[Ran^Text^Library] The women were silent for a moment, and you look at me and I look at you, but for a moment no one spoke. Novel wWw. Lwxs520.cＯm

Aunt Zhu, who is usually stingy and greedy, was a little anxious when she saw that everyone didn't speak, and coughed lightly: "Ling'er girl, Aunt Fei's ancestors and grandchildren are like this now, and we are also very sad, but things are already like this, when she came to borrow money, the head of the family gave her all the money that our family could embezzle, and now that there are no people, we can't let all the money we have worked hard for several years go down the drain, right?" ”

"Yes, we are all Zhuang families, and it is not easy to save some money, alas, what can I do?"

"That's right, it's not easy for everyone, Aunt Yang, you are having a better life now, why shouldn't you fight with us for this little land!"

All the women complained about Ling'er's mother and daughter, and the old lady was so anxious to explain that she couldn't wait to have a mouth all over her body. Ling'er was angry and funny, but these people were all neighbors, and most of them had helped their families before, and they did have blood this time, so they couldn't talk too seriously, she thought about it and said:

"Aunts and grandmothers, please listen to what Ling'er has to say:

First, Aunt Fei's title deed was indeed taken away by the government, if you don't believe it, you can ask Uncle Jiarong and Uncle Jiaping, they have been to the county government with us before, and they have also seen the small bolt, and if you don't believe it, you can go to the county government to inquire by yourself;

Moreover, when Aunt Fei gave us the title deed, she also took a hundred taels of silver from my mother's hand, everyone knows that our family opened a shop in the town, we were busy for nearly a month, and we were almost arrested by the government as a thief, but we only earned this hundred taels of silver. Now that our family has basically been hollowed out, our family has no land and no land, which is no better than the aunts and grandmothers' families;

Also, our family has already discussed it, and we will wait for Grandma Fei's case to be closed. The government will return the title deed, and we will not secretly annex it, and hand it over to the village chief to see how his old man distributes it. We can have as much as we want, and even if we don't have a piece of land, we don't complain, after all, our family is fine. As long as the family is good. The money field or something can be earned slowly, and the living can still be suffocated to death by urine?

Everyone said, isn't this reasonable? Ling'er crackled a long list. The crowd was speechless.

"Good girl, she is ambitious, and it is not in vain that the old man will teach you." A voice interjected from the side, and everyone turned around. Seeing the old village chief and Grandma Gui standing aside, the old village chief swept the group of women one by one with a straight face: "Look at you one by one." Not a seven or eight-year-old girl is sensible. ”

Everyone blushed a little and bowed their heads, the old village chief looked at Ling'er, thought for a while, and said, "Sister-in-law Fei borrowed money from any of your families before, so come to me first to register it." Wait for the government to close the case, and then talk about the field. Now that I have finished the funeral of my sister-in-law Fei, I will let me hear who mentioned the division of the land before that. Just let me go to the ancestral hall and kneel. ”

The old village chief turned around and went out of the courtyard, and the women stood there for a long time. I embarrassed to say haha and dispersed. Since then, no one has dared to mention this, and everyone has done their part to bury Aunt Fei.

Ling'er's family is finally clean, after the funeral of Aunt Fei is completed, the grain in each field is harvested, the old lady took Ling'er to the village to invite craftsmen, the original old house and kitchen were all demolished, and four or five rooms were built on both sides of the house that was built last year, and then the fence was changed from thorny bamboo to a mud wall more than two meters high.

The old lady smiled and walked around the yard, looking at this room, looking at that room, and sighed: "Alas, I never dreamed that I could live in such a big house in this life, God has eyes!" ”

Ten sisters and Ning Ba were also running around the yard happily, while Da Qiang was chopping firewood in the yard shirtless. Ling'er, who was sitting in the hall, was very satisfied, and thought that it was good to live like this all the time. When she turned around, she saw her father squinting and smoking with a dry tobacco pouch, which was also quite pleasant.

Ling'er looked at Ning Ba and Tenth Sister, thought about it, turned back to her father and said, "Dad, you see that Ning Shu is not small, he has always wanted to study and take the top prize, should we talk to the old village chief and let Ning Shu go over to study?" By the way, let the tenth sister follow and recognize a few words, okay? ”

Before the old man could speak, the old lady walked in with a smile and said, "Well, this is a matter, it happens that there is nothing to do today, I will go to the town to prepare some things, and tomorrow I will take Ning Shu and the tenth sister to apprentice, how about it?" ”

The old lady looked at her father inquiringly, and the father drooped his eyelids and was silent for a moment, "This matter is not in a hurry." ”

Ling'er was a little surprised, she looked at her father, and thought to herself, could it be that Daddy didn't want to spend money on Ning Ba and the others when he saw that they were foreigners? Not really, right? Father and mother are not people who pick the door, otherwise they would not have lived like that before, right?

Dad knocked twice on the table with a cigarette stick, sighed and said: "We have a house now, and the shops in the town have also been rented out. ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and sat down: "Yes, I was so happy that I forgot about this stubble, but the case on the side of the small bolt has not yet been resolved, and there are still so many people in the village staring, I am afraid that I will not be able to get the land."

Otherwise, we still have a hundred taels of silver in our hands, and we will go to the village chief to ask later, and exchange all the hundred taels of silver for fields, and Daqiang and Ning Shu will have something to do in the future, and our family will not be afraid of freezing and starvation. ”

Ling'er felt that it made sense, the grain business in the town couldn't be done, and the shop had been rented out.

Because of the bandits, a few days ago, an army was transferred and camped, and it seems that it will not leave for a while, and now it is not easy to enter the mountain without closing the mountain, and the timber business cannot be done.

And the Jia family on the other side of the county has been eyeing them and has never given up searching for Ling'er, so the county seat can't go casually, it seems that they can only stay in their hometown and farm honestly in the past few years.

It's okay, look at your own body, although she has grown a lot taller this year, she is still skinny, and Daqiang, Ning Ba and Ten Sisters all need to recuperate and grow up slowly.

So, Ling'er immediately went with the old lady to rent an ox cart to go to the town, bought from east to west, and pulled a large cart of things back in the evening, in addition to his family's clothes, quilts, furniture, and two large bags were gifts for the village chief. Tomorrow I will go to the apprenticeship and ask the village chief to do something. Naturally, this gift cannot be taken lightly.

The next day, Ling'er and Lao Niang took Ning Ba and Ten Mei to the village chief's house together, and only then did they enter the village, and saw that everyone in the village had come out, and they all went to the village chief's house. It turned out that someone from the government had come. I heard that the case of the little bolt was closed, and the little bolt was sent back, and of course, the title deed of the little bolt's family was also sent back.

Ling'er was a little surprised when she heard this. Several people looked at each other for a moment, and Ling'er said, "Mother, it's not appropriate for us to give gifts at this time, or you can take the things back." I'll talk about it later, I'll go see the excitement. The old lady didn't answer yet. Ling'er ran away with the crowd.

When he arrived at the old village chief's house, his door was already full of people, three floors inside and three floors outside, and even people were riding on the wall. couldn't get in at all, everyone looked at the courtyard gate and discussed, but no one dared to really go in.

I waited about two quarters of an hour. The people at the gate of the courtyard moved, and the crowd gradually dispersed to make way. The village chief accompanied a few officials to come out, and sent the officials to the entrance of the village while speaking politely, and of course the lively crowd also followed to the entrance of the village.

Before the official had gone far, someone couldn't help but ask curiously: "Village chief, what's the matter?" Did the thief catch it? What kind of person is it? Did you get the title deed back from the little bolt's house? ”

The village chief didn't reply, and watched the official errand walk away, before he turned around and glared at the people, and said in a muffled voice: "The whole village will have a meeting under the big tree in the village." Then he walked away with his hands behind his back and a sad face.

Everyone looked at each other for a long time, full of questions and no answers, since the old village chief had a meeting, most of them wanted to give everyone an explanation, so they went to the open space under the big tree in the center of the village.

Everyone gathered in the open space and waited for half an hour, only to see the village chief slowly come over with a few old men, those old people are the oldest in the village, and they will usually appear together when there is a major event in the village.

After a few old men sat down, the village chief stood up and looked around, sighed and said: "The official is here, everyone has seen it, the thief who killed Fei's sister-in-law is a group of treacherous people, specializing in the abduction, murder, and overselling of goods, and the children lost in the towns before were also committed by this group of people, and now the government has arrested a few accomplices, but the main culprit is still ...... to be caught."

Speaking of which, everyone is talking about it, saying anything, some regret, some are afraid, some suddenly wake up, in short, this result is expected, the only pity is that the main culprit was not caught, I don't know how many people will be harmed, you have to be careful when you go out in the future, so as not to end up with the sad ending of Aunt Fei.

"Village chief, how to divide the land of Aunt Fei's family?" As soon as someone in the crowd started, the others also echoed, and it was better to care about things that were close to them than to care about the thief.

The village chief's face was not good-looking, he looked back at the old men sitting next to him, several old men nodded one after another, and the village chief said to the big guy:

"A few of us discussed this matter, the money that Sister-in-law Fei borrowed in the village before, not counting Ling'er's family, a total of one hundred and fifty taels, and Ling'er's family lent another one hundred taels, a total of two hundred and fifty taels, not counting the fraction. Fei's sister-in-law's eight acres of paddy fields and five acres of dry land are only worth 90 taels at market prices.

Even so, the little bolt is still there, and we can't divide his family's fields cleanly and leave him some way to live......"

Before the village chief could speak, everyone started to talk again, and some people began to be dissatisfied: "Village chief, what should we do with the money we lent, even if the field is left for the little bolt, he won't plant it, just rely on that little rent, when will we be able to pay back our money?" ”

"That's right, the land is not enough to pay the price, what can I do? We can't afford to waste our money, right? That money is also what we have worked so hard to earn! ”

…………

After everyone had enough talking, the village chief motioned to the young man next to him to beat the gong to quiet everyone down. The village chief coughed and said, "This is already the case, after all, the little bolt is my Wang family, and we can't sit idly by." A few of our old men just discussed a result, so let's talk about it first, and then put forward our opinions after listening. ”

The village chief plans to do this, Fei Da Niang's eight acres of paddy fields and five acres of dry land, leave two acres of paddy fields and one acre of dry land for the small bolt, and sell the rest to get sixty-eight taels, and the village public middle school will subsidize twelve taels, and then ask Wang Yuan to donate forty-five taels, making up one hundred and twenty-five taels, which is exactly half of the total amount of silver borrowed by Fei Da Niang, so the person who lent the money can only get back half of the money lent out.

In addition, the village chief promised everyone that if anyone who had borrowed money had something to do at home in the future, the village public middle school would give a certain subsidy.

Ling'er just wanted to applaud when he heard this result, the village chief really has experience, and all aspects have been taken care of, although the person who lent the money can't all go back, although it is a little disappointed, but it is better than not getting a penny, not to mention that the village chief also promised to give benefits in the future, so it will work, so this plan is basically no different, and it was passed.

As soon as the meeting dispersed, Ling'er followed the village chief back and whispered that he would buy the fields sold by Fei Da Niang's family, and if there were other fields, he would also ask for them. The village chief naturally supported it, and the matter was quickly done.

Half a month later, it happened to be winter, Ling'er happily got the title deed of 20 acres of land, and the villagers also took back half of the borrowed silver, and Xiao Bolt lived in the backyard of the ancestral hall, and specially asked someone to take care of him and teach him.

At this point, even if the turmoil in Fei Daniang's family has passed, Wangjia Village has returned to its former tranquility. (To be continued)
