Chapter 109: "No Coincidence Doesn't Make a Book" (The First Shift Asks for a Monthly Pass)
Almighty Cultivation Supreme
Gui's family room had a sumptuous lunch today, half a fish stew, stuffed loaches in sauce, fried leeks with dried tofu, cold radish skin, and a pot of mussel meat and spinach soup.
The silver carp caught by Mei Xiaoba was more than two catties, Gui Chongyang was a vegetarian and didn't eat fish, and the remaining three people couldn't finish it.
Relatives come and go, there must always be a relationship.
Gui's second grandmother accepted the roasted fish, knowing that Mei Xiaoba caught it, so she praised Mei Xiaoba, and didn't let him come back empty, and stuffed a basket of melons for him.
This melon was planted by Gui's second grandfather's family, it was just ripe, sweet and noodles, Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba both loved to eat it, and Mei Xiaoba came back happily.
At the dinner table, Mei Xiaoba didn't know how to worry, and she ate fragrantly; Mei Duo was thinking about catching up with the market in a few days, and she was also in a good mood.
In the end, it is in the countryside, and the rules are not as rigid as in the city.
When it was time to catch the market, Mei Duo would be able to travel with Gui Chun. The two were childhood sweethearts, and now they are engaged again, and every time they see each other, it makes people blush and heartbeat, but they look forward to seeing each other again.
Gui Chongyang was silent, and Mei was always silent.
As long as you pay attention, you will find that the aunt and nephew do not pick up vegetables for half a day, and only clip the corner of the plate in front of them.
When the two noticed that something was wrong with each other, they looked at each other, but they didn't say anything at the dinner table.
After lunch, Mei Duo washed the dishes, Mei Xiaoba went to the backyard to feed the chickens, and Gui Chongyang said to Mei: "Auntie, don't worry about the Du family, the fifth uncle is staring at it." β
Mei Shi couldn't hide his worries: "The Du family hasn't done anything over the years, so we should avoid it." Du Li is looking like a bodhisattva, but he is ruthless. β
Back then, because the two families questioned that Du Li was a foreigner and should not be right, he "killed chickens and monkeys" and tried to expel the two families.
Although they didn't know what Gui Chongyang and Gui Wu were planning, the Mei family couldn't help but worry about their uncle and nephew. Gui Wu has some connections in the town, but it is in the town; Gui Chongyang is a little clever here, and his age and experience are here.
The weakness of the Du family is Du Qi, but Du Qi is not something that anyone can touch. Li is a madman, and he will ignore it for the sake of his son.
Gui Chongyang shook his head and said: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and it is not up to me and the fifth uncle to decide what step it has to do with the Du family now!" We are just here to protect ourselves, otherwise wait until the Du family calculates the Gui family again? Du Li Zheng is Li Zheng after all, and when it comes to service, he can directly report to the Yamen! β
Mei hesitated for a moment and said, "Chongyang, my aunt knows that you are a good boy with knowledge and ideas, but there are some things that you can do, and some things that you can't do." Whether it's for the events of the year, or to guard against the Du family. β
Gui Chongyang looked at Mei fixedly, and did not answer immediately.
Mei was afraid that he would not choose a paragraph for the sake of the things of the year, and use the calculation of Du Qi.
Although Gui Chongyang has a bad feeling for Du Qi in his heart, he doesn't agree with Mei's opinion.
"What if the culprit was really Du Lizheng? Is Du Qi, who was born and raised by Du Li and has been blessed for more than ten years, completely innocent? Gui Chongyang said: "Auntie, don't you think there is something suspicious about what happened back then?" The relationship between Ding Yin in the village, no matter how careful Grandpa was back then, he couldn't be too careful, why was it so coincidental that the county yahu section officials couldn't collect the silver when they weren't there? Grandpa waited until dark in the yamen before he was told that he had no choice but to stay in the town, and how could his father, who had always been kind and timid, suddenly have the courage to steal silver? And I don't need to talk about the sale of land to make money. Coincidentally, there is no book, is it really the Gui family who took the word 'back' and was unlucky all the way, or is someone calculating in the back? β
Mei's face turned pale when he heard this, and his body was already unsteady: "Is it really the Du family?" β
Thirteen years ago, the "Difficulty of Nine Dings" was a turning point in Mei's life.
Before that, she had a wealthy family, loving parents, a brother and sister-in-law who loved her, and a childhood sweetheart cousin fiancΓ©. Although it is said that the marriage date is finalized, because he is married to his uncle's family, he only has expectations in his heart and does not have much anxiety.
"The difficulty of nine dings", everything has changed.
The fiancΓ© ran away from home in a catastrophe, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead; The violent death of his brother, the death of his parents one after another, the forced marriage of his sister-in-law, and the only way out that Mei could think of was to carry his infant niece to Gui's house.
If all this is not an accident, not an accident!
Mei didn't dare to think that how many times she dreamed, she dreamed of the boudoir days, and woke up and secretly cried.
"It must be the Du family!" It was not Gui Chongyang who answered Mei's, but Mei Duo, who came in with a curtain.
"If it weren't for what happened thirteen years ago, Grandpa Gui would still be the respected Gui Lizheng, and Du Lizheng would not be a foreigner who should be in the position of Lizheng!" Mei Duo said calmly.
Mei Duo is different from Mei Duo, what happened thirteen years ago is a pain in Mei Shi's skin, and Mei Duo is only a distant past, so she can look at this matter from the perspective of a bystander.
Mei Shi and Gui Chongyang both looked at Mei Duo and invariably felt a little remorseful.
You shouldn't have said this at home.
Mei said: "With your Fifth Uncle Gui to check, you don't have to worry about this." β
Gui Chongyang hesitated for a moment and said, "Cousin, you should also know about this." β
Forcibly marrying Mei Duo's biological mother is Mei Tong's biological couple, but Mei Duo lost her father and grandparents one after another, and the root cause of losing the protection of her elders is still the "difficulty of nine dings".
Mei Duo's little face tightened, and she pulled Mei Shi and said, "I know that my aunt wants me to be happy, and I don't want this." But I'm my father's daughter, and he died for no apparent reason, so I can't know the cause and effect? β
Mei Shi shook Mei Duo back and said earnestly: "However, my aunt has no other hope, I only hope that you will be safe and healthy in the future." β
Mei Duo disapproved and looked at Gui Chongyang.
Gui Chongyang shook his head and said: "You can't have the heart to harm people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, if what happened back then was just an accident, and the Du family's joint sale of land was a stone, then there is nothing to say, after all, it is not their family who fell into the ground; If the events of that year were arranged by the Du family from the beginning, then aunt, do you think the Du family would be weak-hearted? With nine lives in it, they are not afraid that the Gui family will know about revenge? Even if the Gui family doesn't check or ask, it will be a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh, not to mention that the Gui family now has the fifth uncle as the pillar, and there are three of us in the lower part of Brother Chun, and the Du family only has a fat Du Qi. Even if the Du family has several sons-in-law, but in the end, they are outsiders, who can do their best for the Du family? My cousin's life is Brother Chun, and the Gui family is the root of Brother Chun, if the Du family calculates the Gui family, where will my cousin have a peaceful day? β
Needless to say, just say that the daughters of the Gui family, the third grandmother and the Li family remarried, Du Erniang repented of marrying and remarried, the second grandmother of Gui and the Yang family were poor and poor, and the Mei family relied on embroidery to support the family's livelihood, all because of the loss of dependence, each of them chose.
Gui Chongyang is not a person who talks a lot, and it is rare to break up the powerful relationship and tell the Mei family, just because she is afraid that she will forget to be vigilant and become the weakness of the Gui family's room in the future.
Mei Duo nodded hurriedly and said: "That is, if I am Du Lizheng, I must be wary of the descendants of the few people who were killed back then, and I can't say that there will be the idea of eradicating the grass and roots." β
Mei Shi shuddered and said, "Where is it, there is no royal law yet?" β
Mei Duo said: "It's not that it means that it wants people's lives, it's not impossible to say that the two families were forced to leave by Duri in the early years." β
Mei Shi was silent, sighed, looked at Gui Chongyang, and also looked at Mei Duo, and said: "You are all sensible children, and your aunt is not verbose, but you must remember that no matter what the truth was back then, it is still the most important person who is alive, and it is the most important thing to live your own life." If you make a mistake, my aunt and I won't survive! β
"Auntie, don't worry, I still want to be the head of the Gui family, and I will take good care of myself." Gui Chongyang hurriedly said.
Mei Duo said unhappily: "My aunt wants to live a long life, waiting for me to be filial to Chongyang, but don't talk about myself again!" β

Du's house, upper room.
Du Qi stood on the ground, tears swirling in his eyes, sobbing and sobbing, but he couldn't help crying.
"Smack", "Smack"!
Li Shi had red circles in his eyes, holding a feather duster, slapped Du Qi's back one by one, and said hatefully: "Do you dare?" β
The corners of Du Qi's mouth twitched, but he refused to respond to a word.
Li Shiqi's liver hurt: "What kind of ecstasy soup did that Gui Chongyang pour you?" It's just an illegitimate child with an unknown biological mother, full of heart and eyes, and it's not a good thing at first glance! β
Du Qi drooped his head and said in a low voice: "Chongyang is very good, he didn't look down on me......"
