Gui's parents' room had a hearty lunch today, half a piece of fish stewed, loach with sauce, fried leeks with dried tofu, cold radish skin, and a pot of spinach soup with clam meat.m.

The silver carp caught by Mei Xiaoba was more than two pounds, and Gui Chongyang ate vegetarian food and not fish. The remaining three people couldn't finish it. After Mei Shi finished it, she asked Mei Xiaoba to send half of it to the second room.

When relating to each other, you must always have come and go.

Grandma Gui took the roasted fish and knew that it was Mei Xiaoba who caught it. She praised Mei Xiaoba very much, but did not let him come back empty-handed, and stuffed a basket of dough melons for him.

This melon was grown by Grandpa Gui Er's family. It was just ripe and sweet and doughy. Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba both liked it, so Mei Xiaoba happily brought it back.

At the dining table, Mei Xiaoba was worried and she was eating deliciously; Mei Duo was thinking about going to the market for a few days, and she was in a good mood.

After all, it is in the countryside, and the rules are not as rigid as the city.

When they were in the market, Mei Duo could travel with Gui Chun. The two were childhood sweethearts, but now they have been engaged. Whenever they meet, they blush and their hearts beat, but they are looking forward to meeting each other again.

Gui Chongyang does not speak or speak, and Mei always remains silent.

As long as you pay attention, you will find that the aunt and nephew didn't pick up food for half a day, and only picked up a corner of the plate in front of you.

When the two found something was wrong with each other, they looked at each other, but didn't say anything at the dinner table.

After lunch, Mei Duo washed the dishes and Mei Xiaoba went to the backyard to feed the chickens. Gui Chongyang said to Mei Shi: "Aunt, don't worry about the Du family. Uncle Wu asked someone to stare at me."

Mei couldn't hide her worries and said, "The Du family hasn't done anything in recent years, so it's better to avoid his sharp edge. Du Li was looking at him as a Bodhisattva, but he was ruthless."

Back then, because the two families questioned that Du Li was a foreigner and was not suitable for being a master, he "killed the chicken and scared the monkey" and found a way to expel the two families.

Although I don’t know what Gui Chongyang and Gui Wu were planning, the Mei family had to worry about their uncle and nephew. Gui Wu had some relationship in the town, but that was in the town; Gui Chongyang was a little clever and his age and experience were placed here.

The weakness of the Du family is Du Qi, but Du Qi is not something that anyone can touch. Li is a lunatic and will ignore it for his son.

Gui Chongyang shook his head and said, "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps going. Now it is not something I and my fifth uncle can decide! We are just to protect ourselves now. Otherwise, will the Du family plan to plot against the Gui family again? After all, Du Lizheng is Lizheng. When he is in service, he can directly report to the yamen to Dingkou!"

Mei hesitated for a moment and said, "Dongyang, my aunt knows that you are a good child who knows the truth and has ideas. She just can do some things but can't do some things. Whether it's for the things that happened back then or to guard against the Du family."

Gui Chongyang looked at Mei Shi calmly without answering immediately.

Mei was afraid that he would use any means to make plans for Du Qi for the sake of the past.

Although Gui Chongyang felt no disgust towards Du Qi, he did not agree with Mei's opinion.

"What if the culprit was Du Lizheng? Then, Du Qi, who was born and raised by Du Lizheng for more than ten years, was still innocent?" Gui Chongyang said: "Don't my aunt think there was something wrong with the matter back then? It was not too much to be careful in the village. Why was it so coincidental that the minor officials in the county yamen could not collect the money? Grandpa waited until dark in the yamen and was told that there was no way to stay in the town. Why did his father, who had always been kind and timid, suddenly had the courage to steal the money? I don't need to say anything about selling land to raise money later. It's a coincidence that the Gui family really did not have the word "recitation" and was unlucky all the way, or was someone planning to do it later?"

Mei's face turned pale when she heard this, and her body was already unstable: "It's really the Du family?"

The "Nine Dings Difficulties" thirteen years ago was the turning point in Mei's life.

Before that, she had a wealthy family, loving parents, brother and sister-in-law who loved her, and a childhood sweetheart cousin fiancé. Although she was about to finalize the marriage date, she had only expectations and no anxiety because she married her uncle's family.

"The Difficulty of Nine Dings", everything has changed.

The fiancé ran away from home in a disaster, and he didn't know his life or death; his brother died suddenly, his parents died one after another, and his sister-in-law was forced to marry. He came to the Gui family with his niece who was in his cradle. This was the only way out that Mei could think of.

If all this is not an accident, it is not an accident!

Mei didn't dare to think about it. She dreamed of the days in the boudoir for many times and woke up and cried secretly.

"It must be the Du family!" The one who answered Mei's family was not Gui Chongyang, but Mei Duo who picked up the curtain.

"If it weren't for what happened thirteen years ago, Grandpa Gui would still be the respected Guilizheng, and Du Lizheng, a foreigner, would not be the position of Lizheng!" Mei Duo said calmly.

Mei Duo is different from Mei. The incident thirteen years ago was a painful pain for Mei Duo. It was just a distant past for Mei Duo, so she could view this matter from the perspective of a bystander.

Both Mei and Gui Chongyang looked at Mei Duo, and they all felt a little regretful.

You shouldn't say this at home.

Mei said, "You Uncle Gui Wu will go and check it out, you don't have to worry about these things."

Gui Chongyang hesitated for a moment and said, "Cousin, you should know this too."

The forced marriage to Mei Duo's biological mother was Mei Tong's husband and wife, but Mei Duo lost her father, grandparents, and the root cause of losing the protection of her elders was still the "difficulty of the Nine Dings".

Mei Duo's little face was tense, and he took Mei's hand and said, "I know that my aunt wants me to be happy, but I don't think about these things. But I am my father's daughter, and he died inexplicably. Can't I know the cause and effect?"

Mei Shi grabbed Mei Duo's hand and said earnestly: "But, my aunt has no other hope. I just hope you will have a safe and healthy life in the future."

Mei Duo disagreed and looked at Gui Chongyang.

Gui Chongyang shook his head and said, "You must not harm others, but beware of others. If the incident was just an accident, the Du family was involved in selling land and was a slaughter. There was nothing to say. After all, it was not their family who caused the injury. If the incident was arranged by the Du family from the beginning, then do you think the Du family would be guilty? With nine lives in it, they would not be afraid that the Gui family would know the revenge? Even if the Gui family did not investigate or ask, it would be their thorn in their side and thorn in their flesh. Not to mention that the Gui family now has the fifth uncle, and there are three of us, and the Du family has only one fat Du Qi. Even if the Du family has several sons-in-law, they are outsiders. Who can do their best for the Du family? My cousin's life is Brother Chun, and the Gui family is the root of Brother Chun. If the Du family plots against the Gui family, how can my cousin have a safe life?"

Needless to say, I only talk about the female relatives of the Gui family, the third grandmother and Li remarried, Du Erniang regretted marriage, the second grandmother and Yang were poor and poor, and Mei relied on embroidery to support the family's livelihood, both of which were lost and made their own choices.

Gui Chongyang is not a person who talks a lot. It is rare to break up the relationship and say it to Mei, because she is afraid that she will forget to be on guard and will become the weakness of Gui's parents' room in the future.

Mei Duo nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right, if I were Du Lizheng, I would definitely be wary of the descendants of the few people I killed back then, and I might even have the idea of ​​eradicating the roots."

Mei Shi shivered and said, "Where is it? There is no king's law yet?"

Mei Duo said: "It's not that it's a life-threatening thing. It's not impossible for the two families who were forced to leave in the early years."

Mei fell silent, sighed, looked at Gui Chongyang, and also looked at Mei Duo, and said, "You are all sensible children, and your aunt is not long-winded, but you must remember that no matter what the truth was back then, it is the most important thing to be a living person, and it is the most important to live your own life. If you have any mistakes, I will be terrible!"

"Don't worry, aunt, I still want to be the head of the Gui family, and I will protect myself well." Gui Chongyang said hurriedly.

Mei Duo said unhappily: "Auntie is going to live a hundred years old, waiting for me to be filial to Chongyang, but you are not allowed to talk about yourself anymore!"

*

Du family, go to the room.

Du Qi stood on the ground, tears circling in his eyes, thrusting, but he refused to cry.

"Pa", "Pa"!

Li had red eyes, holding a feather duster in his hand, whipping Du Qi's back one after another, and said hatefully: "Do you dare?"

Du Qi's mouth twitched in pain, but he refused to respond a word.

Li was so angry that his liver hurt: "What kind of ecstasy soup did Gui Chongyang give you? He was just a private child with an unknown biological mother, full of heart, and he was obviously not a good thing!"
