Mai Xiaoyuan firmly believes that with Dou Liangfu and himself, the matter will be resolved soon. Dou Liangfu didn't express his opinion during the whole process, in his eyes, the Mai family was a trivial matter, and he was not worthy of his own action at all. He seemed to inadvertently observe the behavior of the two girls below, Mai Xiaofang looked handsome and clean, did things cheerfully and neatly, although her temper was not very good, she did not look like a nonsense person; Mai Xiaohuan's demeanor is calm and calm, and her eating movements are very elegant, not at all like the wild girls in the village.

In two years, if she doesn't grow crooked, or becomes more good-looking, she will find a way to pick people up and find someone to teach her well, and in a few years, maybe it will come in handy.

The woman seemed to have said just now that there were several little girls in the Mai family, and they happened to take the opportunity to take a look in the afternoon, thinking of this, Dou Liangfu said: "I will also go over in the afternoon, and bring all the men, women and children in this room, I want to see who dares to go against you." ”

It's all because of myself! Mai Xiaoyuan couldn't care that he was still at the dinner table, snuggled up to Dou Liangfu and called shyly: "Official, you are so good." The little hand had already touched Dou Liangfu's thigh under the table, and rubbed it gently.

Dou Liangfu snorted very appreciatively, moved Mai Xiaoyuan's hand up, and patted it in the most sensitive place. Mai Xiaoyuan threw him a wink in disgust, holding chopsticks in one hand and satisfying his perverted request with the other.

After a short rest after dinner, Mai Wang's group was ready to leave for Grandpa Mai Defu's house, Mai Xiaohuan volunteered to stay and watch the house, she really didn't want to get involved in this matter. In Shan Cuihua's plan, Mai Xiaohuan is just a supernumerary, it's okay to go, and it doesn't matter if you don't go.

Seeing Shan Cuihua agree, Mai Xiaohuan showed a big smile, finally there is no need to wade into troubled waters, with this afternoon's work, the second sister's purse can be completed: "Mother, you lock the door of the room where you put your things first, and then lock the door after you go out, I will stay in my room in the afternoon and not go anywhere." ”

is still a well-behaved little girl, Dou Liangfu is more and more satisfied with Mai Xiaohuan's performance, and at the same time thinks that such a little girl will definitely be obedient, and it should be much easier to manipulate than Mai Xiaofang.

Mai Xiaoyuan insisted on taking the carriage, and Dou Liangfu was too lazy to walk the potholed and dusty village road. So the couple took a car, Shan Cuihua and her family took a shortcut, and arrived at Madford's house almost at the same time.

The village head, Pan Mingqiu, took the Mai family to stand up to greet Dou Liangfu, who was the most honorable son-in-law in Shaxi Village so far.

"In Xia Pan Mingqiu, he is the village chief of Shaxi Village." Pan Mingqiu can't remember how long it has been since he greeted others with a smile. He has been the village chief for more than 20 years, and the number of times he has seen Cheng in Pingliang County is counted with five fingers, and it is usually the villagers who scold him, and he almost forgot how to laugh.

"It turns out that you are the village head, I heard that the Mai family's property lawsuit has been fought with you for several months, why is it not over yet."

Uncle Dou Liangfu was full of style, bypassing Pan Mingqiu to the first place, and he didn't politely come down at all.

The village chief, Mai Defu and Mai Liu's faces were a little unbearable, and they didn't dare to be angry, I heard that the matter of family property was discussed in the courtyard of the Mai family's big house, and the people rushed over in groups, and no one wanted to miss the opportunity to see the excitement.

The men gathered around the carriage to comment, and they had no say in the affairs of the Mai family, and they had seen it several times, but there was no result so far, so it was better to look at the new objects, this is a carriage! Who doesn't like it when you see it.

The driver who drove the car also found a sense of superiority, pointed at the onlookers with a whip and set a rule: "You can only look at it and not touch it, and you can talk quietly, if you startle the horse, who will pay!" ”

Who will pay! Everyone had to retreat some distance, but their enthusiasm did not diminish in the slightest. After a short embarrassment in the courtyard, the village chief sat next to Dou Liangfu, and the Mai family had to be lined up according to their seniority.

"Bring me two chairs." Mai Xiaoyuan turned his head and instructed his subordinates, in fact, this sentence was for Mai Defu.

It's not bad that Mai Defu's family can find four chairs, even Mai Xiaoyuan's grandmother is sitting on the bench, how dare Shan Cuihua sit on the chair, and hurriedly stretched out her arm to stop her cousin-in-law who wanted to go to the village chief's house to borrow two chairs.

Dou Liangfu didn't have the leisure to accompany these people to worry about trivial matters, and impatiently asked the village chief how the second master's property of the Mai family planned to be divided. Pan Mingqiu, in turn, contended for his opinion. Asked what Second Master Mai's property included, Dou Liangfu sneered disdainfully, he still thought that the Mai family had any treasures! , It turns out that these broken things are worth it when they rob them for months, and they are really useless, and they are born poor.

"Divide these things into three equal parts, and then draw lots, and each room will follow this method, so be it!" Dou Liangfu came up with an idea.

The point is that the distribution is uneven! For example, the well, everyone wants it, but no one cares about the saline-alkali land.

Mai family, look at me, I look at you, I don't agree with this method in my heart, but no one dares to oppose it, let alone think of other solutions.

Under the auspices of Dou Liangfu and the village chief, the village's old Xiucai divided the saline-alkali land, wells, houses, cattle and household belongings in the Mai family's second house into three equal parts, wrote them on paper, and Mai Defu, Liu and Mai Dexi each drew a note from them.

Mai Liu's happened to pump the well, and there was a cheer in the third room, Dou Liangfu took the opportunity to look into the crowd and saw girls who were six or seven years old and similar to the Mai sisters, but unfortunately none of them could get into his eyes. These little girls are very ordinary, and they are rustic, not to mention that they are not as good as Mai Xiaohuan, and even Mai Xiaofang's appearance can throw them off the street.

Look at the sun, if you don't rush to the county seat, you have to live here at night, Dou Liangfu doesn't want to wronged himself. Stopping the noisy and unfair big house and the fourth room, Dou Liangfu warned them not to make trouble, whatever they caught counted, if he knew that someone was messing around, he would not spare it.

He stood up and hugged Mai Xiaoyuan's waist and walked out, took a few steps, and deliberately turned around and told the people in the third room that Mai Wang's family must have the right to use the well, and bullying their family was against the Dou family. They closed the door and dealt with the things assigned to each room, and took back the property they had received from each room when there was a problem in the house.

Now, no one stands up to stir up trouble anymore, Pan Mingqiu can't believe his ears, he is liberated! No more headaches for the Mai family's bad things! The rich man Dou must have been a noble person sent by God to rescue him, and he followed Dou Liangfu and sent people to the carriage all the way.

Mai Xiaoyuan pulled Shan Cuihua aside and whispered, it turned out that she came back this time not only to divide the property, she heard a news, the Tang Dashan family in Qingcheng County wanted to find a group of little girls about ten years old to be maids, they could sign a living deed, and they could get a dowry when they were released at the age of marriage.

Such conditions made Shan Cuihua tempted, she wanted to agree on the spot, thinking about the temper of the second daughter and the body of the little girl, she hesitated again, and finally decided to go home to discuss and go to the county seat to reply to the eldest daughter another day.
