Mei Shi and Mei Duo were stunned, and the room was silent.

Although in terms of blood kinship, Mei Sheng in front of him is the closest relative, but the aunt and nephew have lived in the Gui family for many years, and they are biased towards the Gui family in their hearts, so they are faintly wary of Mei Sheng.

Who made Mei Sheng the grandson of Mei Tongsheng and the nephew of Mei Xiucai.

Even if Mei Sheng was treated poorly by his uncle and aunt when he was a child, he is now a showman, and Mei Tongsheng, who is his grandfather, has to coax and persuade this eldest grandson, they are a family in the end.

There is also the fact that Mei Sheng is the son of Mei Qingsong, and Mei Qingsong's death has nothing to do with the Gui family, so the more everyone praises Mei Sheng for being great in the future, the more worried Mei's aunt and nephew are, worried that Mei Sheng will hate the Gui family because of the events of the year.

Although Gui Yuan, the "culprit", is dead, he has Gui Chongyang's son. If Mei Sheng admits death and thinks about "the father and the son repay the debt" or something like that, then no one else can say anything.

Gui Chongyang's age is younger than Mei Sheng, and his health is poor, even if he successfully takes the test after three years of filial piety, he will start later than Mei Sheng.

Mei's aunt and nephew are deeply involved with the Gui family, and they know that there is another hidden story in the matter of "Jiuding" back then, and they are not angry with Gui Chongyang, but can Mei Sheng let go of his grievances?

Unexpectedly, Mei Sheng came over today not to intercede for the clansmen, but to mention the incident thirteen years ago.

Mei's thoughts were confused, and he was speechless for a while, and Mei Duo asked directly: "Since you suspect him, why are you still related to the Du family?" ”

The things of that year could not stand up to scrutiny, even if no one knew the truth about Gui Yuan's "stealing silver and running away" before, but after that, the Du family colluded with "Dong Gui" to prevent Gui Li from selling land to raise money.

After the decline of the Gui family, it was the foothold and rise of the Du family in Mujia Village.

The Northern Yuan people who robbed the grain road and killed people are hateful, and the Du family, who dragged the Gui family to raise money, is even more hateful.

"It's not me who is close to the Du family!" Mei Sheng said lightly.

The implication is that he doesn't recognize this family!

This marriage event has always been "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker", Mei Sheng's parents died, and his biological grandfather has the right to be the master of the family.

Mei Shi was silent, looked at the deserted young man in front of him, and his heart sank.

Mei Sheng holds a grudge and will resent Du Lizheng, will he forgive the Gui family?

But what happened back then, was it really only the fault of the Gui family and the Du family?

Mei gritted his teeth and came out with a bit of pain.

Mei Duo already hated and said: "Forty-five taels of silver, nine lives!" Just for the right position, God will always watch! ”

Mei Sheng didn't answer Mei Duo's words, only looked at Mei's family, and said, "Thirteen years ago, what kind of handle did my aunt take from the Mei family, so that my grandfather and second uncle agreed that my aunt brought my sister to the Gui family?" ”

Mei's face changed.

Mei Duo was surprised and looked at Mei Shi.

Mei's face was pale, her lips moved, and she couldn't speak.

Mei Duo thought of a possibility, where could she still sit still, and immediately turned over and stood up, but she didn't dare to ask.

Mei raised Mei Duo, and she couldn't see what she was thinking, so she shook her head and smiled bitterly: "It's not my sister-in-law's business!" ”

Mei Duo breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that her back was covered with cold sweat.

"Raising grace is greater than giving birth", in Mei Duo's heart, the aunt who raised herself is naturally more important than the biological mother she never remembers. But if the aunt really knew that her biological mother was sold, but she used this as a condition to negotiate with Mei Tong's father and son to get out, and concealed herself for more than ten years, even if Mei Duo could understand, she would be sad in the end.

Mei looked at his niece, then at his nephew, and couldn't help but look at the new furniture in the house. If it was just for herself, she could keep her oath and keep silent about the things of the year, but if she really didn't say anything, she wouldn't have to cause trouble to the Gui family.

Even if Mei Sheng doesn't come today, Mei Shi is planning to find an opportunity to remind him of a thing or two, and it doesn't seem to be too early to say now.

"I can't say!" Mei lowered his head and spoke for a long time, but it was these four words that he said.

Mei Duo was already waiting to be anxious, and said dissatisfiedly: "Auntie, what are you hiding for them?" You treat them as relatives, but they don't treat you as relatives? ”

Although Mei Duo hated Du Lizheng, Mei Tongsheng's father and son did not fall behind.

Mei Sheng didn't say anything, but Mei Duo believed in his eyes, this Mei Sheng came to ask this, he didn't have a good heart, and Mei Tongsheng's father and son were not all the way.

Mei Sheng said: "My aunt 'can't' say it, not 'don't want to' say it, but she was forced to swear a poisonous oath? And is it not good for the ancestors? ”

Sealing the mouth of a big living person is just these means, and it is not difficult to guess.

Mei's eyes were red and she pursed her lips, but she didn't say anything more.

Mei Duo frowned and said, "What else have they done to lack morality?" ”

Mei Sheng's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "What else?" Gui Yuan was not the only one who stole money back then! ”

Mei closed her eyes, this is not what she said, her parents and eldest brother will not be disturbed underground, right?

Mei Duo didn't reflect at first, and after a while, she said in a trembling voice, "What does this mean?" ”

Mei sighed and did not speak.

Mei Sheng said: "Five taels of silver and one ding, the Li family and the Yang family are not well-off, they barely made it up once, and it is understandable that they can't make up the second time; The Mei family has two rooms, a total of more than 60 acres of land, and can't make up 15 taels of silver? ”

"Fifteen taels? Why fifteen taels, shouldn't it be ten taels? Meadow's mind became a slurry.

At the beginning, there were nine people in Mujia Village who used to serve in Ding to transport military rations to Mongolia, and there was one person in each of Mei's family room and the second room, Mei Sheng's father Mei Qingsong and Mei Duo's father Mei Qingzhu, and the result was naturally that the two cousins died.

Mei Sheng sneered: "Back then, the draw was two draws one, three draws two, and the long room three should draw two people." ”

Mei Qingbai's show was only won last year, so he naturally had to serve in Ding before that.

"The long house and the second room have been separated back then, and the second grandfather still has the bundle of the village school in the account, I don't believe that the second room can't make up five taels of silver." Mei Sheng said.

Mei Duo looked at Mei's family: "Auntie, what's going on?" ”

Mei Shi opened his eyes at this time, and his eyes were red: "Back then, the Gui family wanted to sell land to make money, and your grandparents were not at ease, after all, the Mei family had three dings, and they also wanted to help the Gui family." But your grandfather has always pitied the poor and the weak, and often helps the poor students in the village school to pay for their shackles, and his savings are limited. As soon as the matter of smoking Ding came out, Changfang excused himself not to be rich, and he had already borrowed eight taels of silver. As soon as the matter of losing the silver came out, in order to make up the silver, everything that could be done in the family was done, and they made up twenty-three taels and four dollars of silver, but when they left the county seat, they were robbed, and your grandfather was also knocked unconscious, and the Great Zhengyue lay in the wild for a long time, and he was infected with a cold ......"

"What is the evidence? Does the second grandfather know? Mei Sheng said.

Mei Duo gritted his teeth and said: "The day before the Ding, my father was not at ease, and dragged the sick body to the Gui family, only to know that the long house paid five taels of silver to exempt Mei Qingbai's Ding service." The five taels are silver ingots, with the mark of the pawnshop in the town, and my uncle knows about my family's loss of silver, and he knows that it is wrong, so he took the silver and asked my father to recognize it...... My father vomited a mouthful of blood and went to the long room to find someone, their father and son had already hid out, only your father was there, and he was packing his luggage and preparing for the next sunrise, and he didn't know anything else...... My uncle once asked my father if he wanted to replace my eldest brother's name and report Mei Qingbai's, but my father didn't agree......"

In fact, even if Gui Li and Second Grandpa Mei suspected Mei Tongsheng back then, they only suspected Mei Tongsheng, and they couldn't be sure in the end.

Because everyone can go to the pawnshop in the town, the Mei family's second room has to draw two dings, and it is not uncommon for pawns to make up money. This is also the reason why Gui Lizheng only asked Second Grandpa Mei in private, and Second Grandpa Mei was unwilling to replace his son with a nephew.

What if it's just a coincidence? What if Mei Tongsheng is wronged?

When Mei's parents died, he was forced to marry by his uncle and cousin, and he had no way out, so he could only hold on to a glimmer of hope and use this incident to "threaten" Mei Tongsheng.

Mei Tongsheng was weak in his heart, only when Mei had empirical evidence, accepted the "threat", and promised Mei to take Mei Duo to stay in the Gui family, but he also forced Mei to swear that he could not tell others about this matter, otherwise the dead Second Grandpa Mei and Mei Qingzhu would not be able to cast a human fetus in the next life.

Gui Yuan stole Ding Yin and was spurned by the villagers; The Mei family's behavior is worse than that.

Gui Yuan was only fifteen years old when he "ran away", and he didn't know that his family couldn't get together two hundred taels of silver. Mei Tongsheng knew that the silver was not ready, so he could only "grab" the silver when he was out, and in order to cover up the matter, he only took out five taels, and even the eldest son and nephew were lost.

Maybe Mei Tongsheng was just trying to make money, and he didn't expect it to be so serious, but the consequences are here, if it spreads, the Mei family will be discredited, and Mei Tongsheng is naturally worried.

"Brute! Not people! Mei Duo trembled angrily.

I really can't imagine that there are such people in the world, who have done such a bad thing, but when the Mei family's second house is broken, they feel a little guilty, but they have to make inches and occupy the second house.

Mei Shi also had red eyes, when she first learned the truth, her reaction was not much better than Mei Duo. Otherwise, Mei Duo, the infant niece, needs to be raised, and she wants to take a kitchen knife and die with Mei Tongsheng.

Mei Sheng was still calm, Mei Duo was indignant, and said: "You can figure it out, that is not only the enemy of our second room, but also yours!" ”

Mei Sheng said indifferently: "It was he who took five taels of silver and sent it to the Gui family, and was he the one who robbed the money?" ”

Mei Duo was stunned, and Mei Shi also raised her head.
