At this time, Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai, who had already walked a long way on their bicycles, naturally had no idea that the scene of their loving departure had caused the two single men, Wu Runfa and He Liu, to quarrel and almost fight with each other.
Zhang Meng sat sideways in the back seat, her little face flushed. She shyly glanced at the place where her hand was placed, and the smile on the corner of her mouth grew even higher.
You know what, although this man looks thin, he has firm flesh on his body, and his waist gives people an invisible sense of security when you touch it.
Gu Mingtai, who was riding a bicycle, also had a smile on his face. After riding a short distance, he would look down at the pair of small hands holding his waist. When he was walking, he would ride his bicycle on the bumpy and pothole-ridden road. Every time the bicycle bumped, he would feel the pair of small hands on his waist holding him tightly.
Gu Mingtai felt so sweet in his heart, more satisfied than eating honey. He really hoped that this road would never go far and that this road would always be so bumpy.
However, fate did not seem to go as he wished. After riding bicycles for half an hour, the appearance of Zhangjia Village soon came into the eyes of the young couple.
As soon as the new bicycle entered the village, it caught the attention of the villagers who were returning home from work. They stopped the couple in the middle of the road and gathered in front of the bicycle in Gu Mingtai's hands to look at it curiously. When the two of them entered the house, they were followed by a large group of people.
Grandma Zhang, who had been at home, was shocked to see so many people suddenly rushing into her house.
Before she could ask, she saw the brand new bicycle that Gu Mingtai was holding.
"Did we buy this at home?" Grandma Zhang touched it in surprise and joy.
"It's ours, grandma. Gu Mingtai bought it for us." Zhang Meng blushed and walked up to Grandma Zhang with a happy look on her face, speaking in a low voice.
Grandma Zhang immediately looked at her grandson-in-law Gu Mingtai with satisfaction, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.
"Oh, this brand of bicycle seems to be very expensive! How much does it cost?" Zhang Xiaohu's wife came at some point and touched the brand new bicycle with her dirty and peeling hands.
Grandma Zhang coldly pushed away the offending hand and said, "Daughter-in-law Xiaohu, please don't dirty my granddaughter's dowry with your hands."
Zhang Xiaohu's wife was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said unhappily, "Aunt Zhang, what do you mean? How are my hands dirty? They are clean, okay?"
As soon as she took out her hands, she immediately attracted disgusted looks from the villagers who were watching.
"I don't know if it's dirty or not, but no one can touch my granddaughter's things. Haven't you heard that it's best not to touch a bride's things? Or did your parents not teach you these things when you got married?"
Zhang Xiaohu's wife's face was twisted with anger. When she first married here, her parents withheld the dowry Zhang Xiaohu gave her because she was a daughter, saying that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. When she married here, she only brought a change of clothes with her.
"Oh, don't you remember this? When Xiaohu's wife married into Xiaohu's family, she had nothing. How would she know these things?" Grandma San stood beside Grandma Zhang and said proudly.
"You..." Zhang Xiaohu's wife's face turned green with anger.
"That's right. I remember it too. That year, Xiaohu's wife seemed to have only brought one set of clothes with her. Xiaohu's mother scolded her for several days at that time."
"I remember that too." For a moment, many villagers stood in front of the Zhang family to denounce Zhang Xiaohu's wife.
Seeing that she had become the target of everyone's blame, Zhang Xiaohu's wife quickly ran out of the Zhang family.
When the villagers who were watching saw her running away, they all laughed out loud.
Zhang Meng, who was standing aside, listened to these people's laughter and laughed along.
"Thank you everyone. I bought some candy today. Please take some home for your children to try."
Zhang Meng took the bag handed to her by Gu Mingtai, took out a handful of candies from it, and gave two to each villager.
The villagers who got the candies all looked embarrassed.
"Hey, Xiao Meng, why are you being so polite? We didn't do anything. How can you be so polite?"
"Yeah, we just can't stand the look of Zhang Xiaohu's wife. It's not worth it." For a moment, all around were the villagers' embarrassing words.
Zhang Meng smiled at them and said, "Uncles and aunts, please accept these. They are just two candies, not worth much money."
The villagers were embarrassed. Some of them had children who had never eaten candy before, so they had to accept it out of embarrassment.
When the other villagers saw someone around them accepting it, they had no choice but to accept it too.
Night slowly approached. Grandma Zhang had already prepared dinner before they came back. Looking at the cold food on the table, Zhang Meng said to Grandma Zhang with a bit of self-blame, "Grandma, next time if Gu Mingtai and I don't come back so late, you and Xiaotao can just eat by yourselves and don't have to wait for us."
Grandma Zhang smiled and said, "Grandma is not hungry. Your brother ate the cakes at home early in the morning, so he is not hungry either. You will be fine later."
Zhang Meng felt a little sad when she saw her grandmother who loved her wholeheartedly.
Just then, the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open came from outside the yard.
"Grandma, Xiaomeng, you guys eat first. I'll go out and see who it is." Gu Mingtai put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and went out to check first.
Gu Mingtai walked out and just as he reached the yard, he saw the person coming in. His face immediately turned bad, "What are you doing here?"
Nie Junyou smiled and said, "I'm here to look for Comrade Zhang. I heard from my cousin that Comrade Zhang has that kind of ability. Coincidentally, someone in my family has been having that kind of thing lately, and they're worried about not being able to find someone with that ability. Unexpectedly, I'd run into him here. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Gu Mingtai snorted, turned around and walked in.
Nie Junyou, who was left there, touched his nose and followed in with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Who's here?" Zhang Meng asked curiously because she only saw him coming in at first.
As soon as she asked, her eyes locked on the man who followed him in.
"Comrade Zhang, we meet again." Nie Junyou, who came in, immediately greeted Zhang Meng who was looking at him.
Zhang Meng looked at him in surprise, and quickly shifted her gaze to Gu Mingtai who had already sat down.
"He said he needs your help with something." Gu Mingtai said.
"Yes, Comrade Zhang, I have something to talk to you about. I heard from my cousin that you are a famous fortune teller. Some strange things happened in my family, and I want to ask you for help." Nie Junyou walked forward shamelessly.
