Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

It turned out that the old man's name was Jia Daxi, and he was also a brother of Jia Dade. Although their relationship was not that close, they at least worshipped the same ancestor more than ten years ago. The story dates back to four years ago. Jia Dade of the Jia family originally had a piece of land. When Jia Dade came to the city, he rented his piece of land to his brother to farm.

Since Jiajia Village was going to redistribute the land in the 1950s, Jia Dade's land was divided among others. The Jia family members also asked someone to tell Jia Zhang about this matter. It was a common thing, but Jia Zhang was not happy at all. She felt that her husband's brothers had occupied her land, so she took her son to make a scene in Jiajia Village.

In the end, the incident even alarmed the Public Security Bureau, which supported the decision of the village committee of Jiajia Village, and the mother and son of the Jia family gave up. But since this incident, Jia Zhang and his mother were not welcome in Jiajia Village at all. Originally, Jia Zhang was arrogant every time he came to Jiajia Village, but since that incident, he offended all the brothers in his clan, so that the two families did not visit each other for the next few years.

Liu Guangtian and his brother were shocked when they heard the glorious deeds of Jia Zhang and her son. This old woman was really amazing. She actually offended everyone in the village. Liu Guangtian thought for a while and asked Jia Daxi, "What about this uncle? Is there anyone else in their family?"

Jia Daxi said, "Jia Dade has an older brother and a younger brother, they are blood relatives. It's just that they haven't been in contact for so many years, so I don't know whether they are willing to go or not." Liu Guangtian nodded, and the three of them went to the home of Jia Dade's brother Jia Dafa.

Jia Daxi knocked on the door, and a middle-aged woman's voice came from inside, "Oh, I'm here, wait a moment." The door was opened from the inside, and the middle-aged woman said, "Oh, it's Brother Daxi, what's going on? Who are these two?"

Liu Guangtian and his brother felt a little uncomfortable. If they knew that Jia Dongxu and his mother had such a bad relationship with Jiajia Village when they reported the death, they would not come even if they were given more money. Jia Daxi said, "Uh, Dafa, where is your Dafa? These two guys from the city are here to see your Dafa."

"Oh, who's looking for me?" Jia Dafa also came out of the house. He was a very honest middle-aged man. His face was very dark, probably caused by working in the fields for many years. Liu Guangtian gritted his teeth and told them the purpose of their visit. Jia Dafa's dark face showed wrinkles.

Then he sighed deeply and invited Liu Guangtian and his brother in first. He said to his wife next to him, "Mother, go and pour two cups of tea and get some dry food for the two children." Liu Guangtian and his brother were really hungry now, so they didn't say anything. The three of them sat under the loquat tree in the yard. Jia Dafa gave each of Liu Guangtian and his brother a bench, and then started smoking with his pipe.

After thinking for a while, he said, "You two brothers wait for a moment. I'll call my third brother over, and we can discuss this matter properly." Liu Guangtian nodded quickly, "Oh, don't worry, uncle, you go about your business." Jia Dafa nodded with a smile, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the yard, heading towards his brother's yard next door.

Liu Guangtian and his brother drank tea under the loquat tree to relieve their fatigue. Jia Dafa's wife brought them some wild fruits from the mountain. The two children who grew up in the city thanked them and started eating. The wild fruits from the mountain made their mouths water, and they liked them very much.

After a while, a dark man who looked similar to Jia Dafa followed Jia Dafa in. Behind him were three young men, who seemed to be their children. Liu Guangtian quickly slapped his younger brother who was eating lavishly, and Liu Guangfu quickly wiped his mouth and stood up with his brother.

Jia Dafa smiled and waved his hand, motioning everyone to sit down. Jia Dafa pointed to the middle-aged man next to him and said, "This is my third brother, Jia Dacai. The father of the Jia Dongxu you mentioned is my second brother, Jia Dade. You two children, repeat what you just said to my third brother, and also tell me the cause of my nephew's death."

The Liu Guangtian brothers explained the whole story one after another. Jia Dacai's dark face showed anger and he said, "Damn it, when I was young, I knew that the second sister-in-law was not a good person. She made her son so thin and she was so fat. It really pissed me off."

Jia Dafa waved his hand, telling his third brother not to panic. He looked at Liu Guangtian and his brother and said, "You two kids, tell us two old guys how you think Jia Dongxu died! Jia Dongxu was the only son of my second brother. I didn't expect him to die at such a young age. As his uncle, I still have to ask him about it."

Liu Guangtian and his brother thought about it, but they still didn't dare to say anything. Liu Guangtian looked at the two brothers' simple appearance, and he and his brothers had eaten a lot of food at Jia Dafa's house, so he simply said, "Uncle Jia, there are some things we can tell you, but you must not tell Jia Zhang. That old woman is a bully in our courtyard, and no one in the courtyard dares to mess with her."

Jia Dacai smiled bitterly, wondering what his second brother would think if he knew his wife had such a reputation. He said directly to Liu Guangtian, "Young man, just speak frankly. How did my nephew die? I can guarantee that no one present dares to tell others what you two brothers said."

Jia Dafa also nodded, indicating that he felt the same way. Liu Guangtian took a bite of the wild fruit fiercely, but he couldn't stand the torment in his heart and planned to speak out the truth in his heart. Liu Guangtian said, "Since the implementation of the ticket supply system in our city, only Brother Dongxu has a fixed amount in the old Jia family. But Brother Dongxu also has to support his mother and wife and children. In fact, his wife and children can't eat much at all. Most of the food is eaten by Jia Zhang."

"Now I think Jia Zhang's weight is about 200 pounds. You two uncles, think about it, in this day and age, how can someone be so fat? I once saw Brother Dongxu crying secretly, and he once complained to us young people in the yard that his mother was really too greedy. More than half of the family's food went into her stomach. If he hesitated, Jia Zhang would scold her son for being unfilial in the yard. We also saw a lot of jokes about this."
