In Xiji Town, Mei Xiucai came out of the casino with a gloomy expression.

The people who often come to the casino in the town are none other than those people, and when they saw Mei Xiucai's expression, they knew that this was a clean loss again, so they couldn't help but feel bad luck and avoided it.

Mei Xiucai's face became more and more ugly, snorted coldly, and threw his sleeves away.

Today, on the eighth day of October, it is a small gathering, and there are already many villagers on the street who have come to catch up with the market.

Mei Xiucai walked on the road, tightened her clothes, and felt more and more hungry.

When passing by "Barilla", Mei Xiucai stopped, looked at the long queue at the door, only felt that Lao Jin was too useless, shook his head and left, but was just looked at by Gui Qiu, who was standing on the second floor.

Even if he looks down on Lao Jin, Mei Xiucai also knows that no one is a fool, and relying on the Hou Mansion over there, this silver can be taken once or twice for nothing, I am afraid that there will be no third or fourth time.

The family affairs of these two families always have to make some progress before they can find an excuse to ask for money again.

Before, Mei Xiucai thought that she couldn't let this family business happen no matter what, try to fool and delay, and she couldn't give Mei Sheng the opportunity to climb to the rich, but now she was red-eyed, but she changed her mind.

This family affair has been done, Mei Sheng has the backer of the Hou Mansion, can't he Mei Xiucai also play the signboard of the Hou Mansion? There is also Mei Sheng, who gave up his previous family affairs and climbed to another official, which is also a handle.

Scholars, who have always paid attention to their demeanor and bones, are jealous, and they can't wait for everyone to have shortcomings, and Mei Xiucai has suffered losses.

Mei Xiucai divorced his wife and married another person back then, and Mei Gui's two families were separated by two lives, even if they went from the government, they should also be sentenced to "righteousness" between husband and wife, why can't he divorce his wife directly?

At that time, Mei Xiucai was still a child, no one paid attention to it, and no one mentioned this matter; After Mei Xiucai passed the hospital examination last year and became a Xiucai, the matter of "divorce of his wife" was talked about.

No one pursued the grievances of the Mei Gui family more than ten years ago, what everyone saw was that the Du family had Du Lizheng, a landlord and squire, but the Gui family was a small family with a difficult livelihood, and it was necessary to buckle a hat of "disliking the poor and loving the rich" to Mei Xiucai's head.

Mei Xiucai has always been a little clever, and she has defended herself a few times, but it has not helped much.

When Mei Sheng lost his reputation and ended up like this, that was what Mei Xiu couldn't wait for.

Thinking like this, Mei Xiucai is not so reluctant to do this family business.

Thirty miles from the town to Mujia Village, Mei Xiucai didn't have any silver in his pocket, but he didn't delay him hiring a car.

Because he was sitting in the carriage, Mei Xiucai missed Du Qi and Mei Zhi on the way to the town looking for people.

When she arrived outside Mei's house, Mei Xiu got out of the car and knocked on the door.

Xiao Li was clearing the snow in the yard when he heard a knock and went over to open the door.

Mei Xiucai thought it was Du Shi, and said directly: "Take twenty cents for the handlebar type." ”

When Xiao Li saw Mei Xiucai, he was stunned and speechless.

Then Du Shi is still locked up in the Yamen prison of Zhixian County, will this Mei Xiu make trouble? And on the little girl's side, Xiao Li's sister-in-law hurriedly came over to talk about it, and told her to be more lenient and not to ruin her reputation. Xiao Li really felt that he had died unjustly. He is not a fairy, who would know that the Du family would hide his daughter? And the Du family's side is not authentic, and the two children don't know if there is one less?

No matter how aggrieved Xiao Li was, he couldn't help but feel weak when he saw Mei Xiucai.

Mei Xiucai had already seen Xiao Li's family, but he still ordered like an uncle: "Settle the fare first!" ”

Xiao Li was not confident enough, so he answered in a low voice, counted out twenty cents from his purse and handed it to the coachman.

Thirty miles of road is not close, and it is winter, and other families always have to give bowls of hot water, this family is not kind, the coachman muttered in his heart, collected the money and shouted and left the carriage.

Mei Xiucai was hungry early, so she was in a hurry to eat, so she went back to the wing room to find Du.

Is this mother-in-law also lazy? With Xiao Li's pole as an old mother, does this mean that you want to shake off your hands and enjoy Qingfu?

I don't want to have any heat in the room, and I don't see Du's mother and son.

Mei Xiucai couldn't help but be surprised, stood up, and turned to go out.

Just as Xiao Li put the broom and was about to pick up the curtain and go back to the upper room, Mei Xiucai asked directly, "What about Du?" What about Nannan? ”

Xiao Li's color changed when he heard this, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Mei Xiucai couldn't help frowning when she saw that something was wrong.

Mei Tongsheng heard movement in the room, hesitated for a moment and said, "Come in and talk!" ”

Mei Xiucai only then knew that Lao Tzu was at home, and glanced at Xiao Li, showing contempt.

Mei Tongsheng also knew about his granddaughter's illness, but he didn't take it to heart, but it was just a girl, it was because of Du's negligence, what does it have to do with others?

It's Du Shi's place, just go to the yamen to go through the motions and scare it, you can't keep it closed all the time.

Mei Xiucai was dumbfounded, she really didn't expect that such a big incident would happen when she was not at home for three or two days.

Mei Tongsheng always knew that his son had the right idea, and he was somewhat afraid that he would complain about himself, so he said Xiao Li and Du in his head, and said: "Li is young, in the end, the generation is here, Du is too inferior, I can show her face today, Ming'er will take a big face in Lao Tzu, let her learn a lesson." You go to the Du family, their Du family's daughter is not filial, they always have to give our Mei family an explanation! Otherwise, the Mei family would not have this woman who entered the yamen and came out! ”

actually asked the Du family for silver under the pretext that Du was detained, Mei Xiucai was annoyed at first, and she was also moved when she heard this, but now it is the time when there is a shortage of silver, Lao Jin can't take it out, but the Du family can come up with a sum here.

It's just that Mei Tongsheng is right, the Mei family doesn't have this woman who entered the yamen and came out. Mei Xiucai's eyes rolled, and she actually had a few different thoughts.

The "righteous daughter" of the Hou Ye, Mei Sheng married, why can't he marry Mei Qingbai? He is only a young man, and he is the same age.

As for the Du family, an unfilial woman, even the yamen has entered, and she is still embarrassed? completely forgot Du's so-called "unfilial piety", or because he listened to his words and never treated Xiao Li as a stepmother.

With this thought in her life, Mei Xiucai was actually hot, and she felt more and more lucky. What is the rest of the Du family's children, all left behind.

It's just that he also knows that compared with his fourteen-year-old nephew, his uncle really has no strengths, so letting Mei Sheng take the initiative to tell Miss Liang to him is tantamount to a daydream, and he needs to calculate carefully.

Mei Tongsheng saw that his son listened to his words and had no intention of supporting the Du family, and he was secretly relieved in his heart. It's good not to make a fuss, he can see it, if the son and daughter-in-law are single-minded, then no one in this family will have the final say.

It's good now, as for the matter of separating the family and the house, Mei Tongsheng was cowardly in front of his son, thinking that it was better to be vague first, and then he said that he was just teaching Du a lesson.

Du's house, upper room.

Li watched Mei Xiao take the medicine, tucked the quilt for her, patted it lightly a few times, and saw that the villain closed his eyes before getting up and coming out.

Sixth Sister Du sat in the hall, her face was a little ugly, and when she saw Li come out, she said with a little concern: "How are you better?" ”

"It's a little better." Li's mouth responded, but he despised Du Liujie's coldness in his heart. Mei Xiao is her niece, she avoided it yesterday, and today she doesn't even enter the back room, she only talks about it nicely. Fortunately, she didn't expect her to help Du Qi in the future, otherwise it would be in vain.

Last night, there was a shortage of soldiers, everyone was only worried that Mei Xiao would not have a fever, and they couldn't care about anything else, but Du Liujie was tossing and turning, and she didn't sleep well all night.

That Du Erniang is the daughter of the Du family, she carries the name of "unfilial piety" on her back, and Du Liujie, the maiden sister, is also gloomy. I heard that the reputation of a scholar is the most important, if Mei Sheng regards himself as an unfilial person because of Du Erniang, then wouldn't he be wronged?

Thinking like this, Sixth Sister Du didn't want the Du family to interfere in Du Erniang's affairs, and whispered to the Li family: "Madam, Xiao Qiyan saw the age of the relatives, but there is a second sister here, I'm afraid that it is inevitable that the outside will misunderstand our Du family." It is said that 'the married daughter spills out the water', I know that the wife is kind, but the second sister is the wife of the Mei family, even the Yamen side also recognizes the Mei family and does not recognize the Du family! There is also Brother Zhi and Nan Nan are the flesh and blood of the Mei family, and there is no reason to keep them in the Du family all the time, otherwise it would be like our Du family provoking their Mei family's flesh and blood relatives, thankless, why bother! ”

When Li Shi heard this, he couldn't help frowning, but instead of listening to Du Liujie's words, he felt more and more cold.

Even if she is not the same mother, Du Erniang is also the sister of Du Sixth Sister, at this time, my sister was bullied, not to mention the same hatred, and even disliked it; As for the Mei Zhi brothers and sisters, they have only been to the Du family for a day, so it hinders her eyes?

Sixth Sister Du only listened to the Li family, and continued: "The Mei family's reputation is invisible, our Du family can't be touched, even if the master is here, it must be the same meaning." ”

Li's brows furrowed even tighter, Master Du rarely has such a night when he doesn't go home, can't something happen?

Thinking of this possibility, the Li family was anxious, impatient to listen to the gossip of Sixth Sister Du again, waved his hand and said: "I know, you go back and continue to embroider the dowry, don't come here for the past two days, be careful of getting sick!" ”

Sixth Sister Du didn't leave, and said, "But didn't the seventh take Brother Zhi out again?" ”

Li Shi rubbed his brows and said, "I went to find your second brother-in-law, the Yamen wants the Mei family to come forward, who is not looking for him?" ”

Sister Du was satisfied, got up, and went back to the wing room to embroider the dowry.

Li Shi looked at the back of Sister Du Liu, her face was cold, such a wolf-hearted thing still wants to marry Mei Sheng? Dream! With Du Liujie's selfish and cold temperament, she can dislike Du Erniang today, and she can dislike Du Qi tomorrow.

Zhixian Yamen.

Gui Chongyang followed his uncle Gui Wu to come here for the lawsuit between Gui and Mei.

Even if Gui Er's grandfather didn't go over in person in the morning, Gui Chongyang was ready to withdraw the case. Compared with "stealing and hurting people", the crime of "disobedience and unfilial piety" is greater, even if the Mei family withdraws the case in the end, the yamen can clean up the weathering here and clean up the Mei Qingshu couple.

"Withdraw, withdraw, just when the imperial tomb came down to the official document, ready to draw Ding, when the time comes, you can't run him, you don't have to touch your hands anymore, but it's the Mei Du clan, is there really any evil behavior? Abandoned by her husband's family? Otherwise, why hasn't anyone in my husband's family shown up yet? Tensor said.

Gui Wu has only lived in Mujia Village for two months, and he doesn't know these things, and looks back like Gui Chongyang.

Although Du Erniang is not a good person regardless of her mother-in-law's family, Gui Chongyang did not fall into the ground, but said: "I have never heard of ...... in the past"

Before the words fell, I saw Master Zheng come in with a strange face and said, "My lord, the husband of the Mei Du clan is here." ”

Tensor raised his eyebrows and said, "But you want to pick someone back?" ”

"It's not to pick up people, it's to write a letter of resignation and send it...... It's really ruthless, he completely disregards a pair of children......" Master Zheng sighed.

When Gui Chongyang and Gui Wu's uncle and nephew heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other.

What is this called?

The heavens are clear, and the retribution is unpleasant!

Back then, the Du family took advantage of the fire to rob, wanted to marry the Mei family, sought the position of Lizheng, and instigated Mei Qingbai to take a break from Aunt Gui and marry Du Erniang; Now Du Erniang has also been suspended!

It's just that this is the retribution of the Du family, but what about the retribution of the Mei family?
