Meng Qidi prepared dinner under the guidance of Wang Po. Since Ling Jinming and Sunzi came back, Ling Xiao had to cook.
Peel and cut the bamboo shoots, then put them into a pot and cook them to remove the astringency.
"You know what, the fish in this stream tastes really good." Ling Jinming ate happily. It was indeed a feast for the eyes with his brother Xiao.
Ling Xiao paused while picking fish bones from Xiao Chengzi, a strange look flashed across his eyes, "Can fish that feed on spring water be the same? Haven't I heard that everyone likes to drink tea made from mountain spring water?"
Meng Qidi lowered her head to eat and tightened her hands holding the chopsticks. Was Ling Xiao helping her explain?
The taste of fish soaked in well water is naturally incomparable to that of ordinary fish. Ling Xiao can even estimate how many fish there are. I'm afraid he has also noticed something strange about the fish...
Taking a deep breath, Meng Qidi suppressed the vague uneasiness in her heart. It was okay. As long as Ling Xiao didn't ask or say anything, it was okay.
So what if he found out? The space is inside her body and he can't take it away at all. If she gets angry, she will hug him and go into the space with him and kill him!
Ling Jinming chuckled, "Hey, I'm a rough guy and I don't know how to drink tea. I heard that fish raised in spring water are very fresh."
Ling Jinyue looked at her brother with disdain, "You know you're a rude person, but you still don't shut up. Aren't you afraid of not having food if you do more work?"
It was the first time that Ling Jinming was scolded by his sister. He sighed and said, "Okay, I won't say anything nonsense..."
In Mengjia Lane, villagers who had just finished work came back one after another and chatted under the big tree at the entrance of the village.
Ge Mei, who came back from the town, could not hide the joy on her face. She took a special leave in the afternoon and went to the town to find that person.
The man suffered a loss at the hands of Meng Qidi last time and refused to go no matter what. It took her a long time to persuade him before he agreed to teach Meng Qidi a lesson.
How could she learn a lesson? She would feel relieved only after Meng Qidi left Songyuan Town.
When they walked under the big tree at the entrance of the village, the villagers were talking about it. Ge Mei stopped and frowned.
"Ge Mei! You are shameless!"
A sharp voice sounded, and the next second, the figure pounced towards Ge Mei. Ge Mei subconsciously dodged, but was still grabbed by the face...
She frowned in pain and looked at the person, only to find that it was Zhao Hong, "Auntie, why are you hitting me?"
"Why would I hit you? Don't you feel guilty about what you did? Our Yuzhen treats you as a friend, and you're hurting her like this!"
Zhao Hong's eyes were red and she was obviously very angry. If she hadn't been held back, she would have rushed over again.
"I don't understand what you are talking about!" Ge Mei pursed her lips, a hint of darkness flashed across her eyes. Did Meng Erliu tell that to others?
"Oh, Ge Zhiqing is really good at playing dumb. Many people saw you pouring water into Yuzhen's dowry. You two usually seem to have a good relationship, so why are you sisters fighting now?"
"Yes, that's right. They say that the educated youth in the city are not honest, and we poor peasants are trustworthy and not cunning."
"Didn't they say a few days ago that some educated youth from Team 5 were caught for speculation? None of these educated youths are law-abiding."
The villagers were chattering non-stop, and Ge Mei lowered her eyes with a sinister look on her face, "You're such a jerk, Meng Erliu!"
After a long while, Ge Mei raised his eyes and said coldly, "That's enough! I just want to ask you one thing, you said so much, do you have any evidence that I did it? If not, if you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for reporting you to the patrol team!"
Ge Mei's words shocked everyone. When the picket team was mentioned, the villagers who were originally angry instantly became depressed. Being taken away by the picket team was no different from being criticized...
Ge Mei glanced at everyone coldly, and when she didn't see Meng Erliu, she withdrew her gaze.
"Yuzhen and I are good friends. There is no reason for us to do such dirty things. I don't care who is talking nonsense behind your back. If I find out, I will see you in the patrol team!"
Zhao Hong took a long time to squeeze out a sentence, "If you haven't done it, will others stare at you?"
Ge Mei sneered, "Then your little daughter has a bad relationship with you. Is it because you abuse her? If you haven't done it, why would she have a bad relationship with you?"
Zhao Hong was speechless.
Ge Mei glanced at him coldly, turned around and walked towards the educated youth point, "You Meng Erliu, your good days are over, aren't they!"
As soon as Ge Mei left, Zhao Hong walked back and forth under the tree for a few times, and stopped when she was about to go to the captain's house to make a phone call. No, she had to wait until Yuzhen came back.
Zhao Hong did not go to the captain's house. Ge Mei went there in the evening and stayed there for more than ten minutes before coming out.
That night, there were rapid knocks on the door of Meng Erliu's house.
"Who is this? It's the middle of the night. Can't you let me sleep?"
Meng Erliu opened the door while yawning. The next second, several people rushed in and held down his arms. He woke up completely and struggled in panic.
"Brother, who are you? Did you catch the wrong person?"
"Meng Erliu?"
"Ah, yes, I am... No, no, I am not Meng Erliu, you have arrested the wrong person."
The flashlight shone on Meng Erliu's face.
"That's him, take him away."
Being dragged out by force, Meng Erliu was anxious, "No, brothers, you really arrested the wrong person, I didn't do anything!"
"I'm sorry, someone reported you for speculation. We checked with your team leader. You don't work at all, but someone saw you eating and drinking every day. Tell me, where does your money come from?"
Meng Erliu paused. Where did he get the money? Of course, he got it from Old Man Meng's family. But, he couldn't talk about this...
Meng Erliu was taken away quietly in the night. At the educated youth point, there was only a dark shadow at the window watching him leave.
It was getting light.
Meng Qidi got up and said something to Ling Xiao, asking him to take charge of breakfast, then went out to work.
Breakfast was ready. Ling Xiao asked Xiao Chengzi to deliver breakfast to Meng Qidi, and he and Wang Po began to prepare the necessary items and firewood for the banquet the next day.
