Since Mei Chang'an was studying, Mei Zhongzhong had never seen this son perform such a big ceremony, and he was stunned.

Mrs. Li snorted: "I don't have a son like you!" Don't be an eyesore in front of the old lady, how far you go! If you don't leave, be careful that the old lady will pump you with the soles of her shoes! ”

As soon as Mei Changan's eyes rolled, he could see that Mrs. Li, her mother-in-law, was now eager to beat herself to death, but her father Mei's loyal expression was quite peaceful.

I immediately had an idea in my heart, kneeling two steps, hugging Mei Zhongzhong's thighs and crying.

First of all, he scolded himself for not being a human being, but a brute! is not filial, has no conscience, takes the family's money, leaves his father and mother and the family alone, ungrateful, and heartbroken.

Anyway, he is a showman, and Wen Crepe scolded himself for a stick of incense for a long time, profoundly expressing the fact that he is not a thing. Then he began to cry about his suffering.

said that he was also forced to do so, he told his family at the time, and his mother resolutely objected, and he knew that this thing would not be possible. It is impossible for his father and mother to sell all the land in the family for him alone. After all, there is still a large family to feed.

But he really couldn't help it, it was the only chance, and if he missed it, he wouldn't have it again. He was originally a poor talent in the countryside, and he had no connections to buy money, so he said it in Lingshan Village, and people took him seriously.

Out of Lingshan Village, who will give him face?

Finally, the master admired him as a person and wanted to pull him, this was his only chance. If you miss it, you can only die in Jingxian County in this life as a poor talent and teach people books for a lifetime.

But he is unwilling, he has been talented since he was a child, and he knows that his future is far more than that.

The family's conditions are limited, and after failing to pass the exam a few times, the family is unwilling to provide for him, so he can only find a way to earn a way out for himself.

So after thinking about it, he still stole the title deed and sold it without conscience. I also thought that when he got a position, gained a firm foothold, and had an income, he would come back and redeem the land.

If nothing else, he will be able to come back with the silver in half a year at most.

The family only needs to suffer for half a year, and then it will be

"Mother, wasn't that what your son told you angrily? Are you really serious? Mei Changan looked at Mrs. Li pitifully, he was chased and beaten for a long time and didn't dare to fight back, his hair bun was scattered, his clothes were dirty, his body moved, and he was in hot pain everywhere, he was really embarrassed.

Mei Xiaotong looked coldly at Mei Changan, who was really thick-skinned and black-hearted, he deliberately wanted Mei Xiaoque's life at the beginning, and he didn't care about the life and death of his family.

Now in his mouth, it is all bitter, and he also has to make this decision for the sake of the Mei family's glory and ancestor.

As for harming Mei Xiaoque, that doesn't exist!

Even if you take the title deed and sell the land, don't you now earn money and come back to redeem it?

In this way, his big mistake of being kicked out of the house turned into a small mistake.

Seeing the emotion on Mei Zhongzhong's face, Mei Xiaotong knew that he was moved.

This father, the most persistent thing in this life is to glorify the ancestors, and Mei Changan can be an official.

Now Mei Changan came back and said that he had achieved this goal, in Mei Zhongzhong's eyes, this son was the most perfect, as for stealing the land deed, it was just an extraordinary means in extraordinary times.

Sure enough, Mei Zhongzhong looked around, the sky was getting dark, and everyone was gathered at the door, what did it look like?

coughed: "What are you doing standing at the door?" Waiting for others to see the joke? Let's go in first. ”

As he spoke, he pulled his feet and walked out into the courtyard.

Zhou said unwillingly: "Why let the second child and his family enter the door?" No matter how nice the second child says, it's a fact that our family leader was almost killed by him, can't he say it's okay, you can really treat it if you don't know, right? Dad, isn't it your son who is in charge of our family? ”

"The second child almost killed our head of the family, just by virtue of this, no one can float over with such two words!"

Zhou felt that his father-in-law was simply in the water. What is Wang Lao Er? If he says it's your father, do you recognize it?

In order to express his anger, Zhou simply stopped at the door and did not let people in.

Mei Zhongzhong was stopped at the door by his eldest daughter-in-law, and he was a father-in-law, so he couldn't push his daughter-in-law away.

felt that the Zhou family was like this, and he really didn't take his father-in-law in his eyes, so he suddenly looked at Mei Xiaoque with a calm face: "Boss, take care of your daughter-in-law!" ”

Mei Xiaoque's eyes were red, and she looked at Mei Zhongzhong: "Dad, do you really believe the words of the second child?" His voice trembled.

Mei Zhongzhong looked away uncomfortably, and patted Mei Xiaoque's shoulder comfortingly: "Boss, no matter how you say that he is also your brother, you see that the sky is going to be dark, this cold day, can't you leave their family of three outside?" Even if you still hate the second child in your heart, the second daughter-in-law and Jin Hai are always innocent, right? ”

"If you really leave them in this wind and blow all night, where is there still life? Let's go in first, don't worry, Dad knows it. ”

Mei Xiaoque wanted to say something, but was pulled by Tianhu, he stepped forward and pulled Zhou away: "Dad, mother, just listen to the words of the master first, the big guy go in first, it's such a cold day, don't freeze!" Besides, since the master knows it in his heart, he must be able to give us justice! ”

Zhou was still a little reluctant: "You are stupid, your father is so partial, what justice can you give us?" He muttered quietly.

Tianhu sneered and exchanged colors with Tianlong before saying, "Mother, what if you just don't get out of the way?" As long as you want them to go in, you have to go in whatever you think about the Fa! Why bother? Let's let them in and see what they want. Look what you think! ”

Mei Xiaotong more

glanced at Tianhu, this kid, after more than half a year's business, his vision and mind have grown a lot.

And listening to his tone, he was ready to tear his face.

Come to think of it, now that the family has been separated, the big house has a house, a field, and silver, and Tianlong They are also big, and they can help the family do business.

As long as you continue to do business, you will have a good life, especially Tianlong and Tianhu, who are two and a half years old, when they are young and vigorous, they saw that Mei Changan didn't rush up and beat them first, uh, that's because Mrs. Li shot first.

Can you really swallow this breath and let Mei Changan go?

Only Mei Zhongzhong wishfully felt that since Mei Changan came back to confess, it was still a family.

Zhou was pulled away by the Heavenly Tiger, Mei Zhongzhong walked in first, and although Mei Changan was in pain, he was also busy following behind.

The rest of the Mei family glanced at each other, Mei Changqing scratched her scalp irritably, and said with a wry smile: "Mother, little sister, let's go in?" If you don't go in again, I'm afraid that Wang Lao Er, a beast that is not as good as a beast, will pour two mouthfuls of ** soup to my father, and my father is afraid that he won't know what his surname is. ”

Mrs. Li was reluctant to let go of the thin bamboo pole in her hand, looking for it, and she had to find an opportunity to smoke it twice to relieve the hatred in her heart.

The Mei family turned around and entered the house, and no one cared about the Qian family and Jin Hai mother and daughter who were still kneeling on the ground.

Qian saw that everyone had gone in, so he hurriedly pulled Jin Hai to get up, patted the ash on his skirt, and was about to go in, remembering that there were still two big boxes that had not yet been moved in.

Hurriedly shouted: "Tianlong, Tianhu, fourth brother, help move the box in-"

shouted for a long time, but no one paid attention.

The Qian family was angry and anxious, knowing that this time was not as good as in the past, and the Mei family looked at them unpleasantly, and they didn't expect anyone to come out to help.

I had to grit my teeth, and the two of them slowly dragged the box up the steps.

The golden hairpin has fine skin and tender meat, delicate and weak, where there is strength, the box is not dragged, but the person sits on the ground with a butt.

Although no one saw it, she also felt ashamed.

He simply threw the box away, covered his face and rushed into the yard.

Qian Shi shouted a few times in the back but didn't stop, so anxious that she only fell to her feet, how did she move in these two boxes?

I can't do it.

"Second brother and sister, let my wood help you move in." A voice rang out.

Qian turned around and saw a strange woman and a descendant standing behind.

She thought about it for a while, this woman still had a little impression just now, wasn't she the daughter left by the mother-in-law in front of her?

Fang Cai also said a few good words for her officials, and took the initiative to help at this moment.

Qian was very grateful, she had heard about the deeds of this eldest sister before, and she always looked down on her, but she didn't expect that at this time, only this eldest sister would come to help.

hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "Thank you, eldest sister."

！ Otherwise, I am a woman's house, and I really can't move these. ”

Mei Yongzhen pushed Sun Mu: "Wood, go and help your second uncle move the box in?" What are you doing stupidly? ”

Sun Mutou stomped his feet, stepped forward and carried the two boxes to the courtyard, put them by the gate, and turned around and came out. "Mother, the things have been moved in, let's go back!" Don't get involved in other people's affairs.

Mei Yongzhen glanced at Sun Mutou with disgust: "You kid, your second uncle and his family rarely come back, why do you have to see a courtesy——"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sun Mutou: "Mother, I remember that our door hasn't closed yet, I'll go back first, and there must be someone at home." ”

Saying that, he ran away first.

Mei Yongzhen had no choice but to follow Qian into the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, the Qian family was stunned, he didn't expect the Mei family to live in such a big house now.

What catches my eye is the courtyard of the big house, which is a new house, and it will be kept for my son to marry a daughter-in-law in the future.

Zhou is a diligent person who cleans up the yard every day.

There are a total of nine main rooms in the upper room plus the wings on the left and right, and there are also small side rooms.

Not to mention the back of this yard.

The house where the family lives in the county seat, although it is also a yard, is much smaller than this yard.

There are three main houses in total, plus the partial houses and stove houses on the left and right, and the yard is not big, compared with the house in front of you, it seems small and cramped.

The Qian family didn't know what it was like, and they were jealous that the Mei family was actually better off than them now, and they were happy for a while, the richer the Mei family, the better.

Thinking in his heart, he followed Mei Yongzhen into the second courtyard unconsciously.

Only then did Qian find out that there was more than one entry into this courtyard?

"Eldest sister, how many people are in this yard of our house? I looked behind me as if there was still one? Qian asked Mei Yongzhen.

"There are four courtyards before and after, and my younger siblings will know when they are idle." Mei Yongzhen saw that the house she lived in before was now Mei Zhongzhong's room, and the door was open.

It was full of people, and they hurriedly took Qian Shi over.

Entering the house, a burst of heat came to the face, the room was as warm as spring, Qian couldn't help but sneez, which blew outside for a long time, and as soon as he entered this warm room, his nose was a little itchy.

Mei Zhongzhong sat on the kang, Mei Changan stood next to him, and the rest of the people stood opposite Mei Changan.

Qian Shi hurriedly pulled Jin Hai to stand beside Mei Changan, and for a while, the atmosphere in the room was a little stagnant.

Or Mei Zhongzhong coughed twice: "Second brother, you said earlier that you had a firm foothold outside, you mixed well, and you also knew that you were wrong, and you came back this time with the money to redeem the land?" ”

Mei Changan nodded hurriedly: "Dad!" I have all the silver tickets ready, and when the new year begins, I will find someone to buy the land back. The one I sold to was my classmate, as long as I personally said,

I don't think I'll refute my face. ”

Mei Zhongzhong nodded, if the second child really has remorse and can get the silver back, then it can be regarded as his conscience.

Just as she was about to speak, Mrs. Li sneered: "Since you said that you got rich and came back with a silver ticket, let's return the silver from the sale of the land first." I don't care how much you sold the land you sold at the beginning, but now that you have redeemed it, there are no two hundred taels that you can't buy back. Give the money! ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.

Since this little beast wants to return the money, it just so happens that the money is left to Xiaotong, and the money to buy the land was all paid by Xiaotong!

Mei Changan's eyes were stunned, and his fingers rubbed for a moment, before he smiled and said, "This is natural!" The silver tickets are still at the bottom of the box! Most of the boxes are a little specialty brought back to everyone, and it is not convenient for the black light to be blind, so it is better to wait for tomorrow, open the box, and then take it out is not too late! ”

When Mrs. Li heard this, she looked at Mei Changan fixedly, and saw that Mei Changan's back was in a cold sweat, and she had to force her composure on her face.

Mei Zhongzhong, who was next to him, heard this, nodded and said, "That's right, it's late this day, what kind of box are you turning over?" The second child won't leave tomorrow, and he will take it out tomorrow! ”

Mei Changan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this was barely past the first level.

laughed at the moment: "Dad, you see that our family came back in a hurry, our clothes are dirty, and people are tired." Shall we go down and wash our faces and recuperate? ”

As long as you stay first, everything is easy to say.

Not to mention the Qian family, Mei Changan was also taken aback when he saw such a big courtyard of the Mei family, but he didn't expect the Mei family to be so generous in the past six months.

Not to mention anything else, just this courtyard, I'm afraid it will cost hundreds of taels.

Now the family is rich! Mei Changan forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart.

When it comes to accommodation, Mei is stuck.

Now that they are all separated, this, this is no place for the second family, I knew that the second family was going back, so I shouldn't have split up a year ago.

There was silence in the room.

Mei Changan waited for a while, but didn't hear Mei Zhongzhong's arrangement, and suddenly looked over suspiciously, and saw Mei Zhongzhong's embarrassed face.

"What's wrong, Dad?"

"That, second child, at home now, cough, there is no place for you to live-" Mei Zhongzhong's old face flushed.

"What?" Mei Changan thought he had misheard.

"Daddy mean, there's no place for you in this house now! You made a fortune as an official outside, so naturally you don't know the situation in this family. We have already separated, and the four courtyards are clearly distinguished, and it has nothing to do with you! Mei Changqing smiled mockingly.

"Separation?" Mei Changan was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at Mei Zhongzhong.

"Dad, when did you divide the family? How did I not know? Besides, I'm also the son of the Mei family, so I should have a share of this family, right? It has nothing to do with me

Yes? "Mei Changan is really anxious.

How could they be separated? What will he do if this family is separated?

Even if you want to divide it, you have to wait for him to come back and divide it together, right?

Mei Zhongzhong said that Ai Ai had separated a few days ago.

Mei Changan immediately objected: "How can this work?" Even if I do something wrong, but I am not out of the clan, I am still the son of your second elder, and this family has my share! What's more, where is there such a separation? Parents are here, how can they be separated? Also, Xiaomei is a girl, how can she share it alone? ”

"Even if we want to split the family, it should be our four brothers, and then leave a separate copy for my father and mother, and a separate dowry for my little sister. In the future, when my father and mother are old, our brothers will take it over and raise it! Where is there a reason to give a point to an unmarried girl? This is all our Mei family, and when the little sister gets married in the future, won't they all have to be brought to other families, which will be cheaper for others? ”

"Fuck you!" As soon as Mrs. Li heard the meaning of Mei Changan's words, that is, she should not divide the family property with her daughter, and her heart became angry.

Fortunately, the thin bamboo pole in his hand was not lost, so he pulled it over and slapped it on Mei Changan's face.

Mei Changan's face was immediately pulled out of a red mark, so painful that his tears came out, covered his face, and said vaguely: "Mother, did I say something wrong?" No one should be divided like this! "No one has such an ungrateful king as you! You have a bad conscience, what face do you have to come back and ask for the family property? You stole the title deed and sold it, and the title deed is owned by our Mei family, don't you know? You took it with a hard heart, regardless of the life and death of our family! Your father was so angry that he had a stroke and couldn't stand in bed, and half of your brother's life was removed, and the silver was spent like running water in the hospital. ”

"At that time, the sky fell for our family! Do you know how we survived those days? Every day, I am worried about this meal and the next meal! I wanted to go out and borrow some money, but everyone avoided us. ”

"Why? Because I know that our family has no land! No source! It's a broken house! It's better for you to carry the money you sold for the land, and follow the dignitaries to live a good life! If it weren't for your sister-in-law gritting her teeth to prop up this family, your father, the grass on your eldest brother's grave would be one person taller, and this family would be scattered. Can you still sit in this big courtyard and talk like a dog? ”
