Chapter Thirty-Eight Before and After the Sun Sets
Chen Changsheng had no idea what Tang Sanshiliu was going to do when he came to the old house, and he didn't know why he wanted to play this game with the old man.
It was not until Tang Sanshiliu said his request that he understood.
Chen Changsheng took the risk to Wenshui City and took the toughest posture, which changed Old Master Tang's idea.
Tang Sanshiliu was released from the ancestral hall, and the second master of the Tang family was not sure where he was imprisoned.
If he is an ordinary person, he would probably express gratitude to Chen Changsheng and the guys outside the house, and then think about how to repay him in the future. But Tang Sanshiliu is not an ordinary person and does not follow the ordinary path. He knew very well that such affection could only be repaid with the Tang family.
The old house is very quiet.
The snow on the edge of the well was melted by the sunlight and fell along the well wall, silently.
Old Master Tang said expressionlessly: "If the National Church eventually loses this war, even if you understand the Tang family and have no cards in your hand, how can you threaten me? Since you have been thinking about it for half a year in the ancestral hall, you cannot have thought of this. So, what do you want?"
"I want my second uncle to die, die immediately. I must die before the sun sets today."
Tang Sanshiliu looked at Old Master Tang's eyes and said calmly: "Then I want the Tang family to remain neutral in this war."
Old Master Tang was silent for a long time and said, "If I say no, the words on the file will be turned into real means by you?"
Tang Sanshiliu said: "Not bad."
Old Mr. Tang looked at the green bamboo cards on the table and frowned slightly and said, "Your card is really a mess."
Tang Sanshiliu said: "Chen Changsheng and I are both young people, and those outside the house are the same. Of course, the card skills are not as good as you. But we have the courage to turn the tables on, because we can have another game, but you can't, because you are already old."
Old Master Tang looked at Tang Sanshiliu and suddenly said, "Have you ever thought that maybe after yesterday, I was ready to let you be the head of the family?"
It is purely based on the interests of the family. After yesterday's incident, it seems that the best heir to the Tang family is of course Tang Sanshiliu.
If Shang Xingzhou wins with the imperial court, Old Master Tang has enough time to change Tang Sanshiliu's view, or directly change the candidate for the head of the family. If Chen Changsheng wins with the National Education, Old Master Tang only needs to hand over the Tang family to Tang Sanshiliu's hands, Wenshui City will not be affected in any way.
Chen Changsheng had never thought about these things, and these things were a bit complicated for him.
He is not good at dealing with the complicated right and wrong in the world, and is only good at looking at people.
The days in the National Education College made him very clear that Tang Sanshiliu did not want to be the head of the family.
But Tang Sanshiliu must have thought about these questions, so why is his attitude so intense today?
"Even if I am the head of the family, it will be a matter of many years. What I care more about is the attitude at home in recent years."
Tang Sanshiliu said: "And the unilateral commitment is never as strong as the agreement reached by both parties under the threat of each other."
Old Master Tang said, "Don't you believe me?"
Tang Sanshiliu said: "So many things have happened. Isn't it ridiculous to believe this kind of word?"
"From the first day you were born, you were the next generation of Tang family heads I chose. Don't forget that it was you, not your father! How much did I do to be able to take over as the head of the family? How much did the Tang family pay? What happened? You were foolishly insisted on standing on his side because of the so-called affection!"
The older Mr. Tang became more and more angry as he spoke, his voice became louder and louder. When he said the last sentence, he pointed directly at Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng moved to the side silently, avoiding the finger.
"Is there a stupid affection? If I hadn't had this affection, I would still pretend to be mute in the ancestral hall."
Tang Sanshiliu finally became angry and shouted: "If Chen Changsheng was not my friend, I would have died three years ago!"
Old Master Tang looked at him and said angrily: "Do you think I will really kill you?"
Tang Sanshiliu sneered, "Of course you will kill me. Anyway, you just need to wash your hands and eat a few tables of vegetarian food, and you will feel that you are not guilty!"
This is the second time the word Suzhai appears in the old Tang family house.
Yesterday, news came from the ancestral hall that Tang Sanshiliu asked someone to go to Jiming Temple to carry a vegetarian food.
It’s just that vegetarian food has not been done yet, and everything is over.
Just like yesterday, after hearing the word Suzhai, Old Master Tang's face became extremely ugly and his hands trembled slightly.
I don’t know how long it took, but Old Master Tang finally calmed down and asked, “How is it smelling?”
"That table of vegetarian food was sent to the ancestral hall at night, and it was already cold."
Tang Sanshiliu was silent for a while and said, "The taste is ordinary, not real meat. It is not as good as the Chenghu Tower in the past, nor as good as the canteen of the National Education College."
Old Master Tang was silent for a long time and said, "Is that so? After I die, I don't know if anyone else is willing to eat it."
"Grandpa, this is our biggest difference."
At this time today, Tang Sanshiliu finally shouted out these two words for the first time.
But these two words did not warm up the atmosphere in the room, but instead became even colder, just like his next voice.
"Yes, in order to train me to be the Tang family, you have indeed treated me very well in the past twenty years. The family has indeed paid a lot, but have you ever thought about it...those are not what I want, nor are everyone in the family willing to accept, such as the matter of "no queen in the house!"
Tang Sanshiliu said angrily: "Yes, my Tang family has the talent for practicing Taoism and a long life span. In the future, you will be completely in charge of the family business. You can give birth to whatever you want. Those younger brothers and sisters are much younger than me and can never threaten me again... But have you ever thought that doing this is too ruthless?"
"Aunt Si secretly got pregnant that year, and the excuse that her mother was seriously ill and hid her for five months. But you still found out that you asked the fourth uncle to force the fourth aunt to take away the child! Have you ever thought about how painful it was for Aunt Si? Compared to this, what are the hatred eyes that Changfang received? "
"As for the vegetarian food in Jimingshan... you don't have to worry, because I'm not you."
Tang Sanshiliu glanced at the old man with some disappointment, got up and walked out of the house.
Chen Changsheng also left.
Only Mr. Tang was left in the room.
He was sitting alone at the table, not sure what he was thinking.
Those green bamboo cards were lying quietly on the table, never moving again.
...
...
The clouds reunite, and the river surface at night is very quiet and dark.
If it were the past, the river here should have been shining with many lights.
Tang Sanshiliu sat by the river and looked at the dark opposite bank, thinking about the days before.
Chen Changsheng is also here. Today he came to visit the manor of the Tang family's house again, but not as a pope, but as a friend.
Not long ago, news came from the old house that Mr. Tang agreed to Tang Sanshiliu's request, not knowing whether it was because of the card game or because of the young man's determination to overturn the card table.
Or maybe it’s just because of the vegetarian food in Jiming’an.
Tang Sanshiliu suddenly asked, "Do you want to know this story?"
Chen Changsheng said: "If you want to say anything."

(I was too busy in the afternoon and forgot to update. Let’s just go to this chapter today. I will set off to go back to Hubei tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. There are so many things at home, and the update will slow down. It will last for a month. The double updates have improved a lot. Everyone is more interesting to watch. This is really good. Thank you everyone. The update will only slow down for a few days. After the journey is over, I will definitely continue to work hard after I arrive at home in Yichang.)
Chapter completed!
