1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 258

Chapter 258 Mazu has the final say on major matters

About half an hour later.

The ground cage was taken to Tianhou Palace by people from both sides. Li Duoyu checked the cage.

“It's just like what Zhao Dahai said, there is indeed red paint on it.”

Chen Jiahao said anxiously: "Let me take a look."

He carefully looked around the cage and found that it really did not belong to their family. When things progressed to this point, not only he was anxious, but the people in Chenjiacun were also anxious.

Because if the wrong person is arrested, the people in Chenjia Village will really not be able to hold their heads up when they see Xiasha Village in the future.

Chen Jiahao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Maybe they deliberately wiped it with paint when they stole our cage."

Zhao Dahai said angrily: "Bitch, I already knew you would say this. My floor cage not only has this mark, the floor cage we bought from Lao Chen was a second-hand floor cage and it was broken in many places.

The seventh cage with strips had a hole, and we two brothers repaired it with nylon thread.

The halter was torn at the head and tail. It happened that the nylon thread of the same color was gone. We used white thread to repair it.

There is also a broken iron frame, which we fixed with short wooden sticks.

Zhao Dahai explained every detail of the ground cage.

This time Miao Zhu went up to inspect it personally, and then announced: "The ground cage is indeed exactly as Zhao Dahai said."

Chen Jiahao was sweating profusely and explained in a hurry: "It's possible that the two brothers stole our cage first and then put their own cage in it."

The young men who followed Chen Shuhao to beat up the Zhao brothers were sweating profusely now, and they quickly echoed:

“Yes, the two brothers must have stolen the cage first.”

After hearing this, Li Duoyu frowned and suddenly felt that these young people were going a little too far.

Before he got angry.

As the host, Miao Zhu said sternly: "Young man, in front of Mazu, you have to give evidence and you can't make irresponsible remarks."

What everyone didn't expect was that the two brothers swore to Mazu on the spot:

“Believer, Zhao Dahai.”

“Believer, Zhao Erniu.”

“I swear here that if we steal the ground cage in Chenjiacun, there will be thunder and lightning, and the boat will capsize when we go to sea in the future. We will give birth to children without buttholes and choke to death when drinking water.”

As soon as the oath is taken.

Everyone present started talking. Any fishermen who make a living by fishing would never dare to swear such a poisonous oath if they had done something wrong.

Zhao Dahai looked at Chen Jiahao and his group with hatred:

"I have sworn, do you dare to swear, if you wrongly accuse me, I will be hit by a ship when I go to sea."

Chen Jiahao gritted his teeth. It was dark that night, and he didn't pay much attention to the confiscated floor cages.

They didn't dare to swear at all. When the people in Chenjia Village saw this, they also understood that they were 100% wrong about this matter.

Chen Jiahao wiped the sweat from his forehead: "But our cage was obviously stolen twice. Even if it wasn't stolen by these two brothers, it was stolen by other people from your Xiasha Village."

It would have been fine if I didn't say this, but as soon as I said it, the scene exploded, and the young people in Xiasha Village became angry instantly.

“Be down-to-earth and provide evidence in everything you do.”

“What do you mean it must have been stolen by us? Is it possible that someone from your own village stole it?”

“Yes, maybe you are shouting to catch the thief.”

At this time, Li Duoyu said to Chen Jiahao and the others: "Since you arrested the wrong person and beat him up, you should decide whether to treat him privately or publicly."

Chen Jiahao lowered his head:

“What's private is what's public.”

Li Duoyu squinted his eyes and said calmly: "It's private. That's easy. Just talk to them and the two brothers in private."

“If it's official, I'll ask someone to go to the town police station to go through the process. Since you beat the wrong person, you must go to the police station to report it.”

The group of young people around Chen Jiahao turned pale with fright when they heard the word police station: "Brother Hao, let's go private."

Chen Jiahao glanced at the village council and the patriarch in a red coat: "It's better to keep it private."

The Zhao brothers looked at this group of people with evil intentions, and then said: "Let's go, I will take you to a place to have a good talk."

From a stone room not far away, there were continuous screams. It seemed that the Zhao brothers did not choose to ask for money.

After hearing the sound.

The people in Chenjia Village looked very ugly. Originally, they came to Xiasha Village to ask for punishment, but they didn't expect that the clown was themselves.

Everyone with burning faces stood up and prepared to leave.

Li Duoyu stopped them: "It's not easy to come here. Don't leave in a hurry. Uncle Liao, you have been standing here for so long. Let's prepare some tea for everyone."

Li Duoyu's uncle said: "This matter is our fault, but we have left it to you, what else do you want."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Uncle, if you say this, you are a bit out of touch. I just want to talk to you about home affairs."

Hearing Li Duoyu call him uncle, the old man was stunned for a moment, but he had a vague premonition of something ominous.

Li Duoyu felt that this kind of opportunity was too rare. It happened that the people in Chenjiacun were in the wrong, so now was the best time to talk.

“Everyone, it is now open. The planned economy has now become a market economy. Times are changing, and the relationship between our two villages should also look forward. What do you think?”

Li Duoyu's words shocked the older generation in both villages.

The people of Chenjia Village thought that this young man would take the opportunity to make trouble and embarrass the people of Chenjia Village.

The old man who told Li Duoyu about the past never expected that Li Duoyu would take the opportunity to solve this problem.

The old man couldn't help but think of two words.

Pattern!

He looked at Li Duoyu in front of him with admiration. This kid could always bring surprises to the older generation like them.

However, the speaker in the red coat said categorically: "This is impossible. We, the younger generation, dare not disobey the poisonous oath sworn by our ancestors." Li Duoyu really wanted to complain, your ancestors all Turned into ashes, he was still using the dead man's words as a token.

“Well, I originally wanted to say that when the next typhoon comes, let your village's boat come to our safe harbor, so that you will not suffer such serious losses.”

Hearing this, the fishermen with fishing boats in Chenjia Village were immediately moved. In a few months, the typhoon season will come again.

If Xiasha Village is willing to give them a safe haven when a typhoon comes, it will indeed save a lot of trouble.

“In a while, the inspection team from the island country will come to our Dandan Island to inspect, and maybe they will invest in some projects. I am also thinking about how to introduce your village.”

As soon as Li Duoyu said this, all the young people in Chenjia Village became excited.

“There is really an inspection team from the island country coming. When the time comes, will they come to our village?”

Li Duoyu nodded: "It's hard to say, but for now it is tentatively planned that he will come to our Dandan Island."

“Then when the time comes, can we come to your village and watch.”

“Of course it's no problem. If you come over, we'll treat you to tea.”

"real."

Under Li Duoyu's string of sugar-coated bullets, the young people in Chenjia Village became excited.

In fact, as the economy of the two villages has grown bigger and bigger, the educated young people in Chenjia Village still feel a little bit resentful about the poisonous oath their ancestors made back then.

It feels like the Qing Dynasty was closed to the country. Locking yourself in a room, you can only watch others develop better and better.

Chen Atai took the opportunity and said: "I may not believe Wang Dapao's words, but I, Chen Atai, can still vouch for Li Duoyu's character."

Seeing that more and more people are in favor, young people have also stood up and advised: "Patriarch, times are moving forward, and we should also change."

“The oaths made by our ancestors are very important, but we cannot ruin the jobs of our descendants. We also have to eat.”

“It just so happened that Xiasha Village had such a reasonable village director. Otherwise today, we would have settled the grievances we had had for so many years.”

Seeing that everyone started to object, the old man in red coat found it difficult to step down for a while, so he had to say: "I can promise you, but it's not my say on this matter, it's up to Mazu."

Chen Huowang knelt in front of Mazu, holding the wild rice in his hand and chanting something.

“Our Chenjia Village and Xiasha Village, our ancestors set a rule because of the aqueduct. If Mazu agrees to reconcile our two villages, then there are three Holy Grails.”

Hearing that he wanted three Holy Grails, Li Duoyu frowned. The old man obviously had no intention of making peace, because the probability of three Holy Grails was really not high.

The old man in the red coat held the throwing wild rice in his hand, shook it, and then threw it out.

The wild rice was rolled twice on the red brick floor, and a yin and a yang appeared.

“It's the Holy Grail.”

The people present cheered.

The old man then picked up the Holy Grail and threw it out for the second time. This time the throw rolled very far and hit the red column before stopping.

It's still one yin and one yang.

“Still the Holy Grail.”

The crowd watching on the scene became excited one by one: "Another Holy Grail."

Young people collectively shouted:

"another one."

The forehead of the old man in the red coat is also covered with sweat. If there is another one, then they really have to break their ancestors' oath and listen to Mazu.

The palms of the old man in the red coat were trembling, and he prayed in his heart that there would never be another Holy Grail.

This time he voted very high, but sometimes, what you fear the most will often come to you.

Look at the yin and yang.

Many young people present cheered, but Li Duoyu never thought that there were really only three Holy Grails.

Seeing the three Holy Grails, there was nothing anyone could do about Chenjiacun's words. After all, the ancestors had to listen to Mazu.

“Mazu is on top, and believers represent Chenjia Village. From now on, our two villages will no longer be opposed to each other, and men and women can intermarry.”

The old man in the red coat continued: "Go to our Chen family's ancestral hall and bring us the talisman that our ancestors swore on."

About an hour later, an old man brought over an old piece of talisman paper and burned it in front of Mazu.

The centuries-old grudge between the two villages was also wiped out once this talisman was burned.

The people of the two villages really didn't expect that they almost fought yesterday, but today the two villages reconciled like this.

The happiest people here are the couples who have secret love affairs, and now they can get married openly.

A young man from Xiasha Village said to a woman from Chenjia Village: "Ah Hui, we don't have to run away. Tomorrow I will ask the matchmaker to come to your house to propose marriage."

“Damn, you can move so fast? I will go to Chenjia Village to find a woman tomorrow.”

The young people in Chenjia Village stared and said: "There are no doors. There are more bachelors in our village than you. If you want to find them, we will come to your village to look for them."

“Come on, let's hurt each other.”

Chen Huiying on the side saw that the two villages had reconciled, and her eyes instantly turned red. Lao Li comforted her: "Find some time, and I will accompany you to the Chen Family Ancestral Hall to visit your father and mother."

"You, after all, still have some conscience, but your son is better."

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
