Parents are busy farming

In a small village in the Daning Dynasty, it was half past the Yin hour in early winter but not yet Mao hour.

It was pitch black all around, and only a few shadows could be seen vaguely.

Ten-year-old Lu Zifen slowly stretched out her little hand from the quilt and fumbled to put on her clothes.

He opened his door very gently to prevent any noise.

He tiptoed to the gate of the yard.

Tiptoeing, he took off the door latch.

Open the door and walk out.

He turned around and closed the door gently.

Everyone in the family was asleep, and no one noticed her departure.

After walking a few hundred meters, Sayazi started running.

As soon as she ran like this, someone else's dog heard the movement and barked.

As a result, one family's dog barked, which infected the entire village's dogs.

This made her even more frightened, and she didn't dare to stop at all, running until she was out of breath.

Finally stopped at the door of a house.

After taking a few deep breaths, she waved her little fist and knocked hard on the door of the house.

After knocking for a long time, a sound came from inside.

"Who is it? It's midnight." An old man's hoarse voice came from inside.

"Grandpa Liu, it's me! Zifen."

The little girl swallowed a sip of saliva to moisten her dry throat.

"Who is it?" The old man is old and a little deaf.

"It's me, Zifen." The little girl raised her voice again and answered.

"It's Zifen! What's the matter? It's still dark!" the old man asked as he opened the door.

"I want you to send me to Wangjiazhuang. It's urgent." Lu Zifen answered loudly.

"What's going on? You have to go so early. Let's go after dawn!" Mr. Liu said nonchalantly.

The door was finally opened, and a middle-aged man wrapped in a worn-out cotton-padded jacket walked out.

Lu Zifen saw Mr. Liu and immediately took out his wallet.

I poured out all the copper coins from my purse and handed them to Mr. Liu, about a dozen of them.

"Grandpa Liu, I have something urgent, so you can send me on my way!" Lu Zifen was so anxious that she almost cried.

The village where Lu Zifen is now is called Lujiazhuang, and Wangjiazhuang is the village where her grandmother lives.

As for why she rushed to Wangjiazhuang, it was definitely not convenient for her to reveal it to Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu looked at the handful of coins in his hand, and then looked at the little girl's anxious look, and finally couldn't bear to lead the cow and hitch the cart.

Lu Zifen was wearing the cotton-padded jacket she wore at home today. She had sweated when she ran, and now she shivered when the wind blew her.

After Mr. Liu saw it, he said, ‘Hey! ’ He sighed and went back to the house to get an old woman’s old cotton-padded jacket and put it on her.

"Let's go! Wangjiazhuang is not too far, but you won't dare to walk too fast when it gets dark. Put on my old woman's cotton-padded jacket and don't freeze." He ordered.

Hold on to the bullock cart and let the little girl get on.

Lu Zifen climbed into the car on her hands and knees and quickly sat down in the car.

Mr. Liu flicked his whip and the ox cart started.

Why Lu Zifen rushed to Wangjiazhuang was because she knew that today her grandma would definitely make a fuss over the thirty acres of fertile land left by her aunt!

Why! This matter has to start with her grandfather's generation. Back then, his grandfather Lu Dashan encountered a wolf on the mountain and was rescued by Ye Dazhi, an Orion from the same village.

In order to thank him for saving his life, he betrothed his sister Lu Yunduo to Ye Dazhi.

But Lu Yunduo was shot to death by the black blind man on the mountain before he could reach Menye Dazhi.

What remains are his elderly parents and his unmarried daughter-in-law, as well as the 30 acres of farmland accumulated by two generations of his family.

The Ye family moved here from another place and had no close relatives at all.

The old couple of the Ye family immediately became helpless.

There are also some family properties that are coveted.

Lu Yunduo is also a figure, and he has become a stranger.

Both families felt sorry for the young girl, so Lu Dashan agreed to adopt their eldest son Lu Yongwang to Lu Yunduo.

Because Lu Yunduo was very filial to the Ye family, they agreed.

With their sons gone, they had no idea who would inherit the fields.

From then on, Lu Yunduo raised Lu Yongwang as his own son. Not only did he send him to a private school, but he also got him a daughter from another family.

Yesterday, Lu Yunduo, who was just fifty, was buried. In the evening, Lu Zifen's grandmother, Lu Li, began to demand that the thirty acres of fertile land be put into the public domain.

It was Mr. Lu who said it was too late and we would talk about it tomorrow, so he suppressed the matter for the time being.

But with her grandma's character, she would definitely make a fuss today, and she was the kind who wouldn't stop until she achieved her goal.

Now she has to rush to her uncle's house to move reinforcements.

*

Her uncle is not a biological uncle either. Her grandfather only has two daughters and no son.

Her mother, Wang Tinghe, lost her mother at the age of three and her father at the age of thirteen.

For the sake of the Wang family's incense, he resolutely adopted the son of his sixth uncle's family.

He left half of his dowry to his younger brother and helped him drive away the eldest sister who came to rob the family property.

Not only that, but he was also married to a concubine from the magistrate's family in Hong County as his wife.

Therefore, although an uncle is not a biological uncle, he is better than a biological uncle.

After thinking about it, we arrived at Wangjiazhuang.

When Lu Zifen came to her senses, they had been walking on the road for two hours.

"Grandpa Liu, wait for me. I'll go in and bring you a bowl of hot soup to warm your stomach."

Lu Zifen stood up as he spoke, but his legs were already numb from sitting in one position for a long time.

This time I stood up and almost got out of the car.

Grandpa Liu had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed her hand.

"Why are you in a hurry? What if you fall? Don't worry, Grandpa Liu will be waiting for you."

The old man blamed her, but he was very worried about her.

The little girl didn't say anything along the way. She had something urgent on her mind. She still thought about him when she got off the car. She was a good child.

Lu Zifen moved a little and felt much better, so she immediately jumped out of the car and ran to her uncle's house.

The door of her uncle's house was already open. She ran and shouted, "Uncle, uncle! I am Zifen, are you at home?"

At this time, the curtain of the main room was opened, and a tall, tough-looking man came out.

This person is none other than her uncle Wang Tingfeng.

"Hey! My precious niece is here!" Wang Tingfeng was about to hug Lu Zifen when he was caught by his wife behind him.

"Women are not allowed to sit together when they are seven years old. Zifen is already ten years old." A gentle woman's angry voice came from the room.

"Yes, yes! Look at me, I'm so happy that I forgot about it." The man smiled naively. Mr. Wang, who was respected by everyone outside, only behaved like this in front of his wife.

"Uncle, he quickly asked someone to bring a bowl of hot soup to Grandpa Liu. He is still waiting outside!" Lu Zifen said.

"Hey! I'll go!" A man in the room responded.

That voice should be her eldest cousin Wang Chuanxing.

"Why are you here so early in the morning? At what time did you rush here?" Aunt Wang Hong was still attentive.

"My aunt was buried yesterday. After you left, my grandma asked my father to put the 30 acres of land that belonged to my aunt's house to the public. It was my grandpa who used the night as an excuse to calm down. With my grandma's character, she will definitely have to die today. It’s such a big fuss. Shouldn’t I come and ask for help immediately?”

The little girl was crying and full of helplessness.

"What a shameless old witch, how could you confiscate something that belongs to your family and send it to hers!" After hearing this, my uncle was full of anger.

"The root cause of this matter is that my brother-in-law has not changed his surname, but it shouldn't be difficult to handle. If I take my sister and brother-in-law's Gengxin invitations from that year and go to the acquaintances of the old man's Yamen, the matter should be settled."

Otherwise, you still need to have a lady from an official family! To know is to know more.

"Yes! What the lady said makes sense. I'm going to go to the county government office to find Mr. Liu." After speaking, the uncle stood up.

"Why are you so anxious? Sit down and listen to what I have to say." My aunt looked at my uncle angrily.

"County office, let Chuanxing go. You go find all the brothers from the Wang family and follow you to Lujiacun. They have all received favors from their sister, and it's time for them to contribute." After her aunt finished speaking, she looked over. Looking at uncle.

When the uncle saw his wife looking over, he nodded quickly.

"I'll go with you too. My father is also the county magistrate, so they don't dare to do anything to me. Try to get that family to move out of their house."

The aunt immediately spoke to Ye Zifen's heart. She looked at her aunt with stars in her eyes and was filled with admiration.
