Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 174
Li Xin was taken aback for a moment, a little unresponsive, but Guan Wen immediately asked, "What happened?"

The boy said with some seriousness: "Brother Li is gone."

"Big brother..."

Li Xin shook her body all of a sudden, just as Axiu came out and immediately stepped forward to support her, Guan Wen also hurried over to support Li Xin.

The boy hurriedly said: "Hey, sister Li, I didn't make it clear just now, the elder brother of the Li family I was talking about was not your own elder brother..."

Li Xin regained his composure, stood firmly on the ground and asked, "Then who are you talking about?"

"It's the eldest brother of the Li family from your uncle's family." The boy said, "Is it your eldest brother?"

Li Xin let out a long breath.

Just now she thought... her elder brother died, if something happened to her elder brother, what would her parents do, what would her sister-in-law do, and there were two nephews who were still so young...

Guan Wen hurriedly put his arms around her and said, "It's not your elder brother, Xiner..."

Li Xin calmed down, and within a short while, all the members of the Guan family surrounded him.

Guan Wen asked aloud, "Are you..."

"I'm from the Li family village." The boy hurriedly said, "Sister Li may not remember me. My cousin's husband is Daliu. My cousin and sister Li used to play well."

Li Xin paused and said, "I didn't pay attention, is it Zhuangzi's younger brother?"

The boy nodded hurriedly and said, "I'm Wu Zhuang, fortunately sister Li still knows me."

Li Xin forced a smile, Guan Wen supported her and asked, "Brother Zhuangzi, the elder brother of the Li family..."

"Brother Li has gone, and Uncle Li's house is in a mess." Wu Zhuang said, "Second Uncle Li, Aunt Li, Third Uncle Li and Aunt Li all helped to take care of the funeral. Uncle Li's family has a lot of things going on. It's noisy, it's a mess..."

Li Xin stabilized his mind, and then he returned his attention and said: "How did the hall brother go? You are a good-looking person, and you haven't passed thirty, why did you go?"

Li Xin is not very familiar with his cousins. When he was young, the relationship between the two families was not very good, so they didn't get close. When they played together, they played with Li Bao, who was only one year apart.Later, when the National People's Congress grew up, she became estranged from her cousins ​​and played with other little girls in the village, such as Sister-in-law Liu.

Now when she heard that her hall brother Li Jin had died, although she was a little dazed, she wasn't too sad.Especially when I thought it was my elder brother who was gone, but it turned out that it was not my elder brother who had an accident, I was more fortunate.

This kind of mentality is normal, but Li Xin still feels a little embarrassed when he thinks about it now.

After all, the big brother is only 28 or [-] years old this year, and he is the eldest son and grandson of the Li family...

Wu Zhuang picked his head and said: "I don't know the specific situation, it seems that it disappeared suddenly. Something happened to Li's family. Uncle Li and Uncle Li went to the old house of Li's family. My cousin and brother-in-law also helped. Taking care of the funeral, it's just that the Li family is arguing so much that there's no one to talk to."

Then he said: "The married sisters of the Li family have all gone back. Second Aunt Li asked me to send a letter to Sister Li. Everyone has gone back. If you don't go back, you are afraid of being chewed on. Let me tell you to go back..."

Li Xin nodded, and restrained the doubts in his heart and asked, "When did the hall brother go?"

"It was noon yesterday." Wu Zhuang said, "At noon on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, I fell down in the yard and didn't get up."

Li Xin was even more puzzled, reluctantly nodded and said to Wu Zhuang: "Stay here for lunch, and I will go back with you in the afternoon."

Wu Zhuang hurriedly responded.

Guan Wen asked Guan Quan to help Wu Zhuang. Li Xin went to Hu Yueying and Axiu and said, "I'm going back to my mother's house in the afternoon. There's something important going on at home. I have to go and have a look. I don't know tomorrow on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. Whether you come back successfully or not, I will leave more things to you for the Chinese New Year."

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? The dead are the most important. Of course we can't stop you." Hu Yueying said hastily.

Axiu also said: "Sister-in-law, don't be too tired when you go back, take care of your body, don't be too sad."

Li Xin didn't have much affection for Li Jin, and it wasn't much sad.But when I think about how old my grandma is, no matter how old my uncle and aunt are at dealing with their family, the blood relationship is there, and the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, I feel sad when I think about it.

Li Xin called Yang'er over again, hesitating whether to take Yang'er back to her mother's house.Speaking of which, since Yang'er was adopted, she hasn't fully discussed this matter with her natal family.

Just at this time Guan Wen came over, held Yang'er in his arms and said, "Go back in the afternoon, and come back in the evening tomorrow. The solar terms of the Chinese New Year must not be missed."

Li Xin nodded, adjusted Yang'er's collar and said, "Take Yang'er too."

"Of course I have to take it, it's his cousin."

Li Xin remained silent.

Guan Wen told Lao Guan and Guan Ming that he was going to leave in the next afternoon. Unexpectedly, Guan Ming didn't say anything harsh, but just muttered that there were so many things to do after the New Year, and waved his hand and said, "New Year's Eve Ten'er has to come back at night, I have to come back for the New Year's Eve dinner, I don't care about the rest."

Guan Wen responded, telling Li Xin not to panic, and go back to Lijiacun after lunch.

After all, it is the dead who are the most important, and the customs here are such that nothing is more important than the affairs of the undead.Guan Ming also knew that he couldn't hold his breath when dealing with the dead, otherwise ghosts would come looking for him.Of course, this is a superstitious statement, but most people at the moment believe it.

After lunch, Li Xin couldn't even eat the dishes made of fresh pork.

After putting away the bowls and chopsticks, Axiu rolled up her sleeves and said, "Sister-in-law, go and do your business. My fourth sister-in-law and I know what to do here, so don't delay. It's winter and it gets dark early."

Li Xin didn't refuse, and after a few more instructions, he hugged Yang'er, and Guan Wen called Wu Zhuang back to his new house.

I simply tidied it up, and took a tael of silver and some copper plates.

Wu Zhuang came here by himself and set off before dawn.He is young and fast on his feet.Li Xin didn't want to walk, so he asked Guan Wen to go to Brother Yue's house to borrow an ox cart, and then rushed to Lijia Village.

Li Xin was thinking all the way, Li Jin died, why did the Li family make trouble?
At this time, there is a dispute about property division?
But Li Xin felt that it was unlikely—Li Jin had an accident in the early morning yesterday, and it was only a short day. Even if he wanted to talk about his inheritance and other issues, it would be too early!

On the way, he couldn't help asking Wu Zhuang: "What is the Li family doing now?"

Wu Zhuang naturally didn't know what to ask, and scratched his head and said, "I really don't understand, it's so noisy, and people from other families are involved... I didn't hear clearly."

Li Xin sighed and could only find out when he went back.

With a car instead of walking, it is natural to walk faster on the road. It was still dark when we arrived at Li Xin's family home in Lijia Village.

Mrs. Zhang welcomed them in. Mrs. Jiang stood at the door of the main room and called her sister and brother-in-law. Li Xin nodded and asked Guan Wen to unload the cart and lead the cow to her natal cowshed. Seeing a strange cow coming in, the cow that "lucks money" let out a "moo" and continued to eat straw with its tail wagging.

Wangcai yelled at Li Xin and the others.

Mrs. Zhang said with a sad face: "I shouldn't have let you come back. My mother-in-law is afraid that people will say that we don't pay attention to the affairs of the uncle's family. Chun'er from the third uncle's family came back after getting married, but you didn't come back. That's why I called Zhuangzi to help you to inform you that the old house is too noisy."

After speaking, he called Wu Zhuang to let him go into the house to have a rest and drink some water. Wu Zhuang hurriedly said that he still had something to do, so he said goodbye twice and left.

With a serious expression on his face, Li Xin carried Yang'er into the main room, suppressing the irritability in his heart and taught Yang'er to call his first aunt and second aunt.Yang'er shouted obediently.

Zhang Shi and Jiang Shi looked at each other, Zhang Shi said: "This is..."

"The child adopted by Ah Wen and I, this matter is complicated, we will talk about it later." Li Xin took a sip of water to moisten his throat, "What's going on with this matter, how could brother Da Tang..."

Mrs. Zhang sighed and said, "If you want me to tell you, I just drank the urine of the monkey's grandson!"

Jiang's stomach is a little big, and he has to support his waist while sitting. Hearing this, he said softly: "It's because I don't know how the big brother got there, so the uncle's house is in such a mess."

"Now the Yang family is about to get involved in a life lawsuit."

"The Yang family?" Li Xin opened his eyes wide: "What does it have to do with the Yang family?"

The Yang family can be regarded as the first wealthy family in Lijia Village, and the grievances and grievances between the Yang family's mistress Mei Xiaoxia and Li Xin's mother Liu Jinhua are also spread everywhere in Lijia Village.

Now why is the Yang family involved in Li Jin's death again?

"Didn't you say that the eldest brother fell to the ground and died at home?"

"It's because of this that the Yang family doesn't recognize it. It's their Yang family who killed uncle." Zhang said with a sigh: "Sister, you also know what kind of virtue your big brother is, right? There is nothing wrong with the rest. Okay, I just like to drink that little wine, and have fun with it. You should have heard of his things in the past. He hugged other people's daughter-in-law when he was drunk, slept in a pile of straw, and almost burned others The family’s firewood stack... let’s not talk about these things, everyone has gone, so it’s hard to say much, only his virtue of drinking is known to everyone in the village.”

Li Xin nodded and said, "He always speaks like alcohol, I know that."

"Although the big hall brother fell to the ground in his yard in the morning on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month and didn't get up, he went there, but he drank at Yang's house all night on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. He came back early in the morning on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month. It collapsed in the yard." Mrs. Zhang spread her hands, "What do you think about this matter?"

Li Xin frowned, just as Guan Wengui had finished packing the ox cart and entered the main room, he called Mrs. Zhang "Sister-in-law".

This time Mrs. Zhang didn't give him a good face like the last time when Li Xin came back and Guan Wen chased him.

Nodding to him, Mrs. Zhang continued: "Your uncle's family is gloomy right now, and grandma has been crying for two days. Now my uncle is also entrusting someone to deliver a message to your cousin Zhu. Will your cousin Zhu come back?"

Li Zhu married far away, and never returned to her natal family after marriage, and she doesn't know what the situation is now.

Jiang sighed and shook his head: "The third uncle's family has also returned, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law have all gone to help with the funeral. Now the uncle is as if he has lost his soul. He just sits there all day long, and the uncle and mother just focus on crying. "

Li Xin looked around: "Aren't Shanzi and Xiaodou here?"

"Your elder brother, second younger brother and third younger brother are all at your uncle's house. Shanzi and Xiaodou are nephews, so naturally they are going to kneel." Mrs. Zhang also sighed: "Such a small child, how can I bear it, I think Pick them up in a while."

The two aunts and sisters-in-law were talking about something, when someone came to the door, it was Brother Li Xin.

Mrs. Zhang greeted her hurriedly and said, "Why are you back?"

"There was a fight over there, and I couldn't stay there, so I came back."
