Chapter 181 Mei's Wisdom
Mei Duo was confused, but she also came out with Mei and Gui Chongyang.
Because Mei and Gui Chongyang both took a lighter pace, Mei Duo couldn't help but hold her breath and concentrate.
When she saw her aunt and nephew walking to the door of the study, Mei Duo understood and changed her face in vain. She looked at the quiet southern room next door, and then at the study room where there were occasional slight sounds, her body was trembling with anger. Mei Xiaoba, if she was not in her room, why did she run to the study room for her?
Mei and Gui Chongyang stood at the door without moving, but Mei Duo couldn't help it and immediately stepped forward and pushed the door open, saying, "Mei Xiaoba, what are you doing?"
Mei Xiaoba was squatting on the ground with her back facing the door, touching the gap under the bookcase.
It was getting dark outside and the room was dark.
But Mei Xiaoba turned around and Mei Duo could still see clearly that his face was pale and he couldn't squat steadily. He sat on the ground with a little pitiful look.
Mei Duo felt hateful, and her chest was so angry that she was fluctuating. She pointed at Mei Xiaoba and said tremblingly: "You... you actually helped them come back and steal the prescription. Do you still have a conscience?"
At this moment, Mei and Gui Chongyang also entered the house and stood behind Mei Duo and looked at Mei Xiaoba.
Neither Mei nor Gui Chongyang spoke, but this silence scared Mei Xiaoba even more.
Mei Xiaoba couldn't help but cry out "Wow" and said while crying: "I didn't steal the prescription, I didn't steal the prescription!"
Mei Duo just thought he was quibbling and said angrily: "This has been blocked into the house, don't you admit it yet? Ha! Are you thinking we are fools?"
"I didn't steal the prescription, I didn't steal it!" Mei Xiaoba was so angry that she couldn't breathe.
Gui Chongyang stepped forward and said, "Stop crying, I believe you didn't steal the prescription!"
Mei Xiaoba twitched her nose and looked at Gui Chongyang pitifully, her eyes full of gratitude and trust.
Mei Duo frowned and said, "Just spoil him, it depends on whether the person appreciates it or not!"
Gui Chongyang did not refute Mei Duo's words, nor did he go to see Mei Xiaoba, but turned to Mei and said, "Aunt, Uncle Wu scolded me in the afternoon, saying that I should not hide what happened this morning. Otherwise, I would be regarded as weak and bullied, and I would have more trouble in the future. I originally thought to ask for my personal certificate slowly. Now that Xiaoba is back, I can barely count it as if I am. Let's go to the old Meicun."
Mei nodded, looked at Mei Xiaoba and said, "Okay."
People in the world are accustomed to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Gui Chongyang, the head of the Gui family, is only twelve years old and is still several years away from Cheng Ding. If he really appears weak, there will be the next one. Then there will be troubles. He can't always be in the back of the horse and passively fight back.
Especially now, Gui Chongyang has become a big landlord, with hundreds of acres of land, and many people are thinking about taking a bite. The reason why no one has come forward is that although Gui Wu moved to the county, his remaining power is still there; now there is even a faint rumor, saying that Gui Chongyang has a big backer and a noble person that Du Lizheng can't afford to offend.
The noble man was far away, but Gui Wu stood in the town.
Gui Wu had dared to directly confront the Meili family before. Even Du Lizheng, who had been in power for more than ten years, had to worry about it. It was only after dealing with the Li family that he could comfort Gui Wu.
But "Xigui" is separated. If he can fool Gui Chongyang, even Gui Wu, a cousin who is separated from the house, would not be able to interfere in the affairs of the eldest son's house.
Gui Chongyang always stands up on its own.
Mei Duo listened to the conversation between his aunt and Gui Chongyang, and was filled with mist. He noticed something was wrong, but Mei Xiaoba was still in a daze.
Mei asked Mei Duo to guard the house, picked up the lantern, took Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba and left the house.
Mei Xiaoba had red eyes and peeked at Gui Chongyang along the way.
Gui Chongyang's face was tense, without a trace of smile. Maybe Mei Xiaoba was fooled or asked the old man to speak there, but no matter what, choice is choice.
Gui Chongyang returned to Mujia Village for more than four months, and spent much time with Mei Xiaoba far more than Guichun and Gui Qiu's cousin. If there is no love, it would be a lie. But the more he feels, the sadder he feels.
Mei Xiaoba wanted to speak but stopped, her face full of entanglement.
Gui Chongyang saw it, but did not say anything. It was not that he was punished without teaching, but that there was no need to say some things twice, but that he said it in front of Mei An.
Mei An is one of the four village elders. He is famous for his fairness and wiseness. He has a lot of prestige among the Mei clan. He is also Mei Xiaoba's biological uncle.
The only one who can restrain Uncle Mei Xiaoba is Mei An.
Mujia Village is not there, and it is only one or two hundred feet away from the west to the east of the village.
Less than a quarter of an hour, the three of them walked to Mei'an's doorstep.
Before I could hold the door, I heard the dog barking.
Mei'an's house is a three-man courtyard with one main and two wings, and lights are lit in the upper room and the wings.
Hearing the barking of dogs, someone came out of the wing room and asked, "Who is that?"
"Brother Liu, it's me, Shunniang." Mei said.
With a creak, the door opened. Mei An’s eldest son Mei Qingliu brought some concern and said, “Why are you here at this time? But what’s going on at home?”
It’s not that Mei Qingliu Xu was just polite, but that although Mei Qingshu was a farmer, she was in love with Grandpa Mei Er when she was a child, and she was very concerned about Mei’s cousin.
The reason why Mei family was able to leave home safely back then was that she lived a quiet life in the Gui family for more than ten years because Mei Qingliu begged her father to scold Mei Tongsheng.
"It's something. I brought Chongyang to visit Uncle An and talk to my elder brother." Mei Shi said.
Mei Qingliu glanced at Gui Chongyang. Although Gui Chongyang was young, it is now the second only landlord in the village after the Lin family. He could not be treated as an ordinary child, so he stopped talking and took everyone into the room.
Mei An’s family had just had supper, and her daughter-in-law was taking care of her granddaughter-in-law, and her granddaughter removed the table.
Because it was winter free time, there were many people in the village who came out to visit and chat, but there were not those who came to visit this time. Gui Chongyang was there, and even Mei An brought a little serious.
The news that Du Lizheng was forced to his house before selling the land was rumored. Those who understand the village knew that Gui Chongyang had another backer, which made Du Lizheng bow down to sell the land.
Compared with the foreigner Du Lizheng, Mei An naturally hopes that the Gui family can rise, but people have selfish thoughts. Seeing that the Gui family is more decent than the Mei family, the old man feels uncomfortable.
Mei took Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba to meet the elders, but she was not in a hurry to speak.
Mei Qingliu's wife's surname is Yang. She is a clan sister of Gui Erniang Yang. She is a slightly rich middle-aged woman. She smiled and brought it to sugar water, and a plate of small mohua.
Mei stood up to thank him, and Yang looked at Gui Chongyang several times.
Yang's eldest grandson was only three or four years old. He held a small moxa flower in his hand and followed Yang with a little curiosity.
Because Mei said something was wrong before, but she didn't say it now, obviously she was talking in private. Mei Qingliu waved her hand to her wife and said, "The child is making trouble, take the eldest brother down."
Yang was not angry either and had to involve his eldest grandson.
Only Mei An and his son and three visitors were left in the room. Gui Chongyang got up and took out an iron wrench from his sleeve. Before he could speak, Mei took the wrench.
"Uncle, my family got into the thief this morning. Later, the waiter next door of the Li family was found out and retreated. The window in the study was pried open halfway, and this was the window falling!" Mei Shi said first when she was afraid that Gui Chongyang would speak.
After all, it is related to the Mei clan. The Mei clan does not want Gui Chongyang to make an appearance and offend others.
Mei An frowned, and Mei Qingliu's face was also very ugly.
The Gui family did not look for Du Lizheng, but came here. This "thief" was mostly unrelated to the Mei family.
Both father and son are proud of changing the Mei family's lintel. The father and the father have no fame, but the grandchildren are supporting them to study. The older one has passed the county examination this year and the government examination has been implemented, otherwise they will be a child.
First, Mei Xiucai was involved in gambling and selling land, and then Mei Tong continued to marry a young widow. The Mei family was told again and again by the villagers, and now they are "stealed" again?!
You should know that this "stealing" is different from being addicted to gambling and lust. If a family comes out of a thief, who would believe that the other people in the family are innocent? To put it more than that, it will affect the reputation of the clan.
Mei An looked at Mei with a sharp look: "Did the second boy of the Li family see a figure?"
Mei shook her head and said, "No!"
Mei An was relieved and a little annoyed.
As the saying goes, "Catch the evildoer and catch the thief and get dirty." Since I didn't see the thief, the Mei family suspected that it was because of the Mei family? After all, he was the daughter of the Mei family. Not only did he maintain the reputation of the Mei family outside, but he also had to pour sewage on the Mei family's head?
Before Mei An scolded her, Mei continued: "My niece was confused, but she never thought that today, Brother Qingshu called Xiaoba over on the grounds that Uncle Hirasan was in poor health..."
Mei Qingshu is the name of Mei Xiaoba Uncle.
Everyone looked at Mei Xiaoba. Mei Xiaoba looked at the iron wrench in Mei's hand, her face was pale and her body was trembling. Everyone could tell that something was wrong with him.
"Xiao Ba just carried us through the study to find something!" Mei Shi also turned around, looked at Mei Xiao Ba, and said softly: "It's just a coincidence that I got a prescription for black hair a few days ago. My niece adjusted some of them. Xiao Ba was thinking about her grandfather and grandmother, so she took a portion of black hair paste. I don't know who said that the prescription could be sold in the city, so she asked Xiao Ba to go home and secretly search for her. Xiao Ba refused to respond and was slapped. It was a coincidence that her niece had to be frightened!"
Mei Xiaoba was watched by everyone, and tears as big as beans rolled down from her eyes.
Mei An said angrily: "What are you crying? Did you really go over this? Did your uncle and aunt ask you, or did your grandpa know?"
Mei Xiaoba choked and said, "I don't know they would come to steal things. My uncle said that the fifth brother came to me during the day and lost things. He was afraid that my aunt and Brother Chongyang would think too much, so he asked me to find him and take it back."
Mei Xiaoba is ten years old this year and is indeed a child. These are also things that fool the child. But if Mei Xiaoba is really so righteous, she would not be so guilty. After all, he also understood that there was something wrong with this, just deceiving himself and not willing to think so badly about his uncle and cousin.
Mei An was furious and looked at the silent Gui Chongyang, feeling that his old face had fallen to the ground.
What is this? If this spreads, how do others think of the Mei family?
The Gui family Bai helped the Mei family raise children, but he raised a "little ungrateful wolf". The older ones were thinking about the prescriptions of the Gui family, while the younger ones were also confused.
