After returning to the house and changing into simple clothes, Meng Qidi went to make lunch.
I originally thought that my words would make Uncle Ling angry and leave, but I didn't expect that he would actually stay for dinner.
As for what she didn't finish saying, she actually heard it from Ling Jinyue, who said that some people in the village used to say that Ling Fugui was actually the child of Ling Xiao's aunt.
One year younger than Ling Xiao's aunt's son...
Without going on with the gossip, Meng Qidi prepared the meal but did not eat in the house. She took the food back to her room and ate.
Ling Fugui glanced at the closed door and couldn't help but stretch his neck, "What's wrong with my niece-in-law? Are you feeling unwell? Why are you going back to your room to eat?"
Ling Xiao indifferently moved a chair to the side to block his view, "There are guests here, why would a woman sit at the table?"
As it was blocked from view, Ling Fugui was too embarrassed to look any further, and he scolded Ling Xiao in a serious manner.
"Ling Xiao, I'm not saying anything bad about you. What era is this? You are a soldier after all. How can you have such old-fashioned ideas? What's wrong with women? Women hold up half the sky! Hurry up and call your niece-in-law out to eat together."
Ling Xiao lowered his eyes and flashed a trace of displeasure, and said in a cold voice, "Thank you for your concern, uncle. Let's eat."
Having been around the town before, Ling Fugui, no matter how slow he was, could sense Ling Xiao's displeasure. He quickly turned his head to look at Wang Po.
"By the way, Third Sister-in-law, I wonder what to call my niece's wife."
"Her name is Xiao..."
Ling Xiao interrupted Wang Po and looked at Ling Fugui with sharp eyes.
"Just call me niece-in-law, uncle. Why do you want to meet my wife in private?"
Ling Fugui was somewhat afraid of his gaze and subconsciously avoided his sight. "Look at what Ling Xiao said. Uncle doesn't mean that. Isn't it because he feels uncomfortable calling me niece-in-law..."
Ling Xiao sneered, "We still have work to do in the afternoon. Uncle, go back to work after dinner. It's not easy to get a permanent job if you take too many absences."
Ling Fugui's face stiffened slightly, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his eyes.
Why be so proud? Sooner or later, his wife will become his.
After lunch, Ling Fugui was forced to leave under Ling Xiao's indifferent gaze.
Meng Qidi came out of the room only after Ling Fugui left.
"Gone?" Meng Qidi walked to the door and looked outside, but did not see the figure of Ling Fugui.
"Well, I won't let him come next time." When Ling Xiao thought of Ling Fugui's eyes, his eyes darkened and became calmer.
Ling Fugui is a man of filthy intentions. It seems that we cannot allow him to come to our house next time.
"How can we stop them from coming? We can't stop them. How about we lock the bridge?"
Ling Xiao's mouth twitched, and then he smiled, "I'm glad you don't blame us. Stay away from your uncle in the future. He's a bit dishonest."
"It's okay. I'm just afraid he won't dare to come again. As long as you don't blame me for scaring him then, that's fine."
Meng Qidi sneered. She had seen Ling Fugui look at her that way the most in her previous life. How could she not feel it?
I never let those people take advantage of me in my previous life, so how could I possibly suffer a loss in this life?
She was afraid that he wouldn't come, otherwise she would make him regret it for the rest of his life...
In the afternoon, Meng Qidi found some free time to prepare the bamboo stakes around the area. She even dug up a lot of bamboo roots and planted them.
She was also thinking that if the bamboo stakes rotted and the bamboo grew taller, she could trim it down to make a hedge. If she didn't want to bother with it, she could just let it grow.
After finishing the things, she washed her hands, and then the village loudspeaker announced that there would be a meeting in the grain field in half an hour.
Meng Qidi finished her work and wiped her hands, "I'll go with you."
Ling Xiao nodded.
When the two arrived at the threshing ground, there were not many people there and they were moving slowly.
"Are we here too early?" Meng Qidi bent down and asked in a low voice.
Ling Xiao said, "Our time is just right. They are all like this. The captain always says half an hour, but when they are all here, it takes an hour. You know, our village is famous for being a lazy village."
Meng Qidi chuckled. Who knew that this group of people were so lazy during the meeting? No wonder most of the land in the village was abandoned.
Otherwise, the Ling family would not have such a large piece of land in the west of the village, which was also taken away by these lazy people.
"You are the one who fought... comrade in the back hills that day, right?"
A male voice sounded, interrupting the conversation between Meng Qidi and the other person.
Meng Qidi looked up suspiciously, "Who are you?"
The man who was speaking in front of him had a handsome face and was neatly dressed. Although his leather shoes were a bit old, they were polished to a shine. You could tell at a glance that he was an educated youth.
"Hello, comrade, my name is Zhao Youwei." Comrade Zhao Youwei stretched out his hand with a happy face.
Before Meng Qidi raised her hand, Ling Xiao held his hand and said coldly, "It's not a pleasure to meet you. It turns out that Comrade Zhao is the one who almost killed my wife..."
Zhao Youwei was a little embarrassed and pulled his hand back awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that that day. I just wanted to remind this...sister-in-law, I didn't want to alarm the wild boar."
There was some disappointment in Zhao Youwei's eyes. He said that he had been looking for her in the village for several days but couldn't find her. He thought she was from the next village, but it turned out that she was already married.
"Thank you, but we have a meeting, so let's not talk anymore."
Meng Qidi nudged Ling Xiao gently, fearing that if she continued talking, the furious educated youth in front of her would reveal the fact that she had killed the wild boar and dragged it back.
Ling Xiao nodded, glanced at Zhao Youwei, and reminded softly, "Comrade Zhao, if you really feel sorry, please forget what happened a few days ago. You didn't know my wife before."
Zhao Youwei nodded quickly, "Don't worry about that, I don't remember anything."
If people knew that this woman dragged the wild boar back home, wouldn't they accuse her of misappropriating state assets?
Ling Xiao nodded at him before letting Meng Qidi push the baby away.
As the three of them were talking, many people came to the field. As soon as Ling Xiao and his wife left, an old educated youth came over and said, "What did you say to Ling Xiao? Aren't you afraid of being unlucky by him? His family is unlucky."
Zhao Youwei was slightly stunned. "You said he is from Ling Xiao's family in Xicun?"
Although he had only been in Xicun for less than two months, he had heard something about what happened in the Nishimura family. He did not believe in the superstition that it was a curse on others.
However, Ling Xiao is unlucky as he has encountered everything. However, he is the only man in the village who is a soldier. I heard that he holds a high rank in the army.
No wonder he didn't dare to meet Ling Xiao's eyes.
Thinking of the strong female comrade, Zhao Youwei sighed. Although Ling Xiao's legs were not good, he couldn't snatch his wife away. It was illegal to destroy a military marriage...
"Of course, didn't you notice that no one was around him?"
The old educated youth looked at Meng Qidi with some sympathy, "I don't know if this girl can live well..."
Zhao Youwei frowned, "Don't talk nonsense. If someone hears you, they will accuse you of being superstitious, and you won't be able to defend yourself then."
The old educated youth was slightly stunned, but when he thought about the current situation, he quickly shut up, talked to Zhao Youwei for a few words, and then left.
The educated youth and villagers came over one after another, and some even brought chairs over.
