Mei Tongsheng didn't know that she had done something stupid after being drunk, because she had never been so "generous" and was quite proud of her heart.

In the past ten years, for the fact that Mei's niece was brought into the Gui family to guard the Gui family, the Mei family's father and son have been criticized many times. Now that the dowry land is given and the dowry is given, we can't suffer a loss in vain, and it can just wash away the previous reputation. Therefore, within two days, the news that Mei's aunt and nephew each received eight taels of dowry and five acres of dowry land spread throughout the village.

Everyone was surprised by the big deal of Mei Tongsheng's "iron rooster", but they were all from the same village. No one knew who, and no one thought that Mei Tongsheng was generous.

Everyone can see that Gui Wu from "Xi Gui" has come back. With a person who has established a family, he is no longer as weak and bullied as before. Didn't the Mei family also give in?

For a moment, no one dared to discuss the matter of Gui Wu’s “familiarity” and “returning to the clan”. As for Gui Chongyang, who returned to Mujia Village with Gui Wu, no one would take it seriously.

Just as Mei expected, the Mei nephew's aunt and nephew each had five acres of land and eight taels of silver dowry, which immediately attracted a lot of attention. Families with many sons in the countryside may not be able to get five acres of land even if they were separated; not to mention that there were eight taels of silver, which was a small ten-stop coin. It was really a "huge sum", and the daughter-in-law was enough to marry two.

Whether it is Mei Duo, who is in her early age or Mei's 28-year-old, someone has begun to inquire.

It was just because we had been alienated from Xigui for more than ten years and had no friendship and had no time to go directly to the door. Before these people found a way to visit the Gui family to ask about their marriage, they heard new news from "Xigui". The second house of the Gui family wanted to repair the house, and the old house of the Gui family wanted to get a house.

Is the Gui family developed?

Before the villagers could argue and guess, true faith came out again. Mei took out sixteen taels of silver and wanted to regain the Gui family's old house. Mei's uncle and nephew had already gone up the mountain to cut down trees.

This is as uncomfortable as spending money on your own. Even if you don’t have a son who wants to get married, everyone has a relative. Even if you don’t wait to be a mother-in-law, you can only sell it for a good match. Why is the dowry money gone all of a sudden?

The most uncomfortable thing was Mei Tongsheng. After receiving the news, he was so angry that he jumped at home: "This prodigal woman, this prodigal woman! He paid for the Gui family to rebuild the house. Why didn't she remember that she had a dear uncle!"

Mei Xiucai yawned and said, "If you want me, my father is too generous. That's sixteen taels. Now it's cheaper for the Gui family. I can see that Gui Wu is not a good boy. He has encouraged Shun Niang to make trouble before, so he must have come for the money!"

If it weren't for the sixteen taels of silver that Village Chief Du had supplemented, Mei Tongsheng would not have been sitting on the spot and was like a "spending family" like Mei, and he would have to come to the door for a while.

Now that he has the sixteen taels of silver that Village Chief Du has compensated, he has been slightly better than healing Mei Tongsheng's losses. Although he is greedy for money, he is not stupid. Village Chief Du obviously wants to calm down the situation and does not want any disputes in the village. In addition, Mei Tongsheng himself has no confidence, so he is honest.

"Dad, the land deed in Shunniang's hand cannot be left in vain anymore. You have to transfer the property, otherwise it will be difficult to guarantee that Guiwu will have to make plans again?" Mei Xiucai suppressed his sleepiness and said with his eyes lightened.

Seeing this, Mei Tongsheng couldn't help feeling distressed: "How late did you last night? It's only the provincial examination next year, and there is more than a year left, so don't work too hard!"

"I understand, dad, weren't you there with the Shanghai Xiucai and the others last night? When we talked about Shiwen, we rested a little late." Mei Xiucai said.

That circle was something Mei Tongsheng had never been able to survive in his whole life. He was envious and jealous, so he stopped asking, and said, "I saw you, Uncle You, have not, but Mr. Hong's house in the past few days..."

Mei Tongsheng mentioned the Hong family and remembered the sixty taels of silver that he had missed. His heart tightened and his beard was pulled off.

When Mei Xiucai heard this, he immediately raised his mind: "Dad, I came back for this matter. That was sixty taels of silver, and it would be a pity to miss it for nothing. Not to mention that Mr. Hong is rich and rich there. If you make a good deal with the Hong family, you don't have to worry about Gui Wu being bad."

Mei Tongsheng snorted coldly, "What can you do if you are a pity? I told me, your father-in-law is really innocent, and he puts down his face and is a good person. What can I do? Now that the dowry is given out and the documents have been signed. If I repeat it, let alone what will happen to the Gui family and Shunniang, your father-in-law will not be happy."

Although Mei Tongsheng said "big brother" in front of Du Lizheng, he also looked down on the Du family.

Mei Xiucai said: "The Hong family just wants to marry a daughter-in-law, but it's not that dead girl Mei Duo."

Mei Tongsheng glared at Mei Xiucai: "Who else is besides Mei Duo? Xiaoyato is only six years old this year. Do you want to send her to be a child bride? No, the Mei family can't afford to lose that person, and your wife won't be willing to do it!"

This "Xiao Yatou" refers to Mei Xiao, the daughter of Mei Xiucai. She is only six years old this year. Because she is a young girl, she is loved by her parents. She followed her cousin. Her brother's character is named "Rive" as a radical, and her name is Mei Xiao.

Mei Xiucai waved his hand quickly: "Where did my father think of it? I even want to send it off, and the Hong family has to accept it. Mr. Hong is still thinking about 'Holding grandson'. I think that Mei Duo's dead girl is not good, so I will find another candidate in the village."

Mei Tongsheng's eyes lit up. In this way, even if the sixty taels of silver cannot be put into his pocket, most of the remaining ones will be left.

"I'm just thinking a little bit. The only daughter in the village is not that dead girl, she can't hang herself from a tree. But she has to share the sixty taels of silver, which is heartbreaking." Mei Tongsheng frowned.

"That's nothing. Who made that dead girl disobedient?" Mei Xiucai said: "But there is no need to share evenly. Now the countryside betrothal gift is only two or three guan. Even if you give more, a few taels of silver will be stopped."

"Is there a suitable candidate?" Mei Tongsheng suddenly felt spirited: "It's not the only one who is Mr. Hong, Uncle You, is watching him, don't ask someone to take it first!"

"Why is there no one? Isn't the Li family a daughter who is about the same age as a dead girl?" Mei Xiucai said with a smile.

"That daughter is just right. The Li family is really not so good. Let's tell her about this marriage, which is also a good deed." Mei Tongsheng said.

The father and son mentioned the daughter of the Li family is Li Taoer, the "post-behind daughter" of Li Jinbao, the second son of the Li family who died in the "Nine Dynasties" back then. She is one year younger than Mei Duo and is thirteen this year.

Li Taoer lost her father before landing, and her mother jumped into the river before landing, and was a little pitiful woman without a father and mother. Although she lived with her grandmother and uncle, she was treated as a maid all day long, and being beaten and scolded was common, and she was more miserable than a child with a stepmother. Therefore, the father and son said this.

On the mountain, Grandpa Gui Er, Gui Wu, Gui Chun and Gui Chongyang are all there, and there are Yang Jinzhu who come to help, Yang Wu and his son, Zhang Da and Zhang Erliang from Grandpa Zhang's family.

Although this mountain is from the village, the woodland on the hillside has been divided."

The three brothers of Xigui have more than ten acres of forest land, with some old poplar and old elm trees planted on it, and no other production is produced, so the forest land is not valuable. But the scene in front of me is infuriating.

"These two rows of poplar trees were planted after the old house was built. It has been more than ten years. When it was time to grow, I came to see them in the beginning of spring. They were all well-behaved, but I didn't expect that they were all lost now." Grandpa Gui Er said angrily.

There were only tree stumps left in front of me, and more than twenty poplar trees were stolen, and the rest were all crooked and unsophisticated.

On weekdays, it is the first time that the village is stealing and robbing wood.

The Yang family and the Zhang family who were accompanying each other were also shocked. They did not expect that someone would come to steal trees, and they stole so many trees at once.

Gui Chongyang and Gui Wu looked around at the same time, and their eyes fell on the path between two woods.

"Whose forest land is there over there?" Gui Wudao.

"From the Li family." Grandpa Gui Er frowned.

Gui Chongyang spoke: "Has his family sold wood in spring?"

Grandpa Gui Er nodded, as if he remembered something, limped towards the forest land of the Li family, and said as he walked: "More than ten years ago, the two families were in-laws, and they cut down old trees together and planted new trees."

Everyone followed him. If someone was next to him, everyone would not have suspected that he was a thief for nothing. The boss of the Li family was a "father who was not a filial son" and grew up with the widow's mother. He was a famous scoundrel in the village.

In just half a cup of tea, Grandpa Gui Er stopped, and there were also wooden stakes left behind for logging in front of him.

Gui Chongyang went up to count, and more than 20 trees were cut here, and then said, "The Li family always needs a seller to sell wood. Once they ask how many wood the other party has transported, they can know if it was the Li family selling it secretly."

In fact, there is no need to check, everyone knows that this is the case. If it weren’t for stealing and transporting it out while selling wood, villagers would always notice such a big deal on weekdays, and it would be impossible for them to transport more than twenty full-grained poplar trees silently.

Gui Chun said angrily: "The Li family is too much, let's go and ask them for poplar trees!"

Grandpa Gui Er frowned and said, "'Catching thieves and filth', what's the use of without a certificate?"

Gui Wu's face looked very ugly. The Li family was also the Gui family's in-laws, but like the Mei family, he defected to Du Lizheng and has been hurt by the Gui family many years.

Gui Chongyang is beside her, and she can't help but fall into deep thoughts.

Although the Li family is close to the Gui family, they have never had any contact with the Gui family. The wall in the middle is built to a height of seven feet. Therefore, Gui Chongyang has not had any contact with the Li family for a few days after returning.

Li Jinbao, the second son of the Li family, died in the "Nine Dings" that year, and the Li family is also the creditor of Gui Chongyang.

Moreover, thirteen years ago, the Li family died alone. In August after Li Jinbao's death, Li Jinbao's wife gave birth to a posthumous daughter and committed suicide after she jumped into the river. This was all the evil caused by Gui Yuan.

The older generation of the Li family's men who were in charge of the family had long died, and only the fierce old lady was in charge of the family.

The old lady was desperate to survive and occupied the Gui family's new house and then smashed away sixteen taels of pension from the Gui family. Eight taels were under Li Jinbao's name, and the other eight taels were counted as compensation given by the Gui family.

This is all obvious, but in fact, the Li family occupied more than this at the beginning. When they occupied the Gui family's new house, they did not have time to pack up the Gui family. Not only did they say rice, flour, grain and oil, but even the clothes were covered, which almost "left out of the house" with the old couple in the Gui family.

Whether it is a house or money, it cannot be exchanged for human life, so the Gui family has long accepted it. But now, it has become more and more difficult for Gui Wu to be so unhappy.

"I'll go back to the town in the afternoon and go to the wood shop to have a look." Gui Wu said with a dark face.

The Gui family's advantage is not that easy to take advantage. The Li family is so unscrupulous, so they have to ask him whether Gui Wu agrees. If the Gui family indulges this time, others will also bully him tomorrow.
