"Let me go." Meng Yuzhen's voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
Zhao Hong was slightly stunned and subconsciously let go of her, "Yuzhen? What's wrong?"
Meng Yuzhen ignored her and looked directly at Ge Mei, asking numbly, "What are you doing here?"
But she did not forget how cruel this woman was. She didn't even know how she had offended her, but she had someone destroy her dowry.
"To pick you up, but you don't welcome me?" Ge Mei smiled. She was confident about Meng Qidi, as she believed that she had good luck.
But Meng Yuzhen is different. She doesn’t think she can’t control Meng Yuzhen.
"You still dare to come?" There was some anger in Meng Yuzhen's eyes.
Ge Mei sneered, "Why don't I dare to come? Not to mention whether your dowry was spilled by me, you haven't paid back a cent of the money you owe me, right?"
Meng Yuzhen was stunned for a moment, bit her lip lightly, and secretly hated Ge Mei for being so unkind.
Zhao Hong quickly grabbed her daughter's hand and asked, "Why do you owe her money? Yuzhen, how much do you owe?"
Meng Yuzhen shook her hand off.
Ge Mei smiled and said, "Let's go back and talk about it. Yuzhen is divorced and can't return to the Nie family. Why don't we go back and talk it over."
Meng Yuzhen looked at her, somewhat unsure of what she was trying to do.
The three of them returned to Mengjia Lane, but Meng Daqiang was still at work and had not returned yet.
"Aunt, Yuzhen probably hasn't eaten yet. Can you go and make her a bowl of egg noodles?"
Zhao Hong quickly stood up and said, "Okay, you guys chat, I'll go cook noodles."
As soon as Zhao Hong left, Meng Yuzhen looked at Ge Mei and asked, "What on earth do you want to do by sending my mother away?"
Ge Mei walked to the edge of the pond and looked at it in front of her. "Do you remember Meng Qidi? The sister who married into the Ling family in your place?"
Meng Yuzhen's body froze. "What on earth do you want to say?"
If she had not exchanged her marriage with Meng Qidi, she would not have ended up in jail.
"You probably don't know yet? Your sister married into the Ling family in your place, Ling Xiao's leg healed and he returned to the team, and your family built a nice house. Think about yourself..."
Ge Mei chuckled and pointed to the pond, "I've always wanted to ask you, how come your pond is in the yard, and the crops are so good?"
Meng Yuzhen was still shocked by Meng Qidi's change, and subconsciously said, "I don't know, who knows where my dad got it."
She was in jail, but Meng Qidi was living a good life. Meng Yuzhen hated Meng Qidi at this moment, because that was originally her husband's family...
Without getting any words out of Meng Yuzhen, Ge Mei casually asked, "I heard that when you two got married, the man gave you a lot of money? Is this house really all your betrothal money?"
She hadn't paid attention to these things before, but now that she thinks about it, everything seems strange. Meng Daqiang is lazy and likes to eat, so where did he get the money to build a house?
Although the Nie family seemed to be in a good position, they were actually extremely stingy. They probably let Meng Yuzhen take back whatever money they had taken as a betrothal gift.
The only person I could think of was Meng Qidi. Ling Xiao's leg was actually healed, and a house was built at home. Many things were different. As expected, that woman was an unexpected person.
Meng Yuzhen came to her senses, "My dowry was taken away and all handed over. Don't worry about it. I can't pay you back."
Anyway, she has no money now, but she has her life.
Ge Mei turned around calmly and said, "You can choose not to return it, but I have a condition."
"Go ahead." Meng Yuzhen said quickly. Realizing that she answered too quickly, she suppressed her excitement and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
She owed Ge Mei a lot of money, as much as two hundred yuan, and she can't pay it back now.
"Do you remember what I asked you to do before? Go to Meng Qidi and get the jade pendant. As long as you get it, I will definitely not ask you to pay me back. We will write off the money you paid me before."
"But wasn't her jade pendant pawned by my father?"
Ge Mei sneered, "I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I don't believe it. Go and look for it. If you can't find it, you don't owe me any money."
Meng Yuzhen hesitated, "Did Ling Xiao really return to the team?"
"Well, in a word, are you going?"
Meng Yuzhen hesitated for a moment, then nodded quickly, "Go!"
It’s not her fault if you can’t find it, as long as she doesn’t owe you any money.
Ge Mei brushed off the dust on her body and said, "Okay, I'll go back then and tell Auntie that I won't stay for dinner."
After Ge Mei left, Meng Yuzhen bit her lip lightly. She hated Meng Qidi more than Ge Mei. Everything she had now was hers!
Lingjia Village.
Meng Qidi and the Ling brothers and sisters finished tilling the last piece of field.
"Pack up now, and remember to wait until we get home for dinner."
Meng Qidi washed her hands in the ditch and talked to the two of them.
"Well, we'll give the car to Uncle Niu and then we'll go over."
Ling Jinyue helped move a bag of rice from the cart and placed it on the threshing ground, waiting for Zhao Youwei to come and register.
After returning home, Meng Qidi said something to the old lady and went directly to the water outlet in front to pick up the fishing net.
She was reluctant to touch the fish in her own pond, and would occasionally use a net to fish at the pond outlet.
However, there were not as many fish as before, and there was only one fish this time.
She brought the fish back and cleaned it directly in the canal. The fish was not big, so she planned to steam it directly at noon.
The reservoir on the back mountain was blocked by her. There was little water in the first few days. Probably because the spring water from the mountains all flowed in, the water in the stream finally rose a little. The canal that had been dry for nearly a month finally had water.
"Xiao Qi, there are still fish between the stoves. I caught two fish at the water outlet this morning."
When Mr. Meng entered the yard, he saw Meng Qidi coming back and greeted her with a smile.
Since he was rescued by this girl last time, he has come to the Ling family more often. After Dahuang caught the wild duck last time, he would basically bring back some game.
He and Xiaoqi got along well, and since no one could see them anyway, he was happy to go to the Ling family.
"Okay, I'll go down and take care of it." Meng Qidi carried the fish into the house and didn't care about Mr. Meng. He had been here several times and the old man was very familiar with the family.
After putting the washed fish into the steamer, Meng Qidi went to deal with the other fish, leaving one fish for eating the next day.
Working was tiring, but she was not stingy and asked the old lady to buy a lot of bones and meat to stew in the morning.
Grilled fish fillets, steamed fish, pork rib soup, stir-fried seasonal vegetables.
The food is exceptionally good.
After processing the fish, Meng Qidi took the basket and went to the backyard.
After she retired the vegetable patch in the backyard and watered it with well water, the vegetables grew particularly fast and were very green.
I carried the vegetables to the front yard and planned to wash them in the ditch.
Before she reached the front yard, she heard voices. Meng Qidi frowned slightly and walked over.
"I'm looking for Meng Qidi. Isn't she at home?"
Before Mr. Meng could reply, Ling Jinyue's voice was heard from the gate of the courtyard.
"No, make way! Don't you have eyes?"
Ling Jinyue pulled away the person who was blocking the way at the gate and went straight in to the pond in the front yard.
He scooped up a handful of water from the canal and washed his face.
She had seen this woman before. She seemed to be Xiaoqi's sister. Would she come here to play on the swing in the middle of the day?
Ling Jinming squatted down beside his sister and whispered, "Jin Yue, watch your attitude. This is not our home."
"What's wrong? We have the final say in my sister-in-law's family. We just don't welcome her. That woman doesn't look like a good person."
