Xing Rui looked at her godmother who looked a little strange and walked over.
He stopped her shoulder and looked over where her eyes were meowing.
"What's the matter, godmother?"
It was the neighbor Xu Deyun's family, and they were building a fence with their two young men.
Xu Deyun, who is in his mid-30s, usually has good relations with the villagers and likes to gamble.
Two sons and one daughter.
The daughter is the eldest, very capable and has a tomboy personality.
But she is tall and handsome, and many families in the village are eager to marry such a capable girl as their wife.
My name is Xu Dachun. She is seventeen this year, so she can be considered a big girl.
But because she was so good at work, her family was not in a hurry to find her a husband.
I have two sons. The eldest son is as tall as the eldest sister. He is fourteen this year.
Although the youngest son is small, he looks like his mother from the very beginning.
I am ten years old, and I am obviously not very tall.
However, a person with a very useful brain is, in common people's words, a wilting and bad person.
Aunt Xu seems to be very talkative, but secretly she is quite stingy and loves to take advantage.
When the original owner Silly Mother was alive, the Xu family never bullied Silly Mother.
It was the eldest son who had done something to the silly girl several times when no one was around.
Even though Silly Girl is stupid, she is still quite sensitive about that kind of thing.
The reason why she has been able to maintain her integrity all these years is because she still has a sense of shame and knows that doing so is disrespectful and wrong.
Xing Rui also had a dumb smile when she thought of this.
Then Aunt Xu’s eldest son is only fourteen years old this year, how could he have such dirty thoughts?
"You see, this family puts up a fence as soon as spring comes, and the mice don't get up as early as they do."
It turns out that this family is actually very capable of working.
Oh, no, except for Xu Deyun and the eldest son, the other three are all people who work risking their lives.
"What's wrong with building a fence, godmother?"
Xing Rui didn't understand. It was his business to build a fence. Why was his godmother so angry?
"Silly girl, you don't know, ugh,"
As she spoke, Mrs. Wang also sighed heavily,
"They are not building a fence! They are using the excuse of building a fence to eat up my land year after year."
Xing Rui still doesn't understand.
"Eat the territory?"
"You girl, if you don't believe me, you will understand after you go over and take a look. Alas, your godfather and I have lived with our neighbors for so many years, and our family has just taken away six or seven ridges of land.
But we are dumb and can only eat Coptis chinensis, and we can’t tell the pain! Alas..."
As she spoke, Mrs. Wang sighed again,
"Let's go, stop looking and get to work."
When Xing Rui saw that her godmother was full of anger, she felt lonely and suspicious.
Walking into the garden, Xing Rui thought for a while and walked towards Xu Deyun's family.
As she walked, Xing Rui saw a pair of sneaky eyes staring at her.
This is none other than Xu Dafeng, the eldest son of the family.
"Auntie, why are you building a fence so early?"
"Hey, isn't this a stupid bitch? Why, I heard that you accepted Sister-in-law Wang as your godmother?"
"Oh yes,"
Xing Rui came over, and Xu Dachun was digging a trench with a shovel, bending over.
Two young men came here holding a fence cut back from the mountain. Xu Deyun was in charge of erecting the fence.
The division of labor in the family is very clear.
"They say your family is the most diligent in the village, and I really believe it now. Every family is busy going to the mountains to pick wild vegetables.
But your family is busy building fences, you are really capable."
As he said this, Xing Rui also saw what his godmother meant by 'eating the territory'.
Xing Rui stood here, watching helplessly as Xu Dachun dug the ditch for the fence in the field on his godmother's side.
This means that once a fence is built at their house every year, half a ridge of land will be taken over from the godmother's side.
If this continues, within a few years, this garden will become her family's territory?
Xing Rui smiled,
"Dachun, are you digging something wrong?"
Xu Dachun, who was working with his head down, stopped when he heard this. He was already sweating so early in the morning. He is really capable.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Dachun raised his head and looked towards Xing Rui, where was his eyes suddenly startled?
Is this person still a stupid girl? She has obviously become whiter and thinner, and even her eyes have become bigger.
The whole person looks much better. Instead of looking like a woman with a man, she looks like a little girl who has not yet left the court.
"You didn't do it right. You came to my godmother's house."
"You must have bad eyesight. I dug according to my old fence. How could I dig it wrong?"
Xu Dachun really told lies with his eyes wide open, and his face didn't even turn red.
"Come on, it's useless for us to talk. Let's speak with facts. Don't act like I have wronged someone."
Xing Rui walked over and pulled down an old fence one by one.
Just as he was about to measure the old fence, Xu Deyun finally spoke.
"Do you have the right to talk here? Why don't you just stay and relax."
Ah……
Xing Rui didn't want to be impatient, but some people couldn't bear it, so Xing Rui naturally didn't have to think about uncle or aunt.
"Uncle Xu, it's wrong for you to talk like that. We live next to each other, and my godmother and godfather have been bullied by you all these years. Let's forget it.
You guys are looking at it with your eyes wide open, look at it."
Xing Rui pointed at the earthen warehouse next to her godfather's house and said.
"The barn must have been built for more than ten years, right? Take a closer look. Is your fence outside or inside the barn?"
"Why, their warehouse is on our territory. We haven't said anything yet. Why are you calling here? You big fool."
Xu Deyun finally started to curse people, which made it more and more obvious that this person was in the wrong.
Xing Rui gave Xu Deyun a sneer and turned to look at Aunt Xu.
"Aunt Xu, do you think it's good for your neighbor to do this?"
"Silly girl, don't say such nonsense, it will make us seem to be bullying Sister-in-law Wang and the others. Whose fence is not set up like this?
Although you have accepted Mrs. Wang as your godmother, you don’t know the reason why it is best not to get involved.
Dachun, hurry up and dig, this is finished today, there is still a lot of work to be done."
Xu Dachun spit hard into his hands, glanced at Xing Rui disdainfully, picked up the shovel and continued working.
Xing Rui saw that this family was determined to complete the fence. If he argued with them, he would definitely start a fight.
"Girl, girl, come here, let's work, let's work..."
The godmother called Xing Rui, and Xing Rui wiped out the few people in this family who simply regarded her as nothing.
He bit the corner of his mouth hard, showed a weird smile and left.
"Godmother, don't worry, I have a way to deal with them."
"Girl, forget it, we have lived next to each other for so many years, they can do whatever they like.
Don't quarrel with them, because no one can make a fortune in this place, alas!"
