Chapter 1201: The Taoist Priest and the Widow
An old man and a young man on the beach. In front of the two of them was an incense table, with an incense burner, an inch-high jade bottle and a jade pendant. Zhang Qiusheng stepped forward, grabbed the jade bottle and jade pendant, and kicked the two people to the ground.
Ignoring the struggles of these two, Zhang Qiusheng took out the phone: "Old Lu, there are two people here who are pretending to be ghosts." I'm afraid that the ghosts on the broken mountain are the ones they are making trouble, so come quickly. ”
After making the call, Zhang Qiusheng sat down and looked at the two people rolling on the ground. The old man didn't know him, but the middle-aged man was a little familiar. Think about it carefully, isn't this middle-aged man the clerk at the Housing Authority's Property Rights Trading Center? At that time, in order to buy out Shanshan's house to apply for the property right certificate, this person deliberately made it difficult and beat him up. I just forgot to ask him what his last name was.
The middle-aged man's surname is Zou, and his name is Zou Jiye. The old man is his father, named Zou Zaidao. As mentioned earlier, the original owner of the house on the Broken Mountain left the country before liberation. Later, the house was taken over as state-owned.
After the reform and opening up, the state returned the house to the heirs of the original owner in accordance with the policy. This heir is Zou Zaidao's half-brother. Zou Zaidao fought an inheritance lawsuit with this younger brother, but lost. Because the will clearly states that the house is for this heir. Zou Zaidao is useless even if it is the son of the original owner, so there is no need to do any paternity test, and the certificate of the same villager is even more useless.
In all the wills of the original owner, there is not a single word mentioning that he still has a son like Zou Zaidao. What is the reason for this, how can there be a father who does not recognize his son, after all, he is his own flesh and blood!
Before liberation, the area around Duanshan of Zou Jia was a well-known big family. His family is famous not only for being rich, but since the middle of the Qing Dynasty, their family has been working as officials and doing business outside.
The Zou family is not a big official. But in this mountain, it's amazing. The common people have always been afraid of officials, and they are especially afraid of being officials, even if they are a little official, they are both respectful and afraid, not to mention that the Zou family is also very rich?
In the Republic of China period, the officials of the Qing Dynasty were too many to count. But their family is rich, they used to be in business, and now they continue to be businessmen, so the Zou family's life outside the mountain is still very comfortable.
Then the Japanese devils came. There was chaos outside the mountain, so the Zou family went back to the mountain. Their family made money outside, and they still bought fields, land, and mountains in their hometown. At that time, many wealthy people were like this, no matter how good they mixed outside, they did not forget to buy land in their hometown, in case they were unlucky, and their children and grandchildren would have food to eat when they returned to their hometown. This is called sunny with an umbrella and full of dry food, and this is called being poor and not losing books, and being rich and not losing pigs.
Although he returned to his hometown, he did not live in the countryside. They had already built a house in Broken Mountain, and the Zou family still lived the life of city people.
Later, the Japanese devils occupied Duanshan Castle. The Zou family had to move back to the village. The Japanese devils did not have enough troops to occupy all the areas of China, and they had no way to occupy mountainous areas like Jiufeng Mountain, so they could only stay in Duanshan City. The days in the countryside are still very happy, unless the devil needs to run deep in the mountains to hide.
The Zou family is now the eldest son, and he was only in his twenties and less than thirty years old at that time. Zou Dagongzi, who is in the prime of life, is stuck in this ravine, it doesn't matter if he has been in a year or two, and he has survived three or four years. When he was five or six years old, he couldn't hold back, and he longed for the city life outside the mountains.
In this big mountain, the news is blocked, and the information obtained by Zou Dagongzi is the same as that of the pseudo-security chief in the village, which is the long-term military fortune of the imperial army. There were no newspapers, there was a radio but no electricity, and there was no internet or cell phones.
Zou Dagongzi felt that the future was dark. In fact, at this time, Germany had already surrendered, and the US army was already bombing the Japanese mainland. But Zou Dagongzi, who was hiding in the ravine, didn't know wow, so he began to indulge. The so-called indulgence is nothing more than doing a little nonsense that was previously disdainful of doing.
There is nothing ridiculous to do in this ravine. Gambling? At that time, people in the mountains didn't play mahjong, and that was what the ladies and ladies played. The gambling of the mountain people is generally to roll dice, push pai gow, bet on treasure and so on. Winning or losing is just a few copper plates, and Zou Gongzi is not interested in this little money. So Zou Dagongzi's absurd thing is just to engage women.
In the past, it was not because of how decent Zou Dagongzi was, but because he didn't look down on country women. Now it seems that he will stay in this ravine forever, and from then on he will become a countryman. If you are all countrymen, then you can do it with country women, and it's ridiculous.
Autumn is in the middle of the fall, and it is so hot that I cry. On a day when autumn was sandwiched between the ambushes, news suddenly came that the Japanese devils had surrendered and we had won!
Zou Dagongzi was so excited that he burst into tears, took out the money, and invited the whole village to eat for three days. Then pack some luggage, the first step is to go to Duanshan City to live, and then go to Shenyang after the world is completely calm. Their family's property is mainly in Shenyang, although most of them have been transferred to foreign countries before the Anti-Japanese War, but some properties cannot be moved.
However, before the eldest son of Zou left the village, he was stopped by a woman. The woman was a widow from the next village. Most of the people in the village forgot the woman's name, because her mother-in-law's surname was Lu, and everyone called her Widow Lu.
Widow Lu stopped Zou Dagongzi, saying that she was pregnant and was Zou Dagongzi's child. At that time, there was no family planning technology, and there was only one way for a woman to get pregnant, to give birth. Of course, there is another way.,Use some soil methods to knock it down.,This is the method of nine deaths and one life.,Except for ** and women who don't dare to say the male protagonist, they use this method.。
Widow Lu dared to find the male protagonist, so she didn't have to have a baby. Zou Dagongzi didn't take it seriously, and the landlord Lao Cai engaged in a trivial matter for a country woman. gave Widow Lu twenty yuan of ocean on the spot, and said again: "After the child is born, give it to Duan Shan, and give you another twenty yuan." ”
That's a lot of money. If the powerful people here make a woman from a poor family pregnant, they usually give a piece or two of the ocean, and many of them don't give it at all.
But Widow Lu didn't want money, so she followed the Zou family to Duanshan City. The reason is that no matter what, I have the blood and blood of the Zou family in my belly, and I hope that the child will have ancestors and ancestors when he is born, and besides, she can't support the child as a woman.
Widow Lu is not at all like a country woman, especially not like a country woman in the mountains. At that time, women respected the three obedience and four virtues, and they didn't even dare to speak out loud in front of men, and women in the mountains were even more so.
If it were a landowner in the country, he would probably slap the widow to death. But Zou grew up in Shenyang since he was a child, and he graduated from college anyway, and he has strong new ideas in his head. Widow Lu wanted to follow, but Zou Dagongzi didn't stop her. The young grandmother of the Zou family was well-informed and thought that her husband was wrong about this matter, and she was very sympathetic to Widow Lu, and she did not stop her.
When they came to the house in Broken Mountain, everyone was busy cleaning, placing furniture and bedding, and even Zou Gongzi and the young grandmother did it themselves, only Widow Lu sat there and did not move.
It was the autumn tiger season, and everyone was busy and sweating. Widow Lu shook a goose feather fan, knocked melon seeds, and instructed the maid to clean her room first, as if she was the hostess of the house.
But soon Zou Gongzi discovered one thing, Widow Lu's stomach stood up. Zou Gongzi has two sons and a daughter, and women still know a little bit about the phenomenon of pregnancy, and it usually takes five or six months for the belly to stand up, right?
Zou Gongzi thought about it carefully, it hadn't been two months since he had that relationship with Widow Lu. More than a month ago, he went hunting in the mountains and met Widow Lu who was squatting in the woods to relieve herself. Then, then, for a moment, I couldn't hold back and I talked to her about something. Just that once, who knew that she was pregnant.
A widow, this matter is really inexplicable. Of course, it's okay to ask someone to kick her out, but Zou Gongzi can't do such a thing, so he keeps it in his heart.
Then something terrible happened. First, my son died, and I called a doctor, but I didn't find any reason. Later, the eldest daughter also died, and no cause was found. Within a week, the youngest daughter died again, again for no reason.
When he returned to his hometown to bury his daughter, the villagers quietly told Zou Gongzi that Widow Lu was a witch from the next village. Zou Gongzi immediately felt scared, people like witches are specialized in dealing with that kind of thing. Does the children's death have anything to do with Widow Lu? Zou Gongzi couldn't make up his mind. If there is no evidence for this, it cannot be sued.
Before liberation, in the feudal patriarchal society, it didn't matter if there was no way to sue, and it was completely possible to deal with these inexplicable things through the clan ancestral hall. In the ancestral hall, superstitious legends can be used as the basis for a verdict. Zou Gongzi can take this matter to the patriarch and ask the patriarch to open the ancestral hall.
But here comes the problem again, the patriarch is an old-fashioned man. The patriarch thinks that Widow Lu is not from the Zou family, and the ancestral hall cannot solve the affairs of people of other clans. If Widow Lu gives birth to the child, the child is from the Zou family, and the child's mother can be dragged to the ancestral hall. But not now, this is called nail riveting is riveting the bridge and returning to the bridge. There is another way, you Nalu widow as a concubine. The concubine is not a formal room, but she is also a member of the Zou family, and the ancestral hall of the Zou family can punish her.
The eldest prince of Zou did not dare to take the widow as a concubine, and returned to the city depressed. The children are all dead, and Grandma Zou is so sad that she doesn't think about tea all day long, and her eyes are almost blind from crying. On a day when the autumn wind was just rising, the youngest daughter went with her children within twenty-seven after her death.
When the eldest prince of Zou saw Widow Lu, it was like seeing a demon. After burying his wife, he didn't go home, and went directly to Shenyang. Shen Yang was not at ease, and it didn't take long for him to go abroad.
Let's go back and talk about this widow Lu. Widow Lu was actually very miserable, her husband died within two months of marriage, and then the young widow waited for her in-laws at home. Later, her in-laws also died, and she lived alone without children. Fortunately, my mother-in-law's family still has two acres of land, and my life is so-so.
Year after year, the days of being a widow are very difficult, but I am also used to it. One day, Widow Lu was sitting at home doing needlework, and a Taoist priest came to ask for water.
This Taoist priest was a cultivator in the foundation building period, and he was cultivating on the mountain behind Lujia Village. Taoist priests rarely descend the mountain, so no one in the village knows him.
