The worst time travel, surviving seven years of famine

The two of them were very close, and the two of them were very close.

"Second brother Gu, we old friends have no choice but to find you. I think your family has always been honest, and you are the top family in our village, and you have a good reputation. You will definitely help to mediate this matter."

"Brother Sun, you are too flattering to me. Let's talk while walking. I will definitely help you in any way I can. Tell me what happened and why you are so anxious to help me..."

The Sun family is at the bottom of the hillside opposite the Gu family, about half a mile away. Along the way, several people from the Sun family told the old man Gu the cause of the incident.

The Sun family has a brother, the older one is called Sun Qiang and the younger one is called Sun Zhuang. Because they were very weak when they were born, their parents hoped that the children would grow up stronger, so they gave them this name.

The mother of the two brothers passed away when they were children, and their father raised them. The older one was married, but the younger one was not. It was because the younger one was not married that the two brothers had never separated. However, last autumn, the father of the two brothers rushed to harvest the dried grain on a rainy day, caught a cold, and died in two days.

Because the father died too quickly, the separation of the two brothers became a problem. The old man raised the two sons alone, and there was nothing valuable in the family. In addition to the fields, there was only a row of houses left.

The older one thought that he was the eldest son, married and had children, so he should get more. The younger one thought that he was not married and would have to arrange marriage later, so he should get more.

As a result, there was a rift between the brothers. When they finally divided the property, not to mention the valuable big items like iron pots, even the small items like gourd ladles that were in large quantities in the village, the two brothers would quarrel, and they wished that each of them would get half of the gourd ladles.

The reason for the fight between the two brothers this time was also from this.

The two brothers originally had a paddy field of about two mu at home. The paddy field was very barren, with a lot of gravel in the field and a lot of bluestone on the field ridges. The rice yield was always less than half of that of other mud fields. However, there was a well in the field, and water was constantly flowing out all year round, which was why these two mu of land were reclaimed.

Because of this well, the water in these two mu of land was always deep. Even when harvesting rice, the water in the fields was still ankle-deep.

But when the two brothers separated, no one looked down on this small field, and they all wanted to take the mud field with better yield. After all, water is not a rare thing here. As long as there is water in the upper field, there will naturally be water in the lower field.

So after a while, no one wanted this field, and they all wanted a better field.

But no one expected that the weather would be so dry this year, so dry that the water in each field was held back and not released. The land that was once despised by the two brothers is now being fought over like a treasure. They both want to put the water from this land into their own land after they win it.

After listening to this, Old Man Gu was also very sad. No one would have thought that the two brothers, who were born of the same mother, would end up in such a mess after their parents died. Then he thought of his own family with three sons, and one son was still unmarried. Compared with the Sun family, the situation was even more serious, and he was even more worried.

Then Old Man Gu raised his own question: "Brother Sun, when your nephew and his brother divided the family property, didn't they ask the village head to write a contract and ask the county to reissue the land deed?"

After hearing this, several elders of the Sun family said with some shame on their faces: "Second Brother Gu, you know that we brothers are not as wealthy as your family. As for our family assets, there are only a few things, except for a few broken houses that others don't like, and a few plots of land.

It costs a lot to find someone to reissue the land deed, and you have to pay tea money and ask someone to draft the deed. In addition, the last piece of land was not divided well, so several elders of our ancestor came to In front of him, he put the land that the two brothers had divided as a witness. Who would have thought... "

"Your family is so big that it embarrasses me. My family is also a small business. You see, my family still has so many fields, it can't really be called a big family!" Old man Gu said modestly: "It's no wonder that the two brothers fought, and it's also difficult for you elders. If such a thing happens in my family in the future, I will trouble you brothers to come forward to help!"

Old man Gu said very modestly. First of all, he denied that his family was big. After all, they were all from the same village. If they became rich, they couldn't be too ostentatious, which would easily arouse the jealousy of others. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that people dislike poor people and fear rich people. This village pays special attention to this. Once someone holds a grudge against them, there are plenty of opportunities for revenge.

At the same time, Old Man Gu praised the three people, saying that they have the bearing of elders and support the younger generation.

I also put myself on the same level as them. I also have three sons, and there will be problems in this regard in the future. Although by then the Gu family may have become a real landlord and will not need the help of these people.

After several people briefly introduced the situation, Old Man Gu and his group also came to the courtyard of the two brothers of the Sun family.

At this time, the courtyard was crowded with people, forming an encirclement around the Sun brothers. The innermost ones were naturally the two brothers of the Sun family, Sun Qiang and Sun Zhuang. It can be seen that the two had already fought, and they were not light, and each of them had bruises on their faces. Next to the two brothers, of course, were their Sun family members. They comforted the two brothers, saying that they were brothers, that they were connected even if their bones were broken, and that they were still a family even if they separated.

And the outermost ones were naturally a group of people who were just joining in the fun. They were the most informed about this kind of thing. They came over with their children, eating fried rice, and talking to each other beside them.

As for why there were so many people eating melons, of course it was because the person sitting in the middle was the most influential person in Lanxi Village—Wang Lizheng. Even he came out, so naturally most people in Lanxi Village knew about it.

Wang Lizheng was still trying to persuade the two brothers by saying something like brothers need to be harmonious, but when he saw that the elders of the Sun family had invited Old Man Gu again, he suddenly looked unhappy for a moment.

The younger of the two brothers was already impatient at this time, and he scolded Wang Lizheng: "You don't need to interfere in the affairs between us two brothers, and you should stop pretending. My sister-in-law is your wife's distant niece, so you will naturally side with my brother. There is no need to persuade me to be magnanimous. What is the eldest son and the first wife? I only know that I haven't married yet, and my brother has married, so this land should belong to me."

Seeing his younger brother like this, his elder brother Sun Qiang also scolded his younger brother and said: "What nonsense are you talking about! Lizheng has been working for so many years, and he has helped to decide all the major events in the village, and he has always been fair in doing things. It's okay for you to insult your brother, but you also insult the outsiders who helped. It's simply a disgrace to our Sun family."

Younger brother Sun Zhuang At this time, I couldn't care less. Since the words had been said, I might as well tear my face off with the head of the village and said directly: "If you have no relationship, why do you favor my brother and ask me to give the land to my brother?

I don't know about others, but I know who you are. When my father wanted to buy the land of Old Lady Wu, you said in front of my father that Old Lady Wu was not going to sell the land. But then, Old Lady Wu's land was sold to the Wang family by you.

My brother said you are fair, but I think you help whoever you are close to."

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers shifted their eyes from the two brothers to the face of Wang Lizheng, and Wang Lizheng's face flushed instantly when he was exposed by a younger generation.

It has been a long time since Old Lady Wu bought the land. At that time, the head of the village did it very cleanly and neatly, and it took a few days to get the draft deed. So even if the villagers knew about this incident afterwards, it had already been settled, and few people brought it to the table.

Now that Sun Zhuang had brought up the matter again, it gave the villagers an opportunity to discuss it. So at this moment, the villagers were using this incident to tell the people around them that they had also encountered the situation where the head of the village favored others.
