Chapter 055: Disdain
"The Mei family's big house has always been at odds with your grandfather, I didn't expect to come forward to help you speak, I heard that Meiling is very short, it's really like that." Aunt Zhang said happily.
She said energetically, and seeing that Mei Qingqian didn't reply, her brows suddenly furrowed, "Qingqian, someone just said that you and Li Xun are leaving, isn't it true?" ”
Mei Qingqian knew that Aunt Zhang would be in a hurry, and hurriedly glanced at her, the two of them were talking on the village road at this time, and there were people not far away, so they couldn't show their stuffing.
Mei Qingqian took Aunt Zhang's hand, pinched her palm, and said in a sad manner: "The Mei family doesn't recognize me, and the elders in the village jointly drove us away, so we simply left cleanly, and we won't starve to death even if we are bitter outside." ”
Aunt Zhang already understood, but she didn't fully understand her intentions, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only sigh vigorously and say, "It's hard for you." ”
"Auntie, you go back first, I'll go to grandpa's house to have a look." Mei Qingqian said.
"Okay, okay." Aunt Zhang answered.
The grandfather in Mei Qing's shallow mouth is named Mei Ling, and he is Mei Shan's own brother. Meishan saved the emperor's relatives back then, and it can be said that he returned to his hometown in fine clothes, and later became the successor of the village chief after marrying his wife.
He was in the limelight at that time, so he wanted to continue the position of the patriarch of the Mei clan, but unfortunately Meishan's father still chose his eldest son Meiling as the patriarch.
The Mei family is not a big family, and when there was a disaster in the early years, the relatives were scattered all over the place, and the position of the patriarch existed in name only, and it was useless at all, but Meishan had a good face and felt that he had not been recognized by his father.
Later, after the family was separated, Meishan even started the house at the other end of the village, just to separate it from Meiling. Meiling is also stubborn, and the brothers often have the wrong nose and the wrong eyes when they meet.
Originally, the two brothers were vindictive, and the two families still had contacts, until more than ten years ago, I don't know what happened, the two completely fell out, and the family was not allowed to have any contact with each other, and even rarely greeted each other.
It was also because Meishan became the village head, Meiling didn't even be an elder, and later Meishan abdicated because of Meikang's gambling to make way for Xian, and was arranged by the new village head Zhang Ping'an to be an elder. Zhang Ping'an also wanted to arrange an elderly man for Meiling, so that the two brothers could reunite, but Meiling didn't accept it, saying that he disdained to be with Meishan.
In the memory of her predecessor, when she was a child, her grandfather would scold her grandfather when he drank alcohol, and she always felt that her grandfather was not a good person and would beat and scold children. As a result, one day she was kicked out by her grandmother to collect firewood, but she met Meiling.
She seemed to be only seven or eight years old at the time, and it was a little difficult to carry firewood, and she didn't want to walk and walk, so she felt more and more relaxed, and when she looked back, someone was helping her hold the firewood in the back.
When she saw clearly that it was Meiling, she was startled, and shouted to throw down the firewood to run, Meiling grabbed her and said, "The firewood is lost, aren't you afraid to go back and be scolded?" ”
It's true that I'll be scolded, so the predecessor hesitated. At this time, Meiling took out a piece of leaf candy and stuffed it to her, motioning for her to taste it.
She was scared at the time, but she had seen this kind of child's snack, and she couldn't help but pick up the leaves on the outside and put the candy in her mouth.
Sweet! She was happy, and felt that the grandfather didn't seem so terrible.
Mei Ling waved at her and turned to leave, his back was a little rickety, his hands behind his waist, looking very serious. But thinking about that candy again, the predecessor felt that grandpa was actually not so terrible.
It's just that she didn't dare to tell her family about this when she went home, if she let her grandfather know, she would definitely be furious, and her grandmother would beat and scold her.
