"Master, do you think our father will cause us big trouble if he finds out?"
In a slightly desolate small courtyard on the edge of Lihu Town, Jiang was leaning on a pile of mud and looking worriedly at Mei Dahu, who was repairing the roof.
"Do you think that dead girl Xiaolian has arrived or not? She didn't ask anyone to give us the news. Do you think she won't forget about us just because she got married?"
"Shut up."
Mei Dahu had a headache listening to Jiang's dense words.
"If you are really afraid of being discovered, just keep your mouth shut. You can go buy two portions of roast chicken later. We will go to the village to see our parents and bring some portions to the old couple. We will pick up An An on the way."
The parents Mei Dahu mentioned here refer to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
After the family classification, Mei Dahu sent Mei An directly to Yinshui Village. He studied for enlightenment on weekdays and rested at the home of his father-in-law and mother-in-law after school. The husband will be picked up every time he is on holiday.
As soon as she heard that she was going to pick up her son, Ms. Jiang immediately became happy, wiped her hands on her apron and said, "I'll go right away!"
Seeing Jiang walking away, Mei Dahu breathed a sigh of relief.
All the good mood I had was ruined by this talkative bitch of my own.
Originally, when his son-in-law moved out, he said that the house in Jinbai County could be used by the family. He was almost ready to agree, but fortunately, he was reminded by his mother-in-law.
She first asked him to walk around the county town and experience the life of ordinary people in the county town.
That day, he didn't experience anything. Just after learning that even water in this county had to be paid for, Mei Dahu gave up the idea of living in the county.
Although he has some carpentry skills, it cannot support his expenses in the county.
Secondly, his mother-in-law also asked, what would he say if his son-in-law moved away and the former students came to him? Or how should he explain it if Mei Yang came to find him?
With Mei Yang's level, if he wanted to study later and knew about his relationship with his son-in-law, would his parents make trouble with him and ask him to find his son-in-law to open the back door for Mei Yang to study next to him?
Things keep happening again and again, Mei Yang takes the advantage. What will happen to Mei An studying in a few years?
After asking a few questions, Mei Dahu completely rejected his son-in-law's proposal.
The other party conveniently disposed of the house in Jinbai County and gave all the money from the sale to himself.
The other party also wrote a letter of introduction, and after Mei An finished studying at the Meng School, the teacher who was the Meng Meng before he was admitted to the Tongsheng School also looked for him.
In a few years, if Mei An is really talented and passes the Tongsheng exam, she can study with his son-in-law.
Although Mei Dahu didn't quite understand this arrangement, he told his mother-in-law about it. Mrs. Yu was very happy and said that this was considered intentional.
I want him to maintain the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law more in the future, and never make a big deal about it. Over time, this benefit will flow slowly. Don't ask for too much at the beginning and wear away the "grace of saving your son."
Mei Dahu thought about what his mother-in-law said, and then thought about his parents.
After so long, he has seen through it all.
His mother is really partial to Mei Yang. Even if she feels sorry for Mei An, she still has to stand aside compared to Mei Yang.
As for his father, he didn't seem to be partial to anyone, and would sometimes talk to him in private about what he had and what he didn't.
But in fact, his father only likes himself more.
He didn't like anyone in that family.
Mei Dahu sighed as he thought about it, and slowly came down from the roof. When he turned around, he saw his own mother standing at the door of his house.
"Mom? Why are you here!?"
Mei Dahu was shocked.
"Big tiger!"
When Mrs. Zhang came up, she threw herself into Mei Dahu's arms and burst into tears. She shouted, "Your father has disappeared! It's been several days!"
"What, my dad, why is my dad missing?"
Mei Dahu was also startled at this time and quickly helped Mrs. Zhang up and asked her carefully.
"How come you disappeared without a trace?"
"Didn't someone come back to the village to spread the news a few days ago? They said that your brother was admitted as a scholar."
"Ah? The fourth child passed the exam? A few days ago?"
Mei Dahu has been busy repairing the dilapidated house he bought in the past few days. The land in the village has been rented to others, and he has not returned to the village. He has no idea that Mei Yang has become a scholar.
"It's been more than half a month."
As soon as Zhang finished speaking, Mei Dahu's eyes changed when he looked at Mrs. Zhang.
You haven't told him this kind of thing for more than half a month?
Worried that he would regret going back to find them?
"Then what?"
"Then the person who reported the news to your brother told your father that your brother will go to the county in ten days to thank you for his kindness, and ask your father to go too, and they will be together then."
As soon as he heard the thank you sir, a flash of discomfort and confusion flashed across Mei Dahu's face.
He remembered that his son-in-law seemed to be ready to leave at that time, right?
He was also in the county at that time!
Will his father see this?
Mei Dahu panicked for no reason, and then he heard his mother crying: "But your father never came back after he left! Even your brother is nowhere to be seen! What do you think is going on?!"
***
"Well, anyway, the two elders of the Mei family were said to have very bad expressions when they heard it. The old lady Zhang let out a 'Gah' sound and almost fainted as soon as she rolled her eyes!"
Meiberry also didn't expect that shopkeeper Ma would talk about this matter vividly, and her rich facial expressions were far different from her cold-faced lady appearance!
But when she saw her mother laughing so hard, she didn't feel anything at all. Mei Bei could probably imagine what her mother would be like when she came to see Shopkeeper Ma.
Sure enough, there are definitely similarities between these two people playing together.
With her excited expression when talking about gossip, Mei Berry felt like she had seen Aunt Wang when she was young.
"By the way, how do you want to vent your anger later?"
As Otosan spoke, he looked at Mayberry and the others with a bit of casual curiosity.
"Why are you so angry?"
Mayberry was stunned.
"Um... didn't you girl say last time that your family suffered a lot because you were not a biological child at Lao Mei's house? Now, you just lost your temper like this? Is it because of some kind of upbringing? "
Just from the information he investigated, Yisan couldn't even imagine what life the Mayberry family had been living.
When I think that their family has reached this point, it is really the blessing of the old master’s spirit in heaven, right?
After going around and around, no one expected that the person her master had been looking for for so long was right under her nose.
If he hadn't suddenly discovered that Mei Yang was wearing the jade pendant on the way, how could he have discovered that Mei Youqian was the child of his old master.
"Although there is kindness in nurturing her, it is an indisputable fact that they over-squeeze her. The kindness has long been worn away."
Mayberry knew this very well, and she even felt angry.
Without the support of their whole family, they would not have known their own life experience, suffered all kinds of unfairness, were oppressed due to their filial piety, and finally died in isolation and helplessness.
A family of three died in different places...
"Our family taught them many lessons when we were in Jinshui Village. But sometimes the saying 'one's nature is hard to change is easy to change' is true.
They are the maggots in the gutter, doing disgusting things.
But they are happy to be maggots in the gutter, but we are not willing.
We want to live a good life!
If all our energy falls on them, should we live a good life on our own?
There is no need to keep entangled with people like them. Our better and better life is the best retribution for them! "
Mei Bei said she was open-minded, but she was clear-minded in her heart!
When the flood comes, will Lao Mei's family still need them to take action?
Think about it, just because you have to keep targeting Lao Mei's family and delaying your escape is not worth the gain!
If the plot is really screwed up, and the people of Lao Mei's family can escape death later, Mei Berry will believe that God has the virtue of good life.
If they survived and still had the energy to run in front of her and continue dancing, she would be a ghost if she didn't get killed by them.
Although Meiberry thought so in her heart, she still said some decent words on her face.
So these words reached Wang Beigu's ears, and since he didn't know Mei Berry's true thoughts, he admired Mei Berry a little more.
"I thought that although she was smart, she was too harsh and vindictive, but she turned out to be a person with an open-minded nature. She probably followed her parents."
Wang Beigu looked at the letter in his hand, which clearly stated the attitude of Mei Berry and his family towards Old Man Mei.
"It's all because of the good old master~" Jia Qi echoed from the side, feeling really happy inside.
Many people in their organization were taken in by their old master, so they naturally remember his kindness.
Although he has always emphasized that he is also conferring favors on behalf of others, every year on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, people in the organization will burn incense on a tablet without words.
It is said that the owner of the tablet is the benefactor of the old master and the benefactor of these people.
Wang Beigu turned to look at Jia Qi and ordered: "Take a breath and throw it out to fend for yourself. Before that, remember to ask Mei Yaozu to sign all the facts he told him and send them to the Imperial Capital."
Thanks to the little baby abandoned cat for voting 2 monthly votes~
Mei Yang's ostentatious jade pendant finally made him unlucky and he was targeted.
After being interrogated for a long time, nothing came out, so they had to find the old man Mei who gave Mei Yang the jade pendant.
At the beginning, didn't Mei Dahu accompany the old man to give money to Mei Yang? At that time, the old man Mei carried Mei Dahu on his back and gave him this jade pendant.
Although it is not the most valuable, the jade pendant is exquisite and suitable for scholars to wear. Mayberry also saw it from behind.
So this Wang Beigu came to Bo Fishing and caught Old Man Mei. Hahaha~
So - in the original book, Xie Changxu later discovered that the second brother-in-law of the Mei family was a blood relative of his adoptive father. He also found out when the second brother-in-law of the Mei family was dead. In the end, the entire Mei family was cut into pieces by him.
Moreover, in the later period, Lao Mei's family died, and no one told him that the relationship between the heroine's family and Lao Mei's family was rubbish. When he learned that the heroine's family also came from Lao Mei's family, Mr. Xie was basically mentally disturbed at that time. If you know how to confront the heroine...
As for why I am mentally disturbed... I will write about it later, but if I say it now, it will be a spoiler for QvQ.
When I get a chance, I'll ask the editor if I can open a separate volume and play the extras, and see if reading them on the APP will have any impact, and then I'll see if I can put some extras in the middle that I've filled in before. If it doesn’t work, I will slowly write the original book to fill in the pit + extras after it is finished.
Why do my eyes hurt and have headaches during menstruation? QvQ?
