Chapter 184: Uninvited Guest
On the first day of the winter month, the Meng family ushered in an uninvited guest.
The person who came was the new patriarch of the Meng clan, this new patriarch was the cousin of the old patriarch who was killed by Meng Hao, and his father and the old patriarch's father were cousins of the same grandfather.
In order to avenge his parents, Meng Hao cleaned up all the old patriarchs and all the men who could handle them, and the position of patriarch was obtained by the new patriarch.
Before Su Shen was promoted in the examination, the new Meng patriarch had been in a wait-and-see state.
He neither helped the old patriarch's family, which was closer to him, nor did he help Meng Zhen and Meng Qi to administer justice.
And after Su Shen was lifted, his attitude changed a little subtly - he sent Su Shen a congratulatory gift to congratulate him on becoming a master.
Su Shen ignored him, no one saw him, and the gift was directly returned to him by Cedar.
The new Meng patriarch slipped back to the village, and then began to think about how Meng Hao would use Su Shen's current position to attack the Meng family next, and whether he, the new patriarch, would become Meng Hao's primary target.
He didn't know that Meng Hao's principle had always been to only punish evil, and he didn't know that Su Shen was too lazy to take care of him, but he didn't want him to climb up the pole.
Treating this kind of person who is a cold sidebrow and sees Meng Hao's sister and brother being treated unfairly, Su Shen doesn't want to talk about any "relatives" with them.
For this reason, Su Shen was also rejected by Meng Zhen's adoptive mother's maiden relatives.
Her relatives have also ignored Meng Zhen and Meng Qi over the years.
Again, Ninghai County is actually not big at all, and Meng Hao and Meng Qi have never tried to hide their tracks.
If those people really had Meng Zhen or Meng Qi as juniors in their hearts, they wouldn't have been like they didn't exist for so many years.
Now that Su Shen has a chance, these people immediately come up to climb relatives as if nothing had happened, and Su Shen is polite enough if he doesn't beat them out.
He didn't want these obviously ill-intentioned people to spoil Meng Zhen and Meng Qi's good mood.
His light, he only wants to be touched by those who are really good to them.
"Eldest niece..."Patriarch Meng had just said four words, and Su Shen had already put down the teacup in his hand lightly.
He didn't speak, just stared at Patriarch Meng with an indifferent face.
Patriarch Meng immediately realized that Su Shen was unhappy, his face changed a few times, and then he squeezed out a reluctant smile that was more ugly than crying, "Miss Meng, I came this time to tell you about the fields left by your father. ”
Meng Hao didn't give him a look, she looked at Patriarch Meng with a smile, "Patriarch Meng, please speak." ”
When Patriarch Meng heard this, he obviously didn't want to be related to them anymore.
He felt a pang of chagrin in his heart.
"That's it, my aunt and sister-in-law's orphaned widows' ......"
Patriarch Meng originally wanted to sell a miserable complaint, but Meng Hao didn't want to listen to his nonsense at all.
She smiled slightly, "Please also ask Patriarch Meng to get to the point directly, I don't have so much time to listen to you talk about people and things that have nothing to do with me." ”
Patriarch Meng choked.
At this moment, he wanted to leave with his sleeves up, but he was afraid that Su Shen would use his status and connections to make their Meng clan no longer have a place to stay.
In particular, he also wanted to send his youngest son to Bailu Academy, and with Su Shen's network in Bailu Academy, Patriarch Meng was afraid that Su Shen would stumble on his youngest son openly and secretly.
Originally, his youngest son was not a person who could read much, and Patriarch Meng didn't want to artificially increase the difficulty for him.
Even if Meng Hao and Su Shen hadn't made it clear that they didn't want to have anything to do with them, Patriarch Meng wanted Su Shen to help his youngest son get out of the relationship.
Under the low eaves, the elders of the Meng clan honestly bowed their heads and got down to business.
He briefly explained his intention, and Meng Hao realized that this goods originally wanted to use the fields left by her father in exchange for them not to deal with other Meng clansmen.
Meng Hao didn't know how this person forced the old patriarch's wife, brother-in-law, daughter-in-law, nephew, grandson, and nephew to take out the field, but Meng Zhen didn't want Su Shen to fall into the notoriety of "forcibly seizing other people's fields".
She put down the teacup, "I will buy the field back at the market price, and you let the person in charge of the two families wait for me tomorrow at the Yaren house where Sun Yaren is." ”
Patriarch Meng was surprised.
He never expected that the ready-made cheap Meng Hao would be willing to push it all out.
You must know that it took him a lot of effort to force the old patriarch's family to agree to return the land to the Meng Hao sisters and brothers.
Patriarch Meng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He took a lot of effort to do it, and even fell into the complaints and hatred of the two families.
But Meng Zhen was good, and she stupidly proposed to buy the land back.
What others occupied, she bought back with a lot of silver, is she not good at brains or is she deliberately unable to get along with him?
If she wants to be a good person, then she shouldn't make him, the head of the family, a villain!
Patriarch Meng had the heart to persuade a few more words, but Meng Zhen had already served tea to the guests.
The Meng clan was angry, but he didn't have the slightest idea about Meng Hao.
Helpless, this man had to hold back his anger and go back to arrange.
How did he know that Meng Zhen was only for Su Shen's innocent reputation.
Early the next morning, Patriarch Meng really took the grandson and nephew of the old patriarch to appear at the Ya shop where Sun Yaren was.
They were accompanied by all the daughters and children of the two families, who, although nominally the heads of the family, were not fully trusted by the ladies and brothers of the family because they were not very successful.
The two were obviously not very happy with the bunch of tails behind them, and they were also unhappy with the new Meng patriarch.
As Patriarch Meng expected, these people did hate him as the "nosy culprit" because he had forced them to spit out the fields they had gotten out before.
On the contrary, in front of Meng Hao, they didn't dare to show their true emotions too much.
Obviously, they also know that Meng Zhen is now someone they can't afford to mess with.
Meng Hao didn't pay attention to these men and women who looked aggrieved, and she didn't care about the two of the girls' eyes that stared straight at Su Shen.
Look, anyway, it is impossible for her family Ah Shen to have any good feelings for these two girls.
She went straight to Sun Yaren.
After Sun Yaren received the news from Cedar yesterday, he had already assessed Meng Zhen at a price according to the minimum standard of the market price.
In the end, Meng Hao bought the fields that the two families had occupied in the past that originally belonged to their family at a price of 2,500 taels.
These fields did not exist in a scattered manner, Meng Hao put all the Zhuangzi where they were located under Meng Qi's name, and after getting the red deed, Meng Hao gave Sun Yaren a silver ticket of fifty taels as a reward.
So far, all the properties left by her adoptive father and adoptive mother have been bought back by Meng Zhen.
