I trade in both worlds

Xu Jizong was full of questions: "What does Xiaoxu's family's land have to do with them? They are already five generations apart, so it's not their turn to manage it."

Aunt Xu knew what they were up to as soon as she rolled her eyes. She said angrily, "A bunch of idiots, they want to wipe out our family. We are still here, how can they bully us?"

Xu Jizong reacted as soon as he heard it, and was so angry that he trembled all over. Xu Xu was so scared that he quickly persuaded him: "Second uncle, don't be angry, they have no right to ask me for land, don't fall for them, who will help me if you get angry?"

Second Aunt Xu worriedly calmed Xu Jizong down, "Alright, alright, there's nothing to be angry about because of those hooligans. They're just making trouble for others even though they know it's impossible."

Xu Jianli also echoed, "Uncle Jizong, don't worry. My grandfather won't agree with their approach. Just call the elders together, and then you can make the arrangements clear in front of the clan members to stop them from jumping around from time to time, which would be even more annoying."

Xu Xu nodded in agreement: "Second Uncle, don't be angry. Let's go over and listen to what they have to say. No matter what they come up with, it will be useless."

Xu Jizong slowly calmed down and asked Xu Jianli with a dark face: "Which bastard is so shameless as to covet something that doesn't belong to him?"

Xu Jianli pouted and replied, "The brothers Xu Laizi and Xu Laili, Fifth Grandfather, Xu Dashu and his son, and Xu Tiechui, Xu Xin and Xu Jiqiao."

"I think they seem to be led by Xu Xin. I wonder how he convinced the others." Xu Jianli thought for a while and continued.

Although he knew that no matter what they did, it would be useless, Xu Jizong still couldn't help but curse: "Son of a bitch, none of them do anything."

After cursing, he suddenly remembered that before the Dragon Boat Festival, he went to the county town to buy funeral supplies. When he passed the alley of the gambling house, he saw Xu Xin and Xu Jiqiao from a distance: "Do Xu Xin and Xu Jiqiao often go in and out of the casino?"

Xu Jianli looked at Xu Jizong in surprise: "Uncle Jizong, how did you know? Last month, my uncle came back and mentioned it. He said he saw them coming out of the alley of the casino. Since we didn't see them enter the casino, it's hard to say they were just there to gamble."

It seemed that the two men entered and exited the casino without any cover. Xu Jizong estimated that many people in the clan must have seen them and were just about to catch them in the act: "Some time ago, when I went to prepare for my eldest sister-in-law's funeral, I saw them from a distance in the alley of the casino."

"I just glanced at it at the time and thought I had seen it wrong, so I didn't turn around to take a closer look. After their actions, I can basically confirm that I was not mistaken at the time. It must be the two of them."

Nine out of ten times you lose when gambling. Xu Jizong guessed that they must have lost a lot of money, and might even owe money to the casino, so they did such a bold thing.

Thinking of this, Xu Jianli raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems so. He probably owes gambling debts and is plotting against Xuxu's family's wealth." He suddenly remembered something and turned to Xuxu and said, "Xuxu, be careful. These gamblers can do anything. Don't go anywhere alone, especially with children."

Xu Jizong was startled, and turned to Xu Xu and said, "You and the kids can stay at my place for the next few days. I'll bring you two dogs later. This kind of scum must be dealt with, otherwise it will become a disaster sooner or later. Go back to the house and eat first, and we'll go over together later."

Indeed, if there is a gambler left in the village, people in the surrounding area will be bullied. Xu Jianli felt that it was impossible to quit gambling. He thought he might as well find a few people to catch them in the act and then send them to mine for two years.

But I'll talk about the details later: "It needs to be solved. I'll go back and ask Grandpa."

Xu Xu was also a little scared, and decided not to let the child go out alone recently. However, his family was in mourning, and he couldn't visit other people's homes for a year, so this was just an excuse.

After talking about the matter for a while, Second Aunt Xu took Xu Jin by the hand and prepared to go back for dinner: "Jianli, if you haven't eaten yet, eat at home. Come with us later."

Xu Jianli refused, "No, my family was making breakfast when I came here, and I can eat it when I get back. You guys go back and eat, I'm going back too."

Aunt Xu didn't insist: "Okay, you can go back."

Xu Jizong led a few people to the main hall. Aunt Xu saw a bowl of porridge and two plates of pickles on the table, and hurriedly called Xu Xu to have breakfast: "Xu Xu, eat first. If you have anything to say, we can talk after you finish eating."

Xuxu saw Lin Erya serving porridge and hurried over to help, but was rejected by Xu Youyin's wife Chen Lihua: "You don't have to come, just sit down and eat."

A few days ago, Chen Lihua's mother fell ill, and she went back to take care of her for more than half a month. She came back yesterday afternoon and heard that her aunt had passed away. She felt that things in the world are impermanent, and she felt a little pity when she saw Xu Xu.

Xu Jin looked around but didn't see Xu Zhun and Yang Qiwei: "Second Aunt, where are my brother and my nephews and nieces?"

Lin Erya replied, "They haven't woken up yet, let's eat first."

Xu Jin replied obediently: "Okay~"

Seeing Xu Jin's well-behaved appearance, Second Aunt Xu loved him so much that she walked over to hug Xu Jin, touched his little face, and said with a smile: "Our little Jin is the most diligent and gets up early, unlike the others who are all lazy pigs."

Xu Jin smiled shyly and ate his breakfast in small bites.

Xu Jizong picked up the bowl and took a sip of porridge and asked Xu Xu: "What do you think their plan is?"

Xu Xu looked at the porridge in the bowl, which had more water than rice, thought for a moment and replied, "I think they may ask for the family's land to be divided among them in the name of supporting Xiao Jin and Xiao Zhun."

The Xu Youliang brothers were just watering the vegetables in the garden behind the house. Lin Erya and Chen Lihua were busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen and didn't pay much attention.

Hearing Xu Xu's words, Xu Youliang asked in surprise: "What happened?"

Xu Xu recounted what had just happened at the door. With a "bang", Xu Youyin threw his chopsticks on the table: "Are you bullying us because we have a small family?"

Xu Youliang was relatively calm. He thought about their behavior and looked at Xu Xu: "Xu Xu, is the land deed at home a red deed or a white deed?"

Xu Youyin immediately realized: "They want to go directly to the government office to reissue the land deed? But even if it's a blank deed, everyone in the village knows who owns the land."

Xu Youliang glanced at Xu Youliang and said with disdain: "People like them, will they use normal means? They gave them some benefits, and you didn't even know that the title deed was changed."

"But if it's a red deed, there's little room for maneuver. After all, the government has a reserve. If they want to get things done, the benefits they give up will be more valuable than the land."

Xu Jizong suddenly realized: "That's a nice thought, but unfortunately the land deeds of our two families are all red deeds."

Aunt Xu patted her chest and said thankfully, "Yes, in the early years, when my eldest brother spent money to get a red deed, I was against it. The land deeds in our village are basically white deeds, and there is an additional deed tax to pay for a red deed. Who is willing to spend that money?"
