Everyone in the Meng family was stunned. Old Man Meng couldn't believe it. "What did you say? No gift? Why?"
It was the first time he heard that no bride price was paid when marrying a wife. Did the Ling family think that their wife was picked up from Dashui River?
"Since your family has gone back on their word, and Meng Qidi has begged me to do this, it's okay if I don't agree. Either cancel the engagement, or..."
Ling Xiao's eyes fell on Meng Yuzhen, "Let her marry me."
Meng Yuzhen's face turned pale instantly. She didn't want to marry this cripple, and he was disfigured!
Meng Qidi leaned against the wall calmly. A small knife appeared in her hand at some point. She gently stroked the blade with her fingers.
"It's okay for me not to marry. Either let me marry someone in the city and I won't change my marriage, or..."
Meng Qidi chuckled, "Or I'll just stay at home and be an old girl."
Meng Qidi gently applied force, and the sharp knife cut her fingertips, and a drop of bright red blood fell.
Ling Xiao saw her out of the corner of his eye, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He had underestimated the cruelty of this little girl. He knew without thinking that she must have made trouble in the Meng family.
The two elders of the Meng family looked slightly dark, and they immediately thought of the incident that day when Meng Qidi stabbed the bowl of the elders with a knife during dinner.
If this damn girl is really not allowed to get married, she will probably cause chaos in the family.
Old Man Meng was so angry that he cursed, "You little bitch, you are rebelling. I will beat you to death when I get back!"
Old Lady Meng pulled the old man and shouted, "Shut up!"
Meng Qidi sneered, "You can try. Do you think I'm kidding? I happen to be in the county town now. If I go to that family, do you think they will agree to the marriage exchange for the sake of face?"
Meng Yuzhen turned pale and grabbed the old lady's arm, "Grandma, promise her."
She couldn't let Meng Qidi snatch away her marriage!
Bang!
Old Man Meng was already irritated by Meng Qidi, so he raised his hand and slapped Meng Yuzhen.
"I never promised anything! Are you going to give me the fifty yuan betrothal gift?"
Oh, dowry? Old Man Meng never thought of giving these two damn girls a penny of dowry!
Meng Yuzhen's face instantly turned red. She bit her lips lightly with reluctance. Where did she get so much money? But...
When she thought that her marriage could not be ruined by Meng Qidi, she made up her mind that she could go to Ge Mei to borrow money and then return it to her after she got married and moved to the city and became the head of the family.
Thinking of this, she made up her mind, "I'll pay for the betrothal gift!"
Meng Qidi sneered, "You want to pay the betrothal gift? Okay, but don't forget to give me a dowry when the time comes, otherwise..."
Old Man Meng was so angry that he almost yelled at her. But Old Lady Meng glanced at her granddaughter and said with a gloomy face, "Don't worry, you will be included in the dowry!"
Meng Qidi then smiled and said, "Thank you for your help."
Now, the second elder's chest was heaving with anger.
It took Wang Po a long time to react. What happened was... her daughter-in-law was changed from Yuzhen to Xiaoqi?
She sighed silently. She had no say in her son's decision. Xiaoqi was a good person, so she just changed him...
The two elders of the Meng family glared coldly at Meng Yuzhen and her sister, said something, and turned and left. Meng Yuzhen pursed her lips and chased after them.
Meng Qidi chuckled, greeted the old lady Ling Xiao, gently pinched Xiao Chengzi's little face, and then walked out.
"Since you know the location of the one in the city, why did you choose me?"
Ling Xiao asked, looking at Meng Qidi's back. He just realized that the Meng family's marriage exchange was not a simple exchange of marriages because they disliked his broken leg, but a direct exchange of marriages between the two sisters...
Meng Qidi stopped at the door and turned around, "Because the guy in the city is also a fool."
She was probably destined to be with fools.
Ling Xiao paused, "Your sister doesn't know?"
Meng Qidi's lips curled up, and she was in a particularly good mood. "Besides me, I guess those two people just now are the only ones who know about this."
The corners of Ling Xiao's eyes twitched. If her elder sister knew about this later, well...
Nodding slightly at Ling Xiao, Meng Qidi left quickly.
As soon as the Meng family left, Grandma Wang asked nervously, "Ling Xiao, this matter..."
Ling Xiao lowered his eyes calmly, "Mom, don't worry about it. I'll find someone to pick a date in a few days and get engaged first."
It’s better not to let the old lady know about his conversation with Meng Qidi, as she will probably start to have wild thoughts. As for divorce, let’s talk about it after they get married.
"Uncle, Xiao Chengzi is very hungry."
The adults were talking about something, and the Fairy Sister didn't want to play with him anymore, but was playing with a knife. Ling Cheng was lying on the bed next to him and almost fell asleep. He opened his eyes and saw that there was no one around, so he dared to speak.
Grandma Wang was slightly startled, and quickly moved towards the voice. "Are you hungry, Little Orange? Sit still and don't run around. Grandma will buy you something to eat."
Little Orange got up sensibly, "But grandma, I have to hold your hand, otherwise you will fall."
Ling Xiao's gaze fell on the old and the child. Meng Qidi was right. Their family's situation really needed someone to take care of it.
And his leg... the military doctor had already diagnosed that his thigh meridian was injured. Medical technology is backward now, so even if he recovers, he can only walk with difficulty and cannot stand for a long time...
He took a deep breath. Saving his life was not a big deal. The higher-ups gave him half a year to recuperate. If he couldn't recover and couldn't return to the team, he would have to retire...
After leaving the hospital, the two elders of the Meng family did not wait for the two sisters and walked towards the station angrily.
Meng Qidi followed from a distance and didn't care about Meng Yuzhen. She was in a good mood today because she had solved a big problem in her mind.
She didn't expect that Ling Xiao would actually solve all the problems she raised. As long as she left the Meng family, she would have the confidence to live a good life in the future.
I hope the Ling family can come and get engaged soon. As for Meng Yuzhen, she should collect the interest for what she owed her in her previous life...
Meng Yuzhen, who was following from a distance, stared at Meng Qidi's back fiercely. She was very unwilling in her heart because she lost fifty yuan because of Meng Qidi.
Especially when she thought about being threatened by these two people in the ward, she hated Meng Qidi even more in her heart. She wanted to marry Ling Xiao?
Good! She wanted the Ling family to hate Meng Qidi to the extreme after she married him.
Thinking of the plan she had just thought of, Meng Yuzhen smiled grimly, but when she raised her eyes, she met Meng Qidi's gaze. She paused slightly and looked away.
Fearing that Meng Qidi would go crazy and target her again, she quickly quickened her pace and caught up with the old man Meng and his wife in front of her.
Meng Qidi, just wait, it’s not easy to get my money, Meng Yuzhen.
"Why are you walking so slowly? Aren't you two quite capable? Pay for the fare later. If you don't have money, just walk back!"
The unhappy voice of Old Man Meng came from afar, and it was clear that he was dissatisfied with what happened in the hospital before.
Meng Qidi sneered, with a hint of disdain and coldness in her eyes.
She was in a good mood now and didn't bother to argue with them. She was afraid that the old man would be mad to death, and she would have to observe mourning, which was not worth it...
