"I said that this girl from the Mei family is very powerful, if anyone marries her, it will be a blessing! Don't say you can dye cloth, do you know who supplied most of the big boss's goods this year? It's that Mei family! ”

"It turns out to be this Mei family! Tsk, that's amazing! This year, because the Mei family intervened, the prices of mountain goods on the market have increased by 20%. ”

"But no, you know Boss Qian? Even he can't do anything about the Mei family! ”

"I've heard that Boss Qian hired someone to deal with the Mei family, but the girl of the Mei family doesn't know how to get to know Boss Qian's wife, do you know? Boss Qian's wife is now pressing Boss Qian, and people have released their words, saying that the Qian family will not compete with the Mei family for business in the future......"

……

When Mei Changan heard this, his heart jumped, Qian family, of course he knew, it was a tyrant in Shiqiao Town, how could it be?

After listening to the news of these mountain goods dealers, Mei Changan's face was still like a spring breeze, but he was a little cautious in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the Mei family is now in the mountain goods business, and being able to sit on an equal footing with the Qian family proves that this business is not small!

Mei Changan's heart was hot.

I can't wait to put on my wings and fly back to Lingshan Village, this is the first time he is so eager to go back after showing off his talent from the exam.

Because he was afraid that everyone in Shiqiao Town would recognize him, he simply hired a carriage in Jing County and hurried to Lingshan Village.

Along the way, the pampered Jin Hai complained about the bumps, and was dissatisfied with why he had to drive hundreds of miles this year and go back to that poor ravine for the New Year.

Mei Changan's plan, the Qian family knew in his heart, but he didn't dare to tell Jin Hai, and only vaguely asked her to endure it for a few days.

Finally arrived at Lingshan Village, as soon as Mei Changan entered the village, he was about to tell the coachman how to go, when he lifted the curtain, he saw a bunch of children playing at the entrance of the village.

Seeing that there was a carriage entering the village, it was not the one from the Mei family, and the children surrounded them curiously.

There was someone who didn't deal with the Mei family's children, so he deliberately said: "Tianbao, you see that this carriage is much better than your family." ”

The leopard raised his head and faced the king

Chang'an's face was stunned.

The children of the Zhuang family are sensible early, especially after so many things have happened in the Mei family this year, the leopard is no longer the leopard before, although there are still some gluttonies, but they are all small problems.

Mei Xiaotong usually doesn't hide anything from the children at home, only lets them observe, but does not allow them to go out to talk about it.

In addition, the two major events of his father's injury and his mother's return to his parents' house have always been remembered in Tianbao's heart, but because life was better later, no one mentioned it.

Seeing Mei Chang'an this time, Tianbao immediately remembered that his father was almost killed by the liar brought back by this smiling second uncle.

All of a sudden, his eyes were red.

But he is still clever, knowing that the return of this second uncle is a big deal,

He ran home, and he had to tell his father and mother to go with his aunt.

The leopard ran fast, and Mei Changan directly ordered the coachman: "Follow that child and arrive." ”

In the carriage, Qian said dissatisfiedly: "It's really unruly, I didn't even say hello when I saw you!" ”

Mei Changan glared at Qian.

What do you do, and you don't have any points in your heart? Still want people to say hello to you? It's good not to hit it with a brick.

The carriage followed the leopard, turning around, but Mei Changan watched the leopard arrive at the gate of the courtyard, and he didn't stop, he ran straight forward, shouting while running: "Dad, aunt - something is wrong-"

His face darkened suddenly, and he forgot to remind the coachman to stop.

The carriage followed all the way to a large courtyard.

Stone walls, green tiles, wooden doors.

The walls are painted with white lime, and they are snow-white, and they look like newly built houses.

Then he saw the leopard slipping into the courtyard.

Mei Changan immediately realized, could it be that this is the newly built courtyard of the Mei family?

Immediately, his heart pounded, because he was still uncertain, he didn't let Qian and Jin Hai get out of the carriage.

He jumped out of the carriage and tentatively wanted to go up the steps and push the door to see. Unexpectedly, the little clever ghost of the leopard ran into the yard and bolted the gate.

Mei Changan didn't push it away, so he had to reluctantly retreat down the steps, looking around, trying to find someone to ask.

No one was found, but I heard a commotion in the courtyard and the screams of people.

After a while, the door opened, and Mei Xiaoque's brothers, with their daughters-in-law and children, rushed out violently.

When I saw Mei Changan, my eyes were red.

Mei Changan seemed to be fine, and Si Swen saluted Mei Xiaoque: "Big brother, are you well?" ”

As soon as Zhou saw Mei Changan's appearance, the anger rushed up, this shameless bastard almost killed his own family, but he still has the face to come back?

"Wang Lao Er, you white-eyed wolf, do you still have the face to come back? Do you still have the face to call big brother? Zhou saw that Mei Xiaoque was so angry that the tendons in his neck burst out, but he still endured it and didn't do it, so he couldn't help it first.

Mei Changan's face darkened: "Sister-in-law, where do you start, my eldest brother will always be my eldest brother, I-"

"Shut up! Second, what are you doing here? Come back and see if my big brother is dead? Then I'm sorry, your eldest brother is hard, not as you wished, still alive! Mei Xiaoque roared.

"Big brother—"

"Don't call me big brother! I'm not as ruthless as you, for the sake of the future, for the sake of silver, the younger brother who ignores his father, mother, brothers and sisters! Mei Xiaoque's eyes were red and she stared at Mei Changan.

Mei Changqing in the back hurriedly echoed: "That's it!" You are a traitor to our Mei family, my father and mother have said it, just treat it as if you have never given birth to a white-eyed wolf little beast like you! Wang Lao Er, Wang Lao Er, you really don't

It's a thing, worse than that brute! Why do you still have the face to stand in front of our Mei family? And the face back? ”

No matter how good Mei Changan's demeanor is, he can't stand being scolded by Mei Changqing for scolding the white-eyed wolf little beast like this.

Suddenly, his face changed.

Just as he was about to speak, "Smack-" A shoe smashed into his face, and there was a smell of feet, so that Mei Changan almost didn't vomit.

The shoe hit his nose just now, it hurt and stinked, and all the tears and snot came out at once.

Then I heard a familiar voice: "You little brute still dare to come back?" Okay, good to come back! See that the old lady doesn't break your legs, you ungrateful thing-"

I saw Mrs. Li call the crowd, holding a thin bamboo pole in her hand, and pumped it at Mei Changan without a head.

Mei Changan was smashed by a shoe and didn't come back to his senses, and he was beaten like a storm by Mrs. Li, where can she take care of the temperament of a scholar and the frame of a talented person.

He screamed and jumped and tried to dodge, but his experience in beating was very rare, like bronze.

Mrs. Li is experienced in pumping people, and she is a king in life.

On this pair, no matter how much he tried to dodge, he couldn't avoid the bamboo pole that followed him like a shadow, and he was directly crushed.

Mei Changan has never been beaten like this since he was a child, he will study when he is young, and his family has high hopes for it, and he can't wait to hold it to the sky.

Mrs. Li has smoked several other brothers, but he, Mrs. Li has never played a nail on him.

At Mr., he was highly qualified and hardworking, and Mr. only praised him, and he never tasted the taste of a handboard.

This is in his thirties, the first time he was beaten, his skin is delicate and tender, and he really can't stand it.

Qian and Jin Hai in the car were startled, hiding in the carriage and shivering.

They had seen Mrs. Li scolding and beating people before, but it was someone else, not their own family, and they all watched it as a good show at that time.

Now that it's the turn of his man and his father, he has new fears.

Mei Changan was so pumped that he was about to doubt his life, and none of the Mei family members standing next to him came up to pull Mrs. Li's son, they all stood by and watched.

Mei Changqing deliberately blocked Mei Chang'an's way when he was about to dodge.

Finally, a few children applauded and cheered on the side.

The atmosphere was very warm.

Mei Changgui stood beside Mei Xiaotong and looked at it for a while, and said in a low voice: "Mother is so smiling...... You okay? "That second brother, he can't shout anymore.

Mei Xiaotong nodded thoughtfully: "I think something will happen-"

After speaking, he shouted to Mrs. Li: "Mother, are your hands tired?" Why don't you take a break and I'll smoke it for you? ”

Liu Xiaoqiao laughed out loud on the side.

Mrs. Li's cat spent the winter in the house during this time, and the family is getting more and more fine, and she doesn't have to serve the old man, too

Don't worry about the children, you can't be idle every day.

I was finally able to move my body and bones, where would I stop.

"Girl, don't worry, my mother is not tired! Mother has the strength to look at this little beast, and she can pump him for half an hour! "It's full of energy.

Mei Xiaotong put her mind at ease.

Seeing the smile on the corner of her mouth, An Huahao could see that she was in a very good mood, and couldn't help curling her lips, and whispered to Mei Xiaotong's ear: "You and your aunt have been muttering every day for the past few days, aren't you just waiting for this moment?" ”

Mei Xiaotong turned her head and smiled, "Of course! Otherwise, where do you think the thin bamboo pole in my mother's hand came from? ”

When Liu Xiaoqiao heard this, he suddenly realized.

Why did she go to report the news, her mother-in-law's first reaction was not to put on shoes, but to pick up the thin bamboo pole placed next to her.

It turned out that he had been prepared for a long time?

Thinking of my sister-in-law's previous strong request to completely separate the family years ago, this is the news that Mei Changan is coming back for a long time?

At that time, I suspected that there must be something in it, otherwise my sister-in-law would not be so anxious.

I see.

Liu Xiaoqiao was convinced, and he didn't have any other thoughts.

Qian and Jin Hai in the car listened to Mei Changan's screams, they couldn't help it, they got out of the car tremblingly, and knelt aside to ask for mercy: "Mother, mother, don't beat the official, just be angry and send it to me!" The official is a showman, if this breaks his face, how can he go out to meet people in the future-"

When Mrs. Li heard it, she looked at it again, but no, she smoked the little beast of the second child for a long time, and he didn't care about anything, so he covered his face.

What is a man, not a woman, doing with his face?

Hearing Qian chirping on the side, he suddenly became angry.

The second little beast is not a thing, what is the Qian family good about? Since marrying into the Mei family, I haven't enjoyed a day of her service, and I always put on a delicate and weak look.

It's just the girl in the grocery store in the town, so can you really think that you are the eldest lady?

After getting married, he instigated the second child to move to the town, and later simply took his father-in-law and mother-in-law to the county town to live a good life.

Their own money was sent to their families like running water, and they were fed by their families.

When I came back, I picked my nose and my eyes.

In the past, for the sake of the face of the second little brute, I was too lazy to care.

Now that she has smoked the second child, Qian took the initiative to ask to be beaten, what else to say?

Back then, they were satisfied with the silver and food, but now they have to draw it, and they must be even more satisfied!

At the moment, he didn't chase Mei Chang'an, and turned around directly to see that it was drawn on Qian's back.

Before Qian's bamboo pole hit him, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

Jin Hai screamed in fright: "Mother-"

Mrs. Li said angrily:

"What are you shouting, the old lady hasn't smoked yet-"

No matter how angry she is, Mrs. Li is still measured, Wang Lao'er, that little brute, crawled out of his stomach, and he deserved to die.

But the Qian family is from someone else's family, so he can't do it.

So just make a gesture to scare it.

Unexpectedly, Qian is not reused, and he was scared like that before he smoked it.

Let's say that Mei is loyal, he now eats every day, and goes to the old house to teach the carpenter the craft.

Every day when I see Mei Yongzhen and wood, I eat some coarse tea and light rice, Mei Yongzhen drinks porridge, and wood eats some steamed buns with pickles.

Fortunately, in the vegetable garden behind the old house, there are cabbage, radishes, garlic sprouts and the like.

Mei Zhongzhong has eaten breakfast or lunch several times, watching her eldest daughter and grandson eat so shabby, and Mei's family table now has meat or eggs at every meal.

I couldn't help but feel distressed: "Isn't there meat?" Why don't you make it and eat it? A man of such a size as wood should also eat some meat to make up for it. ”

Mei Yongzhen is particularly bad

Immortal Song

Meaning: "Dad, now the food and vegetables we eat here are all given by the family, and if we can give us these, we will be quite content." Besides, this is much stronger than before in the Sun family, as long as you can eat enough every day. I'll keep the meat and eat it during the New Year, and I'll eat it now, what will I eat for the New Year? ”

Mei Zhongzhong looked at the house, in the past few days, he took advantage of the free time, and for the eldest daughter and grandson, he first made two boxes and then a table.

The room was empty except for the cover on the kang and a box.

It's not a taste in my heart.

It's just that now if he brings things from home to come here, I'm afraid that his son and daughter-in-law will also have opinions.

After thinking about it, he simply excused himself every day by saying that he wanted to teach wood craftsmanship, the weather was cold, and it was uncomfortable to walk around after eating, and blow a cold wind in his stomach.

Ask to bring some meat or two eggs to the old house every morning after breakfast.

Who can't see that Mei Zhongzhong is going to stick to the eldest daughter?

Zhou muttered a few words, and Mei Zhongzhong insisted that he wanted to eat it. I also asked, is it now that the family is separated, the father can't even eat some eggs and meat?

What else can I do? The Mei family is not short of this thing now, so they just go with him.

Mei Zhongzhong is finally measured, and he only eats one person every day.

Then at noon, I ate at the old house, which was regarded as making up for the eldest daughter and grandson.

So Mei Zhongzhong really didn't know that Mei Chang'an was back, and Mei's family forgot to notify him for a while, or rather, those who were interested in it deliberately didn't notify him.

However, Mei Yongzhen's health has gradually improved in the past few days, and seeing that the sky is almost dark, she went to the backyard to pull some radishes and plan to make dinner.

As a result, when I walked to the backyard, I heard a child talking by the courtyard wall, and I was in a trance talking about the second child of the Mei family

, that Xiucai old man is back!

Mei Yongzhen was taken aback, and she couldn't care about pulling the radishes, so she ran to the house in three steps and two steps: "Dad, Dad, I heard that the second child is back?" ”

The planer in Mei Zhongzhong's hand fell to the ground, "What are you talking about?" The second brute is back? ”

Speaking of the second Mei Chang'an, Mei Zhongzhong mentioned him at this moment, naturally he was a belly of fire, and he still had the face to come back?

Thinking so, he shook his hand and rushed home.

Mei Yongzhen was also busy following behind, and Sun Mu had no choice, so he had to lock the door and catch up.

When Mei Zhongzhong arrived, it was the time when Mrs. Li wanted to scare the Qian family.

hurriedly shouted: "Old woman, you can't smoke-" This own son and daughter can be beaten casually, but other people's daughters can't be beaten.

As soon as the words fell, I saw that everyone present looked at Mei Zhongzhong.

The location chosen by the Mei family this time was a little off, and no one lived nearby, so even if there was a commotion, only people were vaguely watching nearby, and they didn't come closer.

Mei Zhongzhong approached with a calm face, and didn't say anything yet.

The coachman next to him couldn't help it: "I said this talented man, everyone, if you want to fight, you have to rest." I've already sent you there, shouldn't the money for this car be settled? It's getting late, so take your things off quickly, and I'll have to rush back." ”

Qian on the side got up at this time, "Okay, let's move things down immediately." ”

I wanted to climb into the carriage, but my legs and feet trembled and I couldn't climb up.

The coachman couldn't look past it, so he moved the bags and two big boxes of Mei Changan's family.

Immortal Song

Then Qian took out the money, settled the account, and the coachman turned the head of the car and left.

Mei Zhongzhong said: "What are you doing when you come back?" At the beginning, you sold all the land in your family for the sake of your future, no matter whether your father and mother live or die, we will also treat you as if you died outside, and never gave birth to a son like you! What are you doing now? ”

said this, but couldn't help but look at Mei Changan.

I haven't seen it for half a year, but it's still the same, but it's just that it's not the same as before.

The clothes on the body look like silk, and there is a jade pendant hanging on the waist, the most important thing is that the momentum, which is different from usual, has a feeling of being an official.

Not to mention the Qian family and Jin Hai, although they were crying on the side, their mother and daughter were also wearing silk and satin, with gold and silver on their heads, and they looked like an official wife and a young lady.

It is more generous than the families of those rich families in the town that Mei Zhong has seen.

I couldn't help muttering in my heart, could it be that the second child went out with the family's money, and he really became famous?

Thinking like this, his expression eased the cool breeze.

Mei Changan saw that Mei Zhongzhong was coming, and without saying a word, he knelt down on his knees with tears in his eyes.

"Dad, mother! The son is not filial! Unfilial son has come back to excuse you! ”

After speaking, he knocked his head three times first.
