After being very upset in the hospital, I returned home. It was already dark. The two elders didn't even have dinner and just closed the door and went to bed.
"What happened to your grandparents?" Meng Daqiang asked suspiciously.
Just as Meng Yuzhen opened her mouth, Meng Qidi said calmly, "What else could it be? He was angry with my sister. The Ling family didn't intend to marry, saying that we wanted to exchange the bride. He was in the wrong and didn't want to give the bride price, but my sister actually said that she would pay for it."
The wicked complained first. Meng Yuzhen was very angry. "You are talking nonsense. It is obvious that you are determined to marry Ling Xiao. If it weren't for you, would that cripple take the opportunity to threaten us?"
Meng Qidi raised her eyebrows, "Sister, don't say anything careless. Grandpa and grandma can testify. I also said at the time that if I don't marry or change my marriage, I will marry the family in the city, and I am willing to explain it to the family in the city in person."
"You! You are quibbling!" Meng Yuzhen was so angry that she couldn't speak. She clearly didn't speak like that at that time. She was clearly singing the same tune as Ling Xiao.
"Then call your grandparents out to testify. I've already backed down, what else do you want? You're afraid that I won't marry into the Ling family, so you insist on paying the bride price and dowry. Sister, did I force you? It's okay if you don't agree, you can regret it. But do you think the Ling family will agree?"
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Meng Qidi's eyes. Don't forget, she was the one who said it from beginning to end.
"I..." Meng Yuzhen opened her mouth. The Ling family would definitely not agree.
It was only today that she realized that even if Ling Xiao was lame, as long as he asked, his comrades would definitely help him...
"That's enough! Do what you want to do yourself. I'm telling you, Meng Yuzhen, I don't have any money to give you. You have to figure it out yourself!"
Meng Daqiang waved his sleeves angrily and turned back to his room.
Zhao Hong, who was standing by, wanted to say something, but then she glanced at her two daughters and silently followed Meng Daqiang back to the house.
Because Zhao Hong didn't help her, Meng Yuzhen stomped her feet in anger and ran out unwillingly.
Sun Fang, who had been watching from the side, sneered, "Xiao Qi, don't blame your aunt for being talkative. Why marry into the Ling family? Marry my nephew. We are a family, and you don't need a dowry."
Meng Qidi glanced at her coldly and said, "Since you know you talk too much, then shut up. If you are not afraid that I will cut off your eldest nephew's penis and make your Sun family extinct, I don't mind marrying him."
Sun Fang's face froze instantly. Thinking of Meng Qidi's knife, she couldn't sit still any longer. She quickly stood up and left after muttering, "Bah! Good intentions don't get rewarded!"
Meng Qidi sneered and went straight to the kitchen. The kitchen was cold and no one left any food for people who were not at home. Not to mention, there were not even any leftovers.
Meng Qidi skillfully fished out two roasted sweet potatoes from the dust under the stove and took them directly into the house. As for who buried them secretly, that was none of her business.
At midnight, a scream was heard, followed by the voice of old man Meng cursing in the main room.
Meng Qidi was awakened by a fright. She probably thought that someone had discovered that her sweet potato was missing, so she couldn't sleep and went straight into the space.
Two sweet potatoes were not enough to fill her stomach, so Qu Yin found some food and filled her stomach before coming out.
The cursing outside gradually died down, and the night returned to peace. Meng Qidi lay down gently. She planned to heal the wound on her face after she married into the Ling family.
However, during this period, she had to find a way to collect the interest and not ruin Meng Yuzhen's face, otherwise she would not be able to marry the city's fool...
In her previous life, Meng Yuzhen sold her. Judging from her appearance at that time and the things in her space, she might not have married into that family in the city. So, this time, she had to keep an eye on her personally.
When Meng Qidi was getting ready to go to work in the morning, she met Meng Yuzhen at the door. She had a gloomy face yesterday, but today her face was full of smiles.
Meng Qidi ignored her and left. Meng Yuzhen couldn't help but yelled, "Xiao Qi."
Meng Qidi left without looking back. Meng Yuzhen stamped her feet in anger. She wanted to remind her, Meng Qidi, since you are so disrespectful, don't blame me...
"Hey, Yuzhen is back?" Sun Fang greeted Meng Yuzhen while leaning against the door. She looked her up and down. "Yuzhen, where did you get the money to pay Xiaoqi's betrothal gift? Didn't the family hand in all the work points?"
"Can't I borrow it?" Meng Yuzhen got angry when she mentioned this. She walked straight past Sun Fang into the yard, took some food from the kitchen, and turned to leave.
Sun Fang spat at her back and muttered, "What kind of character is this? She really thinks that if she is married to a man from the city, she is a city person. She is nothing more than a country chicken."
After closing the courtyard door, Sun Fang's eyes were full of dissatisfaction. She was not proud of anything and glanced at Meng Qidi's half-open door.
Sun Fang walked over and just as she touched Meng Qidi's door, a cold voice sounded behind her, "What are you doing?"
Sun Fang's hands trembled as she gently closed the door. She then turned around with a dry smile and said, "Mom, are you up? I saw that Xiaoqi's door was not closed. Please help her close it."
Old Lady Meng glanced at her unhappily and walked towards the kitchen. "Don't forget to feed the pigs. Wash the clothes when you have time and go to the ridge to pick some grass for the pigs."
"I understand, mother."
Sun Fang followed her dissatisfiedly. Seeing that she was doing farm work at home, she actually did more than anyone else. If it wasn't for leaving some food for her son, she wouldn't want to serve this group of people.
As soon as the old lady left, Sun Fang glanced at her little daughter who had come in. She went straight to her little daughter because of the anger she had received from the old lady, "What are you standing there for? Go get some grass for the pigs!"
The eight-year-old girl timidly said, "Mom, I haven't eaten yet..."
"What are you eating! You money-loser, all you know is eating!"
Sun Fang was so angry that she hit her with a stick a few times, "Hurry up and get pig grass! You are not allowed to come back until you get two baskets!"
The little girl didn't dare to hide or cry. She silently picked up the basket and received a few beatings.
"Mom, I'm so hungry. I want to eat eggs." A fat boy appeared at the door, rubbing his eyes.
Sun Fang immediately threw away the stick in his hand, pulled his son over, took out an egg from the firewood, and peeled it neatly, "Good boy, eat it quickly, don't let others see you."
The mother and son were sitting by the firewood and didn't notice the little girl next to them. The little girl secretly glanced at the two of them, quickly ran over, touched a sweet potato, put it in her arms, picked up the basket, and ran away.
"Mom, that damn girl is cheating!"
"This damn girl, I'm going to beat her to death!"
Sun Fang stuffed the egg into her son's mouth. If the eggshell had not been processed, she would have beaten that damn girl to death.
Meng Qidi, who was weeding the field, had just finished digging one side of the field when she saw a small figure running towards her quickly. Seeing Meng Qidi working in the field, she stopped in panic and said, "Fifth... Fifth Sister."
The Meng family actually has many descendants in this life, nearly ten, and Meng Qidi is the fifth.
Meng Qidi glanced at her indifferently and then looked away indifferently. This girl looked familiar to her. She had seen her several times at meals, but she couldn't remember her name.
When the little girl saw that her fifth sister didn't say anything to her, she felt that this sister didn't look as scary as she was at home, so she squatted aside and peeled and ate the sweet potatoes in the basket.
After finishing the meal, they started digging pig grass on the spot. The two sisters, one hoeing the ground, and the other digging pig grass on the ridge of the field.
"Hey! Fifth sister, come quickly, there are so many eggs here."
The little girl screamed suddenly.
