Chapter 3119 Family Struggle
Xiao Huaili was very disappointed with his son, because his son did not inherit his character at all.
He was cowardly by nature, and he was doing scientific experiments all day long. His son did not need these.
But Xiao Cang was different. If it was not a happy day today, Xiao Huaili would have wanted to slap him directly.
"Huaili, what are you talking about? It's rare that Xiao Cang is back. Don't mention such unhappy words."
Xiao Cang's mother spoke for Xiao Cang here, and also hoped that Xiao Cang would take care of himself.
After all, in the Xiao family, a child without ambition would not be liked by anyone, especially as the son of Xiao Huaili.
Xiao Cang did not want to share his father's worries, but instead studied those messy and fictitious things.
From this point of view, Xiao Cang had already lost to Xiao Qing. Xiao Cang also understood his situation in the Xiao family and knelt in front of Xiao Huaili.
He did not say a word, but only Xiao Cang knew the desires and ambitions deep in his heart.
Now it was a temporary endurance. Xiao Cang stretched out his fist, raised his head and still smiled, and said to Xiao Huaili.
"Father, I know I was wrong. Today is my brother's big day. Is there anything I can do?"
Xiao Huaili had long been dissatisfied with Xiao Cang, but today was his son's wedding day, so he really couldn't lose his temper.
Many people around were watching here, so Xiao Cang was spared for this time, so that no one would be embarrassed at that time.
"Today, I punish you to lead your brother's horse, so that you can reflect on what you did wrong."
There was a pure white horse in the yard, equipped with a red festive saddle. Today, this horse was Xiao Qing's mount.
He would ride a white horse and follow the wedding procession to welcome the bride. Leading the horse was originally what the servants should do.
Think about it, the one riding on the horse is Xiao Qing, and he, as a younger brother, can only lead the horse for Xiao Qing like a servant.
For ordinary people, this is a humiliation, and they must be unable to bear it in their hearts, but at this time, Xiao Cang smiled.
He looked up at his father, very happy with this job, and said happily.
"Then father, I will go to lead the horse."
Xiao Qing was very happy that his younger brother led the horse for him.
Looking at his father's attitude today, it can be said that he has completely lost confidence in his younger brother, and he doesn't have to worry about these things at all.
However, Xiao Qing, as an elder brother, took out his brother's appearance at this time and went forward to talk to his father.
"Father, I think you should not let Xiao Cang lead the horse. Leading the horse was originally done by servants. If it is spread out, it will damage the reputation of our family."
Xiao Qing pleaded for Xiao Cang here, but Xiao Huaili had made up his mind, and no one could change his determination.
"I didn't punish him to face the wall and reflect on his mistakes, which is already considered as forgiving him. Don't plead for him. Let him lead the horse for you this time!"
Xiao Huaili said, this is a light forgiveness for Xiao Cang on the day of the big wedding, Xiao Cang has no second choice at this time.
However, he smiled excitedly and walked out of the yard without changing his clothes.
He was wearing a red silk and holding the reins of the horse in his hand, and he really became a horseman.
His father had already made the decision, so Xiao Qing didn't say anything more at this moment, which would not only delay the wedding procession.
He walked out immediately, and Xiao Cang brought a stool and put it aside.
"Brother, please get on the horse!"
Xiao Cang looked like a servant, and Xiao Qing felt a little embarrassed.
He walked to Xiao Cang's side and whispered.
"Father was just angry for a moment. I'll go and plead for you when he calms down."
"Thank you for your kindness, brother. I'm used to it."
"Hey... you!"
Xiao Qing stepped on the saddle and got on the horse. The person walking in front of the wedding procession shouted at this moment.
"Let's go!"
The wedding procession began to set off, and walked along a road in a mighty manner, towards the planned route.
Xiao Cang led the horse and followed all the way. Xiao Huaili and his wife could not continue to follow the rest of the journey.
They had to wait for the return of the wedding procession in the wedding hall. Looking at the distant procession, Xiao Huaili sighed.
"Hey..."
The wife knew what Xiao Huaili was thinking. No matter what, he was her son, and she couldn't bear to treat Xiao Cang like this.
It's a pity that this is the rule set by the family. The position of the head of the family can only be passed on to the eldest son.
So her attitude towards Xiao Cang has become much colder. She had no choice but not to do this. She stood beside Xiao Huaili and said.
"Okay, don't be angry. Cang'er is also our child. If he wants to do something, let him do it."
Anyway, the position of the head of the family has already belonged to Xiao Qing. For Xiao Cang, there is no chance to fight for it.
Thinking about how to make up for Xiao Cang, the wife thought about letting Xiao Cang do what he likes.
Xiao Huaili turned around and looked at the chair in the house, the position where the head of the family can sit.
It's just that this position will be replaced at any time. He turned back and said to his wife.
"Do you think I'm really angry and think Xiao Cang is useless?"
"Then why are you angry? Xiao Cang just came back a few days late."
Women are women after all. They are short-sighted and can only see what's in front of them, but never look at the long-term.
Although his son is not around him all year round, Xiao Huaili has always been paying attention to Xiao Cang's actions.
He found that Xiao Cang was not as simple as he seemed. The reason why he was not in the Xiao family was to eliminate his brother's vigilance.
Because Xiao Cang knew in his heart that if he stayed at home, he would only become the target of his brother's hostility.
"I happened to be worried that Cang'er hid too deeply. Do you think he really didn't care about the affairs of the Xiao family?"
"What? Could it be that Cang'er?"
Xiao Huaili sat down with the help of a chair. He had never been so tired.
He had spent a lot of effort to grab the position of the head of the family, but in the end he found that he got nothing.
Instead, it made him so tired. If he had known this, he would rather not fight for this position.
"In order to sit on the position of the head of the family, I took action against my brother. I have always raised two children, and the focus is on Xiao Qing."
Xiao Huaili said, he just didn't want the tragedy to happen in his own family, but it was counterproductive.
Watching the two children grow up, everything seemed to develop according to his own plan, but there were always unexpected moments.
"Cang'er acted very cowardly, but he hid it very well. He didn't dare to have any improper thoughts about the position of the head of the family, so he found a way to leave the Xiao family."
"How is it possible? Cang'er doesn't seem like such a child. He is usually very well-behaved."
"What you see with your eyes is just one side of him. If these two children can be combined, it would be perfect."
