Chapter 98: No more competing with eldest brother for filial piety(1/2)
"Shut up!"
Now Old Mei can't sit still. The purpose of these people's coming is not pure!
If others don’t know, doesn’t he himself know?
He actually bought the land himself!
But in order to prevent the second brother and the others from causing trouble again, he also wanted to teach them a lesson, so he said that the boss bought it.
Who knew that something like this would actually happen!
"What? Is what the third brother and sister said wrong? Didn't you, our men, and the third brother say that the eldest brother bought these four acres of land with the money he earned from his work?"
Mei Berry could clearly see the displeasure and nervousness flashing in Old Man Mei's eyes.
In sharp contrast to his expression was her mother and aunt. Those two people probably really thought that this was how Tian came to be.
[My grandpa... I am afraid that only he knows what is going on with this land purchase, right? 】
Mayberry shared everything she saw with the system.
[Otherwise, my grandfather’s expression wouldn’t be like this.]
[Please ask the host to check in for the famous scene "The heroine reveals the true identity of her grandfather", the time limit is one year, and the reward will be two hundred pounds of cotton (with seeds). If you fail to check in, there will be no penalty. 】
At this time, the system opened a new check-in, and Mei Berry turned to look in Mei You's direction.
Sure enough, Mei You seemed to have doubts about Old Man Mei.
Huh!
She said that her father had long suspected that his grandfather had not spoken to the system, so he was waiting here!
[Why are you so compassionate and there is no punishment? 】
Meiberry was suddenly given a long-term task by the system. For a moment, she was not sure what level this task was.
[Because it is a side mission, if you find it, you will have its own benefits. If you can't find it, it will not affect the main plot. 】
[Is that so? Are there any branch lines to check in? 】
Mayberry's answer to the system seemed to be unclear.
Taking advantage of old man Mei's hesitation, Mei Berry heard her mother continue: "Since the field was bought with the money earned by the eldest brother, it will naturally belong to the eldest brother's family from now on, right?"
As Wei Meili spoke, she looked at Jiang, raised her chin, and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you think so?"
"yes!"
Why would Jiang hesitate in such a matter?
Hesitating for even a second is disrespectful to these four acres of land!
She, a woman, doesn't care how much money four acres of land is worth, or whether her husband can afford to buy these four acres of land with his income outside.
Her father-in-law admitted that this was actually purchased with her man's money, right?
"But Second Aunt..." Mei You also saw what Wei Meili was going to do, and suddenly spoke to help Wei Meili.
"Um?"
"Grandpa and the others haven't separated their families yet. The money that uncle gave to grandpa also belongs to the public. After these four acres of land..."
Mei You deliberately put it off and didn't say the last part of the sentence.
But can Jiang not hear this?
The blazing joy in my heart just now suddenly felt like a basin of cold water had been poured on it.
What will happen to these four acres of land in the future?
Is it possible to divide the family without completely giving it to their family?
She turned to look at her parents-in-law in disbelief. Old Mei had already stood up from his chair, his eyes gloomy.
After listening for a long time, Mrs. Zhang seemed to understand something, but something seemed wrong.
"If we divide the family in this way, won't we have to share the land with others?"
Jiang didn't say anything. By that time, Miao had already expressed her doubts in her heart.
This kind of talking about the opponent's clues is as good as two. After Miao finished speaking, she felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
With her second sister-in-law blocking her in front and her daughter protecting her next to her, she felt no burden at all when she said this.
"Why?!"
Jiang suddenly transformed into a screaming chicken and refuted Miao's state, which shocked Zhang.
It's one thing to be worried in your heart, but it's another thing to express it directly.
"I bought it with my man's money, why should I bring someone else with me..."
Jiang said angrily, turning around to confront her in-laws, but in the end she met her in-laws looking at her fiercely.
What she wanted to say later got stuck in her throat again.
Suddenly, her heart became even colder.
"Of course this land belongs to our Lao Mei family!"
Mrs. Zhang stared at Mr. Jiang who was eager to claim the ownership of these four acres of land, and for a moment, an unknown fire suddenly burned in her heart.
What's wrong?
Does Dafang also want to separate the family?
"Oh, mother, you mean this land belongs to the public, right?"
Wei Meili was speaking with a half-smile, and out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Jiang's face that had turned pale and was almost transparent after hearing what her mother-in-law had said.
"This...how is it that the public is the winner?"
If it hadn't been for Miao and Mei You's singing together, Jiang probably wouldn't have thought there was any problem. She would have been very happy to have four more acres of land in her family.
However, Meiyou and his mother-in-law also said this before.
If this field is placed in the public house, then when the property is divided among the families, won't we have to take care of the fourth child?
Why?!
Where is the money her man spent!
Jiang's eyes were straightened, and she kept repeating why. When Jiang asked, Zhang's tone was not polite: "The families haven't been separated yet, of course they are all father-in-law!"
Mei Bei watched the quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in front of her. Her aunt was obviously irritated, and her expression when she looked at Mrs. Zhang gradually became ferocious.
After Meiberry noticed it, she quickly pulled her mother back half a step.
"You are just partial! Mom, do you plan to give a portion of this land to the fourth child once the family is divided? I don't agree!"
Just when Mei Bei and the others took half a step back, Jiang screamed and jumped on the spot, as if he had been greatly stimulated.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Zhang was so frightened by her madness that she didn't dare to step forward rashly for a moment, but she was obviously offended by the second half of Jiang's words!
"Old man, please say something~"
At this time, Ms. Zhang thought of Old Man Mei.
Old Man Mei: "..."
You two, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, didn't restrain themselves from the internal fighting before. Now if something goes wrong, do you know to find him?
Seeing that Old Man Mei remained silent for a long time without saying anything, the impatient Zhang finally gritted his teeth and decided to do it himself.
She, the eldest daughter-in-law, just needs to be taken care of, right?
You were lazy at work before, what will happen now?
When buying a piece of land, does it have to be her turn to dictate?
Do you dare to say that you are partial and will subsidize the fourth child in the future?
Mrs. Zhang was also quite angry. She stepped forward angrily, rolled up her sleeves and rushed to Mr. Jiang's side, mouthing off.
A loud slap woke up Jiang who had just fallen into a brief moment of madness, and at the same time he was also blinded.
"mother?"
Jiang covered her face and looked at Zhang in disbelief.
"Quiet, everyone!"
Old man Mei looked at the women across from him with faces that were watching a show, and he opened his mouth and roared.
Jiang, who had just taken the opportunity to act up, was interrupted by her mother-in-law and yelled at by her father-in-law. She didn't dare to go crazy again at this time, so she had to start pretending to be honest.
Seeing the sister-in-law and mother-in-law who were the most troublesome in the room also "sadly exiting", Wei Meili felt quite regretful when she saw this.
"After all, the disposal of this land is our own business. Now that we have divided our families, we won't bother you to worry about it."
How could Old Man Mei want to keep a few of them? Seeing that they were coming to be a troublemaker and causing chaos in the yard, he wanted to drive them away now.
He opened his mouth to see off the guests, but when Wei Meili saw this, he just smiled slightly: "Yes, we didn't worry about it originally. But since we are here to show our filial piety to you, we are also afraid that we will do it in the wrong way, aren't we?"
