Chapter 38 The Bad Guest
The Gui family was discussing buying land and buying property, but the Mei family and his son were anxious.
Jiang Wu has been back for several days, and he went to the town again, and went to the village chief's house again, and he became Gui Wu from Jiang Wu. Why didn't he negotiate terms with the Remei family?
Gui Chongyang has no small baby with hair, so he dared to blackmail the Mei family without any scruples. It must be Gui Wu who is behind the scenes.
Mei Tong’s father and son are sure that this is the case, the more worried the Gui family is that “the lion speaks loudly”.
The young Guiwu was not an ordinary farmer, but a "Fifth Master" who could eat in the town in black and white. This big Buddha was really hard to underestimate the Gui family for a while.
"Dad, the Gui family is going to treat you." Mei Xiucai frowned after inquiring about the news from outside.
"Whether the New Year or the Festival is not there, what guests are invited?" Mei Tongsheng said disapprovingly.
"The second Gui Lao Er wants to make wine for Gui Wu and Jiang's family." Mei Xiucai said.
Mei Tongsheng twisted his beard and said, "Then Gui Wuzhen is going to go back to the village to settle down?"
The father and son looked at each other, and both breathed a sigh of relief.
"People go to high places, and water flows to low places." Could it be that Gui Wu couldn't get along in the town and wanted to go back to the village? In that case, it would be good news for the Mei family.
Mei Tongsheng's expression changed again and again, saying, "I asked someone to go to the town to inquire about what happened to the Jiang family? Why did Jiang Wu become Gui Wu? If Gui Wu really turned against the Jiang family, even if Gui Wu knew a few gangsters, he would be afraid."
Mei Xiucai nodded and said, "My son thinks so too. This second son of Gui is too unprofessional. Now his father manages a village school. Who is not a guest of honor for treating guests, but the Gui family is going to surpass his father."
Mei Tongsheng rolled his eyes: "Even if you are invited, do you have the nerve to go? Don't 'Gui Lao Er' in the future, 'Gui Lao Er' screaming. After all, it's your father-in-law in front of you, so you can tell someone to talk carefully."
Mei Xiucai was embarrassed: "Isn't this just muttering in front of my father?"
The father and son were talking, and they heard something happening in the yard.
"In-law, are you at home?" A familiar greeting came from the yard.
"Why is he here?" The Mei father and son looked at each other, and they were confused and greeted them.
It was not someone else who came, but Village Chief Du.
Village Chief Du was wearing a long silk gown, holding a folding fan in his hand, fanning hard, and sweating on his forehead.
"It's not yet June, and the sky is about to get fire." The fat man was afraid of heat. The Du family was only half a mile away from the Mei family, and Village Chief Du was sweating all over.
The Mei family is a courtyard, and there is movement in the courtyard. Du from the east wing also heard it and picked out the curtain. When he saw that his parents' father was coming, he also happily welcomed him.
"In-law, sit in the fast house. Ernie took out the iced watermelon in the well and cut it." Mei Tongsheng greeted the guests and ordered his daughter-in-law.
Du greeted Village Chief Du and went to catch watermelon.
Seeing that the Mei family and his son were still dressed in homely clothes, Village Chief Du blinked: "Didn't the Gui family serve wine? Why didn't the brother clean up?"
Mei Tongsheng touched his beard and said, "I'm not a member of the road, so it's better to stay away from him."
But he didn't say whether the Gui family didn't invite him or whether he himself didn't want to go to the Gui family.
Village Chief Du said: "The rules that have been agreed upon in the village over the years are that whenever there is a large seat, you and I will be guests. Even if there is a rift before, it will not be difficult to break the rules. If the Gui family invites you, let me go there. The villagers say that we are narrow-minded."
Mei Tongsheng didn't think that there was anything wrong with the second wife of the Gui family who was not invited to treat him. After all, the two families had deep grudges, and it was normal to not interact with each other when they died. But after hearing the words of Village Chief Du, I felt embarrassed. Yes, the village rules were conventional, and he had to invite him and the village chief when he formally held wine. But this time, the Gui family invited the village chief and did not invite him. Did he deliberately embarrass himself? To talk about the past grudges, there was also dissatisfaction between the Gui family and Village Chief Du, but why did they hire the village chief? In the final analysis, they underestimated themselves.
Village Chief Du pondered for a while and said, "What does this Gui family mean? Isn't it because I remember the revenge of my daughter being divorced?"
Aunt Gui was retired, and the culprit was the father and son of Mei. However, when the Du family then married their daughter, they could not tell that they were innocent.
"Ha? Holding a grudge? They still have the face to hold grudges? The Gui family killed my eldest son and my nephew, which made my second brother and sister-in-law suffer. They died of illness. They only divorced one of their daughters and did not ask them to pay their lives. It was really a cheap Gui family!" Mei Tong was very angry.
Village Chief Du frowned and said, "After all these years..."
"It's not enough to live for a long time. I'll kill someone to pay my life, and I'll pay it back. The Gui family owes us the old Mei family, and I won't be able to pay it back in my life!" Mei Tongsheng felt that it was the reason. He stood up "Teng" and said: "They didn't invite me, I insisted on going to see if it was their Gui family guilty, or should we Mei family retreat!"
That's right, that's the reason. The Gui family won't talk about the four families that were harmed by the Gui family back then. "If the son does not teach, the father's fault" was the one who suffered. One person died in the Li family, but the Li family used this to cheat a new house in the Gui family and arranged for the daughter of Rexiao to remarry. It cannot be said that it was a Qing Dynasty, but it is impossible to argue that it was a stubborn donkey. The Yang family was in charge of the head of the Yang family, and the sister and two nephews were not alienated from the Gui family, but they took care of one or two times when they could take care of it. The only one who could come out to attack the Gui family was the Mei family.
Village Chief Du looked embarrassed, and Mei Tongsheng had already walked out with great strides.
Village Chief Du's mouth moved, and his face showed helplessness and followed.
Mei Xiucai held her own identity and was also afraid of her ex-mother-in-law, Second Grandma Gui, so she did not join in the fun and shook her head to go to the study to enter the book. You should know that when Mei's aunt was divorced, Second Grandma Gui almost chopped off Mei Xiucai, the former son-in-law, with a kitchen knife. More than ten years have passed, and when she thinks of this scene, Mei Xiucai is still in fear.
Du followed in and frowned and said, "Dad is going to the Gui family? What are you doing to provoke their family?"
Mei Xiucai said impatiently: "Just eat some wine, what else can I do? Go out and don't delay my reading." After that, he turned around and turned his back to the door.
Every scholar has the dream of "a red sleeve adds fragrance". Mei Xiucai gave up Aunt Gui so happily, because Aunt Gui's appearance was ordinary and her temperament was as good as the second grandmother Gui's young, and she was like a charcoal blow. She was so choking that she couldn't speak and was not as gentle as a woman. This Du, gentle is soft, but in her face, she was actually a domineering person. She wished that everyone could hold her big and small in her family, and she would be long-winded in everything, which was really abominable.
Du was bored, so he snorted lightly, and threw the door curtain out.
*
At this moment, Mei Tongsheng and Village Chief Du had already reached the west end of the village.
As the Gui family approached, Mei Tong's anger that had developed before her was extinguished and hesitated again. What if the Gui family had other reliances? The Gui family is not a fool, so why would he dare to blackmail him if he talked about it?
Seeing Mei Tongsheng's eyes fluttering, Village Chief Du said with a smile: "The Gui family has Gui Wu, and the younger generation has three males. Although it is a little thin, it will take a few years to get back to life."
Mei Tongsheng heard this and felt more confident.
Yes, the Gui family currently has only three uncles and nephews, one is an expelled son-in-law and two are young boys. What should I be afraid of? Even if I really break up, will the people in the village look to the Gui family or the Mei family? With the in-law Du, the family, I am afraid that it is the head?
"Huh? That's the Gui family?"
