Chapter 45
"What's the matter?" I asked Lang Gao with a puzzled look on my face. I was very curious about what was said on the phone.

He didn't answer me, and his face became more and more ugly. In the end, he hung up the phone and threw the phone to the ground, roaring: "How can there be such a vicious son in the world."

His roar made the whole scene very quiet, and everyone looked at him suspiciously, waiting for him to speak.

After waiting for about 3 minutes, I asked Lang Gao what happened. He took a few deep breaths and said, "The murderer who let the scavenger eat uncle has been found."

"Who?" I asked.

He exhaled again, glanced at Li Hazi's grave, and said, "Li Jianguo, the third brother of the Li family."

As soon as these words came out, insults were heard everywhere in the cemetery, and Li Hazi's wife was even more serious. She knelt on the grave with her son in her arms, crying and cursing: "Li Jianguo, who suffered a thousand dollars, my old man has no grievances with him in the past, and he has no grievances in recent days." Revenge, why did he let the scavenger eat my old man's body so cruelly?"

I was a little suspicious. I heard Li Jianguo's second brother, Li Jianmin, said that their family didn't have much hatred for Li Hazi, so they wouldn't let scavengers eat the corpse after death. This doesn't make sense.

So, I asked Lang Gao, what did the investigation result say?He calmly explained it to me.

It turns out that the truth of the matter is that the three brothers of the Li family, the eldest Li Jiandang, the second Li Jianmin, and the third Li Jianguo are not biological brothers, and Li Jianguo was picked up from other places in his early years.

On weekdays, Li Huoda (the father of the three brothers of the Li family) treated the three brothers equally, and did not distinguish between biological and foster care. In the eyes of outsiders, Li Huoda loved Li Jianguo more than his own son.

But all this is not the case in Li Jianguo's view. He thinks that he is fostered and has no blood relationship. Li Huoda must be partial to his own son. Once people have this idea, they will look at things differently. It was suppressed until one month before Li Huoda was born.

That night, when Li Jianguo was having dinner, Li Huoda led the eldest and second child in and said that they were allocating houses.

Li Jianguo was overjoyed. The housing problem had troubled him for many years. His father was considered a man when he was young, and saved a lot of money. He built three houses for the three brothers in the village. Because of limited financial resources, the three houses The size of the cover is somewhat different, the first house has five rooms, the second house has three rooms, and the third house has only two rooms.

The three brothers all wanted to live in the biggest house, and they had been arguing about it for many years, but there was no reason for the quarrel. In the end, they had to allocate the houses according to the order of marriage. It is the third house.

In the first few years, Li Jianguo didn't feel anything wrong. Later, as the population of his family increased, he began to feel resentful. In terms of population, his family had six members, the largest among the three brothers. Logically speaking, he should live in the first house, but it is allocated according to the order of marriage, but the house he got was the smallest, and it seemed a bit crowded for six people to live in. Normally, his wife would not miss him because of this matter.

Now when he heard that the houses were going to be redistributed, Li Jianguo was full of joy, and quickly invited them in. He poured tea and served fruits, calling each other father, elder brother, and second brother, not to mention how kind they were.

Several people discussed it, and finally decided to allocate the houses according to the long and short ones. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Who would have thought that this time they got the shortest house and lived in the smallest house.

This time, Li Jianguo refused. He thought it was Li Huoda's scheming. The purpose was to shut his mouth, so that he would not complain about him in terms of housing allocation, and bear the funeral expenses after his death. After all, the old man was already eight years old. Teenagers don't live long.

The three brothers quarreled in the house, and finally, Li Huoda said something, he said: "Whoever lives in a big house and who lives in a small house, the funeral expenses after my death must be shared equally among you three brothers." .”

It was this sentence that made Li Jianguo think that his thoughts were right, and his dissatisfaction with Li Huoda gradually grew into hatred in his heart. After Huo Da died, the hatred in his heart broke out.

Li Jianguo first asked his wife's natal family to host the funeral in order to disturb Li Huoda's funeral and prevent the deceased from having peace after death. Unexpectedly, the two brothers Li Jianmin refused.

Evil grows on the sidelines, and one plan fails, so Li Jianguo resorted to another plan, and he hit the corpse of the deceased. He asked a friend to get the scavenger's eggs from other places, and when the corpse was buried in the main room for a few days, he took advantage of us to sleep. At the right time, he secretly used a bamboo stick to put the scavenger's eggs under the beams of the house.

Some people must have wondered why Li Jianguo didn't just put the scavenger's eggs in the coffin, but instead put them on the beams. His explanation was somewhat humane. He said: "After all, he raised me up, and I can't do that. , However, I hate him, and I can only take revenge in another way."

As for Li Hazi's body being eaten by the scavenger, it was completely an accident. Li Jianguo explained that he didn't want to go to the main room because he was afraid of thinking of his father and his father would take revenge on him, so he put the scavenger's eggs on the beam of the house. take it off.

At the end, Li Jianguo yelled. He said, "Father, why did you treat me like this? I respect you no less than my eldest brother and second brother. Why don't you give me the big house." After finishing speaking, he burst into tears stand up.

When Lang Gao finished the whole story, I felt bad. In the countryside, tragedies often happened because of the distribution of housing.

At that time, I didn't know what words to use to describe my mood, but I felt very bitter in my heart. I felt that Li Jianguo was somewhat similar to the Eight Immortals in this industry.

However, we Eight Immortals can control our emotions well. No matter whether we encounter fair or unfair treatment, we can maintain our professional ethics, maintain enough respect for the deceased, and try our best to do our best in customs and etiquette.

I dare not jump to conclusions whether the two brothers Li Jianmin have tampered with the right and wrong. After all, this is someone else's family matter, and it is not within the scope of our Eight Immortals' concern. We are only responsible for the dead. The living have their own legal punishment.

When I thought of this, I felt a cold feeling all over my body, which was very comfortable. I opened my clothes and took a look. I don’t know when the phlegm had disappeared. There were only very tiny black spots, which proved that I had suffered from phlegm. Just go home and take a bath with wormwood and the spots should disappear.

I froze for a long time, turned to look at Lang Gao, and asked, "How many years will I be sentenced to? What about his wife and children?"

"For seven years, Li Jianmin and his two brothers are willing to bear the living expenses and tuition fees of his children. As for his wife, I will find her a job in the town to subsidize the family!" Lang Gao's tone was very light, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Because of this, we were not very interested, and hurriedly packed up some tools and prepared to go home. When I left the cemetery, I felt that someone was looking at me in the cemetery. When I turned around, I vaguely saw two figures waving to me. Farewell, it seems to be Li Huoda and Li Hazi, looking at Dingqing, there is nothing in the empty cemetery.

I smiled inexplicably. Maybe Li Huoda came to this cemetery to apologize to Li Hazi. To convey a meaning, I did not blame him.

Then, I rubbed my face to shake off the sadness in my heart. At this time, Fatty Guo and Chen Tiannan came over. They each put their hands on my shoulders. We looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the sunset that was about to disappear into the sky He roared, 'Long live the Eight Immortals! '
