The Wang family used to be in Tongliao County, Liaoning Province.

More than 100 years ago, Wang Defu fled with his wife and children and came to Wangkui County, Heilongjiang Province to open up wasteland and farm. When I first arrived, there was nothing. Adults and children can endure hardships, and within a few years, they will have houses, land, cars, and horses.

On this day, Wang Defu went to herd the horse, and the horse ran into someone's field and trampled on their crops.

Wang Defu said a lot of good things to this family, saying: "You counted and stepped on a few corn seedlings, and I will compensate you for corn in the autumn." ”

The man said, "No, I want gold." If you don't give me gold, I'm not done with you. ”

Wang Defu said: "Brother, if you want food, I'll give you more food." You ask me for gold, and I have nothing to do. ”

The man said, "You can't get any gold, but I want your life." ”

This man used to be bearded, and he drove the family out of the bearded team. He hates beards, kills them when he sees them, does everything in the tunzi, and is a ruffian.

Wang Defu had nowhere to go, so he went home to sharpen his kitchen knife. After sharpening the kitchen knife, he put it in his armpit, put on a piece of clothing outside, and went to find the ruffian.

The ruffian asked, "Bringing the gold?" ”

Wang Defu said: "Yes. He took out his kitchen knife and slashed the ruffian with one slash, and slashed it twice, and then slashed the ruffian to death.

The ruffian's family sued the official, and Wang Defu had people arrest him and send him to Wangkui Prison.

From ancient times to the present, it is all about killing people to pay for their lives, and Wang Defu is waiting in prison to kill his head. His brother-in-law Cheng Zihua found a contact person and secretly released Wang Defu at night.

When Wang Defu arrived home, Cheng Zihua was waiting at home, and he said, "Brother-in-law, go quickly, the farther you go, the better." ”

Wang Defu put on a carriage, pulled food and walked out with his wife and children. After walking for one night, after another day, the people were sleepy and tired, and they came to a grassland surrounded by no people, and there was a small river here, and there was water in the river, and there were small fish.

Wang Defu said to his wife and children: "Let's just go here, we will live here in the future." ”

Here they built shacks, cooked, dug wells, cleared wasteland, and the family started from scratch.

After two or three years of hard work, I have a house, a land, and two pieces of money in my hands. There are more and more people in this area, and Wang Defu bought a plate of stone mills to grind noodles for others to make money.

After earning money, Wang Defu was reluctant to eat, so he could drink three times with a salted duck egg.

The family has money and opens a flour mill. Afraid that the beard would come to rob him, his family bought three good guns.

The Wang family has five sons, none of whom have ever studied. When Wang Defu was old, he handed over the family to his second son Yongyi and fourth son Yongzhi, and the two of them took care of the family; The eldest son, Yongmin, was in charge of the mill, mill, and flour mill; The third son Yongli and the fifth son Yongxin manage farming. The sons were hired to do the work.

After making more money, the Wang family bought two rubber wheels and hired a watch uncle to pull his feet to earn money. When there is a lot of work, Yongyi and Yongzhi also drive to earn money.

Yongzhi likes to play with guns, and he uses a box gun, also known as a crooked handle, which is imported from Germany. He always carried this gun with him, and when he was fine, he went to the grassland to hunt pheasants, hares, and wolves. At that time, the grassland of Qinggang could not be seen at a glance, there was a lot of water in the depression, and there were many wild birds in the water.

The place where they lived later became known as Seven Pai Nine.

Once, more than nine families in the seventh row went to Baiquan to sell soybeans, the Wang family had two trucks of soybeans, and the other family had eight cars. Afraid that the beard would rob the road, Yongyi and Yongzhi both went, Yongyi was in the first car, Yongzhi was in the second car, and the eight cars followed closely.

Halfway down, a lot of beards came, and the car was stopped and not called away.

Yongzhi spotted the beard, shot him, and knocked the hat off.

The bearded head looked at Yongzhi and the gun in his hand, raised one hand and said, "Raise the gun and put two." ”

When Beard heard this, he dodged away and let go of the two cars in front, and the eight cars of soybeans in the back were all robbed by Beard.

The cousin who drove the car for the Wang family was poor, and the eldest mother and daughter-in-law used to wear a pair of cotton pants in winter, and whoever went to the field to cook and feed the pigs put on the cotton pants. The rest of the one sat on the hot kang in single pants and covered his legs with a torn quilt. The Wang family didn't help this cousin a lot, and the mother and son didn't have to wear a pair of cotton pants anymore, and they also had food and drink.

Before the land reform, the Wang family was the largest household in Qinggang, with a mill, a mill, a flour mill, more than 3,000 acres of land, as well as ten horses and four rubber wheels. At that time, there were very few rubber wheels, and the rubber wheels were imported from abroad. Hearing that land reform was going on, Yongzhi gave away three good horses.

During the land reform, the cars, horses, and land were all divided, and the peasants would send the Wang family to live in a dilapidated warehouse, but nothing was given.

The four masters ran away, and the second masters were locked up.

They hung Yongyi up and beat him, and asked, "Where are your silver and gold?" If you don't say anything, I'll kill you! ”

There were no such things at home, and Yongyi said that without them, he would not believe them, and let them be killed. Yongyi, who was sent back, was covered in blood, and the Wang family rolled Yongyi up with Zhang Poxi and dug a pit and buried it.

Yongzhi ran away, and the peasants would arrest Yongzhi's daughter-in-law, or hang it up and beat it, or still want those things.

Fortunately, Yongzhi's daughter-in-law is a good person and usually helps the poor, and a few poor people intercede with her, but she didn't kill her and let her go.

After Yongzhi left, there was no news for four years, and the family thought that this person was gone.

Four years later, Yongzhi returned. The meeting is still fought, and it is not hung up and beaten like that.

The descendants of the Wang family are all in Zhenxiang Town, Qinggang County, and they are now living better than ordinary people.
