"I don't want it. You can keep your things yourself."
Huang Qingtian, who had a smile on his face, immediately became unhappy when he heard her refusal. "What do you mean, Zhang Meng? You don't want my things. Do you look down on me, Huang Daxian?"
It suddenly turned fierce. Zhang Meng was stunned for a moment, then quickly became confused. "What are you thinking? How dare I look down on you, Huang Daxian? I don't want your things because they are useless to me. Now I can only look at these things but not use them. I feel so anxious when I see them, don't you think?"
Huang Qingtian finally lowered his raised beard after hearing her explanation. "You're right, but I still want to give you these things. I'll give them to you when you can use them in the future."
Zhang Meng opened her mouth, but finally swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
The next day, Grandma Zhang found Huang Qingtian coming back and happily gave him a bowl of silk porridge.
Life at home has been much better recently, and we have more food stored at home.
Grandma Zhang thought of her in-laws who had once helped her and her two generations of grandparents and grandchildren.
"Let me go to my grandma's house!" While eating breakfast, Zhang Meng immediately received the task given to her by Grandma Zhang.
"Yes, when your parents passed away, thankfully your grandmother's family gave us three some food. Otherwise, we three wouldn't know what would become of us now!"
Zhang Meng ate porridge without saying a word, thinking about things in her previous life.
In her previous life, because she insisted on marrying the scumbag Li Hao, her grandmother's family said a lot of things in front of her that Li Hao was not a good person.
At that time, she loved Li Hao wholeheartedly and naturally could not bear to hear anyone say bad things about the man she liked, so after visiting her grandmother's house a few times, Zhang Meng never went to her grandmother's house again.
"Our family is doing much better now because of your ability. We have food stored at home, and we also have to take care of your grandmother's family. They have dozens of people in their family and rely on a few strong men to work. Even if they work hard to earn work points, the points they can earn are limited. We should help as much as we can, so that we won't be in vain for their help in the past."
Zhang Meng nodded and drank the remaining porridge in the bowl in one gulp. "Okay, I'll go. You prepare some food for me and I'll carry it over."
"I'm planning to ask you to bring 20 kilograms of grains and some sweet potatoes. Can you carry them all by yourself? Otherwise, I'll ask someone to help you carry them."
Zhang Meng waved her hand and said, "No, I can do it."
I don’t know what happened recently, but she seems to have gained a lot of strength, and it is no problem for her to lift 100 to 80 kilograms.
Grandma Zhang was skeptical, but she still prepared about 50 kilograms of food.
When she saw her granddaughter carrying these things out by herself, she stared at her back with her somewhat dull eyes without saying a word.
Zhang Meng's grandmother's house is two hills away from Zhangjia Village. If you walk, it will take at least an hour to get there.
Liujia Village. Zhang Meng's eyes welled up as she looked at her grandmother's house, which she hadn't visited in years. After entering the village, she quickened her pace and headed towards the Liu family's house.
Pushing open the fenced yard, Zhang Meng stood outside and called out, "Grandma, Grandpa, are you home?"
Looking at the somewhat deserted yard, Zhang Meng frowned. According to her previous memory, her grandmother's family was large, so it shouldn't be so deserted.
"Who is it?" Just as Zhang Meng was looking around the yard, an old man's voice floated out from inside.
After a while, Zhang Meng saw a hunched figure walking out from inside.
"Grandma, I'm Xiao Meng. I'm here to see you." Zhang Meng could tell at a glance that the person coming out was her own grandmother.
When Old Lady Liu came out, her eyes lit up immediately. She quickened her pace and walked to Zhang Meng, shaking her hand excitedly. "Meng'er, is this you Meng'er? How come you have time to come here?"
Zhang Meng looked at the hand holding hers, which was so skinny. "Grandma, why are you like this? Where are Grandpa and the others?"
Old Lady Liu lowered her head and sighed, "Your grandpa and his family went to the county town to pick up your uncle. They will be back soon."
"What are you carrying on your back?" Old Mrs. Liu asked, pointing at the bag on Zhang Meng's back.
"This is some food my grandma asked me to bring you."
Old Lady Liu immediately shouted, "Why are you giving it to us? Your family is in dire straits too. Just take it back later. We don't want it."
Zhang Meng smiled, "Grandma, our family is living a little better now. You don't have to worry about us having nothing to eat. If there wasn't enough food, my grandma wouldn't let me send you food, right? You can just accept it with confidence." As she spoke, Zhang Meng helped Old Lady Liu into the house.
As soon as she walked in, Zhang Meng's eyes moved. If she remembered correctly, her grandmother's family was not very wealthy, but they were not so poor.
The room that appeared in her eyes at this moment did not even have any useful furniture. It was empty, as if it had been robbed before.
"Grandma, what's going on?" Zhang Meng pointed at the empty house and looked at Grandma Liu.
As soon as Old Lady Liu saw the room, her eyes immediately welled up. "Don't mention it. Your uncle got addicted to gambling a while ago. I don't know what happened. At first, his luck was pretty good and he even won a little money, but then he kept losing. He refused to admit defeat and stubbornly borrowed money from underground banks to gamble. Now he owes people hundreds of yuan. He was besieged there a few days ago. Your grandfather and the others are here to redeem your uncle."
"How could my uncle be so confused? Is gambling a good thing? Why would he play that? Besides, if he gets caught, he'll be dead."
Zhang Meng still has a deep impression of this uncle.
In her previous life, this uncle was quite caring towards her. Whenever they met on the street, he would give her some money.
"I don't know what's wrong with him. Your uncle seems to have become a different person recently, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit. No matter how we talk to him, he just won't listen. If we talk too much, he will stare at us with scary eyes and tell us not to meddle in his affairs." Speaking of this youngest son, Old Lady Liu really looked worried.
Just then, the sound of a group of people coming in was heard outside.
"Your grandpa and the others are back." Old Mrs. Liu quickly wiped her tears and walked out.
Zhang Meng also followed him out.
In the yard, all four of Zhang's uncles were there, the youngest of whom was tied up with a rope.
"What's going on?" Old Mrs. Liu looked at her youngest son who was tied up like a twist, and looked at her sons and her husband with a distressed look on her face.
"Mom, my little brother wants to go gambling again as soon as he gets out. We have no choice but to tie him back." The person who answered was Zhang Meng's uncle, Zhang Xiangping.
