Chapter 230 Envy



"Comrade, what's up with you?"

Meng Qidi came back to her senses and quickly looked around. It was the post office. "Ah, I want to pick up a package. Is there any Meng Qidi's in Lingjia Village?"

"Wait a minute, let me take a look."

Coming out of the post office, Meng Qidi was holding two packages in her hands, one was sent from the county town, and the other was sent from Beijing. They were quite heavy and had no sender's name on them.

The heavy package was not opened and was tied directly to the back seat of the bicycle. The one sent from the county town was opened, which turned out to be a stove.

A master is a master. She can make a stove almost exactly the same as she wants.

but……

In addition, I need to look for a leather hose for ventilation. I don’t know if anyone sells it. There is also this biogas switch. It just needs to be able to control the biogas. It doesn’t need to be too complicated.

The leather hose is easy to find in the supply and marketing cooperatives, but the switch is a bit troublesome. If there is a gas stove these days, it can be solved by using it directly...

After walking around the town, I finally found two switches in a grocery store.

She actually didn't know whether there was methane outside these days. In her previous life, she wanted to escape, so she tried hard to get close to the college students in the village.

In addition to wanting to use their sympathy to escape, I also wanted to know the news outside. I heard about biogas from someone once...

With a sigh, Meng Qidi retracted her thoughts. She was just messing around now. Whether she could succeed depended on her luck...

With a creak, the gate was pushed open.

"Xiaoqi is back?"

Meng Qidi glanced at the people in the yard, parked her bicycle calmly, and took down the things she bought. In addition to packing the stove, she also bought some meat and planned to cook it for lunch.

After putting down all the things, she called out, "Auntie."

It’s not Sun Fang, it’s Wang Cuihua, the aunt of the Ling family.

"Hey, I haven't seen Xiaoqi for a few days. You look even more beautiful now." Wang Cuihua started praising people as soon as she opened her mouth.

Meng Qidi paused as she was opening the bag and looked at Wang Jinhua suspiciously. Was there something wrong with her?

Wang Jinhua shook her head blankly. The sister-in-law had been chatting awkwardly for several hours at home, but she didn't say why she came. She only found out now that she was looking for Xiaoqi...

Sure enough, Wang Cuihua squatted down in front of Meng Qidi and said, "Xiao Qi, I'm sorry about your uncle's incident. The old man is old and confused. He didn't mean to target you."

"What's the matter?" Meng Qidi interrupted her chattering. She really didn't know what she was talking about.

In fact, she really dislikes Uncle Ling Xiao's family.

This old lady is close to my aunt because of her family background, but that doesn't mean she is a good person.

She didn't believe that Ling Tiansheng had deducted so much of Ling Xiao's subsidies back then, and that this aunt wouldn't be unaware of it. It was just that the man took all the money, and the woman gave him small favors in private.

Maybe she will cry miserably to gain sympathy...

The old lady couldn't save face after receiving benefits from others, so she naturally wouldn't tell Ling Xiao about the family affairs.

Even if Ling Xiao knew the general idea, he couldn't do anything if the old lady didn't tell him. After all, she was often not at home. If he offended her, there would be no one to take care of the old and the child...

"Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi?"

Meng Qidi came back to her senses and said calmly, "What's the matter?"

Why do I get distracted so easily now?

Wang Cuihua coughed lightly, a little embarrassed, "Well, that is...your uncle asked me to ask you, is it convenient for our family to make this waterwheel?"

Ling Xiao's waterwheel is great. If I had one at home, fetching water would be no problem at all.

Meng Qidi looked at Wang Jinhua, "Mom, where is their home?"

She was really embarrassed. Since she married into Lingjia Village, the only families she had visited were the captain’s family, Jin Yue’s family, and, oh yes, Ling Sixiong’s shabby house…

Wang Jinhua smiled and said, "It's right next to the water port. Hey, sister-in-law, if you want to ask Xiaoqi about this, you should have told me earlier. I don't know either. Why waste time? Your house is not suitable. The water is too shallow. The water truck can't scoop up water..."

She knew that there was a water truck at home. When the water level was low, water could not be scooped up. The water from the village water port might not be able to be brought up. Besides, the villagers probably wouldn't agree for them to do that, right?

Of course, she said this because she didn't want her sister-in-law and her family to trouble Xiaoqi.

Wang Cuihua was slightly stunned, "Then...what should we do?"

She also thought about how convenient it was to have water at home. Not only did she not have to fetch water, she also didn't have to go outside to wash clothes. How great was that.

Although these people in the village spoke jealously about Ling Xiao's family on the surface, they were actually extremely envious in their hearts.

"What can I do? Just leave it like this."

While the two sisters-in-law were talking, Meng Qidi did not interrupt. She unpacked the things, carried them into the house, threw the unopened packages and meat on the table, and went straight to the kitchen with the stove.

"What is she busy with?"

Wang Jinhua smiled and glanced at her curious sister-in-law. She changed her tone and said, "She's just messing around. Don't bother with her."

"Then I'll go and take a look. I'm sure your Xiaoqi can come up with something good by fiddling around." Wang Cuihua said as she followed him in.

Didn't they say they were wasting money when they had a waterwheel? Look at them now, who wouldn't envy them? They can wash clothes and cook without leaving their homes...

Wang Jinhua...

I can't stop them, I can only follow them.

"Xiao Qi, what is this?" Wang Cuihua followed Meng Qidi and watched for half an hour, and finally couldn't help but speak out.

"Biogas." Meng Qidi said without even turning her head.

"What is biogas?" Wang Cuihua asked curiously, turning around from time to time, wishing she could learn everything in her house.

They can't beat Meng Qidi, so it's okay for them to learn from her, right?

Wang Jinhua glanced at him, feeling somewhat displeased, and wanted to pull the person away.

Meng Qidi paused, then suddenly turned around and said with a smile, "Methane, of course it's a good thing. Light up this stove and you can cook."

"No coal briquettes or firewood?" Wang Cuihua asked curiously.

"Well, just use pig, cow, sheep and human feces. If you want to, I can help you, but..."

Wang Cuihua's eyes lit up when Meng Qidi said this. As if she was afraid that Meng Qidi would go back on her word, she ran away without looking back, "Xiao Qi, wait a moment, I'll ask your uncle..."

As soon as Wang Cuihua left, Wang Jinhua complained, "What are you doing, kid? Why are you telling her all this? You have to review, so you don't have time for this. Besides, there's no need for us to bother their family..."

Meng Qidi continued to work on it, "Mom, don't worry, we won't lose money. If I make this for them, I will definitely charge them."

That’s right, after being scolded by Wang Cuihua, she thought of another way to make money, which was to build septic tanks for the villagers and profit from it.

She had not planned to do so at first, but when she saw Wang Cuihua's expression, she guessed that the villagers were probably envious of her family. If she enjoyed it alone, people would surely be jealous, so she would share it with everyone and make a profit from it.

Wang Jinhua was a little worried, "This...will this work?"

"You'll know if you try it." Meng Qidi smiled. Of course, not everyone can do this. The septic tank requires a lot of cement to make, and it has to be waterproof.

Not many people have that kind of financial resources these days, right?
