Chapter 108: Hongjia Village

Liang Xuemei's husband, Hong Haishan, is Chinese New Year's Eve six years old today, and his family background is the same as that of Liang Xuemei, and he is also a rural person, and his ancestors have been rooted in Hongjia Village since his ancestors, and Hongjia Village is about 70 kilometers away from Datian Village.

Different from the villagers in Datian Village, which is full of various surnames, 80 percent of Hongjia Village is surnamed Hong, basically all of them are of the same clan and clan, there is an ancestral hall in the village, there is a patriarch, and there are clan rules, counting up to several generations, many families are related to each other, although such a village can achieve the same hatred and hatred to the outside world, but the internal relationship is intertwined and involved with each other.

Hong Haishan's father Hong Guangxiu is the youngest in the family, there are four brothers, the relationship was not bad in the early years, but in the past few years, it was because Hong Guangxiu was ill, Hong Haishan had borrowed money from several uncles and cousins, and then caused a lot of disputes, and they were a little unhappy with each other.

After the earthquake last year, Liang Xuetao sent a batch of coal to Liang Xuemei, and then brought a lot of food to see her.

Hong Guangxiu's four elder brothers have more than 70 children and grandchildren, more than a dozen families, seeing that the family is becoming more and more stretched in terms of food, at this time to learn that Hong Guangxiu's family has hoarded a lot of food, these people have some ideas in their hearts.

So after two days, some people began to come to the door one after another to borrow food, probably in the spirit of throwing stones to ask for directions, the first time I didn't ask for much, mostly one or two catties of rice noodles. Hong Guangxiu, father and son and Liang Xuemei were loyal and honest, and they thought about their relatives, so they agreed on the spot.

Unexpectedly, this will raise the appetite of these people.

A few days later, Hong Haishan's second cousin, Hong Haiqun, came to the door again and asked for twenty catties of white noodles.

This made Hong Guangxiu angry enough, because of his disease, the family's fields have already been sold, and other families can still plant some wheat to solve the famine in the spring of next year, but their family can only live by guarding the grain sent by their in-laws, thinking that these relatives did not ask for much food, he can still agree hard, but now he is asking for twenty catties of money, this kind of unreasonable request can not be agreed to in any case, if it is opened, there will be people who will continue to come to borrow food in the future.

Thinking like this, Hong Guangxiu sternly refused on the spot.

The embarrassed and angry Hong Haiqun couldn't help but complain after returning home, and was listened to by his son Hong Lei, Hong Lei just turned eighteen years old this year, which is the age of blood and strength, and the next day he angrily broke into Hong Guangxiu's house.

It just so happened that Hong Haishan and Liang Xuemei were not at home on this day, leaving only Hong Guangxiu and Hong Qiang's grandson.

After Hong Lei entered the door, he first dropped two pairs of chopsticks, and then scolded, and after feeling a bad spirit, he walked away, and he didn't care that Hong Guangxiu behind him was downturned by his upside-down words, and passed out on the spot, Hong Qiang was so frightened that he hugged his grandfather and cried, and the neighbor next door heard the movement and came to take a look, and hurriedly went out to find Hong Haishan and Liang Xuemei.

When the couple hurried home, Hong Guangxiu was already on the verge of dying, and hurriedly explained a few words before closing his eyes and passed away.

Hong Haishan is a filial son, learned that Hong Guangxiu was killed by Hong Qiang, so he took a kitchen knife and went to Hong Haiqun's house that night, seeing Hong Lei without saying a word, he directly slashed three times, fortunately, Hong Lei dodged in time, and Hong Haishan's body was thin and weak enough, so these three knives failed to hurt the vital point.

After the Chinese New Year, the country's laws and regulations in Hongjia Village have become virtual, and the village committee has completely lost its right to speak, replaced by the so-called clan rules.

Because of this incident, the ancestral hall in the village was opened for three days in a row, and Hong Haishan and Hong Haiqun insisted on their own words in front of the clan elders.

Hong Haishan's family has only three people, and his strength is weak, obviously not as important as Hong Haiqun's family in front of the clan elders, and after tearing for more than ten days, it was finally determined that Hong Haishan was at fault this time, as for Hong Guangxiu, he was originally a bad old man who lingered on the sickbed all the year round, saying that he was killed by Hong Lei? Is there any evidence? Without evidence, such statements without factual basis are completely implausible.

Hong Haishan was severely fined for this, and the family's food storage was almost lost, seeing that filling the stomach became a problem, after forcibly supporting Hong Guangxiu's three sevens, Liang Xuemei could no longer care about those taboos, and took her husband and son to her parents' house overnight.

Liang Xuemei sobbed and told what had happened in the past two months, and the three brothers of the Liang family were all furious after hearing it.

Especially Liang Xuejun, who slapped the table on the spot and jumped up, saying that he would bring a group of people to kill him and make the second sister angry.

He Wei beside him gritted his teeth angrily when he heard this, and just wanted to open his mouth to refute it, when Mrs. Liang suddenly said: "Although Hongjia Village is not as large as our Datian Village, Lai Hao also has five or six hundred people, no matter whether you can deal with so many people, even if you have the strength, find hundreds of people to go over, such a long way, the cost of this road and the aftermath of the reward, can you afford it?" ”

Liang Xuejun was speechless for a moment.

Mrs. Liang took a sip of hot water to moisten her throat, and continued: "Actually, there are things that Haishan has done wrong in this matter, as the old saying goes, "Raise Mien, fight Mi Qiu", if you want me to say that you shouldn't start this, why do you want to give food to others for no reason? Don't even go directly to the door after the death of your in-laws, regardless of it, whether you hurt the other party or yourself are injured, you can't end up, this time fortunately nothing big happened, if there is really a good one, who do you let Meizi live on in the future? Have you considered these consequences? ”

Hong Haishan, who said this, was embarrassed, and muttered after half a sound: "Mom, I did something wrong about this matter, I was impulsive and hot-headed at the time."

Mrs. Liang has always acted fairly and reasonably, although her daughter married Hong Haishan and has not had a good life in these years, she also knows that she can't blame her son-in-law for this, so she can only secretly sigh that Meizi's life is hard.

However, what happened this time was different from the past, it was completely caused by Hong Haishan's mishandling, Mrs. Liang inevitably had some resentment towards him, and when she heard this, she interrupted him, "I can't tell me this, and if I apologize, I will tell Meizi and Xiaoqiang." ”

Mrs. Liang glanced at Hong Haishan's slightly embarrassed look, turned her head and said solemnly: "You also know the behavior of Meizi and Haishan, the most hard-hearted, but if you are really desperate this time, you will not come to us, I, the mother, am old, and I can't help her, so I can only rely on the support of the three of you brothers." After a pause, he said: "The most important thing at the moment is to help Meizi think about how their family of three should live in the future, as for the rest of the thoughts, put aside for me first, I will talk about the ugly words first, and then let me hear who is agitating to go to Hongjia Village to vent Meizi's anger, don't blame me for being unkind when the time comes, do you understand?" ”

Everyone nodded in unison.
