"You? You? Are you my little brother? ”

Mei Xuexiang looked at the man walking in front of her and was pleasantly surprised, stood up from the stool tremblingly, and was stunned for a moment before running quickly to the door.

"Auntie, I'm your own nephew."

The man hurriedly walked up to Mei Xuexiang, knelt down with a "plop", and kowtowed three times in a row.

"My own nephew? The son of Zhengchun? ”

Mei Xuexiang pulled the man up and looked at it carefully.

I saw that this man was in his fifties, and his temples were already gray, but his face was ruddy and full of energy.

"Like, like!"

The more Mei Xuexiang looks at this man, the more he looks like his father, his little brother, Mei Zhengchun.

"Auntie, this is my father, his name is Mei Xuan."

Mei Fangfei came over to introduce Mei Xuexiang.

"Mei Xuan, why did you suddenly come to Clear Water Bay?"

Mei Xuexiang held Mei Xuan's hand tightly, her aunt loved her nephew, and she was better than her mother since ancient times.

"Auntie, I have been living in Shuizhou with my mother and Fang Fei since I retired. Fang Fei, go and help your grandma come over and see your aunt. ”

"Sister!"

"Auntie!"

Without waiting for Mei Fangfei to go out, a woman helped an old lady to come to Mei Xuexiang to kneel urgently, Mei Xuexiang hurriedly reached out and held the old lady's hand:

"Sit down, brother-in-law, nephew-in-law, you have been living in Shuizhou?"

"Auntie, we ......"

"I'll tell you."

Mei Xuan sat down and continued to tell the story of the Mei family and the Mei family's courtyard.

After Mei Yuan went insane, she wandered the streets of the provincial city all day long, looking for her daughter. Some crazy and shameless men coveted her beauty and even insulted her from time to time.

Mei Xuan and Zi Jasmine were too busy dealing with Mei Zhengchun's lawsuit and Mr. Mei's illness to take care of Mei Yuan's safety at first, and when they realized that it was too late, Mei Yuan was no longer human.

Purple Jasmine was in pain, she found the plum garden, but was refused to enter the house by Mr. Mei.

Mei Xuan also felt sorry for his own sister, he wanted to send Mei Yuan to a psychiatric hospital, but at that time, the medical institutions in this area were not very sound, and Zi Jasmine never thought that his daughter had gone insane.

If you can't stay at home, where can you send the plum garden? Mei Xuan racked her brains and couldn't think of a good place to go.

"Xuan'er, come here."

Mr. Mei called Mei Xuan to the bed.

"Grandpa, what do you command?"

"Xuan'er, send her to the Mei family's courtyard in Shuizhou, but you must not let your grandmother know the details."

"Grandpa, how does my sister live in the courtyard like this?"

"Sister Xi is a strange woman, she will naturally have a way, and maybe she can make your sister better."

Although Mr. Mei was annoyed that Mei Yuan did not abide by women's morals and ruined the name of the Mei family, after all, she was his own granddaughter, could he watch her being bullied and become more and more sick?

Since it is my Mei family's flesh and blood, I want her to die in the Mei family's courtyard when she dies. But the Mei family's courtyard has been entrusted to Lin Xizhen, and she also wanted Lin Xizhen to have a quiet residence. Now that I have sent this unchaste and delirious granddaughter back to the small courtyard, where will I put my old face?

My Mei family has been disgraced in the provincial capital, do you want to throw it back to Shuizhou? In Shuizhou, at least so far, everyone is still thinking about the good of my Mei family, and the ancestors of the Mei family can still have a good reputation.

According to Mr. Mei's request, Mei Xuan took the plum garden from the provincial capital to Shuizhou.

Along the way, Mei Yuan cried and made a fuss, resolutely refusing to leave the provincial capital, thinking that only in the provincial capital could she find her daughter.

Mei Xuan had no choice but to give her a sedative.

When he arrived in Shuizhou, Mei Xuan never made up his mind to leave Meiyuan alone in the courtyard.

After wandering around the small courtyard for a long time during the day, there was a thunderstorm and strong wind in the middle of the night, so Mei Xuan had to knock on the gate of the small courtyard.

Seeing Lin Xizhen turn on the light, Mei Xuan bit his finger, replaced ink with blood, and hurriedly wrote the word "Mei" on a cigarette box paper, he wanted to remind Lin Xizhen that Mei Yuan was the Mei family.

Lin Xizhen went downstairs to open the door, and Mei Xuan ran away. But he didn't run far, hid in the corner of the alley in the distance and peeked, and was relieved to see Lin Xizhen dragging the plum garden into the small courtyard.

This night, Mei Xuan turned to dawn around the Mei family's courtyard, and when Lin Xizhen went out to buy something, he entered the courtyard through the secret passage to inspect the situation in the plum garden.

Mei Yuan was lying on the bed in the guest room downstairs in the middle courtyard, and Lin Xizhen had already wiped her body and covered her with a quilt.

"Sister, sister......"

Mei Xuan called to Mei Yuan softly, Mei Yuan did not respond, Mei Xuan sat quietly at the head of the bed and stared at his own flesh and blood sister, but he fell asleep.

"Grandpa, why are you back too?"

Mei Xuan saw an old man standing in front of him.

"Xuan'er, I'm your great-grandfather, don't worry about the garden here, with me."

The old man was kind and peaceful.

"Great-grandfather, the junior is unfilial, and he has ruined the reputation of the Mei family, you can punish him."

Mei Xuan knelt down.

"Xuan'er, my Mei family has been hanging pots for generations, saving lives and helping the wounded, and it has indeed always had a good reputation. But when it comes to the end, it's not that your grandfather is incompetent, nor is it that your next generation intends to ruin my Mei family's good reputation. The world makes people miserable, and there are many disasters that you can't hide if you want to. Remember, in the future, the Mei family will still be low-key and settle down, as long as they don't forget to hang the pot to save the world and help the wounded, they don't need to be rich and expensive. ”

"Great-grandfather, great-grandson keep it in mind."

Mei Xuan just wanted to kowtow to the old man again, when a "clang" sound of the door closing woke him up from his dream.

"Sister, goodbye!"

Mei Xuan heard that Lin Xizhen was back, and hurriedly left the small courtyard from the dark passage.

"Xuan'er, are you serious?"

Back in the provincial capital, Mei Xuan told Mr. Mei about the dream of his great-grandfather.

"Grandpa, how dare your grandson fool you?"

"Daddy, the boy is coming to see you."

Mr. May died suddenly that day.

Not long after taking care of Mr. Mei's funeral, Mei Zhengchun was in the spring, and Zi Jasmine was seriously ill.

After Zi Jasmine recovered from her illness, she insisted on coming to Shuizhou, and she wanted to accompany her in Meiyuan.

"Mother, grandpa said that you must not disturb grandma."

"But how can I rest assured of your sister?"

"Mother, with Grandma Xi, my sister will definitely be fine."

"But I have to go see her."

Mei Xuan had no choice but to take Zi Jasmine to Shuizhou, and in the dead of night, she entered the Mei family's courtyard through the secret passage.

At this time, Mei Yuan was already living in the backyard, just a few days after the miscarriage, her body was weak, and her face was haggard.

Looking at her daughter through the window, Zi Jasmine's heart was like a knife, her tears wet her clothes, and she wanted to go in and recognize her.

"Mother, calm down!"

Mei Xuan took great pains to pull Zi Jasmine out of the Mei family's courtyard.

"Xuan'er, you can't bear to watch your sister suffer alone in the backyard?"

"Mother, it's not that I'm ruthless, I'm worried that my sister will be more irritated and sick. Now that my sister is finally getting better, we must not disturb her. ”

"Then you're going to let your sister suffer in that backyard for the rest of your life?"

"We have to take a long-term view, both to make sure that my sister can fully recover and not to let Grandma Xi find out."

"Then I'll take your sister out of here secretly."

"Mother, didn't I say I couldn't stimulate my sister? Why did she go crazy? One is that she lost her daughter, and the other is that she feels shameless to face her relatives. If you suddenly appear in front of her, maybe her condition will worsen and she will be completely incurable. ”

"What then? Anyway, I won't go back to the provincial capital, I want to take care of my daughter in Shuizhou. ”

"Mother, do you think this is good? I rent a house around here, you live in Shuizhou, and take care of your sister privately. As for me, I'll come over whenever I have time to treat my sister. ”

"Okay, let's do it."

"But you must remember that you must not let your sister and Grandma Xi find out, and I can only accompany you to see your sister once a week through the secret passage."

"I have a number, the key is that you have to heal your sister well."

From then on, in the dead of night on weekends, Zi Jasmine and Mei Xuan entered the small courtyard from the secret passage on time to visit the plum garden.
