Xu Changshou and the others stopped and walked up the hill and turned around the edge of the cliff. The renovated kiln shed appeared in front of them, and the strength they had just mustered loosened.
They rested crookedly against the tree trunks.
"God, this road is really difficult to walk. I don't want to walk it a second time." Xu Changshou gasped for air, feeling smoke rising from his throat.
"That's right, as long as I have a bite to eat, I don't want to come here." Xu Yaozu pulled his sleeves to wipe his sweat.
Next to her, Yaozu's wife licked her chapped lips, resisting the pain of carrying her child alone and reminded her: "Xiaobao is hungry, let's come over quickly and let uncle cook and kill the rabbit!"
Xiaobao didn't want to step down and walk. He just lay on his mother's back and moaned: "Mom, I want to eat eggs, noodles and meat."
As soon as they talked about food, they mustered up their last strength and stumbled towards the houses along the gravel road.
In the courtyard, Little Man was looking up at the sky with his hands behind his hands, as motionless as a clay or wood sculpture.
However, when he saw the four people appearing in embarrassment in front of him, he lowered his eyelids in slight surprise, turned around and entered the house... and closed the door!
Seeing a bunch of dried radishes and dried sweet potatoes hanging under the eaves, Xu Changgeng, who was full of joy, was rejected before he could speak. He jumped up in anger and cursed: "Xu Changgeng, you turtle bastard, I I worked so hard to climb up the mountain to see if you were dead, but you didn’t even open the door!”
The cold voice of Mr. Xiaoman came from the door: "I'm not dead. I won't die even if you die."
Seeing that the situation was bad, Xu Yaozu quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Uncle, our family is thinking about you outside every day, and... Dazhu and Xiaoman! Open the door and let us go in to talk."
Little Man is still cold: "There's nothing to say. I've long since stopped recognizing him. You guys should get out of here."
Xu Changshou was the elder in the village, and everyone in the Xujia village had to give him some respect. Previously, he was slapped in the face by Mr. Man, and the two families stopped interacting with each other at all.
But now that I was begging shamelessly, I had to endure the embarrassment and say softly: "Brother Chang Geng, I have a straight temper. Please bear with me when I said wrong things before."
There's no movement inside!
Xu Changshou blushed, and Xu Yaozu quickly pulled him back to stop his anger.
Xu Changshou gritted his teeth and continued softly: "Brother Chang Geng, I was wrong and you scolded me and beat me when you deserved. But Yaozu and Xiaobao didn't offend you, right? You are still their uncle no matter what, and the children come to their door." When I come to see you, you can’t close the door and just ignore it!”
"Uncle!"
"Grandpa!"
Xu Yaozhu and Xu Xiaobao started shouting, and Yaozu's wife also burst into tears.
Xu Changshou acted unruly and slapped the door panel loudly: "I don't care anyway, I come to this door, if you don't open it, I will hit you to death."
In the room, Xiao Manye closed his eyes and his fingers trembled slightly.
This is a blood relative. When his family is in trouble, he refuses to help or say anything, and wants Dazhu to die. Now that his family can barely survive, he sticks to him again.
Next to Mr. Xiao Man, Xiao Mannai shook his head and sighed: "This is a thing where the whole family is rotten and there is no way to get rid of the girls even after they get married!"
Xiaoman's face was livid, and he clenched his fists: "Master, grandma, let me go out and beat them to death. There is no reason why I can't make a sound even if I'm forced to the door."
Young Master Ding of the same family, Aunt Jiang used to be a wild person in the village. Although she had a bad reputation, no one dared to bully her.
Grandma has developed the habit of keeping things quiet. She restrains her family members in everything and tries not to make noise with others. Now she even has people blocking the door.
In fact, there was only a door panel separating the inside and outside of the door, and there was a finger-width gap in the middle. Xu Yaozu and the others had already seen and heard what was going on inside.
Seeing that Xiao Man was there, he immediately shouted: "Little nephew, I am your Uncle Yaozu. Open the door quickly. Your father is an old fool. You must learn to be sensible and stop worrying about things like that..."
It was okay if he didn't say it, but when he said it, Xiaoman couldn't hold back his anger and came up: "Don't worry about it, right? Then you should be more lenient!"
As he spoke, he opened the door. Before Xu Yaozu could laugh, he was slapped in the face with a broom: "Who the hell is your uncle? I don't know, get out!"
Xiaoman has learned to be more sensible now. He doesn't mention his green stick inlaid with sharp stones, and only uses a newly tied broom.
But Xu Yaozu was still stunned. His nosebleed started to flow out, and he kept retreating while shouting "Alas".
When Xu Changgeng saw his son being beaten, he immediately rushed over and grabbed Xiaoman: "Xu Changgeng, a junior in your family dares to beat an elder, and you have raised such a rebellious and unfilial creature.
No wonder the ancestors punish you by killing your son and then your grandson, and by punishing your son to death and harming your grandson.
I want to tell everyone in the Xu family that they all know where your family's bad luck comes from and see which girl dares to marry into it. "
The words made Mr. Xiao Man's face turn pale.
The early death of his son and daughter-in-law and the injury of his grandson made him blame himself every night, repeatedly thinking whether he had done something wrong to make his ancestors angry.
This is his pain point, and it is also where the Xu family can easily hurt him. It even made him give up on himself when the whole village was fleeing.
"Stop!" Xiao Man Ye roared angrily.
Xiao Man stopped, but Xu Yaozu was beating Xiao Man, but Yaozu's wife did not let go. She still held on to Xiao Man's clothes and shouted that she was beaten to death!
Xu Yaozu wiped his face with blood, grinned and said: "My heart hurts, my head hurts, I was beaten!"
At this moment, Nini, who was sleeping alone in the room, was woken up.
She got dressed by herself, opened the door and rubbed her eyes and came out. When she saw a stranger coming outside and starting a fight with her uncle, she was immediately frightened and shouted in a sweet voice: "Master!"
Jiang Zhi and Xu Errui also arrived, shouting to stop.
In fact, when Xu Changshou and the others entered the hospital, they only exchanged a few words before starting a fight.
Seeing Mrs. Jiang, Xu Yaozu said warily: "This is none of your business, so don't meddle in her own business."
Jiang Zhi put his hand on his waist: "Your voice is so loud that it scares my chickens from going home. Isn't that considered a noisy matter?"
Xu Changshou was tired and hungry now. He was thinking about how to let others take care of him with confidence, but he didn't have the energy to mess around with this shrew. He pulled his son and said: "Don't mess with her, an unrelated woman. "
He immediately said to Jiang Zhi: "This is a matter between the men in our house. You, a widow from a side house, came to point fingers and broke the rules."
Now he has to follow the rules again.
Talk about fists with honest people, and be reasonable with evil people. He can't fry tofu that is yellow on both sides.
Jiang Zhi stood with a frown. This was Mr. Xiao Man's family matter. Without Mr. Xiao Man taking the initiative to speak, it would be difficult for him to interfere, otherwise the proud and stubborn old man would be troubled.
Mr. Xiaoman suppressed his anger: "I told you, if you don't recognize me, you can go away on your own. Don't talk nonsense here!"
Xu Changshou almost lost half his life before he came up. He was unwilling to leave. He sat down on the threshold and shouted to Xiaoman, "Sister-in-law, bring some food. Otherwise, I won't be able to keep my mouth shut when I go back. Xiaoman won't even think about it." Looking for a wife.
Haha, where is your Dazhu? Why didn't you see him come out? He must have died long ago, right?
He will leave behind a useless girl. If Xiaoman loses his reputation again, your family will be wiped out. "
This is a naked threat, and it is also the most deadly tool in the countryside where society is humane. A drop of spit can kill someone!
Dazhu was not at home at this time, and the couple was busy in the cellar on the other side of the terrace.
I have finished harvesting an old crop of fungus, and I am trying to drill holes in the sticks to inoculate the fungus.
Jiang Zhi did not notify them of Xu Changshou's arrival for the time being, lest Xu Dazhu would not be able to help and worry.
