In May of the twenty-first year of Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, the world was peaceful and prosperous.

Every household in Zhujia Village is busy with the preparation work before the wheat harvest, this year is not a coincidence, a few days ago the wheat filling a few days ago there was a heavy rain, everyone is in their hearts, the head is covered with a dark cloud, for fear that after being busy for more than half a year, the wheat harvested is shriveled and blind, and the work is in vain.

However, in the past two days, Jinqing's business has been unexpectedly good, thanks to the blessing of the heavy rain, there are many people who have suffered from colds, and the medicine for fever and headache has sold quite well in the past two days.

At noon, Jin Qing hurried home with a medicine box on his back, a few days ago the heavy rain washed down the stove room in the east of the house, today finally got a sunny day, Liu Mama plans to take advantage of the good sun, the stove room to build up again.

Jin Qing calculated, in a few days to harvest wheat, in this era are used to cut wheat with a sickle, when the time will be a lot of people who suffer skin trauma, take the opportunity to sell some trauma medicine, save more money, and build the stove into adobe.

A few days ago, Mama Liu had to pile up two bricks in the house to support the only iron pot in the house, and made a simple stove to make do with the two days' meals.

As soon as Jin Qing stepped into the village, the neighbor Aunt Bolt was like seeing a savior, patting her thigh and saying anxiously: "Jin Qing, you are back!" ”

Jin Qing wondered, "Auntie, what's the matter?" ”

Aunt Zhu couldn't help but say that she pulled Jin Qing and walked forward, and said as she walked: "Zhu Lao Xiang led his eldest son to your house to make trouble!" Your uncle is persuading you on the side, you hurry up and go home and have a look! ”

Jin Qing was taken aback, her feet didn't stop, and she hurriedly asked, "We don't know them well, why are you coming to my house to make trouble?" Zhu Laowu opened a grocery store in the village, everyone called him "Lao Xiang", he came and went, his real name was not called by anyone, he was the richest "big family" in the village, and he did not have any contact with Jinqing's family on weekdays.

Aunt Bolt pulled Jin Qing to explain as she walked, and Jin Qing understood what was going on.

The rule of Zhujia Village is that as long as a man is born in the village, he will be given a piece of homestead land to the man. Zhu Lao Xiang has a total of three sons, the youngest son only lived to be six years old, in the summer greedy to play and sneak into the pit to swim in the water and stab the fierce son, the child who went to play together waited for a long time and did not see him come up, and when the adults were called to fish him up, he had already drowned.

Zhu Laoxiang's youngest son died, but the homestead assigned to his son's head is still there, there are many homesteads in the village, and no one cares about him taking it back, and there are many superstitious taboos in the countryside, and no one wants the homestead of the dead, for fear that there will be something unclean.

When Jinqing's mother fled to Zhujia Village with Jinqing and Mama Liu, she gave the patriarch a few silver hairpins, and the patriarch took pity on them and helped them find a piece of wasteland, which was located between Uncle Zhuzi's house and the homestead of Zhu's youngest son, and helped Jinqing's family build two small adobe houses.

Not long after settling down, Jinqing's mother died of postpartum hemorrhage when she gave birth to her younger brother Jinzhi, and after Mama Liu took Jinqing to finish the funeral, she went up the mountain to cut some bamboo, picked up some branches and built a stove room.

Jinqing's family belongs to outsiders in Zhujia Village, and naturally they will not know about these things about Chen sesame and rotten grain, and when Mama Liu restarted the stove house, she didn't pay attention to it, and when she hit the pillar, she occupied a place about a foot wide to the east, that is, it occupied the homestead of Zhu Lao's dead youngest son.

I had already seen the lively idlers to report to Zhu Laoxiang, Zhu Laoxiang was furious when he heard it, he was "wealthy" in Zhujia Village, and the patriarch was polite to him.

When Jin Qing ran to the house out of breath, he saw Zhu Lao Xiang wearing a short shirt, standing in his yard with his bare shoulders and waist in his face, and his middle-aged son Zhu Neng behind him was standing behind him like a thug.

Jin Qing looked at the hooligan appearance of Zhu Lao's father and son, and his teeth were clucking, is there such a bully, two big men came to bully orphans and widows, it's really not a thing!

Uncle Zhuzi saw that Jinqing was coming, and smiled at Zhu Laoxiang: "Uncle Lao, Sister-in-law Liu, she is not a foreigner, don't you know what's going on?" This stove and house are all erected, and they occupy such a palm-sized land, all of which belong to the villagers, don't worry about their orphans and widows! ”

Zhu Lao Xiang raised his nose and breathed, before he could speak, the eldest son Zhu Neng behind him was not happy, and shouted with his waist crossed: "Why, why don't you let it, don't let it care, occupy my family, my family's land is my family, dang, when our family is good, it's easy to bully!" They are also, and their surname is not Zhu, who, who follows, with their villagers? "Zhu Neng is a stammer, and he stutters even more in a hurry.

Zhu Lao Xiang snorted, "I, Zhu Lao Xiang, can't be sorry for my son who died in vain, his homestead is also his when he arrives in the Netherworld!" ”

Jin Qing walked to the landlord of the stove and looked at it, and asked Uncle Bolt, "Where did the homestead of the old Zhu family start?" ”

Uncle Bolt sighed, pointed to the two crooked-necked jujube trees that were seventy or eighty meters apart from the north and south, and said, "These two trees are his family's homestead to the east." ”

Jin Qing squinted his eyes and looked at the two jujube trees with the thickness of Jin Zhi's calves, if no one said, the ghost knew that it was the dividing line of the homestead. There is no obvious sign of the division of land among rural people, and a tree or a stone may become a dividing line.

Jin Qing pulled Mama Liu, carefully wiped her tears with her sleeve, removed the medicine box and walked to Zhu Laoxiang, stood still, frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

There is no copper plate to ask for money, this is Jinqing's subtext.

Zhu Neng looked at Jin Qing's thin little body, snorted, and said, "I, I'm talking to your family, adults, you, you don't intervene!" ”

Jin Qing also snorted coldly, "I'll talk to your father, and you won't intervene!" ”

Zhu Neng couldn't hold it on his face, and just as he was about to roll up his sleeves, Zhu Lao Xiang glanced at him, and Zhu Neng shut up stupidly.

Zhu Laoxiang squinted his eyes and looked at Jin Qing, this girl knocked her head some time ago, I heard that she was going to die and suddenly came back to life, some time ago I heard that it was shaved bark and weeds and soaked sheep intestines, and a big pot was boiled a bunch of messy things, and the people in the village said that this girl knocked her head and went crazy, but who knew that within two days, she picked up the medicine box and learned to sell medicine in Fang Lang to make money!

Zhu Laoxiang was always a little uncertain about Jinqing in his heart, and always felt that this girl was full of evil energy, Zhu Laoxiang coughed and said: "Our family is not an unreasonable person, but you can't occupy our family's land so plainly, you have to return the occupied land!" ”

Uncle Zhu is a little anxious, this old Zhu is obviously forcing orphans and widows to demolish their houses!

Jin Qing looked at it, the stove room had already set up bamboo shelves, and bamboo mats were also laid, just waiting for the top to be covered with branches and straw to cover the rain. Zhu Laoxiang just saw that his family was an outsider, and no one in the village supported them to be so arrogant.

"Okay, we'll tear down the house and return as much as you want." Jin Qing stared at Zhu Laoxiang and said.

Zhu Neng was startled, he didn't expect Jin Qing to agree so quickly, Zhu Lao Xiang stared at Jin Qing suspiciously, Jin Qing said with a cold face: "What? Demolished the house and you are not satisfied? ”

As soon as Jin Qing said this, Zhu Laoxiang was stunned, bullying orphans and widows to force people to demolish the house, and the reputation would stink, since everyone agreed to demolish the stove house, what is the point of entangled by himself.

When Zhu Lao Xiang took Zhu Neng away, Aunt Zhu brought Jin Zhi over from her own house, and said with an apologetic smile: "Just now I was afraid that Zhu Lao Xiang's two things would hurt the child, so I brought Jin Zhi to my house first." ”

Jin Qing pulled Jin Zhi and said with a smile: "I have to thank my aunt!" ”

Aunt Bolt sighed and said, "Thank you, they are all neighbors, and they should be taken care of." It's just that, Jinqing, do you really want to tear down this newly built stove? ”

Mama Liu had red eyes and looked at Jin Qing with a sad face, Jin Qing took a deep breath, pulled Jin Zhi with one hand, and Mama Liu with the other, and said, "Demolish!" Not only does it have to be demolished, but the whole village knows that Zhu Laoxiang forced our family to demolish the house! ”

Jin Qing has his own abacus in his heart, seeing that it is about to be the height of summer, there are many heavy rains, and the stove room has to be flooded at this time of year, and it can't be used at all, Jin Qing originally wanted to demolish the current one, and then build a solid adobe stove house, which is better than this bamboo straw erection.

But he was forced to demolish it like this, and Jin Qing couldn't swallow a bad breath in his heart.

Jin Zhi was seven or eight years old, and he could understand what was happening, clenched his small fists, and said in a rough voice: "When I grow up, they will definitely beat them and dare not bully us anymore!" ”

Jin Qing touched Jin Zhi's head and said to Jin Zhi: "Now my sister has given you a task, go to the patriarch's grandfather's house, and say that Zhu Lao Xiang wants to force us to demolish the house, the reason is to occupy his youngest son's homestead, this house is also the patriarch's uncle's, our orphans and widows have no manpower, please Uncle Zhu Xun to help demolish the house." ”

After Jin Qing crossed, she accepted all the memories of the original body, she knew that the patriarch was old, and when she was a child, she went to the county to study in a private school for two years, and she was neither admitted to Xiucai nor Mr. Shang, but this did not prevent him from claiming to be the only two scholars in Zhujia Village, nor did it prevent him from talking about the great truth of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith.

As Jin Qing expected, after a meal, the white-bearded patriarch came over on crutches accompanied by his son, Jin Qing pinched his thigh, tears broke out in his eyes, and Mama Liu originally felt very wronged, and her eyes were red as a true performance.

Jin Qing pounced on him with tears in her eyes, and said to the patriarch: "Grandpa, this matter shouldn't have bothered you, but Zhu Lao led Zhu Neng and said that this house occupies his son's homestead......"
