Zhao Hong smiled triumphantly, not noticing that her eldest daughter was in a low mood.
Why is Xiaoqi so proud? Yuzhen must have given her more than her.
The mother and daughter came downstairs, where Nie Hai was registering gifts. The moment Meng Yuzhen saw Nie Hai, she subconsciously shrank behind Zhao Hong, with a barely perceptible trace of fear in her eyes.
"In-laws." Zhao Hong came over enthusiastically.
Nie Hai nodded at her calmly, and lowered his head to check what Meng Qidi and her husband had sent. "Did Xiao Qidi and her husband send two pieces of cloth, a can of malted milk, and twenty yuan?"
"Yes." Meng Jianzhang nodded.
Zhao Hong was delighted. She must want to know how much Xiaoqi had given. If she could give more than them, it would make her proud.
Nie Hai nodded gently, "Okay, then I'll do the math and see how much it will cost in total."
Meng Jianzhang quickly lowered his head to calculate, and looked up after a minute, "The total is about fifty."
"Okay, then we'll give him fifty dollars." Nie Hai said without hesitation.
Zhao Hong was slightly stunned, and blurted out, "My dear relatives, how can you give as much as Xiaoqi?"
Nie Hai raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it the rule here that sisters give the same amount? What does my mother-in-law say about giving?"
Zhao Hong was stunned by his words. As the host, it would be inappropriate for her to say whether to give more or less...
Feeling a little embarrassed by being stared at by her in-laws, she took a step back and gently nudged her daughter.
Meng Yuzhen was knocked back and didn't say a word for a long time.
Zhao Hong didn't expect her daughter to fail at the critical moment. In the end, she could only laugh dryly and fled with Meng Yuzhen...
Nie Hai sighed. The more he looked at the mother and daughter, the worse they looked...
We are both raising daughters, but how come they are so different from each other...
Meng Jianzhang naturally felt embarrassed. "I'm sorry, dear relatives. Since our two daughters got married, some... "
Nie Hai waved his hands, "It's okay, women are all like that."
In the yard, guests gathered in groups of three or five, talking and chatting, and many of them wore beautiful bows on their heads and necks.
Meng Yuzhen came back to life after leaving Nie Hai. "Why are they all wearing scarves? We also have this in our family?"
Zhao Hong was still angry that she had just embarrassed herself by not speaking to her in the room.
"How is that possible? Are we such a spendthrift? Xiaoqi had quite a lot on her head before, but now she has none. I guess she was just giving them away out of generosity."
I thought the girl was reluctant to give, but she gave nearly fifty dollars. Now she is so extravagant and wasteful, and she won’t care if she can’t make a living in the future.
"Where did she get the scarf?"
Meng Yuzhen's eyes sank slightly. She suffered in the city, but she lived a free and easy life!
"Who knows? Your dad called the day before yesterday and seemed to say that Ling Xiao went to the city for a checkup. I guess he bought it in the city. Do you like it? Wait, I'll ask her for it for you!"
Having said that, Zhao Hong walked directly towards the people who were talking to Meng Qidi.
When Meng Yuzhen saw Nie Zheng approaching Meng Qidi, she followed him with a sullen face. She was afraid of Nie Hai, but not a fool!
Zhao Hong came over and pulled off the bow on Ling Cheng's head as she was talking excitedly.
The little girl was so shocked that she put her hands on her head and turned her head away, screaming, "What are you doing?!"
"Why does a wild girl wear it so beautifully?"
Zhao Hong rudely pulled the scarf away.
"Xiao Qi, I'm not saying anything to you as your mother, but the Ling family isn't rich, but we can't afford to waste it like this. Everyone gets a silk scarf, so why don't you give it to your mother and sister?"
Meng Qidi snatched the scarf and stuffed it into Ling Cheng's hand. "Ms. Zhao is right. The Ling family is not rich. How could I be extravagant? If you want it, bring money to buy it. It's not expensive, one dollar a piece."
"Are you crazy? This is robbery! You're giving it away to others, but your own family is still accepting money?"
Zhao Hong's voice was sharp, and she didn't notice when her little daughter stopped calling her mom...
Meng Qidi said calmly, "When did I give it to anyone? Everyone here bought it. Oh, the one on the breast was given by me. Isn't your eldest daughter from the city? You want her to buy it!"
Zhao Hong choked, feeling a little angry and embarrassed. She turned around and went back into the house to help.
Her mother suffered a loss, but Meng Yuzhen didn't care about her. When no one was paying attention, she grabbed Nie Zheng who was next to her and lowered her voice.
"What are you doing here? Didn't you say you were coming to our house to pick lotus flowers from the pond?"
Nie Zheng pulled back his sleeves and said unhappily, "Sister Xiaoqi won't let me go. She said that if the lotus flowers are picked, there will be no lotus roots left."
It’s Meng Qidi again!
Meng Yuzhen was upset. Why did she have so many things to do?
Not wanting to see Meng Qidi becoming so successful, Meng Yuzhen moved a stool out of the yard and sat at the door.
When Sun Fang finally caught Meng Yuzhen alone, she glanced at Meng Yuzhen at the door. She quickly turned around, pulled a few familiar women together, and whispered to them at the door.
She couldn't get any good from Meng Qidi, and the Nie family gave her gifts and followed suit, so it was hard for her to stand out. Now she couldn't even handle Nie Zheng...
The more Meng Yuzhen thought about it, the angrier she became, and she wished she could strangle Meng Qidi to death!
"Dafang, have you heard about what happened to your fourth child last time?"
There was a sudden sound at the door. Meng Yuzhen was startled and quickly pricked up her ears. Was there something happening at home that she didn't know about?
Sun Fang's voice came from the door, "Don't say it, it's all known to everyone, but let's not talk nonsense, the second-rate ones have been locked up."
"Second-rate is bad luck. How can you get anything good by being associated with that Ge guy?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. I don't even dare to mention her name."
Meng Yuzhen was stunned. Her surname was Ge? Sister Ge Mei? What happened between Sister Ge Mei and her family?
"I dare not mention that. He could have attacked his good sisters, so how could he have held back against that second-rate bastard? He was taken directly to the detention center."
"Speaking of which, Erliu said that he saw someone soak Yuzhen's dowry that night, and he also found out that it was the educated youth who instructed him to do it. Do you believe it?"
"That's hard to say." Sun Fang sighed. "Our Yuzhen is so stupid. I guess she won't believe us even if we tell her. There's an old saying that you can judge a person by his face but not his heart. That educated youth is very smart."
The people in the yard were still talking, and Meng Yuzhen fell down on the chair. She had thought of everyone who had thrown her dowry, but she had never thought it was Sister Ge Mei...
Thinking about her mother's hesitant questioning about her dowry, I'm afraid she also knows...
Taking a deep breath, Meng Yuzhen suddenly stood up and walked into the house. She had to get things clear!
Sun Fang, who was standing by the door, touched her belly and sneered as she watched Meng Yuzhen go looking for Zhao Hong. It would be best if this mother and daughter fought!
She didn’t like Xiaoqi at first, but now she thinks Xiaoqi is much cuter than them. At least she knows to wear a scarf for her.
In the kitchen, Zhao Hong, who was busy, saw her daughter looking for her, and quickly wiped her hands and stood up, "Yuzhen, what's wrong?"
Meng Yuzhen slapped her away and said, "Let me ask you, do you know who spilled my dowry?"
Zhao Hong was slightly stunned and said quickly, "Yuzhen, we may have..."
"I'm asking you, was it Ge Mei who hired someone to do this?!"
