Lao Jin had long regarded the Du family's ten-acre farm as a dish. How could he allow changes? He was worried about Miss Liang's marriage, but he did not take the matter seriously. He had already made a guarantee at the Marquis's Mansion.

Now that Gui's family is buying land, in Lao Jin's eyes, it is just a snatch of food from his mouth.

Mei Xiucai pointed to the private room and said, "Who else can it be? This is the boss of Baiweixiang. The Du family was scared twice before. My brother-in-law was expelled from the county school, and the shop manager ran away with the money. They all came to the ground. My father-in-law was like a frightened bird, so the Gui family agreed to buy my father-in-law. It was really cheaper for the Gui family." At the end of the day, he was already gritting his teeth.

Now that the Mei family is poor, the Gui family is booming. Mei Xiucai is naturally full of resentment, but the hatred on his face is not only for the Gui family, but also for Lao Jin in front of him and the Hou Mansion behind him.

He is addicted to gambling and cannot extricate himself. It’s not that Mei Xiucai doesn’t regret it, but he just can’t stop it.

But Mei Xiucai remembers how he got the gambling addiction. The one who abducted him from gambling was Zhang Fu, the shopkeeper of Du Ji Buzhuang, and Zhang Fu colluded with Lao Meng who borrowed money to him. Lao Jin personally admitted that Lao Meng was a gangster in the Hou Mansion.

My gambling addiction was designed by Mei Sheng's little bastard and Du's family.

Don’t the Hou’s Mansion want to marry? Then let’s marry! Don’t you want to buy land? Then let them buy land!

Mei Xiucai sneered in his heart.

Lao Jin couldn't help but slammed the table: "I really got the courage of Xiong Xin and Leopard. How dare I compete with the Hou Mansion for land? What does this Gui Wu relied on? A young son-in-law first opened a restaurant and bought land with money. It was too rampant!"

Mei Xiucai curled his lips and said, "What's the reliance? That's the Tie Boss! Tie Boss is the biggest slut in Sanhe. He has a cute son and a captain in the county government. He has always been domineering. I heard that someone has suffered from his life. Who dares to provoke their family?"

As for the close relationship between the Xin County Magistrate and the Gui family, Mei Xiucai hid it.

The Marquis' Mansion and the Gui family both hold grudges from Mei Xiucai, and they hope that the two families will fight each other. The unlucky one will be the Gui family, but as Lao Jin said before, now that the emperor has moved the capital to Beijing, the nobles must be careful when doing things, and they may not be able to join forces with the new county magistrate to bite the Marquis' Mansion.

No matter which side is unlucky, it is a good thing for Mei Xiucai.

Lao Jin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

If the Gui family had an official background, Lao Jin would not be afraid of it; but the backer of the Gui family was the Tie family, so Lao Jin was really not afraid of it.

In Lao Jin's eyes, the Iron Monk was just a retired veteran soldier in the army. He became a local snake with his family man Ding Fanmao. It would be fine to scare the common people, but it was nothing to the real powerful people.

Mei Xiucai was done with a complete failure, remembered the serious business, rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Jin, let's not talk about the land purchase matters. What is the matter between Brother Sheng and Miss Liang?"

Lao Jin said: "Of course, it depends on what Mr. Mei means. But if you don't force it, you can succeed. If you don't succeed, you just think that the fate has not come!"

Mei Xiucai hurriedly said, "Why haven't you arrived? It's just right. First, Brother Sheng and Liang Da Nian were classmates at the same age, so it's cheaper to go to school together in the future. Second, the two families are not far away, and it's really a marriage. Liang Yiren misses her daughter and is convenient for her to take care of her! Just if she wants the Du family to quit the marriage voluntarily, she has to work hard. My stepmother-in-law is not an inner son and her aunt's mother-in-law, but a greedy person. If she wants to settle the previous engagement silently, she may have to start with her stepmother-in-law."

Mei Xiucai was willing to take on the marriage and make money, but he loved face and could not speak out for Li.

Lao Jin had prepared a sum of silver in his hand, but he was not short of money, but he was unwilling to be a sucker.

Before, Lao Meng gave Mei Xiucai a sum of money, and Lao Jin also gave it once last time. Although he did not have good intentions, he was still worth it.

Now that Mei Xiucai is asking for money in his words, isn’t he arbitrarily wrong?

Lao Jin looked at Mei Xiucai with a smile and said, "Since the Mei family is willing to get married, it is naturally the business of the Mei family. I believe that Mr. Mei has always been a talented person and will definitely come up with a proper way!"

Mei Xiucai also wanted to ask for three or five hundred taels, even if the other party said he would be able to leave one or two hundred taels. How could he be blocked by Lao Jin's words?

Mei Xiucai's face looked a little ugly and said with a forced smile: "I don't hide it from Brother Jin. It's really a good woman who cooks without rice!"

Lao Jin sneered in his heart, but he didn't dare to force Mei Xiucai to force Mei Xiucai to brute. He took out a purse and said, "The big money is waiting to buy the eldest lady's property. I don't have much to use. I will prepare 100 taels for Mr. Mei first. But these money is not small money, and each sum must be recorded. In the ugly words, if the two families really become in-laws, it will be good for me. The dignified Marquis' Mansion does not make any decisions about recovering the accounts for three or four hundred taels of silver for the in-laws. But if the marriage fails, I may not be able to calculate the accounts well, and the Marquis' Mansion's account is not easy to delay!" At the end, he paid attention to Mei Xiucai's expression and brought a few warnings.

Mei Xiucai grabbed the purse, feeling the heavy pressure on his hands, and immediately felt the body smooth and smiled, "Don't worry, Brother Jin, although it's a bit troublesome, it can be wrapped around me!"

The late fifth-rank military officer's wife had such a decent marriage. If the Liang family had either had a son, she would be willing to send her nephew into the marriage to Xiucai Mei.

It’s a dream to get married just by wanting one hundred taels of silver!

Lao Jin had already stood up, opened the door of the private room, and looked into the lobby downstairs.

The lobby was bustling with mats, and there were two rows of guests waiting for the seats at the door. A waiter came forward attentively and sent hot tea and bamboo waiting number plates.

As the weather is cold, people are more willing to eat hot food. The food shop is good and cheap, so it naturally becomes the first choice for the people. Medium-class families in the town who don’t like to open fire will occasionally come to satisfy their cravings.

Although this place is not as good as a big restaurant, it can be seen in three chains, and it is such a grand occasion.

Lao Jin showed greed on his face, and he felt more and more that he had a good vision and could achieve his full achievements.

Mujia Village, village school.

The winter is short, and the time for school starts in October is half an hour ahead of schedule, and Shin-jeong rings the bell.

Gui Chongyang came out, and Mei Xiaoba had already walked out of the "scare" of Mei Sheng's return, thinking about what to eat for dinner. He was just when he was growing up. He was hungry for two more meals a few days ago at the Mei family, and now he is getting more and more greedy.

Because of his poor health and the fact that Gui Chongyang was filial and vegetarian, he did not value the desire for food, and was also a little greedy for Mei Xiaoba.

When they arrived at the intersection, the two of them left Yang Wu, and soon they arrived at the Gui family's old house.

As soon as they entered the yard, they smelled the aroma of sauce.

Mei Xiaoba sniffed and was overjoyed: "This is mushroom sauce!"

Even Gui Chongyang smiled and was vegetarian and light. Apart from vegetables and tofu, there were only various fungi that tasted sweet.

These mushrooms from Gui's family were picked in summer and autumn. In addition to eating some of them, drying two bags, and pickling them two jars. Now there are few dishes in winter, so it's just right to take them out and add them.

Dinner is ready, braised sauce made of mushrooms and dried tofu, and hand-rolled noodles.

Although it is vegetarian, there is a lot of sesame oil added to the braised noodles, which is very delicious. Even if Gui Chongyang has a small appetite, I can't help but add half a bowl. As for Mei Xiaoba, who has a large appetite, I ate four bowls before putting it down.

Mei was worried and soaked two bowls of hawthorn water for Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba to digest food.

Mei Xiaoba went to copy the book, which was the homework that Gui Chongyang left for him.

Since Mei Xiaoba just went to school for literacy, she planned to study for one or two years, and she didn't have to follow the imperial examination system, so she could naturally read the key to remembering words and writing.

As for Gui Chongyang, Mei was left in the upper room.

Before Mei could speak, Gui Chongyang thought of the reason: "But Mei Sheng is here? Did he come to plead with Mei Qingshu and his wife?"

Mei nodded and shook her head, "Here, it's not for the lawsuit over there! He... asked you what step did you have to investigate Ding Zheng back then!"

Mei Sheng's reaction was very straightforward, obviously he was holding a grudge, hating Du Lizheng, the mastermind behind the scenes, and also wishing his unkind and unrighteous uncle, so how could he let the Gui family go?

Mei said the conversation and reaction of Mei Sheng carefully, worriedly, and whispered: "Double Ninth Festival, are you thinking of a way to resolve it? If it really can't be resolved, then..."

People have different relatives and distant relationships. Mei Sheng and Gui Chongyang are two. Mei family naturally get close to Gui Chongyang.

In this world, the relatives that Mei family most likes are niece Mei Duo and the heir of the eldest wife Gui Chongyang. As for Mei Xiaoba, the nephew, who had the previous incident, had nothing on his face and was indifferent to his heart.

As the saying goes, "If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it." If Mei Sheng hated the Gui family, he would have made great achievements and would probably be ahead of Gui Chongyang in the future, which would be a disaster for the Gui family.

The best way to prevent is to block Mei Sheng’s future.

But Mei Sheng was indeed the victim of the incident back then. Mei himself also experienced great changes and understood Mei Sheng's unfairness.
