"Erya, you dead girl, get out of here quickly. You white-eyed wolf, you eat things from the inside out." Old lady Xu yelled at the top of her waist with her waist stuck outside.

Although she was arrogant, she still didn't dare to rush directly to other people's houses. The key is that Xu Gui is notoriously mad and quick-tempered. Her two sons are the kind of cowards who can't get a fart out with a stick.

"You loser, why did our old Xu's family give birth to you who eat inside and out, and all the good things go to other people's homes. Get out of here, don't think that if you don't come out, I can't deal with you."

The more the old lady scolded, the more angry she became.

"Which old dog is barking outside?!" A loud voice came from the yard, and Mrs. Chen ran out with a rolling pin. She has big feet and walks quickly. All of a sudden ran to the door.

Her turbulent aura really frightened Old Madam Xu.

But when she saw the rolling pin in Mrs. Chen's hand, Mrs. Xu was even more sure that Song Guihua's family really wanted to eat dumplings.

That was something from their old Xu's family, and it was taken away by someone else.

The old lady's heart was bleeding, and she was not so scared when she looked at Mrs. Chen. "Who are you scolding? Your family is shameless. You dare to scold people with things from our old Xu's family. Bandits in the old society are not so shameless."

"You old Xu's stuff, when did our family take your stuff. You just say whatever you want. You think you are a great leader."

Mrs. Chen said aggressively.

She was young and widowed back then, so many people tried to bully her, but they failed. Now that her son is grown up, can she still be bullied by an old guy

Seeing that she didn't admit it, Mrs. Xu sneered, "You think it's okay if you don't admit it? Just now, our Cuiqin saw that dead girl Erya ran to your house, and she touched half a pumpkin in her hand. I still have something in my pocket. I smelled the meat from your family when I first came here. With your family’s conditions, can you still buy meat? It must be Erya’s dead girl who bought the meat with our old Xu’s money .”

"Look, it's true to say that you are an old dog. You can smell my meat from all the way. This dog has a good nose. What's the matter, Nan Nan brought something to our house, and you're jealous? Jealousy is useless! Now Nan Nan is on our household registration book and belongs to our family, so he has nothing to do with your old Xu family. You don’t want to raise children, but you want them to be filial, your old face is too big."

Mrs. Chen spoke very smoothly when she opened her mouth, and Mrs. Xu's face turned blue when she was angry.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Chen was even happier, "Hmph, when Nan Nan left, you all knew exactly what she took. Your old Xu's family can still give her a penny to hold in her hand? Or should we Osmanthus gave them food, otherwise the children would starve as soon as they leave the old Xu's house. Now I'm jealous, shameless! You old man, don't think that the old lady is afraid of you if you have a loud voice. If you have the guts, let's make gestures , don't talk nonsense at our door!"

"You, you let Erya come out and talk." Mrs. Xu lacked momentum. The most effective trick she usually uses is to make trouble in front of her family members with shamelessness, which makes the whole family uneasy. It is also noisy outside, and no one dares to really quarrel with her.

But Mrs. Chen is an exception. People are not afraid of her, so she has no choice but to find Xu Nannan. She couldn't believe that she couldn't control that dead girl anymore.

"You said let her come out, so she has to come out? Who do you think you are." Mrs. Chen blocked the door, showing no intention of letting Xu Nannan come out.

Song Guihua also came out of the house. She still has a lot of confidence in her mother-in-law, so just after her mother-in-law asked her to stay in the kitchen to chop stuffing, she simply prepared the stuffing before coming out.

Seeing Mrs. Xu and Zhang Cuiqin, she squinted her eyes and gave them a cold look, "It's noon, so what's the point of messing around. Our family Xu Gui will be back later, and if he wants to fight, he will come back later. "

"Who is fighting with you? We're looking for that dead girl Erya." Zhang Cuiqin yelled.

Song Guihua smiled, "Yo, there's nothing we can do about it, Nan Nan is now a member of our family, how can you see me as soon as you say."

"Hmph, I don't agree to let Nan Nan come out to see you." Mrs. Chen said with a straight face. She will be strong in her life, and she has never bowed her head to anyone. This old lady Xu made such a fuss, if she admits to being cowardly, this old guy will have to go to heaven in the future

Mrs. Chen felt that even if it wasn't for Xu Nannan, she wouldn't be able to admit defeat.

Seeing that Song Guihua and Mrs. Chen, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, looked like they were inseparable from each other, Mrs. Xu began to feel timid. But when she came, she was very aggressive, if she just went back in such a disheveled manner, where would she put her old face in the future

The old lady Xu was holding on, when Liu Qiao suddenly came over from behind the house, "Mom, why are you still outside? Dad is waiting for you to go back to eat. You are not at home all the time, and you dare not touch the food at home."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xu was like nectar after the rain, seeing Liu Qiao as a savior, she immediately felt relieved. But his face was still straight, "What's your name, I'm busy right now?"

Liu Qiao smiled flatteringly, "Mom, why don't you come back when you're done with your work, Dad is waiting there. I have to go to work in the afternoon, so it's not good to be late."

Mrs. Xu stopped pretending and coughed, "Okay, we can't delay things in the field anyway, let's go back first."

Then he glared at Mrs. Chen and the two of them fiercely, "Hmph, we'll settle this account later."

"I'm waiting." Mrs. Chen said with her waist in her arms.

The old lady Xu didn't let go of her harsh words, so don't mention how aggrieved she was, and she didn't dare to continue making trouble, so she could only let Liu Qiao and Zhang Cuiqin support her, and went to her house like the old lady.

Mrs. Chen spat hard, "I've never seen such a shameless old man!"

Turning around and closing the door of his own house, "Go cook, don't starve the children to death."

Song Guihua hurried to the kitchen.

Xu Nannan and the other children were making dumplings in the kitchen. Unlike the children, Xu Nannan was always worried that he would cause trouble for Song Guihua's family, and it would be difficult for Song Guihua to do things in the middle.

Hearing the old lady and Mrs. Chen scolding outside, she wanted to go out several times. She also remembered that Mrs. Chen told her that she was not allowed to go out, so she could only stay in the kitchen.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xu's momentum was obviously not enough in the back. She could hear Mrs. Xu holding on in the kitchen, so she felt relieved.

After a while, Song Guihua came. But Mrs. Chen didn't come.

Xu Nannan worried, "Auntie, is Grandma Chen angry?"

"No, your grandma Chen was also a bully in the village back then, who can make her angry. The old lady behind the house is a paper tiger, bullying the weak and fearing the tough. Your grandma Chen is only a few words, she dare not even fart One."

Xu Nannan was relieved now, and said angrily, "I didn't expect them to be so shameless. I've already left there, and they can come here to make trouble."

"That old lady is so virtuous, she was jealous when she saw you bringing things over. I don't even think about what she did to you back then." Song Guihua snorted, her tone full of contempt. At the beginning, she didn't care about the children, but now she is jealous of things. She has never seen such a greedy person. "Don't be afraid, your grandma Chen said, you are a person on our household registration anyway, so we can't let you be bullied. If they dare to make trouble again, we will beat them with a rolling pin."

Mrs. Xu braced herself to straighten her back before returning home. As soon as she got home, she immediately shook off the arms of the two daughters-in-law, sat on the ground and said, "I'm not alive, I'm not alive. At such an age, I was bullied by a widow. What's the point of living?" ah."

Hearing the screams, Grandpa Xu couldn't even smoke anymore, and tapped on the pipe, "What's the noise? Don't let people stop. Haven't you had enough trouble in the front room?"

Just when the old lady Xu went out to make trouble, he also heard the commotion and felt so ashamed.

The granddaughter has been separated, so there is nothing to make a fuss about. He wished that in the future others would forget that those two girls were the granddaughters of their old Xu's family, so that no one would think of their granddaughter running away in the future.

This old lady is nice, she ran to make trouble when she had nothing to do.

Hearing Grandpa Xu scold her, Mrs. Xu felt even more aggrieved, "Why did I make a fuss, I couldn't be more angry. Why should we take things from our family to the widow's house. Those two white-eyed wolves are really nothing. We are all at the door of the house, and we are not filial to both of us, so we ran to be filial to the old widow."

"Then what do you want to really fight with their family?" Grandpa Xu frowned.

"Hmph, who is afraid of whom? We have three sons in our family, so we are afraid of their family?"

Mrs. Xu felt confident again when she thought of her three tall and burly sons. "I have to write a letter to the boss and ask him to come back quickly. Teach the old widow a good lesson. And even the dead girl, I can't let go."

"Okay, what's the fuss about? The boss will delay work again when he comes back. He is a cadre, let him come back to fight, do he still have to work in the future?"

Compared with those things, Grandpa Xu naturally valued the family's reputation and his son's future more. This is the foundation of their old Xu family.

Liu Qiao was also worried that Xu Jiansheng's real return would affect Li Jingnong's decision to go back, so she advised, "Mom, if you're not happy, let the second brother and Jianping go later, let's forget about the eldest brother. "

Because of the farmland infrastructure, the strong laborers in the village have been extending their working hours for the past few days. It was noon and they didn't come back, so they had to stay in the field to eat. She was glad that the men didn't come back, otherwise the whole village would know about the trouble. It's okay for the in-law's family to always make such embarrassing things.

"The two of them? Come on, I don't dare to count on it." Mrs. Xu looked down on her. Of her three sons, only the eldest is somewhat bloody. The second child is smart, but timid and dare not fight. The third child is even more useless, honestly, he can't get a fart with a stick.

"Mom, I don't think it's easy to deal with those two girls now, but where did the girl get the money to buy meat? This is an important matter. We need to find out." If you can't get the things back, it's better to get some benefits .

Hearing Zhang Cuiqin's reminder, Mrs. Xu remembered this, and then gritted her teeth, "Needless to say, it must have been given by the boss and his wife. These two unfilial things, if you have money, don't give it to me, give it to those two. White-eyed wolf. When they come back, I will definitely clean them up!"

"Mom, do you think she has spent all the money?" Zhang Cuiqin asked intentionally.

Liu Qiao glanced at her, lowered her eyebrows and remained silent.

Mrs. Xu was really excited. Hearing this, she immediately lifted her spirits, "Huh, let's go to the mountain to have a look now, and we must bring back all our things!"

Grandpa Xu disagreed and said, "They are not registered in our household registration anymore, how can they take other people's things casually."

"Even if they are not from our household registration booklet, they are still from our old Xu family. They are from our old Xu family when they are born, and they are ghosts from our old Xu family when they die. This cannot be changed. They don't care about it. What, it belongs to our old Xu's family, why can't I take it? Cuiqin, let's go!" After speaking, he hurried out angrily.

Liu Qiao glanced at Grandpa Xu, but didn't follow him in a daze, and said with a smile, "Dad, that mother has gone to the mountains, why don't I get you some food first."

Grandpa Xu was also panicking with hunger, and nodded impatiently, "Let's eat first, don't worry about them."

When Mrs. Xu took Zhang Cuiqin up the mountain, Song Guihua's house was busy preparing to eat dumplings.

Song Guihua made a bowl for Xu Gui to keep, and she wanted to keep half of it for sister Xu Nannan. Xu Nannan said, "It's rare to eat dumplings, so I have to let Xiao Man and Wood Stone eat enough. If Auntie keeps it for me, Let the stone and wood not be full, and Xiaoman and I will not be satisfied."

After finishing speaking, she was stunned to ask Song Guihua to eat the other dumplings.

As soon as a big pot of dumplings came out of the pot, the children were drooling around looking for a table. A big bowl for one person, served with sauerkraut and capers at home, not to mention how sweet it is.

Xu Nannan was also very satisfied. In her previous life, she didn't say that she ate all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, but she actually ate a lot of delicacies. But it is really too little to eat such sweet pork. When she traveled to Chongqing before, she ate a meal in a small restaurant. Xu Nannan ate the greasy steamed pork, but it was rare that it was not too greasy.

Since then, other pork has become unpalatable.

The pork this time was even better than the local pork she ate in Chongqing. With fresh wild vegetables, the deliciousness is endless.

The whole family was eating delicious food. Mrs. Chen put down the bowls and chopsticks, looked at Xu Nannan and the two sisters, "Nannan, don't be afraid of these things today. Our family's conditions are not good enough to support you and Xiaoman, but you are our household registration after all. The people in the book are also from our family. Our family has never been bullied. If the people in the back room bully you again, you can tell us. Your grandma Chen has no other skills, you still have to swear Strong."

Mrs. Chen knew in her heart that she was bought off by this meal of dumplings. Nan Nan can bring such good things to her house, which shows that Nan Nan really treats their house as a family.

Everyone treats them as a family. She took advantage of others and pushed them away. This kind of heart is too dark.

Mrs. Chen doesn't think she is a good person, but she doesn't want to be a bad person without a conscience. Decided to treat these two children as granddaughters in the future. He even thought that if the autumn grain was distributed this year and the family had enough to eat, he would let this sister come and live at home. However, there was not enough autumn food in previous years, so it is not easy for her to say such a thing now.

Before Xu Nannan could speak, Song Guihua became happy, "Did you hear that, your grandma Chen will still be your backer in the future, so don't be afraid of anyone in the future."

Xu Nannan was still surprised by this windfall. She really never thought of using these things to bribe Song Guihua's family, she just wanted to express her gratitude.

After eating, Xu Nannan was ready to take Xiaoman back to work on the mountain. Unexpectedly, before he left the house, he heard someone shouting outside, "Nannan, your grandma and your second aunt are going to get things from your house on the mountain."

Xu Nannan immediately ran out of the yard and saw that it was the daughter-in-law of Uncle Xu's family. Her family lived in front of the village, and anyone who entered or exited the village had to pass through their door.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?" Xu Nannan asked hastily.

The daughter-in-law of the sixth uncle's family said, "Just now I saw your grandma and your second aunt went up the mountain. When you came back, you saw your second aunt holding something in her hand. It must have been taken from your house."

Hearing this, Song Guihua came out of the kitchen. "This old guy is so shameless, I'll go to her to settle the score."

Xu Nannan immediately stopped her, "Auntie, don't worry, I'll go to the house to see what's missing. Let's have a basis."

"Okay, you're right, let's go back and have a look."

Song Guihua didn't care about the bowls and chopsticks at home, and hurriedly took her to the mountains.

When the three hurried to the house on the mountain, the small wire on the door was pulled open. The room was turned into a mess, Xu Nannan and Xiaoman's enamel cups for drinking water were gone, the small pots for cooking were gone, and even the kitchen ingredients were gone.

"Sister, our things are really gone." Xu Xiaoman cried anxiously.

Song Guihua was also very angry, she didn't expect the old lady Xu to do such a hand, she stretched her hand so long.

"Come on, let's go back and settle accounts with them and get the things back."

"No need to go." Xu Nannan said calmly. These things are not worth anything to her. It doesn't matter to her whether she goes or not. The important thing is how to make a fuss about this matter. She was fed up with the old Xu's family making trouble in front of her again and again.

All along, she kept a respectful distance from the old Xu's family and didn't want to have any contact with them, so the methods she adopted were relatively gentle. I thought that as long as they were separated, everything would be fine.

Today's two actions made her understand that tolerance to the enemy is cruelty to herself. She had to teach the old Xu's family a lesson they would never forget.

Song Guihua didn't understand what was going on in her heart, and when she heard that she couldn't ask for something, she was anxious and angry, "What, your things have been taken away, why don't you ask for them back?"

Xu Nannan didn't answer, but asked instead, "Auntie, I've already been separated, and logically speaking, I'm not from their family anymore. Are they thieves when they come to my house to break open the door to get things?"

"Of course it's a thief!"

"Should the thief be arrested? Should he wear a high hat and be criticized?" Xu Nannan looked at Song Guihua and asked.

"Of course..." Song Guihua was startled, looked at her and said, "You want someone to catch them?"

Song Guihua really didn't expect this. In her subconscious mind, Xu Nannan and Mrs. Xu are family affairs. No matter how fierce the disturbance is, it will not involve crimes. "Nannan, do you really want to catch you and nurse them?" She was worried that what Xu Nannan said was angry.

"Auntie, it's not that I want to arrest them, it's that they won't give me a way out. This time I went to make a fuss, even if I got the things back, they will make a fuss again next time. How can I live a peaceful life? Xiaoman and I left Sometimes, they helped me with everything. When I went to the city and met good people, they helped us, and we bought some property, but they still reached out cruelly, and they wanted to kill us." Xu Nannan's tone was a little choked, Said eyes are red.

Song Guihua listened, feeling unhappy. I think the old Xu family is really nothing. The two children have left home, and they just want to live a peaceful life. Why does the old Xu's family keep making trouble with them. Too much deception!

"Okay, let's go to the village and report them. We must teach them a lesson!"

Steal? thief

In this small village, that has never happened before. At least after hitting the landlord class, no one in the village would steal anything. Even Xu Dasha, who is lazy and lazy all day long, dare not take the people's stitches.

But today, there was such a big case of 'burglary' in Xujia Village. The whole village boiled.

And this matter is not just speculation, it is evidenced by people. The first few families in the village saw it, and it was the letter from the daughter-in-law of Uncle Xu's family to report to the owner.

So after Xu Nannan went to the village to report the case, the village sent cadres to investigate the matter without much effort, and the suspects, Mrs. Xu and her daughter-in-law Zhang Cuiqin were quickly identified.

Xu Gensheng didn't know this until he met the cadres in the village. He also tried to persuade Xu Nannan to calm down, so as not to make a big fuss.

"This is a family after all, do you want to get the things back?"

"Uncle, I have already moved out of my household registration. Doesn't it count as a change of household registration? I have completed the procedures in the village, and the procedures for returning to the village will not be useful anymore."

After a few words, Xu Gensheng had nothing to say, and in the end his wife Liu Dahong pinched his ears and pulled him home.

After collecting the evidence, several cadres sent people from the militia to go to Lao Xu's house to arrest people.

Mrs. Xu and Zhang Cuiqin were checking the things they took from Xu Nannan's house. As soon as the militiamen entered the house, they caught everyone and took all the stolen goods.

"I'm wronged, I'm wronged. This is my own thing, why can't I take it?"

In front of the township cadres, Mrs. Xu lay on the ground and yelled.

Zhang Cuiqin was already pale with fright, trembling all over. "We didn't steal anything. These things belong to our family, so we can take them. Comrade, did you make a mistake?"

There are so many cadres in the village, anyway, some people report the case, some testify, and they get all the stolen goods. "You went to Xu Nannan's house to get something, but more than one person saw it. You can deny it. I said that you two comrades are too courageous. You dare to break open the door and steal things in broad daylight. It is useless to deny it now. , people have reported the case."

"Did that damn girl Erya report it? This heartless thing is trying to kill me. Comrade, don't listen to her nonsense, she is my granddaughter. Why can't I take her things? "

Mrs. Xu sat on the ground and cried.

"We don't care about that. Their household registration is in Xu Gui's family, not yours." Before they came, they had already figured out the relationship of this family. Although it is a bit special, they all act according to laws and regulations. People don't recognize it as a family anymore, so it's not right for you to take things like this.

The cadres asked people to tie him up directly and take him to the village to lock him up first. Go back to the village and deal with it.

When Zhang Cuiqin saw that these people had directly tied them up, she was so frightened that her legs went limp.

Mrs. Xu was also lying on the ground and rolling, but she didn't want to be tied up. The village cadres had no choice but to carry them away in groups of two.

When Grandpa Xu rushed back with his two sons and Liu Qiao, Mrs. Xu and Zhang Cuiqin had already been taken to the village.

Xu Jianhai worried, "Dad, what should we do? Both Mom and Cuiqin were taken away."

"Oh! I told them not to go before, and they didn't listen to me. Now something happened!"

Grandpa Xu stomped his feet angrily. In this case, he can't do anything. He didn't expect that he would be so cruel to take his granddaughter, and even report directly to arrest her.

During the famine two years ago, someone secretly hid some soybeans, was caught, and was criticized for several months. He was still a young boy, and he died later, and he is still alive today. The most exhausting work is done in the farm base. The whole family couldn't hold their heads up.

Now that my wife is making such a fuss, she still doesn't know how she will be punished.
