Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 357: Not a Family
That day, when it was almost time for dinner, Zheng Linsheng ran into the house from outside, hurried into the inner room, carried a bag of food and walked outside.

Seeing this, Zheng Xidong quickly walked over to stop the man, "What are you doing!"

She didn't have a nice tone when speaking to this uncle who tried to sell her out.

"Get out of the way!" Zheng Linsheng pushed the person away impatiently.

After all, there was a huge difference in strength between men and women, and Zheng Xidong hit the door frame because of the force.

Hearing the noise, Zhou Erya and Zheng Xichun came out from the kitchen and asked, "What's going on?"

Zheng Xidong clenched his fist, endured the pain and blocked Zheng Linsheng again, "Where are you going to carry the food again?"

"It's none of your business!" Zheng Linsheng looked ferocious and even wanted to kick someone.

This time Zheng Xidong was prepared and was not kicked by him, but because of his avoidance, Zheng Linsheng found an opening and ran away.

Zheng Xidong's father, Zheng Jiasheng, was chopping wood in the yard. He saw clearly what happened at the door just now, but he didn't do anything, let alone ask a question.

Seeing the man carrying the food away, Zheng Xidong looked at her father with a knife-like look in her eyes. Seeing her father was about to lower his head to work again, Zheng Xidong finally exploded, "Don't you care?"

"How do you talk like that?" Zheng Jiasheng now had the authority of a parent.

Zhou Erya also gently pushed Zheng Xidong and said, "Talk to your father nicely."

Zheng Xidong took a few steps forward and patted the spot where her mother had touched her. "That's how I talk. If you don't like it, that's your business."

Zheng Jiasheng clenched his fists, looking like he was going to teach Zheng Xidong a lesson.

Zheng Xidong was determined to do it. "If you have the guts, chop me with the axe in your hand! Come on!"

Her eyes were red, like a demon that had struggled out of the land. This look really scared Zheng Jiasheng.

"You...what do you look like!"

"How much food has he moved from home these days? Do you really not care?"

"What's there to worry about? There's plenty of food at home, and only a few bags are missing."

Even Zhou Erya couldn't bear to hear this, "Move two bags a day, and it won't take long to finish. What will we eat then?" "I'll tell him, he knows the idea." Zheng Jiasheng always has blind confidence in his younger brother.

"Does he know?" Zheng Xidong laughed, "If he knew, he would sell his wife and children!"

"Why do you always say this? Do you still want to live like this..."

"Shut up!" Zheng Xidong didn't want to listen to Zheng Jiasheng's nonsense anymore, "You are the same person as him, you also want to sell me, so you don't care.

In this case, I will divide the property with you. You can give me the grain that is due to me, and you can do with the rest as you wish."

In fact, Zheng Xidong had followed Zheng Linsheng the day before and knew what he was going to do with the food, but she deliberately didn't say it. She knew the man's personality too well. He would use food when there was food, and when the food was used up, it was time to use people.

Didn't her father always carry this burden with him and refuse to throw it away? She had said long ago that he should also have a taste of what it felt like to be sold.

Zheng Xidong's proposal to divide the family was not just verbal, she also asked Zheng Xichun to call the village chief over.

"What are you talking about? Do you know what you are saying?" Zheng Jiasheng was angry and unbelievable. He wanted to call Zheng Xichun, but he didn't expect that Zheng Xichun completely ignored him.

Soon the village chief Li Erfang was called over.

Hearing that Zheng Xidong wanted to separate from her father, Li Erfang smiled awkwardly, "Really?"

"Village chief, the government appointed you as village chief because they think you are a fair person." Zheng Xidong was much calmer in front of Li Erfang, no longer as crazy as before. "I can't make a living anymore, so I asked you to make a fair judgment on whether to divide this family."

"Okay, tell me."

"Everyone in the neighborhood knows who my uncle is. You know him, too. He never works and only enjoys himself. The family has finally managed to store some food, but he carries it out in bags every day. Does he have the nerve to take this food?"

Seeing more and more people gathered outside the fence to watch the fun, Zheng Jiasheng felt embarrassed and scolded Zheng Xidong, "Stop talking!"

Zheng Xidong automatically ignored his words.

Li Erfang said: "I don't know if he has the face, but you want to split up the family because of this?"

"I want to split up because of my father. He has no brains and only spoils Zheng Linsheng. He is willing to feed his family like meat to his brother. I don't want that. I want to survive. I don't want to be a family with him."
