085 Liao Landlord (2nd Watch)
Zhao Daya denied Jiang Xian's speculation:
"Fat girl, you don't remember, Landlord Liao's wife left with her son in her early years, some people said that he went abroad, anyway, he has been alone since then, that is, Ma Wu of the barley brigade next door often goes to take care of him, because Ma Wu's father, Old Man Ma, used to be the old housekeeper of the Liao family."
"Except for the Ma family, there is no one else at all?"
Since there is no one else, there is naturally no opportunity to transfer the family property.
Zhao Daya has a good impression of Landlord Liao, and she is a little embarrassed when she thinks of him:
"When the landlord Liao knew that his life was short, it was rumored that Xu Guangguo also lobbied, saying that he could find people in the village to help take care of him, and in the end he only needed to give some property to others, but he was bombarded by the landlord Liao."
Zhao Daya pursed his lips disdainfully, their team secretary, this thing is very criticized, Landlord Liao is not alone for a day or two, Landlord Liao has not been in good health, coughing for many years, why no one will take care of him at that time, and now when people are dying, mentioning this feels like blackmail.
"As a result, after the death of the landlord Liao, the villagers went to his house to see nothing, only to know that the Liao family had fallen into this."
Jiang Xian frowned almost inaudibly, and always felt that something was wrong: "Then who collected the corpse of Landlord Liao?" ”
"It was the whole village that helped to restrain it, no one knew that the landlord Liao died at home, or Ma Wu went to see him the next morning, only to know that he had put on everything in the shroud and was lying on the bed, and the person had lost his breath. The coffin is ready, and it's in the hall. ”
said that the cooking didn't take much care, but it just carried him into the coffin and buried him in the ancestral grave of the Liao family.
The Liao family is a big family in Maishou Village, or rather, a well-known big family that includes the five surrounding brigades where Maishou Village is located.
I heard that the ancestor was a great squire who returned to his hometown in the Ming Dynasty, and the large area around the wheat harvest brigade was all his family's fertile land, and the people around him were all tenants of his family.
The ancestral grave of the Liao family is not in Maishou Village, but in the barley brigade, which used to be the territory of the Liao family.
"Then who owns the Liao family's house now?"
Jiang Xian asked while thinking about which house Landlord Liao's house was.
On the border between Maishou Village and the barley brigade, there is a big house, and there is a lot of grass growing around it, and there are many creepers crawling on the wall, black, black, green and green, layer on top of each other, and even the door is tightly covered by grass.
The Jiang family and the boundary of the land are two completely opposite directions, she can't go there in her spare time, only when she first came, she wanted to familiarize herself with the road in the village, and walked over once, and heard a child say that it was a haunted house, and she was quite scoffing.
The most terrible thing in this world has always been the human heart, and there is nothing terrible about ghosts.
About that place is the house of the landlord Liao.
"I heard that the landlord Liao left a suicide note, saying that the house belonged to the Ma family, but Ma Wu just wanted it, and Ma Wu's father was still there."
"Old man Ma has a deep affection for Landlord Liao's family, and when he used to have sharp legs and feet, he often went to Liao's house to accompany Landlord Liao, but then he suffered from arthritis, and then he was paralyzed and couldn't go, but he instructed his son to go and see it from time to time."
I heard that on the day that the landlord Liao died, the old man Ma almost cried to death at home, and finally asked Ma Wu to carry him to the ancestral grave of the Liao family, and guarded there for three days before leaving.
The matter of the suicide note came out at that time, but no one in the Ma family went to collect the house, but I heard Ma Wu complain, saying that he mentioned the matter of the house at home, and he was almost broken by the old man.
Jiang Xian didn't comment again, the old man of the Ma family also sounded like a loyal servant, the lord was loyal and loyal, so this Liao landlord was still good to his servants.
Otherwise, the old man would not have talked to him like this.
It's a pity, if the Liao family really started to inherit from the Ming Dynasty, it would be quite bleak to end up in such a desolate situation now.
It's just that Jiang Xian lowered her eyes, she didn't press the table, there were still three catties of nails in the broken boat, a family that had been inherited for many years, and in the end there was nothing, there must be some reason for it.
Someone must have looted their belongings in advance.
But I don't know if it was instructed by the landlord Liao himself, or if some thief stole other people's property.
After chatting about Landlord Liao, it was time for them to get off the bus.
The two stood on the street, Jiang Xian leaned over and looked at the address, the address was written in detail, and even a few routes were drawn below, which was clear at a glance.
The two of them carried two boxes of malt milk essence and two cans of tea, and headed for their destination.
On the way, Zhao Daya reminded Jiang Xian: "My sister doesn't rest today, so she can't accompany us, she said, her aunt is actually very easy to talk to, and she is also very kind, but pay more attention to etiquette, when we go, let's be vigilant, don't let people think we are rude." ”
Jiang Xian nodded: "Don't worry, just this little thing, won't I pretend?" ”
Zhao Daya glanced at Jiang Xian: "You still know that you need to pretend, just don't scare people away with your poor mouth?" You just have to keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense. ”
Jiang Xian covered her mouth and made a sealing motion, which made Zhao Daya laugh.
The two of them walked one after the other, and soon came to a boundary, where there were three buildings, said to be the dormitory of the porcelain factory, and the conditions seemed really good.
The two entered from the door, Zhao Daya stepped forward and said to the doorman that it was a relative of Chen Yan's family, and the doorman aunt was wearing a sweater, looked up and down at the two of them, and on Jiang Xian, her eyes stayed for a long time.
After a long time, she shouted: "Oh, how can there be such a beautiful girl?" She's coming here, girl? Are you a relative of Director Chen's family? Who is her family? Is there a target? ”
Jiang Xian: "......" has no object, nor is she a relative of Director Chen, she is here to ask someone to do something.
Fortunately, Zhao Daya pulled the doorman aunt: "Auntie, this is my sister, our name is Director Chen's cousin, do you want to call and ask?" ”
The doorman was not very happy to be interrupted, she picked up the phone and called upstairs, muttering, "Your sister? It doesn't look like it, I'm going to hear from her. ”
The eyes stared at Jiang Xian directly, and he was not afraid of dialing the wrong phone.
Jiang Xian: "Auntie, I am really her sister, Director Chen is our aunt, today my aunt is on vacation, let's come to see her." ”
As he was talking, someone answered the phone over there, and the aunt here reported her name, and Jiang Xian heard the aunt upstairs shouting downstairs: "...... Director Chen, Director Chen Yan, your relatives have come to your house, let them come up? ”
What was said over there, the aunt here heard it, waved her hand and let it go: "Go ahead." ”
The two breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went upstairs.
Auntie is too enthusiastic and too overwhelming.
