Huo Junshan knew what she wanted to ask, so before she could speak, he said, "It will be a few more days before my older brother and the others come back. Learning to drive won't be that fast."
Huo Changgen chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, it's a good job. None of you can hold them back."
Meng Zhenzhen missed the time for distributing grain, so she had to go to the brigade headquarters to collect her own.
It was called receiving grain, but it was really no different from buying grain.
She arrived last and didn't work for many days, so she didn't earn many work points and could only buy things.
Her family wouldn't give her any money. The money she had was given to her by Director Liu; it wasn't much, but it was enough for her to get through the winter here.
Fortunately, she didn't have any money with her that day, otherwise she really wouldn't know what to do.
She went to the brigade headquarters alone, only to find Huo Junshan there as well.
His expression immediately changed, and he smiled, saying, "Huo Junshan, what are you doing here? Did you know I came to collect my rations and deliberately wait for me here?"
Huo Junshan's expression was indifferent, and he didn't even look up. He was writing something in his hand: "The captain will be here soon. Wait a moment."
Meng Zhenzhen felt that he was deliberately waiting for her here. Saying that he didn't like her was more than just talking; his actions spoke louder than his words.
After finishing his work, Huo Junshan got up to leave.
Meng Zhenzhen never expected that he wouldn't even talk to her.
Huo Junshan left the brigade headquarters and ran into the brigade leader: "Don't call me here again, it's annoying."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Hey!
That kid!
What's wrong?
Why do you look so sour?
The captain went inside with his pipe and was taken aback when he saw Meng Zhenzhen: "What are you doing here?"
No wonder the third brother looked so grim; this Meng Zhenzhen is really troublesome.
Meng Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Captain, I've come to collect my grain. Don't I have some work points? Also, I'd like to buy some grain."
The brigade leader nodded: "The brigade can't sell many; we still need to save seeds! We can only sell you 50 jin at most."
After buying the grain, Meng Zhenzhen carried it back to the educated youth settlement.
After putting away the grain, she headed towards Old Ma's house, intending to find Song Pandi to think of a way to deal with Yun Ningyan.
When Song Pandi came out of the house, Meng Zhenzhen exclaimed in surprise, "You've been doing well lately! You look like you've gained a lot of weight. Are you pregnant?"
Song Pandi nodded: "I'm almost two months pregnant. Is there something you need?"
"What tricks do you have to deal with Yun Ningyan? I hate her to death! She's our common enemy, don't forget that."
Song Pandi shook her head: "I just want to give birth to the child now. I don't want to cause her any more trouble. We'll talk about it after the baby is born."
Meng Zhenzhen sneered: "You want to have a child with someone like Ma Lao Er? What makes you think they'll raise your child? Foolish!"
But Song Pandi is now pinning all her hopes on this child, and she couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she had no choice but to leave.
She still couldn't let Yun Ningyan have an easy time. No matter what method she used, she had to find some trouble for Yun Ningyan.
Yun Ningyan caused her to lose such a powerful backer as Director Liu. How could she let her off the hook if Yun Ningyan didn't give her some compensation?
With that thought in mind, she turned her head and went straight to the Huo family.
Instead of going directly to Yun Ningyan, she went to the Huo family and made a scene first; perhaps Huo's parents would soften their stance.
“Auntie, Uncle Huo, I’ve come here today to talk about your good daughter-in-law. She’s driven me to desperation. I have no money left. How am I supposed to live? Your daughter-in-law is too cruel.”
She started shouting as soon as she entered the Huo family's courtyard, and sat down on a chair to cry.
She originally wanted to sit on the ground, but the Huo family's ground was too dirty, covered in mud, so she decided to sit on a chair instead.
Li Xiangyun came out of the house upon hearing the crying, and the Huo family members were all called out by the sound of crying.
Li Xiangyun came out with a cold face: "Who are you? If you have something to say, say it. If you keep crying like this, get out!"
Meng Zhenzhen...
Li Xiangyun's voice was even louder than hers, and she immediately stopped crying.
"Auntie, your daughter-in-law has ruined me so much! I can't go on living like this, that's why I came to you."
"I can't go on living. I don't have a single penny left. Yun Ningyan is so cruel."
"We were supposed to be getting married, why is she doing this to me? I don't want to live anymore!"
As she spoke, she slammed her head against the wall.
Fortunately, Wang Cuihong stopped them.
Li Xiangyun waved her hand dismissively: "You'd better think about going somewhere far away so you don't die in our house! It's bad luck!"
Meng Zhenzhen!
It's not what she expected.
Shouldn't she be telling herself she can't die?
Who the hell are these people?
Wang Cuihong had already taken the child to find Yun Ningyan and Huo Junshan. Yun Ningyan couldn't hide from such a big matter.
When Meng Zhenzhen realized that no one was buying her act, she covered her face and started crying, going from faking it to actually crying.
She came here to find Huo Junshan, but failed. She tried to find someone to rely on, but Yun Ningyan ruined that person.
Yun Ningyan won't leave unless she loses money this time.
She cried her heart out, tears streaming down her face, but Li Xiangyun was very annoyed, as everyone thought the Huo family was easy to bully.
Huo Changgen spoke tremblingly, "Say what you have to say, stop crying."
Li Xiangyun glared at him and said, "What do you know? Shut up!"
Huo Changgen awkwardly shut his mouth and stopped talking.
When Huo Junshan and Yun Ningyan arrived, Meng Zhenzhen was still crying; she was waiting for the two of them to come.
When Meng Zhenzhen saw the two approaching, she lunged at Yun Ningyan, but Huo Junshan's foot was faster than his mouth, kicking her aside.
Yun Ningyan stood next to Huo Junshan with one hand behind her back, while Huo Junshan remained vigilant.
"Meng Zhenzhen, what's wrong with you? What are you doing at our house? Tell me, how do you want to get what's coming to you this time?"
Yun Ningyan took out the stick behind her and tapped her left hand a few times.
Meng Zhenzhen!
Why isn't this going according to plan?
She saw the rage in Yun Ningyan's eyes and she burst out, "Yun Ningyan, why did you try to harm me? Was it your doing that Director Liu was arrested?"
"You've ruined my life so badly, you have to compensate me! You've turned my perfect wedding into a disaster, you have to pay me back!"
Yun Ningyan: I knew you weren't up to anything, but you think you can make her pay? No way!
She'd rather beat him up than pay him compensation.
She lowered her eyes to look at Song Pandi, a wicked smile playing on her lips: "Alright, how much money do you want?"
Meng Zhenzhen was secretly delighted that Yun Ningyan was so willing to pay compensation. A hint of suspicion arose in her heart, but money was the most important thing.
Seeing that her daughter-in-law was really planning to pay compensation, Li Xiangyun anxiously gave Huo Junshan a meaningful look:
Third brother, hurry up and try to persuade him!
Huo Junshan remained as steady as Mount Tai, completely unmoved.
Meng Zhenzhen held up one finger: "100 yuan! No, 500 yuan! You pay me 500 yuan, and I'll let bygones be bygones!"
Yun Ningyan narrowed her eyes and looked at her.
Meng Zhenzhen was overjoyed. Yun Ningyan had compensated her with five hundred yuan, so she wouldn't have to worry about money this winter.
