"Did something happen to Jiang Zhiqing?" Pei Xiaohua asked anxiously.
She kept looking at her sister-in-law. Could something have happened to her family? Her brother was sleeping, so no one in her family should have been in trouble!
"Your father, Pei Erzhuang, arranged a marriage for his daughter Pei Xiaocao. I heard he's a fool. That family gave a lot of betrothal gifts and is here to pick her up. We almost got into a fight just now."
If Jin Yuanyuan hadn't pulled her back, she would have continued to pay attention to how things were developing.
"What? Xiaocao is only fifteen, is he crazy? And he even decided to call her a fool! He's going to push Xiaocao into the fire pit!"
Pei Xiaohua was about to rush out after she finished speaking. She felt a little sorry for her half-sister Pei Xiaocao. Xiaocao didn't have a good life at home and often didn't have enough to eat.
There were several times when she saw Xiaocao eating wild vegetables raw in the mountains. Who would eat freshly dug wild vegetables in the mountains unless they were extremely hungry?
Su Xue stopped Pei Xiaohua and said seriously, "Why are you going? Pei Xiaocao's affairs are decided by the elders. She is younger than you. If your father forces you to marry someone else, will you marry her or not?"
"Ah! My brother said he has the final say on my marriage."
Pei Xiaohua was a little confused. She was already living with her brother and sister-in-law. Her brother had previously said that neither her father nor her stepmother had any say in her marriage.
"Hmph! Your father is short of money now. If he secretly arranges a marriage for you, and that person comes to secretly take you away! By then, the matter will be settled, where can I and you find you?" Su Xue rolled her eyes. Her sister-in-law was too kind. People's hearts are so vicious!
She was going to be given away since she was born. She was raised up by Pei Dazhuang and Grandma Pei! Before that, she was even married to an old widower in exchange for a high bride price. How could such a father be a good person?
Chen Lan is certainly hateful! But Pei Erzhuang is not a good person either?
Some things cannot be accomplished by just whispering in someone's ear.
"Xiaohua, don't go over there! Nothing will happen with uncle and great grandfather here."
Gu Qingmeng also stepped forward to stop the man. Pei Erzhuang was anxious and didn't expect Pei Xiaohua to be there. It might be different if he saw the man.
After everyone's persuasion, Pei Xiaohua heard so much evil for the first time, and the seeds of prevention were planted in her heart.
Gu Qingmeng took the flour, eggs, sugar and lard that everyone brought and taught everyone how to bake cookies. Qi Zheng and Zhou Yu were responsible for lighting the bread oven.
As there were so many people around, the first batch of cookies came out of the oven in a short while. When Gu Qingmeng heard that Guan Yuanyuan was going to take the cookies to visit relatives, she put a few walnut slices on the peach cakes as decoration.
The pastries were also decorated with some sesame seeds, and she also took out flour to make some pastries and peach cakes.
I plan to send it to Aunt Shuqin and Grandma Pei later.
"Is this Comrade Gu Qingmeng's home? There's a letter for you."
The postman's voice came from the door. Gu Qingmeng wiped his hands, walked to the door and said, "Thank you for your hard work, come in and have some hot water!"
"Thank you! I brought a kettle with me, and there's still water in it! The post office also has your package, but it's too big for me to carry."
The postman smiled foolishly and scratched his head. There was no postman in their area who didn't know Gu Qingmeng. Not only did they receive a lot of letters and telegrams, but also a lot of parcels. Almost every month there was a parcel from her.
"Okay, I'll pick it up tomorrow. Thank you for telling me!"
Gu Qingmeng smiled and stuffed two pieces of peach cake into the postman's pocket. Her smile made the postman blush instantly, and he got on his bicycle and ran away.
Gu Qingmeng opened the letter. The envelope was very thick. Since it was military mail, she thought it was a letter from her two cousins. Unexpectedly, it was full of great unity. There was only a thin piece of letter paper with vigorous and powerful handwriting.
It was a letter from He Chunsheng. The money in the letter was the bonus she applied for. She had previously discovered a hidden cell in the basement and had arrested many people by following this line of investigation, so her bonus had been delayed for so long!
Most importantly, He Chunsheng said that the conversation she heard was indeed directed at Grandpa and Dad? The person who was about to take action before had been caught by him, and he suspected that someone else would come. He asked Gu Qingmeng to take care of Grandpa and the others while taking care of herself.
He will find a way to take grandpa and the others away.
Gu Qingmeng put the letter away and didn't let anyone see it, saying only that it was a letter from home.
When the last batch of pastries came out of the oven, Guan Beibei and the others said goodbye. It was not because they wanted to leave but because Pei Xinghe came.
Gu Qingmeng asked them to take back all the biscuits. After arguing for a long time, they were left with two large plates of biscuits and shortbread.
"Xiaohua, take these biscuits back and eat them." Gu Qingmeng put the biscuits and the kimchi she had pickled in a small basket. This basket was brought by Pei Xiaohua when she delivered lunch in the morning.
Su Xue said sarcastically: "Aiya! Xiaohua, let's go home. We are not here to love someone's eyes."
Gu Qingmeng was so angry that she wanted to hit someone. This guy clearly wanted to leave, but he still insisted on making trouble.
"Don't be angry anymore! Look what I brought?" Pei Xinghe couldn't help laughing.
The little girl was so cute when she was angry! He really wanted to pinch her face!
Gu Qingmeng saw that there were not only meat and ribs in the backpack, but also two shanks, and most importantly, two tubes of toothpaste. When did this person see that her toothpaste was almost gone?
"Let's go to my house for dinner tonight! We haven't eaten together since my third brother came home. I just bought some meat today and my mom wants to have dinner together. Guodong and the others can come too."
Pei Xinghe whispered, "I've also sent some meat to the cowshed. Great-grandfather moved there today! From now on, grandpa and the others won't have to stay in the cowshed at night."
"You...thank you!"
Gu Qingmeng's eyes instantly became moist, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her hands trembled and clenched into fists, as if she was trying to suppress the emotions surging in her heart.
Gu Qingmeng felt extremely warm in her heart that Pei Xinghe could do so much for her. No matter what happens in the future, this man must really love her at this moment.
"Why should we say thank you? Your family is my family. I'll come over to give you something in the evening. If you want to thank me, how about marrying me sooner?"
He was from Peijiagou, and even if someone saw him, he could say that he was going to visit his great-grandfather Pei Heixiong. The weather was getting colder, and he was reluctant to let the little girl run to the cowshed in the middle of the night.
The little girl started to lose weight ever since she arrived at Peijiagou. Now that he could finally take care of her with a legitimate reason, he naturally wanted to feed her and make her fatter.
Gu Qingmeng's face turned red when she was stared at by the man, and her eyes glanced at the man's lower body uncontrollably. Is this what she meant by being so anxious to get married?
"Ahem, cough, cough, stop looking. I'll look at you later."
Pei Xinghe spoke seriously, but in fact his body was extremely tense. He was afraid that Gu Qingmeng would see something he shouldn't see. It was a normal reaction for him, but he was not a hooligan or pervert.
Gu Qingmeng: “…”
