Chapter 2: I'll give you a trap

"His father, do you think this damn girl will change her mind and not give up her job? She will report for work in 3 days. What will we do if Xiaojuan changes her mind? If Xiaojuan goes to work, the family can relax a little bit."

"Don't worry, she's going to the countryside soon, what can she do? When she comes back, we'll coax her and let her take Xiaojuan to get the job done first," Li Meng heard the conversation between Li's father and Wang Xia as soon as she reached the door. It was a nice thought.

With a bang, Li Meng kicked the door open, scaring Li Dafu and Wang Xia so much that they almost fell off their stools!

"You damned girl, you want to die? You didn't even knock on the door when you came back! You are so rebellious that you dare to kick the door!" Li Dafu said angrily.

"What should I be afraid of? You guys even dared to secretly sign me up to go to the countryside and took my subsidy money without saying a word. What else should I be afraid of?" Li Meng said loudly while standing at the door.

"Come in first, Mengmeng, come in first and we'll talk." Wang Xia saw the neighbors whispering and wanted to pull Li Meng in, so she reached out and pulled her.

Li Meng opened her hand and strode in, sitting on a stool and said, "It's not impossible to go to the countryside. I'm willing. Give me the subsidy and another 500 yuan. Otherwise, don't even think about Li Juan getting my job. I'm going to the countryside, you can't let me go empty-handed, right? I won't go anywhere without money. You guys can do whatever you want?"

Father Li yelled, "You are crazy about money, there is no 500 yuan at home. At most I can give you the subsidy first, and then give you 50 yuan. I really don't have the rest. I really can't take it out."

Li Meng sneered and snorted: "Last year you spent 600 yuan to buy a steel factory salary for your cheap son Li Gang. So what? You are not willing to spend 500 yuan for your precious daughter. If I sell this job, let alone 500 yuan, there will be people scrambling to buy it for 600 yuan. If you don't believe me, I will shout at the door now, and there will be many people who want it."

Wang Xia quickly stopped Li Meng who was standing up and about to go to the door and said, "Don't worry, Mengmeng, how about this? I'll give you three hundred, and then you can finish your work first. For the rest of the money, I'll send you twenty every month. Is that okay with you?"

"What the hell do you want? If you don't give me the money, you can forget about getting a job," Li Meng said, and then went into the small room where she lived before, packed all her clothes, books and documents into a cloth bag and went out. Then, she took the 200 yuan subsidy that Li's father had left on the table, slammed the door and left without paying any attention to Li's father's scolding.

Walking on the road, Li Meng first went to the state-owned restaurant and found Wang Xia's eldest son's girlfriend Zhao Xiaohua after entering the restaurant. She had met her several times before and had a good impression of her, but her eyesight was not good. How could she fall in love with Li Gang?

When the two met, Zhao Xiaohua was asked directly if she wanted to work in the textile factory. If yes, she should be offered a lower price.

After listening to Li Meng's explanation of the whole story, Zhao Xiaohua, who was a straightforward person, was furious. This damn old woman actually spent so much money to buy a job for her daughter. She was about to marry Li Gang and become their daughter-in-law, but instead of giving the job to her, she gave it to a daughter who was about to find a husband.

Although she had a job, it was just a temporary job washing dishes in the kitchen. Why would she work so hard washing dishes in the kitchen when she had the chance to work in a textile factory? It would be much better to be a clean textile factory worker.

Thinking of this, I asked Li Meng why she thought of telling her about this. Li Meng said simply, "I just think you are a good person, and I hate Li Juan and don't want her to take advantage of me."

"Besides, it would be great to use this money for your marriage. After all, Li Gang and you will provide for her in her old age. Your youngest son is too young to be relied upon now. If you empty your family fortune to give to Li Juan, you will have nothing after she gets married," Li Meng continued to add fuel to the fire.

Looking at Zhao Xiaohua's changing expression, he felt very proud and anxious. Now let you guys have fun and see who has the better skills!

Li Meng left the state-owned restaurant and came to the street. Since he was going to the countryside, he had to get some money on him first.

He turned around and came to a remote alley. He looked around and saw that there was no one around. He called Dandan with his mind and asked him to help him get some brown sugar, millet and red date noodles from the supermarket in the space. These things were suitable for this era and could easily arouse suspicion from others. He put them in a cloth bag and came to the hospital entrance.

She originally wanted to go to the black market, but thinking that it was a little late today and she was not prepared, she went to the hospital entrance to try her luck first. People going to the hospital must need these, and then she stood in the corner of the hospital entrance and observed the passers-by.

Seeing a woman walking in a hurry, she stepped forward to stop her, opened the bag to reveal the contents to the woman, and quickly closed it and asked, "Does she need anything? Don't you want a ticket?"

The elder sister looked around cautiously, pulled Li Meng over and said loudly, "Sister, you are here. Come with me to see your elder brother," and then she took Li Meng to the hospital.

After all, if you don't do business privately, you will be considered as profiteering, so you can only pretend to be a relative. When the two of them reached the corner, the elder sister asked Li Meng what the prices were. Brown sugar was 80 cents a bag, millet was 1 yuan, red dates were 80 cents, and noodles were 2 yuan, all in a pound.

When the elder sister heard that the price was quite fair and didn't even require a ticket, she asked you how much you had left. Her grandfather had had an operation and could only eat soft food, so she needed all these things. When Li Meng heard this, she knew that the elder sister's family was well-off, so she said that she didn't have much now, but if you want it, she would send it to you later. She could get as much as you want!

The elder sister also asked for ten kilograms, and then asked Li Meng to deliver it directly to the ward. After the two reached a deal, they separated. Li Meng went to a deserted place to continue the operation, put the goods in a large basket, covered it with a piece of floral cloth, and delivered it to the designated ward. With the 46 yuan she had just received, she came to the hospital gate and did a few more transactions in the same way. Finally, she was very satisfied with the stack of money. That’s it for today. She will go around the factory tomorrow and plan to go home!

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, doctor, doctor, help me," Li Meng was almost hit by a man running towards her covered in blood just as she reached the hospital corridor.

The doctor was also frightened when he saw it, so he quickly asked him to come in for treatment. The man covered in blood said that it was not him, the blood on his body was not from his, but from an old man who had just been in a car accident. He just had quick legs and ran to the hospital to find a doctor first, and the patient was still at the door.

When the doctors and nurses heard this, they rushed to the door and saw an old man lying on a wooden cart. There was a tall young man taking care of him. They sent the old man to the operating room and asked the family to pay.

The shorter young man, whose clothes were covered in blood, said, "We don't know where the family members are. We just met them on the road."

The tall and handsome man asked how much money was needed. The nurse said to pay 100 first. The tall and short man raised 60 together, but still needed 40. So he asked the bystanders if they could lend him some money to make up the total cost of the operation. He would pay it back to everyone when the old man's family members arrived.

When they heard that they needed to borrow money, the people around them dispersed immediately. After all, every family is in financial difficulty now and everyone is in the hospital. If they have money, they will only use it for their own family members. How can they lend it to others? After looking around and seeing that no one is willing to lend money, the tall and small one asked the nurse if she could treat the patient first and pay the rest when his family comes. The nurse said that there is a rule and there is nothing she can do about it.

Li Meng then stepped forward, took out the 40 yuan he had prepared, handed it to the shorter man and said, "Go pay the fee first, and we'll pay it back when the family members come."

"Hello, comrade. My name is Wang Song and his name is Pei Yu. We are workers at Gang Iron Factory," the short man introduced himself.

Li Meng was stunned for two seconds after taking a closer look. Why is this Pei Yu so much like the Korean Oppa named Su in her favorite TV series Sorry, I Love You? With his melancholy single eyelids and cold temperament, Li Meng was almost screaming like a groundhog in her heart after discovering this!

"Hello, my name is Li Meng," before I could finish my words, a man and a woman came running over and grabbed the nurse to ask if an old man in his seventies had just been brought in. The nurse said that they had brought him in.

The middle-aged man immediately grabbed Wang Song and said thank you. The couple was so shocked to hear that their old father had been in a car accident. They quickly grabbed the person who came to report the accident and asked him. He was told that he had been sent to the hospital. Then they rushed over.

After thanking them profusely, he returned the medical expenses to them and wanted to take them out for dinner and buy Wang Song a piece of clothing. The three of them declined, saying it was just a piece of cake. Wang Song said the clothes could be worn after washing, so there was no need for them. Seeing them refuse, he had no choice but to thank them again and again.

After saying goodbye to the couple, the three of them walked towards the hospital entrance. Li Meng unconsciously looked at Pei Yu a few more times. The more he looked, the more itchy he felt. No, calm down, you have to be calm. It would not be worth it if you scare the handsome guy away! When they reached the door, the two of them said goodbye to Li Meng and turned to leave.

"Brother Yu, this little girl is still looking at you? You are quite charming," Wang Song teased Pei Yu with a playful smile.

When they were in the hospital, the little girl's eyes would occasionally sweep over him. He had noticed it a long time ago. Except for the surprise she showed him at the beginning, her eyes were full of admiration. This little girl was quite interesting. Pei Yu smiled and said, "Let's go. If we don't leave now, the restaurant will be closed."

At this moment, a family war broke out in the Li family.
