Chapter 26 Chapter Twenty Six

Knowing the truth about Cao Ershun's blindness from Cao Fuli's mouth, Cao Yuee realized that it was not her second brother Cao Ershun, but her husband Xiao Taiping who was unreasonable.No wonder the second brother is so angry, he doesn't want to associate with the Xiao family anymore. This reality is so cruel that Cao Yue'e doesn't want to believe it is true. As soon as Cao Fuli left, the scene of Cao Tuanli many years ago appeared in front of Cao Yue'e's teary eyes.At that time, the father who was the head of the regiment and the tiger-like elder brother were still alive, and there was no distinction between the Cao family and the Xiao family.Everyone went to battle to kill the thieves, and everyone was desperate, supporting each other on the way to and fro, and everyone helped each other like brothers.What is Cao's surname and Xiao's surname?The father who is the head of the regiment is fair, because Xiao Taiping has extraordinary courage and the ability to kill thieves in battle, he left his sons alone and made Xiao Taiping the head of the second regiment.What's the matter now?Why did the kiln clerks and stewards of the Baijia Kiln all become members of the Xiao family?Why can't brothers surnamed Cao and brothers surnamed Xiao sit together anymore?Why did Xiao Taiping knock out his second brother's eyes?If father and elder brother were alive, would Xiao Taiping dare?

The members of the Cao family are not dead yet.Father and elder brother are not here, but she, Cao Yue'e, is also there!She, Cao Yue'e, was also a heroine in the Cao Tuan women's team back then, and she also killed thieves in battle. Cao Ershun didn't dare to settle with Xiao Taiping, so she had to settle with Xiao Taiping. When they ran to Cao Ershun's house in Kuangzipo, Cao Yuee said to Cao Ershun, "...Second brother, tell me, did Xiao Taiping blind you? Didn't you?" Cao Ershun was still so stubborn: "I don't want you to care about whoever is blind."

Cao Yue'e pointed at Cao Ershun's face and scolded: "You bastard! You are useless! When someone rides on your head, you poop and you still protect him!" Cao Ershun said: "I don't protect Xiao Taiping! As I said, I... I will never have any contact with him again." Cao Yue'e said: "Whether you come or go, it's another matter. I'll go with you first, and explain the matter clearly in front of Xiao Taiping." At this time, the kiln workers surnamed Cao who came back from the night kiln on the slope also swarmed over, and they all followed Cao Yue'e and said, "Second brother, don't you have no bones! You go with Yue'e and see what the surname Xiao says!"

"Yes, Second Uncle, you should settle the accounts with Xiao Taiping in front of Third Aunt!" "Second brother, don't be afraid. Our Cao family is not easy to bully. If we can't get justice, we won't serve Xiao Taiping! What the hell is Xiao Taiping..." ... Cao Yue'e saw the anger of the brothers, and her mentality changed again.There is her brother on one side and her husband on the other. She wants to seek justice for her brother, but she doesn't want the brother surnamed Cao to follow suit and ruin her husband's business of building a kiln.

Cao Yue'e stopped yelling at Cao Ershun, turned around and said to everyone: "What's the matter with you? Why are you yelling?" Cao Yu'er, who had been silent all this time, spoke at this moment, and said to Cao Yue'e: "Third Aunt, these old and young masters are all from our Cao family. How can you see Second Uncle being bullied like this? Your Third Aunt stood up and stood up for Second Uncle." It is best to uphold justice, otherwise, we will make the third uncle of the Xiao family look good!" Cao Yue'e became more vigilant: "Hey, what are you thinking?"

Cao Yu'er said: "Didn't my second uncle make it clear? No more associations with the surname Xiao—our brothers will no longer associate with Xiao Taiping, and no one will work in his kiln. How can he give an account to Mr. Bai Er?" ? Who else is making money?!" Cao Yue'e was stunned: "What's wrong? You guys want... want to stop the kiln?" Cao Yuer said: "Brothers, I want to rest a long time ago. In the past, I looked at the second uncle's face and couldn't tear his face away. Now that the second uncle has been beaten blind, his face has been torn apart. Once the face is torn apart, who will return it?" Who are you afraid of? Everyone has one life if they have money or not..."

Cao Yue'e's heart felt cold.In the eighth year of Tongzhi, my husband's rest kiln broke Mr. Zhang. This time, the brothers surnamed Cao make a break in the kiln, I'm afraid it will bring down my husband.As soon as this idea appeared, his mentality changed completely, he forgot the original purpose of coming to Zazipo and his anger towards Xiao Taiping, and only said to Cao Ershun: "...Second brother, why don't you tell me about your troubles with the kiln? ? I am your own sister after all! Is there anything not to discuss? No matter how excessive Xiao Taiping is, you can’t deal with him the same way you dealt with Mr. Zhang!”

Only then did Cao Ershun say: "I don't know about the rest of the kiln. I just came back from the night kiln..." Cao Yu'er hurriedly walked up to Cao Ershun and said, "Second Uncle, you didn't know before this, but now you know? Some of our brothers on the slope have discussed it, and we will stop the kiln tonight, just as you said: don't talk to the Xiao family again." come and go!" Cao Ershun squatted on the ground, lit a pot of cigarettes, and said while smoking, "If you want to stop the kiln, you should stop, but I won't." Cao Yuer became angry: "Why are you like this? The big guy is for you, you shrank your head, is it reasonable?! In the past, people said that your second uncle is a wimp, but I never thought that you would be so wimpy! You Tell me, what are you afraid of? Even if you don’t work in Baijiayao in the future, won’t there be Wangjiayao and Lijiayao? Second Uncle, you’d better think about it.”

Cao Ershun smoked silently. Cao Yu'er wanted to persuade Cao Ershun again, but Cao Yue'e stopped the conversation and said to Cao Yu'er: "Nephew, don't talk anymore, I see clearly, my second brother didn't say to stop the kiln, it was you I said to myself that I want to stop. Then I will say it in front. The first point, don’t worry about my second brother and Xiao Taiping, it has nothing to do with your suspension of the kiln; the second point, the kiln is really closed If there is trouble, don't come to me, the third aunt." Cao Yu'er said: "Sangu, don't talk so harshly. My second uncle doesn't stop talking. Don't think that he is easy to deceive because he is honest. Second uncle is also the head of our Cao family's old group. Son, even for the old group leader, our brothers from the Cao family have to fight for this."

Cao Yuee said: "Hearing from your tone, it seems that the old group is not my biological father of Cao Yuee, is it?!" Cao Yu'er did not show weakness: "The old group is always your own father, and he is an elder respected by brothers Cao and Xiao! The old group must live, and they will not watch Xiao Taiping oppress the brothers in the group like this! Of course, the old group is always alive, and there is no such thing as Xiao Taiping today! How did Xiao Taiping come to be today? Ah? Didn’t he rely on the help of Brother Cao Tuan? Without the Daxie Kiln in the eighth year of Tongzhi, Xiao Taiping is today This one has to carry coal under the kiln!"

Cao Yue'e said: "I understand this. You don't like Xiao Taiping being the kiln manager. You all want to be the kiln manager yourself and make a good fortune, don't you? Then you should show your real skills! I'm not kidding you, you It's not Xiao Taiping's material! Back then when you led the troops into battle, Xiao Taiping was the commander of your second regiment, you can't accept it." Then he said to Cao Ershun: "Second brother, don't listen to Cao Yu'er and the others. The matter is at home, you still come with me, let's talk to Xiao Taiping at the shopkeeper's room in Qiaotou Town!" Cao Ershun said, "What are you talking about? Can I blind him again?" Cao Yuee said: "Of course we can't blind him again, but he should apologize, and he should pay money." Cao Yu'er said: "Third Gu, you really look down on my second uncle, my second uncle doesn't want the two silver coins! What the second uncle wants to fight for is one breath, right, second uncle?" Cao Ershun got annoyed, knocked the smoke pot, stood up from the ground, and yelled at Cao Yue'e and Cao Yu'er, "Go, you all go, don't mind my business!" Went to the vegetable garden by the desert river.That day, it was warm, and Dani was taking two children, Chunwang and Qiuwang, to clean up the vegetable garden. Cao Yue'e had no choice but to go back. Before leaving, she said to Cao Yu'er and all the brothers gathered in front of Cao Ershun's gate: "I advise everyone not to make trouble. If you are really dissatisfied, you should discuss it with Xiao Taiping. Xiao Taiping did not Didn’t Xiao Taiping give you as much as Zhang Sanye gave when he was the kiln shopkeeper?! Why do you all despise Xiao Taiping?” Cao Yu'er said: "Forget it, Sangu, don't talk about it anymore, we have seen it clearly this time, you are still a member of the Xiao family after all, protecting Xiao Taiping everywhere, we have nothing to say to you anymore said……" Unexpectedly, he came to Kazipo full of resentment towards Xiao Taiping, but returned with worry about Xiao Taiping.When talking with Xiao Taiping again, Cao Yue'e didn't have much anger, and only worried about brother Cao's quitting the kiln. Xiao Taiping also knew about Cao Yuer's private connection, but he didn't show any timidity on his face, he just said: "...Cao Yuer and the others want to make trouble, so let them do it. Sooner or later they will have a fight, so I I thought of it a long time ago. They want to destroy me." Cao Yue'e said: "It will be difficult if my second brother gets involved." Xiao Taiping said: "Second brother is a responsible person, probably won't get involved. Take a step back and say, even if he gets involved, I can't blame him. I finally accidentally broke his eye, and I feel ashamed." Mile." After listening to Xiao Taiping's detailed explanation, Cao Yue'e knew the whole story, but it turned out that there was a reason for Xiao Taiping's missed punch. No wonder the second brother refused to fight with Xiao Taiping.Thinking about how after the accident Xiao Taiping asked her to give money and pay for the kiln, it became clear that these two men knew this matter well. But the dead Cao Bajin and the living Cao Yuer were too bad. Cao Yue'e asked: "...Cao Yu'er and the others are really making trouble, how do you deal with it?" Xiao Taiping said: "As long as they dare to mention Cao Bajin, I will show the self-confession, and only say that this self-confession was made by Cao Yuer and Cao Bajin in collusion, trying to kill Cao Tuan brothers. In this way, even if I don't settle accounts with Cao Yu'er, someone will settle accounts with him." Cao Yue'e reminded: "On Zazipo, they didn't talk about Cao Bajin. They just wanted the second brother to start a fight. If the second brother didn't fall for their tricks, they probably wouldn't have much fun to sing about." Xiao Taiping smiled and said: "No, I have to let them continue to sing the show. Taizhong has already reported to me that the ones who want to stop the kiln are the dozens of people on the Kazipo. They are all savage bastards. I Just about to drive them away! Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty is really smart. He exterminates the veterans after they are done. It seems that I have to take this step now. I have made arrangements to let them make trouble for a few days, and then let them all go away. Now I How can I care about these dozens of people? Why have I been recruiting soldiers and horses for the past few years? It’s just to prevent them.” Only then was Cao Yue'e relieved, and said with a sigh of relief: "It turns out that you have already thought of going ahead of them." Xiao Taiping said: "Can I not think about it? I started my family with this hand, so I am not afraid that people will use this hand to deal with me? The better the kiln is, the more I think about it. I still think about it, get rid of Cao Cao." Yu'er and his gang, the old Cao Tuan brothers left behind, regardless of whether they are surnamed Xiao or Cao, we must treat them kindly..." Cao Yuee said: "That's right. The kiln's steward and kiln owner should use more brothers surnamed Cao. Because of this, brothers surnamed Cao complain a lot. Do you know?" Xiao Taiping said: "I know. You told me in the past. But the foundation was not stable in the past, and I can't do without the surname Xiao. This time, as long as the brothers surnamed Cao don't participate in trouble with Cao Yu'er, I will do it myself in the future." Useful. I think the same thing as Mr. Bai Er now, to make money with harmony! Even Cao Yuer and his gang, as long as they don’t corrupt me like Cao Bajin, I will give them a way out... " Cao Yue'e had nothing to say, Xiao Taiping she had thought of had already thought of it, Xiao Taiping she hadn't thought of had also thought of it.Xiao Taiping is Xiao Taiping, father and Mr. Bai Er are right, this person is capable of accomplishing great things...
