It was time for dinner when Meng Qidi came out of the space, rubbed her aching eyes, opened the door and walked out.
Zhao Hong, who came out with a pot of boiled sweet potatoes, glanced at Meng Qidi, whose face was flushed, with an unhappy look on her face.
"You don't come to work in the afternoon, and you don't help with the chores. Don't you know how busy I am?"
Meng Qidi frowned. Zhao Hong had been going crazy these past few days. She just couldn't stand her. She didn't remember being disliked by this weak mother in her past life...
Could it be that she is unhappy because I am not submissive now?
"I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?"
Zhao Hong's voice became a little louder, with a hint of annoyance, but when she met her daughter's deep eyes, she turned her eyes away uncomfortably.
"Give half of the things the Ling family sent today to your sister. Your sister gave you such a good marriage."
Meng Qidi sneered, "Want it? That's wishful thinking! Ms. Zhao Hong, you are wrong about one thing. This marriage was not arranged by Meng Yuzhen. She didn't want it. She didn't tell you that she helped Ling Xiao pay the betrothal gift in order to marry into the county town."
Zhao Hong was stunned, and for a long time she didn't understand what her little daughter meant.
Meng Qidi raised her hand and took a sweet potato from the basin. "By the way, my dowry money was paid by that good sister. The money should all be with me. I guess she borrowed a lot, right?"
While peeling sweet potatoes, Meng Qidi entered the main room. The people who had gone to work had not returned yet, but the two elders were still there.
Old Man Meng glanced at the sweet potato in Meng Qidi's hand and felt a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything.
It was only after he got off work today that he found out that Xiaoqi had gone to repair the reservoir. Considering her high work points, it was okay for her to eat a few more sweet potatoes.
Sun Fang held her waist and walked over the threshold with the help of Meng Jianguo. Behind her was Zhao Hong who came in with a basin of sweet potatoes.
Sun Fang glanced at the sweet potato in Meng Qidi's hand and became unhappy.
"Mom, I'm not saying anything bad about my sister-in-law, but she cooks, and there's no need to spoil her like that. We have a big family, and we can't stand her eating so much..."
Zhao Hong's hands froze, she put down the basin and walked out quickly, with no intention of helping her daughter at all.
Meng Qidi finished half of the sweet potato in her hand, then slowly raised her eyes, "Auntie is right, children can't be spoiled like this. By the way, grandma, Auntie is pregnant today, you asked me to give her the malted milk."
Old Mrs. Meng was slightly stunned. Her eldest daughter-in-law was still thinking about the things in her hands?
Then he looked at Sun Fang unhappily, "What? You think you are precious just because you are pregnant? Are you still thinking about the things in my hand?"
Sun Fang's face changed slightly, and she glared at Meng Qidi with hatred, and quickly explained, "Mom, don't listen to this girl's nonsense. I just asked her to take the initiative to present the malted milk to you as a filial piety."
Meng Qidi slowly tore the other half of the sweet potato skin, "Then you asked me to take a foot of cloth to make clothes for the baby in your belly, and you also asked me to give you a piece of clothing..."
"Meng Qidi! You are slandering me with such nonsense..."
"Grandma, since my aunt is so greedy for my things, why don't you let her divorce my uncle and marry someone else? Then she can have everything, right?"
Meng Qidi looked up and interrupted Sun Fang, then looked at the old lady and smiled.
Sun Fang was furious and said, "Meng Qidi, shut up!"
"Sun Fang, shut up!" Meng Jianguo shouted. He felt so ashamed when his wife tried to snatch the engagement gift for his niece.
Old Mrs. Meng looked at her eldest daughter-in-law unhappily, "Old family, if you don't want to eat, you can go back. If you don't want to stay in the Meng family, you can get out!"
Sun Fang shut up unwillingly.
Meng Qidi lowered her eyes indifferently. This was just a lesson. If Sun Fang dared to cause trouble to her again, she would make sure she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Sun Fang was naturally unwilling to accept that she did not get the good treatment from Meng Qidi, so she left quickly after Meng Qidi went to work the next day.
Meng Qidi had been drinking Yuquan water these days, and her physical condition had improved a lot. She and Liu Xuemei were able to dig the mud very quickly, and the people digging below were a little too late.
"I'll go help dig." Meng Qidi took the empty basket and went down on her own initiative.
While digging in the mud, she found a lot of clams, loaches and other things, and she took the opportunity to put them into the space.
During the lunch break, she saw a bucket filled with fish next to her and asked softly, "Can I take these?"
Liu Xuemei munched on a multi-grain pancake and said, "Sure. These things waste a lot of oil and are hard to cook. No one wants to make them? The team doesn't care. If you like them, you can take them back."
Meng Qidi nodded gently. The hard-to-cook ones probably refer to the clams, which are big and hard. The meat inside becomes tough and tastes bad after being boiled. But I wonder if they will taste better after being cooked with Yuquan water...
"There are wild lotus leaves over there. You can get a few leaves. Don't pick up the clam shells. You can get some loaches or something like that."
After Liu Xuemei said this, Meng Qidi went to pick lotus leaves after finishing her meal. It seemed that she would have to bring a bucket of water tomorrow and use Yuquan water to keep the clams, otherwise most of the clams she put into the space would die...
While digging the mud, Meng Qidi picked up a lot of loaches and poured some of the Yuquan water in the kettle into the lotus leaves.
Liu Xuemei was helpless, "Why did you drain the water? Are you afraid of death? This thing can survive for a while without water."
Meng Qidi smiled embarrassedly, "Don't you understand?"
Meng Qidi was fast, and she was not slow in digging mud and catching loaches, so no one said anything.
When she got off work, she found Ling Jinming with the loach on the lotus leaf and said, "Comrade Ling Jinming, please give it to Brother Xiao."
"Hey, sister-in-law, it's no trouble."
Ling Jinming took it and put it carefully into the bucket. He thought his sister-in-law was just being polite yesterday, but he didn't expect that she really caught it.
There were also some clam shells and fish in Ling Jinming's bucket, probably some to take back to improve his life.
