Chapter 278: The eldest lady of the Mei family is back
It was only after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the people who were left in the town sent back the news, saying that the eldest lady of the Mei family had returned to the town with her mother's family.
After getting the news, the third aunt went to the town, first, to see if the business that she had just received in Mei's house had any impact, and second, to inquire about the news of the eldest lady in more detail!
It was almost a little day, and I didn't come home until it was dark. According to the news heard by the third aunt, the eldest lady came back this time and came prepared!
The first thing she did when she came back was to take back the Mei family's mansion, and then take back all the fields that the clansmen had gotten!
Erya was most concerned about money, and couldn't help asking, "How many things did those clansmen of the Mei family get over?" Did the eldest lady take them all back this time?"
The third aunt thought for a while, and then said: "Our people have been inquiring, and judging from the news we have obtained now, these clansmen of the Mei family have not gotten many things, and they should all be things that are inconvenient to sell!
Erya nodded with a smile on her face: "It seems that the eldest lady has taken back the big head, and the remaining unimportant ones will be counted as the cost of keeping things for them!"
Li Muyao leaned against the wall, didn't raise his head, and said casually: "The eldest lady is here with her mother's family, and she can go back with so many things this time, it seems that her mother's family is very powerful!"
The third aunt took a sip of tea, "I heard that the power of the Song family is greater than that of the Mei family, and the people who came here have quite an identity, so the Mei family don't dare to come with them, so the collection of things is quite smooth!"
Er Ya said: "What about those businesses outside? Didn't they let the families divide up the same? What does the Song family plan? Isn't it going to take it back?"
The third aunt shook her head, but her expression was not very relaxed: "There are a lot of things that are sold by the eldest lady herself, so I shouldn't forcibly take them back, but I just don't know what the Song family means, in case they are also worried about these, maybe they will give some silver and take back the store again!"
Li Muyao nodded slightly, almost all of his own shops were bought from the eldest lady, although they were also out of silver, but because the eldest lady was in a hurry, it was also cheap!
If the Song family feels sorry for these shops and wants to use the money they sold to recover the property, it will really not be easy to say at that time! Although they can not sell their own houses, it is not wise to offend the Song family on the surface, especially when these properties are secretly arranged by their own families and they don't want people to know the details!
However, the Song family is not the Mei family after all, even if the power is greater than the Mei family, but his roots are not here, it is impossible to control all the industries in the town in his hands like the Mei family, and it is somewhat beyond his reach to control the town!
Thinking of this, Li Muyao said to the third aunt: "Do you know what the main industry of the Song family is?"
The third aunt didn't think about it, and said: "It's mainly the business of grain and cloth, so his family has a lot of land! There are some other shops, but they are all concentrated in their town, and all kinds of shops are quite miscellaneous, and I haven't heard that they are too large!"
Li Muyao said: "If this is the case, then the grain shop in the town is afraid that the Song family will definitely find a way to take it back, then let's take a look at their approach to the grain shop, and then consider the next step!"
Both of them nodded, and they also understood Li Muyao's plan, since the Song family's main way is grain, then the grain shops must be inevitable, and most of the grain shops in the town were bought from the Mei family!
So how can the Song family take back the grain shop? The means used can also explain what the tone of their family's next action against other shops is!
Erya said with a contemplative face: "No wonder the eldest lady sold so many things, but left the land, this is because she knows that these lands are of great use to her mother's family, so let the clansmen watch it first, and this time she will take back the land, and it will save a lot of trouble!"
The third aunt also nodded: "This land is already there, no one can take it away, and the land can't be used in this winter, so let the Mei family watch it first! The eldest lady will go back if she doesn't come back just now! It's not long before she farms, no wonder she is in such a hurry to come back, this is for fear of delaying the farming time!"
Li Muyao sat up slightly straighter, and said to the third aunt: "When the eldest lady came back this time, didn't she plan to deal with the bandits? That's the culprit who killed the Mei family!"
The third aunt shook her head: "I didn't get any news! I'm also afraid that the eldest lady will never forget the matter of the fourth child and Zhi'er, in case she is unwilling and thinks that the bandits are not easy to deal with, so she wants to take action against our family?
Erya didn't care, she grinned and said: "I look at the Song family, I won't touch us lightly, don't forget, the recipe for growing mushrooms that the eldest lady took should be in the Song family now! If the Song family really cares about this thing so much, then our family is safe for the time being!"
The third aunt and Li Muyao glanced at each other, but they didn't expect Erya to think thoroughly, and from the Song family's attitude towards their own family, they could also see that they attached great importance to mushrooms!
If the Mei family wants a mushroom recipe if it is really the meaning of the Song family, then since the Song family has obtained the recipe, they will experiment with it, once they find that there is a problem with the mushroom, the first thing that comes to mind is their own family, so they should not move their own house for a while!
This can also show that the people behind the Mei family are the Song family, so whether they have a grudge with the Song family or not, they must be careful, if the Song family cares about this mushroom so much, they are afraid that they will not let go of their own family in the end.
And the more they don't move their families, the more they plot!
Erya looked at Li Muyao and whispered: "In this case, isn't it better for the fourth uncle not to come out?" lest the Song family see it, I'm afraid that there will be extraneous branches!"
Li Muyao looked at the second girl out of the corner of his eye, he really wanted to put the fourth uncle into the space! With the fourth uncle's temperament, he could endure loneliness? Don't be stupid if you don't suffocate him!
But as Erya said, it really makes people see the fourth uncle, and it's really not good! But those bandits also need a family member of their own! Without the fourth uncle watching, she is not at ease!
After thinking about it for a while, in the end, Li Muyao still felt that it was best to let the fourth uncle outside, but how could he make him invisible?
Suddenly, Li Muyao showed a weird smile on his face, and said to Erya: "Did the shopkeeper bring a mask to the third boy last time? Is it a monkey face?"
Erya nodded: "Yes! a piece of wood with a face painted on it!"
"You just follow the shape of this piece of wood, smelt a metal! Do it according to the shape of the fourth uncle's face, turn around and let him take it on his face, and this matter will be solved! If you are afraid of delaying eating, you can also make half of your face, just expose it below your nose!"
