Chapter 118: The official messenger came to the door

When Mai Wang arrived with his little girl, the rest of the people were already in place, the two aunts and grandmothers sat next to the old lady on the left and right, Mai Xing and Mai sat on the chairs at the table, surrounded by their daughters-in-law and children, and Mai Xiaohuan's family was missing.

"Mother."

"Grandma."

The two greeted Mai Liu first, and then called people in turn, Mai Xiaohuan glanced at the floor of the house, only there was a bench at the door, it seemed that this was left for his father.

It stands to reason that Mai Wang should be next to Mai Xing's seat, could it be that grandma felt sorry for his father who had just come from outside to get hot, so she deliberately arranged it this way and left the seat at the door that could blow the wind to her father. Mai Xiaohuan didn't believe that these people would be so kind! It turned out that her analysis was correct, and her grandmother and uncles and aunts were worried about nothing but silver in their own family.

"Yo! Why did Xiao Huan come back from Qingcheng County, didn't he say that he would accompany the county lord to study? "I guess I was driven back! Or Xiao Fang's girl did something inappropriate and disgusted. As for Mai Xiaohuan, Wu didn't think crookedly, he still looked like a child on the outside! Who's going to do it to her.

I had long expected that these people would ask about this matter, and the sisters also discussed countermeasures, no matter who asked, they said that the county lord would return to Beijing immediately, so they released him.

"I was driven back!" Mai Xiaoling, who had been looking forward to the sisters' bad luck, didn't believe her cousin's words, and felt that her analysis was right.

"You're not going to be out there, are you! If I know what I have done to be humiliating or gossip, you will be kicked out of the Mai family! Mai Liu picked up the shelf of the head of the family.

"That's it, we don't have more than you two little girls in our family, we can't afford to lose this person, if you do something, tell it now." Wu followed suit.

Can't these people hope that they will be better? Mai Xiaohuan had a cold face, he really wanted to throw his sleeves and leave, where did they have relatives, and when there was a good thing, they would rush up like a swarm, if they heard the slightest news that was unfavorable to them or imagined something, they immediately wanted to draw a line with themselves.

Mai Xiaohuan glanced at his father, who was already a little angry, these relatives are really the best, and I don't know what else my father can't give up or let go of these people. Anyway, the idea of moving by himself has been decided, and it is necessary to go, and my father and mother want to go to the best, and they can only run at both ends if they don't want to follow themselves.

"Grandma didn't call us here just to discuss this! Then you can rest assured that my second sister and I came back in the bright light, neither were we driven out, nor did we do anything unseemly, we didn't hide back without the face, and we can't even affect you in this life and this life. ”

That's good, after listening to her granddaughter's assurance, Mai Liu's rest assured, she was really afraid that she would be affected by the two granddaughters, and she didn't borrow any light from them, if she was affected, it would be too wrong.

"When you went to Qingcheng County, you said that you had a moon silver to take it!"

wants money again, Mai Xiaohuan is no longer able to complain, the old people in other people's families are looking forward to their children getting better and better, and her grandmother can't wait to scrape the silver and copper plates in her children's pockets and put them in her arms.

Especially for his own family, every once in a while he will come up with a name to ask for silver, in the face of such elders, how can he respect and like it!

Before Mai Liu opened his mouth to ask for silver, Mai Xiaohuan preemptively spoke: "The silver we got last year and this year is not enough to pay off the debt!" The debt owed by the family to buy a house in the county has not yet been paid off! ”

Before I mentioned the matter of the silver, this dead girl sealed the road, which is so annoying! Mai Liu is looking for things everywhere, intending to teach his granddaughter who is disobedient and disrespectful. Anyway, the two of them don't have to go to Qingcheng County anymore, and now they finally have no scruples and can beat her.

Mai Wang stood up to protect Mai Xiaohuan and shouted "Mother" tiredly.

"Mother, mother, you are going to be angry with your unruly girl, you are going to be motherless soon. Have mercy on me! After working hard to pull the children up with a handful of and urine, now she just wants to set up a few tables of banquets and celebrate her birthday, she is here to push and hinder, what kind of sin have I made! ”

Sure enough, it was still for the silver, Mai Xiaohuan struggled out of Mai Wang's arms, and she wanted to know how grandma planned to set up this banquet.

Mak Liu's killer trick in dealing with his children is to recall the difficult years of the past, and this trick is especially effective when applied to Mak Wang. Although he went to work in the fields early and went up to the mountains to hunt, he suffered the most among his five children. Mai Liu knew very well in his heart that among the five children, he would still call his mother distressed when he mentioned the past, and then obediently do what he wanted, and the others would have long been numb.

Sure enough, as soon as her words fell, Mai Wan called out to her mother in distress.

"Are you saying I'd be too much to set up a few tables? I haven't said this yet, your daughter will come to gag me, don't think that it's great to have been to Qingcheng County, don't come back if you have the ability, follow the county lord to the capital! Now that she is back, she has to abide by the rules of the Mai family, you see which sister is talking too much when the elders speak, there are no rules. ”

Anyway, there is no silver in the family now, and Mai Xiaohuan is not afraid of grandma opening her mouth, what she is worried about is that her father is soft-hearted and excited to take care of all the things about grandma's birthday, which will be bad.

Mai Liushi calmed down his excitement and said to Mai Wang: "Our family is the most prosperous in your family, and my mother is not a big deal every year, it is only a turn in several years, we have already discussed, this time it will be up to your family to Zhang Luo, next time your eldest brother and eldest sister will do it, you will not agree!" ”

These people are really good at settling accounts, and their own family will take care of it once, and next time the uncle and aunt will do it together. Let's not mention that next time grandma is very likely to temporarily change the hexagram and reassign the birthday banquet to their own heads, let's just say that this time, don't they know the current situation of their family? Where did the money come from to buy a banquet?

I have money, but I can't, and I don't dare to take it out! A few days ago, the eldest brother didn't lend it to him, if he took it out for his grandmother's banquet, and the two in the county knew about it, would they give up? It's strange not to settle accounts with yourself.

Mai Xiaohuan took off his silver earrings in public, put them in front of Mai Liu's and said: "Everyone knows the situation of our family, we can't take out the silver at all, this is something that the county lord rewarded me, and it can be worth some money if it is sold. ”

What I want is a beautiful birthday banquet, invite the chef of the county, and then invite a troupe, how can I have enough for such a few things, this girl is definitely more than this pair of earrings, it was not this one that was taken out at the door of her house last time, if you bring a few more pairs, it will be enough.

She had just made a small abacus here, and Mai Xiaoling had already pounced before others did anything, snatched the earrings into her hands, flipped them in her hands and admired them, and her mouth was not idle: "You and Xiaofang hurt me that year, and there was no compensation afterwards, this is counted as interest, remember to make up for the twenty taels of silver owed in the future." ”

"Yes, yes, see that I'm so busy forgetting such an important thing, look at how good your cousin is, as long as you have such a little interest, it's cheaper for you."

"Hehe" Mai Xiaohuan smiled angrily, what kind of people are these! I think I'm a bully, right? Mai Xiaohuan walked to the courtyard and turned around and shouted loudly into the house: "I'll go to the village chief to evaluate this reason, cousin, you can help me put away my earrings, grandma is not rare, I will get them back later." ”

Mai Liu's walked to the door in a few steps, pointed at Mai Xiaohuan and scolded: "You are not ashamed, hurry up and come back to me, and go to trouble the village chief for the slightest big thing, the people of the Mai family have been thrown away by you." ”

"Mother, let her go!" Under the hint of his daughter-in-law, Mai Quan came over to support the old lady, the county guard has stepped down, and such a big thing has happened in Qingcheng County, it is impossible for the village chief not to know. Will people still care about and fancy Xiao Huan's girl? Dream on! When she comes back, she will be much more honest, and she will not be so arrogant in the future.

Lying in the old lady's ear and muttering for a long time, Mai Liu pointed his finger at his youngest son and smiled: "You have a lot of ghost eyes, let's just wait for Xiao Huan to invite the village chief!" ”

After half an hour, not only did the village chief not come, but even Mai Xiaohuan disappeared. Mai Wang was worried about what happened to the little girl on the road, and was about to go out to take a look, but was stopped by his sister Mai Qiaoyue: "Second brother, the silver for my mother's birthday has not yet been settled!" You can't go. "Xiao Huan's dead girl has lost so much face to herself, she has always wanted to find a chance to take revenge, and today she finally caught a good time, how could she miss it!

"Xiao Huan has already taken out the most valuable things on his body, in Xiao Ling's, you go get it! How can I not care about my mother's birthday, I will go up the mountain from tomorrow, no matter what prey I hit these days, I can always send it! ”

That's not enough, there is no place for the money to invite the cook and the troupe! Mai Liu glanced at the two opposite people at the door, didn't say anything, returned to the bed, took off his shoes and sat cross-legged.

"I'll go see what's wrong with Xiao Huan first, and then discuss it when I come back?" McWan said almost pleadingly that he didn't believe that his daughter would leave him and run away, but he was afraid that something would happen to her on the road.

Mai Qiaoyue is still leaning on the door frame, not caring at all about whether Mai Xiaohuan, her niece, will have an accident, and even hopes that something will happen to her, so that she can get out of her heart!

The people next to him either looked like they were watching a good show, or they were gloating there, but no one cared if Mai Xiaohuan would be okay.

"Is Daddy Xiao Huan here? Let's go home! There are a lot of people in your family, and there are so many officials! The village chief's daughter-in-law ran to the courtyard and said.

The dead girl also said that they didn't cause trouble in Qingcheng County, no, did everyone find it? What should I do now?

Mai Wan took advantage of the chaos to run out of the house, he was concerned about how the child was doing, and as for the official errand, he also had to line up behind the girl.
