Chapter 14 The traitor at the entrance of the village
There are three major surnames in Shanghuai Village.

The first surname is Yin, the second surname is Ma, and the third surname is Lu.

The old village branch leader’s surname is Yin, the village committee director’s surname is Ma, and they are the first family with an annual income of over 10,000 yuan. Lu Yang’s master’s surname is Yin, and his master’s wife Ma Xiulan is also from the same village and married into the family with the surname Ma.

Although there are three major surnames in Shanghuai Village, the Lu surname has no presence at all, simply because the Lu surname has the smallest number of people and they are outsiders. According to the family tree, they fled from the north to escape famine during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, and it has been less than a hundred years since then.

Therefore, all the people with the surname Lu in the village are relatives within the fifth degree of mourning.

Lu Yang's gambler father, Lu Erpiezi, has an older brother, Lu Dapiezi. Both brothers were left-handed since childhood, so they were given such bad nicknames by their fellow villagers.

Lu Yang's uncle, Lu Dapiezi, has seven children, not counting those who died young. They are named Ren, Youyi, Youli, Youzhi, Youxin, Chunhua and Xiahua, in order of Ren, Yi, Li, Zhi and Xin for boys, and Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong for girls. There is no name for Qiu and Dong yet. The eldest, Lu Youren, is already 31 this year. Lu Yang's cousin just married his wife last year. The youngest girl, Xia Hua, just turned ten today.

Logically speaking, although Lu Yang lost his father at a young age and his mother ran away, he still had his uncle and many uncles within the five degrees of mourning in the village, so he would not have almost starved to death. He was also chosen by the carpenter Old Man Yin and was raised as the son-in-law of the Yin family at an early age.

The root cause of this is that Lu Dapiezi himself is as bad as his brother.

The wife he married is a shrew.

The couple was not good at doing anything else, but they were very keen on having sons. They had one every one or two years, almost without interruption. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Yang's uncle had a serious illness ten years ago and his aunt had not been unable to get pregnant due to her old age, they would have given birth to a football team based on the couple's temperament.

Moreover, the couple can have children, but they are not very enthusiastic about working in the fields. Although Lu Dapiezi is not a gambler like his younger brother Lu Erpiezi, he is a well-known drunkard and lazy man in the village. What's more, the couple gave birth to so many children in a row, so how could their family not be poor.

Just like this, you still expect them to help Lu Yang?

Of course, not all members of Lu Yang's uncle's family are bad people. Lu Yang's eldest cousin Lu Youren was very nice to Lu Yang in the past. He is also a very responsible person. When he was a teenager, he followed his parents to dig for food in the soil. He was a good worker in the production team era. After the production team was disbanded, he took the initiative to undertake most of the farm work on the few acres of farmland allocated to the family. He took care of his parents and supported his younger brothers and sisters.

Otherwise, he would not have waited until last year, until he was in his thirties and became an older bachelor in the village, before he got married.

This was Lu Yang's first long journey, and the first thing he considered was the character of his fellow travelers, so he thought of him first.

Ride the new bicycle my father-in-law bought for me.

Lu Yang turned his head and said to Yin Mingyue who was washing clothes for him in the yard: "Wife, I'm going to my uncle's house. You don't have to save me lunch."

The farthest distance from east to west, north to south, of Xiahuai Village is more than ten miles.

There are ten villagers' groups under it.

Each villager group consists of a dozen to twenty households, and the houses are scattered in clusters in different places within a ten-mile range from east to west, north to south.

The villagers' group is the former production team.

But the villagers don't call it that. They still insist on following the old way. Whenever they introduce themselves to others, they say they are from the so-and-so production team of Xiahuai Village. There is absolutely no way they would introduce themselves as being from the so-and-so villagers' group of Xiahuai Village.

Old Man Yin lives in the east end of the village and belongs to the first villager group. There is a dirt road connecting to the town, and it is also the villager group closest to the town.

Lu Yang's original home and his uncle's current home are both at the west end of the village, belonging to the ninth villager group, close to the mountains.

Even if you go there by bike and want to have a serious conversation, you will definitely not be able to come back in time for lunch.

Passing by the brigade headquarters at the entrance of the village, Lu Yang got off his bicycle in front of the small store run by Ma Laoliu in his memory. He spent three yuan to buy a bottle of Lao Baisha wine, and also packed fifty cents of peanuts and fifty cents of dried fish. When he reached the door, he went back and spent another yuan to buy five old red bean popsicles.

This is prepared for several underage cousins ​​from my uncle's family.

Lao Baisha, peanuts for drinking, and dried fish. Based on Lu Yang's understanding of his uncle and aunt, they had no share in these.

On a hot day.

It's better to wait for a while at the door and give them the prepared wedding candies first, and then give each of them an old popsicle, so that when they enter the house, the younger brothers and sisters can only watch with envy. "Hey, isn't this Brother Lu Yang, the son-in-law of Carpenter Yin, who just made a fortune? He bought so many things!"

"And there's wine."

"We are all from the same village, why don't you treat us brothers to a drink?"

"Stop, I'm calling you."

Lu Yang didn't want to cause any trouble, but he was blocked at the door.

At first glance, they are obviously a bunch of idiots.

"Ma Lao San, you dare to block my front door. Do you believe that when my Lao Liu comes back, I will ask him to cut you?"

Ma Laoliu's wife is big and strong.

Seeing that Lu Yang, who had just bought something from his store, was stopped at the door of his store, he was so angry that he quickly squeezed in front of Lu Yang with his fat body shaking, not giving any face to Ma Laosan, the cousin of his husband, and pointed at the other's nose and spitted everywhere.

Pushing people out again.

Ma Laosan was a skinny guy, and Laoliu's wife was a big and strong woman, so they pushed him to the ground.

Even the few idiots behind Ma Laosan who wanted to help him couldn't stop him.

"I'll go, so fierce?"

Lu Yang was stunned.

I haven't even made a move yet.

They are just a few idiots. Of course he is not afraid, because he is 1.80 meters tall and has been doing carpentry work with the master for many years. He can handle wood weighing more than 100 pounds with his hands.

"Oh my butt, Liu Xiaoe, are you crazy? How dare you push me?"

Ma Laosan's face was deformed after the fall. He jumped up and wanted to punch the fat woman in front of him in the face. A fool like him had no idea that he couldn't hit a woman.

Although Lao Liu's wife was a little fat, she was very flexible. She covered her face to avoid the punches and ran to the store. When she came out again, she was holding a boning knife in her hand and said angrily: "Ma Lao San, you eunuch, you dare to hit a woman, right? Do you believe me, I will chop you up?"

Ma Laosan was so scared that his legs went limp.

"Quick, help me up, brothers, let's retreat first. This crazy woman really dares to chop people. Her father is a butcher, and her grandfather is also a butcher. Although she doesn't kill pigs now, she beats her husband at home when she has time. Her husband, Lao Liu, is my cousin. Even though he doesn't come to this store often, he was beaten by this woman. She thinks it's embarrassing to have bruises on his face."

The few idiots who were helping him run outside couldn't help but roll their eyes and say, "How dare you mess with her?"

Ma Lao San stammered, "I-I saw the good wine and the peanuts and dried fish that can go with the wine and I was jealous. I should have waited for this guy to leave the store before we blocked him."

"What a pity! My good wine."

"It's okay. There's still a chance. This guy has money. Let's stop him next time."

"How about setting up a game?"

"Right, right, right, let's set up a trap. This kid has a dowry of 5000 yuan. Even if we divide this huge sum of money equally among the brothers, it will be enough for us to spend for a while."
