Grandpa

The old lady stood up from the stool with a swipe, "What's going on?"

The man entered the room, leaned on the table, and said out of breath, "It's Wang Shengli's house. The two sons-in-laws of Chen Er's family have brought more than [-] people, and they are blocking the door of Wang Shengli's house? Say yes - Said to ask the Wang family to give an explanation."

Hearing this, the old lady frowned, and was about to go out: "Let's go, let's go and have a look. Twenty or so people ran to the boundary of our Hexia Village to find fault. People, right? Damingzi, go—call me all the elders in the village."

The old aunt's voice, not to mention what was going on, anyway, it determined the nature of the matter.

"Okay." The young man took two deep breaths, turned around and ran out.

Le Yang and the others looked at each other, the excitement on their faces could not be concealed.

It's such a lively scene, it's a pity not to go up and have a look.

Thinking of this, a group of people immediately jumped up and trotted to follow.

After all, the old lady is about 67 years old, her legs are weak, and she slowed down after walking a long distance. Le Yang saw it and hurried up to help her.

"Oh, it really is old." Panting, the old aunt put one hand on Le Yang's wrist, and kept shaking her head.

"How can it be? The little grandma looks about the same age as my mother. If you say old, we won't recognize it." Le Yang said with a straight face.

Hearing what Le Yang said, the old aunt immediately smiled: "I believe, you are the only one with a sweet mouth, just like your father—"

Le Yang chuckled twice, rolled his eyes: "But little grandma, what is going on with Wang Shengli's family?"

The old lady who had been coaxed by Le Yang and felt extremely at ease was still a little hesitant at first, but when she met his obedient and obedient little round face, she thought that Le Yang was also from Hexia Village anyway, so she didn't keep her mouth shut about the fire. I told you, there is nothing to hide now, and the pace is even slower now.

As for the others following behind, they were directly ignored by her.

The old lady patted Le Yang's hand, pretending to be dissatisfied and said, "What Wang Shengli? According to the seniority in the village, you have to call Uncle Wang."

"Yes yes yes, Second Uncle Wang, Second Uncle Wang." Le Yang said with a smile.

The old aunt sighed: "This Wang Shengli is a hard-working man. His father is not a good guy. This matter has to be talked about more than 40 years ago..."

Hexia Village is a village with mixed surnames, and the Chen and Wang surnames are the two largest surnames in the village.Hexia Village has been established for 200 years. Although there are intermarriages and so on, the disputes between the two surnames have never ceased.In the past, it was a struggle for water and land, but after the peasants stood up and became the masters, it was a struggle for power.

What I'm talking about is that at the time of the great turmoil, didn't the country set up cooperative production teams?The Chen family had a member of the People's Liberation Army who had retired from the ranks. The higher-ups saw that he had a good background, was popular and upright, so he was directly appointed as the captain of the production team.When it was the Wang family's turn, they were naturally unwilling to lag behind, and got the position of vice-captain only after losing the relationship with the boss.

The captain of the Chen family has a good background, and many comrades in arms work in the government departments of the county. He is welcomed wherever he goes, and he is allowed to open the back door wherever he asks.These comings and goings really brought a lot of benefits to the production team. The captain of the Chen family became the most prestigious person in the village, and even the waist of the Chen family straightened up.

On the contrary, he is the vice-captain of the Wang family. It doesn't matter if he has no connections, but he has to shrink back and work honestly.But the members of the Chen family are not relentless, and will make fun of them every now and then, poking their hearts openly and secretly.

In addition, the team leader has the greatest power, and the Chen family members are given priority for any light work with a lot of work points. Of course, they are not stupid, and occasionally arrange a few good jobs for other surnames to win them over.Isn't it all heavy and tiring work when it falls on the Wang family?

The Wang family is suffering, and the other surnames in the village will naturally turn to the Chen family when they get benefits. If this happens, even the honest people will be suffocated.

"Don't hold back until 1970, when it was chaotic." The old aunt sighed: "The county magistrate has sent people to jail, and everywhere are waving small red flags, carrying Chairman Mao's Large photos, parades and so on."

It was at this time that the Wang family suddenly saw the dawn of turning around.

"Now I don't remember who came up with the bad idea. Anyway, when I came back to my senses, the captain of the Chen family had already been put on a sign and dragged to parade in the street. He was tossed to death within a few days. I only heard that Someone wrote an anonymous letter to report that the captain of the Chen family bent the law for personal gain, bribed officials, lived extravagantly, and is a typical capitalist roader."

At that time, I heard that the wind was the rain, and people with a heart were making troubles, wishing that there would be more such things.In addition, when the higher-ups came to arrest people, it happened that several colorful clothes were found from the captain of the Chen family's house. Didn't they just sit on the crime of the captain of the Chen family on the spot?

When such a thing happened, if you think about it with your brain, you will know that it is a good thing that the Wang family did. After all, the other surnames in the village have enjoyed many benefits from the Chen family in the past few years, and they are also close to the Chen family. From the matter of self-destruction, as for the other production teams, who have no grudges and no grudges, can they offend others?

In the end, is there only the Wang family left who has always harbored resentment?

But so what if we know, the captain of the Chen family has fallen, and the deputy captain of the Wang family will go up!

Now it's finally the Chen family's turn to be unlucky.

Those who were used to being relaxed before were all sent to do the heaviest and most tiring work. After a few days, the Chen family couldn't bear the pain in their backs and legs, and they lay down several times.

The Wang family saw it, and immediately laughed from ear to ear, right.

But before they were happy for a few days, something happened to the Wang family.

It was Wang Shengli's father who had the accident.

"Wang Shengli's father, Wang Laosan, was the next-door cousin of the captain of the Wang family. Because he was the only son in the family, he was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child. When he was old, he reluctantly married a wife and had a baby. Learned to steal chickens and dogs, and idled around all day without being serious."

"At that time, there was a Chen He in the Chen family. He married a daughter-in-law who died of illness not long after giving birth to a daughter. His daughter-in-law was also a ruthless one who left orphans and widows behind. She was only in her early twenties, but she insisted on staying in the The Chen family is unwilling to abandon their daughter and remarry, because they almost severed ties with their mother's family."

"Unexpectedly, this woman dragged her daughter to 14 years old by herself. 14 years old, it is exactly the same age as Hua. However, Wang Laosan is so bold and has a bad intention. He tricked the little girl into the house He gave him a bag of biscuits and wanted to coax the little girl to sleep with him. Who would have thought that at his age, he would have already become a governor, so he would immediately flee. Seeing that the kidnapping plan was useless, he simply used force..."

The old aunt sighed and said: "The little girl fled home while Wang Laosan was asleep. In those days, when a woman lost her virginity, it was like the sky falling. When the widow of the Li family saw it, her eyes went dark. That night, Leaving a blood letter, the two mothers were hanged together in the Chen family ancestral hall."

This is because she knows that the two of them are orphans and widowed, and Wang Laosan dares to bully her daughter like this. One is because her family has no man to support her, and the other is because Wang Laosan's cousin is the captain of the team.

Wang Laosan is ruthless, and she is even more ruthless.

"My mother and I are so dead. When the Chen family saw it, their eyes turned red as expected. They went to Wang Laosan's house. When the Wang family arrived, Wang Laosan and his parents tried to protect his parents and Wang Laosan. His wives were all beaten to death by the stunned Chen family."

Le Yang's eyes widened. Doesn't this kind of thing only happen on TV?

He stammered and asked, "Later, what happened later?"

The old aunt shook her head: "Six people lost their lives all of a sudden. Although Wang Laosan deserves to die, his parents and wife are innocent. Wang Laosan committed a crime. In those days, rape was punishable by guns. If this charge is taken advantage of by someone with a heart, the captain of the Wang family will probably be dragged down as well."

"The Chen family who killed someone was afraid of being charged with homicide, and the Wang family was afraid of losing the position of captain. Both sides had their own concerns, and they hit it off, and the matter was reconciled in private. It's just that although the third son died, there was a newly weaned son left behind. son, who is now Wang Shengli."

"Such a young child can't ignore his life and death. Under the pressure of the Wang family, the Chen family was forced to pay another sum of money. Don't think it was a lot at that time, but raising a child to adulthood would definitely It's not enough. The Wang family still hates the troubles caused by his father. How can they be willing to raise a rapist's seed, but don't let the upper beam be wrong and the lower beam crooked. The mouse's son will make holes and so on. Come."

"It was at this time that a family jumped out. His family belonged to the poor Ding Dong, who ate the last meal without the next meal, and owed the villagers a whole lot of money, and they were counting on the money to save the emergency. .”

"Since someone is willing to adopt, the Wang family doesn't care what happens to this family. They just want to send this hot potato out quickly. This family didn't really adopt it in the first place, so how could they treat Wang Shengli well? The old lady’s surname is Chen, and Wang Shengli is a master of cattle and horses in his family. He started working on the stove at the age of six, and went to the field at the age of 12. He is a young man who is half a child.”

"When it was Wang Shengli's 23 or [-], it was probably because he had heard enough gossip from the neighbors, and every household in the village became rich. His family didn't expect Wang Shengli to do that kind of rough work, but they didn't want to pay a fortune. I gave him a dowry gift to marry his wife. I simply gave Wang Shengli a bag of corn and threw it out the door along with a pile of his tattered clothes, severing the relationship."

Speaking of this, the old aunt's expression was gloomy: "This family is the Wang family that was destroyed in the first fire two years ago."

Le Yang trembled all over, subconsciously said: "Then the second year's Master Chen, and the current Chen Er's family?"

The old lady said in a deep voice, "It's just two of the six families surnamed Chen who killed four members of Wang Laosan's family back then."

Having said that, what a coincidence it must have been for three families to die in a row, or they all died in the fire, and the most important thing was that they were still feuding with Wang Shengli.

But it was precisely because there were not so many coincidences, and the police came three times without finding anything, that this matter was evil.What's more, the old god kept silent, obviously he was taboo about something.Everyone in the village knew that no one dared to be the first bird at this time, but they did not expect that the two sons-in-law of the second Chen family would be so bold as to stir up trouble.

Just as he was talking, Wang Shengli arrived at his home.
