Chapter 113 Stepmother and Uncle and Aunt Monthly Pass)

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole family is happy. Even poor families have to buy a reunion dinner, let alone a wealthy family like the Du family.

The Du family has a cook and a maid, so Li does not need to cook. Then, as the hostess, Li must take care of it and make a recipe.

Six dishes, six bowls, twelve dishes, chicken and fish, half of which are what Du Li Zheng likes, the remaining half is what Du Qi likes, and the other half is what Du Liujie likes.

The stepmother was in trouble, so Li would not leave any handle on such trivial matters.

When the moon rose and the food was put out, Du Li was looking at the table and nodding with satisfaction.

Sister Du Liu picked the corner of her mouth and whispered: "I'm worried!"

Li smiled harmoniously and said, "What's the matter? My sixth sister is in October and has a hairpin. I'm afraid it's rare to celebrate the holiday at home in the future. Fortunately, she is close to home, so it's cheaper to go back to her parents' home anytime in the future."

After all, Du Liujie'er is an unmarried daughter. No matter how generous and stingy she is, she will never help but blush when she mentions herself.

Du Li looked up and looked at the young girl's eyes and said, "Sister Six's birthday is October? There are not many days left, so please ask the Mei family to prepare."

Although Du Liujie'er had already received the news and knew that Du Li was about to promise her to Mei Sheng, she was still happy now after receiving the accurate letter.

Du Qi was holding a fried ball, and he couldn't help but say happily when he heard this: "Sixth Sister wants to tell Brother Sheng? Then he will be a scholar's wife from now on. Oh, no, next year, he will be a Juren's wife."

Although Mei Sheng has always been lukewarm and has never treated Du Qi differently because he is a relative of his marriage, Du Qi still respects and gets close to this young man who is good at studying from the bottom of his heart.

Li smiled and said, "Then I want to congratulate Liu Jie'er here."

Sister Du Liu blushed and had a childish look: "Mom makes fun of her daughter, but her daughter doesn't support her..."

Li said: "Men are married when they are old and women are married when they are old. Why are they embarrassed by their sister? Mei Sheng wants to be beautiful and talented, and is a rare good son-in-law in the countryside. When the news spreads, I don't know how many young ladies are jealous."

Sister Du Liu lowered her head, and her face was filled with slight pride.

Du Lizheng narrowed his eyes, thinking that the root cause of his son being dropped out of school in the county school was Mei Sheng?

Not to mention elsewhere, there are not just two families in the town who want to marry his daughter to Mei Sheng.

If Du Li retreated when encountering trouble, he would not have reached the position of Li Zheng.

The other party seems to be "suppressing people with power", but in fact it is "bluffing". Otherwise, if you just send someone to the Mei family to sign up for a marriage contract, what's the point? It's obvious that you have some concerns about hiding your head and tail in this way.

Du Li couldn't think of any other possibility at all, so he couldn't help but scold his second son-in-law in his heart. Du and Mei's marriage have not been publicized to the public. Only the Du family and Mei Xiucai know about it. The Du family did not tell the public, so only Mei Xiucai was not strict.

Mei Sheng has become a hot commodity, but Du Lizheng will not let go.

"Tomorrow, please come over to discuss Xiaoding!" Du Lizheng told Li.

Li replied with a smile, and Du Qi was also smiling beside him.

Although the Mei family also held a reunion dinner, it was not reunited.

Mei Tongsheng looked at the dinner table with a pair of grandchildren, and was a little disgusted, frowned and complained: "There are so many masters in the county school. This is the holiday. What homework is left? I don't care about others at all."

It turned out that Mei Sheng did not come back for the holiday, but asked someone to send a message back, saying that the teacher had left his homework and urged him to hand over it, so he didn't come back.

Mei Xiucai was eating in a depressed state, and when he heard this, he felt the food in his mouth felt more and more uncomfortable.

Mei Xiucai was only in her thirties, and it was very decent for me to be a scholar last year. But because she passed the college entrance examination at the same time as her nephew, the limelight was stolen by her nephew who was "little Sanyuan".

Mei Sheng is one of the twenty students in the county school. He can not serve military service or corvee service, and can not be tortured and ate imperial grain. Mei Xiucai, who is the uncle, has twenty students in the county school, and has a higher student.

This is also the reason why Mei Xiucai just took the title in the county school and didn't love the past. Because when others see him, they would say that this is "Uncle Mei Sheng".

Mei Xiucai's own fame was also obtained step by step. He has always been proud of himself, so how could he be willing to be overwhelmed by his nephew?

Mei Xiucai was unwilling to listen to the old man mentioning his nephew, so Du was even more unhappy. His two children were sitting in front of him. The old man only did not see him, and his whole heart was on the eldest grandson, which made both children take care of him.

Du was resentful and said with a thorn: "Do you really have to work hard on your homework, or have you found an excuse not to come back? It's time for the Dragon Boat Festival, and it's time for Mid-Autumn Festival? Will you not come back even when you are in the New Year?"

Mei Tong has always been proud of Changsun. When she heard her daughter-in-law's sarcastic sarcasm, she immediately threw her chopsticks: "Even if Sheng'er makes excuses and doesn't come back, it's your unkind elder who is forced to do so! I tell you Du, and you will be repelled by your small movements in the future. If I know that you dare to make things difficult for Sheng'er again, I will not spare you!"

In front of his daughters, his father-in-law did not leave any affection for him. Du was so embarrassed that he said unwillingly, "Is my daughter-in-law unkind to behave? A baby who has never been weaned has been pulled so big, but he is so full of his body?"

Mei Tong looked down on women, and even looked at Du, she said to Mei Xiucai: "Look, who is this against? Whose father-in-law said one thing, and his daughter-in-law said ten things?"

Mei Xiucai had no choice but to glar at his wife and said, "It's a big holiday, please shut up, how uncomfortable it is?"

Du was depressed, but her husband opened his mouth but shut up.

But after dinner was finished and back to the house, Du complained to her husband: "The old man is becoming more and more oriented towards Mei Sheng, just think that Zhi'er is not his grandson."

Mei Xiucai was also depressed. He said that "no father is better than son", but the Mei family "no father is better than son". The old man is not biased towards the eldest grandson. He clearly thinks that his grandson has a future than his son. He thinks that he is kind and intimate, so he will benefit from it in the future.

"That kid, I'm afraid I'm blaming you and me in my heart. I've become more and more disobedient this year!" Mei Xiucai said gritting his teeth.

It is not easy to live with an orphan without a father or mother?

Mei Xiucai is a petty brother who has always been jealous of his more talented than studying; Du had fallen in love with Mei Da in his early years, so he naturally hated Mei Sheng's biological mother Yuan, who had snatched his marriage, so he took his anger at Mei Sheng.

With such an uncle and aunt, Mei Sheng had a hard time when he was a child, and his situation was not better until he studied and started studying.

When Du heard this, he couldn't help but worry: "What should I do? It would be fine if I just ignore us, but what if I take revenge in my heart and take revenge on us?"

As things come to this point, Du is not unwilling to regret it. If she had known that Mei Sheng had the talent for studying, she would have been able to coax her children well in the future, rather than being worried like she is now.

Mei Xiucai touched his chin and said, "Auntie Liu is about to go to bed, so it is better to make the marriages of these two families public as soon as possible."

When Du heard this, he couldn't help but feel depressed. The Du family was her mother's family, and she was confident in the Mei family. He naturally didn't like girls who were also Du's girls to come in; but there were too many people paying attention to Mei Sheng's marriage. If she didn't finalize it, she might not be able to let Mei Sheng climb to the high door tomorrow, and she would not be able to accept it.

The two evils are weighed down and Du can only cover up and comfort herself now. However, even if the marriage is finalized, Liu Jie'er cannot be too proud. Liu Jie'er is sharp-tongued and dared to fight with her last time. Otherwise, she would suppress her arrogance and would not know how to be arrogant in the future.

The next day, August 16th, the day when Gui Wu moved.

Although the couple almost left their homes and returned to Mujia Village at the end of May, Mrs. Jiang then made up her dowry for her daughter and brought several carriages.

In addition to those, the couple lived in Mujia Village for more than two months and added many items one after another.

Therefore, the six carriages that Gui Wu hired from the town in advance were loaded with a full load, and there were only a few boxes left.

Seeing this, Grandma Gui said, "You Brother Zhang, please take a car?"

There is a ox cart in the Zhang family next to the Gui family, so Grandma Gui said so.

Zhang Da was helping, and saw this and said, "Yes, Lao Wu wait first, I'll go back to get a car." After that, he was about to leave.

Gui Wu hurriedly grabbed it: "Brother Zhang, don't make trouble. These boxes were packed out by Chun'er and his aunt for the family."

The Gui family has two houses and five, and everyone has a share, each with a box; the Gui family house is no exception, even Mei Xiaoba, who lives in the house, has a piece of fabric.

Grandma Gui frowned and said, "This is all the dowry prepared by her in-laws. How can she let go of her so much?"

Grandpa Gui Er shook his head in disapproval.

It was Jiang who came forward and said, "Dad, mother, these old fifth and daughter-in-law are not filial to the two elders. The family is all due to the hard work of their sister-in-law. All we can do is this kind of filial piety. If the two elders don't accept it, we will have no shame to move to the town."

Grandma Gui was still unhappy, but Grandpa Gui waved his hand and said, "Since it is a filial piety of a wife, you should keep it. This is not the reason why it is not filial piety to lose it!"
