In the twinkling of an eye, on the seventh day of the lunar new year, the cemetery was repaired as early as yesterday evening, and it would be proper to come here again today to worship.
The two tombs are no longer covered with weeds as before, and they are no longer two small earth bags. Now they have been reinforced and raised with stones and yellow mud, and become majestic and tall. Tombstones were erected in front of the two graves, on which their life stories were written.
Next to the ground are also paved with bluestone, along with the surrounding also surrounded by a circle, the two graves surrounded, it seems to be very proud.
This side of the homestead was also flattened, and a bluestone path was built to facilitate the future access, so as not to be blocked by weeds.
Mr. Yin Yang did all that they had to do. Song Xintong knelt down and burned the paper money again. When they kowtowed, she was very sincere, because they were going to leave soon. They didn't know when they would come again. Maybe they would come next year or not.
After getting up, Lu Yunkai took song Xintong to one side and arched his hands to the ten yamen servants who came, "thank you for taking the time to come."
"You are welcome, Mr. Lu." The leading yamen officer touched his waist knife, then looked at some villagers standing around and said in a loud voice, "that day, after we went back to the county, we reported the matter of song hunter to the county magistrate. The magistrate said that it was very clear whether it was right or wrong. This was because you had done something wrong. People have not investigated your fault for so many years. Just apologize, They won't bite you. "
"The magistrate knows?" The villagers on one side turned pale. They thought village head Xu could solve the problem, but... Do they really want to kowtow and admit their mistakes?
The day before yesterday, several women who got mutton soup stood up and said in a loud voice: "after what happened to song hunter, I lost my baby again. I feel guilty at the bottom of my heart. I dare not go up this road for so many years."
"At the beginning, we did something wrong. Let's admit it and ask for peace of mind." The old woman patted her leg, pretending not to be comfortable, and said, "I can't kneel down, so I'll let my son and grandson go and admit a mistake with song hunter."
As soon as the voice fell, a son and two little grandchildren behind her went over and kowtowed to the grave of song hunter. Then they looked at Song Xintong and waited for her to speak.
The twins took song Xintong's hand and said: "elder sister, let's forgive them?"
Song Xintong gave a hum and nodded.
The mother-in-law happily called back her son and grandson, then patted her chest and said in a loud voice, "well, the big stone at the bottom of my heart has finally disappeared. It's really great."
Song Xintong hissed from the bottom of her heart. Her acting skill is very good. She should be awarded a best actress award at the Oscar.
After all, no one wants to be caught by the government. As long as they don't get caught and beaten, they just kneel down and admit their mistakes. What's wrong?
Song Xintong looks at the people who come to admit their mistakes one after another indifferently. Do these people really admit their mistakes sincerely? Of course not. They're just scared.
If it wasn't for village head Xu's guilty conscience, she might not have forced them to do so at all. She might have left after the repair.
However, village head Xu came to the door with his brain pumping. He was so careless that he had no brain. He said some soft words to make her happy. I can't say that she would give them some benefits. Unfortunately, he really had no brain! I don't know how to be the village head.
Soon, the villagers got down on their knees. Some of them didn't want to do it, but they had to do it. Anyway, it wasn't their family who lost face.
Soon, only the Xu family was left. They didn't want to kneel down, but they were afraid. They had planned to give some money to the Yamen servants, but they didn't accept it at all. Do they really want to admit their mistakes like the song hunter?
Song Xintong saw their unwillingness, "several adults, since they don't want to, I don't want to force them."
At the same time, Lu Yunkai took out a piece of paper full of words from his sleeve. "Several adults, this is the paper. Please give it to the county magistrate."
"No..." old man Xu, who was late, yelled, "you guys go and admit a mistake to Uncle song."
Several of the Xu family's grandchildren called out: "my Lord."
"You don't listen to me, do you?" Old man Xu's hoarse voice yelled: "hurry up, don't delay the business."
Forced out of the grandchildren had to come out, very reluctantly knelt down, said: "we are wrong, you forgive us."
After that, he got up directly without kowtowing to burn incense.
Song Xintong hissed, "we can't afford to admit your mistake like this."
The Xu family's grandchildren immediately became angry: "how can you be a woman here?"
"If you don't want to." Lu Yunkai held song Xintong behind him and handed the paper to the Yamen servant: "I want to sue the Xu family for occupying the land of my wife's son and spreading rumors to damage the reputation of my son and my father. Please ask the county magistrate to make decisions for the students."
In fact, the Yamen officer thought that he had come here to get the money to settle the matter. But he didn't expect that the Xu family were too ignorant of the current affairs. He looked at several people impatiently and said, "come on, take them..."
Before he finished speaking, the old man of the Xu family went to the grave and said, "I'll come."
"Father / master, you can't..." cried the Xu family.
Old man Xu pushed away a few people: "go away."
Song Xintong frowns and looks at the old man of Xu family who kowtows to admit his mistake. In order to keep the reputation of Xu family and the position of village head of Xu family, he is unwilling to admit his mistake.
Power is really a good thing.
When the old man Xu admitted his mistake, the descendants of the Xu family stared at Song Xintong with red eyes, "are you satisfied now?"
Song Xintong hissed, "your grandfather is like this. You forced me. If I had such an unfilial son and grandson, I would have been killed."
"You..." the Xu family was so angry that they had to start. Old man Xu put a stick on his leg and then said to song Xintong, "Song family, it's feasible."
Song Xintong looked at him pitifully and said in a low voice: "Mr. Xu, my grandfather, he could have been alive, but he died in order to save you. At that time, he told you to take care of my father. As long as you save a mouthful of food for him, he will not starve to death. He will live in this village well. "
"But you didn't." Song Xintong pursed his lips. He could not imagine how cruel the old man who could kneel down for his family was.
"I..." the old man of the Xu family opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything. He couldn't remember what happened at the beginning. When their son came back, they said it was Hunter song who killed them? Or did you say something?
Song Xintong is not unreasonable, as long as you admit it wrong, she will stop, "that's it."
After Xu's family left, song Xintong looked at the paper money and firecracker paper. Ah ye, ah dad, did you hear that? Although not very sincere, but it is for you to get back a fair.
