"Don't think about it, didn't you see it just now? She has a good relationship with the Zhou family. The younger one of the two brothers behind her is called Wulang. In other words, she has at least five brothers above her. Supporting them is not enough. Can
Make time to help our side?"
"Not to mention that old man Xia Xia met her early and said a lot of bad things about us behind her back. It would be good if she didn't hate us after listening to Xia Xia's crazy words."
Patriarch Xia also nodded, "I didn't want to ask her to do anything. As long as she doesn't stand in the way of Wu Lang and Qi Lang."
The clan elders heard this. It was impossible to say that they had not longed to hold the person in their hands before. Otherwise, why would they have mentioned Zhou Man changing his surname?
Everyone in the Xia family followed to Songhua Lane with complicated thoughts.
The door of Xia's house on Songhua Lane was closed tightly. The guard came forward and knocked on the door for a long time but no one opened it. Man Bao raised the curtain and jumped out of the car. He turned to ask the curious neighbor who poked his head out to see, "Sister, is there no one in their house?"
"
Although her daughter was almost as old as Zhou Man, when she heard her calling her eldest sister, not only did she not feel offended, but she also felt a little complacent. She couldn't help but touch her face and said with a smile: "I haven't seen them today.
The family went out."
A door next door also opened, and Aunt Fan's mother-in-law walked out. Aunt Fan followed behind with bright eyes.
Aunt Fan's mother-in-law glanced at Xia Xia first before looking at Zhou Man. Finally she found the look of an old friend on her face, and then said: "She is at home, I guess she didn't hear her in the backyard."
It was impossible not to hear it. The guard was knocking on the door so loudly that the neighbors could hear it. How could he not hear it?
Man Bao stood there with a frown on his face for a while, thought about it, and then simply took out the house deed and handed it to Magistrate Zhai.
Magistrate Zhai took it inexplicably, "This is..."
Man Bao said: "Let me take a look, sir."
Magistrate Zhai took a look at it. He had read the deed yesterday and there was nothing different about it.
Seeing that he had no objection, Man Bao turned to Daji and said, "Go in and open the door."
Daji took a few steps back, took a few steps forward, and then took off along the wall, crossing the wall and landing in the courtyard.
Not to mention Clan Chief Xia and the elders, even Magistrate Zhai opened their mouths in surprise. Then in their surprise, Daji opened the door from the inside.
Man Bao walked in first, glanced at the relatively clean and tidy yard, nodded slightly, and then turned sideways and said: "Magistrate Zhai, Chief Xia, please come in, and everyone please come in too."
Bai Shan also smiled and asked Magistrate Zhai to come forward.
Magistrate Zhai looked at Zhou Man, then at the house deed in his hand, folded it up silently, put it in his sleeve, and went in.
Patriarch Xia had mixed feelings in her heart. It was indeed stuffed with black sesame seeds, and the smile on her face looked fake, just like her father's.
The elders of the Xia clan finally saw the shadow of someone on Zhou Man. After being silent for a while, they silently walked in.
Aunt Fan looked at it with great interest and whispered: "This lady looks just like her father."
Her mother-in-law said: "Of course father and daughter look alike."
"No, I'm talking about temperament," Aunt Fan said, "It doesn't matter if the face looks similar, the temperament is also similar."
Her mother-in-law glanced at her and said nothing, but followed her in to watch the fun.
Daji had already pushed the door of the main room open. Manbao asked Magistrate Zhai and Chief Xia to sit down, and asked the servants of the Xia family to carry Xia Xia to sit under the head seat, and then asked her parents to sit down.
, except that he did not order anyone to bring tea or water, he acted like a master.
The people hiding in the backyard heard something was wrong. When they quietly looked forward, they found that many people were sitting or standing in the main room of their home. Because there were not enough chairs, the guards also came from the yard and side rooms.
I brought several stools over.
Xia Yi was stunned, and then couldn't hold it any longer. He rushed out with his wife and children, stared at them dumbfounded and said, "You guys, how did you get in?"
Manbao turned his head and smiled at him, called "Uncle Yitang", and then said: "You opened the door and came in. We knocked for a long time but there was no answer. I thought Uncle Yitang had moved away."
Like a fried chicken, Xia Yi screamed sharply: "This is my house, who allowed you to come in? Who said I want to move out? If you get out, you all will get out."
Man Bao said nothing, but looked at Magistrate Zhai.
Magistrate Zhai slammed the table and shouted: "Bold!"
This sound frightened Xia Yi, and Magistrate Zhai shouted angrily in a serious voice: "You don't even look at who is sitting here. Do you want me to go out, or do you want the head of your Xia family to go out?"
Xia Yi trembled and opened his mouth, unable to speak.
When Magistrate Zhai saw that he was quiet, he stopped talking and gave the scene to Zhou Man again.
Zhou Man did not say anything, but looked at Clan Chief Xia.
Patriarch Xia caught her gaze, and after a moment of silence, he still had the courage to speak to Xia Yi: "Xia Yi, you guys clean up, free up this house and return it to the eldest lady."
Xia Yi shouted: "Why, this house belongs to my family!"
Magistrate Zhai took out the house deed from his sleeve and said expressionlessly: "But the original house deed for this house is in Mr. Zhou's hands."
Clan Chief Xia also disliked Xia Yi for being embarrassed in front of everyone, and said impatiently: "This house belongs to Xin Niang. It was because the couple had not been back for a long time, so it was temporarily assigned to you to live in. Now the eldest daughter of Xin Niang's family has returned.
The house must be returned to her."
"I don't agree. I have lived here for twelve years. My neighbors all know that this house belongs to me. If you ask me to move, I will move. Why?" He shouted: "She has the house deed, and I also have the house deed!"
"
After shouting, he took out a house deed from his pocket, specifically waved it in front of Zhou Man and said, "Did you see it written in black and white on the paper, this house was mine twelve years ago."
Man Bao raised his eyelids and glanced at him before saying, "Uncle Yitang, without the original owner's contract, this house deed can be voided."
"You, you lie!" Xia Yi looked at everyone and shouted with some lack of confidence: "You said that my house deed does not count, does yours count? You appeared out of thin air and said it belonged to Xin Niang.
That’s your daughter? Who knows if you are fake?”
In short, Xia Yi refused to give up until he was beaten to death.
Patriarch Xia had a headache, so he stood up and confessed to Magistrate Zhai, and then took Xia Yi out to admonish him.
When the people in the house saw them leaving, they all relaxed and waited quietly. From time to time, they could hear one or two loud voices coming from the yard.
After three quarters of an hour, Man Bao was almost thirsty after sitting there, before Clan Chief Xia led Xia Yi in with red eyes and resentment on his face, and said: "Xia Yi agreed."
When Xia Yi's mother-in-law, who had been hiding aside and staring at Zhou Man, heard this, she immediately raised her head to look at Xia Yi. Seeing that he lowered his head and said nothing, she was so angry that she spat at him, sat down on the ground, patted her thighs and cried.
: "You've done evil, you've bullied others, you've bullied others, you have bullied our family together, and your good house will be taken over by others..."
The sound was so loud that the neighbors outside the yard immediately poked their heads in from the door to take a look.
Patriarch Xia's brain suddenly exploded, and he almost fell down after shaking twice. Man Bao looked worried that he would get angry, so he had to help him support him and press the acupuncture points on his body.
