Restaurant, private room.

Xiao Er came up with wine and food, closed the door and left. Mei Xiucai got up and poured the wine.

Du Li was squinting at Mei Xiucai, not understanding what flowers he could say. Could it be that he thought that he had really divorced Du Erniang, and the two families could still speak calmly?

Mei Xiucai finished pouring the wine, but sighed before saying a word, and said, "Hey, father-in-law, there is really no way for the son-in-law." Although Erniang is not my wife, she will give birth to a pair of daughters for me, but if there is any other way, it will not come to this point! ”

It turned out to be helpless.

The corners of Du Lizheng's mouth twitched, and he sneered: "How do you say this?" Who's going to force you to fail? ”

Mei Xiucai struggled for a moment, and Fang whispered: "Father-in-law, you are really stronger than people, there is no other way!" ”

The former Weng son-in-law has their own plans, not a heart-to-heart relationship, and Mei Xiucai wants face in the end, and he will not say that he wants to cling to power, so he only half-truths and half-truths about the Liang family's choice of son-in-law and land purchase.

"Now that I want to buy a dowry for Miss Liang, I fell in love with my father-in-law's land and Gui Wu's food shop, the food shop is right in front of me, they have their backs to the Hou Mansion, but they are coming to the house, so naturally they are not in a hurry, and they have looked at the ten hectares of hidden fields of the father-in-law before, and they have already informed the Hou Mansion!" Mei Xiucai sighed: "The people don't fight with the officials, and the father-in-law shouldn't hold on, otherwise there will be a rush, and it won't be a land purchase." ”

Now that the Hou Mansion is willing to give out the silver, there will still be silver left after selling it honestly, otherwise the other party will find a crime and take the land through the yamen, which is not a difficult matter, and it will not be a transaction at that time.

As for the Liang family's interest in Mei Sheng, naturally they didn't mention it, only saying that they had no intention of meeting Miss Liang in the county and did a small favor, and Miss Qianjin was willful and entangled with him, even ignoring that he was already married, and he had to marry as a concubine. The Liang family naturally didn't follow, and they were reluctant to go against their daughter's wishes, so they "warned" Mei Xiucai to find a way by herself.

A lie, true or false, if someone else says it, it can't really be fooled, but who is Duri? He didn't rush to expose Mei Xiucai's lies, but thought about it a little and roughly distinguished the truth from the false. The matter of buying real estate should be true, and it is nothing to buy a few hectares of land in Tongzhou with silver in hand, but now it is just in time to move the capital, and a large piece of fertile land can not be found, and it really needs to be carefully visited.

The ten acres of land directly outside Duli can hide from ordinary villagers, but they can't bear to check down from the government. The Liang family has a daughter to be married, and there is no need to lie, as for Mei Xiucai, a middle-aged Luo Tuo Xiucai, it is nonsense.

Mei Xiucai is handsome, and he has cleaned up the profits before, but that was before, and now he is addicted to gambling, often staying up in the county, his face is yellow and dull, and he looks like he is more than a few years old, even if Miss Liang is blind, if she thinks Mei Xiucai is good, the Liang family can also know Mei Xiucai's old background when she inquires, and it is strange if she doesn't clean him up directly, can you really negotiate marriage with him? It's almost the same for Mei Sheng.

Changed to Mei Sheng?

That Miss Liang has not been married, she should be a girl who has not yet reached the end of her life, and she has a brother who is studying in the official school, and she has heard or seen Mei Sheng. With Mei Sheng's age and qualifications, he is the one who can be recognized by the Hou Mansion.

Du Li is being empowered, thinking about Mei Sheng's talents, the more he thinks about it, the more this is the truth.

Since the other party has taken a fancy to Mei Sheng, there has been no word yet, naturally because Mei Sheng and Du Liujie already have a marriage contract. This black-hearted Liang family not only wants to seize the Du family's land, but also wants to rob the Du family's son-in-law.

has been a powerful man in Mujia Village for more than ten years, and Du Li has always been "oppressing people with power", but now he is forced to come forward, which is really indescribable.

Duri was secretly hating in his heart, and he made up his mind in an instant. Mei Xiucai, a cheap son-in-law, is bold, and he is nothing more than thinking of the idea of "Li Dai Taozhuang", and let him go with the Liang family's dog to eat dog. Let's break this family, otherwise, with Mei Xiucai's shamelessness, when he is not there, where is the Li family's mother and son his opponents?

On the contrary, it is Mei Sheng, who will take a career in the future, cherish his reputation and feathers, but he will not act so wantonly.

If the two sons-in-law can only choose one, they will naturally choose Mei Sheng.

Du Li made a decision in his heart, and his face was slightly relieved.

Seeing this, Mei Xiucai immediately said: "Brother Sheng and the sixth sister are in a hurry, and it hinders the seniority, if Brother Sheng is unwilling, and uses this to delay for a few years, who knows what changes will be made." Now that I am separated from Erniang, the two of them are no longer in the way. Next year is the year of the township test, so take advantage of the happy event before the end of the game, so as not to cause extraneous branches. ”

Du Li snorted coldly and said, "Mei Sheng is Mei Sheng, you are you!" If you want to marry a noble wife and run for the future, I won't stop you, but this letter of divorce will never be accepted! ”

Mei Xiucai heard that there seemed to be a sense of loosening in these words, and said earnestly: "What does my father-in-law mean?" ”

"Together! Then directly separate Brother Zhi's brothers and sisters! Dury said lightly.

Mei Xiucai couldn't help frowning, Mei Xiao was just a yellow-haired girl, but Mei Zhi was his eldest son.

"Miss Nadu is young, and she wants to be a stepmother, so it's cheap. Mei Zhi is not too small, and he should avoid suspicion. Douri continued.

Mei Xiucai thought that Miss Liang was only one year older than her son, and when the time came, the young stepmother and stepson, under the same roof, thought about it in her heart, and she was willing in her heart, but she was still embarrassed: "Brother Zhi is the eldest son in the end, and now that the fields in the family have been fooled by the Gui family, they can't let the two brothers and sisters go out naked!" ”

Du Li is sneering in his heart, not going out naked, is there any other field in the Mei family?

"Erniang has fifty acres of makeup land under her name, and she will never starve Brother Zhi'er and their two brothers and sisters, but if you are reluctant, this proposal will be abandoned, in the end, it is the flesh and blood of the Mei family, and there is no reason for outsiders." Duri said unhurriedly.

Mei Xiucai touched her nose, and couldn't help muttering in her heart that Du Li is stingy, there are still fourteen acres of land left in the open and in secret, what is it to take out more than 100 acres to give to his grandson? If the Du family is really willing to give Mei Zhi more than 100 acres of land, it will be a pity that the father and son will have to return to him at that time.

Du Li Zheng lowered his eyes, one of his seven brothers is too thin, and it is a good thing to have more Mei Zhi, a nephew, to support each other, but it can't be cheaper than this Mei Xiucai, and keep him to deal with the Liang family, there will always be a day of reckoning.

Mei Xiucai was easy to "fool" Du Lizheng, for fear of something wrong, and he didn't dare to be greedy anymore, so he wrote the documents of "Separation Letter" and "Separation", and went directly to the Yamen for the record.

The uncle and nephew of the Gui family had already left, but the scribe Zhong was surprised.

This Du Li Zheng is too cowardly, and he was really convinced, although it is now a "divorce" and not a "divorce", but in the eyes of the world, there is not much difference, and not only did he not support the married daughter, but even his grandchildren were separated, which is really rare.

People have clans, and trees have roots. If Mei Zhi is an adult son, he will be separated, which is still a few years away from Chengding. The so-called "separation" and not "separation", the separation document indicates that the two brothers and sisters are raised and married by the Du family, and the Mei family is not allowed to interfere, in addition to changing the surname, this pair of children is considered the Mei family or the Du family?

Mei Xiucai's face was stinky, and this article was added by Du Li Zheng.

This marriage event has always been "the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker", and Mei Xiucai was naturally reluctant to add this article. Mei Zhi is okay, why don't good men have no wife; Mei Xiao is there, her appearance is to her biological mother, but she is very beautiful and cute, and she will not be able to say that she will be able to talk about a good family business in the future.

Du Li is not stupid, since he is not willing to raise two grandsons for nothing and then let the Mei family take advantage, so he said: "Brother Zhi is still four years away from Cheng Ding, and there are ten years of young people in Nan Nanli and Lu, the raising of their brothers and sisters is the business of the Mei family, but you are not easy, I will take it, and the marriage of their two brothers and sisters does not have to worry about you, if you respond, add a sentence, if you think it is inappropriate, the raising funds, and the future wedding fee will also add a sentence, black and white, and worry about the paperwork, lest the bride enter the door and have a ruffle. You don't have to think I'm verbose, this has been a stepmother since ancient times, and you and the bride will have children in the future, and it will be inevitable that you will be negligent and inconsiderate, or put them in front. ”

When it comes to money, Mei Xiucai, who is poor in her pocket, has no confidence, so she added this article according to Du Lizheng, until this time, I can't help but feel a little reluctant in my heart, in the end, it is a pair of children, but thinking of Miss Liang, who has a relationship with the Hou Mansion, this pair of children is not rare. Miss Liang is the "righteous daughter" of the Hou Mansion, and the children born are the grandsons and granddaughters of the Hou Mansion, where can the stupid and unreadable Mei Zhi be compared with the immature and weak Mei Xiao?

The two families negotiated well, and the Du family was not going to commit a crime, so it could be redeemed.

Mei Xiucai was afraid that Du Shi would come out to make trouble, so she hurried away after completing the formalities.

When Du Li was paying twenty taels of silver, when Du Shi came out, he realized that he was no longer the wife of the Mei family, and even a pair of children were swept out of the house.

As Scrivener Zhong thought before, in the countryside, where does it matter whether you are a "book of closure" or a "book of retirement", the people in the village have a lot of discussions, and they all know that it was the Du family who took their children and was swept out of the house by the Mei family.

However, the Mei family did not take advantage of it, that is, the housekeeper of the Du family took Du Erniang's dowry list, took someone to the Mei family, and moved the furniture and furnishings back in a few carriages.

Mei Tongsheng was dumbfounded, although he kept saying that the Du family was "disobedient" and asked his son to divorce his wife, but it was all verbal, and he wanted to use this to get some benefits from suppressing the Du family.

Mei Xiucai was afraid that Du Erniang would not be willing to come to the door to make trouble, and when the time came, she would be laughed at, so she came back and said "reunion" and "separation", and asked for two taels of silver and hid back in the town.

Mei Tongsheng couldn't wait to hide out, and trembled for two days, but except for the Du family's subordinates who moved the dowry, the wife was peaceful, and Du Erniang never showed up.

*

Du family, Du Erniang hugged her daughter, and her tears were about to dry.

Li was beside him, sighing in his heart, unable to say anything he wanted to persuade. These children are all the flesh that fell from the mother's body, and the good little girl has become like this, how can she stand it when she is a mother?

It's just that she tried her best, if Du Erniang was angry, she would be unashamed.

I don't know if it's because she left the Mei family, or because she was detained in the magistrate's prison for one night, Du Erniang's mind was sober, and the hatred on her face couldn't be hidden, but it was not for the Li stepmother, but for the Mei family, in addition to softly coaxing the young daughter who was as childish as a child, that is, cursing the Mei family's father and son for not dying well.

Li Shi listened, but he was much more relieved. If Du Erniang was really angry with her, then she really didn't dare to leave Du Erniang's mother and son at home, otherwise if she had bad intentions to harm Du Qi, wouldn't she cry to death?

However, Du Liujie couldn't help but be happy when she knew that Erniang was "reunited", so that her relationship with Mei Sheng would not involve generational ethics, and it would avoid future troubles.

On the Gui family's side, although Gui Chongyang is curious about Du Qi's background, there is another thing to pay attention to at the moment, that is, "Senior Brother Xu" sent someone to ask about the Liang family's property.
