Chapter 209: Yin and Yang

Although the iron catcher is a martial artist, he is an old official of the Yamen in the end.

The county order took over the Mei family's "disobedience", and it was impossible to say that the lawsuit between the Gui and Mei families would be over.

If Gui Chongyang is a Chengding, or there are many clansmen, there is naturally no need to scruple about anything.

Gui Chongyang is young, and there are not many relatives in the near branches. The formal start of the lawsuit can certainly teach the Mei family a lesson, but it will do more harm than good to Gui Chongyang.

In the future, Gui Chongyang will not be able to return to the office, and it is not a bad thing to have a strong reputation; But if it is out, it will be easy to be criticized.

After all, it is the Mei family, and the Gui family still has a vague Mei family, even if the Gui family is an "adopted daughter" on the household register, but after all, there was a marriage contract with Gui Yuan, and the Gui family entered in the name of Gui Yuan's "wife", and gave filial piety to the second elder of the Gui family.

Gui Chongyang has a father and a mother in his household registration, and there is a marriage certificate from his parents, which should be the identity of a son-in-law, but Gui Yuan is "marrying without telling him" and is suspected of "stopping his wife and remarrying".

Zhang Liang was born in a wealthy family, and what he wanted to do when he took over the Gui family's situation was to help Gui Chongyang get angry, but he didn't think about it at all, but Master Zheng reminded him that he understood the inappropriateness of this lawsuit.

Before, Gui Wu rushed to sign the complaint, but he didn't want to involve Gui Chongyang.

This is until the court is interrogated and the case is officially decided, and there is no room for retorts in the future. Even if Mei Ping doesn't come to the case, Zhang Liang is still thinking about finding another reason to clean up Mei Qingshu and his wife, and Gui Chongyang still can't be the plaintiff in this case.

Tensor did not say it explicitly in front of the iron catcher, but he also pointed out that "it is necessary to check the evidence".

Now there is more than one person in the Mei family who is "disobedient and unfilial", which can be regarded as "circumstantial evidence" of the unfilial piety of the descendants of the Mei family.

"It's just a quarrel at home!" Mei An was anxious and wanted to stop her.

Because he is the patriarch, Tie Zhutou was not happy to talk about the affairs of Mei Ping's family before, and this matter was not polite, he pulled out half of the saber with a "bang", and snorted coldly at Mei An.

Mei An was startled and almost fell down in fright, but fortunately her son Mei Qinglin helped her.

Even the talkative villagers just now couldn't help but regret it.

This is not the small talk of "the east family, the west family" on weekdays, and these are not the villagers who are annoyed and do not hold grudges. Everyone doesn't like the Mei family to be tall and stingy, fooling students in the school, but there is no hatred between life and death, right?

Tie Zhutou and his entourage went to Mei Tongsheng's house by themselves.

Although the villagers all turned off their voices, they couldn't help but be curious, and stayed behind to watch the excitement.

Mei Tongsheng's house, Mei Tongsheng felt refreshed, but Xiao Li's face was uneasy, and he was also happy in his heart.

A few days after entering the door, Du not only did not respect Xiao Li as his stepmother, but also kept supporting him, obviously treating him as an old mother, Xiao Li was not a fool, and he couldn't see her contempt.

When he first arrived, Xiao Li did not face Du Shi head-on, but only when Mei Tongsheng was there, he wiped his tears, otherwise there would not be this morning.

"Children are debts! I just hate that I didn't come down early, otherwise I wouldn't have lost all my property! Mei Tongsheng mentioned the dozens of acres of land that his son lost, and he still felt a pain in his heart.

On the contrary, Xiao Li's family can think about it, she can't touch the land at home, and now Mei Tongsheng has an income in the village school, and this house is also ready-made, and Mei Tongsheng can't teach students, and Mei Sheng will support the elderly.

Even if Mei Sheng can't pass the exam in the future, it will be a talented man, and when he comes back to take over the village school, or goes to the city to sit in the museum, it is much better than ordinary farmers. Not to mention that Mei Sheng has 80 acres of land under his name that is tax-free, even if he has no land at home, and other people's land is named, he can share some money and grain in a year.

Xiao Li was satisfied, and treated Mei Tongsheng more and more docilely, and saw Mei Tong's business move.

If it weren't for his lack of energy, Mei Tongsheng couldn't wait to pull Xiao Li's kang up immediately, that's it, his subordinates were not idle, he pulled Xiao Li to sit on his lap, groping and fumbling for a restless life.

Xiao Li's face was crimson, although he had married someone first, he was still young and tender, and he didn't dare to move.

Mei Tongsheng saw it in his eyes, he only thought it was interesting, and just wanted to flirt with a few words, he heard the door "bang" and thought.

Xiao Li was so shocked that he hurriedly jumped off Mei Tongsheng's lap.

"What is the unvirtuous woman tossing about?" Mei Tongsheng pulled down his face and snorted coldly.

After getting that one out in the morning, Du had no choice but to take a pair of children to the old house next door, but where can he treat people over there?

If Du Shi was alone, he would be able to get angry and wait for his husband to come back to make the decision, but he still has two children, so he has to wait for the lively people to disperse, and he pulls his children to knock on the door and beg, begging to take shelter from the cold in this side of the house first, and wait for the house to burn before going over.

But in Mei Tongsheng's eyes, he was only a tricky Du family, and he didn't give up on this side of the house, so he naturally scolded him through the door, and didn't open the door at all.

Now that the door of this courtyard is ringing again, Mei Tongsheng still thinks that it is Du Shi who is coming again, so he is so impatient.

Mei Tongsheng wanted to ignore it, but there was no Ansheng at the door of the courtyard, and the knocking on the door became louder and louder, which made people tremble.

Xiao Li looked at Mei Tongsheng with a little trembling. With Mei Tongsheng here, she naturally doesn't have to be afraid of Du Shi, but there is a Du Li Zheng behind Du Shi, is this Du Li Zheng bringing people here?

Even Mei Tongsheng is also a little weak-hearted.

Naduri is looking like Maitreya Buddha, smiling one day, but not a soft persimmon. If he helps the Du family fight for the house, it is really hard to say who belongs to this courtyard.

Just as Mei Tongsheng was grinding out of the house, the courtyard door was kicked open all of a sudden, and several officials entered the courtyard with impatience on their faces.

Mei Tongsheng was not a bold person, but when he saw this, he immediately stopped, and suddenly thought of Mei Xiucai. It can't be that the gambling debts are too big and go to the government, right?

Mei Tongsheng only felt cold hands and feet.

Tie Zhutou said with a straight face: "You are Mei Congshan?" ”

"It's just a little ...... Xiaomin ......," Mei Tongsheng said with chatter teeth.

"But your unfilial woman disobeys her elders?" Tie Zhutou felt that this name was familiar just now, but now he remembered that this was no one else in front of him, it was the old boy who had a vendetta with the Gui family.

Zhang Liang wanted to protect Gui Chongyang for a peaceful birthday, but when he met someone who dared to bully people, he ordered someone to inquire about all the people in Mujia Village, otherwise Tie Zhutou would not know that this old boy had a vendetta with the Gui family.

Although Tie Zhutou is familiar with Gui Wu and knows the general situation of his family, he doesn't know that his sister was divorced more than ten years ago.

There are really no good things in this Mei family!

The iron catcher had prejudice in his heart, and his face brought out a little bit of unkindness.

Mei Tongsheng was already small, but he didn't dare to refute it when he saw this, so he nodded honestly and said, "There is a woman who is not filial to Aunt Weng." ”

Tie Zhutou and the others were not verbose, and under the pretext of educating the villagers by the magistrate of the county, they directly asked the Du family's whereabouts, and then went directly to the next door to ask the Du family to see the official.

Du Shi couldn't open the door next door before, but there was no way but to hold firewood to burn the kang. But this side has been empty for many years, and the flue is not smooth, and it has not been hot for a long time.

Mei Zhi is still good, when the half-eldest son was strong, Mei Xiao was only seven years old, and he was frightened again in the morning, so he hummed and chirped cold.

Du Shi cursed endlessly, not only hating the cold and unkind father-in-law, but also hating the little Li family who sow discord and the black-faced stepmother Li family, but he also knew that he couldn't go on like this, so he wrapped Mei Xiao in several layers of clothes, planning to take the children back to his parents' house first, and he couldn't just freeze like this.

As soon as the mother and son got out of the yard, they caught up with the knock on the door next door.

The knock on the door was really urgent, and even Du Shi followed suit.

Before her husband left, the jewelry box was gone, and Du Shi knew that her husband had gone to gamble again, so she misunderstood that she was going to collect debts, where did she dare to show up? Knowing that Mei Tongsheng was a person who was not responsible, he had to find this courtyard, Du Shi looked at a pair of children and was anxious to go around.

This gambler is crazy about gambling, what is it to sell land and houses, and it is not uncommon to sell children and daughters.

Thinking of this, Du Shi made a decision and said to his son: "Climb the wall from the back wall and go out, go to your uncle, and ask your uncle to bring someone over!" ”

Although Mei Zhi was only in his teens, he knew that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to delay, and immediately went to the backyard.

Mei Xiaoxiao's face was red, and she was wilted.

Du Shi looked around and took his daughter directly to the side room. It's not Mei Sheng's, it's empty, it's not good for Tibetans, it's another room, it's old furniture.

Du Shi hid his daughter in the cabinet and whispered: "Wait for your mother to come back, don't come out if anyone calls, wait for your mother to come back and buy cakes for your mother!" ”

"Mother, cold!" Mei Xiao curled up like a kitten, and her movement was small.

Du Shi was distressed, and immediately took off his padded jacket and covered his daughter.

The knock on the door next door stopped, Du Shi didn't dare to delay any longer, cleaned up the traces, and went back to the kitchen.

The cotton clothes were given to his daughter, and Du Shi only had a single coat on his body, trembling and guarding the stove, but his ears were straight to pay attention to the movement outside.

When he heard the sound of the door here, Du Shi felt despair in his heart and a hint of happiness.

*

The messenger asked around and "confirmed" Du's unfilial piety and disobedience.

No matter how stupid Du Shirao is, he also knows that this woman has no good end, so he can't care about anything else, and he cries out for mercy.

Mei Tongsheng calmed down, thinking that this was a good opportunity, to settle the Du family's unfilial piety, even if the Du family was divorced, it should be done, as long as the Du family was tolerant, the Du family should not have the confidence to help the Du family fight for the house.

The errand asked Mei Tongsheng, the "bitter master", and the "witnesses" of the neighbors to draw on the "testimony", and asked the people who had the carriage, and ordered the Zhang family, who had the carriage, to take the "tolerance", and escorted the crying and hoarse Du Shi back to the town.

When Du Qi brought Mei Zhi over in a hurry, he saw smoke and dust all the way.

The official errand left, and the lively villagers dispersed, and everyone lost the initial schadenfreude, and they were all a little embarrassed.

If there is a choice, everyone is not willing to do any "human witness", and they don't want to draw a charge, but the official is watching, and the steel knife is beside him, who dares to say "no"?

Mei Zhi looked at Mei Tongsheng viciously, his immature face full of hatred.

Du Qi didn't dare to delay, he hadn't seen or heard of this yamen's affairs, he always needed to go up and down, and he didn't care about comforting his nephew, so he directly pulled Mei Zhi home to get the silver and went to the town.
