Chapter 3

For the villagers, the most important thing is the land, the land is the foundation of their foothold, Gu Sanniang used to think so, at that time she worked in the county, from morning to night, she couldn't rest for a few days all year round, the most she thought about was to earn money to buy land, and when her family had a field, she quit her job and went back, and Wang Yinsuo guarded the field to live a good life.

There are many people and little land in Niutoutun, it's not really no way, ordinary people will not sell their fields when they are idle, Gu Sanniang and Wang Yinsuo waited for several years, and they bought two or three acres of land, and then Wang Yinsuo went to open up the wasteland by himself, and finally paid the tax and silver, and planted the land again, but he died without thinking about it.

Now, Lao Li is giving two ideas to the Wang brothers to choose, this Wang Jinsuo and Wang Tiesuo do not want to return the land, and do not want to give money, if it is not for Lao Li is to meddle in things, this big advantage must be taken, for a while, the two brothers simply hated Lao Lizheng.

Seeing Wang Jinsuo and Wang Tiesuo clearly not wanting to take the money out, Gu Sanniang couldn't help but be anxious and angry, what kind of blood mold did she pour and marry into such a family, when she first entered the door, the three brothers still lived with their in-laws, the two concubines were cheating and playing tricks, thinking about pulling things into their own house every day, but she was not liked by her in-laws because she was thrifty and honest, and then she saved some money by doing work in the county, this Wang brother tried all her tricks to borrow money from his house, or she went to the door to make trouble a few times, and they finally stopped a little, Later, when the two families saw that they couldn't get any benefits, they always provoked the relationship between the two of them in front of Wang Yinsuo, if it weren't for Gu Sanniang's toughness, she would have been unable to do her work in the county town for a long time.

Today, the person Gu Sanniang hates the most is Wang Yinsuo, hates him for having such a group of ruthless family members, and hates him even more for going early, leaving their orphans and widows to be bullied.

After making trouble for so long a day, the sun has already risen high, and Lao Lizheng has no time to grind with them anymore, he looked at Gu Sanniang and her father-in-law, and said directly: "I see that the two brothers of Jinsuo don't want to take the money out, and I will call the boss of my family to come over later, and the title deed should be returned, so as to save people from talking!" ”

Gu Sanniang and her father-in-law hurriedly glared at the two sons, then turned their heads to Lao Lizheng and said with a smile: "Third uncle, didn't the second daughter-in-law say that she wanted money, the title deed has passed, so don't trouble the rich brothers." ”

According to him, it is natural that the field is more realistic, and the silver money will be used up one day, but the land can be passed down from generation to generation, and besides, it is not up to them to decide how much the field will give at that time.

Lao Li squinted at him: "Is this the decision to ask for the land?" ”

Wang Jinsuo and Wang Tiesuo nodded hurriedly, they are not stupid, Lao Li is determined to stand up for the Gu family today, no matter how much he has to sell the face of this old immortal, you must know that living in this tunzi, no one can offend the Li Zheng family, who calls the position of the family is the grandson of the master.

Gu Sanniang also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, those fields were all earned by her and Wang Yinsuo, so she gave Wang Jinsuo and Wang Tiesuo for nothing, she must be reluctant, but Wang Yinsuo went, there was no man in the family to set up a household, even if the land was snatched back, the Wang family could not tolerate their mother and daughter, rather than this, it was better to take the money, she took her daughter to the county to beg for a living, with her craftsmanship, no matter how she starved to death.

"You thought about it too?" Lao Li was turning his head to look at Gu Sanniang.

Gu Sanniang wiped a handful of tears, and she said, "It's all up to the third uncle." ”

Lao Li Zheng saw that both sides were relieved, so he nodded slightly, he looked at Wang Jinsuo and the two brothers, and said: "If I remember correctly, Yinsuo's family has two acres of land near Xiawan, three acres of land in Shanghe Village, and seven acres of land in Houshan, how much silver are you planning to exchange for the Gu family?" ”

Seeing that Lao Li was going to watch them take out the silver with their own eyes, the brothers secretly pulled out the eighteenth generation of his ancestors and scolded him, thinking of taking the money out, Wang Jinsuo couldn't stop the pain, and his expression was naturally a little stiff, he said: "Third master, I'm afraid you don't know, although the acres of Xiawan and Shanghe are paddy fields, but the second brother will not serve, a few acres of fields are getting thinner and thinner, at most they will be counted according to the waiting fields, as for those few acres of mountainous land, it has only been opened for a few years, it is estimated that there is no harvest, and there is no waste of grain planting." ”

Gu Sanniang can't listen to it anymore, her Wang Yinsuo can't do anything else, she is the best at farming, the fields at home are like flowers by him, she has been working in the county for many years, but every spring and autumn harvest will go home to help, and she still knows the harvest of those few acres of fields.

"Wang Jinsuo, are you ashamed to open your mouth to talk nonsense? The third master has been dealing with the land all his life, why don't we invite his old man to see what my field is like? ”

Wang Jinsuo stiffened his neck, and he scolded: "You are a woman, do you know what farming is? The fields in Xiawan and Shanghe are far away from the river, and they can't even receive water during spring ploughing. ”

"My acres of fields are all connected together, what is not good for receiving water, if it is not good for receiving water, where did the grain you carried from my house come from?"

Speaking of this, the more Gu Sanniang spoke, the more angry she became, she pointed at Wang Jinsuo and scolded: "Today, in front of the third uncle, not only these fields, but also the silver money taken from my family, the grain carried away and the chickens and ducks caught must be returned." ”

Lao Li was frowning, he glanced at Gu Sanniang, coughed heavily, Gu Sanniang's words endured and endured, and finally didn't say any more.

This time, Lao Li is coming to administer justice to Gu Sanniang, in fact, there is another reason, Wang Yinsuo's title deed is that his eldest family received the benefits of Gu Sanniang's father-in-law, and privately gave it to the Wang brothers, although he didn't put Gu Sanniang in his eyes as a woman's family, but this matter was really not kind, and it was not good to say that it would not sound good if someone died, so he came over in person.

However, in Lao Lizheng's opinion, Gu Sanniang is an outsider in the end, this Wang brother is a bastard, and after all, the surname is Wang, so Lao Lizheng's heart is still biased towards the surname Wang, besides, he helped Gu Sanniang ask for some silver money back, which can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness.

"There are contracts for these fields, and the money you said is not a certificate, so I can't be the master." Lao Li is saying.

After listening to Lao Lizheng's words, Gu Sanniang was like being struck by lightning, Wang Jinsuo and Wang Yinsuo emptied her house in the sky, how can it be said that there is no certificate?

Gu Sanniang's father-in-law didn't speak for most of the day, he said with a calm face: "Gu's, the second child's fields have all said that they will be converted into silver coins for you, what do you want to do?" ”

Gu Sanniang wanted to cry without tears, she thought that Lao Li was here to administer justice to her, but she didn't expect that this would be the result in the end.

Lao Li was looking at her and said, "Gu, this was originally your family matter, and I also advise you to take a step back, don't lose the benefits to the end." ”

He means that he is in charge of things here, if Gu Sanniang doesn't know what to do, he can't help her.

Of course, Gu Sanniang also heard the meaning of Lao Lizheng's words, she stared straight at her eyes, and was speechless for a long time, originally this field was hers's, Wang Jinsuo and the brothers robbed her family's land, today they want to use her family's money to buy her family's land, and the price is still pressed to death, I thought that Lao Li was a fair person, but I didn't expect him to be still for the Wang family in his heart, Gu Sanniang suddenly felt that there was no place to reason in this world.

Seeing Gu Sanniang's stunned appearance, Wang Jinsuo showed a smug look on his face, and he said: "I have dozens of dollars here, you can get out of here quickly, and if you step back to Niutoutun half a step in the future, your legs will be discounted." ”

Lao Lizheng glared at him and said in a deep voice: "Golden lock boy, don't overdo it." ”

Wang Jinsuo pursed the corners of his mouth and did not speak.

Gu Sanniang was already disheartened, she took a look at the people in the courtyard, these people were all surnamed Wang, as far as she was a foreigner, who else could she fight for?

Xiao Yezi looked at the demented eyes with tears in her eyes, she grabbed her sleeve tightly and shouted, "Mother." ”

I don't know how long it took: Gu Sanniang came back to her senses, she said: "I listened to the words of the third uncle, and the third uncle said whatever he wanted." ”

Lao Lizheng nodded twice, thinking that this Gu family was still a good looker.

After a while, Gu Sanniang, her mother-in-law and two concubines were called in, and when she heard that she was going to give money to Gu Sanniang, her mother-in-law sat on the ground, patted her thigh and said: "The little prostitute who killed God killed my son, and she has to take my son's money to raise a man, God doesn't open his eyes, why can't he come down and kill the little prostitute with a thunderbolt!" ”

Gu Sanniang and her mother-in-law were crying and making trouble, so angry that Lao Li was twitching her eyebrows, why? Because he came up with the idea! This old woman clearly refers to Sang scolding Huai.

Gu Sanniang and her father-in-law quietly glared at their old woman and said, "If you want to go back to the funeral, ask the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law to calculate the money." ”

Gu Sanniang and her mother-in-law were about to reply, but when they saw Lao Lizheng's face was gloomy, she was about to howl out a long list of words and held back.

At this point, Gu Sanniang didn't have the heart to mess with them again, and it didn't take long for Wang Jinsuo's family and Wang Tiesuo's family to bring silver money, and a few acres of land were counted according to the waiting fields, and the mountains were equivalent to giving away for nothing.

Holding the two taels of silver in her hand, Gu Sanniang gritted her teeth, she really wanted to throw the money in the face of the family, but when she saw the girl Xiao Yezi next to her, she had to force herself to swallow this evil breath, one day, how much they owed her, they had to pay her back.
