"You are back, and his third aunt said that Mei Zhi Niang had transferred the two ridges of mulberry land from our family to their house at some point, saying that the two ridges of land belonged to their family in the first place." Ke Zhong was angry and anxious Said.

One side of the Ke family’s mulberry land is adjacent to Ke Meizhi’s house, one side is connected to Hutou’s house, and the other side belongs to Tongsuo’s house. This has not happened for so many years. I don’t know why Meizhi’s mother suddenly took over her. land?

"Did Meizhi's father also say that those two ridges belonged to his family?" Ke Shuisheng asked. In his impression, although Meizhi's father had a bad temper, he would not be so unreasonable as to occupy other people's land.

"I heard that his old uncle passed away and went to the funeral, and it will take several days before he can come back." Ke Jiangshi said anxiously.

This mulberry garden was lent to him by Dafang, if Mei Zhiniang took these two ridges of land in his own hands, how could she be worthy of Dafang?
It's no wonder that Ke Hanxue's eyes sank.

This Meizhi is usually very scrupulous about Meizhi's father, if Meizhi's father was around, she would never dare to do this.

"Let's go and have a look." Ke Shuisheng pulled the ox cart into the yard, and led the crowd to the mulberry garden. Ke Hanchun stood anxiously at the gate to watch them go away, but she was pregnant, and her grandmother and mother would not let her go. she goes.

When they came to the mulberry garden, they saw Ke Meizhi's mother and daughter watering the two rows of mulberry fields.

"Brother, take a quick look, do these two ridges belong to our family?" Ke Jiang asked Ke Shuisheng to measure them.

Before the family was separated, Ke Shuisheng took care of these mulberry gardens alone, so Ke Shuisheng knew how much the land was.

"What is your family's? You see that the ridges are well made, why is it your family's?" Mei Zhiniang shouted.

Ke Shuisheng ignored her and started to measure from the other end with strides.

As soon as Ke Shuisheng walked away from the entire field, Ke Zhong asked hurriedly, "How is the child's father?"

"It's true that two ridges are missing!" Ke Shuisheng's face darkened.

"What does it matter to us that your family lacks two ridges of land?" Mei Zhiniang shouted confidently, she had thought for a long time before she came up with this good way to occupy their family's land, how could she be so easily scared by them.

Ke Shuisheng came to Meiniang's mother and daughter, glanced at it and knew it was the new Tiankan, and asked in a deep voice: "Meizhiniang, you are all from the village, don't you feel ashamed for doing this?"

"Ke Shuisheng, you mean to falsely accuse me of taking your land, don't you? What evidence do you have that I took your land?" Mei Zhiniang shouted at Ke Shuisheng.

"I've already measured it just now. Our family is short of two ridges of land. If you don't return the two ridges of land, I have no choice but to invite the village chief and patriarch to come over." Ke Shuisheng didn't want to quarrel with Mei Zhiniang, But this land is the lifeblood of the peasants, and nothing less will do.

"Ke Shuisheng, can you guarantee that you didn't make a mistake in the measurement?" Mei Zhiniang asked with staring eyes, if the village head and the cluster head handle this matter, wouldn't it be game over?
"Of course there is nothing wrong, otherwise you should measure it!" Ke Shuisheng said sullenly, he has measured his land countless times, and he has never made a mistake.

"Okay, then I'll measure it for you to see how much land your family has?" Mei Zhiniang walked over from the other side of the ridge and asked, "How much mulberry land does your family have?"

"Two acres!"

"Hmph, you all have to keep your eyes open!" Mei Zhiniang walked in the mulberry garden of Ke Shuisheng's house as she said that.

As soon as she saw her go, Ke Hanxue understood it, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips, how dare she show her embarrassment with such a pediatric trick!
When Ke Shuisheng and the others saw Meiniang leaving, they started counting, and when she finished walking, there were two more steps, and they all opened their mouths in surprise.

"Did you see, your family's land is not only not short, but also more." Meizhi Niang said with a proud smile.

"How is it possible? I measured it just now, and two ridges of land are missing." Ke Shuisheng wondered.

At this time, Ke Hanxue coldly glanced at Ke Meizhi's mother and daughter, and said to her father: "Father, let's not get entangled, isn't there a tape measure in the ancestral hall? Just ask the village chief to get the tape measure out."

"Ke Hanxue, you are so brave, you dare to ask for a tape measure!" Ke Meizhi reprimanded Ke Hanxue immediately after hearing what Ke Hanxue said.

Ke Hanxue sneered and said, "Can I understand your anxiety as a guilty conscience?"

The tape measure enshrined in the ancestral hall of Shuihe Village is used to warn the descendants of Shuihe Village to be honest and not greedy. The villagers of Shuihe Village have always abided by the ancestral precepts, and there has never been a fight for land. , so the village chief has never invited out this ruler for so many years.

Everyone knows that once this ruler is invited out, someone will definitely be punished.

"You are talking nonsense. You are the ones who should be guilty. You obviously have a lot of land. If the village chief asks the tape measure, you will suffer!" Ke Meizhi threatened with a lack of confidence.

However, Ke Hanxue was also frightened. She smiled and said, "Okay, I want to see who will suffer."

"Shuisheng, are you sure you didn't make a mistake in the measurement?" Ke Mengshi asked worriedly, asking for a tape measure is no small matter.

"Mom, I'm sure I didn't make a mistake in the measurement." Ke Shuisheng replied.

"Even if you didn't make a mistake in the measurement, you are so sure that we occupied your land, so it is impossible for others to occupy it? The other end of yours belongs to Tiger Head's family, maybe they occupied it!" Mei Zhiniang heard. They were really guilty of asking for a tape measure, but the land was already occupied, so how could they return it?

"They can't manage their own land, so how could they occupy my land?" Ke Shuisheng said with a straight face, he was sure that his own land was short, and it must have been taken by Mei Zhiniang.

At this time, the villagers in the surrounding mulberry garden heard the noise here, and they all came over.

"Brother Shuisheng, Mei Zhiniang, what's the matter?" the villagers asked curiously.

When Meizhiniang saw someone coming, she patted her chest and cried, "Look quickly, Ke Shuisheng's family is black-hearted. They saw that my husband was not here, so they wanted to bully our mothers and try to occupy us. It's the land!"

Hearing that Meizhiniang's villain filed a complaint first, Ke Shuisheng and the others almost gasped for breath.

"Mei Zhi Niang, don't talk nonsense there, you are the one who took our land!" Ke Jiang said angrily to Mei Zhi Niang.

"It's really unreasonable, everyone, take a look, this family has taken over our land and is still yelling at us here, is it going to let us live~~" Mei Zhiniang turned to the villagers who came to watch Crying and yelling.

"Meizhiniang, did you make a mistake, Brother Shuisheng's family is not this kind of people." A villager persuaded.
