Grandpa

Turning a corner and going out, the field of vision immediately widened.

The first thing that catches the eye is seven or eight motorcycles and a somewhat dilapidated van. Looking forward, there are human heads inside and outside, round after round, packed to the brim.

I just heard someone shouting loudly inside: "Who else could it be if it's not your Wang Shengli? The Wang family two years ago, my uncle's family a year ago, and now my father-in-law's family. They are full of plans. These three families will fight with you Wang Shengli in Hexia Village." There is a feud between the family, who else but you would be so ruthless. Folks in Hexia Village, don’t you think so?”

Unexpectedly, none of the villagers from Hexia Village who surrounded him spoke. The group of relatives and friends he brought over saw this, looked left and right for a long time, and did not know who shouted: "That's right."

The group of people immediately raised their voices and followed suit.

Compared with the silent villagers of Hexia Village, the scene was even more embarrassing.

At this time, a few old elders of the Chen family jumped out from the crowd, he pulled them aside involuntarily, and said in a low voice: "Da Zhuang, listen to Uncle, stop making trouble—"

Unexpectedly, the villagers in Hexia Village were so uncooperative. Even the Chen family, who was of the same clan as his father-in-law Chen Er, kept a secret and didn't want to speak up for him at all.

The young man looked disdainful, and he understood the worries of the villagers in Hexia Village, but what era is it now, and what feudal superstitions are still being practiced.Anyway, he walked so many roads and saw many chickens, ducks, dogs and geese that suddenly jumped out of the grass, but he had never seen a ghost, so he really didn't believe in this evil.

He slapped the elder Chen's hand away, and stared: "Uncle, don't stop me, you don't know that my Yue'e passed out on the spot when she heard that her mother's family was gone. Wake up. You, Hexia Village, are good. They buried people without even notifying you. I won’t pursue this matter for now. Seeing that the eight members of the Yue family died in vain, I will seek an explanation for my Yue family no matter what I say today."

As he said that, he walked forward in two or three steps, grabbed the lapel of the middle-aged man standing at the gate of the yard, and said in a harsh voice: "Wang Shengli, tell me, did you set the fire in my Yue's house?"

Wang Shengli was in a cold sweat, his eyes were full of panic, his face was pale, and he stammered: "It's not me, it's really not me, how could I kill someone..."

The more flustered he was, the more the young man felt that he was guilty, and his tone became more and more aggressive: "Who else could it be if it wasn't you? What evil are you talking about? I think it's you from Hexia Village who want to shield you, an arsonist... ..."

"What are you yelling—" the old aunt yelled violently, and the young man's unfinished words were blocked in an instant.

There was a way out of the crowd.

"Grandma—"

"Grandma—"

"Auntie—"

Those around here, whether they are people surnamed Chen or people surnamed Wang, old and young, when they saw the old lady, they all greeted each other.

Who made the old lady have a higher seniority!

She was born in the Chen family and married into the Wang family.It was after the Wang Laosan incident that the Wang and Chen families of Hexia Village got married for the first time, indicating that the two families abandoned their past grievances and resentments and reunited—even if it was just pretending.

Anyway, since then, although the Wang and Chen families have had a lot of friction in private, at least they can maintain a harmonious coexistence on the surface.

Of course, these are glossy words.The most important thing is that the old aunt knows how to raise children. Her husband died early, and she worked hard to raise three and a half children.Now her eldest son is the deputy division commander in the army, with the rank of colonel; the second son is the deputy chief of the county police station; A certain scholar in a certain field.

The old aunt is amazing, the reason why she stayed in the village, besides not wanting to cause trouble to her son and daughter, was mainly because she was thinking about the land of the village, not to mention living in a big city suddenly, which was always uncomfortable in every way.

It is also because of these that the old lady has a detached position in Hexia Village.

Seeing the old lady coming, even though he had expected this moment, for some reason, the young man's arrogance disappeared three points, and he stiffened his neck, "Old lady, you are my father-in-law's cousin who hasn't delivered three clothes, I The father-in-law's family of eight will be gone if they say nothing, you can't sit idly by..."

The old lady ignored him at all, and scolded directly: "Hurry up and let me go—"

The young man shivered subconsciously, loosened his fingers, and Wang Shengli was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

A middle-aged woman in her thirties rushed out from behind the courtyard door, and carefully helped Wang Shengli up.

The old lady was full of aura, and her eyes scanned the faces of the twenty or so people from other villages, and finally stopped on the young man, "Da Zhuang, what are you trying to do by bringing so many people to my Hexia Village?"

Hearing this, the fear on the young man's face was swept away, and he sullenly said, "Old lady, didn't I just say that, I just want to ask for an explanation for my father-in-law's family of eight."

"That's right, people can't just die like this." The relatives and friends who followed behind him immediately echoed, with a look of no way to let it go.

The old lady spit on the young man's feet: "Don't tell me so much. Although it's not fun to talk about the water thrown by the married daughter these days. But it's really about the relationship. There are so many elders in the Chen family. Here, my dear, it will never be your turn for a son-in-law with a foreign surname to ask for an explanation."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the young man didn't feel ashamed or angry at all, and the righteousness on his face turned into a sneer in a blink of an eye: "Old lady, you are right, in terms of relationship, it is not our turn to take care of this matter. But my father-in-law’s family just disappeared, and you old folks in Hexia Village just don’t care about anything, as soon as they are buried, it’s as if nothing happened, how can you call me a son-in-law.”

Who called Chen Er's house to be completely burned down by a fire. The Chen family's house was repaired not long ago. Although it was in the countryside, Chen Er was willing to spend money on renovations. The family's savings are almost spent.So after this fire, the two daughters and son-in-law who are immediate relatives can't get any inheritance, how can this make him reconciled.

The old lady had a cold face: "What do you want?"

The young man smiled and said sternly: "I don't want to do this either, but my father-in-law's family just disappeared. As my son-in-law, I always burn some paper money and wreaths for them every year and festival. Old lady, what do you say? What about the money?"

The old aunt's face became more gloomy, and the young man simply asked and answered: "Even if the police can't find out the cause of the fire, I believe that the murderer must be Wang Shengli. Even if he can't be sent to prison, then he must pay money, me and I The brother-in-law is 50 each, not a cent less."

The old aunt had blue veins popping out of her forehead, she stared fixedly at him: "You're extorting—"

"Yes," the young man didn't mean to argue at all, "it's blackmail, don't get angry, if Wang Shengli gives the money honestly, this matter will be exposed like this, and I, Wang Zhuang, will never set foot on it again. Take a step into Hexia Village. If not—”

He pointed to the tourists who came around in twos and threes not far away: "I'll spread the news about your Hexia Village, and see who will come to your village's farmhouse for fun."

The reason why Wang Shengli was killed was not because the Wang family was rich.Wang Shengli's wife is an expert at raising snakes. He himself used to be a help cook in a big restaurant in the city and learned a good cooking skill.Their family opened a restaurant in the village with a snake banquet as its signature, and the business is very good. Now it is one of the richest families in Hexia Village.In addition, their family also sells finished snakes to hotels in the city, and it is said that they can earn more than one million yuan a year.

It is precisely because of this that the villagers of Hexia Village, who originally had a heart of compassion for Wang Shengli, suddenly felt unbalanced. On the surface, there was nothing wrong with it. Anyway, when Wang Zhuang came to Hexia Village to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year, he often listened to the Chen family. Secretly poking Wang Shengli's spine, how cruel and ruthless those words are, the three sentences cannot be separated from why he didn't kill this little bastard back then, he deserves Wang Shengli to have no children and grandchildren now...

The Chen family seemed to wish Wang Shengli would be unlucky, so it would be much easier for him to blackmail Wang Shengli.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand, a little high-spirited, "Old lady, that's all for today. I won't disturb your business, you think about it, we'll come back tomorrow..."

As he said that, he led people out of the crowd, some of them yelled and got into the van, and the other got on the motorcycle, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye.

A middle-aged man hurried over, walked up to the old aunt, and whispered: "Auntie, the old god said, let's not interfere in this matter. Also, here is a distinguished guest. I heard it is from the capital."

Hearing the latter sentence, the old lady immediately smiled, "Hello, honored guest, hello, honored guest."

This means that Hexia Village can make a good fortune again.

Just thinking of Wang Shengli's family in front of her, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared.

Well, since the old god told them not to intervene, then ignore it.

She waved her hand: "All right, all right, let's go, let's go."

After saying that, she turned around and walked back. Anyway, she was taboo about this matter, and she didn't want to stay in front of Wang's house for a moment.

Instead, it was Wei Xiuluo, who stared at the middle-aged woman who was supporting Wang Shengli, with her head bowed, unable to see her expression clearly, shaking her nose with a puzzled look on her face.

Shao Yunqu frowned. Judging from the aura around the Wang family and the Wang family's courtyard, everything was normal.

Le Yang, who had already walked away, shouted at Wei Xiuluo and Wei Xiuluo who were still standing there: "Xiu Luo, let's go."

"Okay." Wei Xiuluo responded, turned to look at Shao Yun, pursed his lips and said, "Let's go."

Trotting to catch up with the old lady, Wei Xiuluo asked casually: "Little grandma, is the person supporting Wang Shengli his wife?"

"Talk about her—" the old aunt barely suppressed the joy in her heart, and sighed, "It's said that all hardships come with rewards, and the old ancestor's words are absolutely right."

"After Wang Shengli was kicked out of his house by the family who adopted him, he didn't bother him. He just carried his luggage and went to the provincial capital with the tens of dollars he had saved through hard work over the years. After two years of carrying cement on the construction site , into a restaurant to work as a vegetable cutter, he is honest and can bear hardships, he was taken in by the chef as an apprentice, and within a few years he was in charge of cooking independently."

"I heard from him that once there was a wedding banquet in a hotel. The man's family was quite good. Compared with the woman's family, it was a bit shabby. The promised 50 dowry gift, the woman would bring back 40 as a dowry. Unexpectedly, on the wedding day, the woman's family only accompanied A second-hand Alto, none of the natal family was present. The man's family was furious at the time, and he directly overturned the stall, and left with the people. The overwhelmed bride was detained by the restaurant."

"Then Wang Shengli is also really stupid. Seeing that she is such a good girl with a lost look, he somehow moved his pitiful thoughts and used most of his savings to fill in the wedding banquet money for the bride."

"I didn't expect Wang Shengli to be a blessed one. The bride saw Wang Shengli as if she was grabbing a handful of straws. She said that she must repay him. Then she fled with Wang Shengli and came back to be his daughter-in-law!"

"The husband and wife are diligent and diligent, and they are finally living a good life. There is one thing, Wang Shengli suffered too much when he was a child, and his body suffered a lot. When he was young, he couldn't see anything. Only when he was middle-aged did he realize that he was unable to give birth. When I came out, my child, my waist was sore and my legs hurt every three days, alas..."

The old lady here sighed, and the middle-aged woman over there carefully helped Wang Shengli into the house.

Wang Shengli patted her hand, "Didn't you just fall down, it's okay, don't be too nervous."

The middle-aged woman frowned: "I can't help but be nervous. Your health is not good. What should I do if you fall like this?"

Wang Shengli smiled: "How can it be so easy to break, I'm not a glass person."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help sighing and said: "Now Wang Zhuang has made it clear that he wants to blackmail me. If I give him money, then it's admitting that I killed Chen Er's family. But if I don't give it, he will make trouble." , can the villagers agree?"

The middle-aged woman rubbed his shoulders for him, lowered her eyelids, and said quietly: "I won't..."

They will never have the chance to set foot in Hexia Village again.
