Chapter 115: Everything Has Cause and Effect (Part 2)

A Liang tilted his head and pursed his lips towards Huan Yu.

"You have a lot of things to do. If I had known earlier, you might as well go eat with us!" Yuchiyang became a little impatient and raised his hand to pull him aside.

"Ayu, what are you doing?" He strode into the house.

Huan Yu stood up and said with a smile: "Uncle is back, I'm drinking tea."

Seeing that Xiao Bi was still outside the house, he said to Yuchi Yang: "It's getting late, Xiaojiu and I should go back to the inn first."

This private house is too small, and Xiao Bi is a girl, so it is difficult to stay here.

"Will the young master come again tomorrow?" A Liang asked.

Huan Yu patted his shoulder and looked at Yuchi Yang: "When does little uncle plan to leave?"

Yuchiyang said: "If you don't need my help, then I will leave tomorrow morning. Although the weapons matter is not urgent, it is not easy to deal with it if it is delayed like this."

Huan Yu nodded: "Aji's behavior is impetuous, so it's good for my uncle to go to Beijing and watch him.

Xiaojiu and I have important matters to attend to, so it is inconvenient to stay here longer, and we will not come to see off my uncle early tomorrow morning."

Yuchi Yang turned around and looked at Xiao Bi: "I can stay in the capital for a month at most. If you two finish your work and return to the capital early, maybe we can meet again."

"Yes." Huan Yu said to A Liang again: "Brother A Liang will continue to act according to grandfather's plan. If you have any questions, please contact me in time."

"Yes, Second Young Master." A Liang clasped his fists.

※※※※

As the night gets darker, the night markets have basically dispersed, and there are only a few scattered lights on the streets.

Huan Yu had never said before that he would leave early tomorrow morning, so Xiao Bi naturally wanted to know the reason for his sudden change of plans.

But seeing that he didn't seem to be very interested, Xiao Bi had to change the topic.

"Brother Huan, did you and Uncle Yuchi grow up together?"

"That's right. My uncle grew up in my maternal grandfather's house, but they all live in Wuwei County, which is quite far away from Tianshui County."

Xiao Bi's smile disappeared instantly: "The uncle's parents..."

"My uncle's father and my grandfather were sworn brothers, and he and my grandfather were also close friends. It's a pity that he was martyred in the war eighteen years ago."

"What about his mother?"

"Run away with another man."

Xiao Bi muttered: "No wonder uncle..."

"My uncle is a very optimistic and cheerful person. What's more, after so many years, he has already taken a dim view of the matter."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Xiao Bi said clearly, "You can tell what kind of character uncle is just by looking at him. I just think it's a little strange that he is such a generous person but so stingy.

Now that I hear what you say, I can think of a reason."

Huan Yu finally had a smile on his face again: "In just such a short time, you discovered my uncle's problem?"

There are some things he is really embarrassed to say.

The child was chewing on the candied haws bought by his uncle and said that he was stingy. Is that really okay?

Xiao Pei said confidently: "He is stingy to begin with. I only listened to him praise the deliciousness of the meat along the way. But when he heard that there were five coins for meat noodles and two coins for plain noodles, he immediately took out four coins and ordered two bowls of plain noodles.

I couldn’t stand it anymore and wanted to treat him to a kebab, but what do you think he said?”

"It's better to have two bowls of plain noodles." Huan Yu imitated Yu Chiyang's voice and replied.

Xiao Bi was amused by him and shook the candied haws in her hand: "You must have thought that I was not a decent person just now, right?"

"You said that yourself."

"I'm right, but this is a gift from the old man who sells candied haws on a stick. It cost no money at all."

"Sent?"

"Yes, the old man almost fell down. My uncle and I helped him in time, and he stuffed me with a bunch of candied haws."

Huan Yu finally laughed out loud.

Xiao Bi said again: "But after hearing you tell me about uncle's life experience, I understand him.

It is not easy for a man without a backer to be so frugal in order to provide a good life for his wife and children."

Huan Yu's laughter stopped abruptly.

If the light hadn't been too dark at this time, Xiao Bi would have noticed that his expression was a little strange.

"Did uncle say these words?"

"Yeah, I asked him why he was so frugal, and he said it was to make his wife and children live a better life.

I was secretly thinking at the time that even if my uncle had such a thick beard, there would be girls he could like... and he wouldn't be afraid of being stabbed... Haha..."

"Uncle is not married." Huan Yu said suddenly.

Xiao Bi's laughter also stopped abruptly: "What?"

"I said that my uncle is not married yet and has no children.

What he talked to you just now was about the future, and although my uncle has no backer, he doesn't need to be so frugal in this life for his wife and children.

Because...he is a rich man, very, very rich..."

Xiao Bi's hand loosened and the remaining candied haws fell to the ground.

"You are very, very rich, how much is that?"

Huan Yu coughed lightly: "I can't tell you exactly how many. Anyway, just remember that he is a rich man and don't be misled by his stingy behavior."

Xiao Bi thought for a while, whether he was a helpless and frugal young man, or a wife and children who had nothing to offer, they were all misled by the uncle's stingy behavior.

"Brother Huan, my uncle's conditions are so good, why haven't he married yet?"

"Maybe I haven't met a girl I like yet."

"That's right. With such a big beard, other girls thought he was already a father...

No, I was wrong. Could it be that he grew a beard just to avoid being pestered by girls?"

Huan Yu has a headache. Although Xiao Jiu looks like a boy, she is still a girl after all.

Girls are always more sensitive and delicate than boys on certain things.

"Okay, I'll tell you everything about my little uncle.

About three or four years ago, a distant relative of my uncle proposed to him a marriage.

At that time, he was working hard for his future and had no intention of getting married, so he found an excuse to avoid it.

But his distant relative thought he was picky, so he took it upon himself to take the girl to Wuwei County to see him in person.

I never thought that they encountered bandits on the way and kidnapped the girl. I heard that she was used by the bandits as their wife."

Xiao Bi almost wanted to cry.

Why is uncle so unlucky?

My mother ran away with someone, and her relatives finally found her a daughter-in-law, but she was robbed by bandits and made her the wife of a villager.

"Is it possible that the uncle felt sorry for that girl, so he never got married?"

Huan Yu raised his hand and almost struck her head as Aji's head.

"I heard from Little Fifth Brother that you and Hua Shizi have been thinking about those playbooks of Hua Qian Yue Xia all day long, and they have really damaged their heads!

How can there be so much affection for a woman who has never even met in person?

After the uncle heard about this, he asked someone to send a thousand taels of silver to the girl's family.
