day.  By now, the bowl of porridge I drank in the morning had long since turned into urine and disappeared without a trace.  The father and son were eagerly waiting for the meal.

    The situation at this time is completely different from when we first arrived.  However, Zhao Hao had calmed down. After all, the wealth was fleeting and he was knocked out of the world before he even understood the situation.  If you don't really have it, you can't say it's a big loss.

    What impressed him was that his uncle and father, two brothers, had very good psychological qualities.  It had only been two or three days, and they were eating and drinking as they should. There was no sign of collapse at all, and they didn't know who had inherited such powerful genes.

    "Brother, put down more rice." Zhao Shouzheng saw that his eldest brother had only put down two handfuls of rice, and then tied his grain bag, and couldn't help but ask.

    "It's not enough to eat for free! All I use now is my Lumi." Zhao Shouye was unmoved, rolled his eyes at him and said, "You know how to stand by and eat ready-made food, and still talk so much nonsense."

    "Then just rest, I'll come." Upon hearing this, Zhao Shouzheng rolled up his sleeves and stood up.

    But everyone showed a look of horror. Zhao Shouye said with a look of disgust: "Go away, even the pigs won't eat anything you make."

    "Then you ate two big bowls the day before yesterday!" Zhao Shouzheng said with wide eyes.

    "Get out!" Zhao Shouye poured another handful of rice into the pot angrily, and then Zhao Shouzheng shut up obediently.

    Zhao Hao squatted there, looking at the adults in the family with dull eyes, thinking to himself, who are these two?

    I have fallen into a big pit.

    ??~~

    After the porridge was cooked, the four members of the Zhao family each held a bowl, squatted side by side on the porch, and started drinking by the firelight of the stove.

    After filling his stomach with some hot porridge, the uncle had the strength to sigh again.

    "Hey, it's already the fourth day, why is there no news? I think the old man is in danger."

    "Don't worry, brother, it won't happen." Zhao Shouzheng said vaguely while chewing the pickles, "This radish is quite crisp, I'll pickle some more tomorrow."

    Zhao Shouye ignored the foodie, glared at Zhao Hao over him and said, "Why have I lost my mind and listened to the nonsense of a brat like you?!"

    "If you really borrowed the fifty thousand taels, grandpa will definitely not come back." Zhao Hao curled his lips. Although his uncle was an official, he had never eaten pork. He had always seen pigs running away, right?  Why don't you have any common sense about being an official?

    "Listen, are these human words? A dog can't spit out ivory!" The uncle couldn't help but take a mouthful of porridge in anger.

    "You heard, what do you think? Your nephew is a dog, brother, what are you?" Now it was Zhao Shouzheng's turn to be unhappy.

    "Just protect him! When the old man is killed by you two, he will come back to settle the score with you!" In order to live for two more years, the uncle decided not to be familiar with the father and son.  While he stood up and wanted to fill another bowl, he thought: "Why don't we wear sackcloth and mourn tomorrow and carry a coffin to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to make a fuss and see if they will let him go."

    "Do you want to kill me?!" He heard an angry voice ringing in his ears.

    "Dad, I'm here to save you" Zhao Shouye replied casually.  In the middle of his words, he suddenly froze there, and the hairs on his back stood up. He said with a trembling voice: "Ghost"

    Before he finished speaking, he was kicked in the buttocks.  "It's you, me, you big-headed devil!"

    "Dad, grandpa is back." Zhao Xian reminded in a low voice from the side.

    Zhao Shouye covered his butt and looked back, only to see an angry little old man standing at the door, still raising his foot to kick people.

    ¡°If it¡¯s not his father, Zhao Liben, a dignified third-rank official, who is he????

    After taking another sneak peek at his shadow on the ground, Zhao Shouye felt relieved and shouted in surprise: "Dad, why are you back?!"

    "Why, are you expecting me to die outside?!" Zhao Liben became even more angry when he saw his children and grandchildren squatting on the porch with bowls in their hands.  He stared at them fiercely and cursed:

    "How many days have you been separated from me? Have you ended up in this situation?"

    Before he finished speaking, he heard a group of gurgling sounds.

    All the children and grandchildren followed the reputation and went to Zhao Liben's belly.

    "I've been hungry these days, can't my stomach growl?" Zhao Liben didn't blush, blowing his beard and staring: "Why are you still standing there? Go get me some food!"

    ??~~

    After a while, the five grandfathers and grandsons squatted on the porch with bowls of porridge, and continued to eat porridge.

    "Look, I asked you to stay up longer, right?" Zhao Shouzheng glanced at his elder brother, very proud of his foresight.

    "Get out." Zhao Shouye ignored him depressedly, and asked Zhao Liben in confusion: "Dad, why did they let you out?"

    "They detained me and asked you to pay for it. You paid for it, but they still let me celebrate the New Year?" Zhao Liben looked at the large house with dark lights and couldn't help trembling with distress. He asked: "How did it happen like this? They forced you to  How much did you pay?"

    "They asked for one hundred thousand taels. I sold all my property and only got half of it." Zhao Shouye answered honestly: "There are still fifty thousand taels left. I wanted to borrow money to make up for it, but that kid Zhao Hao messed it up.  .¡±

    While he was talking, he noticed that Zhao Liben's face was livid, and he quickly asked with concern: "Dad, you have suffered a lot in there, haven't you?"

    However, Zhao Liben was furious, patted Zhao Shouye on the head one after another, and cursed angrily:

    "You stupid pig! Are you going to piss me off?! I have a minister above me and a minister on the left. Just giving him 30,000 taels will be enough! You have to make up another 20,000 taels? I have worked hard all my life.  , you, the prodigal son, have all been ruined!"

    If it weren¡¯t for the inconvenience of squatting on the ground, he would have to use his fists and feet to greet his eldest son.

    "Didn't I want you to come out early?" Zhao Shouye had no choice but to dodge with his head in his hands and shouted with grievance: "You don't know how critical the situation was at that time? It seems that if you don't pay the money right away, you will be stabbed and beheaded  ¡­¡±

    "Idiot, can't you see that they are cheating on you? We always make up for this kind of thing together, how can my family make sense?! You are worse than a child!"

    "You are not as good as my son." Zhao Shouzheng looked at his eldest brother proudly.

    "You are so proud, nerd!" Zhao Liben glanced at Zhao Shouzheng angrily, but his expression gradually softened. After scolding his eldest son, he turned around and patted Zhao Hao on the shoulder, saying warmly:

    "My dear grandson, serve another bowl to grandpa."

    "Uh, okay."

    Zhao Hao caught the empty bowl in a daze. He finally understood that the source of the Zhao family's weirdness was here.
