Chapter 64: One Man for a Thousand

Mei Jinfeng covered his face and was full of depression, he wanted to marry his youngest son a daughter-in-law, after all, Mei Zhiming is now twenty-seven or eighteen, and in their place, his age is really a little old.

If he still can't marry a daughter-in-law in the past two years, then he will basically be a bachelor in his life.

But he didn't want to ask Mei Zhijun for money.

Mei Zhijun's life is indeed better, but no matter how good it is, there is no credit for him, Zhao Huiying, and Mei Zhiming.

If they had helped Mei Zhijun and She Yufen, it would be a big deal for him to let out this old face and let Mei Zhijun scrape together some money for him.

But the problem is that not only did they not help Mei Zhijun and She Yufen at all, but Zhao Huiying and Mei Zhiming have not dismantled people's platforms.

Now Zhao Huiying is so arrogant and calculating to ask people for money, which is simply testing Mei Jinfeng's moral bottom line.

"Leave this alone, I'll tell her." Although Mei Zhijun has a complicated feeling of "mourning his misfortune and being angry with him" for Mei Jinfeng, he still can't bear to let his old father continue to be embarrassed and embarrassed.

"Let's eat first. I'll come with you when I'm done eating. While speaking, Mei Zhijun took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Mei Jinfeng.

She Yufen placed Mei Yali and Mei Hongwen in the innermost part of the kang, Mei Yali was next to Mei Jinfeng, and Mei Hongwen, who needed She Yufen's little care to eat, sat between Mei Yali and She Yufen.

As for Mei Zhijun, he first poured half a glass of liquor for Mei Jinfeng, and then sat down next to Mei Jinfeng and opposite She Yufen, picked up chopsticks and dumplings to eat.

Except for when Mei Jinfeng entered the house at the beginning, Mei Yali shouted "grandpa" with Mei Hongwen, and she never made a sound after that, but Mei Hongwen kept talking to She Yufen in a milky voice that made people laugh.

Mei Jinfeng is very fond of his eldest grandson, although he has always been unable to straighten his waist in front of Zhao Huiying, but as long as it involves Mei Hongwen, Mei Jinfeng's courage can immediately be several times greater than usual.

Although the courage after becoming older is still not enough for him to fight against Zhao Huiying, the joyful smile from his heart when he sees or even mentions Mei Hongwen makes everyone see his preference for Mei Hongwen at a glance.

Moreover, in private, he always went behind Zhao Huiying's back to get close to Mei Hongwen.

What did he secretly bring a basket of apricots to Mei Hongwen, what stuffed a few eggs or goose eggs into Mei Hongwen's arms, and what played with Mei Hongwen while the farm was slack, within the scope of his ability, Mei Jinfeng always expressed his joy and love to Mei Hongwen.

In stark contrast to this, he was cold to Mayali.

It's not that he doesn't love Mei Yali, it's just that his love for Mei Yali is obviously far less than that of Mei Hongwen.

In Mei Yali's previous life, when Zhao Huiying scolded Mei Hongwen, Mei Jinfeng would always protect Mei Hongwen, but when the person who was tortured was replaced by Mei Yali, Mei Jinfeng chose to watch coldly every time without exception.

Although even if Mei Jinfeng protects him, it won't make a big difference, after all, he has never suppressed Zhao Huiying even once, but whether he has the will or not is an important criterion for Mei Yali to distinguish between distant and close relatives.

After dinner, Mei Zhijun followed Mei Jinfeng to Zhao Huiying's side.

He came back quickly, and She Yufen was only halfway through washing the dishes, when he pushed open the gate and entered the courtyard with a calm face.

At that time, Mei Yali was writing the homework left by the teacher one by one, and Mei Hongwen was throwing away the dried grass in summer and autumn for the rabbits raised at home to eat.

Seeing Mei Zhijun coming in, he immediately walked towards his father with his little short legs, "Dad! ”

Mei Zhijun saw his son's red apple face, and the expression on his face suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny, "Hongwen is good." ”

As he spoke, he picked up Mei Hongwen and entered the house.

She Yufen stopped what she was doing and looked at him, "Quarreling again?" ”

Mei Zhijun said "um", "Let me give her three thousand yuan, I really don't know how she came up with it." ”

Although he was already trying his best to suppress it, She Yufen could still hear the anger in his words.

She didn't ask Mei Zhijun if he agreed, this kind of outrageous request, Mei Zhijun would not agree unless his brain was broken.

"She's not going to bring the big brother back again, is she?"

"Can you not move?" Mei Zhijun sneered, "If you don't move the three of them back, who will she point to give her a waist?" ”

She Yufen sighed, "I'm not worried about the eldest brother, the third child is estimated to be bad behind his back at most, but your sister-in-law is ......."

Mei Zhijun's face darkened, "Don't be afraid." If she dares to do this, I'll pull her in. ”

She Yufen said in her heart, "Isn't this a thousand self-inflicted injuries to the enemy?" ”

But the problem is, she can't think of a better way.

Half a month later, Mei Zhizhong, Mei Zhiming and Mei Zhifeng all returned to Heigang Township by shuttle.

Zhao Huiying, who had been holding back her breath for half a month, assigned Mei Jinfeng to Heigang Township to pick up people early.

That night, Mei Zhijun came back from the mountain, and Mei Zhizhong went to the door of his house.

"Why did you call me?" Seeing Mei Zhizhong, Mei Zhijun was surprised, "Yali's grandmother is not afraid that the two of us will confess in advance?" ”

Mei Zhizhong was amused by him, "I took the initiative to come, I told the old lady, I will come over to persuade you first." ”

Mei Zhijun glared at him, "You're not trying to persuade me to pay, are you?" ”

Mei Zhizhong smiled undeservedly, "I'm really here to persuade you to pay." Of course, it's not for you to pay 3,000. ”

Hearing his last words, Mei Zhijun couldn't help but be curious, "Then how much do you want me to give?" ”

"A thousand." Mei Zhizhong stretched out an index finger, "Each of us will give a thousand, and the bride price is enough." As for the rest, then we can't take care of it. There is no reason for the third child to marry a daughter-in-law, and the money will let us be the elder brother. And to be honest, my family can't come up with any more money. ”

Mei Zhijun frowned and was about to speak, Mei Zhizhong raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "I know you can't get used to seeing Yali spending money indiscriminately, and I'm not happy that she asked you for money so confidently to give money to the third daughter-in-law." But the third child and us are brothers after all, he has been a single man all his life, and our faces are not glorious. ”

Mei Zhijun was moved by what he said.

Indeed, in their Heigang Township, if there is an old bachelor, then this family will inevitably be poked in the back by the neighbors.

He frowned and thought for a moment, "But I'm afraid that as soon as we start this way, Yali and her grandmother will think about letting us pay for anything in the future." ”

Zhao Huiying's ability to lose his family has long been fed up, and he finally broke up, and after a few good years, he doesn't want to "return to the pre-liberation period" because of his temporary soft-heartedness.
