Chapter 51: Your family was very skinny when I was a child
At that time, she had no experience in dealing with these things, so she chose to stay in the door to hide, and she rarely had any contact with her neighbors, let alone any friendship between people who were separated by half a village, so she knew very little about Uncle Sang Luzhou, and only after understanding it, did she know that this uncle was a powerful person.
Uncle Sang Luzhou became a soldier at the age of twelve, fought for half his life, dedicated his best years to the motherland and territory, worthy of his own uniform, and the only thing he was sorry for was his family. As the so-called loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, he didn't have time to fulfill his filial piety under his parents' knees, and the two elders passed away one after another. Since then, he has experienced the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person several times. On the eve of his promotion to division commander at the age of 50, he resolutely chose to retire from the army and returned to his hometown with his old wife and children who served in the army to spend his old age in peace. A few years after the leaves returned to his roots, he sent his wife away again.
This lonely old man has lived alone for nearly 20 years, and after experiencing so much pain, he is still full of yearning for life.
In the eyes of adults, he is an elder worthy of admiration. In the eyes of children, he is a strange grandfather who smells of sheep. Whether the weather is good or bad, he can be seen walking around the riverbank with a long whip. When he saw children playing by the river, he would always wave the long whip louder than the sound of firecrackers during the New Year to scare off the children.
In the past 20 years, there have been no drowning accidents in the villages along the river embankment, except in Mulberry Village.
Sang Luzhou pointed at Sang Ping, and said to Yu Sheng angrily: "Your family is very skinny when I was a child." All the children were afraid of me, so he was very arrogant in front of me, snatched the whip from my hand, climbed over the wall of my house, and secretly milked my goat's milk and milk. It's a shame that he's not carrying a bowl, he's carrying such a big bucket! β
The uncle gestured with both hands.
Listening to the old man talk about Sangping's childhood embarrassment, the people around him were very happy.
Yu Sheng really didn't expect Sang Ping to be so capable when he was young.
Wei Dong added: "Brother Ping and I also used the wool of Uncle Zhou's family to make pillows for Qingzi, Yunier and their grandmothers. β
Sang Luzhou also pointed at him, "This is all what they have done." β
Yu Sheng burst into tears.
Sang Ping was embarrassed, "Uncle, how long has this happened, you still remember it so clearly..."
Sang Luzhou's gaze touched his feet.
He sighed regretfully and gratifyingly: "Since you enlisted in the army and left, I don't think you will be able to retire for twenty or thirty years." Unexpectedly... Heyβalthough you retired early, there is no shame in it. There is no shame. The important thing is to bring back such a beautiful daughter-in-law, haha-"
"I don't know how much time you have for small talk!" Secretary Cai interrupted Sang Luzhou's hearty laughter. He sat aside for a long time, listening to them endlessly talk about the history that not many people cared about, and finally couldn't help but come over with a stinky face and said, "When you can't leave here to herd sheep, I think you can still laugh!" I don't think you're nervous about the land at home! β
Sang Luzhou said: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. Every field belongs to the state. The country is there, the land is there. I can't run again, so what's there to be nervous about. β
Secretary Cai said angrily: "You are all people who have half of your body into the loess, what do you know!" You know what! If you don't have land, you can eat the mutton and beef you raise, what do you tell us people to eat, and if you don't eat, go to your house? β
Wei Dong wondered: "Secretary Cai, are you overly nervous?" β
Secretary Cai's eyes were as big as copper bells, "I'm not nervous for your good!" β
"Weidong?"
Yu Sheng muttered Wei Dong's name, and a memory suddenly appeared in his mind-
It was many years before she was reborn, and many years after this period, Wei Dong came thousands of miles to Sang Ping to ask him to help find someone to fight the lawsuit, which was related to land expropriation. In the end, the lawsuit was won, but the huge amount of money was not recovered, and Wei Dong stabbed the defendant more than a dozen times in a fit of rage, killing the defendant on the spot. He was also imprisoned for intentional homicide.
The victim's family is very good at manipulating public opinion, using Weidong's identity as a professional pig farmer to call him a "butcher", kidnapping the people's sense of morality and attacking him again and again. The Weidong incident had a bad impact and was also on the legal news. Sang Ping maneuvered in many ways and hired the most famous lawyer in the country to defend him and save him from the death penalty.
Yu Sheng was also tracking this matter before he was reborn, but then he was immersed in the pain of losing his son and slowly forgot about it...
Wei Dong poured an ear of river breeze, but vaguely heard Yu Sheng calling his name.
"Sister-in-law, you call me?"
Yu Sheng's face turned pale, and he smiled a little unnaturally: "I just remembered something..."
She didn't continue, not only because the things she remembered hadn't happened yet, but more importantly, because she was afraid of some of the people present.
- She remembered that the person who died at the hands of Wei Dong was a village cadre who was greedy for the hard-earned money of the peasants.
But she's not sure if she's the secretary now.
No matter what happens, it's better to guard against it.
Sang Ping touched Yu Sheng's cold cheek with the back of his hand.
"It's windy, let's go back."
Thinking about Weidong's affairs, Yu Sheng was uneasy. She grabbed Sang Ping's hand tightly, "Ping, who has land on the embankment?" β
"Wei Dong's family, Uncle Zhou's family..."Sang Ping can tell these two.
"Haibin's house." The Qin family mentioned another one, and then added, "There are many more places that have land here, but they don't have seeds." If you look at the grassy fields, don't look at the wild ones, but they are actually the crops of many households. β
Yu Sheng suddenly proposed: "Uncle Zhou, Aunt Qin, it's okay at night, come to our yard to play mahjong." β
"I won't..."Qin's elbow was bumped by his son, and then he said a few more words alertly, "I'll take Wei Dong at night." Wei Dong's card skills are superb. I advise you to prepare your money first. β
Sang Luzhou said with a smile: "I will drive the sheep back to your yard." Remember to save me something to eat. β
"Hey!" Yu Sheng happily responded.
When I went back, I made an appointment with Sang Haibin, and Yu Sheng took Qingzi and Yun Nier to Shunzi's house next door after dinner, and after everyone arrived, they plugged in the door and set up a card table in the hall.
Mahjong was brought by Wei Dong. He, Sang Ping, Uncle Zhou and Sang Haibin formed a table, and Yu Sheng and Qin sat behind their own men and watched the battle behind their sons.
When the mahjong was rubbing up, Wei Dongdao broke Yu Sheng's intention behind this game: "Sister-in-law called us over, it shouldn't be just to play mahjong, you have something to tell us." β
