Xiao Ling stopped drinking water and looked at her in confusion, "Zhang Meng, why are you asking me to stop?"
Zhang Meng smiled but didn't answer her. Instead, she used her other hand, the one that wasn't holding Xiao Zhuang, to pass the glass of water from Xiao Ling's hand to the middle-aged woman. "Auntie, I see you've been running around and are even more tired than us. You should drink this glass of water. We drank on the way and aren't too thirsty."
The middle-aged woman took a look at the water she brought over, her eyes changed, and she quickly forced a stiff smile on her face and said, "I don't need it. I'm the host, how can I take the water from you guests? Just drink it. If I want to drink, I have water here. I can make it myself. You can just drink it."
After saying that, the middle-aged woman returned the water that Zhang Meng had handed over.
Zhang Meng smiled and didn't touch the water she offered. "Really?"
Xiao Ling frowned, "Zhang Meng, what are you doing? The auntie was so kind as to give us drinks, why are you like this?"
Zhang Meng glanced sideways at the brainless Xiao Ling and sighed inwardly.
At this time, Youwu and Youhui realized something.
In their opinion, Comrade Zhang Meng did not seem like someone who would do such disrespectful things for no reason.
"It's nothing, drink if you want."
Anyway, she has reminded them of everything she should have, and if they still don't understand, that's their problem.
Xiao Ling curled her lips at her, then immediately picked up the bamboo tube that Zhang Meng had just snatched away, and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking it, he smacked his lips and said with a look of tasting, "Hey, this water seems to be quite delicious, a little sweet."
Zhang Meng smiled coldly and said nothing.
Youhui and Youwu had been observing Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai. Seeing that the two didn't even touch the two glasses of water, they became even more suspicious of the water.
The middle-aged woman saw that only one person drank the water she brought, while the others did not. She became anxious and said in a worried tone, "Everyone, don't just sit there like an idiot. Drink the water quickly. This water is from the mountain spring here. It's very sweet. I guarantee you won't regret it after drinking it."
Zhang Meng sneered at this time, "We will regret it if we drink it."
The middle-aged woman's expression changed, and she suddenly looked at Zhang Meng with a bit of sadness and said, "Comrade, I don't know how I offended you. Why do you keep questioning me?"
Zhang Meng suddenly stood up, holding Xiao Zhuang in one hand, looking down at him with a cold expression on her face. "Whether I'm questioning you or not, you know it yourself. Also, do you really want me to tell you the truth?"
When the woman heard this, her expression changed. She looked around erratically and said, "I don't know what you mean by these words, comrade. I don't know how I offended you, but please don't throw dirty water on me. I'm already in this state. What can I do to you?"
Zhang Meng was about to open her mouth when Xiao Ling's voice suddenly interrupted, "That's right, Zhang Meng, can you stop being so suspicious? The auntie was just kindly asking us to drink water. Why are you talking so harshly?" Xiao Ling looked at Zhang Meng with dissatisfaction.
Zhang Meng looked at her and shook her head.
At this moment, a regretful warning voice sounded, "Junior Sister, don't worry about this matter. Let Comrade Zhang Meng handle it. I believe she must have her own reasons for doing this."
When Xiao Ling heard what her senior brother said, her face turned anxious. She looked at You Hui with dissatisfaction and shouted, "Brother, why are you siding with her too? She's obviously wrong. She spoke so harshly to Auntie."
You Hui's expression turned extremely ugly at this time. He glared at her with gritted teeth and warned her coldly, "You don't want to listen to what Senior Brother says, do you? If you don't listen, don't call me Senior Brother anymore."
When Xiao Ling heard the threat, her face turned pale and she quickly shook her head and lowered it.
At this time, the middle-aged woman, with red eyes, grabbed Xiao Ling's arm and said with an aggrieved expression, "My kind lady, please stop talking. Don't make things difficult for your relatives because of me. I don't mind it."
When Xiao Ling heard this, she disliked Zhang Meng even more.
Zhang Meng didn't even glance at Xiao Ling's glare. Instead, she continued to watch the middle-aged woman acting in front of her. She clapped her hands a few times and said approvingly, "You acted really well. Auntie, who on earth are you? Not only can you act, but you also pretend to be so pitiful. You went to great lengths to crash into our car and make us bring you here. What on earth do you want to do?"
The middle-aged woman was about to open her mouth to argue, but was suddenly interrupted by Zhang Meng, "Oh, I see, you must be after those five jade beads on us! Am I right?"
When she mentioned the three words "jade beads", Youhui's face immediately became tense and he looked at the middle-aged woman with a defensive look.
These five jade beads were recovered by them at the cost of their lives. They were also the life-saving beads for the big man above, so he absolutely could not let any mistakes happen to them.
A hint of sinister intent suddenly flashed across the middle-aged woman's eyes, but she quickly concealed it, her face still showing that pitiful expression. "I don't know what you're talking about, comrade. I have no idea what the Jasper Beads you mentioned are. Can you please stop slandering me? Do you have to let me die in front of you before you believe what I said?"
Zhang Meng sneered, "Are you willing to die? You didn't get anything from us. Also, I have one more thing. You said your family is poor, but under this tattered and patched clothes you're wearing a brand new and expensive sweater. Am I mistaken?"
When the middle-aged woman heard this, she looked at her own arm with anxious and annoyed eyes. When she saw the exposed corner of the sweater, a gleam of annoyance flashed in her shrewd eyes.
Xiao Ling understood something at this time, and quickly ran to the middle-aged woman, lifted her arm, rolled up her coat, and immediately saw the sweater hidden under the middle-aged woman's tattered clothes. Her eyes widened.
