On August 20, after a short three-day break, the village school resumed classes.

Mei Tongsheng's waist is better, but his face is drooping longer, as if someone owes him money all day long.

The date for the two Meadows to set up their engagement wine has been booked, which is the second day of the ninth month.

Mei Tongsheng has long regarded the marriage of the eldest grandson as a "strange commodity to live in", not to mention matching it to the princess and the county lord's mother, and she is also a daughter, but she didn't expect it to be the daughter of a small landlord, and she was frustrated and difficult to erase for a while.

To say that Mei Tongsheng just looked at Gui Chongyang, Yang Wu and others unpleasantly, and now Du Qi has been added to this unpleasant eye.

On the duty day of August 20, Mei Tongsheng designated Gui Chongyang, Yang Wu, Mei Xiaoba, and Du Qi.

Others are okay, they have been enrolled for more than half a month, and they have gone through several experiences, but Du Qi is the first time. He couldn't lift the water, he couldn't sweep the floor cleanly, and in the end he could only let him sprinkle the water, which was also uneven, but he got half of his body water.

Du Qi's wet clothes stuck to his body, and his little face showed a little pity.

Gui Chongyang looked at the broom in his hand, and then looked at the master's room not far away, his eyes narrowed, beckoned Du Qi to come to him, and said: "It's autumn, it's not a joke to catch a cold, there is still a quarter of an hour before the morning class, you hurry up and go home and change your dry clothes!" ”

Du Lizheng's house is not far from the village school, and it is enough to walk for a quarter of an hour quickly.

Du Qi was already uncomfortable, but he was still worried: "What if I come back late, and the master catches me?" ”

Gui Chongyang said: "It's been a few days off, and the master will go to the large class to check the homework first, and when he arrives in the small class, it will be after the beginning of the year (nine o'clock in the morning)." ”

Du Qi was relieved and hurriedly went home to change his clothes.

Mei Xiaoba came to Gui Chongyang and said, "Brother Chongyang, doesn't Grandpa Shan like us?" We've been here for most of the month, and we've been on duty four or five times? Okay, I didn't offend him, why don't you like us? ”

Mei Xiaoba is simple, but she is not a fool.

Obviously, each class has a duty table from the head of the class, but Mei Tong is angry and personally orders people to sweep it, Gui Chongyang and Yang Wu are among them, and even Mei Xiaoba has not been spared recently, and Du Qi has been added today.

Yang Wu also came over, and his face also showed doubts.

In the eyes of the students, the teacher is a fair and majestic person, but Mei Fuzi is majestic, but he can't talk about justice.

Although class sweeping is not a lot of work, it is also unpleasant to be so headless and brainless all the time.

Gui Chongyang looked at Yang Wu, and then at Mei Xiaobadao: "The master doesn't like me, because of the dowry of my aunt and cousin; Looking at Cousin Yang is not pleasing to the eye, but if you look at it more, you don't like Uncle Yang's kindness and sincerity; Xiaohachi here, most of them are the same as me; Du Qi is here, his attitude has only changed today, and he is not happy about the marriage of Mei Du. ”

After hearing the words, Mei Xiaoba and Yang Wu were even more confused.

"What did my father do to him if he was honest and sincere? He's annoyed? Yang Wu was puzzled.

Gui Chongyang chuckled and said: "is also the in-law of the Gui family, Uncle Yang's kindness and sincerity don't mean that he is mean or unkind, he is not happy." ”

Yang Wu understood now, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he was a little more afraid of Mei Tongsheng.

Mei Xiaoba frowned and said: "The dowries of my aunt and cousin are all the property before the second room, and they are the share that my aunt and cousin deserve, what is there to be angry about?" ”

Gui Chongyang said: "I understand that people will naturally think like this, and if there are such fools, they will feel that if they don't give it, it will be their own, and giving it is as uncomfortable as cutting their own meat!" ”

Mei Tongsheng's name of miserliness is not a secret, Mei Xiaoba opened her mouth and didn't say anything more.

Du Li is at home, Du Li is going to Xiji Town, and he is not at home, there is only the Li family at home.

Li was dissatisfied with his son's study in the village school, so he urged his husband to quickly solve the matter of the county school, but he didn't expect that the other side did not solve it, and his son was bullied.

"What's going on? Bullied? Which black-hearted seed poured water on you? Li Shi looked at his son's embarrassed appearance, like an old hen with fried hair, and immediately became excited.

"It's not bullying, it's the master who instructed us to do the sweeping, and the son is responsible for sprinkling, and the water on his body is all made by himself." Du Qi hurriedly explained.

Li was still indignant: "Can you get half of your body wet by sprinkling water? They must have bullied you and given you a light job? ”

Du Qi couldn't cry or laugh: "Mother, this is all about taking care of my son, my son can't lift water, and he can't sweep the floor, this is the turn of sprinkling water!" ”

Li was still uneasy: "Take care? Is there such a way to take care of people? You say, was it assigned by the little cub of the Gui family? There is no one else but him, he did it on purpose! After that, he was going to get up, and looking at it, it was obvious that he was going to the village school to find Gui Chongyang's posture.

Du Qi was immediately anxious.

When he was a child, he was ignorant, and after he came back from playing with the children in the village, he also complained in a daze, making his mother think that he was being bullied, which caused his mother to go to other children's houses to make a fuss.

Once or twice, the children in the village no longer have anyone to take care of Du Qi.

Du Qi didn't want his mother to become a loner by "protecting the calf" again, so he pulled her mother's arm and said: "Mother, you are also reasonable, it is obvious that Chongyang and they were dragged down by me, so they were ordered to be on duty by the master." The Master's face this morning was eight feet long, and his gaze was gloomy. He stared at his son for a while, and then ordered his son to be on duty, Chongyang and Xiaoba, they were just by the way. I couldn't lift water or sweep the floor, so I picked the lightest sprinkler, but I couldn't do it well! In the end, it was also a shame.

Among the few new friends, except for Yang Wu, who is one year older than him, Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba are younger than him, but they are better than him everywhere. Isn't he too scrappy?

"What a Mei Congshan, pretending to be a grandson in front of the master, it turns out that revenge is here!" When Li heard this, he was immediately annoyed.

The marriage of Du Mei's two families was not in Li's expectations, first, they didn't want Du Liujie'er, a stepdaughter with no morals, to marry a son-in-law with a promising future; The second is that Mei Sheng is too good, and it is not something that the Du family can control, so he supports him to help Du Qi, and he can't say that he will finally reverse the priorities, so that he has the opportunity to peek into the Du family's industry.

In the final analysis, everything Du Li Zheng and Li did was for their son. It's just that the woman in the house is always concerned about the one-third of an acre of land at the door of her house, and her heart is narrow; Men have a lot to think about, but they are not thorough.

Du Qi was afraid that the Li family would go to the village school to make trouble, so he immediately said: "Mother, the wet clothes are uncomfortable, and my son will go to change his clothes." ”

Li's attention shifted, and he immediately went to find a set of topless single clothes for Du Qi to change into.

This delay, the time is almost gone.

Du Qi thought about Mei Tongsheng's attitude, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Mei family, mother and father think about it, in the end, the twisted melon is not sweet, not to mention that Mei Fuzi is not happy, even Mei Sheng may not be happy, it is not good to offend people in order to be a parent!" ”

It's Sister Du, who didn't pass the door, and her husband's family didn't like it, so she could get a good place in the future?

Li waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this, you can go to school with confidence, and you will not be bullied in vain." ”

Du Qi hurriedly walked out, but he met Du Liujie.

Sixth Sister Du trembled angrily, and said with tears in her eyes: "Your mother and son can't see me so well, do you have to mix up the marriage to be happy?" ”

Du Qi was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "Sixth sister......"

Sixth Sister Du said angrily: "Don't call me Sixth Sister, I don't have a younger brother like you!" I know, it was my father who said that he would marry 100 acres of land and 800 taels of silver with me, which poked the hearts and livers of your mothers and girls, so he wanted to provoke this family affair! ”

Du Qi still didn't know the allusions of 100 acres of land and 800 taels of silver, and he became more and more confused.

Li Shi picked up the curtain and came out and looked at Sixth Sister Du coldly.

Sister Du Liujie has been honest these days, her heart is burning, and she understands that she can no longer deceive herself, no wonder her stepmother always doesn't care about herself, she used to be proud of her as a "concubine", and now she can't see her jokes.

Rejected by his father, he has a bad relationship with his stepmother, his mother's family is unreliable in the future, and the only thing he can count on is his future in-law's family.

The Mei family's family affair is the best family affair that Du Sixth Sister can climb, not to mention that Mei Sheng is still her favorite. Now she swallows her anger, just for the sake of the smooth and smooth affairs of her family.

Who would have thought that before the stepmother made a move, the half-brother would intervene, and Sixth Sister Du was really angry and annoyed.

It's just a fat fool born to a second married unchaste woman, but it's a legitimate son-in-law, why?

Although Mei Sheng has a good future, his family assets are meager, and he meets a ruthless uncle and aunt.

Sixth Sister Du had already planned how to use the 100 acres of land and 800 taels of silver, and the more she valued it, the more she would suffer from gains and losses, so she was worried that Li's mother and son would calculate their dowry and immediately make trouble.

Even when the Li family came out, Du Liujie was not afraid, but gave birth to a lonely courage, raised her chin and said, "I said it?" Nothing more? ”

Du Qi came with a little grievance on his face, and wanted to say something, but was pulled by the Li family.

"If you don't recognize the younger brother of Lao Qi, Lao Qi will not lack your sister! Remember what you said today, no one rarely interferes in your family affairs, you only recognize the Mei family, and it is your own business to be good in the future, we don't touch your light, and you don't expect to come and loot your mother's family! Li saw a figure out of the corner of his eye and said lightly.

"Humph! Don't think that if you give birth to a son, you can occupy all the property of the Du family! I am the daughter of the Du family, and I should not be given half a penny. Sixth Sister Du only took a step back from the Li family, and became more and more confident.

"I don't know, how much should I give you?" Duri was darkened, and he was measuring the truth.

Du Liujie's face was pale: "Daddy......"

"I don't recognize the younger brother of Lao Qi, only the Mei family? It's rare, but remember to recognize your father? Dury scoffed.

"Dad misunderstood, my daughter didn't mean that, it was my wife and Lao Qi who were reluctant to marry their daughter, and they didn't like this family business!" Sixth Sister Du hurriedly said.

Li pulled Du Qi by his side, but it was not uncommon to defend himself, and he secretly scolded Du Sixth Sister for being stupid.

If Sixth Sister Du only talked about the Li family, she couldn't say that Du Li had heard it, but she shouldn't involve Du Qi. She had just finished saying that she didn't recognize Du Qi as her younger brother, and now she was suspicious of Du Qi, and in the eyes of Du Lizheng, she had an external heart, and she didn't care about brotherhood in order to fight for the dowry.

Sure enough, Duri's face darkened.
