Chapter 43 Cowards and words are like swords
If the Gui family challenged him here, Mei Tong wouldn't be too angry. After all, he was "uninvited" today and wanted to make a fuss, so he deliberately brought up old things and blocked the Gui family's mouth, so that they could really plot against him.
Unexpectedly, the one who stood out in front of him was his always gentle niece. Mei Tong became brave and blew his nose and stared at him: "How do you talk? I know that your sister-in-law has a good relationship, but you can't tell me the difference between the distance and the distance!"
Even the old and young men sitting on the kang were not at ease when they saw Mei’s family. They were orderly in their old age and had different ranks of superiority and inferiority. Although Mei’s family had already married, the Mei family was still her parents’ family. He talked to his uncle like this and did not distinguish between the top and the bottom.
At this moment, Mei had calmed down, suppressed his resentment, and looked at Mei Tongsheng with tears in his eyes and said, "Twenty taels of silver are not a small amount. You can't say anything and just put them on my sister-in-law's head. There was a thief at home, and even the innocent man would be tired of taking care of her. If I remember it well, my sister-in-law's remarriage was arranged by my uncle himself. The one who came to the door to protect the media was also an old friend of the uncle's town, saying that she would marry her sister-in-law to Bazhou. Because of the hasty marriage, she did not even bring her dowry, so she was helped to a sedan chair in Bazhou. Bazhou was 100 miles away from Tongzhou. Now the fifth brother is back, and now she has time to take me and Duoer with her. Where is the family she married later? My uncle gave her a place name. I want to ask her if she is really so cruel. She left her flesh and blood to remarry, but she is also greedy for the daughter's raising money!"
Mei looked miserable, she wanted to cry or not, but returned to the appearance of a little white rabbit.
Mei's father was a village school teacher back then and had always been popular. There was also news about Qiu's forced marriage. Everyone's position was not firm this time, and they began to feel that Mei Tong had passed away.
"Since you have remarried, you are all from others, why are you looking for her?" Mei Tong was angry and furious: "You are also a widowed woman, so you should keep your door tight. Zhenjing is the only thing, how can you go out and show up? The good girl, you are so tired, no, I want to take her home, but the Mei family has no reason to keep her outside!"
It is said that Qiu's "walk" to Bazhou, but Mei Tongsheng fooled Mei's family and the villagers in the past. Now, where can I find someone to find someone for Mei's family? I have to bluff and change the topic.
Mei's heart sank, her eyes were complicated, and she looked straight at Mei Tongsheng: "Family and family can be cut everywhere. Duo'er is already fourteen. When she saw the marriage, going out to pay homage to her biological mother is also filial. A living person who wants to see people and dies will never marry and disappears completely. Uncle, do you think this is the reason?"
The countryside has lost its doors and has no descendants to inherit the family business. The family property is close to the brothers. There have been previous cases. Therefore, even if Mei Tongsheng looks ugly and invades the property of the Mei family's second house, Mei has never really resented him in recent years. But at the moment, Gui Chongyang pointed out that Qiu's fate might be more miserable than being "remarried", Mei felt hatred.
As a lesson from the past, Mei Tongsheng can treat Qiu like this, and Duoer like that. If he hadn't run fast back then, wouldn't he have fallen into a difficult place now?
The house was silent, and stealing chickens and dogs in the village was a big deal. In front of me, Mei even said "I want to see people when I die, but I want to see corpses when I die." What does this mean? Is it because I suspect that Mei Tong had harmed Qiu?
Mei Tongsheng felt that a mouthful of old blood was blocking his chest, unable to go up or down, and he couldn't speak for a moment.
In the eyes of the onlookers, this plum boy was so suspicious.
The villagers sitting next to Mei Tongsheng immediately moved back two steps, covering their faces, but the eyes of Mei Tongsheng were already on guard.
Grandpa Zhang never expected that there would be such a possibility. Thinking of his old friend and his wife, his family business was occupied and his flesh was separated, he couldn't help but feel a bit of a heroic spirit. He patted the edge of the kang and stood up and said, "My girl is right! A living person cannot say that he will lose his shadow if he remarries. He wants to see people and dies. He doesn't mean to marry into Bazhou? Which town or village? Since he is Mei Lao Er's acquaintance, you should not say something that he doesn't know the place!"
If I had to marry a widowed niece-in-law just for a few ounces of brides, although it was criticized by others, it would be a family matter of the Mei family. It would be fine if everyone talked about a few irrelevant words behind the scenes. If there was a "slaughter of money" in the village, then the Mei family would be far away. Mei Tong was still a village elder and a village school teacher. Who would have the confidence to let the child pass the child to study with him?
Grandpa Gui Er looked as if blue and glared at Mei Tongsheng: "Is Qiu really married?"
That is not someone else, but also the wife of the Gui family's nephew. If it is a marriage, it will not be the turn of Grandpa Gui Er to speak; if it is really killed, Grandpa Gui Er, as Qiu's in-laws uncle, is also qualified to ask.
Mei Tongsheng's eyes flashed, but his face showed anger: "What nonsense is that? This woman remarries and avoids the husband's family before. Even if you go there, they may not be happy to agree. What life and death are all slander, it's really outrageous!"
"Where is Bazhou?" Grandpa Gui Er asked.
Grandpa Zhang also said: "If you really marry into Bazhou, what can you say? Even if Qiu avoids it, you must find out what your husband's name is and where his household registration is. You must find out clearly to make people feel at ease!"
Mei Tong was embarrassed and pointed at Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Gui Er and said, "I understand. You just want to extort money and join forces to bully people. Even if the government decides a case, it is necessary to pay attention to evidence. I have harmed Qiu. What evidence do you have?"
When everyone said this, Mei Tongsheng still gritted his teeth and did not talk about Qiu's whereabouts. Everyone present saw that it was indeed wrong. Qiu's family must not be a normal marriage. What kind of situation would a young woman in her twenties have? People dare not think deeply about it.
Mei closed her eyes, and tears rolled down.
Mei Tongsheng felt that everyone was stunning and couldn't stand it. He bluffed and said, "I don't have time to mess with you, so I shouldn't come!" After that, he got up and got off the kang, and was about to walk out.
The curtain suddenly opened, Mei Duo came in with red eyes and knelt down at Mei Tongsheng.
Mei Tongsheng was startled and snorted coldly: "What are you doing? Don't forget that your surname is Mei or Gui, don't learn from your aunt who is bewitched, and there is no distinction between inside and outside!"
"Grandpa, please tell me where my mother is. Whether she remarries a fool, is disabled, or is sold as a slave, as long as there is a place, I want to find my mother. Please, tell me, please..." Mei Duo whimpered, begging and kowtowed.
When everyone realized that blood was already dripping from Mei Duo's forehead.
Mei is a married daughter, Gui Er's grandfather is a relative of the family, and Zhang family is an old friend of Mei's parents' house. These are all outsiders. You can ask about Qiu's affairs, but the name is not right and the words are not smooth. Mei Duo is different. She is the orphan of the second family of Mei's family, and Qiu's biological daughter, who is qualified and reason to ask about Qiu's whereabouts.
Mei Tongsheng didn't expect that things would go to this point. The Mei's aunt and nephew who lived a life of honesty and politeness began to rebel. He felt so anxious that his eyes turned black.
Only Mei Duo's sob was left in the room, sad and pitiful.
Seeing this, Village Chief Du hurriedly said, "Get up quickly, those who know you know you are filial and care about your biological mother; those who don't know you think you are ignorant and hold your elders hostage. They are all family members and cannot write two words "Plum". If you have any words, please tell me slowly. Don't make jokes outside!"
Gui Chongyang looked at the farce in front of him and kept paying attention to Mei Tongsheng's expression.
Although Mei Tongsheng was ashamed and guilty, he was not afraid. Qiu Shi should still be alive, but it was not easy to explain where he went. However, it was exactly the same as Gui Chongyang's previous guess, Qiu Shi was afraid that he would fall into the fire pit.
When Village Chief Du said what seemed fair but actually helped Mei Tongsheng, Gui Chongyang narrowed his eyes and paid attention to the reactions of the villagers.
Some of them were ignorant and nodded, thinking that Village Chief Du was right; some were frowning, obviously because they heard that Village Chief Du’s words were inappropriate.
When Mei Tongsheng heard the word "go home", he immediately became clear-headed. He felt like he was a life-saving straw. He reached out and asked Meido to pull: "Yes, don't make a fuss. If you have anything to say, let's go at home!"
Seeing this, Mei hurriedly pulled Mei Duo: "Uncle, what are you doing?"
Gui Chun kept paying attention to Mei Duo and saw this and wanted to step forward, but was grabbed by Gui Chongyang.
Gui Chun and Mei Duo’s marriage have not yet been decided. What is revealed in front of everyone now, and people will inevitably be told in the future.
"Don't cause trouble!" Gui Chongyang whispered.
Mei Duo has no one, so she is currently qualified to protect Mei Duo. The only one who speaks out on Mei Duo is Mei's legitimate aunt.
Mei Tongsheng thought of the four words "family family", and became more confident. He glared at Mei and said, "Duo Yatou is a member of the Mei family. You should not go back to the Mei family. You are a member of the two surnames, so don't participate in the Mei family affairs!"
Mei gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle, don't forget that Duoer has his own household registration and has not been settled in Uncle's house. Everyone has surnamed Mei, but they are already separated. Uncle has no kindness to Duoer and has no kindness to him. He is planning to 'marry' Duoer in a confused manner. From now on, he is missing, and he will not see anyone in his life or die?"
Mei Tongsheng said impatiently: "Where are you in the same household registration, Mei Duo is all the girls of the Mei family, I can take her away. Don't mess around, get out of here!"
"Human life is greater than the sky. Uncle said that it did not harm others, so let's take out evidence, otherwise my niece would have to hand over the complaints to the yamen for Duoer!" Mei said softly.
Mei Tongsheng felt the hair was standing tall, put down Mei Duo, and pointed at Mei Shi and said heartbroken: "You stinky girl, you are obsessed with ghosts. Do you have to provoke your family's uneasiness? You are also a girl from the Mei family. What are the benefits of slandering me like this? Do you think the Gui family encourages you to blackmail me a piece of money? Sheng Ge'er is the 'Wenquxing' and will make a fortune in the future. Your aunt is so cruel to destroy the reputation of the Mei family and cut off his future?"
"Murder and repay your life, and repay your debts. Isn't this what you said just now?" Mei pulled Mei Duo and said calmly: "Since the uncle refused to tell his sister-in-law about his whereabouts, we can only use the yamen to find someone. If the uncle is wronged and his niece is willing to sacrifice his life to apologize to the uncle, he will definitely not let his uncle be wronged!"
Mei Tongsheng felt that his mind was lost, but he forced himself to hold on and snorted coldly: "Don't open the yamen, shut up the yamen! Is your family's opening the yamen? After all, I still want money. I'm really obsessed with it and I don't have time to pay attention to you!" After that, he shook his sleeves and left.
Everyone was frightened and looked at each other in shock.
Village Chief Du sighed, "Where is this? Mei, you can calm down, don't keep the yamen prosecutors or something on your mouth, and say something well. Even if you want to ask for the dowry and money for your niece, you don't have to do this. If it really doesn't work, I will be a middle-aged man and talk to your uncle. He is a little greedy and stingy, but if you say he can kill someone, it will be... "
But in one sentence, Mei Duo's loneliness and pitiful resistance were regarded as a means of the aunt and nephew who planned Mei Tong to give birth to money. This was "words were like a knife". He still had a Maitreya face, and his face was full of kindness and kindness to say this.
