At noon on the sixth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Xiaoqiang and Li Aobai left the village with Zhang Yang and Zhang Chen.

The widow had passed away on the third day, and it was time for her burial. The tomb has been dug up, and the coffin will be used first with the one that Zhang Laoshi prepared for himself in advance. This time, I was distressed to death Zhou Xiangxiang.

The coffin was made of pine planks and cypress, good materials. There is no way, Zhou Congxiang's dream of being a fan of wealth is still doing.

Zhang Yongchang knew that this was the time for his daughter and son to leave, so he could only look at the road from a distance with a dull expression.

The funeral of the widow Wang was completely in accordance with the standard funeral, and Wang Xiangyang, as his own nephew, played a spirit banner and wore linen with filial piety. The only person who is really sad is her brother, who is full of tears.

After the funeral ceremony, the township party members who helped had a meal together at Lao Zhang's house, with four dishes and one soup.

It just so happened that Widow Wang's brother and sister-in-law were there, and Zhang Laoshi and Zhou Congxiang invited the village chief to divide the homestead behind Wang Daling.

Wang Xiangyang's parents resolutely disagreed, and the property belonged to Zhang Yongchang. Because the two of them have no children, the property is the pre-marital property of their own concubines.

Zhang Laoshi repeated what Zhang Yongliang said, Wang Xiangyang said: "Do you know? I found the buyer of the homestead, and I paid the deposit, five hundred, at my aunt's. ”

As soon as Zhou Congxiang heard that he was rich, he jumped up and said, "When did it happen?" ”

Wang Xiangyang said: "At the end of the month. ”

Zhou Congxiang called Zhang Yongchang and asked, "Da Ling has five hundred yuan on her, do you know?" ”

Zhang Yongchang didn't say anything, just took out the cloth bag from his pocket. Inside is the relics of this Wang Daling. Indeed, fifty sheets of great unity, a lot of points. It's blistered, wet and greasy.

Wang Xiangyang's parents also saw the gold goods, and they knew that she had been wearing them since she was a girl. The two of them almost came over to grab it, but they were snatched by Zhou Congxiang, and they grabbed it tightly and said: "Da Ling is my daughter-in-law, I watched her enter the door." ”

Wang Xiangyang's father said: "Old woman Zhou. I'm her own brother! ”

When the village chief saw this, he knocked on the table and said, "Quiet, quiet." I don't want to deal with the problem yet. For the New Year, who wants to watch you grab things. ”

Zhang Laoshi coughed a few times, and finally spoke: "It's this, the village chief is here." Let's listen to the village chief. The village chief is the fairest. It's up to you to call the shots for us. ”

Zhang Yongliang hurriedly lit a cigarette for the village chief, and the village chief took a sharp puff and said, "It's difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs!" One of you is your brother, and the other is your husband who shares the same bed. I have a suggestion, if you think it is feasible, let's write something and make a note. ”

Wang Xiangyang's father said: "It can only be like this, my sister-in-law has a rough life, and she is miserable when she dies." Our relatives can't be when her bones are still cold. It's not good. I listen to the village chief, what do you say. I'll do what I do. ”

Zhou Congxiang said: "Village chief, you can't be partial, you also know that we are honest in Yongchang." ”

Ou Chunhua's two sons, Zhang Yongguang's two sons, Zhang Yongan, Zhang Yongxin, the main figures of the old Zhang family, all swept their eyes to the village chief. At this time, the village chief's eyes collided with Zhang Yongxin's, and Zhang Yongxin lowered his head.

The village chief said: "Isn't Wang Daling's old house going to be sold? When the buyer came to the door, I supervised the scene, and by then, half of the money was sold. ”

Wang Xiangyang's family didn't say anything, but Zhou Congxiang was reluctant. Half of the money, she seemed to have suffered a big loss.

Zhang honestly thought about it, this is also the best way, otherwise would he really start a lawsuit for this matter?

The village chief turned his gaze to Zhang Yongchang, and only his words played the final decisive role. Zhou Congxiang looked at Mu Ne's son, and she said a little anxiously: "Yongchang, when is it, you are sad to be patronized." People can't be resurrected after death, Da Ling will remember that you are good to her! ”

Zhang Yongchang's head was always lowered, and he didn't want to speak.

Zhang was in a hurry, stood up and walked in front of his son and said, "You melon goods, get up, make a statement!" ”

Seeing his old father so angry, he stood up and said to the village chief: "Village chief, listen to you, I have no opinion. ”

The village chief saw that the two families finally agreed to this opinion, and he was also ready to leave, because it was a big New Year, and it was panicked to stay here. He patted his clothes and said, "I'll go first, and when the buyer comes, go to my house and shout." ”

Zhou Congxiang hurriedly sent the village chief to the door, looked at the village chief's hands behind his back, and left with a humming Qin tone.

When the village chief returned to his door, he didn't go directly, but went to the wheat straw stack next to him and smoked a few handfuls of wheat straw, lit it, circled around his body a few times, and then stepped on it with his foot and entered the house.

Zhou Congxiang thought that Wang Xiangyang's family would leave, but what she didn't expect was that people were still staring at Wang Daling's relics.

Wang Xiangyang said: "I said the people of the Zhang family, should you return my aunt's belongings?" ”

Zhou Congxiang hurriedly answered: "What kind of item, isn't it just the five hundred yuan, just count it from the total price at that time." ”

Wang Xiangyang said: "I'm not talking about money, that money is nothing. That bracelet belongs to our royal family, and it has the words of the royal family on it. ”

Zhang said honestly: "Young man, don't talk nonsense here, this is our family." ”

When Zhang Yongguang heard that it was a gold bracelet, his eyes lit up and said, "Yes, everything in our house is ours." ”

The honest Zhang Yongchang put the bag of relics on the table and said, "Everything is here, and I'm not rare!" ”

Zhou Congxiang suddenly lay on the table and used her body to protect the bag of relics.

Wang Xiangyang's father said: "That bracelet is indeed handed down by our ancestors, look at it, there are words in the bracelet." ”

Zhou Congxiang picked up the bracelet, but she couldn't read. handed it over to his eldest son Zhang Yongliang and asked him to take a good look.

Zhang Yongliang held his black glasses with his hand, picked up the bracelet and walked to the yard. I looked left and right for a long time, and then said to my mother: "Yes, there are words in it, and what is written is the cultivation and reading of the heirloom, the family motto of the Wang family." ”

Wang Xiangyang snatched it and said, "Look, our family used to be a big family, and everything we used would be marked." ”

Zhou Congxiang could only protect the two rings and not let them look at them.

When Wang Xiangyang's parents saw this frame, they said, "Your family is really shameless." Forget it, we don't want it, let's give it to you. ”

The old couple stood up, pulled their son, and walked out of the gate of Lao Zhang's house.

Wang Xiangyang himself was responsible for his aunt's death, and he felt sorry for his aunt. So I can only endure this breath first, and I can't disturb my aunt's spirit in the sky for these things. (To be continued.) )
