Today is neither the Chinese New Year, nor is anyone married, but Shaxi Village is still lively to see, and outside the gate of Mai Defu's house in the middle of the village, it is crowded with villagers waiting for a good show.

The men were leaning against the corner of the wall or holding their arms and smiling, watching the movements in the courtyard; The women, in groups of three or five, gathered together to exchange news, and from time to time burst into laughter.

On an old elm tree outside the courtyard, several half-grown children climbed up, sitting on it swinging with their feet swinging, quarreling this kind of thing is the most interesting to them, and it would be even better if someone started to fight again.

The mentality of the parties in the courtyard was just the opposite of that of the onlookers, their expressions were focused, and their faces were red.

Three old men with weathered faces sat on the chairs, you say a word, I argue a word, and there is an old woman sitting next to her, who doesn't say a word at all because she is a woman.

Next to them stood a dozen men and women in their thirties and forties, all cheering for their fathers and mothers-in-law.

If you listen carefully, you will know that they are fighting over a piece of property, and the dispute is over the family property of their second grandfather Medelu, who has no children and no daughters less than two months after the death of the Mai family.

The Mai family is prosperous, and the older generation has four brothers, except for the second room, which has no children, and the rest of the families are full of children and grandchildren. The more people there are, the more consumption there is, and Medlu's family property will become fast fattening, and the other three rooms of the Mai family want to share more, and more......

So the old man has been in the soil for almost two months, and the family property has not been divided.

Pan Mingqiu, the village chief of Shaxi Village, is about to explode when he hears the words Mai Jia, but before the matter is resolved, he has to accompany him, and he doesn't know when he will be the head.

"I said village chief, our third room is the most dedicated to the second grandfather, half of the east and west three rooms, and the other half of the eldest grandfather's family and the fourth grandfather's family are equally divided, how easy it is to solve this matter! Look at your embarrassment, it's been two months, and you still haven't figured it out! In a few days, the wheat will be harvested. ”

The woman who spoke was Shan Cuihua, the second daughter-in-law of the third room, with a particularly loud voice, thirty-five or six years old, wearing clothes that had been washed white but without patches, and her face was a little black and red, and she could see from her eyebrows that she was quite beautiful when she was young.

The woman next to Shan Cuihua, who obviously belonged to the other camp, replied: "Xiao Huan, her mother, what you said is not right, why do you want half of the property in the three rooms, and we want to divide the other half equally in the two rooms, so that I said that your family has a rich son-in-law, and you shouldn't fight for these little things at all." ”

Jokes, who would dislike having a lot of property! I also have two sons waiting to marry a daughter-in-law, and two daughters waiting to prepare a dowry! Although the eldest girl doesn't go home to get things, it also has to be a long stream! Shan Cuihua straightened her waist and prepared to have a good fight with the sister-in-law in the next room.

So the Nth argument started in the yard about the ownership of the house, the land, the well, and the old cattle......

On a hillside not far away, there was a thin little girl, she was the Xiao Huan mentioned by the woman just now, the youngest child of the second family in the third room.

She was holding her cheeks and looking helplessly at the group of people below at the moment, why was she so unlucky, and came to this place that she had never heard of before, and a dynasty that had never appeared in history at all!

God took back the irritating figure and the enviable appearance of everyone, and even turned himself into a shriveled little bean sprout that had lost its moisture. This body, let alone an adult, can easily push itself down even as a child.

We won't say anything if we don't have the identity of a princess or eldest lady, the village aunt will be the village aunt! Don't you give so many best relatives?

Not to mention the other rooms, his own grandfather Mai Deshou went early, leaving his grandmother Mai Liu to pull his three sons, and the two daughters bitterly became a family for them and said goodbye. Her old man now lives with the uncle's family, and the old lady is the most realistic version of the master who wants money and doesn't want to die, probably because she was afraid of being poor in those years, and no one wants to take out the copper plate in her pocket.

The uncle and his family go home all day long to pull things, and the branches they encounter on the road are not let go, and the aunt's hands and feet are not honest, every time she goes to her own house, she either takes an egg or pulls two green onions to hold, in short, she never goes empty-handed.

The third uncle is not the laziest, only the laziest guy, his eyes light up when he walks around, and when he mentions work, his head hurts all over his body. The third aunt gave birth to a son with a problem, who was a little lacking in confidence, and on the surface she lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, but in fact she sold her mother and eldest mother, and it is estimated that they will have to help count the money......

Just as Mai Xiaohuan was analyzing the personalities of his family members one by one, there was a burst of laughter from the bottom of the mountain, and the crowd gradually dispersed. The village chief should take the first step out of the courtyard of the Mai family's big house, looking like that, he is afraid that he will be dragged back if he takes a slow step. Mai Xiaohuan guessed that the Mai family must be the last person the village chief of Shaxi Village is most reluctant to deal with, and there is no one.

Mai Xiaohuan stood up and patted the broken grass and leaves on her body, and went to the side of the road to wait to meet her family. She is self-aware, and she went to her grandfather's house to cause chaos for her father, so it is better to be honest enough to stay aside, so that she is safe, and her family can devote themselves to "fighting".

What's more, she doesn't want to participate in a situation like this, she can't understand what these people think, even if the things of the second grandfather's family are evenly distributed, how much can her family get? Daddy and his brothers might as well go up to the mountains to hunt if they have this kung fu, and they can sell it for a lot of money in two months, which is not much better than fighting for these haves and don'ts.

It's a pity that what I said, just like this small body, has no sense of existence, no one cares at all, and no one wants to listen.

Shan Cuihua walked at the front of her own team, her body was straight, her feet were windy, and she was more masculine than men.

Seeing Mai Xiaohuan standing on the side of the road waiting for them, Shan Cuihua quickened her pace, and when she got closer, she pinched the little girl's ear and pulled it up, inhaling Mai Xiaohuan in pain, and tears were about to fall out.

"You dead girl, you know how to hide here, why don't you go down below to help?"

Mai Xiaohuan turned his head sideways to avoid Shan Cuihua's shot again, joke, he was a fool if he didn't hide, and he was pulled by the old lady again, and his ears would bleed if he didn't fall off.

Mai Xiaohuan didn't open her mouth to argue, she waved her two arms, which were not much thicker than the burning stick, and shook them in front of her mother, how can you help with these two little arms?

Shan Cuihua frowned and looked at the little girl a few times, this child didn't look like his own child, thin like a stick, and only the pair of eyes could see on one face. It seems that it is impossible for her family to have three village flowers, she has no resemblance to the other two daughters at all, and she can go directly to the street with a bowl in ragged clothes to ask for food.
