"Don't I smell the fragrance of fish? Where's the fish?" Sun Fang walked into the house slowly and glanced at the dining table. There was no fish on either table.
She remembered that when she came back in the evening, the whole yard was filled with the smell of fish. Could it be that Meng Daqiang's family had stolen the fish?
Seeing Sun Fang looking at him suspiciously, Meng Daqiang slammed the table in displeasure.
"What are you looking at? Where did the fish come from? Did you buy it or catch it? Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense just because you are pregnant and greedy."
"I just asked a question. Why are you banging the table? Who are you trying to scare?"
Sun Fang was also furious, and was not afraid of Meng Daqiang. She spoke even louder than him, "You want to hit me, right? Come on, if you can, hit my stomach!"
Meng Daqiang had always disliked Sun Fang, and now he was even more furious, "Do you think I don't dare? You think being pregnant is a big deal, but I can't even say for sure if it's my eldest brother's!"
Sun Fang was furious. "Meng Daqiang! If you dare to talk nonsense to me again, I will tear your mouth apart!"
"Who are you trying to scare? If you have the guts, come over here. You are standing there with your mouth open. Who wouldn't say anything? You dare not admit it."
Sun Fang was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She looked at the man sitting beside her with a wronged look on her face, "Meng Jianguo! Are you looking at Meng Daqiang?"
"Shut up! Get out if you don't want to eat!" Old Mrs. Meng was annoyed by the quarrel between the two and shouted directly.
The dinner table suddenly became quiet, and the old lady glanced at Meng Yuzhen who was eating with her head down.
"Yuzhen, stop going out so often recently. It's not nice to hang out with a bunch of men every day!"
The fire suddenly burned herself, Meng Yuzhen felt aggrieved and nodded reluctantly.
The room was quiet. None of the children at the small table dared to speak and just kept their heads down eating.
However, Meng Qidi, who was sitting at the big table, glanced at everyone and spoke lightly.
"Grandma, my aunt quarreled with my father. I guess she was greedy and had some fantasies. After all, she is not the one cooking now, so she has to find something to do, right? For example, looking for trouble."
Sun Fang glared at Meng Qidi, who was trying to sow discord, angrily, "Meng Qidi! You are talking nonsense!"
Meng Qidi sneered, "Then I was wrong. I brought back some fish from the reservoir when I got home from work. However, my grandparents were tired from work, so my dad and I honored them."
Sorry, let's do it again. She won't let things go quietly. She just likes to watch them get so angry that they jump up and down, but she can't do anything about it.
The fish that Xiaoqi brought back?
After drinking a bowl of fish soup, Old Man Meng looked at Meng Qidi with great satisfaction, "Old lady, if you ask me, the fourth child and the youngest child are the only ones in our family who are filial. They always think of us."
Meng Daqiang was very proud to be praised by the old man for being filial.
Old Lady Meng glanced at Meng Qidi. Is this filial piety? I'm afraid this father and daughter just want to shut them up. They drink fish soup, but where is the fish? It's self-evident.
The other members of the Meng family all looked unhappy. Eating alone and showing off?
Meng Yuzhen was so angry that her teeth were itching. Just because she praised Meng Qidi, she should be scolded?
Sun Fang also did not get what she wanted. She was unwilling to be dragged to sit down by the man. When she saw her nephew standing stupidly next to her, she remembered her purpose of the day.
"Oh, by the way, mother, my parents have gone to other provinces to visit relatives."
Old Mrs. Meng looked at her, waiting for her next words.
"So, my nephew from my mother's side has been living at home for half a month recently."
Afraid that the Meng family would refuse, Sun Fang quickly said, "Mom, don't worry, my sister-in-law will give me 20 yuan for food expenses."
Twenty yuan was really a lot in an era when eggs cost only a few cents.
"Where does he live then?"
Old Man Meng was somewhat tempted, but there were many people in his family, and all the children had to share a room with their parents. Of course, Meng Qidi was an exception.
Sun Fang glanced at Meng Qidi, and when she met her dark eyes, she turned away uncomfortably.
"Don't underestimate my nephew. He is only ten years old. The weather is warm now, so he can go anywhere."
Old Lady Meng had not forgotten her youngest son's bowl of fish soup. She said coldly, "Since you said you can make do with it, then I'll sleep in your room. No one's house is more crowded than another."
Sun Fang grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Isn't Xiaoqi's room empty?"
The aunt-in-law suddenly brought up Meng Qidi. Meng Yuzhen felt relieved. She let Xiaoqi kick her out. She deserved it. She would just let that idiot fall asleep. It would be best if Meng Qidi was ruined!
Meng Qidi put down her chopsticks and looked at her coldly, "Are you serious, aunt? Are you sure you want him to sleep in my room?"
Sun Fang didn't dare to look her in the eye. "My nephew is not like everyone else. We are all family members. Everyone knows that he is a fool. Xiaoqi, how could you..."
"Bullshit!" Meng Daqiang slammed the table, furious.
"Sun Fang, you don't understand what I'm saying, right? I warned you that if you keep pestering Xiao Qi, everyone in the village will know about your little deeds tomorrow!"
"Fourth Brother." Meng Jianguo said in a low voice.
"Brother, don't blame me for not giving you face. She is the one who is shameless and insists on living in Xiaoqi's room, right? Fine, break one of her legs and let her live there!"
Meng Daqiang is a man of rough character. He is fearless and the most powerful one in his family. The Meng family is simply intimidated by him.
Meng Qidi then said calmly, "Dad, why are you so angry? If my aunt wants to stay, then she can stay. But if this big brother loses some arms and legs tomorrow, don't blame me."
Meng Daqiang's expression eased a little, "Xiao Qi, although Ling Xiao has retired from the army, we can't do anything rash. Let's not dirty our hands. Let's report it to the brigade. Isn't this obviously hooliganism?"
A fool wanted to ruin his daughter. No matter how bad Ling Xiao was, he just had a bad leg. Ling Xiao had comrades and could do side jobs. He relied on his two daughters for his retirement. He was a fool and let Sun Fang ruin Xiao Qi.
Meng Qidi's lips twitched slightly. Could she bribe this father with just a few fish?
The father and daughter sang the same tune, and each threatened to break Sun Fang's legs. Sun Fang was very angry.
Old Lady Meng glanced at the father and daughter, snorted softly, and then said faintly, "Since you can sleep anywhere, then sleep in the main room. Xiaoqi just got engaged, how can you sleep with Xiaoqi!"
If she didn't give in, who knew what the father and daughter would do. One of them was a mess and the other didn't follow the rules, and they had been acting more and more recklessly recently.
Sun Fang was anxious because her goal was not achieved. "Mom, my nephew is a guest after all. How can he live in the main room?"
Old Man Meng said sadly, "What are you making such a fuss about, you are the one who said it's okay to sleep anywhere. If you don't like it, take your nephew back to live with your mother."
The two elders' expressions changed. Sun Fang didn't dare to continue speaking. She glared at the father and daughter angrily, full of anger.
At the next table, Dad was protecting Meng Qidi. Meng Yuzhen was very angry. It was obvious that she was the one who married into the city, and Meng Qidi married a cripple. Couldn't her dad be less partial?
After dinner, Qu Yin went back to her room to fetch water for a bath, while Meng Yuzhen angrily prepared to go to the educated youth point.
"Yuzhen, where are you going?"
Meng Yuzhen stopped unhappily and said, "Dad, I'm going to sleep at the Youth League camp."
"Why are you sleeping so early? Let me ask you, where did you get the money to give to Xiaoqi? Isn't it the Ling family who gave the betrothal money?"
"Borrowed."
"Can you lend some to your dad?" Meng Daqiang rubbed his hands and licked his face. This little girl has money to give to others, why doesn't she know how to respect her father?
Xiaoqi is still the best. He is the one who will be remembered for any good things.
