Little wealth

Sihe Village is a small village with mixed surnames. The villagers living here are all people who fled from other places in the past. More and more people gathered in this place, and gradually a village was formed in this area.In the village, the four surnames Zhao, Chen, Wang and Li are the most, and there are some other minor surnames. Generally, these minor surnames are people who came to the village later to settle down.

There are mountains on both sides of the northwest of the village, rivers pass by on the south, and the road leading to the town from the east. There are some other small villages nearby, and there are intermarriages and contacts between the villages.There are fields all around, and most people in the village make a living by farming.

A big yellow dog led the way, and they walked behind.

At a glance, the village is full of low mud houses and criss-cross paths.These houses are all built with mud bricks and thatch. There are almost no large tile houses with blue bricks. Most people live in poverty.

This is the first time Josh has stepped out of the house since he woke up. His understanding of this village comes from the memory left by his original body, and his most intuitive impression of this village is that it looks very poor and backward. Compared with some mountainous villages he had visited, I am afraid that they are not much better.

The families in their village who can live in green brick and large tile houses can be counted with one hand, and those who can live in green brick and tile houses are living a better life.Among the few families that could be counted, the Qiao family was one of them, which was the original family's natal family.

When their family of three came here, the original E'Mu used his money to buy more than ten acres of land and built a few green brick and tile houses.If the original body, Mu, hadn't passed away early, maybe the original body was going to another life, and there was nothing wrong with him, the later person.

It's just that after the death of the original Eminem, Qiao's father remarried and gave birth to two more sons with his step-wife. The land and house title deeds of the family were held by Qiao's father, and these things will also be left to his two sons in the future. This son has nothing to do with his married brother.

The reason is that in this era, brothers, like women, do not have the right to inherit family property. A married brother is like poured water. In the future, those houses and fields will be the two sons born by his father and his stepmother. It is difficult for a married brother to obtain property from his natal family.

Unless someone can stand up and prove that those things originally belonged to his mother, he can get the inheritance right.But in the original body, Ah Mu has passed away, and Qiao's father remarries and has two sons. Unless Qiao's father is crazy, he will give these things to a married brother for nothing, instead of leaving them to his two sons.

The dead original body himself never thought about fighting for the things that should belong to him, even his own marriage was sold by the little stepmother for six taels of silver!

You must know that in their place, many families in the village may not be able to save two taels of silver after a year of hard work, and two taels of silver is enough for a family of several people to live a good life.

That's why Yuanchen's little stepmother offered a high betrothal gift of six taels, which made so many men who admired Yuanchen feel timid.What's more, brothers are more difficult to raise than women. If it weren't for people with no money, who would be willing to let their sons marry a brother as a wife? More people are willing to spend a little more money for their sons to marry a woman to go home and have children , Pass down the lineage.

Josh wondered whether Carpenter Zhao's mind was kicked by a donkey in the first place, so he was willing to spend the six taels of unjust money to marry such a big Buddha and take it home as an offering.

Hey~ If they had six taels of silver at home, he wouldn't have to worry about money all day long now.But if their family had six taels of silver, it would have been spent by the original body long ago, and it wouldn't fall into his hands... Thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable.

Thinking about the existing houses and fields of the Qiao family, which should have belonged to the original body, but now they have nothing to do with him at all, he felt a little reconciled.But it's almost impossible to get something out of his little stepmother's hand, so he'd better not think about it for the time being.

Instead of thinking of ways to fight for that bit of family property, it's better to think of ways to make more money and be more realistic.

After a few days of rain, the country roads are full of mud, and there is still water in some low-lying places. If you step on it accidentally, your shoes will be soaked.

As soon as he left the house, the child broke free from his hand and ran ahead one by one.

Josh was afraid that the child would accidentally fall into the puddle, so he could only chase after him and shout, "Niannian, don't run so fast, be careful not to step on the water."

It's just that as soon as the child left the house, he ran forward like a bird in the air, and couldn't shout at anyone.

Even with two short legs, how could they run so fast!

Josh felt very helpless in his heart, he could only run two quick steps before he caught the child, picked him up and hugged him, "I'll catch you!"

"Giggle, Eminem, let it go~" Xiaowaer giggled while struggling to get down and walk by herself.

"Then you have to promise me, don't run away." Josh had no choice but to put the child down, took the child's little hand with one hand, and said, "Let's walk slowly, you run so fast, you will have to run away in a while." Tired from running. You will be tired from running in a while, and I won't carry you on my back."

The little boy pointed at Ah Huang, and said with a smile, "Ah Huang."

"... Ah Huang can't afford you!" This brat dares to think about anything!Still want a dog to carry him away, dream about you!Josh was almost laughed out of anger, and he didn't let go of the child's hand, holding the child and continuing to walk forward.

"Heck... Emm..." Xiao Wa'er reached out to touch Ah Huang, and Ah Huang stood obediently for the little master to touch.

"Go your way, don't touch Ah Huang. Don't laugh, and be careful that you will get angry when you laugh." This child was laughing all day long, as if someone had tapped his acupoint for laughing. Others sold it for money and even helped to count the money, hey~ worry from the old father!

When I met people from the village on the road, they just glanced at him and didn't say hello to him.

The original body does not have a good relationship with the people in the village, even if they meet, they don't know how to greet them.

In fact, this matter is still to be blamed on Yuanshen. In the past, Yuanshen always had eyes on the top of his head, looked down on anyone, and never took the initiative to talk to people in the village, and even someone took the initiative to talk to him Yes, he didn't respond, and deliberately turned his face away as if he didn't hear.

So after one or two times, people in the village don't greet such people anymore.

Josh wanted to take the initiative to say hello to the villagers, but when he saw the past, the others turned away and pretended not to see him, "..." Sure enough, it was retribution!

It is very difficult to change other people's fixed views and ideas about a person.Even if he wants to improve the relationship with the people in the village now, it is not something that can be done in a short while. There is no rush for this kind of thing, so he can only do it slowly.

He wants to live in this place in the future, and everyone will see him up and down, and he doesn't want to make the relationship with the people in the village so rigid, he should find a way to get along with everyone better.

There is not a saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If you have a good relationship with your neighbors, you can ask your neighbors to look after your house when you go out occasionally, but if you have a bad relationship with others, no one will pay attention to you.

I didn't expect to meet a familiar face on the road. The other party seemed to hesitate when seeing him, and then walked towards him, looked at him and asked, "Brother Qiao, are you in good health?"

A name flashed through his mind, and Josh remembered who this person was. He smiled and said to the other party: "Brother Yan, I'm in good health and I'm fine. Thank you for saving me that day. I will personally thank you. If it weren't for you, my little life might be gone."

The original body fell into the water, it was this brother who saved the original body and carried the original body back home.But it is a pity that the original body is still gone, so the one who lives now is him from another world.

Josh didn't forget to ask his son to call someone, he bowed his head and said to his son, "Nian Nian, call me brother."

"Brother." Xiao Wa'er smiled at people with her head up. She had a very cute face and a pair of big eyes that seemed to be able to talk.

Chen Yan looked at the little boy who was not tall enough for his legs, and his expression softened a little, but that was fleeting.When facing Josh, he returned to his original expressionless face and said, "It's fine that you have nothing to do."

"Hehe, yes, I'm fine. I originally wanted to go to your house to thank you, but I was a little unwell a few days ago, and I've gotten better these days, and it's been raining again, so I couldn't go out .” Josh’s words were also true.

After waking up, he asked Carpenter Zhao who saved him. At that time, Carpenter Zhao said Chen Yan's name, and he remembered it.Originally, he was thinking of buying some gifts and going to someone else's house to say thank you after the rain stopped, but he didn't expect that the rain kept falling and they never went out, so the matter of thanking him has been delayed until now.

He didn't expect to meet his savior on the road as soon as he went out today.

When the two stood together, he realized that the other was half a head taller than him, and he raised his head slightly when talking to the other.

Josh estimates that his current height is about 1.7 meters, and the opponent is so much taller than him, probably close to 1.8 meters in height.Chen Yan's height is considered very tall among his brothers, even taller than ordinary men.

But he remembered that this brother seemed to be over eighteen, so he hasn't been engaged yet, right?

They are considered very old here. Generally, people here start talking about marriage at the age of thirteen or fourteen, get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and seldom exceed the age of 18 at the latest.Therefore, it is easy for a brother who has not said anything about his relationship to be gossiped in the village.
