The villagers on the sidelines couldn't help but gasp, there were only five ploughing cattle in the whole village, which showed that the price of ploughing cattle was expensive.

The cow of the Shen family was the only thing that the Shen family got when the old lady Shen was alive.

The Shen family has five people, and the family has ten acres of land, so if they just pay the state's taxes and grain, they can live well. Hate is hateful to the village chief.

He relied on the remoteness and isolation of Xiannan Village and the abundance of materials, forcibly occupied the villagers' fertile land, and even increased taxes privately.

In this way, less than half of the land that can really be cultivated by them will be cultivated, and ten acres will become five acres, and they will be taxed twice as much as the imperial court. If it weren't for the fact that the yamen discovered a jade mine in the back mountain a few years ago and recruited the old and young masters in the village to mine, this life would really not be able to go on.

Don't say that mining and digging mountains are hard, and it is also dangerous for mountains to roll down gravel, even if you are not comfortable in the season, no matter if you are busy with farming, the mine will still start.

Therefore, in the final analysis, the most reliable thing for farmers is their own one-third of an acre.

The cow of the Shen family often helps the neighbors to cultivate the land when they are busy farming, and they all rely on it, but now the village chief asks for other people's cattle as soon as he opens his mouth, which is too ruthless!

Shen Cheng said incredulously: "How can this work!" ”

"No way?" Village Chief Xie Jing sneered: "It's okay if you don't give it, then let's go to the government to evaluate and see how the county master decides!" ”

Sue?

Ordinary peasant households, who dares to go to the yamen to file a lawsuit! It is said that the official word is two, and after eating the defendant and the plaintiff, where can he afford to fight a lawsuit?

Shen Cheng was a seven-foot-tall iron-beaten man, his broad back couldn't help but bend, he looked at Shen Chang and Shen Kang with embarrassment, gritted his teeth, and nodded.

"Hah!" Xie Jing laughed triumphantly twice, and said impatiently: "Okay, then go home and go to the cow." ”

Shen Kang's heart was constantly beating violently, and a wave of sadness slowly overflowed, filling his entire body, and he knew that this was the original reaction from this body.

His heart is very confused, and they all say that they are deaf and dumb, and he is no exception. Twenty-eight years of deafness and mute robbed him of the colorful colors of his life, but it did not break him.

He learned to read, sign and lip language, which allowed him to support himself as an adult and get a job as a library administrator.

He likes to read books, and he is crazy to absorb the knowledge from books, so that he feels that he lives with dignity and has hope for the future.

Living with dignity and hope for the future is what he wants all his life.

When he came here, he didn't think it was an accident, but a gift from God, and it was a reward for good and evil. Who doesn't want a wonderful life? Heaven has given him a chance, and he is now a sound man!

So first of all, it is to seek justice, for himself and for the sake of this family.

Having made up his mind, Shen Kang no longer hid behind his father, his hand that was twisting his sleeves loosened, and he calmly stepped forward.

At the moment when the village chief and Xie Lin were triumphant, and the other villagers looked at their father and son with sympathetic eyes, he twisted the left cuff with his right fingers, and said calmly: "Village elder, what you said is very right. ”

The villagers looked at Shen Kang suspiciously, wasn't this kid stupid? That's a cow! It's ploughing cattle!

This old ghost Xie is simply a bloodsucking worm.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Kang said: "We have finished paying what we owe, is it time to talk about how you can compensate us?" ”

He was just an eight-year-old child, and he still spoke with a childlike voice, and his face was covered with blood and tears, but his eyes were full of adult... Wisdom.

"Oh? Shall I compensate you? What to compensate for? Xie Jing glared at him disdainfully, and secretly scolded the child for not knowing the severity.

Shen Kang raised his hand to wipe the wound on his head, and he was covered in cold sweat in pain, but his small back was as straight as a pine.

Looking at this scene, even if he knelt down and begged him now, he would not let go of himself and this family. He's hated anyway, and he doesn't mind making him more disgusting.

He laughed and smeared the blood on the village chief's robe, leaving a patch of dirty blood, which looked like a disgusting child and made people want to kick him.

Xie Jing subconsciously hidden, his face was full of disgust, and he secretly scolded Shen Kang in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Kang's eyes turned and a cold light appeared, and he said slowly: "Everyone in the village knows that I have been weak and sick, and my family is so poor that I can't afford supplements, so today the second brother took me up the mountain and beat me a pheasant." On the way back, I met Brother Lin, who pushed me to the ground and smashed my head without saying a word, and robbed the pheasant again, rewarded me with two catties of fat pork, and called the brothers in the same village who didn't know the truth, and broke my second brother's arm. ”

He spoke clearly and methodically, although with a childlike voice, people couldn't help but think of Xie Lin's ordinary style, and believed his every word.

Originally, the teenagers who participated in the fight were afraid that Shen Kang would tell them out, they were not like Xie Lin, there was a village chief as a father, they were all children of poor families, that is, Xie Lin was responsible for everything, but if they made a mistake, they couldn't hide from a meal when they got home.

But what about Shen Kang?

In a few words, they are classified as "big brothers who don't know the truth", so of course, they don't need to be responsible.

A teenager's father secretly poked the child and asked, "Is what he said true?" ”

"Yes, it's true!" The young man's firm answer was heard clearly by everyone, and the authenticity of this matter was enhanced.

Shen Kang expected it, and secretly smiled in his heart, and continued: "The village chief said that I made Brother Lin look like that, but I want to ask, do you know how old Brother Lin is this year?" ”

"Twelve, what's wrong!" Xie Jing raised his head with his hands in his hands, not wanting to pay attention to him at all, but his heart was already empty.

Shen Kang smiled and nodded, a pair of dark pupils shone brightly, and he blinked innocently and said, "Yes, Brother Lin is twelve years old this year, and those eldest brothers who were blinded by him are about the same age." But I'm only eight years old, and I've been in poor health since I was a child, so how can I be heavy-handed? The reason why I beat Brother Lin was because I was afraid that he would really burn our whole family, but we were reasonable, and if we beat someone, we would have to pay compensation, and I have no complaints. On the other hand, my second brother and I, one broke his head and the other broke his hand, shouldn't your family also do everything to compensate me and my second brother? ”

Xie Jing hesitated, he didn't expect that this Shen San would be so sharp-toothed, and in comparison, his son would be so stupid!

It's okay to beat people yourself, and you brought so many people. He glanced at Shen Kang quietly, and his heart was shocked, this injury... It's too scary to watch, if you really make a mistake, it's not going to end well! What's even more infuriating is that those children are still desperate to help Brother Lin, and at this time they even proved it for Shen San, pigs and dogs are not as good as untouchables!

Shen Kang raised his head to look at the bearded man in the crowd and asked, "Uncle Liu, you are the only talent in our village, and the most knowledgeable and reasonable person in my mind. ”

This Liu Xiucai, surnamed Liu Mingyuan, is about forty years old, and has only moved to Xiannan Village in recent years, and I heard that he is a Xiucai who has been in Jiajing for three years. Although he failed to raise people in high school, this is already an extremely remarkable figure, and the neighbors in the village respect him as Liu Xianggong.

He was dressed in a light cyan round-necked shirt with large sleeves, and a thick cloak was draped outside, which was in stark contrast to the surrounding villagers in terms of clothing and bearing, so Shen Kang could see him at a glance.

When the villagers heard him ask about Liu Yuan, they couldn't help but lower their eyebrows and quietly looked at him, Xiucaigong, that is the Wenqu star in the sky, will you pay attention to him?
