Lao Jin has long regarded the Du family's ten hectares of Zhuangzi as a dish on a plate, how can he allow a change? What he was worried about was Miss Liang's marriage before, but he didn't take the property seriously, and he had already made a guarantee on the Hou Mansion.

Now that the Gui family is buying land, in the eyes of Lao Jin, it is to rob the food in his mouth.

Mei Xiucai pointed to the private room and said, "Which one else?" It is the owner of this Barilla Katsura Go. The Du family was scared twice before, my brother-in-law was expelled from the county school, and the shop manager also ran away with the money, all of them came to the ground, my father-in-law was like a frightened bird, so the Gui family bought my father-in-law and responded, and it was really cheap for the Gui family. "In the end, it's already gnashing of teeth.

Now that the Mei family is poor, but the Gui family is thriving, Mei Xiucai is naturally full of resentment, but the hatred on his face is not only for the Gui family, but also for the old Jin in front of him and the Hou Mansion behind him.

Addicted to gambling and unable to extricate herself, Mei Xiucai is not unrepentant, but she just can't hold back.

But how did this gambling addiction come about, Mei Xiucai remembers. It was Zhang Fu, the shopkeeper of Du Ji Buzhuang, who abducted him to gamble, and Zhang Fu colluded with Lao Meng, who lent him money. Lao Jin personally admitted that Lao Meng was a helper of the Hou Mansion.

His gambling addiction was designed by Mei Sheng's little rabbit cub and the Du family's pond fish.

Didn't the Hou Mansion want to get married? Then get married! Don't you want to buy land? Then let them buy the land!

Mei Xiucai sneered in her heart.

Lao Jin couldn't help but slap the table angrily: "I really ate the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and I dare to compete with the Hou Mansion for land?" What does this Gui Wu rely on? A little son-in-law, first opened a restaurant, and then bought land with silver, which is too rampant! ”

Mei Xiucai pouted and said, "What do you rely on?" It's that iron boss! Iron Boss is the biggest bastard leader in Sanhe, there are cute officials with children, and there are children who are headhunters in the county government, he has always been domineering, I heard that he has a human life on his hands, who dares to provoke their family! ”

As for the close relationship between the new county order and the Gui family, Mei Xiucai hid it.

This Hou Mansion and the Gui family are both resentful by Mei Xiucai, and I wish the two families were on the same page. At that time, it was the Gui family who was unlucky, but just like Lao Jin said before, now that the emperor has moved the capital to Beijing, Xungui must also be careful in doing things, and it is impossible to say that the Gui family and the new county order can bite the Hou Mansion back.

No matter which side is unlucky, it is a good thing for Mei Xiucai.

When Lao Jin heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Gui family has an officialdom background, Lao Jin can't say that he is really afraid of it; But the backer of the Gui family is the Tie family, and it is really not something that Lao Jin is afraid of.

In Lao Jin's eyes, Monk Tie is just a retired veteran in the army, who has become a snake in the land by virtue of the family's male flourishing, and it is nothing to scare the common people.

Mei Xiucai finished making a mistake, remembered the matter, rubbed her hands, and said, "Brother Jin, this is ...... Let's not talk about buying land, what kind of charter is this matter between Brother Sheng and Miss Liang? ”

Lao Jin said: "Naturally, it depends on the meaning of Mei Xianggong, but it is not reluctant, it can be done, and if it is not successful, it will only be fate!" ”

Mei Xiucai hurriedly said: "Why didn't you arrive?" It's just right, firstly, Brother Sheng and Liang Da are still classmates in the same year, and it will be cheaper to go to school together in the future; Second, the two families are not far away, and they have really become married, and Liang Yiren misses her daughter, and it is convenient to take care of them! I just want the Du family to take the initiative to withdraw from their relatives, and it will take a lot of effort. My stepmother-in-law is not the mother-in-law and sister-in-law, but she is greedy for money, and she wants to end the previous marriage contract silently, and I am afraid that she will have to start with her stepmother-in-law. ”

Mei Xiucai has the heart to take over relatives and make money, but in the end, she loves face, and she can't say that she can't talk about the Li family.

Lao Jin had already prepared a sum of silver in his hand, but he was not bad for money, but he didn't want to be wronged.

Lao Meng gave Mei Xiucai a sum of silver before, and Lao Jin also gave it once last time, although he didn't have good intentions, but it was also real money.

Now that Mei Xiucai wants silver in and out of words, isn't there something wrong with it?

Lao Jin looked at Mei Xiucai with a smile and said: "Since the Mei family is willing to get married, it is naturally the Mei family's business to retreat from relatives or not, I believe that Mei Xianggong has always been highly talented, and he will definitely be able to think of a proper way!" ”

Mei Xiucai still wants to ask for three or five hundred taels, even if the other party talks about bargaining, there will be one or two hundred taels left, where is it blocked by Lao Jin's words?

Mei Xiucai's face was a little ugly, and he said with a forced smile: "What is the situation of the little brother now, and he doesn't hide it from Brother Jin, it's really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!" ”

Lao Jin sneered in his heart, but he didn't dare to really force Mei Xiucai hard, took out a purse, and said: "The big head of silver is waiting to buy property for the eldest lady, I can't use much, so I will prepare a hundred taels for Mei Xianggong first." It's just that these silvers are not small money, every one of them has to be accounted for, and the ugly words are ahead, if the two families really become in-laws, it is naturally good for you and me, and there is no reason for the dignified Hou Mansion to collect debts for the in-laws for three or four hundred taels of silver; But if the family affair fails, I can't say that this account really has to be calculated well, and the account of the Hou Mansion is not easy to delay! In the end, pay attention to Mei Xiucai's expression and bring a little warning.

Mei Xiucai grabbed the purse, only to feel the heavy pressure on his hand, and immediately became full of Tai, and said with a smile: "Brother Jin, don't worry, although it is a bit troublesome, it can be wrapped on the little brother!" ”

The late young lady of the Wupin military attache's family, a decent family affair. If the Liang family didn't have a son, they would be willing to send their nephew directly to Mei Xiucai.

I just want to do it for a hundred taels of silver, that's a dream!

Lao Jin had already stood up, opened the box door, and looked downstairs into the lobby.

The lobby was bustling, it was actually full, and there were two rows of guests waiting for seats at the door. A junior arrived courteously and sent hot tea and a bamboo waiting number plate over.

With the cold weather, everyone is more willing to dine-in and eat hot, and Baiwei Xiang Food Shop is of good quality and low price, so it has naturally become the first choice of the people. Medium-sized families in the town who don't like to fire will occasionally come over to satisfy their hunger.

Although it is not as good as a big restaurant, it can win in the chain of three, and it is such a grand deal.

Lao Jin's face showed greed, and he felt more and more that he had a good vision and could make a full contribution.

Mujia Village, Village School.

Winter days are short, and the end of school is half an hour earlier from October, and the bell rings at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Gui Chongyang came out, and Mei Xiaoba had already walked out of the "fright" when Mei Sheng came back, thinking about what to eat for dinner. It was when he was growing his body, and he was hungry twice a few days ago at Mei's house, and now he is becoming more and more greedy.

Gui Chongyang was not in good health and because of his filial piety and vegetarian diet, he did not pay attention to his desire to eat, and he was also a little hungry by Mei Xiaoba.

When they arrived at the intersection, the two said goodbye to Yang Wu, and after a while, they arrived at the old house of the Gui family.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, the two of them smelled a burst of sauce coming to their noses.

Mei Xiaoba snorted and was overjoyed: "This is mushroom sauce!" ”

Even Gui Chongyang also smiled, vegetarian and bland, except for green vegetables and tofu, there are only various mushrooms that taste sweet.

These mushrooms of the Gui family are still picked by Xiaoba in summer and autumn, in addition to eating some of them at that time, drying two bags, and pickling two jars, now there are few winter dishes, but it is just right to take them out and add vegetables.

Dinner is ready, a marinated sauce made of mushrooms and dried tofu, and the noodles are rolled out by hand.

Although it is vegan, there is a lot of sesame oil in the marinade, and the noodles are extremely delicious, even Gui Chongyang, who has a small appetite, can't help but add half a bowl after eating a bowl, and Mei Xiaoba, who has a large appetite, directly ate four bowls before putting it down.

Mei Shi was not at ease, so he soaked two bowls of hawthorn water for Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba to eat.

Mei Xiaoba copied the book, this is the homework that Gui Chongyang left for him.

Since Mei Xiaoba is just going to school for literacy, she plans to study for a year or two, so she doesn't have to follow the imperial examination and enlightenment, so she can naturally read and write.

As for Gui Chongyang, he was left in the upper room by Mei's.

Without waiting for Mei to speak, Gui Chongyang thought of the reason: "But Mei Sheng is here?" Is he here to intercede with Mei Qingshu and his wife? ”

Mei nodded and shook his head: "I'm here, but it's not for the lawsuit over there!" He...... Ask you where you went back then! ”

Mei Sheng's reaction was very straightforward, obviously holding a grudge, hating Du Lizheng, the mastermind behind the scenes, and hating the unkind and unrighteous uncle, so how could he let go of the Gui family?

Mei Shi carefully explained Mei Shenglai's conversation and reaction, worried, and whispered: "Chongyang, do you want to find a way to resolve it?" If it really can't be resolved, then ......"

People have distant relatives, Mei Sheng and Gui Chongyang, Mei is naturally close to Gui Chongyang.

Now in this world, Mei's most favored relatives are his niece Mei Duo and the heir of the long house Gui Chongyang, as for Mei Xiaoba, the heir and nephew, there are things before, there is nothing on the face, and the heart is light.

As the saying goes, "If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves", if Mei Sheng hates the Gui family, he already has a reputation in the front, and most of the future officials will be in front of Gui Chongyang, which will be a disaster for the Gui family.

The best way to prevent it is to only block Mei Sheng's future.

But back then, Mei Sheng was indeed a victim. Mei himself has also experienced great changes, and understands the grievances in Mei Sheng's heart.

The rest of the words, Mei couldn't speak.
