The Gui family was discussing the purchase of land and property, but the Mei family father and son were anxious.

Jiang Wu has been back for a few days, and he went to the town again, and he went to the village chief's house again, and he became Gui Wu from Jiang Wu, why didn't he come to Mei's house to negotiate conditions?

Gui Chongyang, a little cub who has no hair, dares to blackmail the Mei family without scruples, it must be Gui Wu behind his back.

Mei Tongsheng's father and son are sure that this is the case, and the more worried they are about the Gui family's "lion opening his mouth".

Gui Wu is not an ordinary farmer, but a "fifth master" who can eat black and white dishes in the town. This big Buddha town house, the Mei family father and son really didn't look down on the Gui family for a while.

"Dad, the Gui family wants to have a treat." Mei Xiucai finished inquiring about the news from outside and came in with a frown.

"It's not a New Year's Day, what kind of guests are you invited?" Mei Tongsheng said disapprerovingly.

"Gui Lao Er wants to make up wine for Gui Wu and the Jiang family." Mei Xiucai said.

Mei Tongsheng twisted his beard and said, "Then Gui Wu is really going back to the village to settle down?" ”

The father and son looked at each other, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"People go to high places, and water flows to low places", isn't it that Gui Wu can't get along in the town, so he wants to go back to the village? In that case, it would be good news for the Mei family.

Mei Tongsheng's expression changed again and again, and said, "Ask someone to go to the town to inquire, what is going on with the Jiang family, why did Jiang Wu become Gui Wu?" If Gui Wu really turned against the Jiang family, then even if Gui Wu knew a few gangsters, he would not be afraid. ”

Mei Xiucai nodded and said, "My son thinks so too." This second Gui is too unparticular, Dad is now taking care of the village school, who is not a guest at the table, and the Gui family wants to cross his father. ”

Mei Tongsheng rolled his eyes: "Even if I invite you, are you embarrassed to go?" In the future, don't call 'Gui Er' and 'Gui Er', after all, it's your father-in-law in front of you, and tell people carefully. ”

Mei Xiucai sneered: "Didn't you just talk about it in front of your father." ”

While the father and son were talking, they heard movement in the courtyard.

"In-laws, are you at home?" A familiar greeting came from the courtyard.

"Why is he here?" Mei's father and son glanced at each other, both with doubts, and greeted each other.

It was not someone else, it was Village Chief Du.

Village Chief Du was wearing a cocoon silk robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, fanning the fan vigorously, and sweating on his forehead.

"It's not June yet, and it's going to be on fire in the sky." The fat man is afraid of heat, and the Du family is only half a mile away from the Mei family, and the village chief Du is sweating.

Mei's house is a courtyard, there is movement in this courtyard, and the Du family in the east chamber also heard it, picked up the curtain and came out, and saw that it was his father, and he also welcomed him happily.

"In-laws, sit in the house quickly, Erniang fished out the chilled watermelon in the well and cut it." Mei Tongsheng greeted the guests and instructed his daughter-in-law.

Du Shi greeted the village chief Du and went to fish for watermelons.

Seeing that the Mei family and his son were still in homely clothes, Village Chief Du blinked his eyes: "Isn't the Gui family setting up wine?" Why doesn't my brother pick it up? ”

Mei Tongsheng touched his beard and said, "I'm not a person all the way, it's better to stay away." ”

But he didn't say whether the Gui family didn't invite him, or whether he didn't want to go to the Gui family.

Du Village Chief said: "The village has been customary rules over the years, but whenever there is a big banquet, you and I are both guests, even if there is a gap before, but it is not easy to break the rules, if the Gui family invites, the old brother will go over, and the provincial people in the village will say that we are narrow-minded." ”

Mei Tongsheng originally didn't think there was anything wrong with the Gui family's second room not inviting him, after all, the two families had deep grievances, and it was the norm to not get along with each other. But after listening to Village Chief Du's words, he felt embarrassed. Yes, it is a common rule in the village that he and the village chief must be invited to officially serve wine, but this time the Gui family invited the village chief alone, and did not invite himself, did he deliberately embarrass himself? If you want to talk about the grievances in the past, there is also unhappiness between the Gui family and the village chief Du, but why did they invite the village chief? At the end of the day, I still underestimated myself.

Village Chief Du pondered for a moment and said, "What does this Gui family mean?" It can't be the revenge of remembering her daughter's divorce, right? ”

Aunt Gui was divorced, and the culprits were Mei's father and son, but the Du family then married their daughter in, and they couldn't say that they were innocent.

"Huh? Vengeful? Do they still have the face to hold grudges? The Gui family killed the eldest of my family and my nephew, dragged my second brother and second brother and sister to death, and only divorced one daughter of their family, and did not ask them to pay for their lives, which is really cheap for the Gui family! Mei Tong was angry.

Village Chief Du frowned and said, "After all these years......

"It doesn't matter how much money you have, killing people to pay for your life, paying off debts, the Gui family owes our Lao Mei family, and we can't pay it off in this life!" The more Mei Tongsheng said, the more he felt that this was the truth, and he got up suddenly: "They don't invite me, I want to go and see if it is their Gui family's weak heart, or should our Mei family retreat!" ”

That's right, that's the truth, the four families that were harmed by the Gui family back then, the Gui family didn't say it themselves, 'the son doesn't teach, the father's fault" is self-inflicted, the Li family died a person, but the Li family took advantage of this to slander the Gui family for a new house, and also arranged for the daughter of Re Xiaozhong to remarry. The head of the Yang family is a stubborn donkey, and he misses his sister and two nephews, not only did he not alienate the Gui family, but he also took care of one or two when he could take care of them; The only one left who can come forward to attack the Gui family is the Mei family.

Village Chief Du was full of embarrassment, and Mei Tongsheng had already walked out in stride.

The corners of Village Chief Du's mouth moved, and with a helpless expression on his face, he followed.

Mei Xiucai held her own identity, and she was also afraid of her ex-mother-in-law, Gui Er's grandmother, so she didn't join in the fun, shook her head and went to the study to warm her books. You must know that when the Mei family retired Aunt Gui, Gui's second grandmother held a kitchen knife and almost chopped Mei Xiucai, her ex-son-in-law. More than ten years have passed, thinking of this scene, Mei Xiucai still has palpitations.

Du Shi followed in, frowned, and said, "Dad is going to the Gui family?" What are you going to do to provoke their family? ”

Mei Xiucai said impatiently: "It's just a drink, what else can there be." Go out, don't delay me from reading. With that, he turned away and turned his back to the door.

Every reader has the dream of "red sleeves and fragrance", Mei Xiucai took a break from Aunt Gui so happily back then, because Aunt Gui had a mediocre appearance and temperament when Gui Er's grandmother was young, she was like a charcoal, choking if she didn't say a word, blocking people speechless, without a woman's suppleness; This Du Shi, supple is supple, but on the face, in fact, he is also a domineering character, he can't wait for the family to grasp all the big and small in his hands, everything has to be verbose, and the face is hateful.

Du Shi was bored with himself, snorted lightly, and slammed the curtain and went out.

*

At this time, Mei Tongsheng and Village Chief Du had already slipped to the west of the village.

As the Gui family approached, half of Mei Tongsheng's anger before was extinguished, and he began to hesitate again. What if the Gui family has something else to rely on? The Gui family is not stupid, how can they dare to blackmail themselves with empty white teeth?

Seeing Mei Tongsheng's eyes fluttering, Village Chief Du smiled and said: "The Gui family has Gui Wu now, and there are three men in the younger generation, although it is a little thinner, after a few years, this day will be lived again." ”

When Mei Tongsheng heard this, he was more confident.

Yes, the Gui family only has three uncles and nephews in Chengding at the moment, one is the expelled son-in-law, and the other is a hairy boy, what is there to be afraid of? Even if they really tear their faces, will the people in the village turn to the Gui family or the Mei family? There is the in-laws of Village Chief Du, I'm afraid it's the head?

"Huh? That's the Gui family? ”

Mei Tongsheng was thinking wildly, and heard Village Chief Du say in surprise. Following the sight of Village Chief Du, he saw several carriages parked in front of Gui's house.
