When Meng Qidi and her daughter came back, the door of the Meng family was locked. They knocked for a long time before it opened.
Mrs. Meng was slightly stunned when she saw the two of them, then she stepped aside to let them in, "Why are you back just now? I thought you wouldn't be back today, have you eaten?"
"No, Mom, I have a few eggs over there. Please help me and Xiaoqi cook a bowl of egg noodles."
Meng Daqiang came in with a tired face and went straight to the old lady's room to warm himself by the fire.
Meng Qidi locked the door and followed.
The fire in the room was burning brightly. Old Man Meng was dozing off while Meng Xiaofu was reading a book seriously by the firelight.
Seeing Meng Qidi and the other person come in, he quickly stood up and greeted them, "Fourth Uncle, Fifth Sister."
Meng Qidi glanced at her hand and said, "Why don't you take a rest? Doesn't your hand hurt? This light hurts my eyes."
There was some confusion in Meng Xiaofu's eyes. Although she didn't understand why her fifth sister said that, she knew that her fifth sister definitely cared about her.
The dozing old man Meng was woken up. He took a look and saw that it was his son and granddaughter. He sat down with dissatisfaction.
"You're back? Xiaoqi, don't spoil the child too much. I agree that reading by the fire hurts the eyes, but what about bare hands? This girl is fine. Xiangwu even helped to fetch water."
Meng Qidi raised her eyebrows lightly, "Is her hand okay?"
Mrs. Meng, who was about to ask the two how much they had eaten, paused and said uncomfortably, "Xiao Fu's hands were off. I was just talking nonsense."
Meng Daqiang looked at the grandfather and grandson suspiciously, "What's going on?"
Meng Qidi pulled out a stool and sat down. "This morning, grandma came to me and said that Ms. Zhao had taken all the money from the house and even took Xiaofu's hands off. She asked me to come find you."
Meng Daqiang was surprised, "Xiao Fu's hand slipped off? I also got up early in the morning. Mom said Zhao Hong took the family passbook and her and dad's coffin book, so I chased after her with a kitchen knife."
Realizing that something bad seemed to have happened to her, the little girl quickly stood up, feeling a little uneasy.
Old Lady Meng pursed her lips and said, "Yes, I lied to you. When I woke up this morning, I saw Zhao Hong go out and hook up with a man at the entrance of the village."
But she didn't expect that after talking to her son angrily, Daqiang would go directly to Zhao Hong with a kitchen knife?
She could only ask Xiaoqi for help. Knowing that Xiaoqi felt sorry for Xiaofu, she took Xiaofu with her.
"So the bankbook at home wasn't lost?" Meng Daqiang's face darkened. Fortunately, he was stopped by Xiaoqi...
"No... no..." Old Lady Meng shrank her neck, "Isn't it for your own good that I did this? Zhao Hong has cheated on her, you can tolerate it but I can't."
Meng Qidi glanced at Meng Xiaofu who was bewildered beside her and patted her shoulder gently, "Go to bed, let's talk about something important, the children can't listen."
Meng Xiaofu nodded and went back to the house with the book.
The atmosphere in the room was a little heavy. Meng Qidi said, "Dad, don't blame grandma. They are divorced anyway. Ms. Zhao stood on the man's side the whole time today."
Old Mrs. Meng nodded quickly, "Fourth Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Zhao Hong won't stay at home at all. Think about it, you've only been back for a short time, and she's been running away almost every other day. If she's a man, she can't run away!"
Meng Daqiang looked at her dully, "Mom, you can't lie to me."
If Xiaoqi hadn't caught up with him, he would probably have chopped people down.
Old Mrs. Meng pursed her lips. She was wrong in this matter. She just didn't like Zhao Hong. It was her fault for being so unfair to Daqiang.
Meng Daqiang glanced at his daughter and said, "I'm going back to my room to sleep. You can go back by yourself later."
He was very angry at his mother's deception. If he really lost his temper and killed someone by mistake, then half of his life...
In fact, she speaks frankly, so she may not necessarily ignore it.
As soon as Meng Daqiang left, Old Mrs. Meng breathed a sigh of relief. She understood her son. Even though he left in anger now, he would be fine tomorrow.
He secretly glanced at Meng Qidi's expression, and seeing that she was not angry, he came over and said, "Xiao Qi, your dad just said that he is divorced. Is it true or not?"
"Really, they are divorced." Meng Qidi did not hide anything and spoke frankly.
Now Old Mrs. Meng was completely relieved. The fourth child would no longer be harmed by that woman Zhao Hong.
Meng Qidi rested at the Meng family for a night and prepared to go to town to ride a bicycle the next morning.
Just as Old Lady Meng said, Meng Daqiang had calmed down after being angry for a while, and was even worried about her going back alone.
There was nothing to worry about in the countryside, so Meng Qidi rejected Meng Daqiang's suggestion, trotted to the town, and then rode her bike back to the village.
Wang Jinhua finally felt relieved when her daughter-in-law returned safe and sound.
Meng Daqiang got divorced, and the news spread throughout the town.
Meng Daqiang didn't react much. He was busy. Since he had the money, he would go to Guangdong Province to get clothes and sell them.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Meng Qidi also became busy. She had to go to school and many things had to be prepared before she could go to school with peace of mind.
On the 20th, Meng Daqiang bought a train ticket and headed south...
The biogas digester was operating in an orderly manner, and since she had frightened them before, no one dared to continue making trouble.
I cut the mushrooms twice and dried them, and there was about half a pound of dried mushrooms.
Finally, we got home and dried the kudzu powder.
She also got ten kilograms of kudzu powder, which she planned to take to Beijing.
School started in early February and it was far from Beijing, so Meng Qidi prepared to leave on the 21st. She didn't have much stuff and could only pack one suitcase.
It contained bacon, sausage and kudzu powder, and she threw all the clothes into the space.
When the old lady wasn't paying attention, he put the passbook under her pillow before going out.
Wang Jinhua was not sent to town, but was sent back at the village entrance.
"Where's Xiaoqi?"
Half an hour later, Ling Hanfang trotted over and saw that only Wang Jinhua and his grandchildren were looking around at the village entrance, so he hurriedly asked.
He specially asked the village tractor to take Xiaoqi to the town. How come this girl was so fast?
"Xiao Qi won't let me see you off, let's go, let's all go back."
Wang Jinhua wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. After living together for so long, she regarded Xiaoqi as a family member and was really reluctant to let her go.
However, she had nothing to worry about when she went to Beijing to visit her son. She hoped that both children were well, and it would be best if they could bring back a chubby baby at the end of the year.
Here, Meng Qidi carried the heavy suitcase to a deserted place, put it directly into the space, and changed into a lighter backpack. She planned to go to the county town to find an deserted place to take it out, and then send it to Beijing.
When I got to the town, I caught the first bus and reached the county town at around eight o'clock. I took the suitcase out of the space and sent the things to the post office to mail it out.
After going to the station and buying the ticket, Meng Qidi found a phone to call Ling Xiao.
"Have you arrived at the county town?" Ling Xiao's voice came from the other end as soon as the call was connected.
Meng Qidi was surprised, "Brother, are you still awake and waiting by the phone?"
Ling Xiao said unhappily, "What are you calling me for? Mom just called me and told me you left. I thought you might call me, so I didn't leave."
"You are older than me, so there is nothing wrong with calling me brother." Meng Qidi glanced at her watch. "I will be in the car soon. Don't forget to pick me up. Otherwise, I will rent a house or live in the school dormitory by then."
"Don't worry, no one else will answer the phone, only my daughter-in-law will."
Meng Qidi snorted, said a few words to Ling Xiao, and then hung up.
