The poor mountain village is still poor.
Although each family got 2,000 yuan from the sale of the mountain at the beginning, no matter how durable the two yuan is, it will still be spent. The reaction was not to make money, but to blame Qiu Wujia.
If it wasn't for their refusal to move the grave, the two thousand yuan would have turned into twenty-five thousand yuan, and how could it be spent so quickly.
He is not the only one who thinks this way, plus Qiu Wu and his wife acted hostile and hostile that night when they tried to forcefully move the grave, even though it was because the villagers wanted to dig their son's grave.
But these people wouldn't justify Qiu Wu and his wife in this way, they would only think, didn't Qiu Wu treat the Xuan family in the same way
The Xuan family was still his benefactor back then, so he could do this, so why couldn't they do it for everyone's benefit.
The current status of the Qiu family in the village is similar to that of the former Xuan family, or even worse than that of the Xuan family.
The reason why the Xuan family was hostile by the villagers at the beginning was the original sin of the Xuan family's daughter's beauty.
The underage girl is as green and attractive as green grapes. Her natural beauty did not attract kind-hearted people, but attracted the coveting of a bum.
The second sin is that the Xuan family does not have a man to protect them.
Grandpa Xuan passed away early, and when the little girl had an accident, Mother Xuan hadn't been with Father Xuan yet. In the eyes of the villagers, there were three of them in their family, and two of the three women were vixens who seduced their husbands' eyes.
These ignorant and vicious women never think about whether the Xuanjia sisters would like to be looked at by men in this way, nor would they think about the two girls who did nothing but provoked a group of gossips for nothing. How uncomfortable.
They vented their discomfort of having to do coolies every day on the Xuanjia sisters, and at the same time they were looking for a sense of superiority.
So what if he looks good, it's not that he is disliked by the villagers.
The older ones were jealous of Grandpa Xuan's love for Grandma Xuan when he was alive, which they didn't have, and the younger ones were jealous of the men they liked or couldn't ask for. They couldn't help but cast their eyes on the pair of sisters.
They don't think about improving themselves, they just think about pushing down people who are too much stronger than themselves, and they can never stand up.
Grandma Xuan had been away from the village for a long time before being discovered, but at that time they were only interested in being happy that they got the money for nothing, so why were they still willing to manage the life and death of an old woman? Even if she really died of anger at home, it didn't matter their business.
In the end, Qiu Wu, who was still bullied by the villagers, went to the village chief's house.
What he experienced during this period of time has already changed the temperament of this man who has always held his chest high. He shrank his head, lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and even spoke subconsciously.
"Village chief, the old lady of the Xuan family has not been seen for many days..."
This man who used to be so arrogant and arrogant is now pursing his lips, his voice is almost inaudible, "Is something wrong with her? Why don't you go to her house and have a look."
As for why he didn't go by himself, Qiu Wu didn't dare to go.
During this period of time, the villagers' targeting put him under a lot of pressure. In the middle of the night, lying on the bed, listening to his wife's restless sleep, Qiu Wu would start to wonder if Grandma Xuan was like this.
Isolated by the whole village, slandered and slandered, even unable to sleep peacefully, Qiu Wu is not such a strong person, otherwise he would not explode suddenly after losing a son.
If it wasn't for the fact that his youngest son was still alive, he would even have thought of dying.
At least, it doesn't have to be like now, it's okay to work hard every day, and you have to feel the indifference of the villagers all the time.
His children have no children to play with him in the village. The once lively children can only squat in the yard and watch the ants every day.
Many things have happened to me, and I have never felt that kind of cruelty, so I really can't understand the misery in it.
Once Qiu Wu was the perpetrator, he didn't feel guilty, nor did he feel that he was wrong.
But now, when he felt it himself, he began to think, how did those Xuanjia who were treated like this by him feel at that time
He couldn't sleep all night and all night. With the window open at night, he could see the graveyard far away when he opened his eyes.
That location is facing the tomb of the Xuan family couple.
Maybe it was because of numbness, but Qiu Wu was not afraid anymore. He began to think about the daughter of the Xuan family.
He became an orphan when he was young, and no one in the village was willing to help him. Only Grandpa Xuan took him home, fed him, and brought him his old clothes to warm him up.
Grandma Xuan was still a kind woman at that time, even though her own family was in a difficult situation, she still brought food with a gentle smile, and gave it to this person who had no blood relationship. Thinking, when I grow up, I must repay the Xuan family.
Later, later...
He watched Xuan's son-in-law drown with his own eyes, watched Xuan's daughter jump into the river, and watched Xuan's grandma crying bitterly while holding the baby girl who was just born a few days ago.
At that time, Xuan Lele needed milk. Grandma Xuan held her in her arms and went door to door to find breastfeeding women to buy milk, but she paid too little money. The death of the two pillars of the Xuan family made this one not very rich. A shadow has been cast over her family, and everyone in the village is concerned about money, so of course they are unwilling to help her.
The last family Grandma Xuan went to was Qiu Wu's. His wife had just given birth to a child.
But if he divides the milk into Xuan Lele, his own child will eat half less, that is his son, so small, so good...
Qiu Wu chose to stay behind closed doors. He didn't think about it that much at the time. Looking back now, everyone in the village is qualified to ignore the Xuan family, but he is the only one who doesn't.
Later, his little son grew up and could be called Dad and Mom. He began to learn to walk, went to elementary school, and went to junior high school.
Then, drowned in a different place.
Qiu Wu's eyes were bloodshot, tears slid down his face, soaking the pillow, his eyes fixed on the direction of the grave, but the tyranny of the past was gone in his heart.
It is retribution.
he thinks.
He killed other people's relatives, so he couldn't keep his own.
Qiu Wu noticed that he hadn't seen that old lady for a long time. She was no longer the gentle and kind woman in his memory, but an old man who sat gloomy at the door every day and didn't know what he was thinking.
The guilt of killing Xuan's family, and the guilt that she dared not admit at all, combined together, unexpectedly brewed an enemy against them.
That day, with his joy, he forced Grandma Xuan to hold his heart to the end angrily, saying that it was a lie that he was not afraid, but more of it was anger.
At that time, he blamed his sin on an innocent old man.
Stupid, really stupid.
If something really happened to Mrs. Xuan, it would not be an exaggeration for him to die to make amends.
Qiu Wu lingered outside Xuan's house, but he dared not go in.
He was afraid, afraid of seeing a dead person looking at him.
Fear of facing one's own guilt.
Therefore, Qiu Wu came to the village chief.
"Old lady Xuan, she's fine. Didn't you get mad at me before? Lele took her back to the city."
Go to town, go to town.
Lele is a good and filial girl, and she will treat her grandmother well in the future.
Qiu Wu went back in silence, never asking the village chief for help like before.
Yes, just as the village chief said.
When they teamed up to bully an old lady, it was useless for him to stop it. Now, even if the village chief really spoke up, it was of no use.
It's redemption.
The sins he inflicted on others in the past are now regarded as revenge on himself.
With this idea in mind, he silently responded to the attacks of the villagers, and just got through it. When Wei Mingyan deliberately drove into the village with a luxury car that had been unused for a long time in the garage, the once arrogant and domineering The old man has become a man who works hard every day and doesn't like to talk.
When the colorful luxury car drove into the village, many children were playing outside. When they saw it, they yelled and went home to tell their parents that a car had driven in.
It's time for a nap, because the sun is too hot at noon, most people are at home, and now when they hear the movement, some people come out to watch the excitement.
The one who came to their village with such a good car, of course, belonged to the big boss, but the previous few times the car went directly to the cemetery, but today this car actually drove in the direction of the village chief's house.
Could it be that the big boss wants to buy a mountain again
Can they have a lot of money to spend? !
The people in the village who were almost woken up by the noise rushed to the village chief's house, thinking that the boss was so soft-hearted, they would sell it and beg for mercy, maybe they would buy it even if they didn't buy it.
On the bumpy road, the car was driving very slowly. The car was driving in front, followed by a bunch of people, and children were laughing and running to watch.
Grandma Xuan sat in the car, glanced back, and couldn't help but sneer.
"Aww!"
Sanya lay obediently on the seat, as if sensing that the master was in a bad mood, she moved her head towards Grandma Xuan while screaming to comfort her.
"Sanya, be good, follow closely later."
The car stopped at the gate of the village head, and Wei Mingyan handed over a specially-made crutch, a dragon head crutch, black and bright in color, as imposing as possible.
"Grandma, here, support the place."
Grandma Xuan showed a sincere smile on her face. She took the crutches, straightened her hair which was neatly combed although it was gray, and her eyes turned cold.
The villagers looked at this expensive car parked outside the yard of the village chief's house, and they hesitated to move forward. After all, the boss had never seen them since the last time he bought the mountain. On the other hand, they have been going up and down the mountain alone all the time, and they dare not go up the mountain against the agreement, but they will have to pay a lot of money.
I haven't seen you for so long, how can I ask for more money
It would be great if someone in the village had contact with this big boss before. It would be better for them to fawn on the villagers than to fawn on this boss who is not at the same level as them.
Just as the group of people were thinking, the car door opened, slender legs stepped out, and a man who was more handsome than before got out of the car.
Discussions erupted in the crowd immediately, but the big boss who bought their graveyard stood respectfully in the back seat and opened the car door there.
The first thing to fall to the ground was a crutch. The black and dull crutch stepped on the ground, stirring up a little dust to float up.
Under the shocked eyes of the villagers, the neatly combed gray hair and well-dressed old lady got out of the car leaning on her faucet and crutches.
Although she has wrinkles on her face, she has a fair complexion. There are two emerald green earrings on both ears, a large white pearl necklace around her neck, and a beautiful bracelet on her wrist. Although the villagers have no money to buy it, they can still see it. It can be concluded that this outfit is absolutely valuable, just like a wealthy old lady in the city.
Under everyone's incredulous gaze, the rich boss, who was too late for them to fawn on, greeted him respectfully and hurriedly, carefully supporting the old lady with a familiar face to stand firm.
"Grandma, be careful, shall I help you into the house?"
This, how is this possible!
