Meng Qidi was walking slowly back home. When she reached the town, a military jeep passed by quickly. She didn't pay much attention to it, avoided the car and walked towards Mengjia Lane.
When I got home, the sky had darkened and the temperature had dropped. Although it was already early March, it was still very cold.
I gently pushed the door open and walked in. The yard was quiet. A light was on in the main room and people were talking, chatting after dinner.
Glancing at the cold kitchen, I realized that I had missed dinner and no one had left any food for me...
Meng Qidi sneered and was about to go back to her room, but she stopped when she heard voices in the room.
"Old Four, I am not your sister-in-law and I am not the one who should worry about your Fourth House's affairs. If you ask me, if Xiao Qi doesn't want to marry that cripple, then she shouldn't marry him. Why force her?"
Sun Fang's voice came from the room, saying that she would speak for herself, but Meng Qidi didn't believe it.
However, she was curious about where this family got the information and knew that Ling Xiao had an injury to his leg?
You have to know that the grandparents and grandchildren of the Ling family don’t know about this until today. It seems that Meng Yuzhen was the first one to speak out and make a fuss. How did she know about it?
Could anyone have predicted the future?
"Sister-in-law, this is not her decision. Her face is ruined. If she doesn't marry into the Ling family, who else can she marry? Does she want me, her father, to support her for the rest of her life?"
Meng Daqiang said angrily that he didn't know where the dead girl had gone. After going crazy at noon, there has been no trace of her since then.
"Fourth brother, look at what you said. It's not like you have to marry into the Ling family. Isn't my nephew from my mother's side here too?" Sun Fang smiled while covering her mouth with her hands.
"You want Xiaoqi to marry the fool from your mother's family?" came the old lady's unhappy voice.
Meng Qidi at the door lowered her eyes and sneered, speaking as if the family in the county town were not fools. Others might not know the situation of the family in the county town, but the old lady could not possibly not know.
She remembered that her marriage was arranged by the old lady, which made her eldest aunt, second aunt and third aunt very anxious...
The conversation in the room continued, and Sun Fang felt a little proud.
"Mom, my nephew is not stupid, he just had a bit of a slow brain when he was a kid. Besides, my sister-in-law is willing to give him a hundred dollars to marry him off."
Sun Fang asked for one hundred yuan, and everyone in the Meng family was surprised. Even the old lady, who had originally disagreed, remained silent.
One hundred yuan was a huge sum of money in those days when eggs cost only a few cents.
Sun Fang glanced at everyone in the room and said, "Old Four, I am a very honest aunt, right? Your fourth room has no sons, so you have to rely on your daughter's betrothal money for your retirement, right?"
These words made Meng Daqiang and his wife somewhat tempted.
"Fourth brother, my sister-in-law said that as long as your Xiaoqi marries, she will give you more than a hundred yuan as a gift. She doesn't even want a dowry. As long as Xiaoqi marries, it will be fine. If you have a child in the future, she will give you 50 yuan!"
Sun Fang's words moved almost everyone in the Meng family, especially Meng Daqiang and his wife, whose eyes lit up.
You have to know that the Ling family only gave fifty yuan as a betrothal gift, and they also had to pay the dowry.
Seeing that Meng Daqiang and his wife were moved, Sun Fang said proudly, "Old Four, what do you think? If it doesn't work, I'll ask other people..."
When Meng Qidi gets married, she will definitely give this damn girl a hard time! How dare she threaten her? How bold!
Meng Daqiang quickly agreed, "Sister-in-law, of course we will..."
"When did I say I wouldn't marry into the Ling family? If you don't let me marry into the Ling family, then I'll go to the county town tomorrow."
Meng Qidi walked in with a cold voice and a hint of coolness emanating from her body.
She knew that she couldn't leave the Meng family now, and Sun Fang was plotting against her. If she stayed in the Meng family, she could only marry the fool in the county or Sun Fang's stupid nephew.
The Ling family, which she originally didn't want to marry into, became her fallback and the best choice...
Maybe there is still room for negotiation with Ling Xiao. She can heal his legs and his mother's eyes, and after she marries him, they can divorce and let her go...
"No! Xiaoqi, you can't go back on your word!" Meng Yuzhen stood up suddenly, her face full of anxiety.
If Meng Qidi went to the county town, I would be the one marrying my aunt's stupid nephew!
"Then you can blame them. I'm not the one who doesn't keep my word."
Meng Qidi glanced at her coldly, without stopping, she walked straight to Sun Fang, lowered her head and looked at her coldly.
Sun Fang was still in shock about what happened at noon, her voice trembling, "What do you want to do? Meng Qidi, I... I am your aunt... I didn't say anything wrong, there is no woman who doesn't marry, I am doing this for your own good."
Meng Qidi raised her lips and said, "Aunt, why are you panicking? I won't eat you. Bring me my knife."
Sun Fang was a little afraid of her, so she took out the small knife that was stuck on the table at noon from her pocket and handed it to her tremblingly.
Meng Qidi snatched the knife, glanced coldly at the Meng family members in the main room, then turned back to her room.
"Stop! Meng Qidi, do you still have me as your father in your eyes?"
