life struggle

Villagers are often like this, guessing and discussing in private for a while, and once the freshness wears off, the handle and beak of the strange words will naturally disappear. 【】The fact that Wu Xiaojun's house was stolen by Qianjin cast a lingering shadow on the hearts of everyone in the village. Fear and uneasiness lingered in their hearts all the time. Everyone was secretly locking and guarding against a few special people in the village, lest they touched them. Their nerves cause trouble for the upper body.

The three of Wu Pingshun had just had breakfast that day, and they planned to go to the field with Wu Xiaojun to pick mung beans, but it rained at night, and they had nothing to do, so they were about to go out to play mahjong, when Wu Pingchun came to the house expressionlessly, "Two Brother, my young lady's mother-in-law passed away last night."

Wu Pingshun asked in surprise, "Isn't the old lady in good health all the time? I haven't heard that she had any disease. How can she pass away after she passed away?"

Wu Pingchun said, "No one knows when she died. Last night, she was fine. She was busy until after ten o'clock, and made more than 30 catties of noodles. She was going to bake sesame seed cakes with my eldest sister in the morning. It was about five o'clock When my eldest sister went home to call her, she didn’t answer no matter how she called, the fan was blowing all the time, my eldest sister lifted the mosquito net, pushed it with her hands, and felt that something was wrong. When she touched her nose and face, she realized that it was cold. The old man died."

Wu Pingshun said, "That's right. It might be a sudden illness, but that's fine. There's no pain and no symptoms. Let's go now."

After the two finished speaking, they went to Wu Lian's house in Nanguan, the county seat, under their umbrellas.

When Wu Lian was young, she was very handsome and elegant. She was a rare high school graduate, and she could be called an intellectual woman with both talent and appearance.The elder brother Wu Pingming's imprisonment brought a lot of trouble to the family, and it also had a great impact on her relationship problems.The sons of landlords and rich peasants dislike the status of others, and their family members and themselves are unwilling to marry. The old family members have a clean history, and the children of poor and lower-middle peasant families hide far away. No one is willing to marry. Another delay.Later, under the introduction of her eldest sister Wu Xue, she had to marry Ma Wencheng, the only son whose father was a bandit and shot, and whose mother remarried.

Although the life of the young couple is poor, they can still get by.With the growth of age and the gradual growth of the three children, Ma Wencheng took his mother to live with him, and entered into the filial piety of a son, so that he can provide for the elderly in the future.

The old lady Ma is relatively low-key and gentle, hardworking and kind-hearted. She has been making sesame seed cakes for most of her life. Everyone calls her "the sesame seed cake old woman".As I got older, it was more difficult to work, so I transferred the biscuit stall to Wu Xue, who had retired early at home.But she is used to doing things, and she doesn't want to enjoy leisure at home, so she often volunteers to help Wu Xue.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Pingshun returned home with a gloomy face and said to Wu Xiaojun's mother and son, "Mrs. Ma is going to be buried at the north end of the land in the south of our village, which is less than 30 meters away from the land. "

Wu Xiaojun asked puzzledly, "Didn't it say that she was going to be buried at the south end of the land of my uncle's house, and they also asked Mr. Feng Shui to show her, why is she suddenly going to be buried in our land again? The land is three It is the largest piece of land in our family, and it has been discussed before that it will be our family's new land in the future. If she enters, there will be one head and one grave, it will definitely not work, and our family will not be able to use it in the future."

Mrs. Wu Xiaojun said, "Actually, it doesn't matter. I don't believe in Feng Shui all my life. I just think it's inconvenient to grow crops with a grave on a large piece of land. It's a pity."

Wu Pingshun sighed and said, "I knew before that Pingming's words might be accurate. At that time, he had a good relationship with the old lady, but it was just to make the old lady happy. Now it's not surprising that he is a coward when it comes to the real thing. He said Why can't it be his own child's home? How many people have told him that they don't agree to bury people. Erni's family doesn't have a single piece of land in the city. At this time, where to find a cemetery is not a problem at all. , Ma Wencheng and Erni were very troubled. I couldn't bear to see Erni embarrassed and worried, so I agreed to let the old lady be buried in our field. At the south end of the field in the south of the village, the small road is too narrow, and it is full of prosperous corn. There are too many ruins along the way. "

Wu Xiaojun's mother and son said, "Father, although we have little relationship with Mrs. Ma, it's not a bad idea to relieve Erni and the others. We are the closest relatives. What's more, we are doing a good deed. It's a pity that the biggest piece of land is for them to bury people."

"Father, I also agree with my mother's statement. Uncle won't let her be buried. We must let my sister-in-law's house be buried. There is nothing to say. She should be buried in other plots. Aren't the plots in the west all Can you consider it?"

"I watched it all just now, and I was mainly worried about destroying too many crops. Otherwise, I will tell them tomorrow morning and change the place. I almost forgot. When I was having dinner at Erni's house at noon today, I don't know when Pingming will put the old My wife told Xiaofu about the burial in our house, and Xiaofu went to Erni's house angrily, and lost his temper without saying a word, saying that the land belongs to him, and no one can be in charge of the family, and no one can be in charge without his consent. Buried. No matter how I hear it, it doesn’t feel right. Now that I’m not dead, I dare to say that it belongs to him. How can I accept his tricks. I’m still in charge of this family. He can do whatever he wants, and I definitely won’t agree , There was a big quarrel on the spot. The more I refuse to be buried, I must let them be buried. Let's see what he can do to me."

Wu Xiaojun's wife didn't get angry when she heard the words, and said angrily, "This Pingming knows a lot, but she doesn't do business, and she feels that she can't bear face when she speaks and breaks her promise. Instead, she encourages Xiaofu to jump out and jump around. , It's really annoying. In this case, no matter what their purpose and intentions are, they must not be at the mercy of them this time. They must do the opposite. Even if they don't want Erniniang to be buried here with us, she must be buried here. Resolutely and They twisted to the bottom."

Wu Xiaojun said with a serious face, "Father, you don't know if you don't tell me. If you say that, I don't think things are that simple. Over the years, the eldest brother and the second brother have repeatedly made troubles and caused troubles. Look at the few acres of land. Taking advantage of this opportunity, coupled with the uncle's nonsense behind the scenes, with his character of being always provoked by others, he will definitely not let it go, and he may do something Come on, be mentally prepared."

Wu Pingshun said with a solemn expression, "Let him come to me directly if there is anything, and forgive him for not making any trouble."
