Chapter 192 Tripartite Talks
Mei An and Mei Ping stopped outside the gate and asked Du Lizheng and his son to go first.
Du Lizheng did not rush to leave. He looked at Mei An and said earnestly: "Brother Mei, since Gui Wu is back, you two families will sit together and talk. Whether it is a field or a silver, don't be reluctant to let go of anything the Gui family wants. If it really doesn't work, just tell me, you can't let your Qingshu really ask for punishment. He is a young man, which affects the reputation of the family and delays the future of the younger generation? Besides, 'The family's negligence should not be made public'. This is not just the business of you two families. If a thief comes out of the village, no one is glorious. Brother Mei, do you think this is the reason?"
Mei Ping was so embarrassed that he couldn't raise his face when he just listened.
Mei An also blushed, but not embarrassed, but annoyed.
Who is this Du Zhong a fool?
In this way, the complaints of the Gui family were described as extortion and were committed to their bad intentions. If the Mei family took it seriously and fought with the Gui family, the two families would become deadly enemies.
Mei An knew it, but it didn't show any signs on her face. She coughed lightly and said, "Let Li Zheng worry about it. When using the money, you must not be troubled by Li Zheng."
Du Lizheng nodded and signaled Du Qi to step forward and knock on the door.
Du Qi stepped forward and buckled the door. For a while, someone came out to open the door.
"Du Lizheng...Mr. Mei..." It was Gui Qiu who came out to open the door. Seeing everyone outside the door, he couldn't help but be surprised.
It’s better for the two old men of the Mei family to show up. What’s Du Lizheng doing? Is it too much to mediate the dispute between the two families as Lizheng?

The second-bedroom house is in addition to the second-bedroom house family, Gui Chongyang and Mei family are also there.
Gui Wu talked about the opening of the county government office on the 10th day of the lunar calendar and paid attention to Mei's reaction. Seeing that Mei had no intention of dissuasion, he eliminated his previous dissatisfaction.
Everyone in the room also heard the movement outside the gate. At this time, it was time for the master to go out to greet him.
A man came to visit, and the second grandmother Gui took Yang and Mei out. The second grandfather Gui looked at Gui Wu sitting on the lower chair.
Gui Wu sat on the chair and stood still. Grandpa Gui Er sighed in his heart, but he was not moved.
Gui Chun sat down Gui Wu's head, his face was not good-looking.
Even if Gui Chongyang's injury was not serious and he had just rubbed his palm, the Mei family took action. It is said that "being a thief is guilty." The Mei family is not only not guilty, but is it bullying the Gui family as rampant?
When Du Lizheng and his fours came in, they saw that no one from the Gui family came out to welcome him and three generations of men gathered together.
Grandpa Gui Er did not come out to greet him before, but now he is not able to continue sitting high. He stood up and said, "Du Lizheng is here, Brother Mei, Brother Mei three... sit..."
Grandpa Gui Er stood up, and uncle and nephew Gui Wu had no reason to sit anymore, so they all stood up.
Grandpa Gui Er was dull and said nothing after saying these words.
Gui Wu and his three uncles looked at everyone and looked at them, but they had no intention of entertaining guests. It was Gui Chun, who had always been a good-tempered person, was injured because he did not protect his cousin and was also feeling guilty and angry.
However, Gui Qiu has always been active, moving chairs and stools, breaking the silence in the house.
The guest and host sat down. Gui Qiu, as a junior, sat with Gui Chongyang and started working on Gui Wu.
Du Qi stood behind his father and secretly looked at Gui Chongyang.
However, after not seeing each other for two days, Du Qi felt that Gui Chongyang was different.
It seemed as if the pure and harmless Gui Chongyang had appeared in a dream before. Gui Chongyang in front of him had a little more indescribable things, and it seemed that it was very difficult to mess with.
It would be good if he was not injured. Du Qi lowered his head and despised himself for being incompetent.
Since his family sold land, Du Qi took his anger and stopped talking to Gui Chongyang. Gui Chongyang has never spoken to Du Qi. The two met in the village school every day, and they regarded it as not seeing each other.
It was late at night, and Du Qi would regret his previous impulsiveness and willfulness, but no matter whether he put aside his parents' likes and dislikes, he would let his heart be a true good friend with Gui Chongyang; or according to his father's plan, he would be a good friend with Gui Chongyang and a false one, which was not what Du Qi was willing to do.
Friends are friends, but those who can deceive are not friends.
Du Qi's eyes serpent. Gui Chongyang is not a wooden punzi, so how can you not feel it?
When Gui Chongyang turned around, Du Qi quickly moved his eyes away like a frightened rabbit.
Du Qi lost weight.
Although the two teenagers met in the village school day and night, Gui Chongyang did not care about it because they ignored each other before.
Now that I have looked at it for a few more times, Gui Chongyang discovered that Du had lost weight.
Before, Du Qipang became a ball, more than four feet tall and almost four feet wide. Now he is a little bit shining, and the outline on his face is much clearer than before.
Gui Chongyang felt a little strange again.
Everyone did not pay attention to the little movements of the two teenagers.
Du Lizheng and the Mei brothers were watching Gui Wu, and Gui Wu sat on the first seat of Grandpa Gui Er, and took a look.
The Gui family made such a big statement and did not take it seriously at all.
Du Lizheng was secretly annoyed, but he didn't show it. He just said earnestly: "Second Brother Gui, Gui Xun, Brother Mei, and Brother Mei, now you both are here, so you can say anything if you have anything to say. They are all living in the same village, and they have been in-laws for several lifetimes. What can't be said in private? If you make trouble in court, who knows what will happen in the end?"
Speaking of this, Du Li turned his head and looked at Gui Wu and said, "Gui Xun, I know that your uncle and nephew know the new county magistrate, but that is the official family, and the favor is not so good. You are studying now, and there are many places to support and use favors in the future. Why waste favors like this? If Xiao Chongyang is seriously injured or the family really loses something, no matter how you make trouble, I will not stop you. But even though the plum tree and Feng couple have bad intentions, hasn't it caused bad consequences? Or is it the best to punish the big commandments. Do you think this is the reason?
Mei An and Mei Ping both looked at Gui Wu, and Mei Ping showed fear and prayer.
Gui Wu did not look at the Mei An brothers, but looked directly at Du Lizheng and said, "If Feng did not send Mei Wu to steal prescriptions, but sent his mother's brother or nephew to Gui's family, even if he had been involved in the incident, he would not steal anything, but if the matter spread, would my cousin and Duo Meitu still survive?"
Because the previous dynasty was ruled by the Mongols and did not pay attention to ethics, folk rituals and music collapsed. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they used ethics to educate the people more and more, and the people valued women's reputation and chastity more and more.
Women like Li Qian's who are so arrogant and have no shame in their name, but are proud of themselves. Who can stand the slander of the world?
Du Li frowned and said, "You can't say that, it's a speculation!"
Mei An sighed. Gui Wu clearly knew the details, but he did not involve Mei Wu, just leaving a little room. The rest was to see if the Mei family's explanation could satisfy the Gui family.
It would be fine if the Gui family was satisfied, but there was no danger; if the Gui family was not satisfied, it would be a matter of time before Mei Wu could enter.
Mei Ping was frightened and even took back his begging eyes.
The son is important, and the eldest grandson is even more important. I have also gone in the previous reluctance. In order to save the eldest grandson, let alone ten acres of medium-sized land, I will have to spend a few more acres.
Gui Wu pointed to Gui Chongyang and continued: "The third son of the boy, the two sons died in Dingnan, and one son was in a desperate foreign land. The three cousins only had this little blood. Mei Wu sneaked in with a weapon, but was lucky to be discovered by the Li family and retreated. If he had a face with Chongyang, the life of the boy's nephew would be lost! Du Lizheng, do you think the boy is worried? Dragon gives birth to dragon, phoenix gives birth to phoenix, Mei Qingshu was exposed for theft, and he could still hurt people in full view of everyone. There was no one in the Gui family's old house at that time, who can guarantee that Mei Wu had no evil intentions?"
Before Du Lizheng could speak, Mei Ping couldn't help but say, "Xiao Wu doesn't dare, he doesn't dare! He just listened to his mother's instigation. He wanted to steal things, but he really didn't have the courage to hurt people! Brother Xun, our two families are in-laws for several lifetimes. Your Brother Qingshu will teach you a lesson this time, and you will never dare to do it again. Just give up your hands and spare them this time, right?"
The name of "thief" is hard to remember, but it is better than "slaughtering money and killing people".
Mei Ping had thought before that no matter what, she would not let her children and grandchildren betray the reputation of the thief. Her two grandchildren are still young and her reputation is bad. Who dares to marry her daughter?
Looking at Gui Wu's posture now, he really hated the Mei family. Now he just needs to take the suspicion of "slaughtering money". Mei Ping no longer dares to ask for too much.
Gui Wu said seriously, "Uncle Mei San, why don't you spare me? If the Gui family's big things are turned into small things this time, then in the future, others will be thinking about Gui's parents' house's property. Can you enter the house by following the example? If you can ask for it, just talk directly, and if you can't ask for it, just steal it or rob it? If you really have a bad intention, it will directly harm Chongyang, and you will have no place to cry when you cry!"
Mei Ping wanted to cry but she didn't cry, but she was stupid and didn't know how to ask for it again.
Mei An's face turned black, and Gui Wu's meaning was clear. This was to "kill the chicken and scare the monkey" and save others from beating Gui's parents' room.
The Mei family is that "chicken", but who is the one who is so weird?
Du Lizheng was already like Maitreya Buddha, but he was snorting in his heart, but he was also alert.
What Gui Wu said to Mei Ping or to himself? I am afraid that in Gui Wu's heart, he deliberately used the Mei family to make a raft and deliberately showed it to himself.
The Gui family is hard to overcome, and the Gui family thinks it is the case. Du Li was squinting his eyes and finally realized this.
*
"It's because they did something wrong, but it's a lesson they deserve. But when something happened, there must be a constitution to solve it. Mei Qingshu shouldn't have hurt Xiao Chongyang. There are a total of twenty-five acres of land under his name, of which five acres of land and twenty acres of land, so he asked him to take out fifteen acres of land as compensation! With a few acres of land left, the six people in the family must make a living." Mei An decided.
Mei Ping drooped his head and felt it hurt, but he also understood that his brother would not cheat him. Gui Wu was obviously going to make things worse. This temporarily increased the compensation for ten acres of land to fifteen acres of land, which was the Mei family's explanation to the Gui family.
