    The village where Xiaoxia's family is located is called Yangshugou. Her mother was married from a neighboring village, and there is also an uncle from the same family in the neighboring village.  ?Of course Xiao Xia¡¯s grandmother originally lived with her uncle, but life in her uncle¡¯s family was not very good and it was difficult to support her, so Xia¡¯s mother took the old man to live in Yangshugou.  Every New Year's Eve, my uncle would also "visit" Xiaoxia's home in Yangshugou.  Uncle is not only here to see my old mother, but his most important purpose is to ask for money!  Xiao Xia¡¯s uncle is idle and does not do his job properly. He just gambles and causes trouble all day long.  In the years since Dayu succeeded in controlling the floods, the people of Lu Ze's tribe have become increasingly prosperous, and everyone's life has become better and better. However, his family's life has become increasingly dilapidated, and even his mother is unwilling to support him, so he was taken over by Xia's mother.  to your own home.  My ancestors did have some land, but it was almost completely destroyed by my uncle. There were still a few acres of thin farmland left, but I couldn¡¯t cultivate it with peace of mind.  Even such a person can get married, and his wife is also a lazy person. She can't control her husband at home, but she is very aggressive outside. After having a son and a daughter, she often goes to her mother and sister to ask for money.  .  Xiao Xia went back home a few years ago and sent back part of the New Year's rewards he received at the farm.  The life in the other courtyard is not as good as that of the rich and powerful, but it is much better than that of ordinary villagers. Xiaoxia can get special money and there are rewards during the New Year.  What she sent home this time was cloth and bacon, and she happened to see her uncle, aunt, and two children coming, clamoring for the goods.  "My uncle is very arrogant and my aunt is very aggressive. If they don't give me anything, they will make trouble and overturn a table of prepared meals."  Xiaoxia felt wronged, angry and scared, with tears welling up in her eyes, but she just hugged her grandma's arm tightly.  Grandma said that she really couldn't bring out the goods, but uncle noticed Xiaoxia who had brought back cloth and bacon.  Then the uncle changed his tone and said: "Isn't Xiaoxia enjoying the blessings at the Baoming Courtyard? She gets a reward every year, why not use some wealth to support the family?" My aunt also helped, saying that it was just a loan, waiting for the day.  It will be returned after all.  The cloth and bacon that Xiaoxia brought home were taken away by her uncle, but these things were not enough. Her uncle wanted more, and this year the family was restless.  A few days ago, Xiaoxia went back home again. Her parents discussed with her and loaned the money to her uncle, so that he would stop making trouble. During this period, Xiaoxia was worried about this.  Things in the world are so intricate that they are difficult to describe in just one sentence. Xiaojiu shook his head repeatedly when he heard this.  In the eyes of some people, Xiaojiu's status is embarrassing. She was far away from her hometown at such a young age and came to this place where she had no friends, and her life was really not that good.  But compared to Xiaoxia, he was already enjoying it, at least he no longer had to worry about these messy things.  What? I just asked: "Sister Xiaoxia, what are you going to do?"  One third, that is, ten copper noses, was given to my parents so that they could lend it to my uncle to stop the trouble. " Xiaojiu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The two closest people around him, Tailuo and Xiaoxia, were both worried.  It¡¯s a great way to save money!  People in local villages still barter a lot of the time. Currency is only used for transactions in large markets. It is called "bi" locally, which is just a dialect.  The most common nose is made of pottery. Only the official body represented by Mr. Bojun is qualified to make it and use a unified model. Anyone who makes a pottery nose privately will be punished by death.  Of course, what are more valuable than pottery noses are gold noses, silver noses and copper noses. Gold and silver items are often only owned by nobles. It is no longer simple for commoners to hold copper noses in their hands.  Ten copper noses can buy a healthy ox. Xiaoxia worked as a maid in a courtyard for six years and actually saved thirty!  In other words, all the pocket money and rewards she had received over the years had been saved. As for the extra rewards, part of them was taken back to honor her parents, and the other part was converted into money and saved.  Why does Xiaoxia want to save money?  On the one hand, she has been used to a hard life since she was a child, and she never spends money arbitrarily. Besides, other hospitals take care of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, so she doesn't need to spend money.  On the other hand, she may be saving a dowry for herself.  For a maid like her who is sent to a wealthy family, although the host family will provide a dowry when she gets married, it is often very limited.  According to custom, the dowry is a woman's body and property after marriage, while the betrothal gift belongs to the woman's parents.  Xiaoxia doesn't know what will happen in the future, so she is saving money for herself in advance.  Seeing this, Xiao Xia raised her eyes pitifully and asked, "Master, shouldn't I do this?" Xiao Jiu asked in return, "What do you think?" Xiao Xia lowered her head again and said, "But I can't help it, I can't just turn a blind eye.  It looks like the family will not be able to live in peace. "Xiao Jiu: "If you take out these ten copper noses, will the family be able to live in peace?" Xiao Xia: "Of course I have conditions. I will let my parents tell my uncle that he wants to take this money.  If you want money, you have to promise not to make trouble again." Xiaojiu still said?? asked: "Your uncle wanted to get money from you, and he got the money as expected. Seeing that this plan worked, he continued to pursue this idea. What should you do?" Xiaoxia: "Of course I will also declare that this is me  All the money I have saved is gone.¡± Xiaojiu shook his head and said, ¡°You take it for granted!¡± Xiaoxia: ¡°Why do I take it for granted?¡± Xiaojiu looked at Xiaoxia, knowing that what she was going through was shocking.  Sympathy, but inexplicably angry, and I don't know who I was angry with, and said with some excitement: "Can your uncle's matter really be solved by ten copper noses? If his habits don't change, giving him a copper nose will not only make him  Instead, it will only encourage bad habits and cause more harm to innocent people. You love your parents and grandma, why would you hurt them?  Where did this come from? Xiaoxia felt that her behavior was very kind, so kind that even she was touched by herself. However, after hearing such comments, she asked aggrievedly: "I am obviously helping them, I would rather suffer the consequences myself."  Why are you hurting them?" Xiaojiu: "Did your uncle do the right thing?" Xiaoxia: "Of course he did it wrong, but" Xiaojiu waved her hand and interrupted her: "You knew it was wrong, but you still did it?  Do you want to condone his behavior? He asks for money from your parents, so you let him ask for success! Who is he, what will he think, and what will your parents do if he can get so much money through that kind of behavior?  The family was initially uneasy, but as long as you take these ten copper noses and give them to your uncle, I'm afraid there will be unrest in the future. "Xiao Xia: "You have to agree in advance, right?  Once we have the money, we will stop making trouble, and I will also ask my parents to tell my uncle that if I ask for more money, that¡¯s all.¡± Xiaojiu: ¡°Let me ask you, have your parents and your grandma been right about this?  Has he said this many times? This is not the first time he has come to ask for goods, but he has never received so many copper noses. Since he has said it many times to no avail, will it work this time?  : "But this time it's ten bronze noses! And it's really only once. I won't take it again, even if I do my best for my parents." Xiaojiu couldn't hold back as soon as he opened his mouth this time: "Ten bronze noses are here.  It seems like a lot to you, but is it really a lot? It's just enough to buy a cow! In the past, he only got a little money, and your family was already overwhelmed. Now that he can ask for ten copper noses, he will only get worse.  The matter is not about the amount of money, but about who he is, and you don¡¯t know; it¡¯s more about what this is, and whether you should do this, and you don¡¯t know. Ask yourself, should he really ask for your money?  , Are you really willing to give him money? What is the reason why you still do things that you shouldn¡¯t and don¡¯t want to do? You can make trouble for ten copper noses.  Something terrible happened, your parents and grandma were innocent, but you let your uncle come to the door to make evil demands, and then made the evil demands even worse. Isn't this hurting the innocent? You gave the evil uncle the money you saved with your own hands, and made him  If you succeed, or you think it is a kind act, is it really a good deed? " His words were very rude and meant to be reprimanded. Xiao Xia was already aggrieved. At this moment, even her "good deed" was denied. Xiao Xia was also a little angry, but she was not  Dare to show it, but asked: "How dare you be so sure about something that hasn't happened yet? No matter what, I can't see my parents suffer, so I have to do something. And my parents came to discuss this matter with me,  Now I am the only one who can save money in the family. "How could the young master seem to have seen everything that happens next at such a young age? Maybe it is not what he said?  This is what Xiaoxia has in mind.  Xiao Jiu stamped her feet and said: "I don't want to see my parents suffer, but let them suffer even more. If you knew this, you would still do it?" Xiao Xia doubted the letter and said: "Is this really going to happen? Then, sir, what should I do?  "What?" Xiaojiu sighed and said, "Although I have never encountered this kind of thing, I have remembered it when I was in Baoming Kingdom! My father had hundreds of children, and the concubines and in-laws were fighting with each other.  , I have never seen such a mess, otherwise why would I come here voluntarily? Your thing is too simple, I have seen it many times, and I can think of the result with my heels.  If you can see the signs, you should eliminate the causes. Otherwise, it will only become more troublesome, not to mention that it will only encourage the trend.  It will subside on its own; if the evil attempt succeeds, it will get worse. If you want to cut off the trend, not only can you not give out these ten pottery noses, but as long as your uncle does not change his habit, you must also dissuade your parents from giving him any more money.  He. He can't succeed with your parents. Although I'm not sure whether he will make trouble again, this is a necessary prerequisite if you want to live in peace."sp; Xiaoxia said hesitantly: "I understand what the young master said, but what if my uncle still comes to make trouble and even takes the property by force?" Xiaojiu: "This is a helpless thing. Who allowed this to happen in the world?  We can only try our best to prevent such people from succeeding. If they take their property by force, they will be punished by the officials of the government office.  How is that possible! They are all relatives, how can they be sent to the government for punishment? If they are really punished and imprisoned, what will happen to his children?" Xiaojiu frowned and said, "If it is a robbery of property, this should be done.  Shouldn't it be your uncle's turn to be punished? Since all other criminals in the world have parents and families, shouldn't they be punished for their crimes? As for what happens next, we'll talk about it later!  , Didn¡¯t you do it from the beginning?¡± He said: ¡°Everyone understands the truth, but what¡¯s the use? You are not me, and you can¡¯t understand my situation. No matter how well others explain the truth, it will be the end of the matter.  Can you just watch? Master, there¡¯s no need to say any more. I¡¯ll think about it carefully.¡± She has said everything she needs to say, but Xiaoxia is still hesitant.  Xiaojiu sighed and walked away with his hands behind his back: "Who said truth is useless? Knowing but not doing it will lead to empty talk. There is too much helplessness, because the so-called things are coming I once heard an expert explain the power of freedom, today  It's so rare." Xiao Xia sat alone in the room and thought to herself: "How can you be so hard-hearted at such a young age? Can't you even understand the suffering of others?  Ah! Things are not so easy to explain. Only when you meet them will you know" Xiaojiu is only nine years old, and this is her family matter. Xiaoxia didn't expect Xiaojiu to solve his problems.  The reason why she said it was that she felt too wronged and wanted to find someone to talk to. She hoped that someone would praise her kindness, sympathize with her experience, and feel sorry for such a good girl to have such a thing happen to her. This is the most important thing.  Yes, it is also what she wants most!  But what happened?  He didn't show much sympathy, and instead scolded her. It seemed like there was no hope for her.  Thinking about it, Xiaoxia couldn't help crying again.  Of course, Qing Niu was very aware of what was going on in the other courtyard, so he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and he didn't know who he was shaking his head for.  8
