I feed my beasts by farming

Chapter 4 The Keys to Success

The person who came was the village chief of Dayan Village, and also the patriarch of the Xie family lineage.Among the onlookers, there were fellow villagers who couldn't understand Zhang's way of life, and secretly invited the village chief over when they saw the trouble.

The old village chief walked tremblingly to the center of the yard with a cane, looked at the emaciated Xie Guanlan with an aggrieved expression, and then at the menacing Mrs. Zhang and Tie Zhu.He opened his mouth and said to his little grandson Shuan Bao who came with him, "Shuan Bao, go and find Daniel and Shuan Zi."

Shuan Bao responded when he heard the words, let go of his grandfather's hand and ran out of the yard quickly.

Seeing Shuan Bao running out, Xie Xing'er became a little anxious.Quietly let go of Mrs. Zhang's hand and wanted to tell Daniel and Shuanzi not to slip up.

However, before she turned around, Mrs. Zhang grabbed her hand and scolded in a low voice: "Stand up honestly, what are you doing twisting around?!"

Xie Xing'er was afraid of her old lady, but when she thought of Daniu and Shuanzi being called by Shuan Bao, they couldn't handle the matter of their partner beating Xie Guanlan, and she felt anxious to cry for a while.

Xie Guanlan pretended not to notice Xie Xinger's strangeness, and saw the old village chief coming from the house panting, went to the eaves and moved a dilapidated wooden bench.The little fox in his arms seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and began to wriggle in his arms.

When Xie Guanlan bent down, he stretched out his hand and stroked the little round head of the little fox a few times, and told him in a low voice to be honest.

Ruosheng, who was hiding in Xie Guanlan's arms, felt unusually warm.Originally, he wanted to adjust a comfortable posture for himself, but when he moved his body, he was held down by the other party and rubbed his head.Ruosheng didn't want to leave such a comfortable place, and when he heard that Xie Guanlan told him to stay well, he immediately fell silent.

Xie Guanlan moved the stool and put it behind the old village head, and supported his arm to signal the old village head to sit down.

The old village chief is over seventy years old, and his health is not as good as before.Seeing Xie Guanlan being so obedient and considerate, I sighed in my heart that such a good child has such a bad life.

"Let's not mention why the third boy was injured, but first ask how much food your family gave the third boy in the past few years?"

Before the old village head came, someone had already told him everything, and the old village head had always looked down on Boss Xie in his heart.

Boss Xie has been tyrannical and selfish in their generation since they were young, and he is not a worry-free master.When Xie Guanlan and his branch separated, the old village chief had a very bad impression of him when he saw Boss Xie who was aggressive and wanted to drive his brother out of the house naked.

However, what the old village chief didn't expect was that after the death of Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie, the elder Xie whom he had always looked down upon would take the initiative to take care of his nephew.

This incident changed his view of Boss Xie a lot, but who would have thought that the truth behind Boss Xie taking care of Xie Guanlan is this...

"Uncle, look at what you said, as much as the second child's four-acre property, the third boy will naturally be given. He is an orphan whose parents both died, can we still get along with him?"

The old village chief didn't answer Mrs. Zhang's words, but just glanced at the onlookers, and continued to ask: "Four mus of land can produce a thousand catties of grain even if there are two crops a year, right? Three boys can't eat much, There should be a lot of this thousand catties of grain left. Who went to the third boy’s room to look at it just now?”

Tie Zhu glanced sideways at his wife and Mrs. Zhang, stood up with a resentful expression, shook his head and replied, "No, I didn't find it." After finishing speaking, Tie Zhu remembered the half bag of cornmeal, and quickly changed his words: "It's not that there are none, there are still half a bag of cornmeal and sweet potatoes at home."

Hearing this, the old village chief couldn't help but sneered.He didn't even look at the people on the left, but turned his head to look at Xie Guanlan at the side, and said with a smile: "Third boy, your stomach is really big enough, you have eaten up a thousand catties of food?"

The sarcasm in the old village chief's words could not be heard by those present.Mrs. Zhang's face turned ashen, and she wished she could throw her sleeves and leave immediately.It's just that the old village head has high morals and is an elder in the clan. If he just leaves like this, don't expect anyone to come forward to lend a hand to her family's weddings and weddings in the future.

Before Xie Guanlan could answer, a burly man suddenly squeezed out from behind the crowd, Xie Guanlan looked intently, it was the boss Xie Yunzhi who came out last night.

Seeing Xie Yunzhi's arrival, he looked blankly at the old village chief and the surrounding villagers, pretending to be puzzled and asked, "Uncle, what's the matter? What are you guys doing at San Xiaozi's house?"

The old village chief looked at Xie Yunzhi who was pretending, and didn't want to talk nonsense with him.He asked straight to the point: "Boss, be honest, how much food did your family send to the third boy?"

Hearing this, Xie Yunzhi's eyes flashed, and then he smiled and said: "I didn't give too much. The third boy has big holes and small eyes in the house. I'm afraid that the food that leaked from the rain and snow that day will not be easy to store. I first pulled a few bags of sweet potatoes and Let him eat the food first, and then go to our house to get it after eating. If the uncle doesn't believe it, you can ask the third boy if I told him so."

Saying that, Xie Yunzhi turned his head to look at Xie Guanlan, with threats in his eyes.

Seeing Xie Yunzhi's expression, Xie Guanlan couldn't help sneering inwardly, sighing inwardly that this person could act better than himself.

However, since he has made up his mind to get back the four mu of land, he cannot give up halfway.However, if the original owner was in this situation today, he would definitely be frightened by Xie Yunzhi, but the weak and deceitful Xie Guanlan had already disappeared, and at this time he was naturally not afraid of Xie Yunzhi's tricks.

"Third boy, is what your uncle said true?"

Listening to the old village chief's question, Xie Guanlan bit his lower lip and shook his head invisibly.He replied in a voice like a mosquito: "No, it's not. Xing'er sent me four bags of sweet potatoes, and nothing else. Xing'er also called me a dead ghost, saying that if I dared to ask for food from their family, I would let them go." Daniu and Shuanzi beat me to death. The wound on my head was caused by Xing'er asking them to beat me."

After finishing speaking, Xie Guanlan's tears that had been brewing for a long time finally flowed down his eyes, and he looked up at the old village head with a firm expression, and said, "Grandpa, I have really grown up. Acres of land, I can really be busy."

The old village chief looked at the half-grown child who was yellow and thin, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.Before he could speak, Xie Yunzhi grabbed Xie Guanlan's lapel and cursed angrily: "Third boy, we will provide you with good food and drink, I didn't expect you to be a white-eyed wolf! You It’s fine to accuse me, but the injury on your head was obviously caused by you playing for fun, yet you still accuse Xing’er, do you still have a conscience?!”

Seeing this, Xie Guanlan immediately cried out in shock and squatted down with her head in her arms. Her thin body kept trembling, and she begged for mercy: "Uncle, I was wrong, don't hit me again. I'm talking nonsense, I'm talking nonsense Yes, I don’t want it anymore, I don’t want my parents’ land anymore, so don’t beat me.”

Ruosheng in Xie Guanlan's arms was squeezed a little uncomfortable by Xie Guanlan's squatting action, and when he heard Xie Guanlan's terrified cry, he immediately struggled and wanted to crawl out.However, before he could crawl out, he was pushed back by a hand.

Seeing this, the old village chief and several uncles of the Xie family who were watching hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Xie Yunzhi away.The old village head shielded Xie Guanlan, who was pale with fright, behind him, and asked Xie Zhiyun sharply, "Boss, what are you doing? Don't say I'm still alive, even if I close my eyes, if Xie's family is still alive If there is only one person around, you will never be allowed to touch the third boy!"

Seeing Xie Zhiyun's actions, the old village chief also understood that Xie Guanlan had suffered under the boss Xie's family all these years.Previously, Xie Guanlan was too timid to speak out, and he couldn't take the initiative to ask, so as not to make people feel that he was treating a gentleman with a villain's heart.

Now that Boss Xie is actually attacking Xie Guanlan under the watchful eyes of everyone, he may be secretly figuring out how to abuse him.

In the commotion, Shuan Bao also came with Daniu and Shuan Zi.Seeing Xie Guanlan who was crying with snot and tears, and Xie Xing'er winking at the side, Daniel and Shuanzi thought that everyone was teaching Xie Guanlan a lesson, so they ran over excitedly.

Daniel wanted to show off in front of Xie Xing'er and didn't notice the strange expression on the adult's face. He stepped forward to kick Xie Guanlan, and cursed: "It seems that I didn't beat you enough last time. If you dare to provoke me Sister Xing'er, I want your life."

Hearing what Daniu said, Tie Zhu and his wife on the side wanted to slap their brainless brat to death.He stepped forward and grabbed Daniel's arm, and before he could speak, the old village chief's crutch immediately greeted Daniel's back.

"Our old Xie's family is not dead yet, so when it's your turn to come here with the surname Li to show your teeth and claws, your parents and I haven't spoken, who are you bastards?"

Daniu screamed and screamed at the old village head's crutches, and kept hiding behind his parents.

Xie Xing'er on the side looked at the old village chief who was protecting Xie Guanlan so much, worried that she would be exposed that she had instigated Daniel and Shuanzi to beat Xie Guanlan, and she would not escape a severe beating, so frightened, she sobbed softly beside her.

After all, the old village chief was old, and after a few hits, he finally lost his strength.Panting and leaning on a cane, looking at Xie Yunzhi with a livid face, he pointed to his nose and ordered: "After the new year, you immediately return the four acres of land that the third boy has. In addition, tomorrow I will take another bag of land. White flour, a sack of rice, and a copper coin should be sent to me. If you dare to miss a word, don’t blame me for being ungrateful.”

Seeing that Mr. Xie was still standing still with a gloomy expression, the old village head scolded: "What are you doing here? Why don't you get out of here. I don't know what evil our old Xie family has done, why did you come out like this?" A man with a vicious mind."

Amidst the old village chief's scolding, Xie Yunzhi glanced at Xie Guanlan, saw that the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, and the hatred in his heart became stronger. He greeted Mrs. Zhang and Xie Xing'er in a deep voice, turned around and walked out of Xie Guanlan without looking back. yard.

After Xie Yunzhi left, Xie Guanlan sniffed and said to the slightly panting old village chief, "Thank you, Grandpa, for helping me decide."

The old village head glared at Xie Guanlan with hatred, and scolded: "Your father has been a temper tantrum since he was a child, how did you give birth to such a coward! You dare not say anything after being bullied like this. You deserve it for so many years!" Wronged." After that, the old village head was about to walk out on crutches, but thinking of Xie Guanlan's pitiful appearance, he still gave a word of reassurance.

"In the future, if your uncle dares to embarrass you again, he can go to my house to find me, or you can find Uncle Yunchong."

As soon as the old village head left, the crowd of onlookers dispersed.Xie Guanlan pulled out the little fox who had been stuffy for a long time, poked his little nose with his hand, and said happily: "Oh, it's worth my hard work to play such a scene, and I finally got the land back. I earned a bag of white flour and rice for nothing, and tomorrow I will let you follow suit and improve the food."

Ruosheng didn't quite understand what Xie Guanlan said, seeing that the yard was empty without those 'beasts with two legs', he kissed Xie Guanlan's palm affectionately with his little head.
