Chapter 197 Quarrel
Life in Beiguan Village has always been peaceful and warm.

In addition to floods and droughts, when pests are rampant, the biggest difficulties are probably the twice-yearly taxes on grain, cotton, linen, and silk, as well as regular and irregular corvees.

Although it is located in a border town, because of its unique geographical location, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water on one side, it is located in a corner that is almost forgotten by the world, and the border of Dachu has always been closely guarded...

Even if large or small wars break out, the flames of war often do not spread here.

Having their house burned down and their belongings smashed by the enemy's rebellious soldiers, for the people of Beiguan Village, nothing but heartache and sorrow, no one has ever thought about the hidden danger behind this incident.

From then on, Beiguan Village is no longer a paradise where you can enjoy peace.

It also became a place where barbarians broke in at will to hunt Caogu.

But at this moment, everyone who survived Beiguan Village, including the well-informed Li Gan and Xia Daohua from later generations, hadn't thought of this level yet.

The problem they face at this time is that the food has been burned, the residence has been destroyed, and the belongings have been smashed. How will they live next?

what do they eatWhere do you live?
The most important thing is, what will be used to pay the autumn tax this year?
Wang Li was feeling sorry for the destroyed property of his own family, and he couldn't help crying, and the other one was getting old, so he asked his eldest son to come out to appease the people.

Besides being frightened, angry and distressed, Feng Juren was also very concerned about his daughter who was married outside.

Therefore, he is busy sending servants out to find out the news.

Hearing Wang Lizheng's eldest son calling the big guy to go to the threshing ground to talk about something, he knew what he meant after a little thought, so he sent another steward to help Wang Lizheng appease the people.

The biggest loss in the Xia family was Dafang.

Not long after Liu's funeral, Xia Youcai died in a military disaster again.The whereabouts of Zhu, Jinhua, and Yinhua are unknown, and they were probably taken away by the rebel army.Presumably their fate would not be much better than being killed on the spot.

Not only did Erfang not suffer any losses, but it also imported a baby—Zhou Yunniang brought her family to look for Erlang and went to Beiguan Village to avoid disaster. Isn't this a response to Erlang's thoughts?

The third, fourth, and fifth bedrooms were all fine, and only lost a lot of property. Among them, the pickle workshop in the fourth bedroom was the most "heavy loss".

But the real loss in the pickle workshop is actually only those custom-made pots and jars, and the wages paid by hired laborers.

But Xia Daohua deliberately did not clarify.It is actually a good thing for outsiders to think that the pickle workshop suffered heavy losses.At least to some extent, it can calm the flames of jealousy in many people's hearts.

Xia Daohua found out that Mr. Xia and Mrs. Zhou seemed to be worried about something all the time.

She couldn't hold back, and secretly asked Xia Youtian in private, only to find out that the old couple should be worried about their eldest aunt Xia Xuejiao.

In Xia Daohua's mind, this big aunt doesn't have a strong sense of existence.

She seems to have married in the town or another county. In fact, she is not far from Beiguan Village, but she doesn't come back every year during the Chinese New Year.

Xia Daohua doesn't have a deep impression of this eldest aunt.

The original owner seemed a little afraid of her.In the few times we met, I tried to hide myself behind Lihua, and tried not to let the big aunt see me.

After Xia Daohua passed through, she hadn't met her yet.

Oh, no, I seem to have seen it once when we separated!At that time, the injury on Xia Daohua's head hadn't healed quickly, so she didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing, so she ignored it.

Xia Daohua guessed that the eldest aunt might have fallen out with the family because of something.Otherwise, the old couple would not only worry about her, but not go to her, or ask someone to bring her a message.

But it doesn't seem quite right to say they had a falling out.

After all, during the Dragon Boat Festival some time ago, the family also received a gift from the aunt.

So, what is the situation between the eldest aunt and the Xia family?I always feel that the scene between them is not very natural.

Xia Daohua muttered to herself twice, and then found out that Xia Yougui had quarreled with Mrs. Zhou.

At dinner time, Xia Daohua obeyed Xia Youtian and Mrs. Jiang's instructions, and brought Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Zhou a bowl of stewed tofu with pickled potherb mustard. As soon as she walked to the door of the old couple's house, she heard Xia Yougui's voice coming from inside the house. Roar:
"Father, mother, you should feel sorry for your son anyway! My son's body is not made of iron! He can't resist that big knife! Besides, let's say... my son is also afraid!"

What's wrong?Xia Daohua paused in her footsteps, but she just went in like this.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Mr. Xia's deep voice:

"Why are you yelling so loudly? There are outsiders at home, so what's the point of shouting?"

Xia Yougui's voice lowered a bit, but it could still be heard clearly outside the door. Xia Daohua felt that it would not take too long to hear Xia Yougui's voice, let alone a door, even a few rooms away:
"Father, I don't want to shout! But look at my mother, she actually asked me to go to Xuejiao's house to check on the situation.

Xuejiao has been a ghost since she was a child!Can she need you to worry about her?
Xuejiao is such a big person, when encountering this military disaster, can she not know how to hide?Can she not know how to run?

If even Xuejiao can't escape, I will deliver food if I go.

If Xuejiao ran away, and I couldn't find her, wouldn't I still deliver food to the barbarians? "

Zhou's voice sounded with anger:

"Xuejiao is also your name? That's your sister!
Besides, didn't I just say, let you go to your sister's house to see the situation, if you don't want to go, can you just say you don't want to go?He also ran on me with insincere words, and I must be charged with partiality.

What's wrong with my preference for your sister?
When it was the most difficult time at home, when your brother and you were almost pulled away by Latino, how much did your sister do?

Dare you forget all about it?
Even if I let you take a look at it, you are not happy, but you have the nerve to yell here!

Don't think that since your brother is dead, I have to count on you!
You have three younger brothers! "

I don't know if the phrase "You still have three younger brothers" touched Xia Yougui's mind, his voice was a little choked up, but his words became more and more difficult to hear:
"Mom, how can you say that to me?
I am not a white-eyed wolf!Why can't I miss my sister in my heart?
It's just that there's a lot of chaos outside, we barely escaped by hiding in the tunnel, you don't want to scare your son, but let him run to that place where there is a lot of chaos, do you think that place is good to go?
If I was hacked like big brother, would you feel at ease? "

"Wow!" There was a sound of bowls and chopsticks being overturned to the ground.

Mrs. Zhou roared angrily, "You rebellious son!"

Grandpa Xia was also angry, and with a sound of "dang", the pipe and pot hit Xia Yougui's forehead: "Second brother, why are you talking to your mother?"
