Chapter 229 Li Dafu Remembers to Eat but Not to Be Punished

"Uncle, don't send me off. We're connected on the phone now. If you have anything, just call me. I'll bring Pei Yu back to see you when I'm free."

Li Meng, escorted by her fellow villagers, was at the station preparing to board the train back to the city.

In recent years, the folks in Huanglong Village have had enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, and many of them have held important positions in the factory. The villagers all know that all the credit for this is brought by Li Meng, the educated youth.

Now that Li Zhiqing is going back to the city to get married, everyone has come out to see off the noble man from their village.

"Girl, give me a call when you get over there. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything here." Captain Huang advised with some reluctance.

"Okay, keep in touch. Everyone, go back now. Don't send me off."

Li Meng waved to the villagers of Huanglong Village with a smile as beautiful as a flower, and boarded the train back to the city.

She had arranged everything for the village processing plant, including what needed to be said and what needed to be done. She also had young and promising villagers take care of the subsequent development. With Captain Huang and the skinny Qiu Xiaobao at the helm, she felt very relieved.

Pei Yu had arranged everything. He brought his uncle and grandfather back to his second uncle's house. This time they were going to hold a banquet. After the banquet was over, she would follow him into the army.

Sitting on the train, looking at the scenery passing by outside the window, Li Meng had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

It feels quite novel to live in a world of just two people in the future and I am really looking forward to it.

"Li Dafu, Li Dafu, do you know? Your relative has come to your second brother's house and brought a lot of expensive gifts. Damn it, go and take a look!"

Wang Xia heard the gossiping old neighbor lady say that at the entrance of the alley, so she ran back and told Li Dafu.

"What?" Upon hearing the news, Li Dafu stood up from his chair in shock.

In the past few years, this damn girl has not allowed him to gain any benefit at all. He has been blocked by this damn girl time and time again. Now she simply doesn't take him seriously. All the benefits have been taken away by my second brother's family.

It's time to have a wedding banquet, but his in-laws probably don't even know he exists.

"Let's go and take a look."

Li Dafu stood up and took Wang Xia angrily to his second brother's house.

Uncle Li's house was bustling with activity. Pei Yu came with his grandfather, uncle, aunt, and little cousin.

The whole family was greeting each other warmly and the atmosphere was very lively.

The door was knocked by Li Dafu and his wife.

"Wow! It's quite lively! Who are these people? We have distinguished guests at home!"

Li Dafu's eyes rolled around as he looked at the group of well-dressed people in front of him. He spotted Pei Yu with his sharp eyes, after all, they had met each other several times before in Huanglong Village.

"Isn't this Pei? I just want to ask you, are you marrying my daughter or my second brother's daughter? Why do you keep going to my second brother's house?"

"If I'm not mistaken, my second brother's family only has two boys, but no girls!"

Li Dafu came uninvited and acted like a big boss. He sat directly on a chair in the living room, crossed his legs and swung leisurely.

"Boss, what are you doing? Stop messing around. This is what Mengmeng agreed on before. Why are you messing around again?"

Grandma Li was no longer afraid of being laughed at by her in-laws, so she took out a big broom and tried to chase them away.

Mengmeng must have told Pei Yu about the situation at home, otherwise she wouldn't have only visited her second son's house and not her eldest son's.

"Mom! What are you talking about? I'm not making a fuss. I just want to ask you today. Isn't it right that I, as a father, should receive the betrothal money for my daughter's marriage?"

Li Dafu's words were extremely shameless.

"Brother, what are you talking about? Shut up and stop causing trouble for Meng Meng. What a mess." Uncle Li was fed up and told Li Dafu to shut up.

As the eldest brother, he is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything, making his in-laws a laughing stock.

Grandpa Song, Uncle Song, Aunt Song, and little cousin were all standing aside watching the show.

They already knew that Li Meng's father was a disloyal man. He didn't take care of his own daughter, and even took her job and gave it to his stepdaughter. He was worse than pigs and dogs.

After all, it is someone else's family affair, so they can't interfere and can only stand aside.

"Anyway, I won't waste my time talking to you. A dowry is necessary to marry off a daughter, and it is only natural for a father like me to receive this dowry."

"If you don't give it to me today, I won't leave. You can handle it yourselves!" Li Dafu started to act like a spoiled child, and Wang Xia also cheered on the side.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other. Pei Yu didn't dare to step forward, after all, he was still worried that Li Dafu was Li Meng's father.

"Old man Li! If you don't want to go, then I'll break your legs so that I can take good care of you until the end of your life. Don't worry, I'll send you off in less than three months, and then give you a grand funeral. I'll burn lots of paper money for you, and I'll also burn a few boys and girls to serve you."

"What do you think? How about we start now? Just bear with the pain!"

Li Meng put down the bag on her back, grabbed a wooden stick that she used to hold the door shut at night, and prepared to hit Li Dafu's legs.

This made Li Dafu sweat profusely. How could this rebellious girl come back so soon and hear what he said?

This is just a waste of time!

Wang Xia was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat and hurried over to support Li Dafu, whose legs had already gone limp.

"Sister Mengmeng, you're back! I missed you so much."

Song Tiantian rushed over and her eyes narrowed with laughter.

Li Meng also liked this little girl very much. In the past few years, she often sent her some novel little gadgets and had already bribed her.

So Song Tiantian was very happy when she saw her future sister-in-law.

Li Meng touched the little girl's head and asked her to stand aside while he went to deal with his cheap father first.

"Old man Li, it's been a long time since we last met. You've become even more powerful now!"

"Just tell me, do you want money or legs today?"

When others saw Li Meng coming back, they knew that Li Dafu was going to get into trouble.

He really only remembers the food and not the beating!

The final result was that Li Dafu chose his legs and ran away with Wang Xia in shame.

There was no room left at my second uncle's house, so a large group of people went out in a mighty procession.

The city has developed rapidly in recent years. Not to mention state-owned restaurants, many small restaurants have also opened around, and the food is very good.

Finally, Uncle Li chose a restaurant and the family went there.

Li Meng and Pei Yu walked hand in hand behind the crowd and smiled at each other.

Their actions were also seen by Song Tiantian and Li Wu, who were laughing.

After the whole family sat down, they began to discuss the wedding process.

Initially, it was planned to hold one here first, and then hold another one when Li Meng and Pei Yu returned to the army. It must be a lively one.
