After he said this confidently, he turned to Yang Dahua and spoke quietly in a breathy tone.
"Don't forget, when I bought it, the names of my three sons were written on the land deed. Your step-brother went with me to handle this matter. Later, we will go directly to your step-brother's house and talk to him first. ."
"If you really go to the county government, just say it was a gift from him. Anyway, he is a salesman and has no children. He often travels around and gets windfalls. He wants to rely on our son to support him in the future, so it is normal to buy land and give it as a gift. ."
Yang Dahua had long forgotten that the reason why the names of her three sons were written directly on the land deed was because she was afraid that the children would be separated due to the separation of the family in the future.
Too many people in the village ended up unfairly separated due to their parents' favoritism, causing brothers to become enemies.
The couple had discussed it secretly before buying the seven acres of land.
Write the eldest name on the four acres. After all, as the eldest, he has contributed the most to the family and will provide for the couple in the future.
Of the remaining three acres, the second child has two acres and the third child has one acre.
Just because the money for the second son to go to Fucheng to learn a craft was given by his family. And in the future, he will also have skills at hand, so he can make a living no matter where he is.
Although the third child is young, it costs money to study, and the money is earned by the eldest child together with them.
An acre is a lot for him.
He is literate, and even if he fails to pass the examination, he can still find a job as a bookkeeper in the county town, and his life will definitely be better than that of the eldest and second eldest brother.
It's just that only the old couple knew about this. After buying the land, she kept the title deed herself and never showed it to her children.
After a long time, she forgot about it. She only knew that they bought it with the money from Wang Can's family selling their house and land.
When she heard her man mention it, she remembered it and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes, this can explain clearly the origin of the seven acres of fertile land in Wan Village.
She didn't think of it just now, otherwise she would have fought back immediately.
Those two scoundrels kept saying that they were some kind of robbers and that the source of their money was unknown.
Isn't it because they are sure they can't explain the origin of the land purchase money?
Wait, they will sue if they can.
When they arrived at the Yamen, there was no evidence that the money belonged to her, Wang Can, and they had witnesses who proved that the money to buy the land was from a clean source, so it was a false accusation.
If he is falsely accused, not to mention whether he will be imprisoned, he will definitely be punished anyway.
Humph, it's better to kill those two bastards.
Liu Dongsheng, a well-behaved young man, was separated from his wife by not being treated by her husband's family, who had no choice but to harm her.
What if all the daughters-in-law in the village imitated her?
They said Mrs. Liu was cruel and wanted to kill her.
In her opinion, Mrs. Li had aborted the child herself, and then deliberately slandered Mrs. Liu while she was not at home.
Just wait, when Mrs. Liu comes back, she will definitely take care of her!
There is another one who is a white-eyed wolf, thanks to her hard work and support for eight years.
Although she got some money, her family also raised her, right?
Without their family, she would be a little orphan, guarding so much money and land in a village with no relatives, and it would be strange not to be bullied to death.
Perhaps the fields and houses had been robbed long ago, and the people were not known where they were sold.
Bah, such good intentions are not rewarded!
Wang Can had no idea what Yang Dahua was thinking.
After she and Li Yuan got on the bullock cart, they were unusually silent.
Li Yuan, who had read the book, knew that after Yang Dahua and his wife were revealed by Wang Can, who was in urgent need of money to stock up on goods, she used Yang Dahua's sworn brother as an excuse.
The sworn brother originally promised well and said he would help them.
Unexpectedly, in the end, he didn’t know why, but he took money from Yang Dahua and gave it to Wang Can.
This detail was briefly mentioned in the book at the time, but she thought maybe Wang Can also knew that person and had a pretty good relationship with him.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan, who decided to complete the plot of the book ahead of schedule, was ready to pull out all the stops.
The rules in Lijia'ao are different from many places nowadays.
People here don't think miscarriage is a bad thing. They think that as long as you are in good health, you can go anywhere you want.
Therefore, most of them were women who had miscarriages, or women who went to work in the fields within a few days of giving birth.
Because of this custom, no one thought there was anything wrong with Li Yuan going to the county town.
No, after the bullock cart left the village, Li Yuan said next to Wang Can.
"Can Niang, we made such a fuss with them today. If we don't resolve this matter, it will affect your reputation and our business in the future. I think we must write this petition, and we must go to the Yamen to file a complaint.
But I'm afraid they will take advantage of this time to think of ways to rationalize the origin of those seven acres of land. For example, they happened to know that someone in Congwan Village wanted to sell land, so he asked someone to borrow money or something like that.
Think about it, there are people Yang Dahua and Zhao Dazhu know who might be able to help them? "
Although Wang Can has lived in the Zhao family for eight years, there is endless work to do every day when he opens his eyes, so how can he pay attention to it.
Hearing this, she shook her head honestly: "Sister Yuan, I am ordered around every day, and I rarely even go to the county seat. How can I know who they know.
Who can spend so much money to help them at once? I know that everyone the Zhao family knows is in Shuiyun Village. You should also know this Sister Yuan. "
Li Yuan nodded first, pretending to lower her eyes and ponder for a while before asking: "Can Niang, I heard that Yang Dahua seems to have a adopted brother. Do you know him? Who is he and what does he do?"
Speaking of Yang Dahua's adopted brother, a figure flashed in Wang Can's mind.
The man's name was Wang Maocai, and he was her maternal grandfather's adopted son.
In the past, when her parents were still alive, that person would go to her house every New Year's Day carrying things.
Later, her parents died. After she followed Yang Dahua to Shuiyun Village, she was never seen again.
She still remembered that her mother had talked about Wang Maocai when she was still here.
It is said that he was originally a little beggar on the street. His grandfather saw that he was pitiful and thought that his old wife could not have a child and there was no son in the family, so he simply adopted him as an adopted son.
However, since her mother and Yang Dahua both got married, and the grandfather and his wife were gone again, the uncle sold the house and the land, and the money earned was equally divided between her mother and Yang Dahua, and then he lived alone without a fixed residence. day.
She seemed to vaguely remember that her mother said he was a salesman.
I would buy some cheap things that everyone uses frequently in the county town and walk around the streets.
Occasionally, I would pick up items and sell them in remote places.
After all, she hadn't seen her uncle Wang Maocai for many years, and she didn't know where he lived now, how he was doing, and whether he had a wife?
"Canniang?"
When Li Yuan saw that she was silent and seemed to be recalling something, she knew that she should know her, so she couldn't help but shout again.
Wang Can came to his senses and shook his head and said: "Sister Yuan, the person you are talking about is Uncle Wang Maocai, he is the adopted son of my maternal grandfather.
He used to be a salesman and seemed to live in that big alley in the west of the city. It's just that I haven't seen him in many years. What you said, I think is unlikely. "
Li Yuan followed her words and said, "Since you still have this relative, why don't you go see him later? I'm going to buy rice noodles and iron pots later.
When you finish reading, we will meet at the entrance of Banyan Tree Lane in the east of the city? I happened to ask Brother Xie to help me write the petition, and asked him to take us to the Yamen and pay the rent for the stall. "
