Seeing that his neighbor Mrs. Wu was there, Meng Changfeng stopped and greeted her politely.
Several women responded with a smile, but Wu was still wondering, "Changfeng, you are carrying so many things so early in the morning, are you going to the Yao family?"
While speaking, he couldn't help but look back and forth at Meng Changfeng's hands.
Meng Changfeng nodded in acknowledgment.
He has already sent the betrothal gifts to the Yao family. It is only a matter of time before he marries Yao Simeng. It is only right and reasonable that he should visit with gifts during the New Year.
Seeing this, Wu Xiaoniang lowered her voice and said, "Auntie, let me ask you something. Are you really planning to marry the daughter of the Yao family?"
"Aunt, why do you say that?" Hearing this, Meng Changfeng frowned.
"Changfeng, you just came back from the army, there are some things you don't understand!"
Mother Wu looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she whispered, "The daughter of the Yao family stole collective property, broke into the house, and paralyzed her brother! Don't marry such a scourge!"
"Don't you like it? Changfeng, we aunts have all watched you grow up, how can we bear to watch you jump into the fire pit?" The other ladies also laughed.
The daughter of the Yao family had a bad reputation and was picky about who to marry. She looked down on the men in the team and directly targeted Meng Changfeng who had just returned from vacation.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that she has been eyeing Meng Changfeng's allowance for so many years!
For this money, I don't even care about my face.
But Meng Changfeng was still kept in the dark. Now that they finally met him, they had to explain everything to him.
The women meant well, but Meng Changfeng, who heard the news, was completely stunned.
Yao Simeng only said that she made a mistake unknowingly in the back mountain, but she did not mention that she also pried open the lock of someone else's door.
She deceived herself!
Making a mistake unknowingly and actively prying open a door lock are two different things!
Thinking about this, Meng Changfeng felt extremely complicated after parting with the girls.
I didn’t even know how to get to the educated youth point.
But by chance, just as he arrived, Yao Simeng came out of the yard.
Seeing him carrying something outside, she was surprised and delighted, "Brother Changfeng, are you here specifically to see me?"
"……Um."
Meng Changfeng came back to his senses, looking at the girl in front of him with a pure smile, it was really hard to connect her with what Wu Xiaoniang was talking about.
How could a little girl really be so two-faced?
Yao Simeng didn't know that Meng Changfeng already knew those things, so he stepped forward and pulled him aside, saying:
"It's so cold outside, don't stay here, let's go in quickly."
When they arrived at Yao's house, Yao Anguo and his wife saw that he was carrying a lot of things in his hands, and they also felt that this son-in-law was capable and polite.
I felt a lot worse because of the discomfort of his second marriage.
Thinking that the marriage was not finalized last time, Yao Anguo asked, "Changfeng, how long will your home visit leave be this time?"
Meng Changfeng said: "One month."
"It won't be long, so you and Simeng should find time to get married."
Yao Anguo had been a captain after all, so he knew some of the procedures. "When you return to the army, you can file a marriage application."
"Yes, a month goes by very quickly. It's easy to choose a good day during the Chinese New Year," agreed Yao's mother.
Yao Simeng didn't say anything, still thinking about increasing the bride price.
As a result, before she could figure out how to bring it up,
Meng Changfeng opened his mouth and said, "Uncle, aunt, let's not talk about marriage for now."
Hearing this, Yao Simeng raised his eyes in disbelief.
Yao Anguo's brows furrowed even deeper: "You've sent all the things, but you still don't want to talk about marriage?"
Meng Changfeng straightened his back and said, "I didn't ask you something before. I want to ask you this time."
As he said this, he looked at Yao Simeng.
Yao Simeng's heart skipped a beat, and he forced himself to stay calm and nodded, "Brother Changfeng, what do you want to ask?"
"You said before that you had nothing to hide from me. Did you lie to me?" Meng Changfeng had a complicated look in his eyes when he asked this question.
Hearing this, Yao Simeng's heart skipped a beat and he looked up subconsciously.
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
Does he know about that?
No, there is no evidence for that matter, otherwise Jiang Yuman would have exposed it long ago.
She was so obviously panicking, what was there that Meng Changfeng didn't understand?
He took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, Simeng, I can't accept you picking the lock...our marriage is still on the table."
When these words came out, it was like thunder coming out of nowhere!
Everyone in the Yao family stared.
"Brother Changfeng, you misunderstood."
Hearing the lock being picked, Yao Simeng quickly explained, "I had a reason for picking the lock. I thought the Fu family was hiding collective property."
"I was also confused, so I tried all kinds of treatments out of desperation."
"Oh, Changfeng," Mrs. Yao also said anxiously, "Besides, Simeng was confused at the time. She won't pick the lock of our house again. She has changed."
God knows how flustered Mrs. Yao was.
If this marriage fails, won't we have to return the things Meng Changfeng sent before?
The sound of the sound is so loud that it's going to dig into her heart!
But being impatient does more harm than good.
She thought she was helping to explain, but she didn't know how much harm this sentence caused to Yao Simeng.
My chest was choked with anger and my face turned red.
"Shut up." Yao Anguo's face turned pale at his daughter-in-law's words, and he quickly scolded her.
After a long while, he adjusted his expression and looked at Meng Changfeng, "Changfeng, there was a misunderstanding at that time, and now your marriage has been spread out."
"Oh, Changfeng, you can't ruin our Simeng's reputation!" Yao's mother also looked unhappy.
My own daughter, that young girl, is also pretty. Meng Changfeng is really out of his league!
He doesn't even think about whether he would be worthy if it weren't for these things.
Seeing that her parents were talking to her, Yao Simeng also laughed, "Everyone on the team knows about our marriage. If it's so vulgar, I will definitely not be able to get married."
This is said quite skillfully.
First he explained, and then he used the consequences of breaking off the engagement to gain sympathy.
Thinking about the consequences of breaking off the engagement for Yao Simeng, Meng Changfeng was speechless for a moment.
"Changfeng, don't be so impulsive when you speak. Simeng was thinking too much before. But I know my daughter, she has good intentions." Seeing that it was working, Yao Anguo struck while the iron was hot.
"I promise you, apart from this, she really hasn't done anything else. If there is anything else, you can cancel the engagement, and I won't say a word!"
Looking around, the Yao family is all seeking for themselves and making promises.
Meng Changfeng was in a state of confusion, and reluctantly said, "Let's not talk about marriage for now, let's wait and see."
Although his family had assured him, he was still worried and needed to think carefully about it.
"Okay, you can get married before you return to the army."
Seeing that he didn't want to cancel the engagement, the Yao family felt relieved.
However, both sides were in a rather reluctant mood, so Meng Changfeng left after sitting for a short while.
On the first day of the new year, this kind of thing happened at home.
Yao's mother sat in the main room, looking downcast, "A second marriage, and you're still bringing it up!"
"Mom, you are wrong."
Yao Ersao said: "Although your family is a second marriage, they are very rich! They can give you a ring. Let alone other things, you can even sell the watch..."
As soon as the words came out, Yao Ersao realized what she had said, and quickly shut up and looked at Yao Anguo and his wife.
But it was too late.
Yao Anguo narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean? Are you selling your watch?"
