Chapter 82 Afraid of Pig-like Teammates
"Qinglian, I'm your father, if you drive me away, it's unfilial!" Old man Xue forced out a few old tears and looked at Xue Shi pitifully.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xue couldn't bear it even more. After all, the old man Xue was also her own father, and he was so old, but she was afraid that her daughter would be angry. For a while, Mrs. Xue fell into a dilemma.

After thinking for a while, she said awkwardly, "Fu Ling, your grandfather is so old, he shouldn't have any other thoughts. The left and right families are rich now, so it's okay to add more chopsticks."

"Tsk tsk, I said auntie, isn't this a matter of adding more chopsticks?" Luo Yunhao couldn't help but shook his head and said.

Although he had just come to Meng Fuling's house, after listening for a while, he had already figured out the general idea, and he was a little speechless about Xue's family.

"Stupid!" Steward Lu stared. He acted neatly, and he couldn't get used to people like Mrs. Xue the most.

Hulu has always respected Mrs. Xue, but now she wants to scold her but can't. He is upset after hearing her words, so she just followed what Meng Fuling said just now: "Since mother is so filial, why don't you build another room so that you can take care of her parents every day?" .”

When Xue saw that everyone objected, especially her daughter's indifferent face, she felt even more uncomfortable.

Old man Xue saw that Xue was shaken, so he hurriedly said: "Qinglian, it's better to listen to Fuling and let her build another new house, and I will live with you and your mother."

If Xue is driven out at that time, wouldn't the house be his?Thinking of this, old man Xue restrained his excitement, and said again: "Your elder brother and the others are also filial, why not just build the house in Baoji Village, and they can come and go frequently."

Meng Fuling raised her eyebrows, looked at Mrs. Xue, and said nothing, thinking that Mrs. Xue's intentions were already obvious, if Mrs. Xue couldn't see it anymore, then she really convinced Mrs. Xue.

"Father, I've been married for many years. How could I leave Fuling behind and move to Baoji Village to live with you? I'm afraid that if I live, I won't have my share in the house."

Mrs. Xue is kind, but she is not stupid. After hearing what old man Xue said, how could she not understand what his plan was, and a strong sense of disappointment suddenly surged in her heart.

"Look at you, what are you talking about? You are married, so you are not my daughter? It doesn't matter if the house is given to me and your mother, or your elder brother. They are all a family anyway, so there is no need to worry about it." The old man Xue was in a hurry, and accidentally exposed his purpose.

Seeing that Xue's eyes were red and he didn't speak, he grabbed Xue's sleeve and continued: "Besides, Fuling is willing to build a new house, so I have no objection."

"Father, let go! Fuling!" Mrs. Xue couldn't shake old Xue's hand, so she could only look at Meng Fuling for help.

Hulu was about to step forward to help her, but Meng Fuling shook his head at him, and he stopped in his tracks.

"Qinglian, I raised you so much, but I just want you to be filial, don't you agree?" Meng Fuling seemed to ignore the Xue family, which made the old man even more proud and bold.

"No, I, I—" Although Xue Shi was afraid of the Meng family, what she was most afraid of was this father who beat and scolded her since she was a child.

However, the word filial piety was so big that she didn't dare to refute his words, and her daughter ignored her again, she really didn't know what to do.

"No? That means I agree." The old man Xue was overjoyed and said in a flash.

Meng Fuling also nodded and agreed: "It seems that Mother agrees, and it's too late to build a house, so it's better to buy a ready-made one."

"Fu Ling is right, ready-made ones are also good! I just saw a house in my village some time ago." Old man Xue was afraid that something would happen to him, and he couldn't wait to build a new house. Driven by greed, Gu Not wanting to think about why Meng Fuling agreed so easily, she nodded repeatedly.

The last time Meng Fuling's family slaughtered a pig, he didn't come with him. He heard Xue Qingsong and the others say how bad Meng Fuling was, but now he thinks that Meng Fuling is just a teenage girl. Don't dare to do anything.

"Then hurry up, pack up and move out first, and then go to see the house." Meng Fuling smiled, and ordered Mei Xiang to help Xue Shi pack her luggage.

"No! Fuling, you can't abandon me. I won't live with your grandfather. Your grandfather has your uncle and the others." Xue grabbed Meng Fuling's hand and shook her head. The fear of being abandoned by her daughter made her endure I couldn't help crying.

Meng Fuling felt a little uncomfortable, it wasn't that she was cruel, she just wanted to let Mrs. Xue stop being soft-hearted and leave old man Xue behind.

She knew that she was Xue's most important person, so she used herself as a powerful medicine to let Xue know that if she insisted on keeping Xue's family, she would have to give up her daughter.

Furthermore, Meng Fuling also believed that if Mrs. Xue disagreed, no matter how bold the Xue family was, they would not dare to live in her house so blatantly. sit idly by.

The bottom line is Xue's attitude. Meng Fuling just wants to prevent similar things from happening again.Otherwise, if she's not at home one day, wouldn't the things in the house be emptied?
"No! Qinglian, what's wrong with living with us? Besides, what about you hurting your mother? Are you not responsible?" Old man Xue showed his true colors completely, no longer pretending to be pitiful, Bad voice.

"I didn't hurt my mother. It was my elder brother who slandered me. They also took a lot of valuables from home, as well as clothes and jewelry from Fuling and me." Mrs. Xue kept shaking her head, and the tears fell even more fiercely.

Meng Fuling was even more furious. Looking outside the door, she saw that the Xue family and others were still poking their heads outside, "Regardless of whether my mother hurt grandma or not, it is an indisputable fact that they broke into my house and robbed my things."

"Then what do you want?" Old man Xue didn't understand why Meng Fuling, who had just said that he would buy a house for him, started to care again.

"Gourd, Luo Yunhao, you send them to the yamen." Meng Fuling knew that Luo Zhiyong was afraid of the gourd, and asked him to send the Xue family to the yamen. Luo Zhiyong would definitely punish the Xue family severely.

"What? You want to send your uncle and the others to see the officials?" Old man Xue stared until his eyes popped out.

Only then did he realize that Meng Fuling was teasing him when he said that he would buy a house for him, and he was immediately ashamed and annoyed.

"Meng Fuling, if you see an official, see the official. Who is afraid of whom? However, we are not from Qishan County. If you want to see an official, you have to meet an official from our Jinhe County." Hearing Meng Fuling's words, Xue Qingsong poked his head out and said.

Meng Fuling knew that although Baoji Village was only two villages away from Lingyun Village, they did not belong to the same county, and Xue Qingqing, Xue's younger sister, happened to be a concubine for the county magistrate of Jinhe County, so Xue Qingsong would He proposed to see the county magistrate of Jinhe County.

"That's right, that's right!" The rest of the Xue family echoed like echoes.

Meng Fuling was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, and Hulu became even more impatient, and directly stepped forward and raised his hand to chop them down one by one. After wailing, they all fainted on the ground.

"Do you want to take them directly to the yamen?" Luo Yunhao rubbed his fists and smiled maliciously.

"Yes! I'll leave it to you!" Seeing Luo Yunhao like this, Meng Fuling knew that he wanted to punish Xue's family with evil intentions, so she was naturally happy to agree.

After getting along with each other for this period of time, Meng Fuling already knew that Luo Yunhao was playful and took pleasure in pranking others, and he was an extremely dishonest person.

"Isn't there still me?" Calabash was dissatisfied with Meng Fuling and said to leave the matter to Luo Yunhao.

"Thank you for your hard work, come back and cook your favorite dishes." Meng Fuling said with a funny smile, luring him with delicious food.

"I want it too!" Luo Yunhao said excitedly, he hadn't eaten the dishes made by Meng Fuling yet.

"Okay! Both!" Meng Fuling nodded in agreement.

As soon as Luo Yunhao got the approval, he happily took off the clothes of Xue Qingsong and others, and asked Meng Fuling, "Are these clothes yours? If so, they can be treated as stolen goods."

"Yes, the clothes and jewelry worn by the women belong to my mother and I, and the men's should be purchased from my family's property." Meng Fuling was amused by Luo Yunhao's behavior of stripping clothes regardless of men and women.

"That's okay, bring the rope!" Kidnapping people is something Luo Yunhao is used to. He travels in the rivers and lakes, and sometimes he loses his money, so he becomes a bounty hunter.

"You, you can't do this!" Old man Xue watched his son and the others naked and thrown into the carriage like rice dumplings. He was so angry that he didn't dare to step forward to stop him, for fear that he would end up in the same fate as them.

"Shut up! Besides, I'll tie you up too!" Meng Fuling threatened in a cold voice.

The old man Xue was always a bully and feared the tough, but he dared not speak up after being threatened by Meng Fuling.

It is even more impossible for Xue to open his mouth to intercede for Xue's family, so he has to keep silent.

Steward Lu took a look at Meng Fuling, with a strange expression on his face, and his disgust towards her increased. He didn't agree with the way she beat Xue Shi, and he was dissatisfied with her always ordering gourds to do things.

When he looked at Meng Fuling, she also looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Uncle Lu, you can go together too!"

Steward Lu nodded, and together with Hulu and the others, they sent the Xue family to the Yamen.

As soon as they left, old man Xue lay on the ground and rolled around, "Unfilial! Xue Qinglian, Meng Fuling, you are so unfilial, how could you treat your family like this..."

"Father, don't be like this, get up!" Xue was very at a loss, and felt that her own father was acting like this in front of her daughter, which made her so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.

"Brother Dahui, my grandfather is suffering from epilepsy, you should lock him up in the underground kiln, so as not to hurt innocent people." Meng Fuling said with a 'worried' face.

Lian Dahui nodded hastily, "Fu Ling is right, it would be bad if it hurts innocent people."

After finishing speaking, Lian Dahui summoned another worker to arrest old man Xue, and planned to lock him up in the cellar where the mustard mustard was kept. The mustard mustard had just been marinated and the smell was still strong.

"I'm not sick, I'm not sick, you can't lock me up, Qinglian, uh..." Old man Xue yelled anxiously, and in the end even Dahui grabbed a handful of snow from the ground to block him Q.

"Fuling——" Mrs. Xue was afraid that the old man would be locked up, and wanted to plead for mercy, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't continue.

Meng Fuling frowned and said: "Mother, you must have a bottom line in life. You can't let people touch you again and again. This will only make people gain an inch. Now let them live in and rob us of our property. Then next time What? Did it drive us out, occupy the house, and take away our property?"

"I won't let them do this." Xue said this very confidently.

"You really can't? But you are clearly indulging their behavior. You know the character of old man Xue, but you still want to keep him. Do you think he will be safe if he stays? Will the people of the Xue family do nothing?" Meng Meng Fuling's head hurts, so she patiently communicated with Xue Shi.

Xue Shi bit her lip and said nothing, she knew what she did was wrong, but facing her close relatives, especially her parents, she really couldn't harden her heart.

In fact, hearing Meng Fuling directly call her father Xue old man instead of grandpa, Xue felt indescribably sad.

"Mother, think about it carefully!" Meng Fuling sighed.

She knew that what she said was too harsh, and Xue must be very sad, but her patience was limited, and she couldn't tolerate Xue holding her back again and again. teammate.

Meng Fuling didn't go to see Mrs. Xue again, but walked to the room, wanting to see what the room had been like.

Although she had expected that the room would be messed up, she never expected that the mess would be worse than being burglarized.

Not to mention all the clothes, jewelry and valuables, even the books she put in the kang cabinet were torn all over the floor.

Fortunately, she kept the paper with the detailed methods of planting lotus root and making vermicelli in a secret place, otherwise it would be terrible if these leaked out.

"Lan Xiang!" After thinking for a while, she called Lan Xiang in.

"Miss, what are your orders?" Lan Xiang came in immediately after hearing the summons.

"You let Zhao Cheng rush to the Yamen and tell them that the Xue family stole all my savings, a total of 500 taels." A sneer appeared on Meng Fuling's lips.

Don't you want to blackmail her for 500 taels?Then she asked them to post 500 taels.

After Lan Xiang heard this, she was taken aback for a moment, then responded with a smile, and hurried to find Zhao Cheng.

At the stall where Mrs. Qiao and Li Shanhuan were asked to clean up the room, Meng Fuling asked about Jin's guest room in the west wing, so she went to see Jin.

The original owner has not seen Jin Shi several times. In her memory, Jin Shi is a woman whose personality is very similar to Xue Shi. She is timid and cowardly. Like a half-blind man.

Meng Fuling guessed that when she and Mrs. Xue were both divorced, Mrs. Jin might not be able to find them if she wanted to. Unexpectedly, the Xue family and others intentionally injured Mrs. Jin in order to blackmail Mrs. Xue.

"Grandma." As soon as Meng Fuling stepped into the guest room, she saw an old woman who looked older than old man Xue lying on the kang, alone, and felt desolate.

"Fuling? Are you Fuling?" Mrs. Jin was very excited when she heard Meng Fuling's voice. She tried her best to support her body and wanted to sit up.

"Grandma, I'm Fuling, you lie down and don't get up." Seeing this, Meng Fuling hurried over to stop Jin from getting up.

"Fuling, grandma hasn't seen you for a long time. I heard that you are promising now. Grandma is really happy for you." Jin didn't feel strange because she rarely met Meng Fuling, but took her hand and said something non-stop.

Seeing Jin's wrinkled face, struggling to open her eyes, but unable to see her appearance clearly.

Something in Meng Fuling's heart seemed to be touched, and she couldn't help but think of her grandma in modern times, and her heart softened a lot.

Jin said, and said: "Fu Ling, it wasn't your mother who hit me, it was those unfilial sons who deliberately pushed me!"

Meng Fuling replied: "Grandma, I know, I sent them to the Yamen, you won't blame me, will you?"

These words were meant to be a little tentative. Meng Fuling felt sorry for the Jin family's misery in her later years, and she was different from the best of the Xue family, so she wanted to keep her in her heart.

But it still needs to be tested, so as not to lure wolves into the house with good intentions.

"Did you really send them to the yamen? Can you take me there? I'm going to testify, and I can't let them wrong your mother. They are really not human. They threatened your mother with me in order to search for the property in your house."

Jin did not disappoint Meng Fuling, not only did not blame her, but also offered to testify.

Meng Fuling was stunned, and then realized that Xue Shi allowed the Xue family to search the property in the house because they threatened her, and then she realized that she had misunderstood Xue Shi.

"Grandma, rest at ease, I won't let them wrong my mother." Meng Fuling comforted her.

The two had another conversation before Meng Fuling decided to go to Xue Shi, after all, she misunderstood Xue Shi.

"Mei Xiang, where's my mother?" Meng Fuling searched around the house, but she didn't see Mrs. Xue, so she had to ask Mei Xiang.

"Miss, Madam said just now that she was a little dizzy and wanted to go back to her room to sleep for a while, and she also told the servants not to disturb her." Mei Xiang replied.

Meng Fuling felt something was wrong when she heard this, so she rushed to Xue's room, but the door was closed tightly, "Mother, mother, open the door!"

After knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response, which made Meng Fuling even more anxious, and hurriedly asked someone to help knock on the door.

bump!After the door was knocked open, she saw Mrs. Xue hanging from the beam. Meng Fuling was so frightened that her heart stopped, "Mother!"

She screamed and wanted to move the chair to rescue Xue Shi, Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang hurried over to help, and hurriedly untied Xue Shi.

"Miss, don't worry, madam is still angry." Mrs. Qiao sniffed Xue's breath and said excitedly.

"Hurry up and call a doctor!" Meng Fuling breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that she was discovered in time, as Xue had just hanged herself not long ago.

Fortunately, there was nothing serious, so I didn't send her to the doctor directly, but invited the doctor to come, and I can check it with Jin's Clinic.

Xue's eyelids moved, she was clearly awake, but she was unwilling to open her eyes no matter what.

"Mother, I blamed you wrongly, but you really shouldn't seek death."

After Meng Fuling knew that Mrs. Xue was fine, she held her breath in her heart. She didn't say anything else, but if Mrs. Xue committed suicide because of her blame, then she would not only have her spine amputated for the rest of her life, but also feel guilty.

Therefore, Mrs. Xue's suicide was harming her, and she was even more angry that Mrs. Xue did not cherish her own life.

"I know I'm useless and will only drag you down. It's better to die." Xue covered her face and cried bitterly, unable to listen to Meng Fuling's words of enlightenment.

Finally, Meng Fuling's patience was worn out, she flung her sleeves and left the room, seemingly ignoring Xue Shi.

******
In the evening, Hulu and the others came back with an IOU of 500 taels.

It turned out that after Zhao Cheng forwarded Meng Fuling's words to Hulu, Hulu put pressure on Luo Zhiyong.

Luo Zhiyong is not a county magistrate for nothing, and the means he should have are absolutely indispensable.

After a meal, the Xue family was forced to admit the blackmail, and signed a 500 tael IOU on the spot, and set a time limit for repayment.

"Can they still afford 500 taels?" Luo Yunhao doubted.

Before Meng Fuling could speak, Hulu said 'stupid'.

"Hey! I said gourd, why do you say I'm stupid? I'm not wrong, look at how poor they are, let alone 500 taels, I'm afraid they can't afford to pay back dozens of taels." Luo Yunhao was unwilling to be looked down upon by gourd. , yelled.

"Mrs. Meng didn't mean to ask them to pay back the 500 taels of silver." Butler Lu couldn't help but said.

"If you don't let them pay it back, why ask them to sign the IOU?" Luo Yunhao was at a loss, feeling confused.

Meng Fuling said: "If they owe this huge sum of money, they won't dare come to pick trouble again. Besides, I want to let them let my grandma go."

"Then why do you still keep your grandpa secret?" Luo Yunhao asked again like a curious baby.

Now, Meng Fuling was too lazy to answer Luo Yunhao, this guy was too nervous.

"You promised to cook my favorite dish." Hulu reminded, not forgetting this.

Meng Fuling was very helpless, so she just remembered to eat the gourd, forget it!She did what she said, so she had to get into the kitchen.

******
The members of the Xue family were beaten and locked up for another night before supporting each other and returning to Baoji Village naked, which became a joke in the village.

After two days of recuperation, Xue Qingsong and his wife dragged their wounded bodies to Jinhe County to find Xue Qingqing.

Because Xue Qingqing is extremely beautiful, coquettish and seductive, she is very favored by the county magistrate, so every time Xue Qingsong and the others go to her, the servants guarding the back door dare not neglect and report immediately.

Not long after, Xue Qingqing's personal maid came out to meet them.

"Qingqing! Something's wrong, something's wrong!" Mrs. Xue Qingsong cried loudly as soon as she stepped into the courtyard where Xue Qingqing lived.

The same was true for the others, one howling louder than the other, as if singing an opera.

"Brother, what happened? What's the matter with you?" Xue Qingqing asked urgently when she saw that her brother and sister-in-law were in a mess.

"Qingqing, the thing is like this..." Xue Qingsong felt that his eloquence was better than that of his mother-in-law, so he rushed to tell Xue Qingqing about it.

Needless to say, Xue Qingsong confuses right and wrong again, not only repeating the statement that Mrs. Xue had wronged Mrs. Jin, but also how Meng Fuling slandered them and caused them to be punished.

At the end, Xue Qingsong said that Meng Fuling detained Mrs. Jin and Mr. Xue and refused to release them, "Qingqing, even if we sell our whole family, we still can't get together the 500 taels of silver. What should we do? What should parents do?" ah?"

"Brother, don't worry, I won't let that little slut bully our family, and I don't have to return the 500 taels." Xue Qingqing's face was cloudy, he thought for a while, and then said.

"We really don't have to pay back Meng Fuling's 500 taels? Do you want to pay it back for us?" Xue Qingsong laughed after hearing this.

"Why did you give her 500 taels for nothing?" Xue Qingqing asked with a sneer.

"You mean not to pay back? How could she give up?" Xue Qingsong asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"My master is the magistrate, how dare she do it?" Xue Qingqing said triumphantly, pulling out the tea leaves in the teacup.

Ever since she became a concubine for the county magistrate, the Xue family has praised her extremely highly and flattered her so much that she feels that she should protect the Xue family.

Xue Qingsong's mother-in-law muttered softly, "But they are not from the same county. Their county magistrate seems to listen to Mr. Meng Fuling very much."

Xue Qingqing put down the teacup heavily, "Who said that the magistrate of the same county must be the one to cure her? I will go to her tomorrow and see if she dares not give me face."

"Yes, yes, whoever dares not to give Qingqing face is courting death." Xue Qingsong nodded and bowed in response.

"Go back and wait for the news!" Xue Qingqing finished speaking and waved them away.

"Qingqing, we owed so much money, and all our clothes were stripped when we went back. Look, didn't you—" Xue Qingsong rubbed his fingers and smiled greedily before finishing his sentence.

When Xue Qingqing saw his elder brother like this, he knew that he was asking for money again, frowned, and asked the maid to fetch a few taels of silver, and sent him away like a beggar.

Xue Qingsong got the silver and thought that Xue Qingqing could help them cancel the 500 taels of IOU, so he left happily.

As soon as they left, the maid beside Xue Qingqing approached and whispered: "Auntie, do you really want to help them? 500 taels is not a small amount, will Meng Fuling sell it?"

"Now that everyone knows that Meng Fuling is rich, how can he really take 500 taels seriously? If you want the eldest brother to set up an IOU, you must scare them from making trouble." Xue Qingqing can last a long time among concubines. To be favored is not a person with big breasts and no brains.

"My servant, tell the truth, don't worry, Auntie." After seeing Xue Qingqing's expression, the servant girl said cautiously.

"Let's talk!" Xue Qingqing stroked her swollen belly and motioned the maid to continue.

"My servant feels that it is not worthwhile to offend Meng Fuling for the sake of your natal family. Doesn't it mean that money can make troubles? If she is annoyed, she would rather spend money to make things worse." The servant girl stopped talking and did not finish her sentence. .

Xue Qingqing understood what the servant girl meant, if things got serious, their master wouldn't help her clean up the mess, and she would fall out of favor because of it.

"If my child is born, the problem will definitely be found out. If you want to frame Madam, there is no chance, so it's better—" Xue Qingqing's eyes flashed sinister at this point.

Seeing Xue Qingqing like this, the servant girl shuddered secretly, already guessing what she would do.

In fact, there is another reason why the county magistrate favored Xue Qingqing more and more, that is, he had many concubines, but none of them could conceive a child.

Xue Qingqing found another man to have sex with for her own favor, and finally became pregnant with a child.

I thought that in the future, the mother would be more expensive than the child, but it was not expected. The wife of the main room suggested that the blood should be tested after the child was born, and the county magistrate agreed.

Xue Qingqing knew that if the child was not the county magistrate's, she would die, so she wanted to frame his wife with an abortion.

But Madam is on guard, she has never had a chance, and now God has sent an opportunity to her door, but she has to make good use of it.

******
Meng Fuling didn't know that someone was targeting her, and she was having a headache about Xue's matter.

Xue hadn't eaten for a whole day, didn't speak, just sat in the room, no one tried to persuade her.

Meng Fuling also realized that Xue's timid and sensitive nature was ignored, and her psychology was also ignored.

Xue always thought that he was useless except to drag her daughter back, and was afraid that her daughter would not want her because of this.After this incident, the fear hidden in her heart finally broke out.

At this time, she should have comforted her, but Meng Fuling went the other way, making her want to commit suicide.

When Meng Fuling realized this problem, it was too late, and Xue Shi was hurt after all.

"Your mother is too fragile!" Luo Yunhao shook his head and said, Hulu also frowned.

Steward Lu wanted to stab Meng Fuling a few words, but after thinking about it, let it go.

"Miss, there is a carriage coming to our house." Mrs. Qiao went out to pick vegetables, and when she came back, she saw a strange carriage approaching her house, so she rushed to report to Meng Fuling.

"The carriage? It's Hualin, right?" Meng Fuling guessed.

"Your maidservant doesn't look like her, her eyes are tight." Mrs. Qiao shook her head.

While speaking, the carriage had already stopped outside the door, and the person who came was naturally Xue Qingqing. She put on airs as soon as she came, and asked Meng Fuling to go out to greet her.

After Meng Fuling heard the porter's report, she only smiled coldly, "Tell her, come in if you want, don't think that I will go out to meet her."

"Auntie, this Meng Fuling is too arrogant to take you seriously." The servant girl jumped in anger and scolded Meng Fuling for not knowing what to do.

Xue Qingqing's face also turned ugly. She thought that Meng Fuling would be concerned about her status, and she didn't dare to do too much in terms of face. It seems that she miscalculated.

"After you go in, restrain yourself." Xue Qingqing thought for a while, and then planned to change her attitude towards Meng Fuling.
