"Yan Sanxiang, you spew blood! I never said anything like that at all! Wang Chunhua was taken aback, with a white face, and loudly denied it.

"Patriarch, what Sanxiang said is true, I can testify to her!" A forty-something aunt who followed closely next to her thirties aunt immediately came out to express her position.

"Xu Dahong, you are also spewing blood! The two of you have always been as good as wearing crotch pants, of course you helped Yan Sanxiang speak! Wang Chunhua rolled her eyes at her forty-year-old aunt, Xu Dahong, and her face turned even paler.

"Wang Chunhua, do you still want to quibble? Let me tell you, I am good with Sanxiang, so the tunnel of my house is connected to the tunnel of Sanxiang's family. ”

"At that time, I, Sanxiang, and my Huzi happened to be at the root of the wall of Sanxiang's courtyard, checking the surrounding movements, and we all heard what you and your father said!"

Speaking of this, Xu Dahong turned his head to Zhou Yuandong and said, "Patriarch, if you don't believe it, you can call someone to my house and call my tiger over to ask if what he said is the same as what Sanxiang said!" ”

"Okay." This is not a trivial matter, Zhou Yuandong immediately did it.

After Huzi came over, what he said was really the same as what Yan Sanxiang said.

Wang Chunhua had no choice but to bite the bullet and said to Zhou Yuandong: "Patriarch, the three of them colluded to frame me, let me tell you, I went to find my father, I didn't say those words at all, I was persuading my father not to come to our village with people to rob and go home early!" ”

"If you don't believe me, I can swear to heaven in public, and if one of my words is a lie, I will be the last in my family!"

"Phew! What kind of oath is this? You don't have a good stomach, you only raised three girls, and two of them died, you are already peerless! Liu Wuxiu couldn't listen to it, so she spat in her face again.

Wang Chunhua was not to be outdone, and immediately "bah", and also spit a mouthful of saliva on Liu Wuxiu's face.

Liu Wuxiu has been riding on Wang Chunhua, but she didn't expect her to dare to resist, and she was so angry that she "snapped!" Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! He slapped her in the face six times in a row.

It almost stunned her.

She spit out a mouthful of blood from the side of her head, and yelled at Liu Wuxiu: "Liu Wuxiu, your mother's family has only two brothers, but my mother's family has four brothers, you bully me like this, you wait, wait for them to come back from the army, I won't let you go!" ”

"Ho, I'm so scared! Wang Chunhua, don't forget, my family still has four sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law who got married! ”

"My four brothers-in-law and brother-in-law are not vegetarians! If your mother-in-law dares to beat me, without my mother's brother-in-law, just my four brothers-in-law and brother-in-law can beat them to the ground! Liu Wuxiu is full of confidence.

"Hmph, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, there are three in my family, and my three brothers-in-law and brother-in-law are not vegetarians!" Wang Chunhua is not afraid.

"Then my mother's family has three aunts and cousins, and two aunts and cousins, they ......"

"I also have two aunts and cousins in my mother's family, and four aunts and cousins, and they ......"

……

The two of them quarreled and quarreled, and it became a fight for relatives.

Xiao Qiongzhi didn't have the patience to listen to their unnutritious quarrel.

She turned her head and whispered to Zhou Yuandong: "Patriarch Grandpa, Aunt Wang has always just wanted to calculate my family's things, and she has not done anything that hurt me and my family, I am willing to forgive her for everything she has done before." ”

"However, a person like her who doesn't know what to do is not worthy of my kindness, in the future, as long as I give you and ask you to help me distribute it to the people in the village, please don't give it to her."

"Okay." Zhou Yuandong nodded.

Xiao Qiongzhi turned his head to look at Liu Wuxiu, the two old ladies of the Zhou family, Yan Sanxiang, Xu Dahong and others, and bowed to them: "Thank you for speaking up just now." ”

"Little master, don't be polite to us."

"yes, that's what we should do."

The two old ladies of the Zhou family both smiled kindly at Xiao Qiongzhi.

"Little master, I'm sorry. Actually, Da Hong Sister-in-law and I wanted to tell you about Wang Chunhua and her father bringing someone to your house to rob you yesterday. ”

"It's just that seeing that things didn't happen, I'm afraid that you won't believe it, and I'm afraid of Wang Chunhua, and on the other hand, we are dead-mouthed, so we didn't make a sound." Yan Sanxiang pointed at Xu Dahong and explained with some guilt.

She felt that they were not up to the word "speak up".

"Aunt Yan, you are too polite. It didn't happen anyway, and as you told me today, it's the same. Xiao Qiongzhi glanced at her comfortingly.

"Patriarch, I just weighed it with Brother Zheng, this piece of hind belly meat, no more, no less, just 100 catties, look, do you want to send it to your house now?" At this time, Zhou Dayong suddenly held a large piece of wild boar meat and came over to discuss with Zhou Yuandong loudly.

Zhou Yuandong waved his hand at him and said: "Dayong, don't be so troublesome, anyway, you count quickly, the big hero cuts meat quickly, and your family is also known, so please help me, directly here, and distribute the wild boar and other good things to everyone." ”

"This ......" Zhou Dayong subconsciously looked at Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang.

Zheng Bang didn't make a sound, but he looked at Xiao Qiongzhi.

No matter who asks Xiao Qiongzhi and his opinion at the same time, he will leave the decision to Xiao Qiongzhi like this.

Xiao Qiongzhi was used to it, and she didn't be polite to him.

She smiled and said to Zhou Dayong: "Second uncle, you and your uncle, just do what the patriarch grandfather said!" ”

"Good!" Zhou Dayong hurriedly turned his head and promised Zhou Yuandong.

Zhou Yuandong was relieved, and immediately arranged for someone to notify all households in the village to come over and divide things.

He also took out a ledger from his arms and asked Zhou Dayong and Zheng Bang, according to the list on the ledger, to start helping now, and distribute the things to the people present to watch the excitement first.

At the same time, he reminded them in a low voice that everything in the clan is divided according to the head.

However, there is a rule in the clan that as long as the person who unfortunately dies because of the protection of the country or anyone in the clan from being bullied, and the person who unfortunately dies for the benefit of the clan, he is considered to have died for justice.

The parents and the next generation of these men will have a great share of the land of a head and the possessions of a head in sixty years.

Like the list on those ledgers, each "positive" character represents that family, a person who unfortunately died for the sake of justice.

Correspondingly, as long as he is a deserter in a war to protect the country, or when the clan is in trouble, he leaves behind the elderly, children or important belongings of the clan and runs away by himself, he is considered a betrayer.

If these people lived, their land would be confiscated and driven out of Zhoujia Village; If these people died, their land would be confiscated and they would not be allowed to be buried in Zhoujia Village, including their parents and the next generation, and for 60 years, they would not be given any more property to the clan except for the land to which they were entitled to their name.

Like the list on those ledgers, every word "stop" represents that family, there is a betrayer.

Xiao Qiongzhi just now, he had been paying attention to Wang Chunhua's quarrel with Liu Wuxiu, Yan Sanxiang, and Xu Dahong, but he didn't notice when Zheng Bang happened to cut a hundred catties of wild boar.

She was very curious about whether Zheng Bang could cut it just enough to weigh enough when he distributed wild boar meat to everyone next, so she deliberately walked to their side to watch the excitement, but by the way, she heard the reminder that Zhou Yuandong gave them.

This made her understand at once why the last two times, when robbers came to the village, the vast majority of the people in the village were able not to betray their fellow people.

For example, when the robbers came to Guangyu Village, except for Bi Li Zhu, there was no one who betrayed her, Chu Yunniang and other clansmen.

And yesterday, except for the woman who offered brick cakes out of the city in order to save her child, and Wang Chunhua, who betrayed herself, no one else betrayed anyone.

Especially the day before yesterday, Zhou Yuangeng and his two younger brothers were willing to sacrifice their lives in order to save Chu Yunniang and Liu Wuxiu.

It can be seen that the clan rules of Zhoujia Village have clear rewards and punishments, and are full of positive energy, and what is cultivated is often loyal and upright people who love the country, the clan and the family.

It's just that, the strange thing is that among such people, why haven't they heard that there are famous ministers and good generals?

Could it be that for generations, they have not cultivated talents who can read or fight?
