Chapter 191: After all these years
Mei Xiaotong nodded, fortunately, the Wen family was tough at this time, and it was not in vain that the family supported her, but she stood up.
"Then it's decided, third brother, after Dr. Liu comes to see the injury of this widow Sun in a while, if it's okay, let's pay a little silver to this widow Sun, even if it's clear." Third brother, you can go with Widow Sun, don't come back in the future, our Mei family will not have you in the future. ”
When Mei Changqing heard this, he panicked, is this going to be serious? Not to scare yourself?
There was a look of struggle on his face, and he shouted, "No, I'm not leaving, I said it, I won't leave when I come back." Dad, mother, you won't leave if you drive me! I still have to honor you two elders, old sister, how good the third brother used to be to you, why did you become so ruthless? Are you going to drive the third brother out? Old sister, the third brother can't stand you, you are so ruthless, you will have no children to send your father and mother to the end of the future, what are you doing here? ”
On the one hand, he kept glancing at Mei Xiaotong, and the hand beside him pointed to Widow Sun who was lying on the ground unconscious.
Mei Xiaotong's eyes moved, and he glanced at him suspiciously, and saw that Mei Changqing's eyes were about to squeeze out.
"Dad, mother, let's do it, I don't think it's a matter of putting Sun Niangzi on the ground and lying down, she is not our family, it is not suitable in Daddy's house, why don't you put it outside?" Mei Xiaotong said tentatively.
Mei Changqing's eyes flashed with joy, but he immediately lowered his head, rubbed to Mei Zhongzhong's side, and wanted to hug Mei Zhongzhong's legs, "Dad, when will it be the turn of the old sister to call the shots in our family?" Dad, I am your son, and I will give you a son who will support you in the future, how can you kick me out because of a few words from my old sister? I don't have any other requirements, I just want to take a concubine, I don't want the family to spend a penny, and Ah Fu also brings back a family fortune to the family, such a good thing, why don't you have to get along with the money? ”
Mrs. Li kicked Mei Changqing's heart with one kick, "Get out, take this plague fox spirit of yours, get out immediately, and say that your old sister is not good, see that I don't break your dog's legs, and then let you go." Throw this plague vixen to the old lady and put it in the carriage in the courtyard outside. ”
Helpless, Mei Xiaoque and Zhou had no choice but to step forward and work together to carry Widow Sun to the carriage in the courtyard, and the people didn't dare to go away, for fear that something would happen, so they waited by the carriage and waited for Tianlong to invite Old Doctor Liu.
Several children were also coaxed into the yard by Mei Xiaotong, leaving Wen alone.
After everyone cleared the scene, Mei Xiaotong spoke, "Third brother, let's say, you have to keep this widow, what is your idea?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Mei Changqing didn't hold Mei Zhongzhong's leg and cried anymore, turned over and sat up, and gave Mei Xiaotong a thumbs up, "My little sister still understands me!" ”
Now, not only Mrs. Li and Mei Zhongzhong saw that there was something greasy in this, but even Wen, who had been crying silently, felt that something was wrong.
They all looked at Mei Changqing.
Mei Changqing whispered her calculations one by one.
At first, Widow Sun paid for him to relieve the siege, and he only thought that Widow Sun was kind, but later Widow Sun wanted to take him to his home to heal, so he chuckled in his heart.
After so many years outside, he has never seen a thousand, but he has seen eight hundred.
The first reaction was whether Widow Sun had taken a fancy to him? But when I think about it, I have no money, what else can I cheat? Besides, he was penniless, he was injured again, and it was difficult for him to go home.
Since this widow can live and recuperate from her injuries, what are you afraid of? I have a cheap life, and I can't guarantee who will suffer in the end.
Especially listening to those gossips all the way, he still wondered in his heart whether Widow Sun was lonely and unbearable, and he took a fancy to himself, he didn't suffer a loss, he had a dewy feeling, and after healing from his injury, he broke up.
After arriving at Widow Sun's house, Widow Sun was so gentle and careless, and she was comfortable to serve Mei Changqing.
The more Mei Changqing enjoyed, the more vigilant he became.
It didn't take long for Widow Sun to show that she wanted to go back to the countryside with him, and he was also single, only saying that he already had a wife and children at home, what were he going to do when he went back? It's better for the two of them to stay in the county and be a ready-made couple.
Widow Sun was stunned at first, and then she said that she couldn't stay in the county anymore, and her reputation was ruined, and now she wanted to be good, and she could follow Mei Changqing back to the countryside as a concubine, and promised to sell the house in the county seat, and bring all her life savings back to Mei's house.
The more promises this makes, Mei Changqing knows that he is afraid that Widow Sun will plot more, and there is nothing to think about in himself.
The second child has a bad reputation in the county, and people don't know where to go, could it be that he is the second child's enemy, and he can't find the second child, so he wants to find revenge on the Mei family? This is Mei Changqing's speculation.
In those days, in addition to coaxing the widow at home, I took the opportunity to go out to gamble and drink every day, and I inquired without a trace.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for me to hear the news of the Mei family, the most important thing is that the auspicious cloth line, Widow Sun mentioned this several times in her words, and said how good the cloth was.
He thought about it and inquired secretly, okay, the cloth shop sells cloth that is said to be dyed by his own sister? I heard that I got the reward of the lady in the palace, oops, my old sister is a big deal.
Mei Changqing was not stupid, and her heart was immediately like a mirror, knowing that this widow Sun was only afraid that she was staring at her sister's dye recipe.
He has been out for many years, and he is also clear about these methods, knowing that there must be someone behind this widow Sun, if a widow Sun is exposed, I am afraid that there will be more tricks to deal with the Mei family in the future.
Simply, it is better for him to agree to Widow Sun, take this woman under his nose, and take it back to the countryside when the time comes, and sign the paperwork of taking a concubine.
Not to mention, when the time comes, you will have to inject money for nothing.
slept in vain with such a sign widow, and after all the calculations, she earned it herself.
After making up her mind, Mei Changqing coaxed Widow Sun in her mouth, and the two sold the small courtyard in the county seat, cleaned up the soft furniture that Widow Sun had accumulated, bought all kinds of gifts for the family, hired a carriage, and came back in a hurry.
Mei Changqing thought that he was also rich, but he was just taking a concubine, even if the family did not agree, he was beaten desperately, first got people in, and then explained to the family.
I never thought that his family was so opposed, if he persisted, he was afraid that he would really be kicked out of the house, so he had to reveal the truth.
Don't talk about others, Mei Zhongzhong was relieved when she heard it, as long as it wasn't her son who was really disobedient and unfilial, it was easy to say.
Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong exchanged glances.
Mei Xiaotong shook her head, motioned to Mrs. Li not to speak, and said herself, "Third brother's heart, I got it!" But the third brother can rest assured, she can't steal this recipe. I didn't have to let an outsider enter the family because of this, which hurt the third sister-in-law's heart, but it was mine. ”
Fang Zi has long been put in the storage box by her, and no one can take it away, as for the person behind the idea, he doesn't dare to come openly, he must have scruples, one is in the light and the other is in the dark, which is a headache.
Reason told her that it was the most worry-free way to leave Widow Sun behind, and then follow the vine to find out the instigator behind her.
But she couldn't!
You can't let Wen get hurt because of this.
How innocent is Wen? What's more, this is also one of Mei Changqing's excuses, compared with Widow Sun, Wen's is the burnt roll, the yellow-faced woman in the family, where is the Widow Sun charming.
Mei Changqing must be reluctant to give up this mouthful of fat, just killing two birds with one stone, the family can accept his love, and he can get a little wife for nothing.
Mrs. Li naturally knows the virtues of her sons, and the third child's abacus, she can also see it clearly, is this a favor for his daughter and the family?
Bah! Therefore, Mei Xiaotong refused, and she didn't say anything.
However, Mei Zhongzhong was a little hesitant, he was not greedy for the wealth of the widow Sun, but he just felt that if he sent the widow Sun away and annoyed the people behind him, what would he do if he attacked the Mei family? It's better to keep it, what can a woman do?
When Mei Changqing heard that Mei Xiaotong actually refused, his eyes widened, "Sister, are you-" A stupid word was swallowed by him.
After struggling for a long time, he spoke again, "If you drive away Ah Fu, no one knows what tricks will be behind you?" Where is there a thousand days to prevent thieves? Besides, leaving this Ah Fu, we have to inject silver for nothing, and there are people to serve our parents, with this Ah Fu, we can free up our hands to find the people behind her? ”
While looking at Mrs. Li, "Dad, mother, my sister doesn't understand the Tao here, we can't let her, who knows if we drive away Ah Fu, will we annoy the people behind, and what will we do to our family when the time comes?" ”
This was said to Mei's loyal heart.
"The third child is very worried, but a widow, let's just look at her more-"
Mei Xiaotong categorically refused: "I don't agree!" You can't do that! Speaking of which, everyone has benefited, the third brother has a concubine for nothing, and other people's money, I don't have to worry about what means the people behind me will use, and the family is not worried about leakage. But have you ever considered the feelings of your third sister-in-law and several children? If Widow Sun stays, she and the child will be hurt the most? I'd rather someone take these recipes than do this kind of thing! ”
In this matter, what should Wen and the children do?
If the widow really wants to stay, it will be easy for God to send God.
Wen's tears welled up all of a sudden, and she looked at Mei Xiaotong gratefully.
As soon as Mei Changqing's words were finished, her heart was cold, and she already knew that she was afraid that Widow Sun was going to stay.
objected before, and it could be said that he was afraid that Mei Changqing would be stunned by the fox spirit outside, but now, under the guise of Mei Changqing's good family, this concubine will not be kept.
I never thought that it was my sister-in-law who stood up and defended her, thinking about her and the children.
Speaking of Wen's no one is distressed, but when it comes to children, Mei Zhongzhong also choked.
Mei Changqing's eyes rolled, knowing that the most important thing in this matter was Wen's attitude.
If Wen agreed, even if his father and mother objected, there was no way.
He came to Wen's side with a hippie smile, "Xiaolian, you have heard it too, I still care about your mother and son, then Ah Fu is just an outsider, a bad woman sent to our house to steal the recipe, where can I really like her?" I'm just lying to her, and my lady will always be you. ”
Wen bowed his head and said nothing.
Mei Xiaotong couldn't bear to look at it directly, but unfortunately, at this time, she didn't have much to say, so she had to walk to Mrs. Li for comfort.
Mrs. Li patted Mei Xiaotong's hand and watched Mei Changqing flicker Wen with cold eyes.
She has already supported Wen's now, showing her attitude, and her daughter has also shown that she would rather Fangzi be stolen than let Wen be wronged.
This mother-in-law, as a sister-in-law, has done her best to be benevolent and righteous.
If Wen's brain is still innocent, and she is coaxed into agreeing by the third dog's two words, then she deserves to be cheap, and no one can control her.
Mei Xiaotong also has this idea, and now it only depends on how Wen chooses.
Mei Changqing saw that her father and sister were staring at the couple and knew that some things were not easy to say, so she dragged Wen to the cubicle inside, not knowing what she muttered, and it took a long time for Mei Changqing to pull Wen back.
Mei Xiaotong now has a keen senses, and it is obvious that Wen's face is much more ruddy, and her hair is a little messy......
Looking at Mei Changqing again, he was already proud.
"Daddy, Xiaolian, she agreed! I just said that Xiaolian is a good woman, and she is willing to suffer some grievances for the sake of our family-"
"Get out of the way for the old lady, Wen, you said it yourself, do you really agree? You must know that it is easy for this widow to enter the door, but it will be difficult to get rid of it when the time comes. Mrs. Li finally reminded.
Wen's face was red, but his eyes were sad, "Mother, I'm ...... I...... Agree ......"
"Idiot!" Mrs. Li couldn't help but scold.
Mei Xiaotong also sighed and shook her head.
Wen's face turned white after being scolded, and he knelt in front of Mrs. Li, "Mother, I know that my mother is disappointed in me, my father and mother and little sister protect me so much, and I still don't know how to do it!" It's me who has failed my father and little sister! ”
"You-" Mrs. Li didn't even have the strength to scold.
It was Mei Changqing who knelt down busily, "Mother, don't scold Xiaolian, she is all for me, for this family-"
"Get out—"
At this time, if it weren't for Tianlong knocking on the door outside, saying that he had invited Old Doctor Liu, I was afraid that Mrs. Li would really break Mei Changqing's legs.
Old Doctor Liu came in and looked at the Mei family with different faces in the courtyard, and was invited to the carriage by the Zhou family with a bitter face.
When Mei Changqing heard the movement, he didn't care about anything else, so he hurried out of the back room and stayed next to the carriage.
Old Doctor Liu checked the pulse of Sun Niangzi and pinched her middle among people.
Sun Niangzi woke up slowly, and cried out sadly, "San Lang...... Am I dead or not? ”
Chu Chu is pitiful, and the pear blossom is in tears.
It's not cute.
Mei Changqing squeezed into the carriage and half-hugged her in her arms, "I'm not dead, Ah Fu, don't worry, with me here, how can I be willing to let you die?" ”
"Saburo ......"
Sun Niangzi sighed, and she was miserable, frightened and pitiful, and performed vividly.
Old Doctor Liu heard about the evil things of Lao Mei's family on the way here, and when he saw this situation again, even if he was a lot older, he felt panicked. "It's just that the forehead is scratched with a little skin, put it in our country, don't worry about it, it's fine in two or three days, as long as you pay attention not to get wet."
Zhou really couldn't hold back, "Isn't it just a little broken?" It's like you're dead! The vixen is hypocrisy! ”
……
Mei Zhongzhong also came out of the back room, opened his mouth to express his gratitude, and asked the old doctor Liu how much he wanted.
Old Doctor Liu only felt that the atmosphere of the Mei family was panicked, and he only needed a visit fee.
Then, no one paid for it for a while, Mei Xiaoque looked embarrassed, and wanted to touch a few copper plates from the remaining money from the purchase of mountain goods, but was stopped by Mrs. Li who rushed out.
"That's the capital of collecting mountain goods, the deposit given by the big boss, why is it spent on this plague fox spirit? The plague god that the bastard brought back, let him pay for it himself! I want my mother to pay for it, phew! Not a single big son
! ”
Mei Changqing was helpless, took out the copper coin and gave it to the old doctor Liu, and sent the person away.
Turning around, Mrs. Li asked Mei Changqing for money, "Since you are so rich, you will pay for the gate that the plague god crashed ......."
Mei Changqing......
Sun Niangzi......
The people of Lao Mei's family......
As soon as Dr. Liu left, Mei Changqing hugged Sun Afu, "Afu, don't worry, Xiaolian agrees that you will stay in our house!" ”
What the?
The rest of the Mei family was dumbfounded, didn't the father and mother desperately prevent the fox spirit from entering the door?
Why did you say something behind closed doors? Why did Wen agree?
Zhou couldn't help but look at Wen with a little contempt in his eyes, it was really useless, his in-laws supported him, and he actually softened first and brought a fox spirit into the door.
If you change to her, don't dream, which woman dares to steal the house with herself and not scratch her face.
As soon as Xiaoque and Xiaojuan heard this, they immediately turned back to find the Wen family, how could the mother agree to the fox spirit entering the door?
In the back room, Wen was still standing there stunned, Mei Xiaotong sighed, "Third sister-in-law, why are you doing this?" ”
Wen's tears welled up all of a sudden, covering her face, she also wanted to refuse, but could she really refuse? She and Mei Changqing have been married for so many years, and they can be regarded as understanding.
Don't look at him pulling himself into the back room, saying that he is all for himself and his children, saying that the money he cheated of Widow Sun is for the children, so that the children will have money to study and earn in the future, so that she can live a good life. Say what you are sorry for, and make up for it in the future.
But what kind of man is Mei Changqing? If you don't reach your goal, you won't stop, at the beginning you can still coax you with a good voice, but if it doesn't work, it's a slamming the door and lifting the table, and then it doesn't work, it's a sneaky beating, all in a place where no one sees it and has no face to say.
If she really refuses, either the children will have no father, or afterwards, Mei Changqing will secretly settle accounts in private.
Especially if he still has such a good excuse and reason, now it is his in-laws and sister-in-law who support him, if he really refuses to do so, the family will lose the recipe in the future, will the in-laws and sister-in-law really not blame themselves? She didn't dare bet.
In this case, she might as well follow Mei Changqing's wishes, at least, the children still have a father, and she can also repay the kindness of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
As for himself, in fact, what is the difference between having Sun Afu or not?
Mei Xiaotong also guessed that Wen had difficulties and his own thoughts, so he could only sigh.
