Chapter 147: Behemoth Monthly Pass)
Du Li refused to bleed heavily, but Mei Tongsheng still refused to give up and wanted to take back the fifty-five acres of land he sold at home.
"No, you can't just get cheaper in the Gui family! There is no reason to sell land like this! I'll go find Mei Shunniang and ask her what she has in mind and what she is doing to do with her! " Mei Tongsheng muttered himself, and was about to go out.
Mei Xiucai happened to send Du Lizheng back. When he saw him, he quickly stopped the old man: "Dad, don't cause trouble with him."
Mei Tongsheng glared and said, "Is it cheaper for the Gui family? No! Will the family drink the northwest wind in the future?"
"Dad, is it important to 55 acres of land or 1,800 acres of land?" Mei Xiucai lowered his voice and whispered.
Mei Tongsheng thought he heard it wrong and turned to look at his son.
"The Du family's land is not 800 acres, but 1,800 acres!" Mei Xiucai whispered.
Just now, Mei Xiucai told 90% of the truth in front of Du Lizheng, but he hid it down 10% of the truth, which means he knew that the Du family’s land was eighteen acres.
Mei Tongsheng was timid and shrank his neck and said, "No matter whether he is 1,800 or 2,800, the Du family has no son, so it will never fall into you!"
Mei Xiucai sneered: "So what if you have a son? Du Qi is obscene and stupid. He can't even manage 80 acres of land, let alone 80 acres or 1,800 acres! Why did my old Taishan, who ignored his seniority, insisted on telling the sixth sister to Mei Sheng? It wasn't because he knew that Du Qi was not good enough and could not support the door, so he pulled Mei Sheng to help Du Qi!"
Mei Tongsheng was a little unhappy when he heard this.
Why? The Changsun, who is optimistic about his family, has not yet gained money, so Du Lizheng is concerned about it?
"But the fifty-five acres of land is ours, and no matter how much the Du family is, it is the Du family." Mei Tongsheng still didn't give up.
"Dad!" Mei Xiucai said anxiously: "It's too late to stare at the Du family, and he still insists on provoking Gui Wu? Be careful not to fall off the sides by then! Gui Wu's shop opened, and the Tie Monk brought four sons to him. That was the land in Xiji, can we offend? Gui Wu is still bought with real money and silver, where did this money come from? Gui Wu is not simple. If he really annoyed him, who knows how he would go crazy! Gui family holds the handle of the Mei family, and Mei Sheng is still in the town!"
Given the old grudges between the Mei family and the Gui family, Mei Xiucai has been guarding against Gui Wu's revenge or cheating him. However, when the two pledges were pledged to the final transfer, Gui Wu was upright and had no trouble.
If anyone else was there, he would have thought that Gui Wu was kind; but Mei Xiucai always thought about it, and he couldn't help but think of Gui Wu's reliance.
Gui Wu disdains to plot against the Mei family, and at the same time he is confident that he will not worry about the entanglement of the Mei family after the Mei family, or is waiting for the entanglement of the Mei family after the Mei family, so that the Gui family has reason to plot against the Mei family.
Because there are two lives in between, the Gui family has no confidence in the Mei family over the years.
If the Gui family took the initiative to plot against the Mei family, it would be too much in the eyes of the villagers; if the Mei family was wrong, the Gui family would be able to fight back in desperation.
Whether it is to say that Mei Xiucai is "careful to judge a gentleman" or that he is "worrying out of nothing", he is always wary of Gui Wu and dare not provoke him easily.
Mei Tongsheng sighed heavily. The Mei family's land is gone, and now they are counting on the fame of their children and grandchildren. If Gui Wu and a gangster like the Tie family really have bad intentions, they will be unpredictable.
I can only grit my teeth and endure it for the time being.

Gui Chongyang was worried. After a night, he felt a little unstimulated the next day.
When Mei saw this, she couldn't help but worry: "But the seasons change are uncomfortable? It's time to add clothes, and it's cold sooner or later."
There is an autumn rain and a cold. Since September, the weather has become colder every day, and Mei said so.
Gui Chongyang grew up in Jinling when he was young, and he really couldn't stand the autumn cold in the north. He coughed twice and said, "Aunt, when will I change my jacket?"
Even if I add a layer of clothes, I still have a single clothes that cannot resist Qiuhan.
Mei hesitated. The rules here emphasize "covering spring and freezing in autumn", and it will not change into a jacket until the first day of October. Even the children here add clothes late at home.
But caring is chaotic. In Mei's mind, Gui Chongyang is different from ordinary children. She looks weak and she is tired and sick when she built a house before.
"The cotton-padded clothes are ready," said Mei.
Gui Chongyang hurriedly said, "Then let's change it, the more you sit in the village school, the colder you get."
Mei immediately found it, and said with a little guilt, "It was my aunt who was negligent."
It is not only a seasonal change of clothes, but also a plum Xiaoba.
Gui Chongyang immediately changed into it, but Mei Xiaoba waved her hand and said, "I don't wear it, I'm not cold."
The children in the village are used to "autumn freezing". Mei Xiaoba is strong and naturally doesn't want to change into thick clothes early.
Mei’s girl is exquisite in red, and Gui Chongyang doesn’t feel bloated when wearing cotton-padded clothes, but it’s a little bit more crisp than a single dress.
"Aunt, the Master didn't go yesterday, so everyone stayed in the village school for nothing; if the Master didn't go today, I'll go to the town." Gui Chongyang said.
"Why did you go to the town? Looking for your fifth uncle? But didn't he just come back yesterday?" Mei said in confusion.
Gui Chongyang said: "I have itchy throat these days and feel a little uncomfortable. I want to go to the town to grab some medicine."
This is not a lie. In addition to books, Gui Chongyang brought him a box of prescriptions from childhood to adulthood. Mei knew this.
Mei immediately became anxious and pulled Gui Chongyang up and down, saying, "What else can you feel uncomfortable besides coughing? It's all my aunt who is confused. She adheres to the rules of "covering spring and freezing in autumn", which will make you suffer!"
Gui Chongyang was worried about Du Lizheng's side, so he tossed and turned last night and didn't rest well. He couldn't even open his eyes, but he just forced himself to speak.
Seeing this, Mei Shi burst into tears and said, "Don't go to school, let Xiao Badian take leave, my aunt will take you to the town for medical treatment!"
Looking at Mei's panic, it seemed as if Gui Chongyang had a serious illness and was immediately bedridden.
It’s not because Mei’s fear is that the Gui family’s only one bloodline is impossible to lose.
Gui Chongyang hurriedly comforted him: "Auntie, it's really okay. My nephew's Qiu cough is an old problem. He coughs for a while every year in autumn."
It’s easy to say, but finally comforted Mei and told Mei not to worry about following her to the town.
However, Mei was still worried that Gui Chongyang would go to the town alone and wanted to go to the second house to find Gui Chun and accompany Gui Chongyang.
Gui Chongyang pulled Mei Xiaoba and said, "Isn't Xiaoba here? Where can I bother Brother Chun? I went with Xiaoba and came back after I got the medicine."
Mei is still worried about two and a half-old children.
Mei Duo was originally in the west room and came over later. He saw that Gui Chongyang was wrong. Going to the town for medical treatment was probably a guise. There were other things. If you didn’t say it directly, it would definitely be a worrying thing.
"Aunt, where is the time to make people feel worried in the Chongyang Dynasty? Let them leave quickly and take leave early to school, so it's better to go and go early to come back early." Mei Duo's heart moved and he followed and persuaded Mei.
Mei nodded hesitantly, and had to give Gui Chongyang a few more instructions, and did not forget to explain to Mei Xiaoba.
Before the Dao Village School, I heard a noise from children in the yard.
Gui Chongyang knew that Master Mei had not come yet.
By the morning class, Mei Tongsheng had not yet appeared, but Mei Xiucai came here in person and opened the village school for three days off.
There is no need to ask for Gui Chongyang's leave, so Yang Wu asked him and Xiaoba's schoolbags to go back, and he took Mei Xiaoba directly to the town.

In Xiji Town, Baijia Gambling House and the second floor private room.
Du Li was standing there with a smile, fat, looking like an ordinary wealthy master, but behind him were eight healthy servants, and there were only a handful of people in this town, which gave him a little unpredictable momentum.
Boss Bai brought his men in. Seeing Du Li like this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Isn’t this fat man who asked the manager to abduct Mei Xiucai to be involved in gambling? What does it mean today? Come to find the back account from the gambling house and support the son-in-law? What are you trying to do?
"Boss Bai!" Du Li bowed: "I have long admired Daming, and Du is honored!"
Boss Bai said, "Haha": "This is Du Lizheng, Mr. Bai has also admired his reputation for a long time!"
Because Du Lizheng rarely appears in the town, Boss Bai has never seen Du Lizheng, but he has not pretended to be confused.
The gambling news is the most informative. No matter the closing of Du Ji Buzhuang yesterday or the fact that Sun Daxing's house was surrounded by the house early this morning, Boss Bai got the news.
The one who led people around Sun Daxing's house was naturally either someone else, or the one in front of him.
That Sun Daxing is not someone else, he is one of Mei Xiucai’s gambling friends. He brought Mei Xiucai away yesterday.
I wonder if Sun Daxing got the news, but he was not in the leasing house. Du Lizheng was out of here and went straight to Boss Bai's casino.
Although Boss Bai has someone under his command and has a relationship with the yamen, he has no reason to take the blame for other people's affairs. He happily said everything he knew: "Sun Daxing is a foreign businessman, but he does not sell goods in the city. He is just an excuse, but he listens to his words. He is actually a man-like word. He said that he had known Zhang Fu before. When Zhang Fu brought Mei Xiucai over a few times, Sun Daxing was there, and he fed the cards several times, so that Mei Xiucai won a few games."
Boss Bai regretted it very much. He thought it was Du Lizheng who trained his son-in-law himself, but who would have thought that it was really a plan by outsiders?
Although he had never seen Du Lizheng, he dared not underestimate him. Not only did he gain a single family, he also gained a position in the real estate market. There were many industries with land and shops. Who could do it without two brushes?
Du Lizheng had no intention of fighting against Boss Bai, and nodded slightly and thanked: "Thank you, Boss Bai for your trouble, Du was bothering me!" After that, he hugged his fists, without delaying, and took the people away.
Boss Bai looked at Du Lizheng's back and was also surprised.
I thought Du Li was so imposing that after asking, he would pay back his son-in-law's debt after asking. But I don't know if it was not enough for the time being, or for other reasons, I wouldn't mention it.

Outside the Yuan Family Academy, Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba arrived and invited the students who came in to pass on the message.
After a while, Gui Wu came in a hurry.
Seeing the two of them coming, Gui Wu blinked his eyes, but did not directly ask Gui Chongyang for the reason.
Gui Chongyang talked about taking medicine, and Gui Wu said to Mei Xiaoba: "I will take your Chongyang brother to get medicine. You go home first, tell your aunt, and ask someone to make two good dishes at noon!"
Mei Xiaoba responded immediately and turned around to pass the message to Guiwu's house.
When his uncle and nephew walked towards the pharmacy, Gui Chongyang said directly: "Uncle Fifth should be careful recently. Du Lizheng called the man in somewhere, and he looked fierce. Was he angry about the Qiu Taxation? But be careful that he was anxious to jump over the wall!"
Gui Wuben was worried about something bad at home. He heard that it was Du Lizheng's affairs and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a little gloating: "Don't worry, I'm afraid he doesn't care about Gui's family."
Du Lizheng's confidant Zhang Fu colluded with an outsider and made a trap for Mei Xiucai, and then defected to his family. Because Gui Wu was staring at this side, he was tracking him down.
When Zhang Fu entered the capital, he lived in a house in Chongwenmen. That house was the property of the Xining Hou Mansion.
