Chapter 7 New and old grudges
  It's very windy at the door, so it's not suitable for private conversations.

Ji Jiuru helped the old woman into the house, sat down at the table, then quickly went back and closed the courtyard door.

It's autumn, and Ji Jiuru is afraid that the old man will be cold.

I put a piece of coarse cloth stuffed with cotton on the chair and said, "Mother-in-law, sit here, it's warmer here."

She lit a charcoal pot and placed it under the table to warm her feet.

The visitor is Granny Su, the most prestigious old man in Yangzhou Shouma Village. It is her new name of West Lake Village.

Ji Jiuru poured hot water for herself and the old man. After finishing her work, she sat next to the old woman and asked: "Grandma Su, are you here to see my mother? My mother is on a mission and I don't know when she will come back." ".

It depends on when she earns enough points.

Seeing Ji Jiuru busy with her, the simple old man combing his hair smiled and said, "Silly boy, I'm here to find you." Granny Su took out something tightly wrapped in cloth from her clothes and stuffed it into Ji Jiuru. Jiuru is in hand.

"As long as you do one thing for me, this will be yours." It was a small square, heavy to carry.

Before liberation, the Su family was a well-known large family in Yangzhou. The highest official in their ancestors was the Minister of Household Affairs in the Ming Dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty, they were also in charge of the weaving industry in Jiangnan.

Su Yuheng was born when her family was at its peak. When she grew up, her father was addicted to opium and ignored the family business.

The Su family began to lose, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the family's wealth was there, and it did not collapse until the founding of New China.

Su Yuheng was a famous lady in Yangzhou when she was young. Although her family did not have enough money to prevent her from studying abroad, for the sake of face, she was allowed to finish college like her sisters. She was among the first batch of female college students in the Republic of China.

"Grandma Su, this is the first time I know that you are a college student!" Ji Jiuru knew that Grandma Su was powerful, but did not expect that she was still a college student.

Su Yuheng waved her hand, "This is all in the past. It's been decades since I graduated from college." If she hadn't mentioned it today, she would have almost forgotten that she went to college.

"If you like it, you can come to my house when you are free." It's just a certificate. As long as Ji Jiuru is willing to help, just give it to her.

Grandma Su thought of her youth. In fact, she had a bad life as a child. Her mother died young and her father smoked opium.

No matter how you look at it, it's the beginning of a collapse. Fortunately, Su Yuheng's aunt is a loving and strong woman, so she took her back and raised her for a few years.

When my father dies,
  Her aunt took her back because she was in charge of the family business.

Her aunt was a smart person who had never read a book but knew both black and white. After improving her competitiveness by introducing European technology, she sold her silk business to Europe and America.

Not only has the family business been revitalized, but it has also been taken to a higher level. Su Yuheng often heard her aunt talk about which company she had invested in in the mold country, and there were many novelties called shares.

It's a pity that the Republic of China was in troubled times, and wars were going on everywhere.

The Su family's factory was also closed.

Her aunt had already transferred all her money to the Americas, and had to take her children to take a ship to seek refuge. Before leaving, she asked Su Yuheng if she wanted to go to Bad Country with them.

In a foreign country, another Jiangnan weaving was built.

Although it is a newly established country a few years ago, the Su family has technology and arms dealers to protect it, so security can be guaranteed. Where there is life, there is hope.

Su Yuheng had never been abroad in his life, so he rejected his aunt out of fear and hurriedly married to Nanjing.

Hearing this "Mother-in-law, do you want me to go to the Bad Country to find your relatives?" Ji Jiuru asked Su Yuheng while she was drinking water.

The old man shook his head and continued.

Within a year of her marriage, her husband died in the war.

Because she had quarreled with the old men of the Su family, she didn't want to marry any random man anymore, so she agreed to be a widow in Nanjing to keep her husband's integrity. That person was also in Nanjing at that time. After hearing about this, he built a chastity memorial arch for her.

Su Yuheng became the first batch of female college students in the Republic of China, and also owned the last batch of chastity memorials.

Ji Jiuru wondered, "But this is Pudong, thousands of miles away from Nanjing." Grandma Su was at her husband's house, so why was her family now in Shouma Village, Yangzhou?

"Hey! How can we live a peaceful life in troubled times?" Before the Nanjing Rebellion, the aristocratic families ran away after receiving the news.

Granny Su ran away with her husband's family, and met the elders of her natal family, the Su family, on the way. There were people occupying Shanghai and no one was allowed to enter, so everyone had to come to this remote Pudong and establish Yangzhou Shouma Village. Later, because the name was not nice, it was changed to West Lake Village.

I forgot to mention that Granny Su's husband's family made money by opening a private Chu palace. During the Qing Dynasty, they specialized in training Yangzhou thin horses for officials. There were either beautiful and weak young shepherds in the family, or the female shopkeeper and the turtle master in charge.

Other aristocratic families were unwilling to pay attention to them. Only Su Yuheng, who was eager to get married at that time, bit the bullet and got married.

Su Yuheng chose the least attractive one among several beautiful men and married into her husband's family.

She originally thought that her husband was cold-looking and much safer than the rest of the family, but she didn't expect that he was doing sex outside and died in the bed of the son of a noble family six months after their wedding.

Thinking of her husband, whom she had met several times, Granny Su gritted her teeth and hammered the table in anger. Don’t you know where the death family is? It made her want to go to other people's homes to collect corpses!

"Third girl, you must help me." Ji Jiuru cursed God in the ancestral hall that day, and she heard it all.

Nowadays, we are not far from the old society, and many people are taboo about this aspect. Even if they say they don’t believe in ghosts and gods, there is still a lot of feudalism behind the scenes.

Looking at Ji Jiuru, she didn't seem to believe this.

Why don't you do it yourself? Su Yuheng was trapped for her entire life. Even looking at the ancestral hall gave her nightmares. The villagers were kind enough to let her live next to the ancestral hall.

She is afraid.

Scared for decades.

In the ancestral hall of Shouma Village in Yangzhou, only men's memorial tablets are placed, because the Su family and her husband's family built the village together, and Granny Su's husband and her father, who died of drug addiction, were both there.

Old and new grudges just happen to be burned together, and then the ashes are scattered!

Unexpectedly, the smiling Granny Su had such a bizarre past, so Ji Jiuru readily agreed.

I can still get money for burning an ancestral temple. Is this such a good thing?
  In Ji Jiuru's view, ancestral halls without female ancestors are all fake. Human beings are all born from a woman's crotch. How come they forget their mothers after they are born?

After making an appointment to go to work tomorrow, Ji Jiuru stood up and said, "That's it." He walked to the yard and opened the door to Granny Su, "Grandma, let me take you back."

Su Yuheng straightened her back and said, "No, third girl, I can go back by myself." She felt that her whole body was filled with energy.

Ji Jiuru watched her back getting further and further away, confused. Why did she feel that Granny Su suddenly looked much younger?

After eating, Ji Jiuru found out the things at home that needed someone to take care of, and went to Ji Tianyu's house next door to call someone, "Cousin?"

The strong man washes his underwear with a cold face.

As soon as Ji Jiuru entered the door, she saw her cousin-in-law washing clothes in the yard with a basin of cold water in the cold weather. "Cousin-in-law, where is my sister?"

She shouted inside:

"Cousin, I brought everything!"

What about people?

In the garden, the gardener's daily job is to pull out the rose buds layer by layer and suck the dew on the petals. Suddenly it rained, and the gardener's face got wet from the rain.

Ji Tianyu was repairing the bicycle at home, and her ex-husband was holding the handle next to her. The bicycles in this era were taller than people, and they had to put one leg on the wheel to repair it. Both of them were exhausted and sweating. She had saved up the industrial coupons for a long time and had to ask someone to get her home with her bicycle, which she had lost for several years.

I've got it back now, but if I want to get back the feeling I had back then, I still have to use it regularly.

Hearing her cousin's voice calling her, Ji Tianyu's face turned red and she struggled to get up from the bed. "My cousin is here. She probably has something to do with me. Please let me go." Seeing that the man ignored her,

Ji Tianyu bit the red bean hard.

"Cousin-in-law, is my cousin at home?" Seeing that the strong man ignored her, Ji Jiuru walked into the house, getting closer and closer...

Just as he was about to go in, he was stopped by the strong man: "Your cousin has something to do, please put the things here, I will give them to her when it is evening."

"Okay" Ji Jiuru turned and walked towards the door.

"Jiuru, I heard that you are going to the city, are you still studying at Shanghai High School?" Ji Tianyu's eldest daughter heard the voice, put down her physics book and came out to look for her classmates.

Ji Jiuru stood one meter away from the main room and chatted with a friend, "Hey~ the school still hasn't changed. It's a pity. We can't live in the school together and go back to the village together."

Ji Yaohua felt sorry after hearing this. She likes reading. Several girls in the village come back by donkey cart every time, and everyone takes turns driving the donkey cart. Among them, Ji Jiuru has the best donkey driving skills and is very stable on the dirt road, allowing her to read in the car.

Moreover, after graduating from junior high school, the people in the village are not willing to let their daughter go to high school even if they have money.

The only girls studying in the village are Ji Jiuru and Ji Yaohua, as well as the daughters of the village chief and the accountant.

These two people are two extremes.

One is the only daughter in the family. She is spoiled by Wang Wanlan and her aunt and is a bit arrogant. She looks at others with contempt every day and does not play with them. She only likes to talk to her classmates in the city.

The other one is the eldest son of the family, who is dull and taciturn.

She has four younger sisters and one younger brother. She has good grades, but when she was in her twenties, the accountant wanted to save face and wanted to have a college student in the family so that she could go out and continue her studies in high school.

Ji Yaohua didn't like either of them. Ji Jiuru was much more reliable than them. Didn't he just like to call her aunt?

The daughter and cousin were talking outside the house.

The man actually wanted to continue repairing the bicycle. Ji Tian's tone was so strong that he collapsed on the bed.

Ji Yaohua chatted with his classmates for a few words and then went back to read. Her little sister was also in her room. Ji Jiuru followed her in to tease other people's children. She accidentally made them cry and walked out in despair.

I saw the strong man, the husband Ji Tianyu married after divorcing her ex-husband, finally finished washing his clothes.

Ji Jiuru scratched her head, "Isn't my cousin at home? Why do you say she's not at home?" She saw Ji Tianyu's cotton-padded jackets were placed outside. Ji Yaohua also said that her mother and her father had never gone out since she gave her sister to her. Dad is washing her mother's clothes.

Seeing no one, Ji Jiuru had to go home confused.

Ji Jiuru boiled hot water for herself after returning home. After eating, she lay on the bed and habitually fished for the puppy beside her, but failed. Then she remembered that Ji Yaozu, like her fourth sister, had been taken away by her fifth uncle, and the optimistic girl suddenly became emotional.

She originally had a little sister to play with, a little baby who loved to laugh, and wouldn't cry even if she squeezed her little hands or poked her cheeks.

Her fourth sister, her puppy!
  Woohoo, one day,
  She wants to take back everything she lost!
  Ji Jiuru emoped for a minute, opened the live broadcast room and saw her 20 fans, and instantly felt that she had hope in life again. Can the burning of an ancestral temple be broadcast live?

……

It's sunny, it's time to make trouble.

By chance, the tide is out today.

The people in the village went to the beach a few kilometers away early in the morning to catch the sea, leaving only a few people farming. The lazy people in the village also went to Shanghai and wandered on the streets.

Ji Jiuru filled her stomach with steamed buns and leftover vegetables from last night, then took a lighter and went out.

That's right, lighters are in short supply and require industrial coupons, and they can't be purchased at ordinary supply and marketing cooperatives.

This lighter is different from ordinary lighters. It looks ugly to Ji Jiuru, like the piranha mentioned in the book.

The lighter was made into a big grinning fish by craftsmen. The body was so uneven that Ji Jiuru panicked while holding it. There was a light bulb-shaped flame outlet hanging on the big mouth.

It seemed to be a token of love left by an uncle to her mother. Her mother also disliked it and said it was called a lantern fish. She usually didn't use it to light a fire and just put it in an iron box.

Ji Jiuru brought it along mainly because although this lighter was a bit ugly, it was fireproof and waterproof, and could be carried away with just a kick in the pocket.

After opening the door, Ji Jiuru first looked around to see if anyone was around, then tiptoed out and closed the door.

She is now a big star in the village.

A hand was placed on the shoulder, "Cousin, have you eaten?" It was Ji Tianyu with a cheerful face. After Ji Jiuru left last night, she and the two men stayed up all night, and she just got up now.

The eldest daughter rarely read a book and was taken away to the sea by the village chief's daughter. After dinner, she didn't want to stay with the two men, so she went out for a walk with her baby in her arms.

"Eat, cousin, where are you?" After chatting a few words with Ji Tianyu, my little niece woke up and said wow wow wow wow wow.

Ji Jiuru said goodbye to her cousin and walked east.

The ancestral hall is located in a corner of the village, not close to a mountain or the road to the seaside, so no one usually goes there.

There was only Granny Su's house around, and the nearest other people's houses were about twenty meters away.

Under the cover of Granny Su, Ji Jiuru spread oil on the wood in the ancestral hall during the day and went back to her home to sleep at night.

It only took one day to complete the preparations, and now it was time to light the fire at night, while everyone was sleeping, so that by the time anyone noticed the fire, only the wooden frame would be left.

The steps are carried out in an orderly manner,
  Ji Jiuru had a problem here.

really,

If nothing happens, something will happen.

Ji Tianyu didn't know what was wrong, so she came over after dinner and told Ji Jiuru that she wanted to sleep with her at night because her cousin was going to the city tomorrow and couldn't bear to leave her.

really?I do not believe.

The village is not far from the city, right? Ji Jiuru was puzzled.

In fact, Ji Tianyu was afraid of being tormented by two men. After her two daughters fell asleep, she hurried to find her cousin.

Ji Jiuru went to the kitchen and pretended to boil water.

Sure enough, after a few minutes, the two people who discovered that their wives had run away came to Ji Jiuru's house to ask for her husband.

Seeing Ji Tianyu enter her own yard, Ji Jiuru took a lighter and walked to the ancestral hall.

[Number of viewers in the live broadcast room: 99]

She had been pouring oil on the ancestral hall yesterday. Fans in the live broadcast room finally realized what she wanted to do. Some new viewers cursed "How dare a woman enter the ancestral hall, get out"

just tonight,

she! want! straight! broadcast! burn! temple! Don!
