Chapter 34: The Mysterious Teng Family

Since I was a child, I heard that the Teng family came to the village at the latest.

Indeed, the large and small graves scattered all over the village are almost the ancestral graves of the Zhang family. I still don't know where the Teng family's ancestral grave is.

When I was a child, the Teng family had only two families. They are two brothers, the eldest is called Ah Cai's father-in-law, and the younger one is called Ah Yan's father-in-law, who lives in a flat land in the lower right corner of our yard, called "Tengjia Daotian".

"The Teng family moved from the robbers' den."

I had vaguely heard the elders say that they had moved from a small island outside the village called "Zhizhong".

The confrontation was a place that had been overrun by a gang of robbers a long time ago, and the people of the island were very fierce.

I heard that there was a young man from outside the island, who should have also gone to the robbers, and he couldn't help being lonely at night in the summer, and touched the body of a woman sleeping on the open door. After being caught, he had his hands and feet cut off.

The leader asked him what he had to say.

"Get me a mouthful of official wealth."

In the end, he was thrown into the sea.

There are also 7 to 8 children in the two families, but they hardly play with us.

Except for going door-to-door on the first day of the first month of the first month every year to "pay New Year's greetings" and get married to their children, I rarely go to them.

However, the adults participated in the village labor together, and there was no contradiction between them and them.

At the time I could remember, there was a man in the city surnamed Pan, who seemed to be an official, and he was punished to work in the village for some mistake.

He lived in the house of Ah Cai's father-in-law.

Some people say that he fought and carried a "shell gun".

It felt mysterious.

After the surnamed Pan returned to the city, if there was anything difficult in the village, he would go to him for help through Ah Cai's father-in-law.

I heard that when the village bought the transport ship, they approached him to solve the financial and other problems.

I always think they're pretty good.

As I grew up, I slowly learned more about them.

Ah Yan's father-in-law has a son named Youkang, and he calls the two singles of the Pan family, Ah Li and Ah Cai, "big uncle" and "little uncle".

We all know that Ah Yan's father-in-law's wife is not the sister of Ah Li's father-in-law and Ah Cai's father-in-law, why is it called "uncle"?

Later, I learned that there was a very sad relationship in it.

Father-in-law Ali and Father-in-law Acai had an older brother who married a wife named Meiyu when he grew up and gave birth to a daughter named Asu. The little life is peaceful.

When the Kuomintang troops withdrew from Zhoushan, that elder brother did not escape the catastrophe, and like many middle-aged men, he was arrested and went to Taiwan.

Meiyu is relatively beautiful, and the villagers nickname her "Meat Bone", which means to attract men's greed.

At that time, Ah Yan's father-in-law had not yet married a daughter-in-law, so he always paid attention to Meiyu and often knocked on people's doors in the middle of the night.

Meiyu's mother-in-law is a thief and doesn't give him a chance at all.

Miyu doesn't like him either. His feet, one large and one small, were plagued by schistosomiasis and nicknamed "Big Foot Crutches", which was often red, swollen and inflamed.

"Big Foot Crutches" moved a bad heart, and one day took the opportunity to take possession of Meiyu in a wheat field.

Meiyu didn't dare to make a noise, so she should have been taken advantage of once and try to stay away from him.

Unfortunately, her belly was not angry, and it slowly bulged. In the end, I couldn't hide it and told my mother-in-law.

When my mother-in-law heard it, it was a big stinky thing.

As soon as the two families combined, they married Meiyu as a daughter to "Big Foot Crutch".

Xiao Su also married the daughter of the Teng family.

It is said that twisted melons are not sweet.

Miyu died in childbirth while giving birth to the fruit of her and "Big Foot Crutch" Noai.

The baby boy, who was later named "Youkang", survived. The two brothers, Ali and Ah Cai, also have a "nephew".

"Big Foot Crutch" later married a "second marriage" wife, raised the two children left by Meiyu, and did not add any more people.

As for the strong personality of the Teng family, I saw it with my own eyes when I was in junior high school.

That day, I had just finished school and heard my father-in-law's wife and her eldest son's daughter-in-law arguing outside the house with "Daotian Yang", when their youngest son picked up a wooden stick and hit the top of the daughter-in-law's head.

The daughter-in-law fell to the ground unconscious on the spot.

Fortunately, Youkang from the neighboring door arrived when he heard the sound and was sent to the hospital in time, and in the end, the person was fine, and they all said that they had shed a lot of blood.

I was really scared: "How ruthless is my own family? ”

Ah Cai's father-in-law did not end very well, one year it was his turn to get off the transport ship, and when the ship was unloading in the port, one foot was smashed and sawed off, and he spent the rest of his life in bed.
