The boss is dressed as cannon fodder

After the old emperor abdicated, in order to avoid two emperors in one country and conflicting policies, he didn't like to stay in the palace, so Jiang He's manor became his permanent residence.

The new emperor once again believed that Jiang He would bring him good luck, and often sent his son to Jiang He to play with his grandfather, so that he wouldn't be lonely in his retirement.

The grandson was too naughty, climbing trees and rivers, playing with cats and dogs, and the emperor chased after him every day, and his health improved.

Several princes who were ready to make a move immediately stopped.

The emperor is no longer easy to mess with. As the emperor, I am strong and healthy, and I can live for another ten years. I won't make trouble anymore!

Year after year, the nobles all think that Jiang He is a cunning person, whether he is the emperor or the emperor, and now the little prince is also a Jiang He bragging! There is such a person who can catch the three most noble people in the world in one fell swoop!

Jiang He is still a peasant, a peasant that no one dares to mess with in the world.

***

It is another autumn, and everywhere is a scene of harvest.

The newly built harbor is full of ships, and Da Qi can see prosperity wherever it goes.

Jiang He's hometown has changed the most. Those who planted potatoes in the early years have all become rich. Every household has renovated their houses. The men in the village have no worries about getting married, and the girls have no worries about getting married.

The hillside that Jiang He gave to the villagers to farm as a scholarship has become a place where literati and poets often visit. Everyone wants to know the deeds of this father of food who solved the world's food problem with his own efforts.

There is no way to contact the three giants of Da Qi, so flattering their celebrities is also an excellent way to indirectly get involved with them.

The arrival of tourists has illuminated the new head of the village's wealth. He is a smart man. He has spent a lot of effort to plant flowers and trees in the village, build pavilions and towers, and turn the village into a tourist village, so that the villagers can live a better life.

Especially Taohua's family, her special "Ciba" and "Bacon" that Jiang He, the father of grain, likes to eat are selling very well.

The villagers also followed suit, and the head flower business was booming. It is said that this business was once done by Jiang He's family. His two daughters who married newcomers in the court wore these head flowers like fairies.

Xinli Zhengzhi was very proud and walked around the village as usual. The villagers all wore new clothes, ate well and were in good spirits. The new school built in the village a few years ago was filled with the sound of reading aloud... These were all his credit.

He didn't frown until he passed by the second branch of the Jiang family.

The second branch of the Jiang family certainly lived a good life.

In order to prevent people from saying that he was unfilial, Jiang He sent money back to the village and gave 100 taels of silver to Old Chen every year for retirement.

They were rich, but the second branch of the Jiang family didn't have the spirit of the village.

Jiang Hai, the second son of the Jiang family, often gets drunk. Sometimes he would harass the literati who are playing around as a scholar. When asked questions, he couldn't answer them. It was really embarrassing!

And Xiao Chen always had a sad face, as if everyone owed her five hundred taels! The head of the village had to let the children who led the tourists in the village bypass the Jiang family, for fear that the tourists would change their minds after seeing her coffin face.

The eldest son of the Jiang family was getting more and more outrageous. He did nothing all day and didn't go to the fields. When he met a beautiful girl, he would brag about how rich his family property would be in the future. His grandmother had promised to give him 70% of the Jiang family's property after getting married.

But still no girl favored him. The girls were not blind. At the beginning, the Jiang family was one of the richest in the village. Look at how many families are richer than the Jiang family now.

The villagers shook their heads privately. There are still elders in the family, but they are still talking about dividing the family every day. They are also ruthless! You don't even love your own grandmother, father and mother. Which girl would be willing to let you harm them?

The village head sighed. The one who changed the most in the Jiang family was Old Chen. She used to be such an arrogant person, but now she looked like a half-dead person, without any spirit at all. Only when she saw her grandson Erwa did she still look a little lively.

The village head watched the Jiang family split up that year, and he could understand Old Chen's feelings.

Changing the Jiang family's lintel was the dream of three generations of the Jiang family. Old Chen thought that this dream would eventually be realized by the second son, but it turned out to be realized by the eldest son whom she despised the most.

The village head knew that Jiang He was broad-minded and did not want to make things difficult for the second branch of the Jiang family. Just look at his willingness to pay for Erwa's tuition.

Erwa studied very hard and had good talent. The village teacher sighed that the mess of the second branch of the Jiang family had ruined him.

His father, who only knew how to drink, had no talent, but he insisted on interfering with his son's studies. His son had different opinions from him, so he took a whip and beat him to death on the spot!

The teacher was extremely disdainful. If Jiang Hai was really talented, he would have passed the examination and become a scholar earlier, and he would not have failed every year.

And the eldest son, he knew that if he had a grudge against this brother who could study, he would never benefit from it in the future. Basically, he was willing to do anything that could delay the second son's study.

The head of the village sighed. A few days ago, Old Chen came to ask him to help send the second son to the city to study. He agreed for Jiang He's sake.

I hope the second son can break free from the shackles of the second branch of the Jiang family and become a talent.

**

Jiang Hai tried hard to focus on studying and control his hands from taking the wine. There was another month before the imperial examination started again. He had to read a book. Maybe this time there was hope.

His hands were shaking a little, and his handwriting was crooked. The doctor said that he drank too much and his hands would not obey.

In fact, he didn't want to be an alcoholic, but every time there was news about his eldest brother, he couldn't help it.

His elder brother's reputation was growing. He made ice in hot weather, grew vegetables in cold weather, improved farm tools, and had a bumper harvest of grain. Every time he heard about it, he got annoyed and couldn't concentrate on his studies at all.

Forget it, let's drink. Every time he drinks, he will have a beautiful dream, with wine, sex, money and everything in the dream.

But he didn't like yesterday's dream very much.

In the dream, his elder brother died, and his elder sister-in-law asked for a chastity archway for him, and worked diligently like an old ox. After he passed the examination, he became famous, and everyone praised his talent and intelligence. Many businessmen sent silver to him, and he happily accepted it.

The Jiang family became rich all of a sudden, and Xiangxue happily married him as a concubine, and then he bought a maid for his mother. Life was so beautiful...

He didn't like the second half of the dream so much. Xiangxue and Xiao Chen fought to the death all day long, and there was no peace. He was so annoyed that he had no interest in studying, and he failed to pass the examination for several times.

Naturally, the shrewd businessmen were unwilling to invest in him, and the family's money was squandered, and he couldn't even squeeze out the travel expenses for the exam. What else could he do, so he had to think about his two nieces. At that time, Shunniang was so sick that her eyesight was blurry and her hearing was unclear. She was marrying her niece to an old man who had tortured three wives to death, and no one stopped her...

Jiang Hai took a big sip of wine and touched his ears. The end of this dream was too terrible. He actually dreamed that Shunniang bit off his ears when she was in her last moments.

Old Chen paused when she smelled the smell of wine coming from the room. She tidied up Erwa's bookcase and said earnestly: "Erwa, you must study hard." Don't learn from your father.

Erwa said sensibly: "Grandma, I will work hard. In the future, I will definitely earn a royal title for you, just like my uncle." The villagers envied my aunt because my uncle earned a royal title for my aunt. It is said that the county magistrate would salute her when he saw her.

Old Chen stared at Erwa in a daze, and suddenly said slowly: "Erwa, it is necessary to study hard, but you must first learn the principles of being a human being." Don't learn from grandma, and don't learn from your parents.

After seeing Erwa off at the entrance of the village, Old Chen walked slowly towards home with a hunched back.

The village has changed a lot, becoming the richest village with the most beautiful scenery within a radius of 800 miles. All the people in Daqi know that the food that makes people all over the world no longer hungry is grown by Jiang He.

The Jiang family should have lived well with the money Jiang He sent back, but...

"Jiang Hai, you actually went to drink wine yesterday! Are you worthy of me?" An angry and sharp female voice sounded.

"If you don't like it, just divorce me!" Jiang Hai said drunkenly, "I've always disliked your ugly face! Besides, I won't spend the money, I'll leave it to you."

"Dad, Mom, why are you spending money again?" The tall and strong Da Wa ran in angrily: "Didn't you say that you would save the money for me to marry a wife? He Hua has agreed to marry me as long as I give her family a betrothal gift of fifty taels of silver!"

"Go ask your grandma for the money!" Jiang Hai cursed, "Old bastard! She always told me that she would give me all the money she saved, but she refused to buy me a penny to drink. Her family is so rich, she will take this money into the coffin..."

Little Chen, who is as skinny as a monkey Screaming, "Fifty taels of silver for the betrothal gift?! Why doesn't Hehua die? She can buy two ugly maids with that much! Big boy, listen to your mother, you must not marry such a greedy woman."

"Fifty taels of silver is not a lot?! Big uncle gives you 100 taels of silver every year, and she gives all the money to the second child. It's too much! When you gave me 70% of the Jiang family's property, you calculated that the money for support given by big uncle would not be included in the family property, right?" Big boy was furious, "I have to tell you, if you don't give me this betrothal gift, I won't support her in her old age!"

Old Chen tried to straighten her bent back. She couldn't die yet. If she was gone, this family would fall apart...

However, she is sixty this year. How many more years can she live?

**

Old Chen always knew that she would die of old age, but she didn't expect that her death would be so miserable.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at her youngest son and eldest grandson in disbelief. Neither of them wanted to go out to see a doctor...

She swallowed her last breath unwillingly, staring at the two people she loved the most in her life.

Jiang Hai and Da Wa hugged the silver hidden by Old Chen, panicking.

"What should we do? Grandma is dead!" Da Wa's voice was full of tears. He was afraid, because Grandma's eyes had never closed!

Jiang Hai's drunken head finally sobered up, and he looked at his mother who died with eyes wide open... His teeth were chattering with cold!

What should we do? His mother knew at a glance that it was not a natural death. Looking at the bleeding wound on the back of her head, she knew how much force he used when he pushed her away.

"Don't look at me, don't look at me! It's all your fault. It was you who said I was the hope of the Jiang family!" Jiang Hai burst into tears, "Why didn't you look at me before? Er Wa is my son, and he is not as good at studying as I was back then. Why did you only care about him?!"

No one knew that the better Er Wa studied, the more he hated this son. He was obviously the center of the Jiang family before!

Da Wa tightly grasped the silver and murmured, "It's all because of grandma's partiality! Look at all this silver, a full five hundred taels! You didn't even want to give me fifty taels as a betrothal gift! He Hua is pregnant with my child, I have to marry her as soon as possible..."

"Yes, your grandma is partial..." Jiang Hai tried to convince himself, but he didn't dare to look at his mother, "She wants to leave all the silver to Er Wa, that's partiality!" How much money can he spend on drinking wine, it's obvious that Er Wa's studies cost more money.

"What should I do now?" Da Wa's teeth chattered, "Whether it's killing my mother or my grandmother, I have to die!" He didn't want to die, he still wanted to marry He Hua and see her give birth to their child... Grandma and mother didn't like He Hua, saying that she was not serious, but he was the one who was not serious, he ruined He Hua's body, she got pregnant before marriage.

Jiang Hai divided the silver and said decisively: "Run!"

Da Wa didn't care that his father had taken away most of the silver. He hurriedly put the silver away and rushed to find He Hua.

***

He Hua was dizzy. She just wanted to find an honest man to take over. Why did she elope with him and live a precarious life?

"I can't go with you!" In order to get rid of Da Wa, He Hua had to tell the truth, "The child in my belly is not yours. Otherwise, do you think that I can marry her with fifty taels of silver with such a beautiful face?" There are many local rich men in the city who are willing to pay hundreds of taels of silver to take her as a concubine!

"I killed my own grandmother for you!" Da Wa's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked ferocious. He stretched out his hand and pinched He Hua's neck, "Bitch! I'm going to kill you!"

"Hurry up! Someone is killing people!"

**

The village was in an uproar, as if it was an earthquake. No one could believe it.

"Kill your own grandmother for money?"

"Kill your own mother and run away? Is Jiang Hai still a human?!"

"Dawa also wants to kill his unmarried wife?"

"Hehua is not his unmarried wife, and the baby in her belly is said to be not Daawa's."

"Tsk, Hehua is not a decent girl on weekdays. She often goes to the city in a coquettish manner. Who knows which wild man's baby is in her belly?"

"I know this. Hehua was seen having a secret meeting with Master Geng..."

"No wonder she wants to find Daawa! Madam Geng is a real shrew. She has aborted so many pregnant true lovers... I'm afraid the baby in Hehua's belly will never see the light of day."

The head of the village frowned. The second branch of the Jiang family is a black sheep, and the reputation of the whole village has been ruined.

Most villagers also thought of this and gnashed their teeth in hatred. The biggest income of their village comes from generous tourists! After this incident, who will come to their village?

Jiang He is the father of grain and a favorite of the emperor and the emperor. The county magistrate is naturally very concerned and sent countless detectives to find Jiang Hai's whereabouts. In the end, he found him and put him in jail. He also considerately put the father and son in the same cell so that they would not be lonely.

Jiang He hurriedly brought his family back to attend the funeral.

Erwa's eyes were almost blinded by tears. In one night, he not only lost his grandmother, but also his father and brother.

"What do you want to do?" Jiang He had no feelings for Old Chen, but Erwa was different. He was almost raised by Old Chen.

"Those are my father and brother." Erwa's hands dug into the coffin tightly, "I hate them, but I still can't bear to see them die!"

"You want them to be acquitted?" Jiang He frowned, feeling unhappy. Did Old Chen raise another ungrateful person?

"No!" Erwa's eyes were filled with hatred, "Please ask uncle to exile them! Northwest or south is fine."

These two places are the most chaotic and poorest places in Daqi. Few people exiled to these two places can survive, and even if they survive, they would rather die than live!

Jianghe's face softened, patted Erwa's head, and then hugged him: "Don't be sad, uncle is still here."

Erwa cried out "wow".

Over the years, he has never received any fatherly love from his father, but instead felt it from this uncle who his family felt sorry for.

Da Wa and Jiang Hai were both exiled to the northwest, and Erwa's face was cold. They would probably never see each other again in this life.

"Why don't you come to Beijing with me." Jianghe was a little worried about Erwa. His father killed his mother and his brother killed his grandmother. With these two stains, his life in the village will definitely not be easy in the future.

Erwa bowed deeply, "Thank you uncle, but I have grown up, and I still have my mother." His mother is now stimulated by the grandmother's affairs, and she is stupid and a burden. He can't hurt his uncle.

Jiang He left him some silver, but Er Wa refused to accept it. Jiang He had to give it to the village head and ask him to take care of Er Wa.

Jiang Hai and Da Wa recovered the silver, and Er Wa donated it all to the village school, which helped him to restore his reputation.

Er Wa watched his uncle and his family leave. Xiao Chen drooled and rushed over with disheveled hair and a beggar face: "My husband, you are back. Do you think I am beautiful?"

Er Wa held his mother's hand, "Beautiful, beautiful, very beautiful!"

A middle-aged man saw the mother and son from a distance, turned his head quickly, and walked away in another direction.

Er Wa recognized that this was his second uncle, who had come to his house to beg for money some time ago.

Many years ago, his father went to a brothel and squandered all the money of the Jiang family. His second uncle had to leave the academy and found a job as an accountant, but he was unwilling to let his dream of taking the imperial examination be shattered, and often came to his grandmother to ask for silver.

His grandmother later learned to be smart and did not want to support her ungrateful nephew, especially since this nephew was stupid and vicious.

"Mom, you don't have a mother's home anymore..." Erwa whispered.

His arrogant mother ended up living like the money-loser she hated the most, but...

He will stay with her!

***

Three months later, Jiang He received a letter from the head of the village.

Erwa hired a strong woman to take care of the completely crazy Xiao Chen, and began to study hard behind closed doors, waiting to take the exam for a scholar after the mourning period.

Jiang He sighed deeply, not knowing how to tell his nephew that with the stain of his father and brother, he was destined not to go far in the officialdom in this life.

In the end, Erwa did not intend to pursue a career in officialdom. He wrote to say that he decided to become a teacher after passing the exam for a scholar, because he felt that teaching and educating people was his ideal.

Later, Erwa did become a teacher for his whole life. Regardless of whether the students he taught achieved success or not, the most recognized point was their character, and they could all be called gentlemen!

After a long time, no one mentioned his father and brother in front of Erwa anymore. Everyone respectfully called him "Mr.".

Due to his mad mother's burden, he didn't marry a gentle woman who divorced because of childlessness until he was 40. Both of them were not young, and they didn't have the sweetness of young people, but they also managed to respect each other and support each other.

Occasionally, someone would sigh that he had no children, and his wife would look at him with guilt.

He grabbed his wife's hand and told her not to feel guilty.

He always felt that his father was despicable. If the second house had been smooth sailing, he might become a despicable person.

"I'm worried that I will give birth to a despicable child." He murmured to his wife, "It's good that there are only two of us."

The couple without offspring treated all the children in the academy as their own children.

The couple liked children, and they didn't punish them like other teachers. The children they taught had better grades, and more and more people liked to send their children to study in his academy.

After Erwa died, people from the entire county came to the funeral, and countless people cried and called out "Mr.".

Someone who was good at writing storybooks wrote a biography of him and sighed: "Even if he has no children, it is worth living to this point."

***

"Husband, husband..." The white-haired old woman closed her eyes and cried in panic.

"Shun Niang, wake up, you have a nightmare." Jiang He, who was also an old man, patted her face gently.

Shun Niang opened her eyes, as if she was in another world, and threw herself into Jiang He's arms, choking and saying: "Husband, I had a terrible nightmare." She dreamed that her husband died early and her two daughters died tragically, all because of Jiang Erlang. She bit off Jiang Erlang's ear...

Jiang He comforted her softly: "It's said to be a dream, dreams are the opposite of reality. Today is your 80th birthday, and both daughters will come back later..."

Shun Niang calmed down, how could she dream of Jiang Hai, he had been dead for decades.

He and Da Wa died on the way to exile in the northwest. It is said that they were hacked to death by bandits, and their bodies were directly fed to the vultures in the sky. The husband also asked the emperor to send troops to suppress this group of evil bandits.

The merchants who came and went clapped their hands in joy, which was also the only contribution made by Jiang Hai and his son.

Jiang He touched his wife's silver hair, and they were considered to be together for a long time: "Shun Niang, I bought you a golden hairpin, which is very beautiful."

Shun Niang said angrily: "You are an old woman, why do you still wear a hairpin..."

"Great-grandfather, great-grandmother are old and never stop." A baby voice came from outside the door.

Jiang Chengen quickly covered his grandson's mouth: "Shut up, your great-grandparents are abusing dogs..." He was abused to the point of becoming a grandfather, and he had to continue to be abused.

Shunniang blushed and quickly changed the subject: "Jiang Chengen, wait for your two sisters at the door. Their family is coming over today."

After the two daughters got married, they gave birth to a lot of naughty children, and the naughty children gave birth to naughty grandchildren. Every day was a mess. The two sons-in-law carefully selected by their husbands liked to bring their families back to see their father-in-law...

Really, Shunniang grabbed her husband's hand and sighed leisurely and happily. It seems that today is another day without peace.

The author has something to say: This world is over, and I will continue to the new world tomorrow.

Update at 8:00 tomorrow morning:)
