She made fire by setting up a stall

Chapter 496
Zhang Dadong cannot appear in front of the villagers.

Shi Luo patted the five little ghosts into the yellow talisman paper again.

There are not many houses on the mountain, and there are few people. The group walked for a long time without seeing a passing villager.

The hammer made gestures from all angles before finding the house that the elder sister said looked like three grasshoppers on a rope.

These three houses are in a line, but they are in the pattern of top, middle and bottom.

In the middle are the most dilapidated brick houses.

This is the house of the eldest and the third of the three brothers. The house of the second is a little far away, and the second is a small two-story building.

According to the eldest sister of the supermarket, most of the people in the village have gone out to work, not to mention young people, even middle-aged people in their forties or fifties will not stay at home.

Except for the three brothers of the Zhang family.

The three brothers were greedy and lazy when they were young. Zhang Qin and Zhang Dadong used to do all the work at home. When Zhang Dadong died and Zhang Qin married, the three had already decided their sex. Father chased and beat him.

Ordinarily, these three people should not have married a wife, but who let the three of them have Zhang Qin, the elder sister who married into the town and has money.

But when the three daughters-in-law got married, she realized that she regretted it. Zhang Qin was not close to the three brothers. No matter how Zhang Qin's father and Zhang mother were beating around, asking Zhang Qin to help the three younger brothers, she did not let go.

Zhang Qin even said in front of the spectators that she had only one brother, and his brother was Zhang Dadong, who had been dead for several years.

Even if they are married, they can't leave. The three daughters-in-law can only hold their noses and recognize each other.

Of course, they also had a small hope in their hearts, hoping that one day Zhang Qin would think about this sister-brother relationship and let them leak a little from her fingers.

Later, the second daughter-in-law realized the reality and went to work in a restaurant in the county seat. After a few years, she came back and built a small two-story building.

People in the village have different opinions about how the second daughter-in-law earned so much money to build a small building.

This second child is different from his father. People in the village whispered in his ears that the money his wife earns is not clean, but the second child doesn’t care. He even proudly shows off to the villagers that he can live in Xiaoyang without exhausting himself. Building, this small western-style building is the same as the one in the town.

The people in the village were shocked by his shamelessness, and later even said in front of him that his wife was a female branch girl in the county town, Zhang Laoer had a thick skin, anyway, he would not lose a piece of meat after saying that, this kind of thing was a problem at first It's fresh, it's been a long time, and people don't care, so it's boring to gossip.

Besides, to be able to marry someone like Zhang Laoer, the second daughter-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The villagers dare to say it in front of Zhang Laoer, but they dare not go to the second daughter-in-law. Everything is revealed.

Anyway, regardless of whether it is true or not, this kind of private matter can always cause gossip mentality. There are shameless people in the village, of course they don't want others to discuss themselves.

As for the other two daughters-in-law of the Zhang family, the eldest daughter-in-law died of dystocia when she gave birth to her third daughter, and later married a woman from the next village. She can make money to support the family, and now the couple are at home, relying on the monthly pocket money of the four children to live on, the first three children were born to the eldest daughter-in-law who passed away, the fourth son was born to his step-wife, and the four children have grades. They are all average. They quit school a long time ago and went out to work as soon as they became adults.

The third daughter-in-law is a dodder, and she depends on the third to live, and the two of them plus the child can live to adulthood, relying on the old couple of the Zhang family.

A group of people went straight to the old house in the middle.

Because people in the village live on the mountain, they stepped on the mountain to make small paths.

Several people walked on the path as if walking on the ground.

Before reaching the old house, I heard a crisp sound, followed by screams.

"If you drop the bowl again, you won't eat in the future. If you die of starvation, you will fall down." Immediately, a woman in her 40s came out angrily, slapping the splashed soup on her body and cursing, "Immortal, I've done you a favor by delivering food to you, if my previous temper was followed, even if you starved to death, I wouldn't even blink."

"Dadong! My Dadong!" An elderly woman cried from the broken house behind her.

The middle-aged woman paused, turned her head, faced the dark doorway, and sneered, "Now I think of your short-lived eldest son? I didn't see how kind you were to people when you were alive. When you die, you don't even have a coffin. I don’t even want to pay for the money, if the boss has a soul, he would hate you to death.”

If it weren't for the eldest sister who burned incense for that brother every year, after so many years, few people would remember him.

"Don't think I don't know. You had money back then, and the old Ren's family gave a lot of gifts to the elder sister. You were reluctant to make a coffin for the boss. You also said that everyone died anyway, and the money was left to the living. Only flowers are useful." The middle-aged woman wears heavy makeup, which seems to be of ordinary craftsmanship. When she opened her mouth to curse, the bloody mouth made people look frightened.

"I think you are about to die, so you miss the dead boss?" The middle-aged woman scolded meanly, "If you want to die, die sooner, so I have to run back and forth to bring you food."

Within a few years of Zhang Dadong's death, the original second child became the boss, and in turn, her man became the second child.

"When the eldest brother and the third child got married, you secretly gave them money. When it was my old Zhang's turn, you cried poorly in front of me." But she finds a lover first, saying that her lover is pregnant and clamoring to get married.

The second child became the last of the Zhang family to marry.

Thinking of relatives coming to her natal family on the day of the wedding, the banquet held by the Zhang family was shabby, with only two meat dishes per table, and the portion was small, she had a quarrel with her in-laws that day, and the quarrel that hadn't stopped for so many years, middle-aged Women's faces are even darker.

There is an old saying in the countryside that "the youngest son is the eldest grandson, the life of the old man." ', the eldest grandson is in the old family, and the youngest son is the third child. The old couple of the Zhang family tend to favor these two people and always secretly give them food.

The woman turned her head and gave a loud bah, then hurried down the mountain, "If you don't eat, you will be hungry for two days!"

After walking a few steps, he happened to meet the hammer head-on.

"Who are you looking for?" The anger on the woman's face had not dissipated, and her tone was inevitably a little rushed.

"We want to find Zhang Dadong's family." Hammer said bluntly.

This middle-aged woman had never met Zhang Dadong before. She knew that her husband had told her about the Zhang family's affairs, and she had also heard from the older generation in the village.

Zhang Dadong was a stranger to her, and just now she took Zhang Dadong's matter against her mother-in-law, and she didn't really fight for him, she just wanted to stab her mother-in-law.

"Are you talking about my uncle who has been dead for many years?" The woman saw that the aura of these people was unusual, her anger dissipated, her thoughts changed, and she forced a smile on her face.

"Yes." Hammer said inscrutablely, "We have a relationship with Zhang Dadong, and we will visit his family and hometown for him."

"Oh, really?" The woman glanced at a few cars on the side of the road. She had been in the city and knew that these cars were not cheap, so her smile became more genuine. "My old Zhang is my uncle and his brother."

"My old Zhang has been thinking about his elder brother all these years. He visits his elder brother's grave every year, and even calls him elder brother several times when he is drunk." I want to adopt the child to my eldest brother, so that he will have someone to succeed him, and he will also have someone who will be filial to him in the future."

Of course they didn't believe Shi Luo.

Speaking of which, the closest thing to Zhang Dadong is the old man who is still alive in the back room. If they give money to the old woman, it will definitely be deducted by the boss and the third child. The second wife's expression changed again, and she said sadly : "Back when my elder brother was gone, my parents-in-law heard from the old man that it was not good to bury people who left without getting married in the ancestral grave, which would affect Feng Shui, so they found a random place to bury the elder brother."

Speaking of this, the woman sighed loudly, "I was not married at the time, if I were married, I can't let them treat my uncle like this."

The woman didn't lie. If Zhang Qin hadn't bought a coffin for Zhang Dadong and repaired the tomb later, the Zhang family would have forgotten where Zhang Dadong was buried.

At first, knowing how much Zhang Qin valued Zhang Dadong, the second elder husband and wife went to burn paper for Zhang Dadong in order to please Zhang Qin, but they were reprimanded by Zhang Qin, and the three brothers of the Zhang family never went there again.

Five yellow talisman paper figurines flew out from behind the hammer one by one.

In the lead was a larger cardboard figure, which flew straight into the house.

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged woman fell to the ground in shock. She looked at the flying yellow talisman, then at the hammer and the others, "You, who are you?"

Hammer suddenly turned cold, and said casually: "More than 30 years ago, Zhang Dadong offended us. We have been looking for him for 30 years, and finally found him. Since he is dead, we can't come here in vain. Since we are brothers , you will replace him—"

Before Zhang Jia finished speaking, the woman screamed and interrupted Zhang Jia, "How many years has he been dead, what does it have to do with us?"

"He has the best relationship with Eldest Sister." The woman continued, "Eldest Sister still has money at home, you go to her, she is in the town, her family still lives in a villa, and has a nanny."

Anyway, she couldn't get any cheap from Zhang Qin, and she would be happy to see Zhang Qin being troubled by someone.

"What you said is true?" Hammer asked condescendingly.

The woman nodded desperately, "If you don't believe me, just ask the people in the village, everyone in the village knows."

"If you lie to me—" Hammer didn't finish his sentence, but his fierce expression said everything.

"No, I dare not lie to you."

When the woman ran down, the hammer snorted, "Look, how easy it is to dismiss them."

If it's a good thing, the three brothers will definitely try their best to come up with it, and if it's a bad thing, they will definitely avoid it.

Hammer this out to avoid a lot of trouble.

"Brother Hammer, you have a really smart brain." Qu Hao joined in.

Hammer raised his chin, "Small."

A woman's cry came again from the dilapidated house, "Dadong, Dadong, I'm sorry! You're back, won't you be angry with your mother?"

As for the fact that Zhang Dadong appeared in front of his mother, the few people were not worried that it would be leaked out. I am afraid that no one would believe what a person with Alzheimer's disease said.

After entering the door, Zhang Dadong didn't speak.

Probably because she was getting old, and there was nothing to scare her. Mother Zhang looked at the five little paper figurines in the air, and stretched out her hand to the biggest one, "Dadong, are you here to pick up mom? Mom regrets it!"

Children are born with admiration for their parents. Zhang Dadong once relied on his mother, but his mother listened to his father in everything. As the eldest son in the family, Zhang Dadong has always been regarded as the pillar of the family, and Zhang Qin replaced him in his heart. The role of mother, even though Zhang Qin is only three years older than him.

Zhang's mother's legs and feet were no longer flexible. She was sitting on an old wooden chair, and because she was too anxious to catch Zhang Dadong, she threw herself down.

Zhang Dadong moved, but stopped again.

Just like that, I watched my mother fall to the ground.

If it is said that he had indifferent feelings towards his mother before he died, after hearing the words of the eldest sister and the second daughter-in-law in the supermarket, Zhang Dadong hated Zhang's mother in his heart.

Both are sons, how can she treat them so differently?
Shi Luo and several people also entered the house.

Zhang's mother couldn't move, she ate and drank in the room, and the room didn't have any windows for ventilation, which made the room smell so bad that it made people feel nauseous.

Qu Hao had never smelled such a bad smell anyway, so he couldn't hold back, turned around and ran out.

Even Xue Cheng and Qi Xiaobo had different expressions.

Shi Luo and Hammer have the same expressions.

Shi Luo stepped forward and lifted up the thin mother Zhang.

Hammer raised the chair, and Shi Luo put Mother Zhang back on the chair.

"Are you Dadong's friends?" Zhang's mother was so thin that she was only skin and bones, and there was a pair of sunken eyes embedded in her wrinkled face. The pupils were cloudy, but they were shining brightly at the moment.

"It is." Shi Luo said.

Zhang's mother didn't listen to Shi Luo's words at all, she stubbornly felt that Shi Luo and his party were Zhang Dadong's friends, Zhang's mother reached out to grab Shi Luo's hand.

Her hands haven't been washed for a long time, even if they are full of wrinkles and spots, they can't hide the yellowish brown on the top.

Shi Luo didn't reach out his hand.

Hammer heaved a sigh of relief.

Even a big man like him can't hold these hands, let alone allow Master Shi to hold them.

It's not that Shi Luo dislikes the dirt on Mother Zhang's body, she doesn't want to meet this person.

As the second daughter-in-law said, if you don't treat people well when you are alive, you will soon forget them when you are dead, and you will regret it when you are about to die.

This regret is of no use other than disgusting.

Zhang Dadong stared fixedly at Zhang's mother, and the hatred that had surged in his heart just now gradually dissipated.

It must be retribution for her to end up like this today.

"I have been dead for more than 30 years. You gave birth to me and raised me until I was ten years old. After I was ten years old, I would do all kinds of work. I lived until I was 19 years old. I happened to repay your kindness. After I died, you will take care of me at will. I buried it and didn’t even give me a coffin, so I will repay this kindness, I don’t hate you anymore, and I don’t have the slightest affection for you.” Zhang Dadong said.

"Before I died, I saw how you treated the eldest sister. I guess the eldest sister also wanted to take care of you at the beginning, but you only have those three sons in your heart. I guess the eldest sister gave you money and food. You have given it to your son and grandson, and it will be useless for her to give you more." Zhang Dadong guessed.

Mother Zhang is sober at the moment, she can't say anything to refute.

What Zhang Dadong said was true. At that time, the man had just died, and she could only rely on the child to support her. At first, the eldest daughter would give her money privately and buy her food. It’s just that she has been used to taking care of her son and grandchildren for so many years. , In the end, she didn't have any money, and everything went into the mouths of her sons and grandchildren.

She thought that if she was so kind to her son, he would always support her to grow old.

It's just that she forgot a word, called a loving mother but a loser.

Zhang's mother always regretted it when she was sober, and then she remembered Zhang Dadong's goodness. When Zhang Dadong was alive, when a man beat her, Zhang Dadong always stopped her. For this reason, the man would always turn his anger to vent On Zhang Dadong.

When she was pregnant with the next few children, Zhang Dadong would dig out bird eggs for him when there was nothing to eat.

It's just that this child doesn't know how to speak, and usually does it in silence. He also has a cold face all the year round. Such a child is not easy to please his parents.

"Don't bother my sister anymore." Zhang Dadong said, "She won't owe you any more."
