Chapter 51: The Ancestral Hall (1)

"Ouch, brother, if you admit this one, will our brother be promoted to an uncle?" A group of thugs coaxed.

Before Chun Gui could say anything, Daddy Li on the other side arrived with a note, followed by Li Zheng, but what he didn't expect was that Li Zheng's daughter-in-law and several relatives surnamed Liu followed behind, and many people came this time.

Li Zheng was still holding a half-lit dry cigarette in his hand, apparently just after two puffs before Cai called out.

Before he could speak, his daughter-in-law hurriedly came up to grab Chungui and scolded: "How many disasters are there going to be in your Liu family?!" But it's hard to catch us in the spring, right? ”

This sentence made Chungui, who was standing in place tense, almost sour her nose, she swallowed her choked throat, and held the hand of her daughter-in-law again: "Auntie, don't be angry." ”

She settled down and looked at the elders of the Liu family behind Li Zheng, and Cousin Liu, who helped sell mushrooms that day, was also there, and her eyes were full of anger.

"Liu Gui! What kind of moth are you doing? Bullying people to their own juniors! ”

Liu Gui obviously didn't take people seriously: "Cousin, what you said, I am here today to help my nephew and daughter-in-law take care of the fields, why do you think of me like this one or two, alas, I am too aggrieved." ”

Cousin Liu nodded her fingers and scolded: "What are you pretending to be two hundred and five, the family has such a difficult time in the spring, it has only improved, if you don't help as an elder, you still suck blood like a leech, you are not afraid that your father will be so angry that he will jump out of the grave!" ”

The people next to him pointed and scolded again, Liu Gui didn't eat oil and salt, and a few gangsters even looked at the jokes and dug with hoes one by one.

Li Zheng frowned and smoked two puffs of cigarette to calm down, he has lived for decades, and it is the first time he has seen this kind of scoundrel, Liu Quan still knows how to protect his face, but this Liu Gui is a hob meat.

took advantage of the loopholes in the clan to wander around here, but he couldn't force him to really do this thing.

At this time, Father Li hurriedly handed over the note: "Girl, this note is for you." ”

Li Zhengcai's eyes were certain, and he suddenly remembered what he said when he asked him to make a note for the protection of the book.

Chungui glanced at Liu Gui and his party steadily: "Uncle Gui wants to plant my family's land, but he refuses to sign with me." ”

She took the note and turned to look at the villagers in the village, and said with a light smile: "Uncles and aunts, I bother you to come here." As it happens, I have a note here for you to see. ”

Cousin Liu was panting with anger, and when she heard this, she was surprised in her heart, and asked while patting her chest, "Girl, where did this word come from?" ”

Chungui said loudly: "Fellow villagers, as you know, our family was in trouble during the drought, and there was a house and seven acres of paddy fields left. ”

"And there are no elders in the family, only Zhixing has grown up among the younger siblings, but I also have to prepare for the imperial examination, and I am a girl's family, so this kind of ground is powerless."

Liu Gui looked at the word note a few more times when he heard it, and when he heard this, he returned to his hippie smile: "Did you hear it, it's powerless, what's wrong with my cousin's help!" ”

Chun Gui spread out the note and handed it to Cousin Liu at the front: "Cousin, show this note to your uncles and aunts." ”

Cousin Liu hurriedly took it, but she didn't know a few big characters, so she only glanced at it suspiciously and passed it to the literate person behind.

Chungui continued: "This note was signed by me and Grandpa Li years ago, Grandpa Li's family lost land during the drought, and our family had no elders, so I asked Zhixing to write down this double copy of the tenant field note, and in the future, my paddy field is planted by Daddy Li's family, and the two seasons of the year are collected sixty percent of the rent, written in black and white, and pressed the red handprint, can not be faked!" ”

As soon as these words came out, those who were originally worried breathed a sigh of relief: "Girl, if you didn't say it earlier, I sweated for you all the way." "That Liu Gui acted as a scoundrel, with this note, this field can be planted by Daddy Li, who cares if you are close or not, they signed the note half a year ago, and it should be written according to the top.

It's a pity that everyone overestimated Liu Gui's face, and he said sarcastically after a moment's pause: "Ho, what is the effect of this note, has anyone seen it?" Who cares if you write a copy and secretly press your handprint! ”

"You want to be shameless!" Li Zheng's daughter-in-law immediately scolded, looked left and right and found a stone to throw it, but she was stopped by the spring return action.

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law was a figure like Cai's when she was young, and she was also tortured by her relatives, and her temperament has softened a lot after marrying someone for these years, but in just half a year, these scoundrels of the Liu family have provoked her old nature.

Li Zheng hurriedly took his daughter-in-law behind with a stiff face, and finally spoke:

"What if I'm the guarantor!"

Those who are literate have seen the name of the guarantor in the lower left corner of the paper, and nodded to others after confirming that it is correct.

And that Liu Gui had already received Liu Quan's guidance, rolled his eyes, and looked like a scoundrel: "If you are a guarantor, you want to stop me from taking care of the fields for my nephew's family?" What a reason for this! ”

"What's more, you, a foreigner surnamed Lizheng, are still in charge of our Liu family's affairs?"

He turned his head: "Come!" Brethren! Work hard! Well done! It's not easy for my nephew's family, but we're a warm-hearted person who sent it to the door. ”

After saying that, the gangsters laughed again and began to turn over the ground.

Father Li's face was full of distress, where would these gangsters take care of the fields, he only loosened an acre of land after his hard work this morning, and the whole land was destroyed by such a stir.

Now even Li Zheng was so angry that he couldn't do anything, if he was blatantly to grab the land, he would immediately be able to gather the young adults in the village to drive people out, but now he is in the name of helping, and he doesn't take the stubble at all, and Li Zheng is so full of anger that he has nowhere to spill.

He turned his head to look at Chun Gui, "Girl, you wait, I'll talk to your patriarch!" ”

Chungui lowered her head slightly and couldn't see her expression, and when she heard this, she immediately raised her hand to stop Li Zheng.

She raised her eyes and looked at Li Zheng calmly: "Uncle Li Zheng, I'll go by myself." ”

But Li Zheng looked disapproving, frowned and said:

"Spring return girl, you don't know, the patriarch of your Liu family has been closed since the New Year, and no one has seen him, even if you go, he may not know what kind of attitude he has!"

She doesn't know? Chungui sneered, she knew too well! In these four towns and eight villages, Liu Cheng, Cai Chen, and Li Simen plus the rest of the scattered surnames, only the juniors of Liu Cheng and the two families were bullied by their own families, but the head of the clan covered his head and pretended to be dead. Looking at Zhixing, Qi You is a junior who has no adults, and he fools around at will. It is also because of this inaction, last year, one Liu Quan, this year, one Liu Gui.

But if she doesn't take a tough stance, I don't know which cat or dog will come to the door next year!

Cousin Liu also frowned: "Spring return, let's let Li Zheng go for you, if the family sees that you are a little girl and fools around, I don't know." ”

Wasn't it justice given by the village that Liu Quan robbed the grain at the beginning, and the patriarch of Liu simply didn't go out and pretended to be dead, if he went to the door in the spring, he would definitely not see anyone.

The Liu family next to him also nodded, Patriarch Liu's style is really not on the stage, an old man with a face bigger than the sky, he is most afraid that something will happen to the clan, but once something happens, he will hide.

The head Liu Gui also listened with his ears pricked up, and raised his eyebrows unexpectedly when he heard this, Liu Quan really expected everything.

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law stepped forward and grabbed her: "Girl, it's really not good, your Uncle Li Zheng brought those elders of your Liu family to talk about it, and made a big deal and scared that Liu Gui to death!" ”

Li Zheng took a puff of cigarette and said: "Spring return, don't worry, I came forward, Old Man Liu can't help but come out." ”

This group of people also responded one after another, and was willing to go over with Li Zheng to save the field of spring return.

Every word is a simple kindness.

Chungui's heart warmed when she heard this, but she had another decision in her heart, she let out a long breath, hid the smile from the corner of her mouth and shook her head:

"Ladies and uncles, I'm not going to the patriarch."

Everyone looked puzzled.

"Then what are you going to .......?"

Chungui glanced at Liu Gui, who pricked up his ears to listen, and smiled coldly: "I want to go to the ancestral hall to express my grievances!" ”

........

"What?!"

The front of the man was startled, and the dry smoke in his hand almost didn't hold it.

As soon as these words fell, there was no one around who was not surprised.

Cousin Liu hurriedly pulled the man over: "Spring return? Are you kidding? ”

This opening ancestral hall is a real event, if it is in the ancestral hall, then all the relatives of the Liu clan distributed in the surrounding area can only rush over if there is nothing important, except for the Liu patriarch, those respected elders in the clan must come forward. I'm afraid this matter will be known to everyone.

And that's not all.

The most important thing is that the wronged person goes to the ancestral hall to shout grievances and shouts grievances to the yamen, and the common people have to receive 20 boards to the yamen, and the ancestral hall also has to receive 10 boards before they can complain.

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law's eyes immediately turned red, and she couldn't help but slap Chungui's hand fiercely: "Dead girl, what nonsense are you talking about!" It's as easy as serving a vegetable field when you become an ancestral hall! Phew! Take it back! Your Uncle Li Zheng will go immediately, and promise to drive Liu Gui's bastard back to Sweetwater Village! ”

But Chungui's eyebrows did not loosen at all, and she shook the hand of her daughter-in-law: "Thank you, auntie, it's just that I've already thought about it." ”

"If you can't solve this matter well, there was a Liu Quan last year, a Liu Gui this year, and I can't tell who will come next year, I can't live such a worrying day."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Li Zhicun: "Brother Li, Zhixing and Qi You have a retest tomorrow, please help me pick them up." ”

Although Li Zhicun was honest and honest, he also had a taste for it, and nodded hurriedly.

"Sister Cai, please help me take care of Zhiping and Zhimin, don't tell the two children about this."

Cai wept and nodded.

Chungui knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "Most of you are my Liu family's relatives, you have called your family to come over, and today I will ring the drum of the ancestral hall in Yuechun!" ”

The loud words made a group of people breathe, this girl is iron-hearted!

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law hurriedly pulled the person up, full of distress: "What are you doing!" It's only a teenage girl, can you take that board! What if they break you with no severity! ”

Chungui shook his head and brushed away the hand of his daughter-in-law, and then pushed aside the crowd and walked towards Tianshui Village.

There was a sudden silence around, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they have no time to care about Liu Gui in the field.

Until Li Zheng shook his head helplessly, and said to Li Zhicun on the side: "You are fast, hurry up and invite the village chief." ”
