Chapter 1932 Old grudges (March monthly ticket plus 5)

The elders of the    clan also saw the expression of Lao Zhoutou.

Seeing them come over, Lao Zhoutou immediately said: "No way, the family is still waiting for the renter to get off the pot this year. Don’t look at Man Bao’s salary, even if you don’t buy meat, you can buy a handful of vegetables in Beijing. It’s not enough to eat only greens."

The elders of the    clan almost exited, so why do you want to stay in the capital as a family?

  But seeing Zhou Man's face full of sweetness, and remembering that Qian's arrogant expression that day was that Zhou Man was raised by her, she had to be filial to her. After all, she suppressed the conversation and said nothing.

  After returning, the clan elders told the patriarch about Tianbian.

   Patriarch Xia frowned, and asked, "Is she telling the truth, or is she talking about us? What does this mean? Urging me to give her the rent? Or is she afraid that we will come home to fight the autumn wind in the future?"

"I can't see that she knows a lot about farming. She stood in the field and looked at the wheat for a while and then estimated the approximate output with us. I looked carefully and found that she estimated it was privately with us. The estimate is not much worse, but that’s it. Speaking of last year’s drought, she said without blinking that this year’s rent was no longer needed, and that she would help the family to support the widows and run schools."

   "Yes, but her uncle is very petty. If he hadn't stared at her, the land that Xu Li rented for a long time would probably be donated to the clan."

   "Looking at the appearance of Zhou's family, it seems that it is indeed not wealthy in the capital."

  "Do you think the clothes they wear are not wealthy?"

"Why don't you lose the battle? This is our Xia family's territory. Naturally, we have to dress better. If they wear poorly, who can afford them?" A clan veteran said: "But the official, I heard that the court paid back For those of cotton, they don’t wear cloths like those sold by outside cloth houses. They may be issued by the government.”

Patriarch Xia’s son also said: "Father, I heard that the two brothers in the Zhou family changed the door locks of the house yesterday. I heard people say that they wanted to buy some old furniture from the old market and add them. The house was rented out."

   Patriarch Xia: "...really so poor?"

  He didn’t believe it, “Don’t talk about the Zhou family, look at the clothes and accessories of her and the two little boys of the Bai family, do they seem to have no money? Don’t be fooled by her.”

"She is so strong, why do you want to lie to us?" A clan veteran said: "But it is true that she is dressed well, but she is always better off, she is not willing to fall behind in social relations. What's more?"

  "As for the two princes of the Bai family, whether they are from a family, they still have their background."

   Patriarch Xia came back to his senses and asked, "Why are you suddenly talking about her? What are you trying to do?"

  The elders were quiet, and after a long time, they said: "I didn't want to do anything. Didn't you suspect her bad intentions? We just thought, maybe she is really hard."

   Patriarch Xia coldly snorted: "No matter how hard it is, she will not change her ill-intentioned intentions. At this time, it is completely ill-intentioned to let us run a clan school..."

"You can't say that. She said it is not unreasonable. There are too few people in the clan to study. Before, there was no field for school. Now there is a piece of land. The husband's repair is enough. The clan takes turns to cultivate that field. Supply is, why stop the children from gaining interest?"

   "Reading not only costs Mr. Shuxiu, but also books, pen, ink, paper and ink, Mr.'s three meals a day, clothes for the four seasons, let alone building a school, these are all for money..."

   "There are so many people in the clan, just come out at that time."

Clan Chief Xia was a little annoyed: "Goro and Qilang are going to take the exam. As long as they pass the exam, they can try the exam after three or two years. Even if they fail the Jinshi exam, Mingke and other exams can be tried. At that time, the selection of officials will require the contribution of the family..."

  But Xia Goro and Xia Qilang are not their grandchildren, why should they use their own money to provide them?

  Before they had no choice, now they can also send their children to school, right?

   Patriarch Xia saw that the matter seemed to have returned to the origin of the dispute over the past few days, and suddenly he didn't want to speak.

   What makes him more tired is that even his sons and grandsons disagree with him. Obviously, they also want their children to go to school instead of paying for their nephews and cousins.

   Patriarch Xia waved his hand tiredly and asked, "Where are they?"

   "I went to Xia Yi's house. After all, I said it was the closest one. I have to go and see what I said."

   Patriarch Xia thought, is that irritating?

Man Bao is really not going to irritate people. Even if she went with this idea, she couldn't show it. A bunch of young people from the Xia clan followed behind her, all of her cousins, uncles and nephews. They, although she didn't know any of them.

  Xia Yi’s family is on the edge of Hongtian Village, with the field in front and several families in the back.

  At the place, Man Bao nodded with satisfaction. It was really dilapidated. There were a few mud rooms, the outside walls were a little peeling off, and the yellow mud walls were pitted, and some could even see the house from the outside.

  It’s still summer, and people will freeze to death in winter.

  Man Bao paced over, sighing as he approached, and asked, "Isn't the righteous cousin not repairing houses before?"

  A cousin replied: "I come back two or three times a year, and every time I stay for three or two days, who can fix it patiently?"

  Who would think that Xia Yan’s granddaughter would come back alive? It didn't matter if I returned, it actually made the clan spit out what he had eaten in his mouth.

  Man Bao looked at Xia Yi’s house and sighed, and he shook his heart. This was simply for her, no wonder he was always bullied by her father.

  This is the fate of heaven.

  Xia Yi’s two sons and a daughter saw Zhou Man and the others coming, and they all stood in the yard staring at them with a bit of hatred, and they were not allowed to enter.

  Except for the little girl who was only seven or eight years old, the other two were about the same age as Man Bao, but she looked at their size and firmly believed that they were younger than her, so she smiled and asked, "Are you my cousin?"

  The three of them stared at her without answering.

  The young people who followed saw her seemingly indifferent, and had a more favorable impression of her, so they took the initiative to explain: "They are younger than you."

Among the young people who followed were much older than her, they had impressions of the past, and sometimes the adults in the family would also talk about it, so they revealed without blocking: "Back then, your grandfather said that he was going to be a step-by-step man. Uncle just kept waiting, and finally waited until your mother was about to get married before you started talking about kissing, so they are all younger than you."

  Man Bao:……

  Bai Shan couldn't help but lowered his head and laughed out loud.

Man Bao was a little uncomfortable, so he looked at the courtyard of Xia Yi's house and found a lot of furniture in the courtyard. He sighed, "How can this work? If it is placed in the open air, no matter how good the furniture is, it will be broken. Don't move in?"

   still the young cousin replied: "It's messy inside, how to put it, I don't know if there is a pit on the ground."

  This is really bad enough. This is definitely not going to live in the hometown, so you will try to ruin the qualified home?

  　 See you tomorrow, hahahaha
