Ancestral House(5)
"I remember that the court had made it clear that you would be asked to stop working." Lawyer Wang patted Zhong Nuanyang's worried hand and signaled her to rest assured: "You guys are breaking the law, understand?" ”
Zhong Mei saw that the people around her were gathering more and more, she simply got up and grabbed the nearest old man: "Mother Wang, look at your nephew, he took other people's money and did it to me, he saw that our orphans and widows had no support, and there was no man in the family......" She said with tears streaming into her eyes, and the old man next to her was on crutches and spoke in a dialect that Zhong Nuanyang couldn't understand, and from time to time he pointed at Lawyer Wang with his cane, as if he was reproaching him.
"Grandma, let's go home for dinner." A dark-skinned little boy came in from the crowd, took his grandmother's arm and walked out, greeting Lawyer Wang as he walked: "Uncle, my mother has let you go to the house for dinner after you are busy." ”
Lawyer Wang agreed with a smile, and turned his head to look at Zhong Mei, who was still angry and deliberately inciting the enthusiasm of the people around her.
"Folks, you have to know who the lawyer is, if he dares to bully me today, he can bully you tomorrow...... You're just letting him run amok like that? Sooner or later, there will be a time for you to cry......"
There were some restless noises around, some agreed, some opposed, Zhong Nuanyang looked at the people around him talking about it, and glanced at Lawyer Wang with some concern.
"What's the matter, is there nothing to do? Uncle Zhong, your cow is eating Zhang Kui's crops......" A voice came from behind the crowd, everyone turned back to follow the sound, and then spontaneously made way for the person who spoke, and a middle-aged man wearing a Mao suit and stepping on duct shoes walked over with his hands behind his back.
"Village chief, you came just in time, you came to judge, I renovated my house, the barrister in this village is looking for all kinds of things, and now he has moved the court out, where do our orphans and widows know what laws, and he is miserable......" Zhong Mei said and began to cry again, looking like a tragic victim.
"Who, who bullied my mom?" A young man with half a cigarette in his mouth rushed in from the crowd with a hoe, and when he saw Zhong Mei glaring at him, he stopped, turned his head again, and saw the village chief staring at him.
"What are you doing here?" The village chief angrily rebuked: "The underworld? Give me your hoe. ”
The young man snorted a little unconvinced, glared at Zhong Nuanyang and Lawyer Wang, and put the hoe that he didn't know where he copied it from his feet: "Everyone knows that Lawyer Wang and you are from this family, and you can't be too partial, everyone is looking at it, isn't it?" ”
A few idle young men who came with him followed Ying He, and they didn't dare to come up because of the majesty of the village chief, but they were still very energetic in fanning the flames on the side.
"Lu Changsheng, your cousin." Lawyer Wang pointed to the young man and said to Zhong Nuanyang. After he finished speaking, he turned to face everyone: "This is Zhong Nuanyang, Zhong Lu's daughter." ”
The crowd sighed for a while, many old people didn't know that Zhong Lu also had a daughter, and the young people didn't know the story between them, but the dispute about the house had more or less spread in the village, and there were rumors that lawyer Wang wanted to occupy the Zhong family's property, so he made up a will.
"You are Zhong Nuanyang?" Lu Changsheng looked at Zhong Nuanyang angrily: "None of us have seen her, how do we know that what you said is true or false?" ”
