Xia Yi no longer listened to her words, so he and his wife ran towards the village. Because they ran too fast, they fell. Man Bao could hear the sound even after running so far away, and felt that his knees were hurting.
She hummed twice, put her head back into the car from the window, and said to Bai Shan: "Tomorrow, let the guards go to urge the Xia clan leader to ask for the previous rent, and also ask the Xia clan leader to ask for the rent in the hands of Xu Lichang.
, the land is ‘rented’ by him, it’s up to him to claim it.”
He occupies her land and can't even do a simple sweep, huh!
Bai Shan smiled and nodded, liking her angry look.
Xia Yi threw away all his shoes. When he ran home, he saw a bunch of people sitting in the yard of his house and a lot of broken thatch piled up against the wall. Although the whole house was still khaki, he could tell with just one glance.
After seeing the difference, the thatch on the roof was much cleaner and neater, and it looked like it had been newly replaced.
The young people were drinking water from bowls, resting and bragging. When they saw Xia Yi coming back, they all shouted for credit, "Uncle Yi, you are back, look at how we treated you, doesn't it look good?"
Xia Yi trembled with his lips and turned in a circle, and asked tremblingly, "Where are my furniture and the things I moved back from the city?"
"It's in the house," the young people were still showing off, "we've fixed it up for you."
Xia Yili ignored them and rushed into the house. He looked at the three rooms on the left and right and found that everything in their house had been changed. He felt as if he was struck by lightning. He immediately rummaged through the box to look for it and saw what he wanted.
I immediately reached in and touched the box I was looking for...
He took out a cloth bag from it and saw that the money was still inside. He breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still furious. He stuffed the money in and rushed out, bumping into the curious young man who followed him.
.
At this time, the curiosity and smiles on the faces of the young people disappeared. The leader grabbed Xia Yi and shouted: "Uncle Yi, what do you mean, you suspect me of stealing something?"
Xia Yi shook off their hands, "I can't tell you, where is Dalang, Dalang——"
Xia Dalang ran back from outside when he heard the sound, and said with a face full of surprise: "Dad, you are back, where is mother?"
Xia Dalang rushed up to catch him, and slapped him on the butt with his big hand without sparing any force. The slap made a loud sound, and his face turned red. He shouted angrily: "I asked you to watch the house. How did you do it?"
Look, who told you to let outsiders touch things at home, ah?"
While he was scolding, he shook his arms vigorously, and slapped him seven or eight times in just one sentence. The young people reacted after being stunned, and they all stepped forward to grab him, "Uncle Yi, what are you doing? Dalang is helping you today."
Why don't you just clean up your house?"
"That's right, and you saw it just now, you didn't lose your money!" The young man said sarcastically: "And we will never steal money no matter how short of money we are, let alone Aunt Xin's cousin is still here.
Will we steal money in front of the official?"
It was fine that he didn't mention Zhou Man, but when he mentioned Zhou Man, Xia Yi became even more angry, but he couldn't argue with the young man, so he turned around and grabbed Xia Dalang, whose eyes were red, and continued to beat him, "I made you disobedient, I made you disobedient
, when I went out, did I tell you to take care of your home, your brothers and sisters, and don’t let anyone touch the things at home..."
"Uncle Yi, what are you doing..."
Seeing that he was becoming more and more fierce, the young people couldn't help but stop him, "You will beat him up like this..."
"No matter what, you can't hit your child, right?"
"Are we helping the wrong thing? I told you earlier, brothers, we will tear off the roof and bring back the thatch from each house..."
During the commotion, Xia Yi's family, who had lagged behind and was out of breath, finally arrived. When she came back, she saw Xia Yi beating her son. She immediately became unhappy and stepped forward to push him away. "Why are you beating the child?
If it breaks, will you pay for the medicine?"
After pulling away, Xia Yi wiped Xia Dalang's face with his hand, wiped away his tears and drove him away, "Take your brothers and sisters back to the kitchen, I'll tell your father..."
Xia Dalang limped to pull his younger brothers and sisters who were huddled aside to go back to the kitchen. In the yard, Xia Yi started to quarrel with the young people in the clan.
Xia Erlang was so frightened that he asked with a trembling voice, "Brother, do you feel any pain?"
Xia Dalang wiped away tears and shook his head.
Xia Xiaomei asked, "Brother, should we return the money to our parents?"
Xia Dalang gritted his teeth and said, "No more. Don't tell any of you that we have money."
Xia Erlang and Xia Xiaomei were basically played by Xia Dalang. They nodded without thinking and decided to listen to their elder brother.
Xia Dalang was not young anymore, and naturally he was past the age where his parents could do whatever they said. He turned around and looked outside, and saw his parents scolding and driving away everyone sitting in the yard, so he said with red eyes: "Dad, that's what you're doing."
No, let’s go out and apologize to them tomorrow.”
Xia Erlang was puzzled, "Why?"
Xia Dalang didn't know why. He thought for a while and then said based on his feeling: "They helped us, so we should be grateful."
Manbao, who didn't know that Xia Dalang had been beaten, sat in the car and said to Bai Shan: "In the future, when he lies in bed, he will think, I installed this bed. When he looks up at the roof, he will think, this roof is where the eldest brother and Wu
My brother repaired it. When I was sitting eating, I thought, this is what Lao Zhou's family has cleaned. I wonder if he can sleep and eat."
Xia Yi really couldn't sleep or eat. Seeing the big changes in his home, he didn't feel very happy. He wanted to throw the things out and move them back according to his own wishes. It would be better to replace the roof.
But his wife didn't have that much energy. Seeing him being so noisy, she simply let him lose his temper, as long as she didn't break anything in the house.
"Why don't you smash the junk in the yard to extinguish the fire?" The yard was filled with beds, tables and chairs from the previous home, which were all dirty and rotten. The ones in the house now were moved back from the county town.
.
Xia Yi saw her accepting it well and was so angry that his nose was about to smoke. He yelled, "You still use the things they fixed. Don't you agree?"
"No Geying," Xia Yi's family member said, "Wasn't this thing used by Xin's family before? I didn't have any Geying when I moved in, so what's the point of moving back now?"
Xia Yi:......
He was so angry that he couldn't speak, "Then, how is that the same..."
"Why is it different? I think they have done a good job, otherwise the house would be so messy and dirty. How long would it take for us to do it? The wheat in the field is about to be harvested, and the beans are almost done. These are all jobs. You
Are you still going to do the work in the city now? How can we not have time to clean up at home while we are doing it? If these things are left outside, what if they get damaged by the rain? "
Xia Yi's family said: "If you ask me, they did a good job. If you want to hate them, hate them. But why did you offend the clan so much just now?"
Xia Yi turned around and left, not wanting to listen to her anymore. Xia Yi's family was too tired and too lazy to talk anymore, instructing the three children to cook and boil water for her to take a bath.
