Chapter 24 Into the Provincial City
Before dawn, Hongshan Village lit up with cooking smoke.
There was a sound of Suo Suo in the next room, and there were a few soft sounds of pots and pans, Lin Yanchao woke up from his sleep, knowing that it was the third aunt next door, cooking for the man who was farming.
Fujian is close to the Tropic of Capricorn, the sun is very scorching, even if the weather is about to enter autumn in August, people can be sunburned at noon. Therefore, the man who farms the field generally goes down to the field at five o'clock, works until ** o'clock, at most ten o'clock, he has to return home, have a lunch, sleep a night, and take the sun before setting at four o'clock in the afternoon.
For thousands of years, the people in the village have worked like this, so the third aunt next door has to get up early at four o'clock to cook.
And now, Lin Qianqian, who is a housewife, must also cook for the third uncle who gets up and goes to the field at four o'clock. In the past, when the eldest mother was at home, she slept until she was exposed to the sun until she got up, and Lin Qianqian stood in front of the stove to cook breakfast since she was nine years old.
Lin Yanchao also got up, and he couldn't stay in bed.
Studying is also three watches, five watches, and chickens!
To change the current situation, going to school is the right way to be promoted, and in addition, to protect the family, there is a place of shelter when you are young.
Xie Laohu is the biggest threat at the moment, and this person is watching from the side. Lin Yanchao thought to himself that there were only a thousand days to be a thief, and there was no thousand days to prevent thieves, so it was too uncomfortable to sit at home like this, waiting for others to come to the door, and be beaten passively. I have to figure out a way to drag Xie Laohu off the horse from the position of the captain.
Lin Yanchao read until almost noon, when a voice suddenly came from outside: "Is Lin Pusi at home?" ”
"He went to the shop to be on duty, what advice does the big brother have?" The uncle outside the door replied.
Lin Yanchao stretched his ears, and guessed in his heart that it was a miscellaneous matter of servitude, and it had not stopped. Xie Zongjia has trumpeted other methods.
"Who are you?"
"The eldest son."
"It's okay, there is also your name here, this is the county government's tick, and the county lord has an order to let you and your father go to the county government to ask questions the day after tomorrow."
"What's ticking?" The uncle's words were full of panic.
Lin Yanchao pushed the door away when he heard this, but saw a servant with bird feathers in the brim of his hat, dressed in a green coat with arrow sleeves, and a saber hanging from his waist, standing at the door, talking to his uncle.
When the uncle heard that he wanted to see the county, his legs trembled, and the people in this era were afraid of three points when they saw the officials, not to mention that they had caused a lawsuit when they saw it like this.
At present, Zhou Zhixian is known as a broken county, and Da Boqiang said with a smile: "This brother has worked hard, how to call it, you can know Huang Bantou." I work under him, and I usually call him Grandpa. ”
"Damn, a helper, also worthy of a relationship with me?" Uncle was despised naked.
"The brother who passed on the case must be from the soap class, and he can serve the county lord every day, where can I afford it, but doesn't the younger brother understand? Ask for a lesson or two, I don't know what the county lord passed on to me? ”
Hearing the uncle's flattery, and quietly stuffed some money, the officer's face suddenly improved a lot and said: "Even if you can speak, tell you the truth, your family has made a mistake!" The village chief handed over the letter and went to the county lord to accuse you of swallowing their family's dowry field. ”
"What, the dowry field of the eldest lady? What the hell is going on? The uncle's face turned pale all of a sudden.
"It's useless for you to share these things with me, so let's tell your father, and think about how to explain to the county lord the day after tomorrow. Anyway, I brought it. ”
After saying that, the official walked away. The uncle took the tick ticket with a worried face, and said vigorously: "How is this good?" How good is that? No, I'm going to go to the shop and tell Daddy about it. ”
"What's the matter with Uncle?" Lin Yanchao walked over.
Uncle Liushen took the tick to Lin Yanchao and said, "Look at what is going on." ”
Lin Yanchao took a look at the ticket and said, "This is the official seal of the county master!" It's rare! ”
The uncle complained: "Chaoyu, at this time, you still have this leisure." ”
Lin Yanchao smiled confidently and said: "Uncle, you don't have to worry, I'm worried that I haven't cleaned up Mr. Xie, and now that he has sent it to the door by himself, it is killing himself!" ”
That night, Lin Gao hurried home from the express shop.
In the Lin family in Hongshan Village, oil lamps are lit. The lights were slightly red, shining on the faces of Lin Gao, Uncle, Third Uncle, and Lin Yanchao.
Lin Gao faced the oil lamp, smoking a hookah one by one, and the smell of smoke filled the room.
The third uncle said first: "Dad, I think Mr. Xie has been planted this time." ”
Everyone is strange, the third uncle, who has always had no ideas, how can he be so confident this time?
The third uncle smiled and said: "Listen to me, there is no law in the imperial court, and the matter of household marriage and land is not allowed to be sued by the official, and it must be decided by the old man in the management." If you don't judge through the old man, you don't care about the truth or the truth, and first cut off the complainant's rod by sixty. This Xie Laohu found the county lord to redress his grievances, so we sued him for not finding two village elders to make a decision, so he found the yamen and asked him to eat sixty boards first? Ha ha! ”
The third uncle thought that the temple was a success, and one person smiled, but no one echoed him.
The third uncle stopped and asked, "Am I asking the wrong question?" ”
Lin Gao knocked the cigarette in his mouth and knocked on the table and said, "Third child, what is your idea?" Xie Laohu is the lieutenant chief, and his family's marriage and land are not included in this list, and they can directly sue the official, which is not counted as overstepping the lawsuit. ”
The uncle also mocked the third uncle and said: "Xie Laohu himself is the chief armor, he still doesn't understand the Tao here?" ”
The third uncle said with an aggrieved face: "Big brother, am I not planning for the sake of the family?" What are your good ideas when you say that? ”
Uncle said: "Dad, third brother, isn't it just five acres of dowry land, that's also the original Xie family, give it to her, I'm not rare." We reconciled this matter privately, and let them withdraw the case, which made a big fuss and not look good. One day husband and wife hundred days, I can't let the neighbors say that I don't care about the old husband and wife friendship. ”
"Boss, look at you like this, you don't have any interest, it's broken when it's broken, what's there to think about, why is the eldest husband without a wife, I'll find you any one better than the eldest mother." Lin Gao reprimanded with a straight face.
"Dad is right, sister-in-law is like that, I don't think Dad did anything wrong that day." The third uncle also mixed in on the side.
Hearing what the father and the third uncle said, the uncle also lowered his head. Lin Yanchao also saw that the uncle didn't care about his face since his aunt left home, and the whole person was a lot haggard.
"Fifteen years of kindness, it's not just a matter of breaking it," the uncle said sadly, "I've been looking for my mother for a month, I haven't said anything, my father is at home, I apologize to the Xie family, if the eldest mother is willing to come back, we will forget it, and the knocked out front teeth will be swallowed in the stomach." ”
"No way!" The third uncle resolutely objected, "I don't want to recognize this sister-in-law anymore!" ”
Lin Gao sighed: "Home and everything is prosperous, how can I not know this truth, but your daughter-in-law is like this, if she comes back, she will be embarrassed, what should I do?" Right now, we are willing, and his Xie family may not be willing. ”
"Then give her five acres of land, I will be without this wife, and I will not have this mother to prolong my life." Uncle gritted his teeth and said.
The third uncle immediately said: "Big brother, this is not right, how much effort I have spent on these five acres of land in the past few years, I don't know how many truckloads of manure have been watered, I simply treat it as my own son, you are willing to hand it over, I am not willing." If he wants these five acres of land, okay, the Xie family will return the bride price money we gave to their family, and everyone will clear it. ”
When the uncle heard this, his temper suddenly exploded, and he pointed at the third uncle and said angrily: "This is not good, that is not good, so what do you say?" ”
"Big brother, don't be angry!" The third uncle smiled embarrassedly and didn't answer.
Lin Gao picked up the hookah and looked at Lin Yanchao, "What do you think about the tide?" ”
Uncle said first: "Dad, what do you know about a child?" Don't let him get involved in this. ”
The third uncle said on the side: "Boss, although Chaoyu is a child, don't forget, how our family escaped the miscellaneous labor this time, and it is not that Chaoyu has been appreciated by the school inspector." ”
Lin Qianqian said on the side: "Yes, uncle, I think that after Brother Chao became ill, he was much more powerful than before." After speaking, Lin Qianqian gave Lin Yanchao a very confident look.
The uncle listened and said: "Cheng, Cheng, what do you think of Chaoyi, just tell me." ”
Lin Yanchao said: "Grandpa, uncle, third uncle, if Xie Laohu wants to make peace with us in private, he won't fail to inform us and hand over the paper to the yamen." Xie Laohu did this to make things bigger, and he wanted to fight this lawsuit, not only to regain the five acres of land, but also to ruin our family's reputation. You said that he has been in the hall for so many years, and the number of roads in the yamen must be clear, maybe there are still small officials to support him? ”
"Then we can't fight this lawsuit!" Uncle said with a bitter face.
"Uncle, since this Xie Laohu thinks that he is sure to win, will he still let us go and make peace with us in private? Even if we return the five acres of land to the Xie family, it will be useless, and if we take the initiative to make peace, not only will we be looked down upon by the villagers, but Xie Laohu will slaughter us again. ”
When Lin Yanchao said this, everyone showed a thoughtful look, and felt that what Lin Yanchao said made a lot of sense.
Lin Gaozhu asked, "Chaoyu, what do you say?" ”
Lin Yanchao said: "Grandpa, the people of our Lin family don't usually cause trouble, but when things come to an end, they are not afraid of things!" ”
Lin Gaozhu stood up and said: "Well said, when the matter comes to an end, I, Lin Gaozhu, have never been afraid of anyone in my life, since he Xie Laohu wants to fight, I will accompany him to fight!" Okay, go to bed early, and go to the county government to fight a lawsuit with Xie Laohu! ”
"Dad, when I saw the yamen's eight-figure wall, my legs were soft, and I couldn't help, I had a lot of work in the field these days, could I not go?" The third uncle lowered his head and said in a low voice.
"It's not promising!" Lin Gao couldn't help but scold.
"Grandpa, the third uncle is busy working in the field, let him be busy, and I will go on behalf of the third uncle tomorrow! If I can't win the lawsuit, I will go to the Yamen of the Daoist and ask the abbot of the school master to be fair! ”
Lin Gao looked at Lin Yanchao and nodded, "Okay!" ”
On the day he went to the county office, Lin Qianqian got up early in the morning, boiled soup with a duck mother, laid down the noodles, and put duck eggs. Lin Gao, Uncle, and Lin Yanchao all had a big meal.
Because they want to see officials, Lin Gaozhu and Uncle are dressed very formally, but Lin Yanchao is just wearing an old dress, Lin Qianqian said: "Brother Chao, why do you wear this old clothes when you were in social studies?" Lin Yanchao smiled and did not speak.
Lin Gao glanced at the rising sun in the east, and said to the uncle, Lin Yanchao: "Let's go, let's enter the provincial capital!" ”
