Mujia Village, Meijia.

Mei Xiucai, who didn't return home for a few days, finally came back, Du Shi was already holding her stomach and was about to have a seizure, and she didn't want to open the door to see her husband, who was wrinkled in clothes and looked embarrassed, and there was also an old man who was weak and needed help.

All of Du's pickiness and dissatisfaction were suppressed, and he hurriedly helped his father-in-law to go to the room with her husband.

When she woke up in the hospital, Mei Xiucai never spoke again.

No one knew that Mei Tongsheng was really distressed and wanted to die.

Fifty-five acres of land, that's fifty-five acres of land, all the property of the family.

Among them, 30 acres of Zhongtian were occupied by Mei Tongsheng when he separated from his brothers.

At that time, the entire industry of the Mei family was 40 acres of land, 30 acres of middle field, 10 acres of lower field, and the two brothers divided equally as a family of 15 acres of middle field and 5 acres of lower field. Mei Tongsheng used the excuse that his younger brother got a gift of 20 acres of middle field, and only divided 10 acres of land to his younger brother.

The other 25 acres of land are the second room of the Mei family, of which 10 acres of the field are the 10 acres when the family was divided, and the other 15 acres are given to the second grandfather of Mei by others.

Although under Gui Wu's backer, Mei and Mei Duo's aunt and nephew are going to leave fifteen acres of Zhongtian, but for Mei Tongsheng, after all, he has twenty-five acres of land left, and he is secretly proud in his heart.

How to distribute these 55 acres of land to her children and grandchildren, Mei Tongsheng has a plan.

The thirty acres of land in his own house were passed on to Mei Xiucai; The twenty-five acres of land in the second room were passed on to the eldest grandson Mei Sheng.

Now, it's all in vain.

Mei Tongsheng's eyes were empty, and his soul was gone.

Mei Xiucai was nervous, sat on the side of the kang, and said, "Dad, don't worry, my son will find a way to redeem the land back." ”

It's just a fool's words, Mei Xiucai also understands in his heart that since Gui Wu bought the land at a high price, he will not sell it back.

Mei Tongsheng's heart was like a knife, and he didn't pay attention to what his son was muttering beside him.

The door outside "banged" and sounded, adding to the confusion.

Mei Xiucai frowned at first, and then only felt frightened. It can't be that Boss Bai sent someone to collect debts, right? Is the debt a month, but how many days?

"Who? What kind of door is smashed, urging death? Du Shi was boiling medicine for Mei Tongsheng in the kitchen, and when he heard the movement, he rubbed the fire in his heart, and came out and shouted loudly.

As soon as she finished shouting, she was shocked: "Huh? Father...... How did you get here? ”

Du Lizheng didn't wait for anyone to open the door, and directly asked someone to push the door open, without looking at Du Shi, his fat body was more imposing, and he took a few healthy servants and strode directly to the upper room.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, Du Shi couldn't help but feel suspenseful, swallowed a mouthful of spit, and hurriedly followed behind.

Mei Xiucai had already heard the movement outside, and came out to greet her, wondering how Han Duri was coming over for dinner.

When he saw Du Li coming over with a bunch of people, Mei Xiucai was even more shocked, and stepped forward and said, "Father-in-law, you are ...... this"

Du Li Zheng said without a smile: "What about the in-laws? I'm looking for my relatives to talk! ”

Mei Xiucai saw that this battle was wrong, so she didn't dare to stop her, and let Du Li go to the back room: "My father is a little uncomfortable and is lying in the back room." ”

Seeing that Mei Xiucai was not at all guilty, Du Lizheng's anger was also extinguished a little, and he waved his hand and ordered his entourage to wait outside, and he followed Mei Xiucai into the inner room.

Mei Tongsheng still feels sorry for the fifty-five acres of land, and still regrets not falling.

Why don't you keep the title deed and trust the second child like that? Even if only half of the second child is guarded against, and the 25 acres of land deeds fall directly under the name of the eldest grandson, it will not be "a big bamboo basket".

Du Li was seeing Mei Tongsheng half-lying on the kang, and he didn't look at people when he saw it, he was rude, his anger rose again, and he snorted coldly: "My in-laws are such a big shelf!" ”

Mei Tongsheng was awakened by this sentence from hysterical thoughts, turned his head to look, and saw Du Li was tense with a big fat face.

"How dare you come!?" Mei Tongsheng's eyes breathed fire, and his body was neat and did not look like an old man who knew the destiny of heaven, he turned over directly from the kang and went to the ground, he didn't even care about wearing shoes, and pulled Du Lizheng's neckline: "What kind of heart do you have?" I can't look down on our Mei family, so I took your second sister back, why did she do such a scourge to Qingbai? What's wrong with him, you just scold, just beat, why do you ask Zhang Fu to hook him to gamble? That's a gamble, how can you get it? Our Lao Mei family dug up your Du family's ancestral grave? You're trying to kill us! ”

At first, he roared and shouted, but in the end, he was full of tears.

With these words, everyone else in the room changed their faces, and Du Lizheng was no exception.

Mei Xiucai felt embarrassed, because she was annoyed that her father was talking about this in front of her father-in-law and wife, and she didn't save her face at all, but she finally realized that something was wrong.

Mei Xiucai has always been a little clever and calculating, not a dull person, but he was increasingly addicted to gambling before, and he knew his own weight, so he really had nothing to calculate, so he didn't suspect Zhang Fu. Now listening to my old man's words, I remember that in May, I had several times when I had contact with casinos and gambling games, all of which were by my side.

Mei Xiucai put away the previous embarrassment, looked at Du Lizheng's gaze with doubts.

Du Shi stood behind Du Li, only to feel that his eyes were black, and he held on to the door frame so that he did not fall. What's this called? What does it mean to instruct Zhang Fu to hook him to gamble?

The abnormality of her husband in the past few months, as a pillow person, Du Shi, where can she not notice it at all, but every time she deceives herself, thinking that most of them are giving birth to some kind of flowers, but she has a pair of children, and she is not afraid of him making trouble with her mother's backer, so she never thought of gambling.

Du Li was pulling down Mei Tongsheng's hand, and he also understood the cause and effect, so he ignored Mei Tongsheng and asked Mei Xiucai directly: "Zhang Fu took you to gamble?" Since when? How much does it cost? Who cares who carries the money? How much money was borrowed? ”

If Zhang Fu was in front of him, Mei Xiu would be able to eat him raw.

So far, Mei Xiucai doesn't understand that she has been calculated.

He was also holding back the fire in his heart, Zhang Fu was a descendant of the Du family, and the loss of his own family should be counted on the Du family, so Mei Xiucai originally planned to say a few hundred more, so as to make up for the loss on the Du family.

A few hundred taels of silver is all the money for the Mei family, but it is nothing to the Du family. The Du family has 800 acres of land, and the harvest of Zhuangzi is 3 or 400 taels a year; No, it was 1,800 acres, and the harvest of Zhuangzi that year was a few hundred taels.

However, when facing Du Lizheng's cold eyes, Mei Xiucai immediately coaxed, and said honestly: "Yes, it started at the end of May, and I lost more than 800 taels in total, and I borrowed 100 taels from Bai Boss!" ”

"More than eight hundred taels?" Duri was hearing that something was wrong: "Where did the money come from except the two hundred taels you took from me?" Speaking of this, his eyes widened: "You sold the land?" ”

Mei Xiu nodded after a while.

"Sold to the Gui family!" Dury is affirming.

"Hmm!" Mei Xiucai nodded again.

"Okay, it's the Gui family, it's the Gui family! It's really kicking your nose in the face, and you're getting more and more greedy every time. I know, they must have colluded with Zhang Fu just to let you sell the land! Mei Xiucai said indignantly, and immediately went to the Gui family to settle accounts.

Mei Xiucai grabbed it, and instead of pushing it on the Gui family in a daze, she came to her senses, took out the two hundred taels of silver ingots from her arms, and said, "It's not the Gui family, there is someone else who instructed Zhang Fu to set up a bureau!" ”

My father-in-law's family has 1,800 acres of land, which is just a field property, not to mention the cloth village in Xiji Town. What does this mean? It shows that the father-in-law is deeply hidden, and he is not an ordinary rich man, but a huge rich.

The one who came out with two hundred taels of silver must have been thinking about the Du family's land and had bad intentions towards the Du family. What they think is beautiful, the Du family's industry is really cheap for outsiders, and their own son-in-law is waiting, why should it be the turn of others?

At this time, Mei Xiucai was very clear, and was not tempted by the two hundred taels of silver at all, and said that he was abnormal with a gambler before and after losing all of his money today.

Du Lizheng's expression had regained his calmness, but he understood in his heart that the other party Bacheng was the one who bought Zhang Fu. The other party is obviously coming at himself and wants to check his own details?

Du Li was squinting, knowing that this was not the Zhao family who had asked the Du family to take refuge before. The Zhao family thinks too highly of themselves, and they don't have the Du family in their eyes at all, and they don't think about checking his details.

His grandmother's, this is not a natal year, and he started to memorize the words. Duri couldn't help but curse in his heart.

After Mei Xiucai finished saying this, she immediately said: "Father-in-law, Zhang Fu's old boy is really wrong, he will quickly ask someone to arrest him, he should know the details of that person." ”

"Zhang Fu betrayed the master, took his wife and children and ran away, after the in-laws went to find someone in the morning." Duri is right.

Mei Tong listened to it angrily for a long time, and he understood it, and pointed to Du Li Zhengdao: "It's not your mastermind, it's also your involvement, you can't count it in vain, what should I do with the fifty-five lands, you have to give a charter!" ”

Du Li Zheng didn't speak, but glanced at the silver in Mei Xiucai's hand, and looked at Mei Xiucai as if he was smiling.

Mei Xiucai's heart trembled, and she felt hot when she held the silver ingot, so she hung it on the ground. The other party is coming for Duri, and he accepted the other party's silver, which is not the evidence of "surrender".

Mei Xiucai was sneering, and was pondering the rhetoric to defend herself, Du Li Zheng had already said: "How much silver did the land sell?" ”

"Four hundred and forty-five taels!" Mei Xiucai replied, looking at Du Lizheng with more anticipation in his eyes.

My father-in-law has always been wealthy, this time he gave himself a few hundred taels of silver, and it was not right for him to go to the Gui family to redeem it and buy it back?

Du Lizheng did not answer, but got up and left.

Mei Xiucai was stunned and hurriedly chased after her.

*

The old house of the Gui family, the hall house.

Seeing the healthy servants of the Du family, Gui Chongyang added to his heart. He was born and grew up in Jinling, so he naturally had a little more knowledge than the people in the village.

In the eyes of the villagers, those men are the descendants of the Du family, and they can't be said to be strong men among the tenants who are fighting for power; But Gui Chongyang saw that they were not ordinary people, and they had their own charters in their actions.

I haven't heard of these people in the Du family before, so for the sake of yesterday's autumn tax, Du Li Zheng showed his hole cards?

Will it find out Gui Wu?
