The matter of the Gui family's tenant land, many families in the village watched and watched.

Everyone has a rod and scale in their hearts, not to mention the fault of the Gui family in the past, and it is indeed the people in the village who are not kind to the Gui family after that.

If you want to say that because of that Ding disaster, the Gui family is sorry for the Yang, Mei, and Li families, and there are three or five families who are sorry for the Gui family.

Some families owe the Gui family five taels of silver, and deliberately make the Gui family unpopular, so as to take the opportunity to pay off their debts; Some people, like Mrs. Li, have received the favor of the Gui family, for fear that the Gui family will be poor and entangle themselves, so they take the initiative to draw a line with the Gui family.

Now that the Gui family is up again, will they hold grudges? Will there be retaliation? No one knows the bottom of their hearts.

After two days of waiting, the matter of the Gui family's tenants was settled.

600 acres of land, more than a dozen tenants, two resigned, and the rest of the families succeeded the contract, and the villagers breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when they knew who those two families were, they were confused again, did the Gui family hold grudges or not?

The Chai family, who had a disagreement with the Gui family because of the "summer tax", was resigned, and the third son of the old lady of "Donggui" was also resigned. The two families that made up for it are not others, one is the second child of the Zhang family, and the other is the Mei Jinzhu family.

If it is someone else's family who has been dismissed, it is impossible to say that they can still cry and complain everywhere, and connect other tenants to ask for a favor, etc., but these two families are the most stammered with Du Lizheng, and they are the dogs of the Du family for many years, but if there is anything that can oppress the tenants, they must take the lead, as if they are not tenants, but landlords; A person from "Donggui" has always relied on his brothers and nephews, fighting for land and water every year, which is the most annoying.

These two families were dismissed, and the other tenants were both applauding and nervous.

These two companies really have grievances with "Xigui".

Not to mention the Chai family, it didn't take long for the "summer tax" thing to happen; "Donggui" Gui Laosan, after Gui Lizheng was gone, he was the one who took the lead in squeezing out and bullying the old and young women and children of "Xigui".

As for the newly acquired Zhang family and the Yang family, it is not shit luck, it can only be said that good people have good rewards.

But then, everyone didn't continue to gloat or watch the fire from the other side, because the Gui family's land had not been completed, and they still held dozens of acres in their hands.

It's not that Gui Chun has to keep dozens of acres of land to plant by himself, but the Yang family took over the sale of Baiwei bean skin, as well as the two small recipes, and the father and son discussed it, and only opened ten acres of land, and they didn't have enough energy.

Zhang Er is not greedy here, and he only has 20 acres.

But the Gui family recovered eighty acres of land from the Chai family and the Gui Lao family, leaving fifty acres of land.

As for the fifty acres of land that the second room of the Gui family bought from Mei Xiucai before, it was still tenant of the Mei clan, but there was no change.

There is also the nineteen acres of Zhongtian in Gui Changfang, which was previously given to Gui Chun for planting, because Gui Chun wanted to be the prime minister in the future, and Gui Chongyang persuaded him to rent it out.

There are more villagers who wander to Gui Er's house.

Autumn is crisp, and it's a new day.

In the old house of the Gui family, breakfast was laid out.

Classes are about to start in the village school, and Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba get up early to go to class again.

The ones I ate early were red date steamed buns, brown sugar peanut filling, and the sweet ones were not good.

Gui Chongyang has always eaten eight points full, and he put it down after eating one and a half; Mei Xiaoba was there, but she couldn't care about it, she ate three in a row, and she had to go to the fourth.

Mei Shi stopped him and said, "I also bring this at noon, I like to eat it at noon." ”

Mei Xiaoba said "hehe" twice, touched her stomach, and said, "My aunt's cooking is so delicious, I have eaten fat." ”

Mei is eighty years younger, and it is the time to smoke a strip to grow her body, and she was not frozen and hungry when she was in the Mei family before, but in the end, it is not as good as the Gui family's eating and drinking in the past two months. He was already taller than children of the same age, but now he has pulled out more than an inch, and he looks slightly taller than Gui Chongyang.

Mei smiled: "Where is the fat?" It was thin before, but now it's just right. Speaking of this, he saw Gui Chongyang next to him and said, "Chongyang will eat more in the future, but don't let your cousin rush over." ”

Gui Chongyang snorted lightly: "What's the use of only having a head and not a heart?" If you're tall, you're a big fool! ”

Mei Xiaoba was originally proud of how tall she was, but when she heard the words, she lowered her head and wilted.

Gui Chongyang said this, not without a target, they all said that "the poor in the downtown no one asks, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains", the Gui family is "developed", and other people will naturally come up.

Among them, including Mei Xiaoba's stepmother Qiu.

Mei Xiaoba can't sit still at home, and it's well known that the village school has been on holiday these days.

Yesterday, Mei Xiaoba's stepmother wrapped a few steamed cakes with a handkerchief and blocked Mei Xiaoba by the river.

Mei Shi's ear did not ask Mei Xiaoba to go into the water, Mei Xiaoba was also obedient, not yin and yang disobedient, but in the end he couldn't be idle, he set up a fishing rod by the river to fish, thinking that if he caught a fish, the big one could be sacrificed, and the small one could be given to the Lantern Festival uncle, all of which were excellent.

Seeing her stepmother, Mei Xiaoba was no longer moved before, and only called her "aunt" and greeted her honestly.

Qiu's family was wearing loose clothes, and she was already pregnant, still the "loving mother" of the old days, but she not only blindly coaxed Mei Xiaoba with good words, but only talked about the difficulties of the family and Mei Aoki's concern for her eldest son.

Mei Xiaoba is not a stone, and she is naturally moved when she listens to it.

Qiu's spent a long time salivaing, naturally came with a purpose, but he was greedy, first mention the land of the Mei family's second room, in the early years, it was forty acres, Mei's aunt and nephew divided fifteen acres, and the other twenty-five acres were transferred to the second room of the Gui family.

But these forty acres of land should have been passed on to Mei Xiaoba, the second heir of the Mei family.

It was difficult to mention this before, because the Gui family had no land, and it was difficult to guarantee that they were counting on these lands in the second room of the Mei family; Now that the Gui family has land, should they also think about Mei Xiaoba?

Such clever words, avoiding the important and light, moving flowers and trees, and being a confused child, I can't say that I have to think crookedly, if I really think that the forty acres of land are my own, if I make a fuss.

Mei Xiaoba is really real, but she is not a fool.

In fact, he was careful when his stepmother appeared, but he had some hopes, so he honestly listened to her chatter.

When she heard the end, Mei Xiaoba was really sad.

Qiu's is a woman's mind, thinking that if it happens, Mei Xiaoba really has forty acres of land, and she can't say that she can collect it all in the name of "tenant land"; But I don't want to think about it, coaxing Mei Xiaoba to make trouble like this, if the Gui family doesn't allow Mei Xiaoba, what will Mei Xiaoba do in the future?

Mei Xiaoba naturally couldn't think of this, and she was sad only because the Qiu family threw away her gentle appearance in the past, and her words were provocative and mean, especially if she didn't know that she was indeed not a loving mother.

When he arrived at the Gui family, he was not in good spirits, and Gui Chongyang had to ask a question or two.

Mei Xiaoba has always believed her cousin, and she said it all, and also mentioned the reason why she was sad: "Others say that she is bad-hearted, but I still hope that she is good." ”

can say bad things about the Gui family's room, that is, it is really bad, this is Mei Xiaoba's simple cognition.

Gui Chongyang was really annoyed.

In addition to being greedy, delusional, and vicious.

Didn't she know that she was using strong words?

Mei Xiaoba's relatives are here, and there are also people on the side of the heirs, so they shouldn't have been raised by the Gui family.

It is the forty acres of land under the name of the second room of the Gui family, and it was also said before the succession, and it is not involved in industry. Mei Xiaoba is the heir grandson, inheriting the incense of Mei Qingzhu, and does not inherit the property of the Mei family's second room.

The Gui family is still raising Mei Xiaoba for the sake of Mei's face, do they want to post another forty acres of land to Mei Xiaoba? Even if you go to court and say it, there is no such reason.

The Qiu clan instigated and agitated this time, did he really have that glimmer of hope? Or do you know that there is no hope, and you deliberately want to take Crooked Mei Xiaoba?

The Gui family is up, and Mei Xiaoba, who grew up in the Gui family, will also rise in the future, and live by herself with the help of the Gui family; But what if the Gui family is disgusted with Mei Xiaoba?

It's not that Gui Chongyang loves to think of people as insidious, but Qiu's little calculation is not difficult to scrutinize.

Mei Xiao is eighty years old, and he is not an ignorant child, so Gui Chongyang did not hide it from him, nor did he exaggerate, but only told Mei Xiaoba the possible ultimate purpose of Qiu's doing.

Mei Xiaoba was like being struck by lightning, but she couldn't say anything to deny it, but she didn't touch the bag of steamed cakes she brought back.

Village school, small class.

Du Qi sat in the last row, looking at the empty seat next to him, with a gloomy expression.

Before the Du family sold the land, he thought about it day and night and looked forward to coming to the village school, seeing his little friends again, and even complained in his heart that his father and mother were not kind; After the Du family sold the land, Du Qi's mind changed, in fact, he wanted to go to the county more, wanted to study hard, and took the county exam as soon as possible.

If the Du family is the same as the Mei family, one family and two talents, and a county order slave dares to show off his power and come to the door to persecute him? Even the county magistrate must also care about Shilin's reputation and dare not act in vain.

It's just that everything before was caused by Du Qi's study in the county, and he also knew in his heart that if he wanted to go to the county test, his father and mother would bow to the county order, and he was unwilling to persecute his father.

The little ones came early, they all chattered and played, and occasionally looked at the last row with weirdness.

Children are still young and are most influenced by their parents. Before, the villagers were afraid of the Du family, and the children looked at Du Qi with a little fear; Now that Du Li is selling land, the villagers are laughing at the Du family's good life and the like, and the children look at Du Qi with ridicule.

Du Qi held a copy of "Thousand Words" and didn't realize it.

It's almost the end of the month, and there are monthly exams every month, and students who have passed the exams can be promoted to the large class next door and officially study the scriptures.

When Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba came in, they saw Du Qi like this.

Du Qi raised his head, glanced at the two people who came in, and his eyes fell on the books again.

Mei Xiaobarao was heartless, and she also saw that Du Qi's expression was cold, and she swallowed back the title in her mouth, and looked at Gui Chongyang suspiciously. He wondered why he hadn't seen him for a few days, this Du Qi was like a different person.

Gui Chongyang knew in his heart that Du Qi had a dislike in his heart, but he didn't take it to heart.

People are close and far relatives, just as he said to Li Jiang yesterday, "The Gui and Li families are not a good relationship", this sentence actually applies to him and Du Qi.

Since this is Du Qi's choice, so be it. It's better than Du Qi listening to his father and mother's words and taking the initiative to get closer.
