Whatever the reason, it can't be justified.

Not to mention that they are all older brothers, this sister and brother-in-law are just newly married, and they have not entered this cave house, so they have to take care of their father's funeral, not to mention that people are worried, and the money is also paid by them.

Although the elder brother said that he was not as rich as them, he was not sad, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't even say a word.

understood, knew that their brothers hadn't taken care of it yet, and if they didn't understand, they were afraid that they would poke their brothers in the backbone and scold.

Thinking of this, Mei Changqing reacted first: "Little sister, it's all ours, this father went suddenly, and his mind hasn't turned around for a while." I've been tired of you and my brother-in-law for the past two days! How much money has been spent, you keep an account, for the time being, and when you return to Lingshan Village in the future, plus the eldest brother, our brothers will definitely make up the money for you! You say yes, right? ”

Mei Changgui nodded stupidly.

As soon as Mrs. Li's eyelids lifted, she wanted to scold, but was stopped by Mei Xiaotong quietly.

When Mei Changqing and his brothers went back to rest, and only the mother and daughter were left in the mourning hall, Mrs. Li shook her head, "The third child, this slippery head, rushed to support your father for the share of the family property in your father's hand, I thought he had really changed." I didn't expect that the dog couldn't change the, and I heard your father say that he wanted to leave his share to me before closing his eyes, and this funeral became to be shared with a few brothers. ”

"It's also a shame that the fourth child is a brainless, what people say is what, if this is not for marrying a shrewd daughter-in-law, I will not be sold and return the money to the number of people in the future——"

Mei Xiaotong added a few pieces of charcoal to the brazier, pulled Mrs. Li to sit next to her, roasted the fire, and persuaded: "Mother, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and several brothers have become families, where can I manage so much?" Besides, since the third brother asks for an equal share, won't it be over when the time comes, let's divide my father's share equally with the three elder brothers? ”

With such a little bit of silver, Mei Xiaotong really doesn't look at it.

"Yes, let them go! Who can care who will not succeed in their lifetime? I pondered, the expenses in this city are too great, and inviting monks and Taoist priests to recite scriptures is several times more valuable than our Lingshan Village! Besides, in this city, as long as the door is opened, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar all cost money. ”

"We live as a big family, and we spend a lot of money every day! You can still ask for the money for their funerals in the future, and this is a lot of living expenses every day, so you can't open your mouth yet! Why don't we transport your father's old bones back in three days, so that they can be buried in the ground? ”

Mrs. Li is here today, and she only listened to it a few times, and she was so distressed.

This daughter-in-law's money is not blown by the wind, so why should they be abused?

Originally, Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao's plan was to solve Gao Jin and Mei Changan together in order to be at ease, otherwise with Mei Changan, a poisonous snake, I was afraid that I would not be at peace for the rest of my life.

I am afraid that Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaoque will go on the road alone, but I am afraid that they will encounter accidents.

So simply keep them with you so that you can be safe.

After listening to Mrs. Li's words, Mei Xiaotong also knew that the hotter the weather would be in the future, and she was afraid that it would be a terrible thing to transport Mei's loyal corpse back.

Especially Mei Changqing, who was originally gambling and drinking, loved everything, and this is on other people's land, if he didn't notice it, he was designed by Mei Changan, and used him to threaten himself and An Huahao, will he save it or not?

Wouldn't it be better if they could be sent back to Lingshan Village first, and wait for An Huahao and himself to stay, and settle the matter with peace of mind? ，

Therefore, she simply nodded: "Mother, don't worry, I'll let people inquire about the situation." “

If Gao Jin hadn't done as Mei Changan said, he didn't have a net in the entire city, then it would be okay.

As soon as An Huahao came back, she discussed with An Huahao and told her about her considerations and concerns.

An Huahao frowned and drank tea, "In the past few days, because there are many things, I don't bother to tell you, when I asked if Gao Jin had colluded with those local snakes, my subordinates said that the atmosphere in the city was not right these days." Especially at the docks, it seems that you can't go in and out casually. “

"In the past two days, I have been checking things, and I also feel that something is wrong, as if something big is going to happen. If you're just afraid of spending money, you don't have to. At this time, let's be cautious and see what happened, so as not to accidentally become cannon fodder-"

Mei Xiaotong didn't go out because she was always at home, so she didn't know, but An Huahao said this, so she naturally listened to him.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about things at home. Do you have a clue about the investigation? Boss Ma, they haven't come yet? Mei Xiaotong asked with concern.

"With a little clue, now I am waiting for Boss Ma and them to come, and after confirming, if it is really as we guessed, Gao Jin colluded with those local snakes to steal private mines and enrich their pockets. As long as you poke it out, at least the black gauze hat on Gao Jin's head can't be saved. Anwar Hao's eyebrows were tired.

He went to investigate in person this time, and found out how powerful the group of people he drove away at the beginning.

Most of his current subordinates were brought out by the original group of people, but when it comes to getting things done, there are still a lot of detours that delay time, or progress is too slow, and they can't find key clues.

It was not easy to find out the collusion between Gao Jin and the head snakes, and now he is worried about how to bring down Gao Jin and the head snakes when he gets the evidence?

At this time, although he did not regret driving away the old man who did not obey him at the beginning, he still had to sigh that he and his gang of subordinates were still too tender, and the means and channels were lacking in all aspects.

If it was the old people in the past, I am afraid that they would have investigated it clearly a long time ago and even had a solution.

The more he realized the gap between the group he was in his hands now and the previous group, the more An Huahao was beating in his heart.

Where did the previous group of people come from, and why?

Almost hand-eye-to-eye?

An Huahao didn't dare to think deeply.

Mei Xiaotong saw that An Huahao's expression was wrong, so she naturally had to care about two sentences, and after listening to An Huahao's analysis, Mei Xiaotong was silent.

It took a long time before he spoke: "Those who can do this are either originally engaged in intelligence work, so their group of talents is experienced." Those who can do intelligence work, the tasks they receive, and the situations they encounter are generally complicated, and to hear you describe it this way, the original group of people was almost a mature intelligence collection agency. ”

"I can have such a huge intelligence system unknowingly, and the forces behind it are probably not something we can touch." As he spoke, Mei Xiaotong pointed his finger in the direction of the capital.

An Huahao smiled bitterly: "I think so too, it is impossible for the people to have such a big force that is not noticed, the person behind this is a powerful official, and the power is not trivial-" In this context, such a huge intelligence agency has been handed over to himself, what does it mean, An Huahao knows the meaning very well.

At this moment, looking at Mei Xiaotong's contemplative face, An Huahao couldn't help but feel hot and a little guilty.

Such a good Xiaotong, if she didn't have herself, she would definitely have smooth sailing in the future, she would marry a good family, and live a rich and peaceful life.

But when I meet myself, I am afraid that one day, I will be dragged into these storms because of myself.

But it's absolutely impossible to get him to let go! It's impossible in this life!

Thinking of this, An Huahao pulled Mei Xiaotong into his arms: "Xiaotong, I can't stand you, I'm afraid I'm going to affect you in the future!" ”

Mei Xiaotong knew what An Huahao was thinking, patted An Huahao's back, and pretended to be rude: "Since you know that you can't live with me and want to affect me, what are you doing with it?" Why don't you let go of it soon? ”

An Huahao put more and more effort into holding Mei Xiaotong tightly in his arms, and said sullenly: "Don't think!" Death won't let go! Stop dreaming! ”

Mei Xiaotong pinched An Huahao angrily: "Count you as acquaintances!" You must know that you are the son-in-law of my family, and you will be my person in the next life, and my ghost in death! I, the master of the house, still have this idea, as long as you are obedient and obedient in the future, I will raise you in the future! ”

When An Huahao heard this, he didn't know what expression to show for a while, so it took a long time to soften his voice: "Well, you will raise me in the future-"

With Mei Xiaotong's relief, and the promise of being raised in the future, An Huahao went out to run errands with high morale.

A few days later, because of the arrival of Ma Boss and his party, they had been used as coolies in the private mine, and they had been trying to sneak out at that time, and they had observed some of the situation in the private mine.

After arriving in Qicheng, with the clues they provided, plus the things they had found before, the two sides were compared, and a major discovery was immediately made.

An Huahao is so busy every day that his feet don't touch the ground, and he can't come back at night.

Guarded Mei Zhongzhong for a while, and then went back to the house, hugged Mei Xiaotong for a while, and disappeared early the next day.

Because of Mei Xiaotong's explanation and persuasion, Mrs. Li also knew that now was not a good time to go back, and originally planned to park Mei Zhongzhong's coffin in the temple, but the temple was still a little far away.

I had to send the coffin to Yizhuang to park it temporarily, and take it away when I returned.

After Mei Zhongzhong's funeral, the family was detained at home by Mrs. Li and not allowed to go out, and the excuse was also ready-made, keeping filial piety at home.

Mei Changgui is honest, Mei Changqing was on the way from sending Mei's loyal coffin to Yizhuang, with an intuition that had been a gangster for many years to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and told him that something was wrong with Qicheng now.

Therefore, there is no objection, even if you are about to go crazy at home, you don't mention going out.

Even the mother-in-law who hired to buy vegetables and cook has complained these days, saying that the county magistrate has issued a notice saying that there has been a large-scale escape of miners in the mine, and now it is suspected that these miners are hiding in the county seat, and the notice says that no one is allowed to take in strangers for no reason, and they must be interrogated or something when they enter and exit.

Originally, because there were mines in Qicheng, there were not enough fields, and after such a toss, the nearby villagers did not dare to come to the city to sell vegetables.

Nowadays, the price of vegetables on the street has risen three times a day, and the price of radish and cabbage has increased several times.

If this continues, ordinary people should not be able to afford to eat.

Mrs. Li closed the door more and more, and the family nested in An Huahao's courtyard, worried about the situation outside for a while, and worried about Lingshan Village for a while.

I was in a hurry, so I sat together and scolded Mei Changan, if it weren't for him, I was afraid that I was preparing for An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong's wedding at home at this moment, which was lively and lively, not better than being stuffy in this small courtyard?

Speaking of Mei Changan's side, after sending Jin Hai to Gao Jin's backyard, Mei Changan breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered Qian to fry a few snacks and dishes in the evening, and pulled the money shopkeeper to drink.

The money shopkeeper accompanied the smiling face, drank two glasses with Mei Changan, and said that he had a headache and went back to the house to lie down.

Qian Niang wanted to say a few words of flattery, but was dragged back to the house by the money shopkeeper.

The Qian family is not high-natured, and he is still worried about Jin Hai, looking at the sky, his heart is raised, and he can't help but look at Mei Changan.

Mei Changan drank the wine slowly, under the light, his warm face, I don't know why, Qian Shi felt a little chilled in his heart.

"Official, Jin Hai, she-" Qian mustered up his courage, and as soon as he got up, he was interrupted by Mei Changan.

"Don't worry, the adults will definitely have a room with the golden hairpin cave tonight! When the raw rice is cooked, adults will naturally trust me even more! When I completely gain a firm foothold and drive away Zhang Pengju's hypocritical and treacherous villain, our family's good days will come! ”

"But Jin Hai, she-"

Chin's

The words were interrupted by Mei Changan again: "Tomorrow morning, no, tomorrow morning is not good, tomorrow is the second half of the morning, you will go to the back door of the county government to ask Mrs. to let you go to see Jin Hai and ask about the situation last night." ”

Qian didn't dare to say anything more, and bowed his head and promised.

Although it was said that he could not go to the county government until the afternoon, where did the Qian family sleep soundly, got up early in the morning, cleaned up and dressed up slightly, and stayed up until after lunch, before going out.

I thought about it before going out, and then put the doctor's prescribed wound medicine in my arms before going out.

When I arrived at the back door of the county government to ask for a meeting, there was a small servant guarding the door to report inside, and I arrived in front of Xia's family.

Xia was still having lunch, and when she heard this, she frowned in disgust, she didn't have a good impression of Mei Chang'an's family at all.

It can't be done to sell your sister for glory first, but whoever wants to make a face can't do the thing of selling a woman when you turn around.

It's a loss to be a reader!

This scholar is shameless, which is really breathtaking.

Especially the golden hairpin that was sent in, but he was only twelve years old, and in Xia's eyes, he was only a half-old child, how could he bear to send it to make people ruined?

Originally, the Xia family was already dead set on his master, but if he still had a little humanity, could this half-grown child be admitted to the house? Isn't this the character in the biography of those traitorous ministers and ministers? Arrogant and lascivious, he also attacked young girls! It's ......

Someone reported to Xia's last night, saying that Mei Changan bought someone and put a rejuvenating medicine in his master's wine, and then his master really went to the new aunt's place, and yesterday it was already a round house.

After receiving this news, he almost didn't nauseate Xia to death, he didn't sleep well all night, and as soon as he ate something, the Mei family couldn't wait to come to the door?

Waving his hand, Xia's tone was very bad: "A concubine's mother wants to come in to see her, you let a mother-in-law accompany her to send her in, and then pick it up?" What is this big deal, and what is it that deserves to come to me? The mother-in-law who passed the message knew that this was the lady's displeasure, and she had a score in her heart, so she went down with the order.

came out and asked a rough mother-in-law to bring the Qian family in.

The Qian family had already come to the backyard of the county government once, and it was still the county lady's wife who entertained the families of her subordinates, and once set up a banquet in the garden of the backyard.

Therefore, Qian followed the mother-in-law, and after passing through the back garden, he walked forward, and the more he walked, he suddenly felt bad: "This grandmother, where are you going?" ”

The rough mother-in-law said impatiently: "Naturally, take it to the new aunt and follow me!" ”

Qian Shi saw that the location was getting more and more remote, and the courtyard was getting smaller and smaller, and suddenly couldn't help but say, "Why are you here?" Isn't there a lot of unoccupied places in the garden in front of you? ”

She felt sorry for Jin Hai, and she didn't know how she survived yesterday, how wronged she was for such a good girl to be a concubine for the county lord, why didn't the eldest lady of the family give her daughter a good yard?

The rough mother-in-law sneered:

"I said this aunt's mother-in-law, listen to what you said, it's really a toad yawning, and the tone is not small! Don't look at what kind of card you are, and you deserve to live in such a good yard, right? ”

"That courtyard is reserved for our eldest young master and young lady to live in, how can it be given to the aunt who has been brought in from outside?"

After a few words, Qian's face was red, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

In order to see Jin Hai, he had to work hard and laughed: "It's that I don't understand!" Let the grandmother smile. ”

The rough mother-in-law snorted coldly and stopped talking.

She hasn't finished her own work yet, and she has been stuffed with a job of leading the way, if this new aunt's mother has a little bit of an eye and gives a few rewards, she must have a better attitude, and she can't say anything else.

But the Qian family didn't think about it at all, and she didn't have much money on hand now, so Mei Changan didn't take long after the county magistrate, Mei Changan took a few taels of silver and came back, and now the price of vegetables in the city has risen sharply, and these taels of silver are not enough for the family's expenses.

Therefore, it was not until the mother-in-law sent the Qian family to the courtyard where Jin Hai lived, shouted to open the door, and handed it to the two girls, Qingye and Honghua, without waiting for the Qian family to take out a big son.

The rough mother-in-law's face was so heavy that it could drip water, but fortunately, Honghua and Qingye barely learned some of the rules of the house, while taking the Qian family to see the golden hairpin, and on the other hand, letting the rough mother-in-law go to their house to drink tea and eat snacks.

Jin Hai was originally worse than death, and he almost didn't sleep all night, and he barely fell asleep until dawn.

By the time she woke up, it was already noon, and Gao Jin had already left.

It is estimated that because there is still freshness, Gao Jin didn't let Jin Hai get up to serve when he left, and told the two maids to wait.

When he went into the front yard, he sent a handsome servant to send a bunch of rewards.

Where have Qingye and Honghua seen these things, they only look at their eyes straight, and they can't close their mouths with joy.
