Chapter 73: The House and the Pine (1)

Mei Duo said it to Guichun?

The villagers felt both unexpected and expected. Many people just talked about it and thought that the Gui family was not kind. When Mei Duo had no dowry before, they did not mention engagement. Whenever there was a dowry here, they ordered it to their family members in less than half a month.

Those villagers who had been thinking about Mei Duo’s dowry before wanted to say it to their sons, nephews, and nephews, would have a sad heart and said a few bad things, saying that Mei Duo was not serious and had long had private words. However, because Gui Wu was in the Gui family, everyone was worried about it, and the sour words were to pay attention to it in private.

However, although Mei Duo was raised by his aunt, she was the daughter of the Mei family. She would get engaged without going through the Mei family? Many villagers were waiting for the Mei family's reaction, thinking that the Mei family's father and son would definitely go for a fight.

As a result, Mei Tong's father and son did get news, and went to Grandpa Gui Er's house that day. However, the Gui family did not make a noise, but went to the town with Mei Shunniang and Gui Wu.

When Mei Tongsheng mentioned the dowry to "give" his niece and granddaughter again, the total number of dowry fields mentioned to the public was not ten acres, but fifteen acres.

The Mei family's second house has only 40 acres of land, including ten acres of land. You should know that this is not a landing, but a fifteen acres of land. Even the Mei clan members couldn't help but come over to ask.

If you dislike the large amount of land, you can give it to your tribe members evenly. Now that the land price is higher every day, it is not easy to buy good land. Why do you have to take it to someone else as a dowry?

Mei Tongsheng's face was smelly and impatiently dealing with these tribe members, saying, "That five acres were the dowry of Gui, which was brought by Gui's family from the Gui family back then. Who wouldn't be given to Shunniang? I haven't heard of the dowry brought by any wife of any family. Instead, they should be given to the tribe members. It's a joke!"

The Mei family was scolded and remembered the incident and left in a bad mood.

However, no one said that Mei Tongsheng should not give the five acres alone, but counted them to ten acres. In this way, either the Mei nephew or the Mei nephew was cheaper. Anyway, seeing Mei Tongsheng's appearance, he did not take the clan relatives seriously at all and no one looked down on him. Even if he didn't give it to Mei nephew, everyone wouldn't be able to make any profit.

The reason why Mei Tongsheng's face was not only five acres of land when the transfer was reduced, but also the document signed at Mei's "request".

This time, it has never ended, right? First, I asked Mei Duo for marriage rights, and now I mentioned the adoption of Mei Qingzhu. Although the document was clearly written, the heir only inherited the incense of Mei Qingzhu, and the second house of Mei family was still owned by Mei Xiucai. The houses and land left by Mei Xiucai were all under Mei Xiucai, and they were not allowed to regret it, but Mei Tong was still unhappy.

It was his negligence as his uncle. He only remembered the incense of his younger brother and forgot that there was no incense behind his nephew. However, when choosing an heir, Mei reminded him that he was the uncle who was going to take his own initiative? What did the villagers think of him?

Although under Gui Wu's adjustment, both sides took a step back in the end, and the choice of the heir was decided by Mei's family, the relevant adoption matters were handled by Mei Tongsheng, but Mei Tongsheng still felt depressed.

*

Unlike the depressed atmosphere of the Mei family, the old house of Gui family is lively.

People have the intention of seeking profit and avoiding harm, and the villagers of Mujia Village are no exception. In addition to the six people who went up the mountain to log wood the day before yesterday and got 60 cents, today I heard that Gui's family had a house and there were more than a dozen villagers who came to help.

Some people are like the Zhang family, who think that Gui Wu, the "Fifth Master", is awesome and are willing to come over to hug them; some people have an old age with the Gui family in their early years and later broke off friendship and wanted to take the opportunity to repair it.

Gui Wu came here without any hesitation. Although Gui Chongyang was young, he could follow Gui Wu and entertain the villagers as the master's family.

Only the second grandmother Gui and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Yang were whispering, and they complained about the families who immediately broke up with the Gui family after the Gui family fell into trouble. However, they were just talking behind their backs, and they were still harmonious in front of them. Even in-laws like the Geng family and the Yang family cannot avoid the customs. How can they criticize the repetition of outsiders' attitudes towards the Gui family?

In the eyes of outsiders, it means that the Gui family does not hold grudges and is generous.

Those who were a little embarrassed before really regretted it and remembered the benefits of Guili being in office.

The world is cold and cold, but it is nothing more than that.

Among the villagers who came to the Gui family to help, there were also members of the Mei clan. This was from the Mei clan, among which was Mei Xiaoba's father Mei Qingmu.

As the name suggests, he is a little dull, but he is not lazy in his work and has a lot of energy.

Mei Xiaoba also came twice during the period. Mei Qingmu did not beat and scolded her son, but the father and son were obviously unfamiliar with each other.

It takes two days to demolish the house for more than 20 years.

In the summer, it’s not good to sweat and work hard, but it can’t stand the guinea-friendly food. Every day, there is a chicken, a fat meat every night, a steamed bun with white flour and two noodles, and a mung bean soup with sugar added throughout the day. Everyone eats smooth food, so why are you embarrassed to be stingy?

They just wanted to come here to make up for the numbers and eat and drink freely. They were embarrassed to live a life of hard work and sold their strength seriously.

When the old house was demolished, the blue bricks that Gui Wu had ordered in advance also arrived. Two trucks of pine wood were brought in a day. The car that came took away the pile of poplar wood that the Li family compensated.

Only then did the villagers realize that the Gui family’s old house did not use poplar wood, but all of them needed pine wood.

This house will be more decent than the one occupied by the Li family. There are more than 80 families in the village, and only Du Lizheng's house uses pine wood.

It costs a lot of money to build this house.

This time, not only the villagers were surprised, but also the Gui family members were shocked.

I got up in the old house and had two meals a day. My second grandmother Gui took Yang and Mei to take care of her, and she had endured a lot of hard work.

If the people in the city are widowed, they are naturally honest and honest, but they don’t have to live like that in the village. There is no other taboo except for the wedding banquet.

Seeing two carts of pine wood, the second grandma Gui was speechless and said nothing. Yang was "heat stroke" in a short while and said she was a little confused, so she went back to the second room first.

Mei personally sent Yang back, and then went to get eight taels of silver to pack it. After returning to the old house, he called Gui Wu to a secluded place and handed the silver to Gui Wu.

Gui Wu refused to accept it and said, "It's just two carts of wood. What's so heretical about my cousin? My cousin is the aunt of Chongyang, and I'm not the uncle of Chongyang?"

Even though he was not only in terms of blood and kinship, the notes that Chongyang had compiled for him were more than two carts of pine wood.

Mei Shi refused to ask for it no matter what: "If I don't accept the fifth brother, I won't dare to use the pine wood. I will also live in this house in the future. I have uncle built a house for my nephew, but not for my cousin? I won't have it for the time being. If I don't accept it, I will pass the house directly to you, and I won't dare to live in it."

The price of pine wood is not comparable to poplar wood, and it is less than doubled. In this way, two carts of pine wood can make you have twenty taels of silver.

The thirty-six poplar trees I took away before was not as good as those in the Gui family’s forest, but after all, I had enough years and each tree could be sold for 150 and 60 cents. Thirty-six trees were about five jin, but it was only 4 taels or 50 cents of silver. Even if Mei took out these eight taels, it should be a few taels away from the pine wood money, so Mei said so.

It’s not that Mei’s stubbornness, but that she can’t just ask for it.

Gui Wu took good care of his cousin, and he was grateful for this favor, but he had to consider Gui Wu.

Mei had already seen that Jiang's fifth brother and sister are a beauty. Even if you live on weekdays, you have to drink two tonics every now and then. This is a bottomless pit, and I don't know how much it needs to be filled in.

Now that Guiwu and his wife live in their hometown, they always have to return to the town, and then they will have to buy a house and buy property.

Gui Wu is not the only one nephew in Gui Chongyang, but also two legitimate nephews on it. If Gui Chongyang builds a house and Gui Wu has a big head, then will it be Guichun and Gui Qiu's side, will Gui Wu, the uncle who is the relative of Gui Wu?

However, if you calculate every penny and every penny too clearly, it will be too hurtful, so Mei's plan to give Datou a trick.

Gui Wu had no choice but to collect the eight taels of silver, and turned around and gave it to Gui Chongyang in private, saying, "My cousin is thinking too much, you can take it first, and then give it to her for the household use."
