Gu Qingmeng took a few steps forward and said, "Bigamy is illegal. Let's all go to the police station."
Gu Qingmeng's words were so firm that Chen Lan panicked. She quickly said, "I didn't commit bigamy. Wu Ergou and I didn't get a marriage certificate."
"You had a wedding and have two children, which is a de facto marriage. You remarried without his consent while he was in prison, which is bigamy." Gu Qingmeng said to Pei Xinghe, "Let's go! It's getting late and the mountain roads are difficult to travel. Come back tomorrow."
"Okay, I have a place to stay, don't worry."
Pei Xinghe spoke in a soft tone. He went to the county just to deal with the food in the house. He also felt that there was something fishy about this matter. Even if Chen Lan and Wu Ergou had made an appointment, they shouldn't have met on the mountain in Peijiagou.
But small people like them shouldn't be schemed against in such a big way!
No matter how Wu Ergou and Chen Lan struggled, Pei Xinghe had them gagged and put on a bullock cart and left. Pei Erzhuang, who tried to stop the cart, was also held down.
After watching them leave, Gu Qingmeng looked at Pei Erzhuang who was sitting on the side of the road crying with some curiosity. Did he really believe that Chen Lan was forced?
"Uncle, please go back earlier. Pei Weidong and Su Xue should be back soon. If Aunt is truly an innocent police officer, they will definitely release him."
Gu Qingmeng planned to persuade the person to leave first. There was no other reason, it was just because it was too embarrassing for people to sit on the side of the road and cry!
"Wow... I know you all don't believe Lanlan! Lanlan is a good woman. She didn't mean to treat Weidong and Xiaohua badly. She just loves me too much! She feels uncomfortable when she sees someone else giving birth to my child."
Pei Erzhuang felt that no one understood him and everyone misunderstood Chen Lan. Only he knew how good his wife was.
Gu Qingmeng: ???
How dare you say that!
One dares to speak, the other dares to believe.
"Second Uncle, do you really believe that Chen Lan was forced?"
Gu Qingmeng finally asked the question in her heart!
"What else? Your second aunt loves me, and we have a marriage certificate. How could she possibly go back to Wu Ergou? If she loved Wu Ergou, they wouldn't have to get a marriage certificate."
Pei Erzhuang was dissatisfied with Gu Qingmeng's question, but he didn't curse her because she was Pei Xinghe's future wife, otherwise that little bastard Pei Xinghe would come looking for him!
"Is it possible that Chen Lan and Wu Ergou were not old enough to get married? That's why they don't have a marriage certificate. Is Chen Lan good to Xiao Cao?"
Gu Qingmeng had seen Pei Xiaocao several times. The little girl was two years younger than Pei Xiaohua and should be fifteen years old, but she looked only twelve or thirteen years old. She was timid when she saw people and didn't seem to be treated well by anyone.
Most of the time the little girl was at work, and in her spare time she would go up the mountain to chop firewood. The firewood she carried was heavier than she was, and Pei Erzhuang never took care of her.
"Xiaocao...Xiaocao just likes to work. You don't understand how good Lanlan is to her. Only a diligent girl will have an easier time finding a husband in the future. You don't understand..."
Pei Erzhuang's voice became lower and lower as he spoke. Is Lanlan really good to Xiaocao? Xiaocao's life is worse than Xiaohua's foster life at her eldest brother's house. Is this really good?
No, how could he doubt Lanlan?
Gu Qingmeng looked at Pei Erzhuang who was beginning to doubt his life, and turned to leave. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would not be able to help but hit someone.
This Pei Erzhuang is pure love! I guess his head must be heart-shaped.
Gu Qingmeng was in no mood to rest when she returned home. She took out flour and eggs to make peach cakes. All the biscuits at home had been eaten up in the past few days, so she planned to make some more.
Guodong and Guoliang would bring food with them every day when they went up the mountain to chop firewood. Anyway, they had already made some dough and baked some pastries. Since Black Panther and the others had been at home these days, their food supplies had decreased.
Gu Qingmeng took out a few meat bones and cooked a full pot of broth for them in a big pot. Before serving, she did not forget to add some carrots and pumpkins. Black Panther likes to eat sweet vegetables.
The peach cakes and shortbread were baked. Before Gu Qingmeng had finished cleaning up the battlefield, she saw Guan Beibei, Jin Yuanyuan, Jiang Yifan, and Zhao Weiting appear at the door.
Gu Qingmeng learned from the gossip king Jiang Yifan that Pei Erzhuang was beaten by Pei Heixiong and now he can't get off the bed. His crying can be heard from far away from his house.
His two stepsons had run away, leaving Pei Xiaocao alone at home to take care of him.
"Mengmeng, your cooking skills are amazing. The cookies and shortbread are even better than those sold at the supply and marketing cooperative. I'll provide the ingredients, so why don't you help me make some? We can split the finished product in half."
After Jin Yuanyuan ate a peach pastry and a small shortbread, she felt embarrassed to eat more, but she was greedy! So she came up with the idea of asking Gu Qingmeng to help her make it.
As soon as she opened her mouth, she won the unanimous approval of several people, and they all wanted to provide materials for Gu Qingmeng to process!
Gu Qingmeng, who had invisibly added more work to her workload, had no choice but to ask them to bring the ingredients over on the weekend so that they could make it together. She had to go back to school tomorrow and had no time to make cookies.
Several people also knew this, so they were not in a hurry.
At night, in the cowshed, Gu Qingmeng took out the biscuits and shortbread she had made today, as well as two pounds of beef jerky, twenty or so salted duck eggs, and more than ten pounds of cornmeal, and asked her grandfather and the others to hide them and eat them slowly.
"My dear, we have food to eat, so you don't have to send us food all the time." His granddaughter's cooking skills are getting better and better, but Gu Huaian feels more and more distressed. Three months ago, his granddaughter couldn't cook anything? Now, not only can she cook delicious meals, but she can also figure out how to make pastries.
"My dear, are you short of money? Grandpa left some money in the house you brought as a dowry. Go back next year and dig it out. Don't do business on the black market."
Gu Qingmeng: "...Grandpa, you think too much. I made these cookies to chop firewood for Guodong and Guoliang, not to sell them for money."
Even if it is sold for money, Pei Xinghe will go, so she won’t go?
"That's good." Gu Huaian didn't say anything.
Gu Jun pulled Gu Qingmeng aside and took out two pieces of bark mysteriously: "My dear, this is for you. Daddy dug it up."
Gu Jun looked like he was asking people to praise him. Gu Qingmeng smiled and lifted the bark, only to find that it was a fresh ginseng. Is ginseng so prevalent nowadays?
