The day after the Meng patriarch's mother-in-law met Meng Zhen in the county seat, the former Meng patriarch's family ushered in a wave of debt collectors.

These people were Yan Zhenwu's subordinates who helped find Hua Liuye, and Meng Hao handed them two IOUs, and they collected the debts on their behalf.

As for the remuneration, Meng Zhen will collect five percent of the total amount of the two taels for them according to the rules of the road, and in addition to their food and accommodation expenses during this time, Meng Zhen also promised that they could be reimbursed.

These people block their family every day, and the grandsons and nephews of the Meng patriarch can't go out to school at all.

As for the other Meng clan people in the village, because they didn't dare to provoke these bastards, they all walked around their family.

In addition, what they had done to Meng Qingze's family, others were somewhat guessing, so even if they wanted to borrow money from the clansmen, no one in the Meng clan dared to take out silver taels for them.

- The tragic incident of Meng Qingze's family, but they are reminded all the time what it means to be "rich and moving". They don't want to be remembered by this family.

Unable to borrow money, those bastards blocked their family every day to collect all kinds of debts, and the two families had no choice but to discuss and sell part of the land.

They sold all the fields left by Meng Zhen's father, and the two families owed Meng Qingze a total of 500 taels, and in order to make money, they sold a total of 40 acres of land.

Meng Hao had already prepared, she handed over the money to Sun Yaren, and asked him to help her buy back these fields.

After paying the money for buying land, the money for thanking the tooth people, and the money for going to the yamen to apply for the red deed, and then paying the hardship fee, room and board fees for the professional debt collectors, and taking the land deed of the recovered 40 acres of land and 500 taels of silver, Meng Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She also handed over the forty acres of land that fell under Meng Qi's name to Yan Zhenwu to rent, and took the five hundred taels of silver recovered from the mother-in-law and sister-in-law of the Meng clan to fill the silver tael vacancy left by the land purchase.

"Next year, I will try to buy the remaining more than 200 acres of land back into our own hands." When he showed the deed of the field to Meng Qi, Meng Zhen said so.

The remaining 260 acres of land are located in the east and south of Mengjiazhuang, and the 120 acres in the east are all upper fields, and half of the 140 acres in the south are middle fields.

These fields belong to two Zhuangzi, and in addition to the fields, there is also an attached two-entry courtyard for cooling off.

These two Zhuangzi were purchased by Meng Qingze's grandfather, and they are considered the ancestral property of the Meng family, so Meng Zhen will definitely buy them back.

"It's hard work, sister." Little Meng Qi's chubby hand hugged one of Meng Hao's arms hard, "When I grow up, I will definitely honor my sister." ”

People say that "the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother", but on his side, it is his amiable, lovely and respectable eldest sister who is like a mother.

His sister not only saved his life, but relied on two legs at night to send him to the county seat safely overnight, but also allowed him to be fed, clothed, and able to afford to read, and also helped him get back the inheritance left by his father.

Xiao Meng Qi was extremely fortunate at this time, after the death of his parents, he still had a sister who treated him like a jewel.

"Okay, don't be tired of your sister, you shouldn't have finished your schoolwork yet, right?" As soon as Su Shen stretched out his hand, Xiao Meng Qi was carried to his side.

Meng Qi squinted at Brother Su, who was cautious and jealous, "Brother Su, I just had a few days off, how could I finish all my schoolwork so quickly?" ”

The little guy had a little expression of "you just want to make excuses, and you are looking for a little decent", and Meng Hao couldn't help but snicker.

Su Shen didn't feel embarrassed at all, "If you finish writing it early, won't you be able to have fun earlier?" ”

Meng Qi pursed his lips, "It doesn't make a difference to me whether it's early or late, but if you promise to give me a big red envelope for the New Year, it's not like I can't think about finishing my homework now." ”

Su Shen: ......

Meng Zhen: ......

"Deal." Su Shen readily agreed, but Meng Zhen looked at the back of her younger brother walking away, and silently doubted the "price" of her sister.

"By the way, there are two things I have to discuss with you."

When Meng Qi completely disappeared, Su Shen put on a serious expression and talked to Meng Zhen about some serious things at home.

"You say."

"Now that Uncle Yan and Aunt Yun have children, I don't think it's appropriate for them to huddle with us anymore. Do you think we're going to buy another house? ”

Meng Hao also had this intention, "This time I want to buy a three-entry belt with a cross-hospital." Otherwise, you will buy the four-in. ”

In fact, the house that the Meng family originally bought in the county seat was a three-entry with east and west across the courtyard, but Meng Zhen didn't want to take Meng Qi and them back to the old house together.

There are a lot of memories for them when they come there, the memories are sweet, but the memories are bitter at this time, Meng Zhen doesn't want Meng Qi to touch the scene every day.

Second, after all, that mansion belonged to Meng Qi, and Meng Hao didn't want to take Su Shen to live there with him - Su Shen was not the Meng family's son-in-law.

It's not the same if they buy their own house.

Not to mention that Su Shen has also made a lot of contributions to this family, every penny they spent has Su Shen's credit in it, just say that the windfall they made in the small valley before, that money Meng Zhen has always felt that it should have Su Shen and Hao Mengyun's share.

The two discussed about buying a house for about a quarter of an hour, and finally decided to buy the new house near the Meng family's old house as much as possible, so that even if Meng Qi set up his own door in the future, it would become very convenient for Meng Zhen to continue to take care of him.

After discussing the matter of buying a house, Su Shen asked if he could give Hao Mengyun and Yan Zhenwu a monthly silver increase.

Meng Hao also raised her hands in favor of this, and she also planned to raise the monthly silver with everyone, including herself.

"Master and Uncle Yan should indeed go up, and I plan to give them twenty taels of silver every month in the future. Then there is their small steamed bun, and I will give him two taels of silver every month as pocket money. ”

"As for you and Ah Qi, the two of you want to study, which is relatively expensive, so I plan to give you and Ah Qi a monthly silver of ten taels every month starting from the first month."

"My own is just as good as the two of you, so I don't have to make too many standards at once, and I don't have to add a lot of trouble."

"I'm going to give them a monthly silver increase. The two little guys who followed Ah Qi mentioned one or two silver in the month, and the rest of the other subordinates all rose to one or two dollars. ”

Meng Qi's monthly silver has always been in charge of Meng Hao, and usually Meng Qi can only use ten copper plates of pocket money a day, so no matter how much he sends him, Meng Zhen doesn't have to worry about this little guy spending it indiscriminately.

As for Su Shen, Su Shen basically only goes home from Bailu Academy once a month, plus he is already an adult after all, in addition to the daily expenses required for studying, he usually has to socialize with his classmates and teachers.

Although ninety percent of the things given to Mr. Bai's family and several of his roommates were prepared by Meng Zhen for him, he still had to socialize with other people in Bailu Academy, except for these people.

That's why Meng Hao thought of mentioning the upper limit of the monthly case to Su Shen.

As for the rest of the family, the subordinates are because they are doing well, and Yan Zhenwu and Hao Mengyun are because they have become parents and need to start saving more money for their children.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that they have always tried their best to help Meng Zhen.

Meng Hao was grateful to them, so he was so generous, and directly raised the monthly silver of the two to twenty taels of silver.
