Meng Yuzhen came out of Ling's house and quickly chased towards the village entrance. Sure enough, she saw a woman leaving the village, looking back every few steps.
"Big sister."
Wu Jingxue was stunned, paused and hesitated, "You are..."
"I'm Xiaoqi's sister, Ling Xiao's sister-in-law. Did you have a fight with Xiaoqi just now? Big sister, I'm sorry, my sister is spoiled by my father. If she said something inappropriate, I apologize to her."
Wu Jingxue, who was originally a little scared, became excited again when she saw this city-dwelling woman being so polite, and then she sighed.
"Oh, it's okay. I'm used to it. Ever since my husband left, I was kicked out of their house... Oh, let's not talk about it anymore. Sister, luckily you are reasonable. I just want to see my poor daughter, but I don't know..."
As she said this, she pulled Meng Yuzhen's sleeve and started crying.
Wu Jingxue, who lowered her head, did not notice a trace of disgust in Meng Yuzhen's eyes.
Meng Yuzhen pulled back her sleeves without leaving a trace. "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'm worried about this matter. I'll tell my sister later. But the children are on vacation now, so it's a bit difficult to see them. If school starts..."
Wu Jingxue's eyes lit up at these words. "It's okay, it's okay. Just wait until school starts."
Meng Yuzhen chuckled, "Sister-in-law, how can you keep your child at home forever? It must be easy to see him. This child loves his mother so much, so just see him more often."
Meng Yuzhen ignored Wu Jingxue and turned away with coldness in her eyes.
Meng Qidi! All of this should have been hers! Even if I can't destroy it now, I'll make her sick to death!
Meng Yuzhen left and came back. Wen Qiang sneered, "Oh, you're back now?"
Meng Yuzhen ignored her and leaned close to Qiu Cheng's ear and whispered something.
Qiu Cheng nodded slightly and said nothing more.
The Ling family's banquet was very sumptuous, especially the meat dishes, which included several courses and fish. The guests enjoyed the meal to their heart's content.
So when Wang Jinhua and Yang Shihua came out to toast, everyone's congratulations were full of sincerity.
After all, the Ling family's life is getting better and better, and no one wants to offend them.
After a round, most of the wine in Wang Jinhua's hand was stopped by Yang Shihua and drank by him. He was really happy. His face turned red after drinking, and his steps were a little unsteady when he returned to the house.
Ten minutes later, Uncle Yi brought Ling Xiao and his wife out to toast.
Everyone was a little afraid of Ling Xiao because he was a former soldier. As for Meng Qidi, everyone also had an indescribable feeling, with a hint of awe.
She is good-looking, a college student, and I heard she is a graduate student, which means she has a high level of education. Since she married into the Meng family, she has been claiming in the village that she is a lucky person. Since then, the Ling family has really become prosperous...
The couple passed the glass of wine around and came back with a third of it still in their hands, which showed that no one dared to let them drink.
Around two o'clock, the guests gradually dispersed. Except for Qiu Cheng and the other two who did not leave on their own initiative, there were basically no guests left in the yard.
Mr. Qiu San gave the three of them a cold look and motioned for Yi Bo to take him back. When Qiu Cheng saw him leave, he raised his foot and followed him.
In the yard, Wang Jinhua and Yang Shihua had already changed out of their wedding dresses and put on dirt-resistant ones.
She gathered all the dishes on the table. Knowing that her children did not like the leftovers, Wang Jinhua gathered the bowls, chopsticks, tables and chairs borrowed from the village, and put two or three bowls of dishes on each table and chair.
We don’t eat it at home, but for other families, the food at the banquet is all good stuff.
When the grown men saw that everything was ready, one moved the tables and chairs while another served the dishes and returned the food.
Meng Qidi and Wang Hexiang were helping to wash the dishes.
Wang Cuihua looked at the dishes being taken away and felt a little reluctant.
Wang Hexiang said, "Don't worry, Jinhua will definitely benefit from you. These dishes are all saliva, so it's better not to eat them."
"Yeah." Wang Cuihua nodded gently, but in her heart she cursed the loser. What's wrong with saliva? It's meat too...
Meng Qidi didn’t care what Wang Cuihua was thinking. She put the dishes by the canal and went to sweep the yard.
When Ling Xiao came back, he approached her and whispered, "The wire fence was pushed a little crooked. I guess it was scared by the dog, so it didn't fall over."
Meng Qidi nodded gently, "It's okay, we'll just lock the door from now on."
Of course, Wang Jinhua did not treat the people who helped badly. After everyone finished their meal, each of the people who helped was given a big bowl of meat, a piece of pork, a fried fish, and a piece of cloth.
The pork was a gift. Even if it was pickled, it would probably go bad in such a hot day. The fish was caught and didn't cost much. The cloth was also a gift. We already had clothes given by Meng Daqiang at home, so we didn't need a few pieces of cloth.
The men who came to help were each given a pack of cigarettes worth five dollars. In those days, cigarettes worth five dollars were a luxury.
At around four o'clock, the work was finally done and the yard returned to its former tranquility. However, Wang Jinhua and Yang Shihua carried baskets to the back mountain to worship their ancestors.
Meng Qidi and Ling Xiao asked Meng Daqiang to look after the two children and went to Mr. Qiu Sanye's house next door.
At the door of Master Qiu San, he was sitting in a wheelchair with an expressionless face, and behind him was Yi Bo pushing the wheelchair. The master and the servant had no intention of letting the three men into the house.
"Third brother, this is not good for you. Dad told me to call you back. There is no big city like Beijing that can take good care of you in this remote mountain area."
Third Master Qiu said calmly, "You said it as if you left me in Beijing for more than ten years without caring about me and took good care of me."
"Third brother, do you have to keep talking about what happened back then? You know what happened back then..."
A trace of mockery flashed across Mr. Qiu's eyes. "Then what position do you have to persuade me to return to Beijing? My daughter married here, and I am alone. Can't I just stay with her?"
Qiu Cheng was helpless, "Third brother, it's fine if you want to stay for a few days, but if you are like this and bring Yi Bo with you, won't it cause trouble for Xiao Qi?"
Yi Bo, who had inexplicably become a burden, was somewhat unhappy. How did he become a trouble...
Meng Qidi pulled Ling Xiao over and said, "What did my uncle say? I didn't say my dad was a problem. I am his only daughter, and my husband and I are willing to support him."
Not to mention, her father is not yet at the stage where he needs her to support him.
"Xiao Qi, stop messing around. You still have to ask Ling Xiao for his opinion..."
Ling Xiao said, "Uncle, I have no objection. Please don't judge others by your own standards."
When Ling Xiao finished speaking, Qiu Cheng choked. Before he could say anything else, Mr. Qiu San had already ordered him to leave.
"Old Yi, show the guest out."
Yi Bo sighed, "Young Master, let's go back. We've been busy all day and are exhausted. Also, Miss Wen is spoiled and probably can't adapt to our country life. We won't entertain her."
Wen Qiang, who had originally planned to stay here for one night, opened her mouth but was too shy to say anything else.
Qiu Cheng had no choice but to lead the two women away...
