Coming out of the captain's house.
"Are you really okay?" Ling Xiao asked worriedly.
"It's okay. I'm fine."
Meng Qidi lowered her head and counted a pile of banknotes. She just said this money casually. She didn't want it at first, but the captain said she didn't want it.
"That guy was the one who suffered at my hands. He was kicked down by me and must have fallen pretty hard. By the way, is Little Orange really okay?"
When Ling Jinming went down to find her before, she really tied her hands, and she did it in front of Zhang Qiang. Later, she directly slandered him, so it would be strange if she wasn't angry.
"I wasn't scared. When Jin Ming took me down from the cow's back, I hurriedly shouted that I wanted to save you."
Xiaochengzi was fine, and Meng Qidi was relieved.
It was already past noon when they returned home. Perhaps because they were frightened, Ling Cheng followed Meng Qidi closely as soon as she returned.
Meng Qidi already felt a little guilty towards the little girl, and she was busy with her.
Around two o'clock, the little girl was sure that her aunt was fine, so she stopped following her and instead kept talking to her uncle.
By the evening, the dishes for the next day's banquet were basically prepared, including the chopped ginger.
the next day.
Ling Xiao had a bad leg, so Ling Jinming was sent to Mengjia Lane to pick someone up. He and Ling Xiao had been to the Meng family several times, and everyone in the Meng family knew him.
After the guests left, the entrance of the Ling family became busy. Ling Jinyue led a few people to help borrow three tables and ten benches from the village.
Her family members had not arrived yet, so Meng Qidi was helping out in the kitchen.
Around ten o'clock, all the Meng family members arrived and the dishes prepared in the kitchen were almost done. Meng Qidi handed the kitchen over to a few people to help and went out.
"Xiao Qi, your house is well managed. I want to do the same when I see mine."
After walking around the Ling family's gate, Zhu Xiuhua greeted Meng Qidi as soon as she saw her coming out.
Who said the Ling family is poor? It's better to marry into the family than to live with the Ling family.
However, after seeing the fourth child’s new house, she also wanted to save money to build a house.
"It's well taken care of."
Sun Fang glanced around with her belly sticking out. "But, sister-in-law, that also requires that there is a bamboo forest behind our house. Is this bamboo forest at Xiaoqi's house yours?"
"Well, it's not public property." Meng Qidi held up the candies and grabbed a handful for each person. "If you like, you can cut one and take it back to use as a clothesline."
Old Mrs. Meng was amused. "Oh, kid, are you going to let us go back with a stick each? Someone who doesn't know would think that our family is fighting with others."
However, after hearing what Xiaoqi said, she really wanted it. There were not many bamboos in Mengjia Lane, and they were all public property.
A few women started chatting here, and over there, Meng Daqiang looked at his little daughter several times, his anxiety almost written on his face.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Ling Xiao asked.
"It's okay, I just want to ask Xiaoqi something." Meng Daqiang felt a little embarrassed when asked by his son-in-law.
"You've built a house, but you don't have money to decorate it?"
"No, don't get me wrong, I'm not here to ask you for money."
Meng Daqiang paused and quickly explained that this kid didn't know how to hold back. He sounded like a non-human...
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "It's okay. The money at home is with Xiao Qi. All I can do is to help you think of a solution."
Meng Daqiang quickly sat down and asked in a low voice, "Do you really have a way to get the money?"
Ling Xiao nodded gently, "It's not like I got any money, but there's a temporary job in town. Are you willing to go? But it's a bit difficult to get a permanent job."
"No need to become a regular employee, just be a temporary worker. By the way, where are you from?" Meng Daqiang asked hurriedly.
He just wants to make a transition, and he wants to continue selling lotus roots in the second half of the year.
"At the coal mine. Don't worry, you don't have to go down to the mine. Help drive the car. Xiaoqi said you can drive?"
"Yes, yes, yes. I can do that. Hehe, I, Meng Daqiang, dare say that I am the only one in the team who can drive."
“Can you repair the car?”
Meng Daqiang laughed and said, "Everyone who drives a car these days knows how to repair it. They can't fix major problems, but I can fix minor ones!"
"Then why don't you think of opening a repair shop in town? When there's nothing to do in Outang, you can do some work in town."
Meng Daqiang was stunned. "Will this work? We don't have that..."
It would be bad if the patrol team caught us and accused us of practicing capitalism.
"As long as Dad is open-minded, I will find a way to get you that spot."
Meng Daqiang hesitated, "How about I work as a temporary worker first?"
He didn't have much money to begin with, and it was definitely not enough to open a car repair shop.
"Okay, I'll say hello there, confirm the specific time, and call you to let you know."
"Okay, okay."
Meng Daqiang's face was full of smiles. He knew that it would be helpful to ask Xiaoqi and the others for help. Now, all his problems were solved.
Yuzhen is really blind. She doesn't want such a good man.
It’s also thanks to Ling Xiao that he doesn’t care about the past.
Until the meal, Meng Daqiang was smiling all the time, and even held up a glass of wine to toast everyone in the room.
"Did the fourth brother pick up money?" Old Man Meng asked suspiciously.
"Dad, look at what you said, it's like finding money. I'm happy. I hope Xiaoqi can live a better life."
Zhao Hong didn't like what she heard. "Oh, her life is better now, but what about our Yuzhen?"
Speaking of this, she was resentful. Her Yuzhen was still suffering in the city, and it was Meng Qidi who should have borne all this.
Old Mrs. Meng glanced at her coldly, somewhat displeased. Did she have to talk about this here?
Grandma Wang, who had just come out of the house to toast, paused and then said with a smile, "This is the mother-in-law, right? Xiaoqi and the others didn't tell you that Yuzhen brought her father-in-law over a few days ago and said that she wanted to exchange the bride."
At the girls' table, everyone was stunned. Zhao Hong's face turned alternately blue and red, and she looked a little embarrassed.
Grandma Wang didn’t seem to sense that the atmosphere was wrong. “The same goes for the child. Our Xiaoqi and the others have already obtained a marriage certificate. Is military marriage a joke? She thought she was just playing house. If she wants to change it, she can change it. In my opinion, mother-in-law shouldn’t spoil the child too much. She is older than Xiaoqi, so how can she be so ignorant…”
As if she just realized that she had said something wrong, Wang Po slapped her mouth and said, "Look at my mouth. It's a happy day. Why am I saying these things? Just keep eating, everyone!
Being interrupted by Wang Po, Old Mrs. Meng felt unhappy about her meal. She glared at Zhao Hong angrily, saying, "What's the matter with that?"
Meng Qidi lowered her head and smiled, thinking that the old lady must have done it on purpose.
After the banquet, everyone didn’t stay for too long. They walked around the Ling family’s house and then went back.
It was still Ling Jinming who sent the Ling family back.
Meng Qidi, Ling Jinyue and others were busy cleaning the table, putting together the unfinished dishes and asking those who came to help to take some back.
The people who helped left, and while washing dishes by the well, Wang Po lowered her voice.
"Don't worry, Xiaoqi, Mom is not partial. If Ling Xiao bullies you in the future, I will stand by you."
She also just realized how biased her mother-in-law was.
Meng Qidi paused while washing the dishes and nodded slightly, "Yeah."
After Ling Jinming came back, everyone warmed up the food and started eating.
