Walking under the eaves, Li Zhengyi suddenly found that there seemed to be no one at home, a small iron lock hung on the old wooden door, and the whole room was quiet and silent.

This shouldn't be, Li Zhengyi thought to himself, his father had a disease in his right leg and couldn't do heavy work, so he usually stayed at home on weekdays to help his mother clean up the recovered waste. What's more, it is still raining today, and my father is even less likely to go somewhere else.

"Daddy...... Mom......" Li Zhengyi stood under the porch and shouted several times, but did not respond.

When he was scratching his head, a voice sounded behind Leng Buding and said, "The descendants of the Li family?"

Housheng is the name given to young men by the locals, especially the older generation, who prefer to refer to any unfamiliar young men they meet.

As soon as Li Zheng turned around, he saw an old farmer wearing a hat walking on the ground, and he was vaguely impressed, but he couldn't name it, so he had to say vaguely: "Hello." ”

The old farmer approached, stood outside the eaves and said, "Housheng, your parents are at your uncle's house, you should go quickly." ”

"Okay, thanks. Li Zheng thanked him and muttered to himself with a puzzled face: "Uncle's house, why did you go there?"

The old farmer's ears were sharp, and when he heard Li Zhengyi's self-talk, he looked at him strangely and said, "Your grandfather passed away and was funeral today, you won't know it, right?"

Li Zheng's head buzzed, making him dizzy like a thunderbolt. A voice shouted wildly in his head: "This is impossible, it is simply impossible, my grandfather passed away in my previous life, and after I was imprisoned, I was angry and caused a cerebral hemorrhage, and I died in time." In this life, why did he die early without warning? In this life, he had just been reborn, and he had every chance to change the situation in his previous life, so that his grandfather and parents would not have accidents one after another after he was imprisoned. ”

Li Zhengyi walked into the rain like a lost soul, completely ignoring the shouts of the old peasants behind him, relying on instinct and memory, and rushed to the uncle's house step by step.

Li Zhengyi's grandfather has two sons and one daughter, Li's father Li Liangping ranks second, Li Zhengyi's uncle Li Liangyou, and his aunt Li Yulan. Uncle Li Liangyou married earlier than Li's father, but the first child was a daughter, and the second son was many years apart. Li's father has a disease in his right leg, walks a little lame, and is often disliked by the girl on a blind date, so he gets married late. At the age of thirty, Li's mother, who was born in a ravine, took a fancy to him, so he started a family and had Li Zhengyi.

According to the official genealogy, Li Zhengyi is the eldest grandson, and it is also the reason why Li Zhengyi's grandfather loves him, but unfortunately Li Zhengyi is not angry.

rushed to his uncle's house, Li Zhengyi had to believe that all this was true, and his grandfather passed away early in this life on the premise that he was not imprisoned.

There is a temporary shed on the flat outside the uncle's house, which is filled with wreaths, cash trees, gold and silver mountains and various paper memorial objects sent by relatives, friends, neighbors and acquaintances. On the wall outside the house, there are white flags with or without words, and there are white and black characters on the side of the door frame, and the yellow incense and white candles in the lobby are complete, and the Taoist priests who do things are standing or sitting, and they are busy preparing to burn paper money and things after the funeral.

Li Zhengyi knew that he did not catch up with the final funeral, and the custom here is that the funeral must first see the auspicious time, and then send the funeral up the mountain before the auspicious time, commonly known as rushing the hour. After the funeral, it is the last step, to burn a bunch of paper money and paper objects for the deceased to be filial to their relatives and friends.

Neighbors or relatives and friends who knew Li Zhengyi outside the house, when they saw him come back, they only silently said hello and went about their own business. As soon as Li Zheng walked into the main hall, before he got close to the side room, he heard a sharp voice from the side room, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that it was his aunt Li Yulan's snarky tone.

Aunt Li Yulan has sharp teeth since she was a child, and she has been at odds with Li's father since she was a child, and after getting married, because her husband's family is rich, she looks down on her disabled second brother even more. On weekdays, as long as he gets the opportunity, he sneers at Father Li, and there is no relationship between brother and sister at all.

This time Li Zhengyi did not come back for the funeral, Li Yulan's mean face never stopped mocking, Li's father and mother knew that they were at a loss, so they could only hold back.

Li Yulan scolded and said: "Second brother, it's not that we are willing to talk about you, your little cub is not filial, although his father died suddenly, but there were four days in total." The eldest brother's Dan'er is far away in Changshui, and he rushed home overnight, even if your little cub is far away, he won't even be able to catch up with the funeral. In my opinion, I'm afraid that he is fooling around outside and not wanting to go home, and in his heart, there is no concept of family affection at all. ”

In the partial house, Li Zhengyi's uncle, aunt, father, mother, uncle and aunt are all there, and only the eldest uncle's daughter Li Dan is in the younger generation. Several people were sitting, only Li Yulan stood in the center of the room, stretched out her hand and pointed at Li's father and said loudly.

Father Li sat on the bench by the wall without humming a dry cigarette, letting Li Yulan scold, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed the excitement in his heart. Mother Li was next to Li's father, and when she saw that Li Yulan was talking more and more, she couldn't help but refute, but it provoked Li Yulan's louder reprimand.

Li Yulan saw that Li's mother seemed to be angry, and said bitterly: "It is said that it is not the fault of raising a godfather, but in your family, your responsibility is greater, and you are a slut who has pampered him since he was a child, and taught such an unfilial beast." ”

This annoyed Father Li, who had not spoken all the time, and he said with a calm face: "Li Yulan, you say that I will forget it, so talk about your sister-in-law, don't go too far." ”

Li Yulan screamed like a cat with its tail stepped on: "What's wrong with what I said? Shouldn't I say it? Li Liangping, don't say that she is just my second sister-in-law, even if she is the king of heaven, I dare to scold, you family of three, do you have a good thing? Without you as an example, how could you teach such a second-rate brute who is not filial and lowly?"

Father Li stood up suddenly, roared with red eyes: "You dare to say it again." ”

Ben was sitting next to the uncle who was smoking in a muffled voice, and when he saw that the two were making a big fuss, they hurriedly stood up and persuaded him. Uncle Li grabbed Li's father and shouted to Li Yulan: "Yulan don't say a word." ”

Li Yulan was startled by Li's father's roar, and when she saw him being stopped, she shouted again: "I just said, what can you do? Who are you trying to scare so loudly? Do you dare to hit me?"

Father Li roared: "If you dare to scold the slut again, try it, if you dare to scold again, I will dare to hammer your teeth." ”

Li Yulan was even more stunned, so she waited to scold again, at this time Li Zhengyi's uncle Song Feizhang came up, stood beside Li Yulan, and said to Li's father: "Don't say that you want to beat people at every turn, Yulan is not wrong, your little cub is indeed not a thing, he is idle all day long, like a ruffian and a hooligan, he deserves to be scolded." If you don't accept it, go back and discipline it. If you dare to say cruel words, don't blame me for not reminding you, you are an old man of half a hundred, even if it is the second brother of Yulan, I will not make a mistake. ”

"You ......"

At this time, not only Father Li was furious, but even the uncle's family next to him showed displeasure. Li Yulan made a fuss just now, at least it was still the Li family that was making trouble, you are an aunt, with a foreign surname, and you dare to speak so arrogantly, isn't this mocking and hate?

Uncle Li is waiting to speak, in this family, after all, he is the master, and he is also responsible for making too much trouble.

At this moment, a faint voice came from the door and said, "If you dare to touch my father's hair here, I will let you not get out of Lijia Village today." ”

Several people in the house heard the voice, but saw Li Zhengyi, a boy from the Li family who had not been able to be contacted, standing at the door, staring at Song Feizhang expressionlessly, and speaking in a very light tone.

Mother Li was the first to react, and when she saw her son coming back, tears burst out of her eyes, and she greeted her and said, "Zheng'er, where have you been? Why haven't you come home for so long? Do you know, your grandfather...... Your grandfather he ...... I went by accident. ”

Li Zhengyi woke up from the shock of hearing the bad news at the beginning, he had been listening at the door, he didn't plan to come in, but he saw that his aunt's family was talking more and more, and finally he couldn't hold back, so he took Song Feizhang's threat out loud.

Now is not the time to be sad, relatives and friends outside are watching the farce in the side house, Li Zhengyi walked up to his father and shouted, but saw that Li's father had a calm face. He didn't care, turned around, faced his uncle Seinfeld, and said in a very light tone: "Did you say that you want to take the same picture of my father?"

Song Feizhang was afraid of this hairy boy who had always looked down on him, and sneered: "Didn't you hear your father's threat? If he dares to beat my wife, I will dare to beat him." ”

Li Zheng glanced at his aunt who was standing behind Song Feizhang and said, "Are those words before that she should say as a younger sister? The elders and young are orderly and respectful, and the grandfather has just left, have you begun to be lawless and undisciplined? When your relatives do this part, you can be regarded as having done your best in love." ”

When Li Yulan heard this, she began to scream again: "Where am I not discriminate? You are unethical and have no filial piety, shouldn't I scold you?"

Seinfeld then said: "You are at fault first, you are fooling around outside in disregard of filial piety, and you don't even rush back from your grandfather's funeral and filial piety, so what if you say a few words?

Li Zhengyi tilted his head and said, "Seeing that you are now vigorously saying that I have no filial piety, and I don't mention anything else, so I don't plan to admit it if you scolded and threatened just now?"

Uncle Li saw that things were getting worse and worse, so he hurriedly persuaded Li Liangping first, let him restrain himself, and control his son. At the same time, she glanced at her daughter and mother-in-law, and Aunt Li closed the door to prevent things from going too far and being laughed at. Li Dan walked to Li Zhengyi's side from behind and said to him: "Zhengyi, today is the day of grandpa's funeral, everything will wait until the paper money and paper are burned, don't make too much trouble, let other families see the excitement." ”

Li Zhengyi took a step back, stood beside Li's mother and said, "Okay, for the sake of the uncle's family, you say that I have no filial piety, I admit it." You call me a brute, and I admit it. But if you call my mother and threaten my father, this will not work, and you must apologize. Otherwise, don't blame me for not caring about my relatives?"

The reason why Li Zhengyi spoke so sparingly to his uncle and aunt was that on the one hand, Li Yulan's rhetoric was too radical today, and on the other hand, it actually had a lot to do with his previous life.

After Li Zhengyi was sentenced to prison for intentional injury in his previous life, the Li family not only carried a heavy economic burden, but also the scolding of others and his sister. Li's mother was crushed by debts, physically and mentally injured, and in less than two years, she was seriously ill and died of regret. Li's father was already weak, and because of another incident was stabbed in the body treatment was not timely, leaving sequelae, less than a year after Li's mother left, he was sad and the old illness relapsed, and soon died of depression.

Li's father and mother passed away, and Li Yulan's family not only didn't help, but also sneered beside them. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Li Yulan's harsh words broke Li's father's heart when Li's mother passed away, maybe Li's father wouldn't have followed Li's mother to die of depression in less than a year.

Therefore, Li Zhengyi does not have any good feelings for his aunt Li Yulan's family from top to bottom, if it weren't for the presence of Li's father and Li mother in the middle, he might have started fighting directly today, and cut off their hands and feet first.

The uncle's family was silent, obviously agreeing with Li Zhengyi's statement. Li Yulan realized at this time that what her husband said just now might have offended her eldest brother's family, and if she didn't accept it, Li Zhengyi, a second-rate son, would really dare to mess around. So I wanted to signal my husband to soften for the time being, and I would talk about it later.

However, because Seinfeld is in charge of an engineering team on weekdays, the journey has been smooth, and he has long developed the habit of being arrogant and domineering. In front of the Li family, he always thought that he was superior and had a strong sense of self-superiority, so he ignored his wife's hints at all, and said disdainfully: "If you didn't do it wrong first, how could we threaten your parents, it's not bad if I don't let you apologize, and you want us to apologize?" ”
