Chapter 45 The next move

At the doorstep of Grandpa Gui Er’s house, the guests from the village dispersed one after another.

Those who can come here to have a drink today are those who still have contacts with "Xigui", so they are naturally inclined to the Gui family.

There was a life inside, but no one advised Mei's aunt and nephew to endure it anymore.

Did Mei Tongsheng really "sincere money"?

Everyone didn't say anything, but there was no doubt about the doubt in their eyes.

Mrs. Jiang had only thought that the Gui family would be poor before, but she didn't expect that such a thing would happen. Although Mei was from the Gui family's parents' house, the relatives of the family were the closest relatives at this time. If there was anything to do, it would have to fall on Gui Wu's head.

Others could not hear Du Lizheng's previous maneuvers, but Mrs. Jiang listened to it very clearly at the door.

The village is the head of a village, who manages household registration and taxes. Such people are not good to the Gui family, so the Gui family will probably have a hard time in the future.

Seeing that Du Lizheng was still beside him, Mrs. Jiang said to Gui Wu: "If you really want to hand over a lawsuit, just tell your father-in-law first. He is more familiar with the yamen and knows the litigants in the city. It is better than you who are stupid and you will run into it."

Gui Wu nodded and said, "I will go to the town in two days to inquire about the delivery of the complaint."

The conversation between the mother-in-law and the son-in-law attracted many villagers who had not left.

It was like Du Lizheng didn't care, but his face was much more stern.

Whether Mei Tong was born "selling good for cheapness" or "slaughtering money", it would be a scandal; if the conviction is really convicted, the Mei family will become Xingyu family, and no matter how good Mei Sheng's academic qualifications are, his future will be limited.

Not to mention Mei Sheng, only the Mei family and the Du family are now in-laws. When they really convict the Mei family in the yamen, the Du family will inevitably be implicated.

With such a bad consequence, how could Du Lizheng allow the Gui family to really hand over the complaint?

The Gui family is so poor that they are so shameless that they want money. They use two orphans to blackmail the Mei family. They are barefoot and are not afraid of wearing shoes, so they dare to do this without caring about it. Du Lizheng was angry and cursed, but he did not show his face.

Gui Qiu and Zhou Dingxiang were going back to the town with Mrs. Jiang, standing next to her.

After hearing Mrs. Jiang's words, Zhou Dingxiang blinked and pulled Mei Duo's hand and said, "If Sister Mei goes to complain, she will go to my house first. There is a master in the torture room who is my fellow villager. She often eats wine with my father. Then let him help you."

Mei Duo's forehead was wrapped with a white cloth, her eyes swollen into rotten peaches, and she choked and said, "Good sister, thank you!"

Mei stood next to her niece, and her eyes looked at Zhou Dingxiang with gratitude.

Du Li was seeing it, knowing that this was the determination of the Gui family to complain to Mei's aunt and nephew, and became more and more irritable.

There were many people in front of me, so it was difficult to continue talking to the Mei family. The guests had almost parted, so Du Lizheng had to say goodbye first, but he did not go home, but took a detour to the Mei family.

Du Li did not see it, and there was a small tail behind him, watching him enter the Mei family yard before turning around and leaving.

Mei Duo in the Mei family's old house was lying in Mei's arms, crying loudly.

Gui Chun stood beside him, at a loss and asked Gui Chongyang in a low voice: "Chongyang, what should I do next?"

Gui Chongyang rolled his eyes, what can I do? As long as I am not a stone man, I will feel uncomfortable when I know my biological mother is floating outside. If I feel uncomfortable, it will naturally make me cry better, and holding it in my body will hurt my body.

"Or we'll go and sue, right?" Gui Chun hesitated and said, "Master Mei doesn't seem to be brave. He will definitely not be able to withstand the interrogation of the yamen. If he can tell his cousin's whereabouts, there will be a direction to find someone."

When Mei Duo heard this, she stopped crying and sat up, but did not look at Guichun, but looked at Gui Chongyang with a prayer on her face.

As Mei Tongsheng said, the accusations against Mei Tongsheng by Mei and Mei Duo were indeed "bewitched" by Gui family, who was Gui Chongyang.

After seeing Mei Tong's uninvited life, Gui Chongyang quietly explained to Mei's aunt and nephew. Whether it was for money or Mei Duo's marriage rights, today is a good opportunity.

Mei and Mei Duo's aunt and nephew obviously seized this opportunity and took the opportunity to attack, and put the suspicion of "slaughtering money" on Mei Tongsheng, achieving the expected results.

However, Mei Duo, as a child, really had the idea of ​​making decisions for her mother.

Gui Chongyang frowned and said, "Tomorrow, I will ask Uncle Wu to go to the town to find someone to write a certificate to scare the Mei family, but according to the previous plan, this certificate can be written but cannot be handed over."

Mei was beside him and sighed heavily.

Mei Duo closed her eyes and tears came out again.

"How can I find someone if I don't complain?" Gui Chun was a little anxious.

Gui Chongyang nodded and said, "The time is not right, it's hard to complain, but this person should be found."

Gui Chun was a little confused: "Mei Tongsheng didn't speak up about his cousin's whereabouts, how can he find him?"

If Qiu had been killed, there would naturally be no trace; if Qiu was still alive, there would always be traces.

Gui Chongyang said: "Auntie said that the person who helped the matchmaker at that time was an old friend of Mei Tongsheng's town, and his cousin walked in a sedan chair. In this way, there were several people who knew where the cousin went. After searching for those people, they could always ask a few questions and find clues."

Mei Duo nodded and said unwillingly: "Will you let it go there in vain?"

The one with the same bloodline may not be the relatives; Mei Duo did not grow up in the Mei family, and now he knows that the biological mother is "remarried", so he naturally treats the Mei family and son as enemies.

Gui Chongyang said seriously: "Even if you want to pursue it, it's not this time."

"When will we wait?" Mei Duo bit her lip and asked afterwards.

"When the fifth uncle passes the child test, or we may find the whereabouts of my cousin." Gui Chongyang said.

The Gui family is now a poor farmer, but the Mei family has produced two scholars, a scholarly family. The Gui family can now threaten the Mei family by suing lawsuits because the scholarly family must pay attention to reputation, but when the two families really go to court, the only thing left is the winner and loser of the lawsuit. If you don’t care about reputation, the Gui family will have nothing to threaten the Mei family.

In that case, the Gui family won little hope. First, the Gui family has no evidence, and second, the Mei family has Mei Sheng, who has outstanding academic qualifications, and as long as the county magistrate is not stupid, he will leave some room.

But if Uncle Gui Wu passed the mansion examination and gained fame and reputation, he would be considered a scholar and had the qualifications to speak in the court; if he found the whereabouts of Qiu, he would be able to defeat the Mei family even if he had a ready-made witness.

Mei Duo's head drooped, like a eggplant made from frost.

Seeing this, Mei touched her niece's head and comforted her: "If you are anxious, you can't eat hot tofu, things will be smooth."

Mei Duo nodded, but her heart was still heavy.

Gui Chun's uncle is the most outstanding, Tong Shi was able to get it by himself, and then comforted him: "The county test will be tomorrow February and the government test will be April. But there are still ten months left, so I just took advantage of this time to find out whereabouts of my cousin."

Mei Duo knew Guichun's kindness, so he nodded and said, "I know, I'm not in a hurry."

*

Outside the door, Gui Wu helped Jiang come. When he heard this, he smiled bitterly, but his eyes became more and more firm.

Jiang noticed the change in her husband's expression and whispered: "Go and visit Mr. Yuan as soon as possible."

Gui Wu nodded and said, "I will cook with the matter of Doo and the matter of repairing the house, so I will visit the teacher."

The county exam is a basic skill of rote memorization, and Gui Wu is not worried; but if you want to pass the palace exam, you need the guidance of the teacher; there is still powerlessness in the college exam.

*

In the Mei family's study, Du Li frowned and said, "My dear, can't you tell me the truth? Then where did Qiu let you 'marry'?"
