The next day, Gui Chongyang did not go to the village school.

As for the village school, because he was worried that Mei Tong would be verbose, Gui Chongyang did not show up, but directly wrote a leave note and asked Mei to send it over.

Mei Shi took out a purse, which contained an ingots and a few pieces of broken silver, adding up to thirteen or four taels, or the remnants of Chongyang's filial piety before, and said: "Don't go alone, this is not the time for you to come forward alone, go to your eldest brother Chun, this matter can't be hidden from your second grandfather!" ”

In the eyes of outsiders, the two rooms of "Xigui" are a family, but this lawsuit is a tear between the Gui family and the Mei family, and Gui Chongyang always wants to go and talk to the elders of the second room in person, but the Gui family and the Mei family can't fight a lawsuit, and the second room of the Gui family is still hidden in the dark.

However, Gui Chongyang did not rush to Gui's second grandfather's house, nor did he go directly to Xiji Town, but watched and stared at the courtyard next door.

Seeing that Li Facai and Li He's father and son went out one after another, they even twisted their waists and went out with the Qian family, so they took a slingshot and shot directly at the window of the east wing of the Li family.

The east wing room is not as warm in winter as the west wing, cool in winter, and sunny in summer, but the Li family let Li Jiang live in one, and the other is a utility room. When Li Taoer was not sold for marriage, she lived in the utility room.

The stone hit the window frame with a "pop".

Li Jiang pushed open the window, poked his head out, and just saw Gui Chongyang on the wall.

Li Jiang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly glanced at the upper room, then closed the window, and crept out of the house.

Li Jiang still remembered Mei's previous words, and didn't dare to climb over the wall again.

When Li Jiang walked outside the gate of Gui's house, Gui Chongyang had already come over to open the door.

"The pot helmet and the broad bean aunt are both kept for you." Gui Chongyang beckoned Li Jiang in.

Li Jiang swallowed his saliva and complained in a low voice: "My mother's cooking is like pig food, and I am really hungry every time, so I can eat a few bites." ”

Li Facai was black-hearted in his early years, in order to go out to the pit and be abducted, he saw that his youngest son was delicate, so he raised him as a daughter since he was a child. In order not to show his feet, he also pierced his ears and eyes and wrapped his little feet, but after all, his son is a son, and he didn't force Li Jiang to do laundry and cooking, after all, there was a Li Taoer who could be instructed before, and he was a little slave who was a cow and a horse.

When Li Taoer was sold to the underworld, the housework fell on the Qian family.

Qian is used to being lazy, so in the name of teaching his son, he wants to pull Li Jiang to work.

Li Jiang is usually cowardly towards people, but he understands in his heart, knowing that if he does a good job, he will have to take over the housework in the future.

The Qian family "hates iron but not steel", but Mrs. Li is used to being careful, and she can't see things ruined, so she scolded her daughter-in-law again, saying that she is more black-hearted than her stepmother, and no one's mother hides her son like this.

Qian had no choice but to take over the housework by himself.

Others are barely good, but there was Mrs. Li in the early years, and later Li Taoer, and Qian's craftsmanship is really bad.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was inappropriate, Mrs. Li was hesitant to take over the work on the stove, but found that the food was not done well, and the family saved a lot of rice.

Li Facai and Li He's father and son are idle, and they can always find a place to eat, but Li Jiang suffers.

is a half-grown boy, and it is the time to grow his body, and those who are hungry and full have grown into a thin bamboo pole body. When it comes to food, it's even more gluttonous.

Gui Chongyang went to the kitchen to get a pot helmet and broad beans, as well as a bean paste bun made in the morning, plus a small pickle.

Li Jiang was not polite, followed Gui Chongyang to the upper room, and began to eat.

Until half a pack of pot helmets was eaten with three fist soybean sand bags, Li Jiang had to reach out and continue to take the bean sand bags.

Gui Chongyang didn't dare to give him any more to eat, pushed the teacup next to him forward, and said, "It's all dry, eat too much in the stomach, eat it slowly!" ”

Li Jiang took the teacup embarrassedly, ate two sips of tea, and then touched his stomach and said, "I couldn't sleep last night when I was hungry, and I regret it, I regret that I was embarrassed to eat when I was full of Barilla." ”

Gui Chongyang thought for a while and said, "Second Brother Li, I'll go to the town in a while and hand over a complaint to Mei Qingshu for instructing his son to burglarize!" ”

Li Jiang's eyes widened, he looked around twice, and said, "It's actually their family?" Mei Xiaoba didn't go to Upper Village Juku? Went back to Mei's house? ”

Mei Qingshu is Mei Xiaoba's uncle, if Mei Xiaoba is still in the Gui family, even if there is a theft in the past, he will not get to the point of being an official.

Gui Chongyang nodded, and Li Jiang was puzzled: "How could Mei Qingshu think of stealing your house?" It can't be what Mei Xiaoba said, right? ”

Mei Xiaoba is an inner ghost? That's why it attracted the theft of Mei Qingshu? In that case, Mei Xiaoba has no conscience.

Others don't know what kind of life Mei Xiaoba is living in the Gui family, but they all fall into Li Jiang's eyes, and it really fell into a blessed nest.

Gui Chongyang shook his head and briefly said about Fang Zi, in order to avoid extraneous branches, according to Mei's rhetoric at Mei's house last night, Fang Zi was discussed with the nobles in the town, and it could not be spread.

Li Jiang smacked his tongue when he heard it, Gui Chongyang didn't want to fool him, and said bluntly: "When it's really time to ask about the case, you have to check the human and physical evidence, and you can't say that you will bother Second Brother Li." Is Second Brother Li afraid to testify in court? If you don't want to come forward, it doesn't matter, I'll think of another idea! ”

After all, Tensor is a new official, even if Gui Chongyang wants to ask a favor to teach Mei Qingshu a lesson, and have a belated "killing chickens and monkeys", he is not willing to make too much trouble for Tensor, and it is more prudent to "act according to law".

Li Jiang was stunned, but he really didn't expect that there was something to do with it.

Going to class?

As long as Li Jiang thought that he might go to court, in front of everyone's eyes, the cold sweat on his back came down, and his face was a little nervous and cramped.

Gui Chongyang sighed in his heart and extinguished the idea of letting Li Jiang be a "human witness".

Li Jiangshi is not generous, and now he is closer to Gui Chongyang, also because he has been secretly paying attention to the Gui family for several months, and Gui Chongyang is still a child, gentle and harmless.

Gui Chongyang waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's just that I didn't ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Jiang: "I am a witness, not a thief, I am not afraid, I will go!" ”

The young man clenched his fists vigorously and said "I'm not afraid" in his mouth, but his nervous face turned white.

It's just a formality, Gui Chongyang nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome Second Brother Li!" ”

The Li family has no contact with the Mei family, and Li Jiang has a strong brother, even if he will offend the Mei family if he testifies, the Mei family can't do anything to Li Jiang.

Mei Xiaoba, but it's different.

In the current world, the emphasis is on "kissing and hiding", if Mei Xiaoba speaks in court, even if she just tells the truth, it is difficult for the world to understand.

After knowing each other for half a year, and getting along day and night for two months, Gui Chongyang relented in the end.

After asking Li Jiang's side, Gui Chongyang went to the second room.

Gui Chun was not there, so he got a few truckloads of grass and wood ash fertilizer, and took people to raise the dozens of acres and go to the fields.

Gui's second grandfather couldn't be idle, so he was going to follow, but because of the change in the sky, the old cold leg was committed, and Gui's second grandmother was forced to stay at home.

Seeing Gui Chongyang coming over at this point, Gui Er's grandfather and his wife were a little surprised.

Because he still had to go to the town, Gui Chongyang didn't say anything, and directly said that the Mei family was worried about the recipe, and even Mei Xiaoba's section was not hidden.

Mei Xiaoba's succession is complete, and even the household post has moved out, which is the termination of the succession relationship, and the household post must be moved again.

After listening, Grandpa Gui turned black, and Grandma Gui scolded him: "Then there are no good people in the Lao Mei family!" Phew! And the face of the self-proclaimed reader? He who looks down on this and looks down on that, now he is a thief! Just go and sue, they dare to steal other people's good things? It's just that your aunt is an adult in your family, and she is still a woman, but I don't want to think about it, you still raise Mei Xiaoba for them! That Mei Xiaoba is also a white-eyed wolf, it can't be that he went back to instigate it, and his uncle gave birth to a thief! ”

Second Grandpa Gui didn't chatter like this with Second Grandma Gui, only frowned and said, "What did your aunt say?" ”

Gui Chongyang said: "My aunt didn't say anything, but she didn't object to her grandson to hand over the complaint. ”

Second Grandpa Gui said in a sullen voice: "Then sue, I will go to the town with you and find your fifth uncle to come forward!" ”

When Gui Chongyang heard this, he hurriedly said: "No, no, just go to the town by yourself and ask the fifth uncle for help when the time comes!" ”

Second Grandpa Gui turned over and went to the ground, holding a cane in his hand, which was still filial piety to Gui Chongyang before, and said, "I'm not old enough to get off the kang." Use your Uncle Zhang's car directly, you can't sue quietly like this, you must let the people in the village know who is right and who is wrong! ”

In the end, he has lived for most of his life, he has seen a lot, he has seen a lot, and Grandpa Gui knows people's hearts the most.

Everyone in the world has a "compassionate heart" and has always liked to pity the weak.

Now in the eyes of the villagers, the Gui family is a big landlord's family, and the Mei Qingshu family cannot be said to be poor, but it cannot be said to be rich. The Gui family sued the Mei family, not to mention who was right and wrong, but in the eyes of the villagers, it seemed that the Gui family was oppressing people with power.

It is said that "there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure", Gui Chongyang only believed it today. He just wanted to "kill chickens and monkeys", and one or two people in the province were eyeing the Gui family, but they didn't mean to cause public outrage and isolate all the villagers.

The Zhang family is generous and enthusiastic, but there is a sister-in-law Zhang, and only sister-in-law Zhang knows what news there is, and it is well known.

Gui's second grandfather's proposal just made up for the shortcomings that Gui Chongyang had envisioned before.

*

Mei Qingshu's house, Mei Ping saw Mei Xiaoba chopping firewood in the backyard, and couldn't help but be furious, and stepped forward to draw his axe: "What time is it?" Why don't you go to school? ”

Mei Xiaoba drooped her head, with a little grievance on her face.

What else does Meiping not understand? Throwing down the axe, he immediately went to find his son and said, "Are you not letting Xiaoba study, or is your mother-in-law not letting you?" Primary 5 and Primary 7 both go to school, why can't they go to Primary 8? ”

Mei Qingshu frowned and said, "How can there be spare money at home for him to study?" Anyway, his brothers are over there, so if there is anything that he won't know, ask Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi directly! ”

Mei Ping said angrily: "Let go of your mother's stinky shit!" Did Hachi spend a penny on reading a book? That's the money taught by Shun Niang......" Speaking of this, the reaction was wrong: "What about your mother-in-law?" ”
