Chapter 1937 bow your head
Xia Yi squatted on the edge of the field and sulked. Of course he didn't feel comfortable using these old things before, because he was a winner. He only felt proud when he lived in Songhua Lane, without frustration or annoyance.
But now, he was driven back. It was already embarrassing enough, but now he even asked Zhou Man to search the inside and outside of his own house.
Even the bed he slept on was made by them. Just thinking about it made him feel as sick as eating a piece of meat wrapped in a fly.
It would be a pity to vomit, but it would be too painful and painful not to vomit.
Xia Yi hugged his head in discomfort, but it turned out that there was something even more uncomfortable.
The young people who were driven away were naturally not convinced. They had been busy all day, plastering walls, repairing roofs, and cleaning both the inside and outside. Not only did they invite us for a drink, but they should at least say thank you, right?
As a result, they were scolded and kicked out without saying anything.
There is no such truth in this world, so they went to the patriarch's house to complain noisily, secretly hinting whether they could tear off the roof of Xia Yi's house and get their thatch back.
As a result, the clan leader scolded him.
Is thatch the most expensive?
The most expensive thing is the effort of removing thatch and putting it up again!
The roof that had been repaired with great effort was demolished again. Are they too full to eat and have nothing to do? And are they planning to form a deadly feud with Xia Yi's family?
Patriarch Xia scolded the young men, and then sent people to find Xia Yi.
Because these were Xia Yi's clan brothers and nephews, Clan Chief Xia saved some face for Xia Yi and asked them to wait outside the door. Then he brought Xia Yi into the house and scolded him. He said:
"You guys helped you and got revenge? You didn't say thank you, but instead drove people away?"
Xia Yi frowned and said, "I don't want their help!"
Chief Xia narrowed his eyes and asked coldly: "What, do you want to leave the clan? Or buy a house in the city and decide not to return to the village in the future?"
Xia Yi was agitated, opened his mouth and was speechless.
Patriarch Xia snorted coldly and said angrily: "A person in his thirties will be a grandfather in two years, but he is still like this. Xia Man, no, it's Zhou Man! She knows the world better than you! Do you know?
, she has only been in the village for a day, and the people in the clan miss her more than they miss you!"
Xia Yi lowered his head and said nothing.
Chief Xia took a deep breath and thought to himself, had it not been for the fact that Xia Yi was Xia Yan's closest relative and had been talking about adopting him, they would never have given him the house in Songhua Lane.
It was just to make the appearance less ugly. Who knew that things that were thought to be settled back then could cause so many troubles now?
Patriarch Xia rubbed his forehead and said, "You, go and thank them. It's best to treat them to a meal to make amends."
Seeing that Xia Yi's face was still a little unconvinced, Chief Xia narrowed his eyes and said: "Xia Yi, if you still want to live in the village and interact with people in the clan, you have to do this. Otherwise, there will be something wrong in the future.
Don't come to me for anything."
Do you think everything is fine in the clan?
When the villagers divide the land, they will subconsciously divide the land of people with the same surname together, and the relationship is not good. This year I will open the land a little closer to your house, and next year I will plant mulberry and hemp to block the sunlight from your wheat.
There are many ways to make you feel uncomfortable.
Generally speaking, if a disadvantaged family encounters an unfavorable neighbor, they will find that the land becomes smaller and smaller after three to five years of farming. At this time, they have to rely on the clan leader and elders to mediate.
If Chief Xia is unwilling to mediate, no matter how evil Xia Yi is, he can still let others bully him to death when he is single and weak.
Xia Yi really didn't dare, so he could only agree reluctantly, and turned back to prepare vegetables and meat.
He had just moved back, and there were no vegetables or meat.
Originally, he had just come back, and if he pinched some from this family and pulled out a little from that, everyone would not object for the sake of his fellow tribesmen. It would be fine just waiting for him to plant the vegetable garden again, but now he has offended someone.
, if he wants to eat food, he has to spend money to buy it.
Someone also knew that he was going to treat a guest, so he specifically brought up the chicken at home and asked him if he wanted to buy it.
Because their children also went to help, this meal must be theirs, and they can eat it only when the food is good.
Xia Yi didn't want it, but Patriarch Xia's son stood aside and stared at him, so he could only grit his teeth and buy it.
Man Bao didn't know how depressed and aggrieved Xia Yi was that night. She asked Daji to choose two guards to go to Hongtian Village to collect rent the next day, and then went out to find a medicine store.
She wrote a prescription herself, bought ten doses of the medicine, and then sent the prescription to Xia Xia's home.
Xia Xia has been waiting for her at home.
He was seriously ill, and Hongtian Village was too far away, so he didn't go back yesterday, and Xia Rui didn't want to go back. He was looking for a shop these two days and planned to move it.
Man Bao handed the medicine and prescription to Xia Rui and didn't say much. In fact, both parties knew very well that Xia Xia didn't have much time. Man Bao was just a doctor, not a god, so there was nothing she could do.
It just slightly alleviated his pain and made the last period of his life less painful.
Xia Xia patted the edge of the bed with his skinny hands and said with a smile: "Come and sit here. How was your return to the clan yesterday?"
Man Bao said: "It's good. I have already made an agreement with the clan leader to let him recover half of the field and give it to Uncle Yitang as a token of my gratitude to him over the years. Since the rest has been given to Uncle Yitang,
If you are a poor member of the clan, then give it to them."
"I gave the land at Nanba to the clan as a school field, and I want to sell the land at Dongling."
"Sell it~~" Xia Xia sighed and said, "That's ancestral land. It's left by your ancestors. You might as well not sell it. It's good to rent it to others for farming. It's not bad to collect the rent every year."
He said: "If you are worried about not being able to collect the rent, I will ask Rui Bo to find some honest families in the village for you."
Man Bao said with a smile: "There are still crops growing in the fields. Selling them will only happen after the autumn harvest. I'm not in a hurry."
She doesn't intend to keep it. Although it is ancestral land, she has no shortage of land for farming now. Secondly, the land is in Hongtian Village, and it may not be good to get involved with them too much. This is what she and her two junior brothers decided after discussing it.
Decide.
She planned to leave this matter to her fourth brother when he came back from the grassland, or to Lijun, and let them buy the land. They would never lose money.
However, Man Bao didn't want Xia Xia to worry too much at the moment, as it wasn't certain whether his condition would last until autumn, so she wanted him to leave with peace of mind, so she nodded without any rebuttal.
Xia Xia couldn't help but smile on his face, tilted his head slightly and shouted outside, "Xiao Rui, bring the things quickly."
Manbao asked curiously: "What?"
Xia Xia smiled and said: "Your rent."
Man Bao then smiled, sat and waited, looked around and asked, "Where are Aunt Rui and my cousins? I haven't seen them yet."
Xia Xia gasped and said: "They, those who go to school go to school, and those who go to shops go to shops. They are all busy and can't get out for a while."
