Chapter 128: Duty and Calf Protection Monthly Pass)
On August 20th, the village school resumed classes after a short three-day holiday.
Mei Tong's waist has improved, but her face has drooped even longer, and she is as if someone owed him money all day long.
The Medu family has already booked the engagement wine date, which is the second day of September.
Mei Tongsheng had long regarded Changsun’s marriage as a “strange thing”, not to mention matching it to the princess, the princess, and also the daughter of a daughter. Unexpectedly, it was the daughter of a little landlord. He was frustrated and could not be smeared for a while.
If Mei Tongsheng only looks at Gui Chongyang, Yang Wu and others don’t like him, but now Du Qi is added to this dislike him.
On August 20th, Mei Tongsheng designated Gui Chongyang, Yang Wu, Mei Xiaoba and Du Qi.
Fortunately, others had been through a few years of school, but Du Qi was the first time. He couldn't carry the water and couldn't sweep the floor cleanly. In the end, he could only let him sprinkle water. It was also uneven, so he got half of his body of water.
Du Qi's wet clothes stuck to his body, and his little face showed a little pitiful.
Gui Chongyang looked at the broom in his hand, then looked at the servant's room not far away. He narrowed his eyes and greeted Du Qi to come and said, "It's autumn after all, and it's not a joke to catch a cold. There is still a quarter of an hour before morning class. Go home quickly and change your clothes!"
Du Lizheng's family is not far from the village school, so it's enough to walk for a quarter of an hour quickly.
Du Qi was already uncomfortable, but he was worried and said, "What if I come back late, what will the Master catch?"
Gui Chongyang said: "It's been several days off. The Master will go to the senior class to check his homework later. When it comes to the junior class, it will be after the first (9:00 am)."
Du Qi then felt at ease and hurriedly went home to change his clothes.
Mei Xiaoba then came to Gui Chongyang and said, "Brother Chongyang, does Grandpa Shan dislike us? We have been here for more than half a month and have been on duty for four or five times? Well, I didn't offend him, so I didn't like us?"
Mei Xiaobahan is a fool, but not a fool.
Obviously, each class has a duty list arranged by the first class, but Mei Tong was angry and was not satisfied, so she ordered someone to sweep it. Gui Chongyang and Yang Wu were all on the list. Recently, even Mei Xiaoba was not spared, and today she added Du Qi.
Yang Wu also came over, with a puzzled look on his face.
In the eyes of students, teachers are fair and majestic people, but Mei Fuzi has majestic power, but she really can't talk about justice.
Although class sweeping is not a big job, it is unhappy to be like this all the time.
Gui Chongyang looked at Yang Wu, and then Mei Xiaoba said, "The Master disliked me, because he was angry about the dowry of my aunt and cousin; he disliked her cousin Yang, because he was disliked by Uncle Yang's kindness and honest treatment; Xiaoba is most likely the same as me; Du Qi's attitude has changed today, because he was unhappy about Medu's marriage."
After hearing this, Mei Xiaoba and Yang Wu became even more confused.
"What's the matter with my father being honest about others? He was annoyed?" Yang Wu said in confusion.
Gui Chongyang chuckled and said, "It's also Gui's in-laws, so Uncle Yang's kindness makes him mean and unkind, and he is naturally unhappy."
Yang Wu understood now, and his mouth twitched, which made him feel a little more afraid of Mei Tongsheng.
Mei Xiaoba frowned and said, "The dowry of my aunt and cousin are both the previous property of the second house, and it is the share that my aunt and cousin deserve. What can I take my anger?"
Gui Chongyang said: "If you understand, people will naturally think this way. If you are confused, you will feel that if you don't give it, you will be your own. If you give it, it will be uncomfortable like cutting your own flesh!"
Mei Tongsheng's name of stinginess is not a secret. Mei Xiaoba opened her mouth and said nothing.

Du Lizheng's family, Du Lizheng went to Xiji Town, but was not at home, only Li's family was at home.
Li was dissatisfied with his son's study in a village school, so he urged his husband to solve the problem of the county school as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, the son was bullied here without the solution.
"What's going on? Being bullied? Which black-hearted seed is pouring water on you?" Li looked at his son's embarrassing appearance, like an old hen, and immediately became excited.
"It's either bullying, or the Master is instructing us to do sweeping, and my son is responsible for sprinkling water. He makes the water on his body by himself." Du Qi quickly explained.
Li was still angry: "Can you wet half of your body by sprinkling water? It must be that they bullied you, so why would you do something light and carefree?"
Du Qi was amused and crying: "Mom, this is all about taking care of his son. His son cannot carry water and cannot sweep the floor. This is the job of sprinkling water!"
Li was still uneasy: "Care? Is there someone who cares for people like this? Do you think that the little boy from the Gui family assigned him? He did it on purpose except him!" After that, he was about to get up, looking at the situation that he was going to the village school to look for Gui Chongyang.
Du Qi was immediately anxious.
When he was a child, he was ignorant. After he came back from playing with the children in the village, he complained in a confused manner, which made his mother think he was bullied, which led to his mother going to another child's house to make a big fuss.
Once or twice, no one in the village's children paid attention to Du Qi anymore.
Du Qi didn't want his mother to "protect her baby" again to protect herself, so she pulled her mother's arm and said, "Mom, you can reason too. It was obvious that they were dragged by me by the Master to call the duty. The Master's face was eight feet long this morning, and his eyes were dull. He stared at his son for a long time, and then ordered his son to be on duty. Chongyang, Xiaoba and the others were just by the way. I couldn't carry water and couldn't sweep the floor, so I picked the lightest and cheapest sprinkler, but I couldn't do it well!" At the end, I was also ashamed.
Among the few newly met friends, except Yang Wu is one year older than him, Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba are both younger than him, but they are better than him everywhere. Is he too useless?
"What a beautiful Mei Congshan. He pretended to be a grandson in front of him. It turns out that the revenge is here!" Li was immediately annoyed when he heard this.
The marriage between Du Mei and the two families was not expected by Li. First, he was unwilling to marry Du Liujie'er, a stepdaughter who had no moral character, to marry a son-in-law with a long-term future; second, Mei Sheng was too outstanding and not controlled by the Du family. Supporting him to help Du Qi, he could not say that he would turn the main and secondary in the end, giving him the opportunity to peek at the Du family's industry.
After all, what Du Lizheng and Li did for their son. However, the inner woman always cares about the land at her doorstep, and her heart is also narrow; men have to consider more things, but they are not careful.
Du Qi was afraid that Li would go to the village school to make trouble, so he immediately said, "Mom, it's so uncomfortable to wear wet clothes, my son goes to change his clothes."
Li's attention was changed, and he immediately went to find a single dress that had no upper body and asked Du Qi to change it.
With this delay, time has passed almost.
Du Qi hesitated for a moment when he thought about Mei Tongsheng's attitude, and said, "Where is the Mei family, mother and father, think about it carefully. Is it so sweet? Not to mention that Mei Fuzi is not happy, even Mei Sheng may not be happy. It would be bad to offend someone in order to be a relative!"
It’s Du Liujie. If you don’t pass by, your husband’s family will not be happy. How can you get better in the future?
Li waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this. If you go to school, you will never be bullied in vain."
Du Qi hurried out, but met Du Liujie.
Sister Du Liu was so angry that she trembled all over and said with tears in her eyes: "You mother and son are so shameful to me. You have to make the marriage apart before you are happy?"
Du Qi was stunned by the scolding and murmured: "Sister Six..."
Sister Du Liu said angrily: "Don't call me Sister Liu, I don't have a younger brother like you! I know that my father said he wanted to marry a dowry of 100 acres of land and 800 taels of silver and me, which made you both mourn your mother and you wanted to provoke this marriage!"
Du Qi still didn't know the allusion of 100 acres of land and 800 taels of silver, and became more and more confused.
Mrs. Li picked out the curtain and looked at Sister Du coldly.
Du Liujie has been honest these days and is in a state of great pain. She understands that she can no longer deceive herself. No wonder her stepmother always acts like not to care about her. She used to be proud of her as a "legitimate daughter". Now she can't say she is laughing at her.
I was disliked by my own father and had a bad relationship with my stepmother. My parents' family will not be reliable in the future. The only one I can count on is the future in-laws' family.
The Mei family’s marriage is the best marriage that Du Liujie can reach, not to mention that Mei Sheng is still the one she has underestimated. Now she swallows her anger just to make the marriage go smoothly.
Who would have thought that before the stepmother could make trouble, her half-brother would interfere? Du Liujie was really angry and annoyed.
But he was a fat fool born to a second-hand unfaithful woman, but he was a legitimate son. Why?
Although Mei Sheng has a good future, his family has a meager family and he meets a cruel uncle and aunt again.
Du Liujie had already planned how to use the 100 acres of land and 800 taels of silver. The more he valued it, the more he was worried about gains and losses. Therefore, he was worried that the Li and his son would plot against their dowry and immediately made trouble.
Even when Li came out, Du Liujie was not afraid, but instead became brave and raised her chin and said, "I'm talking about it? I've said nothing?"
Du Qi felt a little aggrieved on his face and wanted to say something, but was grabbed by Li.
"If you don't recognize Lao Qi, Lao Qi will not lack you as your sister! Remember what you said today, no one wants to interfere in your marriage. Since you only recognize the Mei family and just accept it, it is your own business in the future. If we don't care about your wealth, don't expect to plunder your parents' home in the old age!" Li saw a figure in the corner of his eyes and said lightly.
"Hmph! Don't think that having a son can take up all the property of the Du family! I am the daughter of the Du family, and I must give me a little bit." Du Liujie just thought Li took a step back and said with greater confidence.
"I don't know how much should I give you?" Du Li said with a dark face and sinisterly.
Sister Du Liu was so beautiful: "Dad..."
"I don't recognize Lao Qi, but only recognize the Mei family? It's rare, but I still remember to recognize my father?" Du Lizheng sarcastically.
"Dad misunderstood. My daughter didn't mean that. It was because the wife and Lao Qi were reluctant to give her a dowry to her daughter and didn't like this marriage!" Du Liujie said quickly.
Li took Du Qi next to him, but he didn't want to defend himself, and secretly scolded Du Liujie for being stupid.
If Du Liujie only talked to Li, she wouldn't have even heard of Du Lizheng, but she shouldn't have involved Du Qi. She had just finished saying that she didn't recognize Du Qi as her younger brother, but now she doubted Du Qi like this. She fell into Du Lizheng's eyes and was just having an external heart, and she ignored her brotherhood in order to fight for a dowry.
