Chapter 118: Tinkering With
After only a few words, the mother and son collapsed?
The format changes too quickly, right?
Mrs. Li was not afraid, and jumped up, "If you have the ability, you can walk out of this house today, and don't come back in the future!" Regret? What my mother regrets the most is that she gave birth to a group of debt collectors! β
"Good! Mother, remember what you said today, just don't regret it! Mei Changan coldly drove out the Mei family who heard the news, looked at them one by one, and then shook their heads and strode away.
Mei Changgui still has to catch up.
Mrs. Li broke off and shouted, "Dare to go out, see if the old lady doesn't break your legs-"
Mei Changgui had to retract his legs abruptly, "Mother, second brother-"
"I didn't give birth to this son, and you don't have a second brother!" Mrs. Li said fiercely.
Mei Xiaotong hugged Mrs. Li, and then pointed out the door and asked Mei Changgui to catch up.
Mrs. Li couldn't do anything about the old girl, but she didn't see it, and when Mei Changgui went out, she complained, "It's good to go, what are you chasing?" Since you look down on the Mei family and this family, don't come back! β
Such a big movement woke Mei Zhongzhong up.
Mei Zhongzhong was happy yesterday, drank a little too much, was woken up, turned over and sat up from the kang, and heard the commotion outside.
My brain was also buzzing, so I got off the kang and poured a bowl of herbal tea on the table into my stomach before I was sober.
It was hard to hear clearly that it was the old woman arguing with the second child outside? The second child is leaving?
Mei Zhongzhong hurriedly rushed out, who would have thought that he was dizzy after being drunk, and his feet were soft, so he finally chased him out, and the second child had already dropped his cruel words and left.
Angry, Mei Zhongzhong's eyes turned black for a while, this old woman!
Fortunately, when I saw that the old girl asked Mei Changgui to chase me out, I held on to the door frame and coughed.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Mei Zhongzhong, whose face was all blue.
Mrs. Li couldn't help but feel a little weak when she saw Mei Zhongzhong's face, but she immediately became angry, "What's wrong?" My own son, can't even scold? β
Mei Zhongzhong fell to her feet, and she didn't bother to take care of Mrs. Li, just looked at the door, waiting anxiously.
It took a long time to see Mei Changgui's depressed person come back, where I still don't understand, the second child is still gone, it seems that he is really angry.
"Where's your second brother? Really angry? Mei Zhongzhong still has a glimmer of hope.
Mei Changgui didn't know how to be tactful, and said very directly, "The second brother said that since the family dislikes him, he won't come back to annoy people!" Let the father and mother treat it as if they never gave birth to his son, but don't regret it in the future! When he is developed, don't think about getting together, he should cut off relations with our family! β
Mei Xiaotong was almost laughed at, she had seen black and white reversed, but she had never seen Mei Changan beat like this.
Seeing that Mei Zhongzhong was about to faint, Mei Xiaotong motioned to Mei Changgui to help Mei Zhongzhong into the house.
Only then did he speak, "Dad, what's there to be angry about?" Listen to two
Brother, I don't know how long the resentment in our family has been accumulating. Fortunately, my mother stopped me yesterday and didn't let my father agree, and made up a hundred taels of silver for the second brother, and my father will drink less bars in the future, and next time I drink more, I will not shout to sell the house and land, but to sell our brothers and sisters! β
Mei Zhongzhong's face couldn't be hung up, and the table slammed, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?" Who am I doing this for? It's not for the Mei family, it's for you! Do you know that if the second child can become an official, the good days of our family will come, and who else in Lingshan Village will dare to say about our family in the future? Not to mention anything else, the fourth child can also marry a daughter-in-law of a good family, and you can also marry a good family, right? β
"Didn't my father say that I should recruit a son-in-law at home, why did you let me marry again? I know what dad means? Isn't it just a few days ago, I couldn't count on the second brother, so I wanted to stay at home to recruit a son-in-law, so I could watch Tianlong and them get married. Why did the second brother come back and say two good words, which immediately changed, and he wanted to sell the whole family's land to support the second brother? Daddy, what do we think as children? Mei Xiaotong smiled indescribably and looked at Mei Zhongzhong.
"That's not, that's not - a girl's family, you know?
Like your mother, they all have long hair and short knowledge! Don't say anything else, just look at the boss, you see that the second child is admitted to Xiucai, and he catches up with the master of the county official, and he can make friends with the divine doctor, if we are ourselves, where can we find the divine doctor? After that, the second child himself has become the henchman of the eldest master, and the benefits are still to come? This is the blessing of our Mei family's ancestors, but it is a great happy event, even if you smash the pot and sell iron, you have to provide it! In the future, future generations will enjoy the blessings, and they will all be ruined by you-" At the end, Mei Zhongzhong slammed the table angrily.
"Since my father wants to sell the land for the second brother so much, then my father will chase it, and if I want to follow the second brother's footsteps, I can't go fast! Dad, you can catch up with two steps quickly, go and tell the second brother about the official who is willing to sell land and house for him! If selling land is not enough, you can also package and sell our younger brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces and so on, and you can always make up enough! beg him to come back soon, anyway, it took our Mei family 800 years to have such a talented master, and the family is bankrupt, and he has to buy him an official if he sells his sons, daughters, and grandsons! Such a glorious thing to honor the ancestors, in the future, when you go underground to see your ancestors, you can also confess to them! You're breaking your heart for our Mei family! Mei Xiaotong leaned against the door frame for a long time, pinched her fingers very, very obviously, and moved her feet again.
Mei Zhongzhong thought about it, but this old girl was blocking the door, the hand, the foot, the threat was so obvious, did she dare?
"You-you unfilial daughter-" Mei Zhongzhong was so angry that she jumped to her feet at the old girl's mocking tone.
Xiaodouding Xiaoduo, who was listening to the side, only heard that he was going to sell himself, so he was so frightened that he rushed over and hugged Mei Xiaotong's legs, crying "Don't-don't sell Xiaoduo-"
Xiaojuan and Xiaoque also looked at Mei Zhongzhong in horror.
Even the Celestial Dragon and the Celestial Tiger
He was also suspicious.
Mei Zhongzhong was so angry that she could only pant for breath, sat on the stool, and stared at the old girl.
Why didn't you find out before, this old girl's mouth is so powerful?
No, Li Jinlong's time, didn't there be a harbinger?
Mei Zhongzhong wanted to show the majesty of being a father, but he could move his mouth, and after saying a few words, he was choked by his daughter and vomited blood.
If you want to do it, think about the force of your daughter, or don't give it away.
Mrs. Li stood behind her daughter, and tears were about to fall.
Just now she was ready to defend herself with the master, but her daughter pulled her behind her and stood up for herself.
A few words, the head of the house was depressed.
This girl! Didn't hurt her in vain!
The stuffiness that Mrs. Li had felt in her chest since last night dissipated all of a sudden.
The rest of the Mei family didn't dare to come out, and they all shrank by the wall, for fear of being fished out by Mei Zhongzhong and Mei Xiaotong as cannon fodder.
Mei Zhongzhong finally took a breath, calmed down a little, and saw that the unfilial girl was still standing there, not afraid at all, and did not compensate herself for it, but gave her a look of going down the stairs.
I was angry again, and it took a long time before I spoke, "You're not optimistic?" β
"Daddy said that, it's really funny! Who is the second brother, is my father really unclear in his heart? It's just that I was lost for a while by the second brother's two good words yesterday! The second brother came back this time, but I was afraid that the introduction of the divine doctor to the eldest brother was just a cover, I am afraid that the money in his hand is really not very good, and maybe someone is blowing some wind in his ears, thinking that the Li family can compensate our family, he has contrived, and wants to get a piece of the pie, and use this as a reason! Mei Xiaotong sneered, and Mei Zhongzhong's old face turned red.
"I, I also thought, if he can really become an official, our family will have a better life, right? The family is now old and young, and if we pay for it, he will be able to protect you in the futureβ" Mei Zhongzhong also wanted to explain.
"Needless to say, we all know it. It's just that the second brother is like that, he has been holding grudges against his family for a long time, he is really an official, and he is in the field, who will remember our family when the time comes? When the time comes, the family will have no house or land, how will the family live? Could it be that he went to the second brother? The father and mother of the second sister-in-law have spent real money, can they make way for our family? Besides, we are a villager, even if we go to the second brother and take us in, we don't understand the ways of those officialdoms, in case we say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing, offend the nobles, and even affect the second brother, I'm afraid I don't even know how to die! It's better to stay in Lingshan Village honestly, to be well fed and clothed, better than anything else! Mei Xiaotong was not polite at all, and directly spread the consequences in front of Mei Zhongzhong and everyone.
Mei Zhongzhong sighed, stopped talking, turned over and went to lie on the kang.
It seems that although he accepted it intellectually, he still felt pity emotionally.
Mei Xiaotong didn't care about him, Mei Zhongzhong was actually afraid and worried in her heart, otherwise she would wake up, really
's iron heart wants to provide Mei Chang'an, he won't grind at home, he has already caught up, but he can't get over the hurdle in his heart.
Let him think about it for himself and figure it out.
So he pulled Mrs. Li and went out of the house.
Wen had already made breakfast, spread out the pancakes, put fresh chives in them, and made a small pot of gnocchi soup, the gnocchi were very small, and a layer of chopped green leaves was sprinkled inside, which was made for Mei Xiaoque alone.
Breakfast was brought to the table, and Wen was ready to eat when she saw Mrs. Li sitting down, but they didn't dare to sit down, Mei Zhongzhong hadn't come out yet, so she had to stand.
Mei Xiaotong took a piece of pancake, gnawed on it, and comforted, "It's good to leave two for my father, he drank too much yesterday, he must have no appetite in the morning, I don't see that he is still uncomfortable lying now, just wait for him to recover, let's eat first!" β
As soon as I saw Mei Xiaotong scolding Mei Zhongzhong so much that she was lying on the kang, she didn't dare to lose her temper with her daughter, and the rest of the people, where did they dare to disobey Mei Xiaotong's words, they all sat at the table obediently, and they were all very delicate in their actions of taking cakes and gnawing on them.
Mei Zhongzhong in the house heard all the movements outside in her ears, and she was so angry that she hammered the kang!
None of the deflated calves of this family have filial piety! What does that dead girl say?
Not even a single one came to ask!
The old woman is right, her sons are all debt collectors, and they are so big for nothing!
Mei Zhongzhong hammered the kang in the house, and the people outside ate very carefully one by one, and they didn't even dare to swallow.
A good breakfast, eating like a sentence.
Finally, after eating, everyone immediately dispersed.
Mei Xiaotong sighed in the yard, touched her arm, and then lifted her leg, feeling, well, the superior force is really great!
The Mei family, who was hiding in the dark to watch Mei Xiaotong, touched the head on their necks one after another, feeling that their lives were still very important, and they must not offend their aunts in the future!
Because of Mei Xiaotong's force deterrence, Mei Zhongzhong's shelf was also taken at night, and he couldn't hold on, and those little cubs who had no conscience left him on the kang and starved for a day, and if he didn't come out by himself, he was afraid that he wouldn't have anything to eat for dinner.
From that day on, no one dared to do it again
Time Chang'an, as if he had never returned, nor had he made that request for silver, and had not broken with his family.
For a few days, the home was very calm and quiet.
Until everyone saw that Mei Xiaotong was still the same as before, embroidering when it was time to embroider, and learning to cut clothes with Wen's, and making clothes for the two elders himself, when he was idle, he followed Xiaoque to walk around, picking some grass and flowers, and I didn't know what he was tinkering with.
