"Sister-in-law, I don't know what happened to that girl from Yijia. I saw her from a distance. She was being supported by someone behind the police and seemed to be seriously injured.
You see, we are your aunts after all, do you want to go over and take a look?" Zhuang Fang, the wife of Feng Youwen, the third son of the Feng family, said as she washed vegetables in the yard.
She said that since her husband's family kicked her out some time ago, they should have taken her back directly. It would be her turn to live with them next year. Giving her a bowl of rice and having a free laborer to work with would make her life much easier.
Sister-in-law Li Yan curled her lips when she heard this: "I'm not going. If you want to see it, go and see it yourself!"
Don't think that she doesn't know what her sister-in-law is thinking. They have two daughters and a son. Their daughter will be married in the next two years, so they don't have to worry about her. Since they have enough house to live in, they naturally hope to have more capable people working at home.
But it’s different in my family. Although my eldest daughter is married, I have three sons who were born one after another. Now they are all of marriageable age, and the house is already tight.
If Feng Yijia comes back, we have to make room for her, and then we won’t have enough space for three wedding rooms.
She simply told Zhuang Fang directly, "Yijia's daughter is now nineteen years old. We should raise her well and marry her off.
It can be considered as an apology to my second son who died early, and worthy of the two rooms I got in the beginning.
As for the fact that her husband died after she got married and she was kicked out of the house, it was her own bad luck.
Even if they are biological parents, there is no reason for them to take care of their daughter for her entire life, let alone us uncles.
If my sister-in-law wants to bring her back to live with us, she should not involve us in the future.
We have many sons, and we don't have extra rooms for others to stay in like you do!"
The two heads of the family were smoking their pipes and waiting for dinner with their feet up, not caring at all about what they said.
It was as if the person being discussed was not their niece, but an insignificant stranger.
The younger generation of brothers and sisters, who are in their teens and twenties, also had nothing to do with the matter and were doing their own things.
Chen Hai brought his men over and heard what Li Yan said outside the open gate.
I curled my lips in my heart at the same time.
Living in the same village, we see each other everywhere. How could they not know each other?
Feng Yijia's life in these two families over the years was worse than that of a farmhand in the old society.
They didn't have enough to eat, didn't have enough clothes to wear, had endless work to do, and were constantly beaten and scolded.
I don't know how Li Yan has the nerve to say that she raised the child well, worthy of the deceased second son, and worthy of the house they were allocated?
But none of this is their business.
It is not uncommon for parents in the village to not treat their daughters as human beings, and it is difficult to control them.
The purpose of their visit this time was not to settle old scores, but to help Feng Yijia get back the land that belonged to her so that she could have a livelihood and survive in the future.
Chen Hai took the lead and led people into the yard.
As soon as I finished exchanging greetings and explained my purpose, the yard suddenly exploded.
Feng Yijia was staring at Xu Xiuping, who was filled with complicated emotions, when they heard a distant yet familiar voice outside the yard shouting, "Feng Yijia, you ungrateful wolf, come out here!
Ever since your father died, your mother, who always needed a man, ran away. I raised you from a little girl until you grew up and got married.
Now he has grown stronger and is planning to take action against me.
I tell you, there is no way you can get your little piece of land back!
·······"
Feng Yijia was dazed for a moment before she realized that this was her aunt-in-law, who was so shrewish that she couldn't even be described as such.
In his previous life, this person moved into the city with his children and grandchildren. I haven't seen him for many years.
Now when I heard this voice again, I couldn't help but frown and twitched the corners of my mouth. It seemed that the village cadres were quite quick in their actions, but it was obvious that their words were not as effective as before when they were working together.
Otherwise, her aunt wouldn't come and curse people directly.
Xu Xiuping looked at Feng Yijia, whose gauze was stained with blood, and touched her head with pity. She pressed her down on the bed, stood up and said, "Don't show up if you are injured. The village will take care of you.
Lie still, I'll watch outside and they won't dare to do anything."
Feng Yijia nodded obediently.
As soon as he saw someone leaving the house, he would carefully stand up, pry open the window, and tilt his head to try his best to see what was happening outside.
Outside the yard, my aunt-in-law was standing in front of the gate, sweating profusely. I don’t know if it was because she walked too fast or cursed a lot in one breath. She was panting with her hands on her hips, and her eyes, as big as copper bells, on her dark and thin face were filled with rage.
"Li Yan, this is the village's decision. The land was distributed to others two years ago, and now we should take it back.
If you continue to act unreasonably, don't blame us for being rude!"
Chen Hai's voice was getting closer and closer along with the sound of heavy and chaotic footsteps.
In a flash, several village cadres and uncles, brothers and sisters who had not been seen since their rebirth appeared in sight.
It's rare to see so many people together!
Li Yan was not afraid at all. She slapped her thigh, rolled up her sleeves, rushed to Chen Hai, and put her face in front of him, shouting, "Come, come, let me see how you want to be rude to me?
Beat or kill, try it now if you have the guts!"
Chen Hai was forced to retreat repeatedly by the woman's head pressed against his chest, and his face turned the color of liver.
Meng Jimin, who was standing next to him, remembered the word "hooligan" that Li Yan had just said, and hesitated, not daring to lead people forward.
Chen Hai was forced to retreat five or six steps, unable to bear it any longer, and turned to Feng Youwei behind him and shouted, "Why don't you take care of your wife?
If you continue to cause trouble here, I'll have someone chase the police who haven't gotten far yet, and let them see how to deal with the situation of not returning the land occupied by others!"
After hearing this, Feng Youwei changed his previous inaction and took a few steps forward to pull his wife away.
He smiled at Chen Hai and said, "Accountant Chen, my wife is just a bit of a scoundrel, please bear with her.
It would be too much to just occupy the land.
Feng Yi's family lived and drank in our house for several years. When they got married later, Meng Changjun was grateful to us for raising her. Since our family couldn't afford much dowry, he said that he would leave the land for us to farm. This was a show of filial piety from him and Feng Yi's family.
I swear to God, we are all honest farmers, but we don't have the guts to occupy farmland!"
Chen Hai knew long ago that this family was no good. They were shameless and cunning.
The village chief Meng Chengliang used to be able to suppress the situation because of his powerful connections, but when it came to him, he didn't even give him a single face.
He was even talking about a dead person. He had made up his mind that he couldn't go to the underworld to confront a dead person. No matter how they made up a story, he could advance or retreat, and he wouldn't have to take any responsibility, right?
Glancing at the villagers who were quickly gathering around him, Chen Hai understood that he had to resolve this matter today.
Otherwise, no one will take him seriously in the future.
