Zhang Qiang wanted to say something, but Zhang Jingguo pulled him away.

The three returned home dejectedly. Du Cuimei said to her husband, "Jingguo, what are we going to do? That old man is really domineering."

Zhang Jingguo said irritably, "Isn't this all the trouble you caused? Why don't you... Sigh! Never mind, son, you guys should go!"

Lin Mengmeng looked at Zhang Qiang: "Are you leaving or not?"

Zhang Qiang hesitated for a moment: "Mom and Dad, what if they make things difficult for you if we leave? Especially Dad, your job..."

Zhang Jingguo waved his hand: "Don't worry! I can handle it. He wouldn't dare to mess with me. I haven't done anything wrong."

Du Cuimei also said, "You should leave! If you don't leave, the old man will send someone to tie you up!"

Zhang Qiang looked at Lin Mengmeng and said, "We'll sneak to the train station tonight. Dad, can you buy us tickets to Shanghai tonight so we can visit Mengmeng's parents?"

Zhang Jingguo nodded: "Okay! I'll go in a bit. Cuimei, you can make something for the kids at home and take it with you on the way."

The four of them agreed to this.

Lin Mengmeng had already packed everything.

Du Cuimei prepared some steamed buns for them.

She spent the afternoon making steamed buns at home, and she started crying while she was making them.

If it weren't for me, my son wouldn't have had to travel all night like this.

He didn't even stay home for one night before leaving.

She thought for a moment, went back to her room, took out three hundred yuan, and gave it to Lin Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, take this money. You're having a hard time there, but you can't let yourselves suffer."

"Whatever you want to eat, you two go and buy it. If you need more, just write to us!"

Lin Mengmeng nodded and took the money.

She knew that Du Cuimei had given her the money because she cared about her son.

Feeling embarrassed to give it to Zhang Qiang, I gave it to her instead.

Zhang Jingguo returned at five o'clock in the afternoon.

He had two train tickets for Hohhot departing at 10 p.m.

I ordered a few dishes to go from a state-run restaurant.

Du Cuimei also cooked two dishes at home.

After the meal, my son was about to leave.

She really couldn't bear to part with it.

The family had a reunion dinner like that, and who knows when the next one will be.

After Du Cuimei finished eating, she packed about twenty steamed buns for Zhang Qiang and the others.

Lin Mengmeng took out eight more, saying, "Auntie, it's hot today, and we can't leave them on the road. You'll need to eat them at home too, so we won't take that many."

The four of them waited at home until 8 p.m., with Zhang Jingguo glancing outside every now and then.

It wasn't until nine o'clock that no one moved around in the family compound.

The courtyard was quiet, and there was no sound of anyone speaking.

He said to his son, "Grab your things and let's go!"

He led Zhang Qiang and Lin Mengmeng outside.

Fortunately, the journey went smoothly.

Du Cuimei waited anxiously at home, fearing that her son had been caught by Old Master Liang.

Fortunately, an hour passed and there was no sound outside.

Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease!

She had already made up her mind. She would go to the Liang family tomorrow morning to apologize and say that her son didn't want to marry Liang Weiwei and had secretly run away in the middle of the night.

Anyway, my son is gone.

There's nothing he can do to the couple.

Zhang Jingguo led Zhang Qiang and Lin Mengmeng all the way to the train station.

I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Grandpa Liang probably didn't expect Zhang Qiang to dare to run away.

So no one was watching from outside.

They waited at the train station for a while, and then it was almost time.

After seeing the two people off, he rode his bicycle back home.

After Zhang Qiang and Lin Mengmeng got into the car, they looked at each other and smiled.

Lin Mengmeng glared at him: "It's all your fault for causing trouble and attracting unwanted romantic attention."

Zhang Qiang smiled.

“I didn’t provoke her. I know she likes me. I don’t even dare to talk to her at home, for fear of being misunderstood. I don’t like a spoiled young lady like her.”

His voice gradually lowered: "I still prefer the gentle and lovely Lin Mengmeng beside me!"

Lin Mengmeng hit him hard twice.

"Get lost! You made me run away in such a sorry state, you're really something!"

Zhang Qiang chuckled twice: "That's what makes it exciting."

"You go to sleep! I'll watch the luggage! I'll sleep during the day."

Luckily, Dad bought a sleeper berth, so he can get some sleep at night and won't have to suffer so much!

Lin Mengmeng closed her eyes and slept until dawn. The sounds in the carriage gradually increased.

She got up and sat down, gesturing for Zhang Qiang to rest.

Du Cuimei and Zhang Jingguo barely slept all night.

The two had agreed on a story: their son resisted marriage and ran away in the middle of the night.

The two got up, tidied up, ate breakfast, and everything was the same as usual.

However, after breakfast, neither of them went to work; instead, they went straight to the Liang family's house.

Du Cuimei rushed in and cried out, "Grandpa, something terrible has happened! My son has run away!"

Liang Weiwei paused in her eating: "Aunt Mei, what do you mean by 'ran away'?"

Du Cuimei held a piece of paper in her hand and handed it to Liang Weiwei: "Weiwei, Auntie is not lying to you, take a look at this."

Liang Weiwei took it and looked at it:

Mom and Dad, I've gone back to the countryside!

I don't like Liang Weiwei, so I can't marry her. Otherwise, I would be hurting two girls at the same time.

I've gone back to my hometown, please don't worry about me.

Two short sentences clearly explained everything.

Liang Weiwei's hand, gripping the note tightly, turned a bluish-white color from her slender, pale fingers.

Her tears fell again: "Aunt Mei, are you lying to me? I don't believe it. How could Brother Qiang run away? Didn't he not object yesterday?"
