The Return of the General to the Field

Chapter 16 Request for Title Deed

In the early morning, Xia He got up early to make breakfast. As soon as Meng Wuchen stepped in after training, he saw that Xia He had almost put the food on the table.

"Why so early, weren't you tired last night?" Meng Wu teased, taking the bowl and chopsticks from Xia He's hand.When Xia He heard it, his face was filled with smoke, and he said in a hurry: "Husband, hurry up and clean up, and then come over to eat, you have to go to town today!" My husband hurriedly changed the subject as soon as he was shy, which was very attractive. Tight, Meng Wu curled his lips and replied: "Go now", after speaking, he took a sip of his husband's reddish face, put the bowl and chopsticks on the table, turned around and went to take a shower.

Meng Wu just went to the backyard to take a battle shower, it didn't take much time, and after a few minutes, he returned to the dining table, had a nice breakfast with his husband, and then Meng Wu went out, he went to the deputy ward first. The elder's family and the deputy head of the village will reconcile, and then they will go to town together in a bullock cart.

Mengjia Village was neither close nor far from the town. Meng Wu and the deputy village head arrived after half an hour's creaking ox cart.Since Meng Xinfu threw his nephew into the military camp and took possession of his brother's inheritance, he moved to the town, bought a house and a shop in the town, and lived a quite satisfactory life.Meng Xinfu has a master and two servants.There are also five children under his name, four brothers and one man.Because the youngest son was not easy to come by, Meng Xinfu's family loved him very much and spoiled him lawlessly.Because he was born late, this man named Meng Shuwen is only in his fourteenth year, and he chases chickens and dogs all day long, which is very annoying!

Meng Wu and the deputy head came suddenly, Meng Xinfu was not prepared at all, so he could only welcome the deputy head into the house with a smile on his face, and Meng Wu followed behind.After everyone was seated, Meng Xinfu's husband, Meng Mei, served tea for them and put down the saucer. Meng Mei sat down next to Meng Xinfu and said, "I don't know what's important for the chief to bring my eldest nephew here? I don't want to notify you in advance." , the slave family is not prepared, if you neglect it, don't blame it."

"Hey~ they're all from the folks in the village. If you don't blame them, don't blame them. I really have some important things to do here today, so I don't care about the etiquette." "Oh~ what's the matter? I'll trouble the head of the village to come in person. "Meng Xinfu asked uncertainly, he already had a hunch why Meng and Wu came here, but he still hoped that it would not be what he thought.

The deputy chief took a sip of tea from his teacup, put it down, and said slowly: "Brother Xinfu, don't pretend to be ignorant. Boy Wu has been in the army for ten years. It is understandable for you, as an uncle, to help him keep his parents' inheritance. , but now that Boy Wu is back, it should be returned to the original owner!"

"That being said, I have also worked hard to manage these industries for ten years. My nephew will take them away for nothing when he comes back, isn't it good!"

Meng Wu pouted in his heart, he really didn't want to give this so-called uncle any good looks. "Uncle, let me call you uncle. I was 14 years old back then. I was not a fool who didn't know anything. You know what you did, and everyone knows it well. Uncle, it's best to tell my father and Give me back the inheritance left by my father, otherwise I might go to the Yamen to seek justice."

"Hey, what did the eldest nephew say? Isn't that something you are forced to do? There is a male in each family. If you don't go, will your four-year-old brother go? Why won't your uncle be greedy for you? Yes, but you see that uncle has two older brothers in his family, one man needs to support him, and uncle doesn’t have any money-making crafts, and he relies on those fields for food. Can you sell those lands to uncle, but uncle? I don’t have much cash, so I can pay you with the grain produced every year, okay?”

"Uncle, I'm afraid it's more than the land property! Ten years ago, although I was young, I knew how much property my father left behind, not to mention the houses, furniture, and my father's jewelry. I'm afraid there are nearly 300 taels of silver in cash alone." , don’t cry about being poor, your house is very beautiful.”

"Uncle Wu, I am here today because I am afraid that you will not return the things to Wu. No matter how much you deceive yourself, the whole village knows what happened back then. The reason we came to discuss with you is because we care about whether you are Meng. Uncle Wu, if you insist on not giving it, I can only ask the old village chief to open the ancestral hall."

"Yes, of course, but, Wu boy! Uncle can't raise so much money for a while, can you give uncle some time?"

"Uncle, are you thinking about it? I want the land deeds of those fields, and I don't need you to raise money. As for the rest, you are my uncle anyway, and I allow you to pay it back slowly. Remember you sold my house and sold it. 50 taels, right! In addition to other things, I don’t want more from you, nephew, so you have to give 300 taels!”

"you!"

"Boy Wu, uncle, do you want to refuse?"

"How come, huh, how come. Amei brought the land deed to the eldest nephew!"

"Home!"

"go with!"

Meng Mei angrily went to get the title deed. "Here, big nephew can make it clear!"

"Of course, don't bother uncle."

"Brother Xinfu, Boy Wu and I won't bother you anymore. It's almost Chinese New Year and we are busy with family affairs."

"Go slowly! No delivery!" Meng Xinfu squeezed out these four words through gritted teeth.

Meng Wu and the deputy chief walked out of Meng Xinfu's house, and the deputy chief said to Meng Wu, "Boy Wu, except for the land property, don't come back today for the remaining 300 taels, because it will be difficult in the future!"

"Uncle Dequan, I didn't want to spend the 300 taels on him, just take it as my tribute to my uncle! Anyway, he also helped me keep my property for ten years, it must be a bit of hard work."

"You boy, hahahaha!"

"Uncle Dequan, it's hard for me to come to the town. Let me invite you to the restaurant as a thank you for supporting me today."

"This is what uncle should do, but since you have the heart, let's go! The Huadiao wine from Xiangmantang's house in the town is delicious!"
