At this moment, Uncle Gong Jian wished he could use more force when he hit Gong Yaozu just now. What kind of trouble this damn kid has caused for him.
After hearing the village chief's question, Uncle Gong Jian began to hesitate. What he hesitated about was, of course, whether to reveal the matter about his youngest son. After all, his youngest son was still studying in a private school, and he still expected
I hope that my younger son will be able to pass the child student examination next year, and I will be tested as a scholar the year after that.
If he told the truth now that his youngest son lied to his mother-in-law, secretly took the title deed of three acres of land at home, and went out to pawn it, which led to this incident, then his youngest son's reputation in the village would be ruined.
It's going to stink.
He had to take this into consideration. If someone spread this matter again, would his younger son not be able to be an official in the future?
A few days ago, when he was cramming in knowledge about scholars, the old people made it clear to him that the most important thing for a scholar is reputation. Once this reputation is ruined, people above you will think that you are talented but not moral, even if you can't pass the exam.
If you pass, you won't be hired as an official.
So when Uncle Gong Jian was hesitating about how to answer this question, he felt the angry gazes of the ten members of Wang Sanjia's family, and Uncle Gong Jian had to speak with difficulty: "Yes, it's like this...
"
As he spoke, Uncle Gong Jian showed a sad expression. He raised his head and looked at the village chief, trying not to look. The dozen or so people surrounding him said sadly: "Village Chief, you don't know
, this is something my family can’t do anything about. Our family is unfortunate.”
As he spoke, Uncle Gong Jian let out a long sigh, looking frustrated and disappointed.
His appearance did not arouse the sympathy of anyone in Wang San's family at all. Wang San's mother-in-law even spat on the ground. Just as she was about to curse Uncle Gong Jian loudly, her man received a warning.
A warning look.
So she simply glared at Uncle Gong Jian without anger, and then turned back to her daughter-in-law, not wanting to look at this pretentious villain anymore.
No one in the village knew about the character of Uncle Gong Jian and his wife. Seeing Uncle Gong Jian pretending to be there, no one else believed it in their hearts. Who didn’t know that there was basically nothing in the mouths of the couple?
What's the truth? If it weren't for their family's situation and they had no choice, they would rent five acres of land from Uncle Gong Jian.
They had watched generations of the old Gong family serve that land. If the land had originally belonged to Uncle Gong Jian's family, they would not have dared to rent it. Alas, now that I think about it, their family is still greedy. Once this land
As a member of Uncle Gong Jian's family, my family should not be so greedy and covet the high yield of the five acres of land, and should not have anything to do with their family.
At this time, the wife of Wang San's family also secretly regretted it. If she hadn't coveted that those few acres of land were indeed good farmland, and the annual harvest was 10% higher than other fields, she really should have stopped renting and farming from their family long ago.
The land is good. After all, considering the temperaments of the couple, it is really not unimaginable for something like this to happen.
If you rent other people's land, if there are any changes, the owner will definitely notify the people who rented the land early. How could such people come to take over the land? Only they know this.
The owner of the land has changed hands, which is something that only the boss of the Gong family can do.
Seeing that Uncle Gong Jian was still sighing, the wife of the third Wang family felt a burst of contempt, but in fact she still wanted to know that although this family was not authentic, their ancestral property was really rich. With such a rich family background, how could he be like this?
Why did the couple sell the land, and what they sold was three acres of the best acres.
Although he knew that his performance had been seen through in the eyes of Wang San's family, it did not affect Uncle Gong Jian's mood. He remained motionless and continued to be immersed in his previous emotions.
, still standing there with a downcast look, without saying anything truly meaningful.
Wang San's family couldn't hold back for a long time and wanted to knock off Uncle Gong Jian's fake face, but the village chief was still standing nearby. Although they couldn't do it, they all stared at him fiercely.
Uncle Gong Jian.
If Uncle Gong Jian had looked up, he would probably have been scared out of his wits again. Fortunately, he was completely immersed in the emotions he had brewed at this time. He was lowering his head and sighing: "My family is unfortunate." Finally, he took off his long hair.
Sound.
The village chief also knew how Uncle Gong Jian behaved. But he couldn't reprimand him just because of the two words he just said. He could only raise his voice and speak.
"Boss of the Gong family, you'd better explain the matter clearly as soon as possible. After all, the Wang San family rents your family's land, and now there's a problem, I'd better give them an explanation. Otherwise, even if I stand here and annoy others, I won't care.
If you weren't like me, the village chief, you would still suffer.
The village chief's words immediately interrupted the emotions that Uncle Gong Jian wanted to continue brewing. He couldn't help but raise his head and looked at the village chief blankly. He didn't understand why the village chief didn't follow his own rules.
What's the trick?
His performance was so obvious, shouldn't he step forward to comfort him and slowly ask about the origin of the matter? Why did the village chief speak to Wang San's family when he opened his mouth?
But when he raised his head, he immediately noticed the circle of eyes staring at him. At this moment, he felt that his uncle was really scared. He didn't care about the routine he was thinking about just now, and just said what he had just done.
The words I made up were also spoken.
"Here's the thing, ah, it's all my mother-in-law's fault. Her mother-in-law is sick, but as you know, my family is really poor and I can't afford money to treat my old mother-in-law.
There is really nothing I can do. This woman actually went behind my back. I stole three acres of land from my family and sold it. I just found out about this today. I don’t know where this woman is hiding. If she is at home.
, I will definitely teach him a lesson."
Hearing what Uncle Gong Jian said, not only the village chief, but also the entire Wang San family were a little stunned. They looked at each other, not knowing whether what Uncle Gong Jian said was true or false.
After all, if what they say is true, Uncle Gong Jian’s mother-in-law is sick and they are in urgent need of money. Judging from Uncle Gong Jian’s stingy temper, he will definitely not be willing to spend money to treat his mother-in-law’s mother.
