"Don't think about it, didn't you see it just now? She has a good relationship with the Zhou family. The two brothers behind her, the younger one is Wulang. That is to say, she has at least five older brothers above her. It's not enough to support them. Make time to help our side?"
"Not to mention that Xia Xia's old man met her early and said many bad things about us behind his back. If she listened to Xia Xia's crazy words, she would be fine if she didn't hate us."
Patriarch Xia also nodded, "I didn't think about asking her to do anything, as long as she doesn't stand in the way of Wulang and Qilang."
All the clan elders just heard this, saying that it was impossible not to want to hold people in their hands before, otherwise why did they mention Zhou Man's surname change
Everyone in the Xia family followed to Songhua Lane with complicated thoughts.
The door of Xia's house in Songhua Lane was closed tightly, and the guard knocked on the door for a long time but no one opened it. Man Bao lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car, and turned to ask the curious neighbor who looked out, "Sister, is there no one in their house? "
Although her daughter is about to be the same age as Zhou Man, when she heard her call elder sister, she not only didn't feel offended, but also felt a little complacent, touched her face and smiled: "I haven't seen them today. The family has been out."
A door next door also opened, Aunt Fan's mother-in-law came out, and Aunt Fan followed behind with sparkling eyes.
Aunt Fan's mother-in-law first took a look at Xia Xia before looking at Zhou Man, and finally found the look of the old man on her face, and said: "I'm at home, I guess I didn't hear it in the backyard."
It's impossible not to hear it. The sound of the guard knocking on the door is so loud that the neighbors can hear it. How could they not hear it
Man Bao frowned for a while, thought for a while, and simply took out the house deed and handed it to County Magistrate Zhai.
County magistrate Zhai took it with an inexplicable expression, "This is..."
Man Bao said: "Let the adults have a look."
The county magistrate Zhai just looked at it. He had seen this house deed yesterday, and there was nothing different about it.
Seeing that he had no objection, Man Bao turned to Daji and said, "Go in and open the door."
Daji took a few steps back, and after a few run-up steps, he flew up from the wall, jumped over the wall and landed in the courtyard in twos and threes.
Not to mention patriarch Xia and the elders, even the magistrate Zhai opened his mouth wide in surprise, and in their astonishment, Daji opened the door from the inside.
Man Bao lifted his foot in first, glanced at the clean and tidy courtyard and nodded slightly, then turned sideways and said: "Magistrate Zhai, Patriarch Xia, please come in, and everyone, please come in too."
Bai Shan also smiled and turned to ask Magistrate Zhai to advance.
County magistrate Zhai looked at Zhou Man, then at the house deed in his hand, folded it silently, put it in his sleeve and went in.
Patriarch Xia had mixed feelings in his heart, it was indeed stuffed with black sesame seeds, and the smile on his face looked fake, just like her father.
The elders of the Xia Clan finally saw someone's shadow in Zhou Man's body, and after a long silence, they silently lifted their feet in.
Aunt Fan watched with relish, and whispered: "This lady looks just like her father."
Her mother-in-law said: "Father and daughter are of course alike."
"No, I'm talking about temperament," Aunt Fan said, "It doesn't matter if the face looks alike, but the temperament is also similar."
Her mother-in-law glanced at her and said nothing, but followed her in to watch the fun.
Daji had already pushed open the door of the main room, and Man Bao asked the county magistrate Zhai and the patriarch Xia to sit down, and asked the servants of the Xia family to carry Xia Xia to sit under the head seat, and then let her parents sit down , except that he didn't order anyone to bring tea and water, just like a host.
The people hiding in the backyard heard that something was wrong. When Quiet Mimi's probe was about to look forward, he found that there were many people sitting or standing in the main room of their house. Because there were not enough chairs, the guards also came from the yard and the side room. Li brought several stools over.
Xia Yi was stunned, and couldn't hold back any longer. He rushed out with his wife and children, stared at them dumbfounded and said, "You guys, how did you get in here?"
Man Bao turned his head and smiled at him, called "Uncle Yi", and said, "The one who opened the door came in. We knocked on the door for a long time but we didn't see it. I thought Uncle Yi had moved away."
Like a fried chicken, Xia Yi yelled sharply: "This is my house, who allowed you to come in? Who said I want to move out? Get out, you all get out."
Man Bao didn't speak, but looked at Magistrate Zhai.
The county magistrate Zhai slapped the table and shouted, "Bold!"
Xia Yi was startled by this sound, and the magistrate Zhai yelled seriously, "You don't even look at who is sitting here. Do you want me to go out, or let your Xia family's patriarch go out?"
Xia Yi trembled, his mouth was open and he couldn't speak.
Seeing that he was quiet, the county magistrate Zhai stopped, and gave the scene to Zhou Man again.
Zhou Man didn't make a sound, but looked at Patriarch Xia.
Patriarch Xia met her gaze, and after a moment of silence, he still had to bite the bullet and said to Xia Yi: "Xia Yi, please tidy up and return this house to the eldest lady."
Xia Yi shouted: "Why, this house belongs to my family!"
The county magistrate Zhai took out the deed from his sleeve, and said expressionlessly, "But the original deed of this house is in Mr. Zhou's hands."
Patriarch Xia also disliked Xia Yi's embarrassment in front of everyone, and said impatiently: "This house originally belonged to Xinniang, and it was temporarily allocated to you because the husband and wife have not come back for a long time. Now the eldest lady of Xinniang's family is back. Yes, the house must be returned to her."
"I don't agree. I have lived here for twelve years. The neighbors in the neighborhood know that this house belongs to me. If you tell me to move, I will move? Why?" He shouted: "She has a deed, and I have a deed! "
After yelling, he took out a house deed from his pocket, and deliberately gestured in front of Zhou Man and said, "See, it says in black and white that this house belonged to me twelve years ago."
Man Bao raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then said: "Uncle Yi, without the original owner's contract, this deed can be voided."
"You, you liar!" Xia Yi looked at the crowd, and shouted with some lack of confidence: "You said that my house deed is not counted, so is yours counted? You came out of nowhere and said it belonged to Xin Niang The daughter is? Who knows if you are a fake?"
In short, Xia Yi just refused to give up.
Patriarch Xia had a headache, got up and pleaded guilty to County Magistrate Zhai, and then dragged Xia Yi out to persuade him.
Seeing that they had left, the people in the house relaxed and waited quietly. From time to time, one or two loud voices could be heard from the yard.
It took three quarters of an hour, and Man Bao was almost thirsty after sitting there, before Patriarch Xia led Xia Yi, who had red eyes and resentful face, in, and said, "Xia Yi agreed."
Xia Yi, who had been hiding aside and staring at Zhou Man, heard this, and immediately looked up at Xia Yi. Seeing that he kept his head down and didn't speak, she spat at him angrily, sat down on the ground, patted her thigh and cried out: : "Do evil, you have bullied others, you have bullied others, you belong to the same clan and bullied our family, a good house will be taken away..."
The sound was so loud that the neighbors outside the yard immediately poked their heads in from the door to look around.
Patriarch Xia's brain exploded at once, and he swayed twice and almost fell down. Seeing that he was afraid that he would get angry, Man Bao had to help him, and pressed the acupuncture points on his body.
