Meng Qidi heard about the farce of the Meng family and went back to her parents' home with Ling Xiao the next day...
It was Meng Xiaopang who told the story in vivid detail.
Meng Qidi glanced at Meng Xiaofu who was sitting at the door of the old lady's house next door, and waved at her.
Meng Xiaofu looked at Ling Xiao timidly before she dared to come over.
While holding the little girl's hand, he secretly stuffed a ten-yuan note into her hand and lowered his voice.
"Remember to give it to grandma, saying it's your elementary school tuition, okay?"
Meng Xiaofu pursed her lips, clenched her hands tightly, nodded slightly, and the tears in her eyes fell to the ground.
Even many years later, she still remembered that her fifth sister was the one in the Meng family who treated her best.
Ling Xiao glanced at the two of them, ignoring their little movements, and instead helped block Meng Xiaopang's sight.
Meng Qidi sighed. She had originally wanted to ask her to come back to see her after she finished junior high school, but when she thought about how she wouldn't know where she would be by then, she decided to give up and talk about it later.
"Xiao Qi, Ling Xiao, please go into the house and eat."
Meng Daqiang's joyful voice came from the main room.
Upon learning that his son-in-law's leg was almost healed, Meng Daqiang's mood after being depressed for the whole day suddenly became high.
What's wrong with having a daughter? His daughter is top notch!
She might be poor now, but she will be a general's wife in the future! He had already asked people about it, and Ling Xiao's leg injury was a military achievement!
Now that my son-in-law's leg has healed, he will definitely return to the team. It will be easier for him to join the army in the future. As for the military rations, is that something that ordinary people can compare to?
Meng Qidi and the others didn't know about Meng Daqiang's little thoughts, but his happy look during the meal almost made them mistakenly believe that it was him who had healed his leg...
There were many happy events in the family. After a few drinks, Meng Daqiang became more talkative and kept talking to Ling Xiao.
"Ling Xiao, your leg is healed now, will you be back on the team soon?"
Ling Xiao's eyes were deep, and he nodded gently, "Well, I might return to the team in September, depending on how my leg recovers."
"Ling Xiao, as a father-in-law, I shouldn't have said that. Xiao Qi is a girl who is hard on the outside but soft on the inside. Don't mind her outspokenness. She doesn't have any bad intentions."
Ling Xiao paused while drinking and glanced at Meng Qidi who was eating beside him, "Yeah."
After getting a response from his son-in-law, Meng Daqiang started talking. "I heard that your leg injury was caused by performing a mission, right? If you return to the team, you will at least get a promotion, right?"
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't respond.
Meng Daqiang said to himself, "Our Xiaoqi is recognized by the village as a good-looking girl. She has also studied in high school. Apart from her bad temper, she should be a good match for you. Besides, she didn't dislike you when your leg was not good, right?"
The person who was talking was just drunken talk, but Zhao Hong beside him pricked up her ears to listen.
After listening for a long time, Ling Xiao finally understood. Was this cheap father-in-law afraid that he would abandon Meng Qidi after returning to the team?
Glancing at someone next to him, Ling Xiao nodded gently, "Dad, don't worry, as long as Xiaoqi is willing, I won't dislike her."
The premise is that she doesn't dislike him...
Meng Qidi twitched the corner of her mouth, put down her chopsticks and left the table.
After going out, she glanced at the lotus pond at the door and walked towards the water.
As soon as Meng Qidi went out, Zhao Hong took advantage of the two men not paying attention, quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and followed her out.
Ling Xiao glanced at the door and wanted to go out to take a look out of concern, but Meng Daqiang grabbed his hand.
I don't know what he remembered, but he cried loudly on Ling Xiao's sleeve...
At the door, Meng Qidi walked down the steps and squatted by the water.
She didn't have a strong sense of belonging to the Meng family. She originally thought that Meng Daqiang would ask Ling Xiao for benefits today, but she didn't expect that he was afraid that she would be abandoned by Ling Xiao...
Forget it, Meng Qidi sighed, put her hand into the water, and two drops of Yuquan water quietly merged into the water from between her fingers.
This is all she can do to help him, and as for the money, forget it.
"Xiao Qi."
Meng Qidi paused as she stirred the water, and a fierce look flashed across her lowered eyes.
"Xiao Qi, will Ling Xiao really be promoted after he returns to the team?" Zhao Hong didn't dare to get too close to her daughter and could only ask on the shore.
"Is there something?" Meng Qidi's voice was cold.
"Can Ling Xiao say a few words? Can you ask Ling Xiao to go to the police station and talk to your sister about that matter and get her released?"
If she were to say, Xiao Qi was really something. If Ling Xiao had the ability, why didn't she let Ling Xiao save her sister? She really raised an ungrateful person.
Meng Qidi sneered, slowly stood up, and gently shook off the water droplets on her hands.
"What did you say? You want me to save Meng Yuzhen? Do you think it's possible? Come to think of it, I would have forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned Meng Yuzhen.
Ms. Zhao, let me give you a friendly reminder. If you dare to come to me again next time, I will make sure that your good daughter will never come out again in her life..."
If there were paternity tests these days, she would really have to get one done.
There are people who favor boys over girls. Sun Fang is a typical example of such a person. Otherwise, she would not have sympathized with Meng Xiaofu.
But Zhao Hong is different. The difference between her and Meng Yuzhen is that Meng Yuzhen is her flesh and blood, while she feels like her mortal enemy and she wishes she could die.
Apart from the fact that he was not her biological child, she really couldn't think of anything else.
Zhao Hong was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she didn't dare to say anything more. She knew better than anyone that Meng Qidi would really do this!
After coming out of the Meng family, Ling Xiao turned around and asked worriedly, "Your mother...Ms. Zhao didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"
Meng Qidi sneered, "She doesn't have the ability to embarrass me. It's scary to be uneducated. She actually believed my dad's drunken words and thought you had the ability to release Meng Yuzhen."
Ling Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth. This was ambiguous. Did she mean that he didn't have the ability to get the person out?
Why did he feel that she looked down on him...
"This woman has a short memory. If you really have that ability, I will make sure Meng Yuzhen never comes out again."
Ling Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth. He said nothing and knew nothing. Well, he didn't have that ability.
After returning from Meng's house, the two continued to work on Ling Xiao's rehabilitation devices.
Ling Jinyue came again in the afternoon and discussed with Meng Qidi which things to sell first.
I left two umbrellas at home and gave the rest to her. I taught her how to sell them. Whether she could sell them depended on her luck.
Ling Jinyue went back excitedly carrying the snakeskin bag. Meng Qidi stared at her back in a daze. The Lazy Man Village also has its advantages. There is not much farm work to do.
Otherwise, how would they find the time to sell goods, study, or work...
I haven't been back for more than a month. It's already summer. The lotus leaves in the pond at the door are lush, and the lotus flowers have withered and the lotus pods are growing.
Meng Qidi picked a lot of them and peeled them under the tree, planning to cook porridge with them in the evening to cool down.
As night fell, the weather became a little hot and humid. The four of them sat at the door eating watermelon to keep cool, with the sounds of frogs croaking and insects chirping all around them.
Wang Jinhua's face was full of smiles. This kind of comfortable life now was something she had never dared to imagine in her lifetime. Maybe Xiaoqi brought her luck.
Meng Qidi suddenly stood up and went into the house. When she came out, she had a flashlight, a fish basket, and a fishing net in her hands...
Ling Xiao asked worriedly, "Where are you going?"
Meng Qidi winked at him and said, "Let's go catch some fish."
