As for the fact that Lao Mei's family didn't give it to Mei Dahu if they had money, Mei Berry and the others didn't know about it at first.
After all, Mei Dahu didn’t say anything either.
But after her uncle failed to borrow money from their family and left, her father and third uncle analyzed it together.
First of all, it's attitude.
If they don't want their eldest son to participate in the corvee, Lao Mei's family will have to find a way even if they don't have money.
Even if no solution was found in the end, at least Mei Dahu's name would have to be reported later, instead of reporting Mei Dahu's name when there were still a few days to prepare.
Even Mei Dahu can think of borrowing money everywhere, so if he really doesn't want Mei Dahu to participate in the corvee, why does the matter of borrowing money require Mei Dahu to appear?
I'm afraid if it weren't for Mrs. Zhang, she might be able to boss around and rely on her old man to come to Mei Dahu to ask for money.
And now that Mei Dahu has come out to borrow it himself, it can be seen that the situation at Lao Mei's house is not that simple.
It is even possible that Mei Dahu had conflicts over this, leading him to borrow money himself.
Judging from the past situation, Meiyang's autumn repairs are about to be handed in, and it is impossible for Lao Mei's family to be unprepared.
Therefore, the most likely conflict is that Lao Mei's family has money, but they don't want to spend it for Mei Dahu.
Therefore, Meiberry dared to say this.
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Zhang, who came to take a peek at the excitement, instantly broke her guard.
She stood directly at the end of the crowd and cursed at Mei Berry: "You damn girl, what are you talking about?!"
"ah!?"
Mei Bei was dumbfounded. When she turned around from her mother's arms, she saw Mrs. Zhang standing at the back of the crowd with an angry look on her face.
She never expected that her grandma Zhang would hear these words!
Although Mei Mei was panicked at the time, she pointed her hand towards Granny Ge very honestly and opened her mouth: "Miscellaneous, I'm not talking nonsense, Granny Ge said it all. I just followed her words!"
Mrs. Gerard: "What?"
Before Granny Ge understood what was going on, she heard Mei You also add: "Yes, Nai, don't accuse my sister wrongly. Granny Ge said it, uncle has no money, all the money is with you."
Listening to what Mei You said, Mrs. Zhang looked at the people around her again, and some people nodded secretly, which was regarded as acquiescence that what Mei You said was true.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang didn't understand anything. She immediately turned around and shouted at Mrs. Ge with concentrated anger: "Ge Shufen! What grudges do I have with you? What grudges do I have with you? You want to ruin my reputation like this outside!"
"Where is the hatred or resentment? Isn't what I said the truth?"
Although Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she jumped on the spot and looked like she was going to rush forward to fight with her immediately, but Mrs. Ge also understood that she had already said what she said, so she might as well fight to the end!
"Obviously you are biased. You have money for your younger son to study, but you have no money for your older son to do corvee work. Don't you just dream that one day your younger son will win the exam and become an official lady? You are the one Snobbish!”
"Bah! You damn old woman, stop talking nonsense!"
"Am I talking nonsense? It's because you are partial, otherwise the second child and the third child would be separated now. Who wouldn't know in this village?
Before the family was separated, you worked hard to exploit the two brothers. After the family was separated, you still wanted to get benefits from them. When you failed to get the benefits, you said all kinds of bad things about them!
If everyone doesn't speak, you just treat people as fools! People have to believe whatever you say, ah? ! "
After saying that, Mrs. Ge glanced around and asked the people around her: "Am I right?! Could it be that some of you are really stupid and believed her words?"
Mrs. Ge opened her mouth to spit. She was clearly talking about the bad things about Mei Bei and Mei You's family before, but now she turned around and everything became her fault again.
Mayberry almost died laughing.
[Congratulations to the host, the check-in scene "clears the reputation (70%)", and a total reward of 50 kilograms of dried noodles and 20 kilograms of rice noodles. All rewards have been distributed to the system space, please check the host in time. 】
Mayberry: Huh? ?
She was watching two old ladies having a verbal spat. Has this mission been completed so far? !
It turns out that everyone in Lao Mei's family could only talk a few words in private, at least they wouldn't bring it up casually in front of the person involved, but Mrs. Ge didn't want to do that.
She was going to tell all the embarrassing things about Lao Mei's family in front of so many people in Cun Ming!
At this time, Mrs. Zhang's blood was so full that she didn't care about anything else. She also started scolding: "Ge Shufen, what kind of good thing do you think you are?
How old is your youngest son this year? She is nineteen years old, and her daughter-in-law has only been in the family for two years, and she still has a seed!
Good guy, the corvee is so hard and tiring. You let your younger son go there for two consecutive years, but you can't bear to let your older son go!
You are the biased and poisonous woman! I also knew that it would be my son’s place! "
Oops~ It’s just that the changed sons do not include Mei Dahu and Mei Yang.
Meiberry listened and complained silently in her heart.
"Ah, what? Do you admit that hard labor is hard? It was difficult for me to give birth to the eldest son. The eldest son has always been in poor health. Otherwise, how could I be willing to let the youngest go?
Let me tell you, as long as my family has money, my family will not go! Unlike you, you leave all your money to the fourth child and don’t care about the lives of the other sons! "
Mrs. Zhang, who was sprayed by Mrs. Ge, blushed, but she became more and more fierce when she saw this. There was a lot of quarrel between the two ladies.
Get rid of all the dirty ideas and gossip of someone else.
Seeing this, Mei Berry quietly moved to Mei You's side and asked in a low voice: "Sister, did you call for my milk?"
"No, I'm not interested in causing trouble for myself."
Mei You denies it flatly. How much more time should she have to wait for her to come to visit her?
"Oh, so my breasts are quite...what a coincidence?"
Mrs. Ge and her grandma seemed to be in charge. There was no need for Mayberry's family to say anything at the moment, and Meiyou didn't need to pay much attention. The two families silently watched the two old ladies in the center of the crowd fight each other.
Meiberry couldn't help but think that the main force checking in this time would be neither his own family nor the heroine's family, but her breasts, right?
Just like how to clear up your reputation, who would have known that it was Mrs. Gerard who did the most?
This is suddenly 70%!
"I can't help it. I only have so little money at home, and the palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh. If their two families hadn't split up this year, and so much money was taken away from the family at once, how could I be in such a difficult situation now?!"
One moment, Mei Berry thought it was dog biting dog, but the next moment, she was able to blame the two of them.
"Hey~ Mom, what you said is that there is no difference in money when we separate families. Why don't you just point out a hole and let us two lie down directly in it? You can bury it~"
Seeing that Zhang suddenly turned around and wanted to pick up soft persimmons, Mei You asked her to find out whether she was pinching soft persimmons.
"If we don't separate our families, I am afraid that the corvee will fall on my father or my second uncle again this year. How happy will you be then? You will have money and your uncle will not have to suffer, right?"
These words simply spoke to Zhang's heart.
On the one hand, she felt that there was nothing wrong with her idea, but she also heard the sarcasm in Mei You's words.
There seemed to be many people around who heard this with disdain on their faces.
This denial of what she thought was a very correct view made Ms. Zhang very angry. She shouted loudly as if she wanted to prove that she was right:
"So what?!
Your father and the others were fine in the past two years. What's wrong with participating again? ! After saving so much money, what's the problem with supporting the fourth child to study?
When the fourth child becomes prosperous, all of you brothers will benefit from it!
You two are not good at it. You just want to gain glory and are not willing to put in any effort. It is selfish! "
After hearing this, everyone present with normal views frowned.
But Mei Bei still saw it, and a few secretly nodded in support of Zhang's statement!
Ma Dan, a quarrel witnessed the diversity of species.
"Nai, after all, you and your uncle are one family now, and you are the one who is unwilling to pay for your elder brother's labor service.
If your own family doesn't agree with something, who are we outsiders who have separated from each other? "
Mei Youcai ignored Zhang's hysteria and focused on one thing. She was not willing to pay for it. Who should blame her now that she was exposed and lost face?
"Yes, our family didn't spend more than one tael to build this house from beginning to end. After paying off the corvee, we only had one tael in hand, so it was useless to lend it to my eldest brother."
This time, Miao made an accurate calculation of the cost of building a house.
"That is to say, our family only has a few dozen dollars left for food, which is not even enough for our three younger siblings~"
Wei Meili's tone was slow and leisurely, which was completely different from Zhang's words, which seemed to be on fire and babbled about a hundred words a minute.
"If we borrow it all, can you make up for the rest, milk, for uncle?"
Meiyou asked immediately.
Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth and hesitated for a moment.
Now, when Wei Meili saw this, she simply gave her mother-in-law another killing blow:
"If I were a mother, I would first pay the corvee for my eldest brother, and then let him go out and continue working to make money.
The corvee fee is five cents a day, and the eldest brother's work must be more than five cents a day.
Then it will be another two months until the autumn harvest, which will be another income, and it will be enough for Shu You, the fourth uncle, to chip in.
Even if it's not enough, it's not impossible that we won't be able to borrow it when the time comes.
After all, after two months, it was time for our two families to find work, and the autumn harvest was done. We were richer now than when we had just returned from the corvee period.
Wasn't it easier to borrow money back then than it is now? "
"What's the use of saying this now?! Hindsight!"
Mrs. Zhang was so angry that her lips trembled.
Listen carefully, Wei Meili's words do make sense, but doesn't this make her previous reason for not paying for the boss even more untenable?
This clearly means that she is stupid and biased!
"Miscellaneous, my mother is not an afterthought. If we hadn't found out today that you are rich, my mother would never have thought of it."
Meiberry's words made the face of the other person present change again.
That's right, it was Mrs. Ge who felt that she could become invisible and laugh at Mrs. Zhang when she saw her being angry.
As soon as Meiberry finished speaking, she suddenly received the attention of everyone present.
Granny Ge:? ? ?
"Yes, grandma. We didn't know in advance that you had money, or Grandma Ge told us. Didn't she say that all the money is in your hands, so uncle has no money to go out and find someone to borrow money?"
Meiyou also helped Meiberry emphasize this fact. Remembering Mrs. Ge's initial attack just now, she glanced at the people around her and finally looked at Mrs. Ge and asked:
"Grandma Ge, how did you know that my milk is worth money? We don't know about it. Could it be that my uncle told you personally?"
Damn it, why would Mei Dahu tell her?
"Yeah, normally speaking, if my uncle wanted to borrow money to pay for the corvee, wouldn't he just think that there was no money at home, so he came out to borrow it?
How do you know that I have money in my milk, or are you just trying to save money for your fourth uncle? "
Mei Bei helped Mei You transfer Zhang's anger to Mrs. Ge.
Sure enough, after listening to the exchanges between Mei Mei and Mei You, Mrs. Zhang quickly reacted and glared directly at the "initiator" in front of her.
"Yeah, how do you know this?"
Mrs. Ge suddenly felt guilty for some reason when Mrs. Zhang suddenly glared at her.
"say something!"
Seeing Mrs. Ge's sudden guilty look, Ms. Zhang greeted her and frightened her.
Soon, Mrs. Ge realized that she was frightened by Mrs. Zhang, and she immediately puffed up her chest and pretended to be tough: "Is my guess okay? Didn't you admit it just now?"
"Um...you deceived me?!"
Zhang was stunned and immediately became furious.
Then there was another small beep from Mei Berry: "If my milk hadn't come, wouldn't Granny Ge's 'guess' be true? After all, no one would refute it~
But now my mother has responded to the previous quarrel, and there is no difference in howling~"
No difference? !
How could there be no difference? !
Mrs. Zhang directly stretched out her hand and threw herself in front of Mrs. Ge, grabbing her hair and causing her to let out a scream like a slaughtered pig.
The movement was so fierce that Meiberry subconsciously touched her head.
"You long-tongued woman! You gave birth to a fool, a weak chicken, and an old pious woman who is always making fun of others outside! Today you dare to talk about me, I want you to look good!"
"Ah!...You dare to say it's not true?"
Mrs. Ge was not to be outdone. After speaking, she reached out and pinched Mrs. Zhang's chest!
"ah!"
Some of the aunts and daughters-in-law present gasped after seeing this move!
This is too vicious!
"My family is none of your business and you want you to talk about it outside?!"
In pain, Mrs. Zhang's men worked even harder, wanting to pull out all of Mrs. Ge's hair. This also made Mrs. Ge attack harder.
"If you do something shameful to yourself, you won't be punished... Hiss! Ah!"
The two of them fought more and more fiercely.
Seeing that the situation was not right, several women had already stepped forward to start a fight in the morning, so they could not avoid being affected.
So much so that some angry people simply join in when they see that they can't pull it off.
A good two-person fight ended in a group brawl.
"What are you doing!! What are you doing? Oh, stop fighting, stop fighting!"
There were also a few timid villagers who didn't dare to start a fight, and just watched as their nice yard suddenly turned into a scene of group fights.
Other than standing and shouting, there was nothing anyone else could do for a while.
"Oh my god~ How did this happen?"
Mei Berry blinked, looked at each other with Mei You, and murmured in a low voice: "We... don't have much sex, right?"
"Well...the weather is too hot, and I'm very angry."
Meiyou was a little confused about triggering such a large-scale group fight.
It’s really——
"careful!"
Mei Bei was looking at Mei You thinking, but she saw that Mrs. Ge had no idea how she had broken through the encirclement, and she rushed toward them with a look of disgrace and hatred in her eyes.
She shouted to remind Mei You, but Mei You dodged and rushed towards Mrs. Ge.
Then Meiyou raised her hand and slapped Mrs. Ge on the face.
Mei You's slap directly sent Mrs. Ge spinning half a circle, but Mei You grabbed her clothes with one hand and directly used her inertia to send her back into the fighting crowd.
In an instant, Mrs. Ge was overwhelmed by the crowd.
Mrs. Ge: "You little bitch%#...@#...￥!"
[Congratulations to the host, the famous scene 'Slap Granny Ge in the face' has been checked in, and the reward of 2 taels of silver has been distributed to the host's system space, please check it in time~]
Mayberry, who had witnessed the entire "slap in the face" process, was full of questions.
Is the slap in the face issued by this system to Granny Ge really a slap in the face? !
This chapter has a lot of words, almost equal to the number of words in two updates.
I originally wanted to take it apart to develop it, but then I found out that it had no smell after taking it apart. It just needs to be continuous and then...ah hahahaha.
There may be a second update today, maybe emmm. I have to go out for something during the day, so I will come back later and continue~
