Rebirth of a Farmhouse with Space

The eldest brother Song Qian said, "Dad, that's nothing! It doesn't matter if the third brother's family died, I can just take their place. They haven't come to visit for 20 years, who knows what the third brother looks like!"

"Brother, you are eight years older than the third brother. I am not stupid and I know something is wrong. But it is different for me. The third brother and I are only two years apart in age. No one would doubt me for taking his place. Mom and Dad, what do you think?

Besides, as the eldest son, you have to stay at home and take care of the two of you. But it’s different for me. If I go to live a good life in the master’s house, I will definitely not forget you!”

In fact, the old lady had told her two sons and daughters-in-law about this matter a long time ago. The old lady's idea was to keep the wealth within the family. With such great wealth, she could not let it fall on other people's heads. Therefore, they secretly conspired to buy a pack of poison from the county town. The original plan was to let the third brother's family die of a sudden illness. In this remote border place, the government was too lazy to take care of the affairs of farmers like them. Instead, they buried them together and no one knew the secret. However, they did not expect that the dosage of the poison was insufficient, which made the third brother's family half-dead. Coincidentally, on the day when the third brother's family was poisoned, the little girl went out to play and missed the poisoned egg drop soup!

Speaking of Xiao Ya, outside the kitchen in the yard, Xiao Ya stood up with her hands on her dizzy head, looked around and saw no one, she stumbled towards the outside of the yard, she wanted to go and complain, the clan members were all afraid of the clan leader, her grandparents were the same, so she wanted to go to the clan leader to complain about her grandparents, and also, she wanted to go to the village chief to complain, accusing them of not giving her parents food!

Gurgle! Xiao Ya rubbed her stomach. She was also hungry. Her last meal was a sweet potato last night, which had been digested long ago!

When they arrived at the clan leader's house, they were having dinner. When they saw Xiaoya, they thought she was a beggar from another village. After a closer look, they realized she was Song Dashan's granddaughter. The village chief's son Song Dazhu asked, "Little girl, what happened to you? Did you fall? There's such a big bump on your head!"

The little girl wanted to say, "Grandpa, the clan leader, please make the decision for me. My grandparents don't give my parents food to eat." But in the end, what she said was, "I'm hungry!"

Dazhu's wife handed Xiaoya a fist-sized whole grain steamed bun and said, "Here, eat it. A little girl is as crazy as a boy. Look at what she has done!"

It was not good at all. When Wu beat the little girl, she rolled on the ground in pain, and became so sloppy!

The little girl wolfed down a few mouthfuls and then stopped, mumbling, "Grandpa, my parents are hungry, and my brothers are hungry!"

The clan leader didn't hear clearly, and it was Dazhu's youngest son who translated it. Then the clan leader understood what Xiaoya said, "You said your parents and brothers are hungry?"

Xiaoya nodded vigorously, "Well, they sleep and have no food to eat!"

"Sleeping? Didn't your grandparents say that your parents took your two brothers to visit relatives in town?"

Xiaoya shook her head vigorously again. She was not good at expressing herself, but she understood what the clan leader said. "Well, no, I'm at home, sleeping, and I'm hungry!"

Xiaoya was anxious to grab the tribe leader's hand to go back with her. The tribe leader also became suspicious and said to Dazhu, "You go to the village leader's house, and ask the village leader to go to Dashan's house as well!"

"Hey!" Dazhu didn't hesitate and went to the village chief's house without even eating!

Here, Song Dashan's family had just finished their meal, and the two daughters-in-law put away their bowls, and then Xiao Ya came with the clan leader and the village chief!

Song Dashan was stunned. He really didn't expect the clan leader and the village chief to suddenly come to his house. "Village chief, clan leader, why are you here? Come on, come on, sit down. Um, I'll ask my daughter-in-law to boil some water and make tea!"

The clan leader said, "Stop busying yourself. We are not here for tea. Dashan, let me ask you, didn't you say a few days ago that your third son and his family went to visit relatives in town?"

Song Dashan's heart skipped a beat, and he felt something was wrong, but he remained calm and collected. "Well, what's wrong?"

"Your granddaughter said they didn't go at all and were sleeping at home. You didn't give them any food. Is that true?"

Song Dashan glanced at the little girl standing next to the clan leader, and then replied, "Don't take a child's words seriously! Well, why don't you take this girl away quickly? This little girl doesn't learn the rules honestly, but always goes out to cause trouble for the family!"

The village chief stopped Zhang from holding Xiaoya's hand and said, "Wait, children are unlikely to lie. Why don't you take us to the third brother's room and take a look? Then everything will be clear!"

It's not that he is selfless as a village chief, it's just that the higher-ups are very strict. If a criminal case occurs in a village and it is not handled properly, he will no longer be able to be the village chief!

Song Dashan's face changed, "This...!"

"What, no?"

The old lady was about to come out to smooth things over, but before she could open her mouth, the village chief raised his hand to stop her, "Dashan family, don't say anything, I'm asking about your husband!"

Song Dashan already had a plan in mind. He pretended to be in great pain, squatted down with his head in his hands, and sighed, "Hey, village chief, clan leader, please don't make it difficult for me. I have no other choice but to do this!"

"Go ahead, since we are here, we are here to solve the problem!"

Song Dashan raised his head with red eyes. He spoke in a seemingly embarrassed tone, "To be honest, the third brother's family did not go to any town. They are in their house right now!"

The village chief asked, "What's going on?"

Song Dashan replied, "A few days ago, the third brother's family suddenly developed a high fever and their bodies were covered with red rashes. I originally thought it was just a common illness, so I asked the second brother to go to the next village to call Doctor Zhao to come and check on them. Unexpectedly, when Doctor Zhao saw their condition, he ran out. I grabbed him and asked what disease the third brother's family had. Doctor Zhao said it was a plague, and then he shook me off and ran away!"

Song Dashan was not afraid that the village chief would go to Doctor Zhao to verify the matter. Doctor Zhao was a greedy man and he could shut his mouth just by giving him half a tael of silver!

"What, plague? Did Doctor Zhao really say that?"

The clan leader also stood up from his stool and said, "Did you hear me right? Is it really a plague?"

Song Dashan continued, "Yes, I also know that the plague is highly contagious, so I have locked them in their own rooms for the past few days, not allowing anyone to go in, let alone come out. Village chief, clan leader, I have no choice but to do this. If the whole village is dragged down by them, it will be a sin!"

It must be said that Song Dashan is very good at manipulating people's hearts. After he said this, who would dare to approach the family of the third brother Song Mo? The clan leader immediately made a decision, "The third brother's family can no longer stay in the village. We can't let them kill more than 580 people in our village. So, find a few men to protect the third brother's family, carry them out of the village, walk away, and burn them!"

The village chief felt that this was the right thing to do. This matter could not be taken lightly. If one was not careful, the whole village might suffer!

Mrs. Wu asked weakly, "Burned alive? It must be very painful!"

The village chief changed his tone after hearing this and said, "Burning people alive is a bit cruel. How about this, there is an abandoned cabin in Half Moon Mountain. Throw the people there and let them fend for themselves. After that, no one should go to Half Moon Mountain for the next six months! If you want to go up the mountain to chop firewood, go to the mountains in the north!"

The clan leader said, "This is still not safe. It is better to throw people into the forbidden cenote in Tianwang Mountain. I heard from the older generation that the cenote is so deep and terrifying that if anyone unfortunately falls in, there is absolutely no hope of survival. If people are thrown in there, even if the plague is not dissipated, it will not spread!"
