The Ma family, Taojuan, and Weng Changyu have turned against each other since then.

Ma Dong was angry, and went out to work hard again in the business world with the money, and no longer bought land in the village.

The sea of business is up and down, the waves are sweeping the sand, few people can guarantee that they will succeed, and the same is true for Ma Dong, who has fallen once.

But the short-term success he achieved in his first business made him unwilling, and the Savings Club and Taojuan and Weng Changyu made him angry, so he did not leave a way back for himself, and vowed to lay down the country in the business world again and return to the village in a prosperous manner.

He did everything he could for the second venture.

It's a pity that the result was unsatisfactory - the impetuous Ma Dong found an unreliable partner, and the money was cheated away before the business started.

Since then, the Ma family has declined, and then Ma Dong and his parents have left one after another. Ma Dong's only son, Ma Shousheng, married a wife and gave birth to Ma Fatun, but later because Ma Shousheng refused to go out to work to earn money, and his temper was violent, he ran away from home and was never heard from again.

The four or five generations of the Ma family have been single-handed, and today, decades later, there are only two people left in the Ma family, Ma Shousheng and Ma Fatdun.

There is no land at home, although Ma Shousheng is young and strong, he does not go to work to earn money, and the young Ma Fatdun gnaws on the old book left by the elders to live.

At present, there are three main categories of recipients of national poverty alleviation subsidies: poor households, low-income households, and five-guarantee households.

The participation criteria for poor households stipulate "eight non-evaluations", one of which is "households that are poor due to gambling, drug abuse, leisure and hard work, etc., and do not change their ways".

The assessment criteria for subsistence allowance households also clearly stipulate that "those who have normal working ability and refuse to work without justifiable reasons and cause difficulties in life, as well as those who circumvent laws (regulations) and have no financial resources and living difficulties, do not fall within the scope of rural subsistence allowance".

Five-insured households require that the insured person must be incapable of working.

Ma Shousheng has a normal ability to work, and the village cadres persuaded him many times to let him work to make a living, but he decisively refused every time and did not give a legitimate reason. In the eyes of outsiders, it is obvious that he can only be classified as a type of poverty caused by hard work. Therefore, although Ma Shousheng is very poor, he cannot be rated as a poor household, a low-income household, or a five-guarantee household, and he cannot get the national poverty alleviation subsidy.

But if Ma Shousheng likes to work hard, it's not so similar. Because in addition to not working to earn money, he is very diligent in other work, such as which family in the village has a fire, or which family's cattle have disappeared, as long as Ma Shousheng knows it, he will immediately come out to help. Of course, except for Taojuan and Weng Changyu, Ma Shousheng and the two of them have not had a good face for a day except for scolding each other or scolding.

The village cadres of Shanbei Village also can't understand Ma Shousheng's temperament, obviously he is a diligent person, his family is poor, and he has a child, why is he willing to do anything, but he refuses to work to earn money?

Secretary Gao and Director Li talked to Ma Shousheng many times, but Ma Shousheng refused to change his mind. Every time I asked him a specific reason, he was stubborn.

Later, Secretary Gao learned that Ma Shousheng's daily quarrels with Taojuan and Weng Changyu often revolved around the land sold by Ma Shousheng's father, Ma Dong, thirty years ago.

After Secretary Gao learned about this, he decided to vacate a small part of his land for Ma Shousheng, so that he could farm with peace of mind. But Ma Shousheng resolutely didn't, saying that he only wanted what should belong to him, and the implication was to hold on to the two pieces of land that Taojuan and Weng Changyu bought with Ma Dong back then.
