"As Uncle can see, it is clearly written." Mei is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Nonsense, you have a married aunt, what qualifications do you have to be the main girl's relatives?" Mei Tongsheng dropped the paperwork, blew his beard and glared.

In this way, isn't it the follow-up plan of the Mei family? Aren't the eight taels of silver and five acres of land in vain?

That's right, Mei Tongsheng, who is like cutting meat, has his own plan, that is, to hold Mei Duo's family affairs, and he is not afraid of a place that threatens Mei's family.

At that time, not to mention the dowry in Mei Duo's name, even the one in Mei's hands can be squeezed out, but Mei Tongsheng didn't expect that Mei would think of this in his head and implement it in the paperwork, wouldn't that ruin his own plan?

Duri was sitting on the throne, shook his head and said, "This matter is indeed inappropriate, this is not in accordance with the rules." Not to mention that Mei Fuzi is Mei Duo's uncle and grandfather, a serious family elder, even if he is not in charge, Mei Duo's family affairs should be Mei Xiucai's decision. ”

Mei Xiucai served as a filial son when Mei Er went out of the funeral, and he was a person who "should be inherited", qualified to inherit the inheritance of the second house, and was also an elder who could make decisions for Mei Duo's family affairs.

Mei said: "Uncle asked what qualifications the slave had, and Li Zheng said that it was not in accordance with the rules, only because he had raised his niece for twelve and a half years, and only because of the slave's father and mother, Duo'er, the only flesh and blood in the second room of the Mei family, had not eaten a meal of the Mei family, and had not worn a single piece of clothing from the Mei family. The uncle is the father, and the aunt is also the mother, so what kind of slave can't be the master for Duo'er? If the family affair still falls into the hands of the uncle, who can guarantee that everything will be safe and will not fall into the fire pit? ”

Mei Tongsheng said with a gloomy face: "You don't have to go too far, slander the elders in vain!" That's my niece and granddaughter, why didn't I find a proper family for her? If you are a widow and unemployed, where can you find any good family? ”

"How? Is the town like that? The son can't be humane, but he married two daughters-in-law in a row, either seeking death by himself or being killed, and the town can't marry a daughter-in-law, so he can only go to the countryside to find the Hong family. Is it the good family in the uncle's mouth? Mei picked the corners of her mouth, her face sneering.

This is also the reason why Mei's temperament has changed greatly in the past few days when he faces the Mei family, and he is as decisive as taking drugs.

Since the last time the Mei family father and son went to the Gui family's old house to make trouble, the Mei family asked Gui Wu to help inquire about the Mei family's movements, staring at Mei Tongsheng's old friend in the town, Master You, in case they would sell Mei Duo to marriage, but they didn't expect to inquire about it, and following Master You's recent interactions, they heard that Master Hong was going to marry his daughter-in-law again.

The affairs of the Hong family are too dirty, "good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles", gossip has long spread all over the town, so that the Hong family can't marry a third daughter-in-law in the town, so they will start looking for people in the countryside.

Mei's father and son want to take Mei Duo back at this time, what else can they do?

With such relatives and such calculations, Mei's murderous heart is all there.

Mei Tongsheng didn't expect Mei to know about Master Hong, his eyes flickered a little, but he didn't deny it, and said stiffly: "It's just that others are red that the Hong family is doing well, and it is rumored that there are shops in Hong's town, and there are Zhuangzi outside the town. ”

Du Li nodded and said: "If you talk about their family, the family is not ordinarily rich, even if the children and grandchildren lie down and spend flowers, the silver is enough." ”

"Duo'er grew up in a small household in Chaimen, and she didn't have the life of being a young grandmother, but the sixth girl in the Lizheng family, half a year older than Duo'er, so that the slave and maid were raised and raised, which is more suitable for matching the high door!" Mei Shi looked at Du Lizheng, and there was a chill in his eyes.

The affairs of the Hong family are not difficult to inquire about at all, Du Li is still vague and muddy, and his heart can be punished.

Duri was about to be a good person, so he pulled the two families to make peace, but he didn't expect it to affect him. Although he has many daughters and has never taken his daughters seriously, Liuniang is a young daughter after all, and it is useful to keep it, how could she marry into a messy family like the Hong family for a few dozen taels of silver?

Du Li Zheng was very disgusted with Mei's "inch by inch", put away the warmth on his face, picked up the teacup, took a sip, put out the shelf of Li Zheng and said: "Your uncle has taken a step back, you should also know a little about what is good or bad, don't mess around!" ”

Mei didn't speak, but pushed back the money bag that Mei Tongsheng handed over before.

Inside is sixteen taels of silver, eight taels to make up Mei's dowry, and eight taels are prepared for Meiduo to collect on Mei's behalf.

In addition to the sixteen taels of silver, Mei Tongsheng also promised to take out ten acres of forty acres of land in the Mei family's second room, and Mei's and Mei Duo's aunts and nephews each had five acres of land as makeup fields.

The conditions are not rich, even if Mei Er is still alive, the dowry prepared for his daughter and granddaughter is not much more than these.

According to Mei Tongsheng and Du Lizheng's previous expectations, this Mei family should have taken these honestly, but she didn't expect that she would take out a document that stated in black and white that Mei Duo's family affairs were decided by her, who was the aunt, and the other elders of the Mei family had no right to interfere.

How could Mei Tongsheng sign such a document?

But what does Mei mean at the moment? Don't accept these?

"Uncle doesn't sign this, and the slave doesn't dare to accept this." Mei directly expressed his attitude: "Uncle Tian said that when the dowry is transferred, it should be marked that it cannot be passed on to outsiders, and can only be left to its own children, and it is a widow's family to enslave it, if there are really biological children, it is a joke; It's Duo'er here, if the uncle is reluctant to give up the five acres of land, and finds someone who is looking for a steproom to fill the house to marry Duo'er, the slave will cry to death. ”

This is another little careful thinking of Mei Tongsheng, even if the Hong family's family affairs are not successful, send Mei Duo to fill the house, and kill her heirs, the five acres of land will still be transferred back to the Mei family. Unexpectedly, this point also made Mei think of it.

Mei Tongsheng stared at Mei fiercely, almost not knowing that this was his niece. The second and second daughter-in-law are both honest people, how can this daughter be so tricky?

Even Du Lizheng couldn't help but look at Mei's family, but he didn't expect that she could have such insight as a woman, and she could deduce his intentions just from Mei Tongsheng's words.

Gui Wu sat down with Mei's hand, and glanced at Gui Chongyang from the corner of his eye.

Just a few days ago, after the second room of the Gui family had a treat, Gui Chongyang told everyone that Mei Tongsheng might have several reactions. Today's kind happens to be mentioned by Gui Chongyang before.

Gui Chongyang not only guessed the possibility, but also discussed with Mei how to deal with it. And this so-called "discussion" is mostly said by the little guy, and Mei's nod is in his heart.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that a twelve-year-old boy could have such scheming and scheming?

Gui Chongyang, who is partial to life, has a thin body, looks sick and weak, and looks very pure and harmless.

Gui Wu went to see Mei again, Mei's waist was straight, very hard, and he didn't show timidity at all.

Mei Tongsheng was stingy and greedy for money, and he was reluctant to take out the ten acres of land and sixteen taels of silver, only because he had a backhand; Now that it has been exposed by Mei's, I don't know what will happen in the future, so I naturally feel sorry for the money. He stretched out his hand and ran towards the purse, clutching it tightly in his hand.

Mei lowered his eyes, looking inexplicable.

Seeing this, Du Li hurriedly "coughed", secretly pointed at Gui Wu, and shook his head at Mei Tongsheng.

Mei Tongsheng knew that this was to remind himself that Gui Wu still had a form in his hand, and if he didn't make up for the dowry, he would be at a disadvantage if he really litigated.

Mei Tongsheng gritted his teeth fiercely, and reluctantly let go of the money bag in his hand: "This silver is still for you, but the dowry field is handed down by the ancestors of the Mei family, if you don't want to mark it when you transfer the house, you should stay at home." ”

Even if he knew that Du Li was right before, Mei Tongsheng was still reluctant to gain the upper hand. The silver is okay, the aunt and nephew add up to sixteen taels, but the land is ten acres, according to the current land price, it is sixty or seventy taels of silver.

Mei didn't take the money, but said softly: "How to divide the land, whether to keep it at home or not, I'm afraid it doesn't matter if the uncle says it." ”

Mei Tongsheng's face immediately became more defensive, and he stared at Mei Shi and said, "Okay, you ruined woman, first you were eyeing the Mei family's silver, and now you are thinking about the Mei family's land?" ”

"Didn't you forget? It was the land of the slave family, in the name of the slave's father, and the title deed was in the hands of the slave. Seeing that Mei Tong was angry and devastated in a hurry, Mei's demeanor became more and more calm.

Mei Tongsheng frowned: "That's ancestral property, there is no male in the second room, so naturally I have to take it back." ”

"Ancestral property? Is Uncle confused? When the uncle split the family, it was not an excuse that the two cousins were studying and the family spent a lot of money and refused to divide it equally, but it happened that my father, a student, had a developed family and gave 20 acres of land as a thank you gift, so the uncle counted the 20 acres of land and only gave another 10 acres to the slave family. There are ten acres of land left, five acres are the dowry brought by the mother from the Gui family, and five acres are the dowry field sold by the family next door to the mother's dowry field, and the slave's father bought it and made up ten acres, saying that it was for the slave to bring back to the Gui family in the future. They are all red deeds from the government, and the sources of each place are clearly written. Speaking of these, Mei regretted his cowardice in the past, and it was because he gave in too easily, so that Mei Tong was used to making inches of progress. However, at that time, the Gui family was in turmoil, and in addition to forbearance, there was only one way to go, but there was a babbling little Meiduo, and he didn't even dare to die.

The Mei family split up early, and they were scholars, so they didn't publicize these things, so it was the first time that everyone present heard about it.

Du Li Zheng and Gui Wu looked at Mei Tongsheng with surprise, the former thought he was too stupid, and his brother had been dead for so many years and had not even changed the title deed; The latter felt that Mei Tongsheng's face was too thick, and the people in the village always thought that the land was divided equally between the two brothers of the Mei family, and the family was thirty acres, but they didn't expect that twenty acres of them were not the Mei family at all, Mei Tongsheng left thirty acres of land for himself, and only divided ten acres to the brothers.

"At that time, there was no separation, where was there any private property? What's wrong with sharing them together? Mei Tongsheng still said strongly: "The remaining ten acres of land, since you want to bring it to the Gui family, then why not use it as compensation for me by the Gui family?" The Gui family owes our Mei family two lives, that is, your father and your mother died of illness one after another, and it was also because of this incident, not to mention letting the Gui family pay for their lives, isn't it cheaper to ask for ten acres of land? ”

This is coming back in circles again, but it means that he refuses to let go of an acre of land.

Mei Tongsheng saw it, with Mei's aunt to protect him, Mei Duo may not be able to get his wish, even if it is better to lose less in front of him.

"Since this is the case, let it be judged, but in addition to my family's forty acres of land and five rooms, the four acres of land and forty taels of silver that the uncle asked for from the Gui family should also be calculated, and there are two acres of land and twenty taels of silver, which the uncle asked for on behalf of my brother, and it should belong to Mei Duo." Mei Shi Road.

Mei Tongsheng didn't even want to divide the land that belonged to the second room, let alone his own, and he was immediately annoyed when he heard it.

Du Li was the first to speak: "Our village has always been peaceful, and there are no lawsuits, so why not get to the point of being judged?" Or according to the previous proposal, since your second cousin has two houses on his shoulders, then he should set aside the dowry of your aunt and nephew, five acres of land and eight taels of silver per person, as for how the land and silver will be distributed in the future, it will naturally belong to you and you will be the decision! ”

Mei Tongsheng was reluctant and wanted to speak, but Du Li turned to stare at him, his eyes were like knives, and he couldn't speak.

Mei did not respond immediately, but looked at the clerk on the small table.

Du Li Zheng glanced at Gui Wu from the corner of his eye, and saw that he was not in a hurry and was as steady as Mount Tai, so he said to Mei Tongsheng: "It's early and peace of mind, you can let your niece feel at ease and sign this." ”

The pen and ink were prepared before, in order to let Mei leave a note to explain the future ownership of the dowry field, and now it is convenient for Mei Tongsheng.

Mei Tongsheng only felt that his heart was like a knife, and he was reluctant in every way, but he was still forced by Du Lizheng's eyes, and signed his name on the document with trembling hands.

*

At the door of Du's house, Mei's group came out.

There were many villagers outside waiting to see the excitement, thinking that the two families would tear up, but they didn't expect that the courtyard had been quiet until the Mei family came out, and there was no fuss.

The three of them were all expressionless, how did this matter be solved?

Everyone was curious, and they couldn't help but have all kinds of speculations.

*

It wasn't until he entered the Gui family's old house that Mei's face finally changed, and he said to Gui Chongyang with red eyes: "Chongyang, aunt, thank you......"
