Therefore, after only a slight groan, he stepped forward and said: "We are now in the inn in Qicheng, and we invited the most famous doctor in Qicheng to show you, saying that Dad, you vomited and diarrhea, and you were bedridden and unconscious, which was the reason for being poisoned, and released a lot of black blood for you." ”

"Dad, if we guessed correctly, it was Mei Changan who put something in the food you ate that made you so sick. If we hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid you'd have died in a foreign land. ”

"Don't blame me for speaking directly and unpleasantly, this matter has to be counted in your heart, lest we work so hard to save you, and you still stubbornly only believe in Mei Changan."

"You...... Xiaotong, are you mistaken? Why does the second child want to hurt me? Poison me? I'm his own father! Mei Zhongzhong was a little unconvinced.

"You're really good and forgot the pain, when you stole the family's title deed, you didn't see him soften when he thought you were his father?" Mrs. Li sneered on the side.

"But doesn't he regret it? Didn't you take two hundred taels back to compensate? Mei Zhongzhong also became excited.

"You don't know yet, do you? What your good son got back was an invalid silver ticket, and he didn't deserve it at all! "Mrs. Li saw that Mei was loyal and had the heart to defend it, and she didn't care whether it was stimulating or not stimulating Mei Zhongzhong.

Mei Zhongzhong's face turned pale: "Then why does he want to harm me?" Why? He couldn't figure it out.

Even if the second child is for the money, but he is a father and does not hinder him, why do you want to harm yourself?

"That's because his so-called friends can't do it for a long time, and he can't go on with his life in Qicheng, so he used his crooked brain to give me to the county master as a concubine. But he also knew that I wouldn't come to Qicheng, so he coaxed your father to follow you to Qicheng, and then poisoned you and made you sick in bed before he had a chance to let me come. So I didn't come here this time, I guess the next step is to bring a letter to the family, saying that Dad, you are seriously ill and died. After Mei Xiaotong listened to what the doctor said about poisoning, she thought about it back and forth, and what else she didn't understand.

Mei Changan, as long as he can achieve his goal, he can sacrifice anything, what is his father?

Mei Zhongzhong didn't believe it in his mouth, but in fact, he knew in his heart that what his daughter said was only the truth.

Looking back carefully, it wasn't without warning, but he didn't pay attention to it.

Since the Chinese New Year, the second child has been saying that he wants to find a son-in-law of Xiaotong's official eunuch family, and then inquired about his daughter's affairs along the way.

Especially after arriving in Yongcheng, on the first night, the so-called famous roast duck in Qicheng. At that time, he ate a plate of roast duck alone.

The second child gave him a few pieces, saying that he had specially bought them for him to try.

Even Jin Hai and the Qian family's in-laws are not allowed to eat a piece.

But Mei Zhongzhong is still proud, this second child is distressed about himself, didn't he see a plate of ducks that were only reserved for himself to eat?

At that time, he politely said that one person couldn't finish eating, no

If everyone eats together, what does the second child say?

said that he bought it for himself, and he didn't honor himself for so many years, and this duck is not worthy of eating anyone except himself! I can't finish eating today, so I'll keep it hot for the next day.

Mei Zhongzhong was still complacent at that time, and was pleased with Mei Changan's filial piety.

Thinking about it at the moment, where is filial piety? It is obvious that there is something wrong with this duck, and it is prepared for himself alone, so he does not let them eat a bite.

Thinking of this, Mei Zhongzhong couldn't wait to give herself a slap in the face, why did she become like this? What an eye-catcher!

※※※

Let's talk about Mei Chang'an's side, Mei Xiaotong and the others let out a bad breath, took Mei Zhongzhong, and the family got into the carriage and left.

The old couple of the Qian family, who had been twisting in the yard, immediately stopped and helped the Qian family up first, and the Qian family couldn't help but hug the Qian family and cried: "My good girl, do you hurt?" God damn it, a plagued slut, such a black hand—"

Qian's father looked at him again, saw that his mother-in-law was looking at his daughter, and heard that there was no movement in the back room for a while, so he hurriedly rushed to the house.

Now that their family is relying on their son-in-law, Mei Changan is really going to have something happen, what can this family do?

When I entered the house in fear, I saw Mei Changan, who had always been very upright in front of them, lying on the ground in embarrassment at the moment, her face pale, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolling down her forehead.

His right hand drooped in a strange posture, his left hand barely supported the wrist of his right hand, and his robe was soaked in such a cold day, and his whole body was still shivering......

Qian's father didn't dare to look at it more, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Son-in-law?" Are you okay? Do you want to get a doctor back? ”

As he spoke, he carefully helped Mei Changan up.

accidentally touched Mei Changan's right hand, he screamed miserably, and pushed away Qian's father with his left hand: "Didn't you see that my hand was broken?" Still stunned to do something? Why don't you go and ask a doctor? ”

Qian's father was stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses and nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the doctor right away-" turned around and was about to go out.

was pulled back by Mei Changan again: "Wait a minute, change the wet clothes on my body for me." ”

Qian's father hurriedly turned back and changed Mei Chang'an's clothes.

Where did he wear clothes for others, plus the clothes were soaked and wrapped around his body, it was really difficult to take off.

Awkwardly, I touched Mei Changan's injuries and broken wrists several times, which made Mei Changan break out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but complain a few more words. Originally, he was in a bad mood, and his tone was even worse.

Qian's father finally changed Mei Changan's clothes, and then hurriedly went out.

Seeing that his daughter was still lying on the ground and couldn't move, his mother-in-law could only hold and howl, and the golden hairpin next to him would only wipe her tears on the side, and she didn't use anything at the critical moment.

Angry, he stomped his feet and stepped forward

Qian carried him to the house and lay down on the kang, and let his mother-in-law and Jin Hai go in to take care of him, and then hurriedly went out to ask for a doctor.

He knew that the situation at home was not good now, and he didn't dare to ask the doctor from Ping'an Hall to come to see him, because the consultation fee of one or two silver was too expensive.

only found the doctor that Mei Changan invited before.

Not long after the doctor arrived home, he was invited again, and he had a plan in mind.

When I arrived at Mei's house, I saw that only Mei Changan's family was left, and the sturdy girl, the man and the patient who had invited her before, were gone, and she didn't ask much.

Especially when I saw Mei Changan's wrist, the drooping angle looked like it was interrupted by someone with external force, where did I dare to ask more.

After hurriedly bandaging the wound, he was prescribed some pain relief and medicine.

was invited to the side to see the Qian family.

Qian's skin injuries were all skin injuries, which looked scary, but in fact, there was nothing serious, and he also prescribed some smeared medicine, collected the consultation fee and asked for money, and the doctor hurriedly said goodbye.

In addition to the gate of the Mei family's small courtyard, the doctor wiped the sweat on his head, and swore in his heart that if there were any more patients in the Mei family in the future, no matter how high the price was, he would not come.

The doctor was sent away, and the yard was cleaned up by Qian's father.

Now Qian is lying in bed and can't get up, it's almost noon, the family hasn't even eaten breakfast, and Jin Hai is hungry.

Helpless, Qian's mother could only cook, and Qian's father gave her a hand.

The old couple sat in the stove house, looking at each other with sad faces.

When Qian Shiniang talked about the Mei family, she gritted her teeth: "Our daughter will be beaten in vain?" ”

Qian's father was calmer: "When a mother-in-law cleans up her daughter-in-law, what can you say?" It's all in vain! I'm just worried, now in this situation in this family, my son-in-law's wrist has been broken, what can I do in the future? The scholar has broken his hand and can't write, what will our family live on in the future? ”

Hearing what her man said, Qian's mother was also worried: "If there is no income in this family, it will not be successful, so you can't sit and eat empty, right?" I knew that today, even if I killed Ruyue's dead girl, I couldn't let her marry Mei Changan! Look at today's posture, his daughter-in-law was beaten like this by her mother outside, he was a man, and he hid in the house and didn't come out! ”

"If there is really something in the future, can you really count on him?"

Qian's father hurriedly pounced and covered Qian's mother's mouth: "You want to die!" This is also nonsense? Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, marry a broom and walk between them. It's been more than ten years since my daughter married her son-in-law, and Jin Hai, how bad is it for people to hear this? ”

Although he was also dissatisfied in his heart, Mei Changan used to put on a shelf in front of them, but today's attitude, although he reminded himself rationally, his son-in-law was in a bad mood, so he was like this.

But he is also his serious father-in-law, and the net worth of the family is pressed on Mei Changan, so it is really difficult to turn his face, so he has to endure it

。

Everyone was in a bad mood, so they made some food and beckoned everyone to come out to eat.

Mei Changan has regained his calm at this moment, and the calm is a little terrifying, and he didn't dare to make a sound when he saw the Qian family's father and mother and Jin Hai's atmosphere.

casually took two bites, Mei Changan couldn't take it at home, so he went out with his arm in his arms.

Go straight to the county office.

The person guarding the back door of the county government still remembers Mei Changan, and knows that Mei Changan has been getting close to the county magistrate in the past few days, and there is vague news in the inner house that Mei Changan's sister-in-law is going to marry the county master as a second room.

Where do you dare to slack off, one went in to report the news, and the other accompanied Mei Xiaotong to the front yard to find Gao Jin.

Gao Jin chatted with the old Zhuhuang lady for the first half last night, and was so noisy by the lady in the second half of the night that he couldn't sleep, so he simply went to sleep with the niece who was finally accepted, but what he had been thinking about was a glimpse of yesterday.

Mei Changan is the kind of man who is exceptionally handsome, and he used to see that he did things well, but unfortunately his reputation was tarnished.

He knew that there was a ghost made by Zhang Pengju in it, but for him, Zhang Pengju was more reliable, so he naturally sacrificed Mei Chang'an, anyway, if one Mei Changan left, more Mei Chang'an would come around.

He doesn't lack men!

Until Mei Changan wasted the boss's strength and begged in front of him.

Mei Changan said that she has a girl, even if she is good-looking, she can still make money, and she is so boastful.

Gao Jin didn't pay attention to making money or anything, but he was satisfied with being a beauty.

Later, I overheard about the auspicious dyeing workshop, which made people inquire about it, and suddenly had a heart of ambition.

Gao Jin is not Mei Changan's short-sighted guy, after listening to the return, he knows that if Mei Changan's sister is really the core of a dyeing workshop, she has also been rewarded by the palace lady, and she is still beautiful.

Isn't such a woman born to be in her arms?

He is no longer satisfied with being a county magistrate, but wants to be in a higher position.

The dividends of the auspicious dyeing workshop can cover up his unspeakable part of the income and become his own source of income, and the relationship behind it can also bring great benefits to himself.

However, he was worried that Mei Changan bragged about his sister-in-law's beauty in order to return to him as a friend, because Gao Jin remembered that Mei Changan had said that his sister was fat and ugly.

Therefore, he decided to take a look at each other in person, and let him take the person to the back door of the county office, and he and Mei Changan secretly watched behind the door.

As a result, Gao Jin was very overjoyed, but he didn't expect Mei Changan to really tell a lie, he, this girl, is really a beauty, and has a temperament that other beauties don't have.

Such a beauty should be matched with a hero like herself so that she will not be buried!

Gao Jin felt that his heart, which had been dusty for several months, was alive again.

In the morning, I heard from the people around me that my wife sent the housekeeper to the Mei family, and my heart has always been

Thinking about it.

didn't think about it, not long after, his wife Xia came to say that the girl of the Mei family didn't match him and couldn't be included.

can make Gao Jin angry, such an uncaring excuse, who is Xia perfunctory?

It is rare for two husbands and wives to argue for two sentences, and they do not give in to each other and break up unhappily.

was angry, and heard Mei Changan ask to see him again.

When he called people in, the people who entered such a city couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Brother Chang'an, who are you?" ”

Mei Changan smiled bitterly before speaking: "My lord, about the matter of my sister, I'm afraid it will be postponed for a few days, my father is very sick-"

Gao Jin is not angry, he has always been very patient with the beauties who have not arrived.

only smiled and said, "It's okay, let your sister accompany your father more at home!" You see you too, how did you get hurt? I still think that there is an important matter to be entrusted to you, so I can rest assured. You're injured, but you're not in a hurry, go back to recuperate for a few days, and we'll talk about it when the injury heals? ”

Mei Changan's eyes lit up: "My lord, please rest assured, I'm just a little injured and not in the way, if there is anything, just give me a direct order!" ”

Gao Jin beckoned, motioned for Mei Changan to come over, and muttered a few words in a low voice.

Mei Changan's face showed ecstasy. Since Mei Xiaotong picked out the words to Mei Zhongzhong and made it clear, Mei Zhongzhong lay on the bed, only crying silently and not speaking.

Mei Changgui comforted him twice, but it was a pity that he was stupid, not only did he not comfort the idea, but it made Mei Zhongzhong more and more blocked.

Mei Changqing still couldn't stand it, which made the fourth child comfort, but he was afraid that his father was not poisoned by the second child, and was blocked by the fourth child first.

dragged Mei Changgui out, and Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong had already made an excuse to go out.

In Mrs. Li's words, who wants to look at his old bitter gourd face?

Only Tianhu was left young, touching his nose to accompany Mei Zhongzhong in the house.

It took a long time for Mei Zhongzhong to cheer up, grab the heavenly tiger, and ask about the situation carefully.

Tianhu knew everything, said everything, and explained everything in detail after Mei Zhongzhong left Lingshan Village.

The more Mei Zhongzhong listened, the more ugly and discouraged he became, and the last bit of illusion in his heart was completely shattered, and he waved his hand weakly, signaling Tianhu to stop talking.

Tianhu looked at Mei Zhongzhong's face, endured it and said, "Master, you were almost killed by your second uncle, why don't you even let people say it?" People say old foolish, old foolish, I think you are really old foolish, right? ”

"I don't understand, what's the matter with you? My aunt used to pounce on her mother-in-law's family, and she also pulled our Mei family to stick to her mother-in-law's family, who can bear it? You treat your aunt as a treasure, and you haven't said anything about your aunt for so many years, and you have divided the family for your aunt.

Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong were in the next room, and they heard Tianhu's words clearly. ”

"That's it, just like the second uncle

Son, after selling all his family property, he dared to come back, didn't he just rely on you to hurt him? If you change to another family, such a son will come back, and he will break his leg first when they meet. It's your turn, cry, beg, and the is gone! ”

"Your old man is really, aunt and second uncle are like this, your intimate and intimate lungs hurt. It's my aunt, I really suffered a lot of grievances for our family, without her, can we have such a good life as our family? Why do I think you just can't get used to looking at my aunt? Picking thorns in eggs every day, this is not used to it, and it is not used to it! ”

"Aren't you just relying on my aunt not to care about you? Whose daughter can pick up a family and save so much family business to share with her brother in vain? ”

"So far, the second uncle has done such a conscience-losing thing, and you still don't believe it, and you don't believe it. Do you really think that my aunt will not be able to deal with you for the rest of her life? Have you forgotten how we broke up? ”

"Why bother? You were killed by your second uncle, and in the end, you have to count on your aunt to pay for the doctor to save your life. Feel your conscience and think about it, is your conscience okay? Isn't this blushing? “

When Tianhu talked about rising, he didn't vomit or be unhappy, and he couldn't care about Mei's loyal face.

"I know I don't like what I'm saying, and your old man is not happy to hear it. I can't say that I still want to scold me for being unfilial, it's all up to you, but I'm really uncomfortable. Our family, big and small men, has an accident at home, but can only rely on my aunt and a girl to turn over and make a fortune, not to mention grateful to Dade, so I have points in my heart, right? You are so wronged by my aunt, except for milk, no one in our family speaks for my aunt, and I am not worth it for my aunt! If I don't talk about it, I don't even think I have the face to see my aunt! Tianhu was afraid that he would not be able to finish it for a while, so he would not have a chance to say it.

As soon as the thunderbolt bar called, he smashed it out, and he didn't dare to look at Mei's loyal face more, so he only dropped a sentence: "Master, I'll go outside to guard, just call me if you have something." ”

As he spoke, he hurried out as if he was chasing and biting after him.

Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong were in the next room, and they heard Tianhu's words clearly.
