When they entered Layue, with the Gui family's "withdrawal", Mei Qingshu and his wife, who had detained Xunyue, came back.

The two of them looked as if they were more than ten years old, Mei Qingshu couldn't straighten her waist and had a cough, and Feng no longer had the spicy and clever nature of Su Ri, and her gray hair was like an old woman.

Where is the prison of Layue in the cold winter?

The Gui family withdrew the case of "theft" and "beating", but because Mei Ping sued the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law for "disobedience", in the end, after a court, the crime of "unfilial piety" of the husband and wife was finalized.

Now, although the husband and wife have been temporarily released, they can be sentenced to "five years of hard labor", and they will be released from labor service after the year and go to the imperial tomb to serve.

Du Li was calculating Gui Chongyang's unsuccessful things before, but he "cheapened" Mei Qingshu and his wife.

The Mei family wanted to "compensate" the Gui family's land, but the Gui family did not accept it, but the Mei family did not keep it, because in addition to this labor, the Yamen also had a fine of 100 taels of silver, and the Mei family's savings were exhausted, so they could only sell the land.

Mei Qingmu, who had been hiding, finally showed up, but in the end, as the Qiu family calculated, he did not have a penny in the lawsuit of his brother and sister-in-law, but his reputation was stinky.

Before, because of the "step-by-step" of the original eldest son, the people in the village only said that Mei Qingmu was honest and was governed by his stepwife.

However, "the male protagonist is outside, the female protagonist is inside", and there are also men who are careless and can't take care of things in the house, which does not mean that Mei Qingmu's character is flawed. But this time, my brother and sister-in-law were detained, and my brother came to beg him, but he still didn't go out, and he passed.

"Father is son", it is not a sin for Mei Qingmu to neglect Mei Xiaoba, but it is unfilial to treat the old father so slowly.

Even if the Mei brothers have separated, but in the end they are siblings, when Mei Qingshu and his wife suffered a catastrophe, Mei Qingmu, who was a brother, took responsibility, honored his parents, and took care of his two nephews who were not yet young, which is what he should do for a son, a brother, and an uncle, instead of directly being a turtle with a shrunken head and not going out.

Now Mei Aoki still looks like an honest man and comes to visit his eldest brother.

Mei Wu and Mei Qi brothers glared angrily, eager to kill people immediately, but they were scolded by Mei Qingshu.

Mei Qingmu looked at his brother's decaying appearance, and was shocked, how unbearable was it, and his mouth was concerned, but the two brothers were still close, as if they were not born.

Mei Ping saw it in his eyes, but his heart ached.

Five years of hard labor, and it is an errand for the imperial tomb, and no one can guarantee whether they will be able to come back. The eldest son has no way, if the eldest son really goes and has no return, this family can't really fall on the second child.

The disaster of the Mei family is due to the Feng family's immorality, but in the final analysis, the Qiu family is not innocent. There is also Xiaoba, who is also reincarnated as a ghost, and was born to collect debts.

But in the final analysis, it is because of the bad heart of the family. If he didn't want to cover up the peace when Qiu's was slow to treat Xiaoba, but dealt with it impartially, he wouldn't let Qiu's gain an inch and force Xiaoba to succeed; If Xiao Ba succeeds him, he can control the greed of his children and grandchildren and prevent them from reaching out to the Gui family, and he will not cause this disaster.

After dealing with the Gui family twice, the old man was already trembling, and he didn't dare to anger the Gui family anymore, so he could only blame himself with remorse.

The second son's affection, how can the old man not hate? But it was the same as Mei Qingshu's concerns, so he didn't dare to show it, so he could only avoid going back to the house.

Mei Qingmu came uneasy, thinking that he would be scolded by his father and brother, but he didn't expect it to be peaceful, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the guilt and anxiety of not showing up and borrowing money before was also dispersed.

It's not all good, even if it's five years of hard labor, it's just work, where is the farmer's house?

It's still Qiu's, conceited and exquisite, thinking about it for a while, and understanding Changfang's concerns, but he calculated.

This woman has long been thinking about the nephews of Mei Wu and Mei Qi.

Although the Mei Wu and Mei Qi brothers are not yet married, they are also in their teens, and they are two full-time laborers, and it is the time to call. The two of them in the long house are not there, isn't it legitimate to call their uncles and aunts?

As soon as he heard that Changfang was going to sell the land, the Qiu family couldn't sit still, and directly took out the savings, but it was a full eighty taels, which shocked Mei Qingmu speechless.

"W-Why are you so old?" It took a long time for Mei Aoki to point to the silver and say.

Qiu Shi said with a little pride: "Praise, how can the slave spend more money than ten years without a penny?" It's hard work to be in charge. ”

In addition to farming, Mei Qingmu can also weave willow, and his subordinates have no idle time. Qiu's is not lazy, the female celebrity is ordinary, but it is a perennial job to pick up some handkerchiefs and ropes from the county's needlework shop.

After more than ten years, I saved a penny and a penny, but I saved seventy taels of silver. Later, with the help of the needlework lady, I put a few times of silver, and I saved money faster, and my efforts doubled in a few years.

In addition to the eighty taels of silver in front of him, there are also sixty taels of silver that are placed outside to eat interest. That's the reading money for my son, and I can't touch it.

"I'm afraid that the old man is waiting to take advantage of it, so why can't they go cheaply." Qiu handed over the silver to her husband and said, "You make it clear to your father-in-law that although it is a bit bad to buy land with this silver, if you give us the land, we will raise our two nephews in the future." ”

Mei Qingmu's eyes widened and said, "But, with these eighty taels of silver, it will be enough for one hundred taels if you make up another one, so Dad doesn't have to buy land?" ”

When the Qiu clan heard this, he took back the silver, frowned, and said: "You can't go over directly, in case your father-in-law cheats and directly 'borrows' the silver, wouldn't it be fatal?" Wait, let's see what my father-in-law means, this family can't leak out, and others in the province are worried! ”

Mei Qingmu thought about her brother and sister-in-law's embarrassment, and her conscience was uneasy, and she said: "Uncle won't watch there, and Brother Sheng won't stretch out his hand, or we will help make it together, and my father won't have to sell his land." ”

Qiu's family immediately said angrily: "If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, where is this unhelpful?" In addition to fines, do you want to make points? Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi are also older, and they have to say kiss when they are inspected, and their parents are not there, can you help your uncle? What's the head? Let's say that if we want to send our son to study, we will have a place where we can use money in the future, and when our son has a reputation, can we still help the two cousins? Looking at Mei Sheng's current dignity, the whole family is looking forward to it. ”

If the long house doesn't sell the land, what else will happen to their family?

Even if you can't buy land, you can't let the long house pass this level, otherwise you will offend the long house, and the two families will not get along with each other in the future, and only their own family will suffer.

Only when the long house has no way out, and he is attached to his own family, can his son get two good helps, and he can study with peace of mind in the future, and he doesn't have to worry about the work in the fields anymore.

Mei Qingmu was clumsy and straight-hearted, and was persuaded by his daughter-in-law, although he was a little uneasy in his heart, it was nothing compared to his son's future future.

Not to mention the Qiu family's "eyeing the eldest uncle's family", only to say that the people in the village have their own thoughts about the Mei family.

Although it seems that the fate of Mei Qingshu and his wife has nothing to do with the Gui family, it was Mei Ping who sued his parents, but everyone knows how the Mei family got to this point, and it is not that they offended the Gui family.

Nowadays, no one dares to openly mention that the Gui family is not, and no one dares to think about the Gui family as fat.

However, the Mei family, the people who have "left their sentences" are not angry in the end, and they have to hold back their anger, and they have more and more hope for Mei Sheng.

The New Year is approaching, but this year's Mujia Village is not peaceful.

The Du family no longer has the domineering of previous years, and Du Zhong was directly taken away from the position of Lizheng by the county commander because of "deeducation", but it did not fall to the Mei family. However, this is also expected by the people in the village, after all, Gui Chongyang's uncle and nephew have an old relationship with the county master, and it is not a secret to enter and leave the county office. After being pressed for more than ten years, "Xigui" is about to turn over.

Unexpectedly, the new Li Zheng of Mujia Village did not fall to the Gui family.

In fact, Zhang Liang did have the intention to let Li Zheng's position fall to Gui Chongyang's uncle and grandfather Gui Er, but he was politely rejected by Gui Chongyang's uncle and nephew.

A village is positive, there are many trivial matters, the upper has to deal with the officials and small officials, and the lower has to worry about the livelihood of the families in the village, Gui Er's grandfather has a quiet temperament, and he doesn't like to take care of things, and the village is just sitting on it, most of them are "sons pass on their fathers", the second generation of the Gui family only Gui Wuyi people, and there is no idea of returning to the village to settle down, and the rest of Gui Chun's temperament is passed down from Gui Erye to Gui Erye, Gui Qiu and Gui Chongyang have their own responsibilities, and no one follows Gui Erye to run errands and miscellaneous.

Tensor replaced Du Zhong, also in order to "draw salary from the bottom of the kettle", and the province has another "summer tax" thing, so he naturally hopes that Xinli is a good friend of the Gui family.

The uncle and nephew of the Gui family also received Zhang Liang's kindness, "the virtuous do not avoid relatives", and directly recommended his in-law Yang Jinzhu.

Yang Jinzhu is the uncle of Gui Chun and Gui Qiu, and the in-law who still takes care of the Gui family after the Gui family suffered, and is a Chinese with the surnames Gui, Mei, Yang, and Li.

Although some people behind his back scolded Yang Jinzhu for being a big fool of Yang, he didn't divide the Gui family like the Mei and Li families, and in turn took care of his nephew to make his family poor, isn't he a fool?

But there are rods and scales in people's hearts, and no one can say that Yang Jinzhu has a bad character. And the three sons under Yang Jinzhu's name are all of similar character, and they are all loyal and filial sons.

When the yamen came and held a village meeting to explain the changes in Mujia Village, everyone was shocked.

If the Gui family gets the position of Xinlizheng, it is reasonable, how can the Yang family get it? And he is not the village elder with the highest prestige among the Yang clan, but Yang Da Fool?

What do you mean by "pie in the sky"? For Yang Jinzhu, the right position here is a pie falling from the sky, and Yang Jinzhu is shocked like a dream. If it weren't for the elder Yang Village, he wouldn't have been able to hand it over. and Gui Er's grandfather and Gui Chun, because they got the news early, took the lead in congratulating Yang Jinzhu, and also expressed their attitude to everyone, "Xigui" is standing behind the Yang family.

The people of the Yang clan are an unexpected joy.

Everyone knows that Du Li Zheng has been unlucky in the past six months, and Li Zheng's position is unstable, but there is still a Mei family who "cultivates and reads heirlooms" in front of him, and there is a rich and powerful Gui family, no one thought that the right position here would be next to it.

Du Zhong is very self-contained, he is still happy like Maitreya, and he talks about some errands with Yang Jinzhu and Yang Cunlao; Everyone in the Mei family looked at Mei An, who was sitting, and they were all uneasy.

The Mei family was involved in a lawsuit and lost their position in Lizheng, in case Mei Sheng's imperial examination was not accepted, it would be downhill.

It was the Mei family who was uneasy, but it was the "Donggui" people who were angry in their eyes, especially the old lady, who turned their backs on them directly. The right position here is inherited by the Gui family, "Xigui" was lost back then, and now it is recaptured, even if it is not appropriate, it should not be given to outsiders.

As for the Li clan, only envy the Yang family, what is an in-law?

Yearn for helping each other and supporting each other, this is the in-laws, the Gui family is up, and the Yang family is also going to get up, which can be regarded as "good people have good rewards", but Li Zhaocai's room is also the in-laws of the Gui family.
