Chapter 93 Going against the grain
Villagers are often like this. They speculate and discuss privately for a while. Once the freshness wears off, no matter how outlandish they are, they will naturally disappear. [ ] The incident of Wu Xiaojun's house being stolen by Qianjin left a deep impression on everyone in the village.
The lingering shadow, fear and uneasiness are always lingering in the mind. Everyone is secretly targeting and guarding against a few special characters in the village, lest they touch their nerves and cause trouble.
Wu Pingshun and the others had just had breakfast that day. They originally planned to go to the fields to pick mung beans with Wu Xiaojun, but it rained at night. They had nothing to do and were about to go out to play mahjong. Wu Pingchun came home with an expressionless face and said, "Two
Brother, my young lady’s mother-in-law passed away last night.”
Wu Pingshun asked in surprise, "Isn't the old lady always in good health? I haven't heard of any disease she had, so how could she pass away just like that?"
Wu Pingchun said, "No one knows when she died. She was fine last night. She was busy until about ten o'clock. She made more than thirty kilograms of noodles and prepared to bake sesame cakes with my eldest sister early in the morning. It was probably around five o'clock.
At 1 o'clock in the morning, my eldest sister went to call her at home, but there was no answer no matter how she called. The fan kept blowing. My eldest sister opened the mosquito net and pushed it with her hands. She felt something was wrong. Her nose and face were cold when she touched them.
The old man was found to have expired."
Wu Pingshun said, "That's right. It may be an acute illness, but that's fine. There's no pain and no symptoms. Let's go now."
After the two of them finished talking, they went to Wu Lian's house in Nanguan, the county town, under umbrellas.
Wu Lian was very pretty and elegant when she was young. She was one of the few high school graduates and could be called an intellectual woman with both talent and beauty. Her elder brother Wu Pingming was in jail, which caused great trouble to her family. It also had a negative impact on her emotional problems.
It also had a great impact. The children of landlords and rich peasants disliked the family's bad background, and their family members and themselves were unwilling to marry. The children of old families with clean histories and poor and lower-middle peasant families stayed away, and no one wanted to marry.
In this way, my marriage was delayed again and again. Later, under the introduction of my eldest sister Wu Xue, I had to marry Ma Wencheng, the only son whose father was a bandit and was shot, and whose mother remarried and worked in the county lumber company. Shortly after the marriage, Wu Lian
Was assigned to work in the county leather factory.
Although the young couple lived in poverty, they could still get by. As they grew older and their three children gradually grew up, Ma Wencheng took his mother over to live with him as a filial piety to his son so that he could provide for the elderly in the future.
Retirement and death.
Mrs. Ma was a low-key and gentle person, hard-working and kind-hearted. She had been making sesame cakes for most of her life, so everyone called her the "Old Lady of Sesame Breads". As she got older, it became more difficult to work, so she handed over the sesame cake stall to Wu Xue, who retired from home early.
But she was used to working hard and didn't want to enjoy her leisure time at home, so she often took the initiative to help Wu Xue.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Pingshun returned home with a melancholy look and said to Wu Xiaojun, mother and son, "Mrs. Ma plans to be buried at the north end of the land in the south of our village, which is less than thirty meters into the ground."
."
Wu Xiaojun asked in confusion, "Didn't they say that she was going to be buried at the south end of my uncle's land, and they also asked a Feng Shui master to show it, so why did she suddenly want to be buried in our land again? That land is three
It is the largest piece of land in our family, with more than an acre, and we have discussed it as a new land for our family in the future. If she moves in, one grave at each end, it will definitely not work, and our family will not be able to use it in the future."
Wu Xiaojun's wife said, "Actually, it doesn't matter. I never believe in Feng Shui or Feng Shui. I just think it's inconvenient to grow crops with a grave on a large piece of land. It's a pity."
Wu Pingshun sighed and said, "I knew before that Ping Ming's words were inaccurate. I had a better relationship with the old lady at that time, but I just wanted to make the old lady happy. Now it's not surprising that when it comes to real things, I just act like a coward." He said
Why can't he be his own child's home? How many people have told him that they don't agree to bury people. Erni's family has no land in the city. At this time, where can they find a cemetery? If the body cannot be buried and placed at home, it is not a problem.
, Ma Wencheng and Erni were in great trouble. I couldn't bear to see Erni embarrassed and worried, so I agreed to let the old lady bury it in our field. In the afternoon, Mr. Feng Shui and a few people went to our house to see if it was buried in the land.
At the south end of the land in the south of the village, the path was too narrow, and the corn grew very vigorously, so too much was damaged along the way. The north end was a big road, so it would not destroy other people's crops, so I decided to bury it at the north end of the land.
"
Wu Xiaojun and his son said, "Dad, although we have little relationship with Mrs. Ma, it's not a bad idea to help Erni and the others, as we are the closest relatives. What's more, we are doing a good deed to build up virtue. But our family has nothing to do with it."
It’s a pity that they let them bury people in the largest piece of land.”
"Dad, I also agree with my mother's statement. If my uncle doesn't allow the burial, we must let my sister-in-law's family bury her. There's nothing to say. She should be buried in other plots. Aren't all the plots to the west
Can you consider it?"
"I just watched it all. I'm mainly worried about destroying too many crops. Otherwise, I'll tell them early tomorrow morning to change the place. I almost forgot that when I was having dinner at Erni's house at noon today, I don't know when Ping Ming will change the place.
When my wife told Xiaofu about burying our land, Xiaofu went to Erni's house angrily and lost his temper without saying a word, saying that the land belonged to him and no one could take charge of it, and no one could do it without his consent.
Buried. Everything sounds wrong to me. Now that I’m not dead, I’m brazenly saying that it’s his. How can I let him do this? I still have the final say in this family. He can do whatever he wants. I definitely won’t agree to it.
, there was a big quarrel on the spot. The more they refused to bury me, the more I had to let them bury me. Let’s see what he could do to me.”
When Wu Xiaojun's wife heard this, she became angry and said angrily, "This Ping Ming knows a lot, but he doesn't do business. He breaks his promise and feels that he can't live up to it. Instead, he encourages Xiaofu to jump out and jump around. His intentions are very evil.
, it’s really irritating. In this case, no matter what their purpose and intentions are, we must not let them manipulate us this time. We must do the opposite. Even if we don’t want Erniniang to be buried here, we must let her be buried. Resolutely and
They twisted to the end.”
Wu Xiaojun said with a serious face, "Dad, you don't know if you don't tell me. But when you say this, I feel that things are not that simple. Over the years, the eldest brother and the second brother have repeatedly made trouble and caused troubles, all with the purpose of watching the tigers.
Take a look at these acres of land. Taking advantage of this opportunity, coupled with the fact that the uncle is adding fuel to the fire behind his back, he will certainly not give up and may do something with his character that is easily provoked.
Come, but be mentally prepared."
