After receiving the letter from Grandma Jie Si, Meng Jie came to the main courtyard very quickly.
After hearing what Mu Yunhan said, he smiled and said, "I know about the Song family, and I also know about the Zhou family."
This person from the Song family was a royal censor. He was very good at causing trouble when he was young and offended many people.
Probably at the beginning of last year, his son and his daughter-in-law had a fight, and the daughter-in-law returned to her parents' home.
Then the son disappeared when he went to pick up his daughter-in-law and never came back. He was neither alive nor dead.
The daughter-in-law couldn't wait for half a year, so she left her grandson and asked to go home with Li. They had no choice but to agree, but they were furious to death.
Then the daughter-in-law remarried in less than two months, and she married a relative of Song Yushi's political enemy, so Song Yushi became angry.
Being too ill to be on duty and being ostracized, he had no choice but to resign, sell his property, and return to his hometown for retirement.
Then, as for the Zhou family, with their two daughters, one is a concubine in the palace and the other is the third wife of the Gu family, which is not a good thing in itself.
Anyway, I won’t mess with those who are better than me. It’s better not to bully me than if I don’t bully them.
It's funny to say that the quarrel between the two families only started over a trivial matter - digging a field bank.
Strictly speaking, the land of two families is next to each other, with the field ridge as the boundary.
Then one spring, the tenants of the Zhou family dug a few more hoes, moving the field ridge back a step further toward the Song family, occupying a little more land from the Song family.
Not to be outdone, the Song family immediately organized manpower to dig them back.
After digging around, there was a fight.
Even though the two masters were more restrained and cunning, and no one was killed, they both hurt people and lost their lives.
Since then, the two families have become enemies.
As long as the land is plowed every year, trouble will occur.
The Song family asked someone to make granite and bury it along the field ridge, determined not to make it easier for the Zhou family's hoes - and by the way, they took a step away from the Zhou family.
The Zhou family was furious and raised the boundary stone buried by the Song family, and the two families fought again.
The censor of the Song Dynasty filed a complaint before the emperor, saying that Zhou's concubine allowed her mother's family to commit murder and occupy officials' fields.
In the end, of course, he won, and Zhou Jiabai received a beating and had to bury the rocks back for him - of course, he also lost a step of land.
Finally, the son of Song Yushi suddenly disappeared. He was unlucky, and everyone pushed him against him, and that was it.
Grandma Rui smiled and said: "It's not a good thing if a dog bites a dog."
Mrs. Meng said: "That's not to say, this matter was started by the Zhou family in the first place. It was not a big deal, just a bunch of small things.
The Song family has no son, two old men are seriously ill, and they have to raise a grandson. They are forcing the family to have no way of living. If they don't give a copper, they will occupy the village for nothing. It's too much."
Mu Yunhan deeply agreed.
Grandma Rui quickly lowered her hands and stood in awe: "Auntie taught me a lesson, and my niece-in-law has learned a lesson."
Mrs. Meng waved her hand and told Meng Jie: "Go over and talk to the Zhou family. If you can do it, it will be considered a good deed."
Meng Jie agreed and immediately went out to handle the matter.
Mu Yunhan said: "Thank you, godmother."
Mrs. Meng smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, I just thought about myself."
Everyone will grow old. The Song family still has a grandson, but he doesn’t even have a daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Meng couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know what happened to that evildoer."
"Didn't I just send you a letter a while ago, saying it was very good?" Grandma Rui smiled and glanced at Mu Yunhan with a strange expression. (To be continued)
