As soon as the two of them left, the salesperson stomped his feet in anger and could only stare at their backs as they left.
Unless the two of them come to buy goods again in the future, she really can't do anything about them.
After leaving the department store, Meng Qidi handed the purse in her hand to Ling Xiao, "Thank you for just now."
Ling Xiao glanced at the purse in her hand and said, "Take it."
Meng Qidi...
"Aren't you afraid that I'll regret not marrying you after I take the money?"
Ling Xiao chuckled and didn't take it, "Take it, buy whatever you want."
Meng Qidi curled her lips and put it directly on his lap, "No, you keep the money."
They haven't married yet, why would she take his money? Even if they get married in the future, since they have agreed to marry, it would be difficult for her to manage the money for him, right?
Alas, she was actually quite short of money. She only had five dollars in her hand. It looked like she had to go and exchange the gold for money. If she wanted to exchange gold these days, she had to go to the black market...
Meng Qidi didn't want it, and Ling Xiao didn't force her, so he took the money.
The two came back empty-handed, and Ling Jinming and the others were a little surprised, "You didn't buy anything."
"They don't want to sell it." Meng Qidi told the whole story, but she didn't mention the good things she and Ling Xiao did afterwards.
"Get in the car." Ling Xiao said.
Meng Qidi and Ling Jinming hurriedly helped Ling Xiao get into the car.
Comrade Ling Xiao turned his head and glanced at the department store over there, wrote down the name of the store, and then went to move the wheelchair into the car.
At noon, Zhao Hong came back and saw her eldest daughter crying in the yard. After finding out what happened, she instantly became furious and turned around to go out and scold those women.
Meng Yuzhen grabbed her and cried, "Mom, don't go. You will feel embarrassed if you go. Mom, only Xiaoqi knows about this. Apart from her, I can't think of anyone else..."
When Zhao Hong heard that it was Meng Qidi again, she flew into a rage without even thinking.
"Where is she? How come she is becoming more and more vicious, even harming her own sisters!"
Yesterday, it was because of Xiaoqi that she was kicked several times by a man. Her legs are still bruised. How did that girl become like this now?
"She went to the town to buy some clothes." Meng Yuzhen threw herself into Zhao Hong's arms, "Mom, how can I live now..."
In fact, she is not sure who spread the news. Sister Ge Mei said that the people in the educated youth camp would not tell others, but who knows whether they will tell others...
Zhao Hong raised her hand and patted her gently, comforting her, "It's okay, your father will probably be back soon. Didn't he call the Nie family in the county this morning? There must be news."
After being comforted by Zhao Hong, Meng Yuzhen's expression eased, and the mother and daughter lowered their heads and huddled together to whisper.
Old Man Meng and Old Lady Meng came in with their hands behind their backs, their faces gloomy, obviously having heard the rumors outside.
He glanced coldly at the mother and daughter hugging each other, "Old Fourth's family, what are you doing standing there? Go cook, do you want us to come back from work to serve you?"
Zhao Hong only dared to yell at Meng Qidi, but when she was yelled at by her father-in-law, she quickly let go of her daughter and went to cook.
Meng Yuzhen followed closely.
"Yuzhen, stop! Come in!"
Old Man Meng's tone was not good, and even the old lady next to him had a cold face.
Meng Yuzhen pursed her lips and followed in with a feeling of grievance.
It was almost noon when Meng Qidi and her group arrived at the county town.
Ling Xiao suggested taking Meng Qidi to buy clothes first.
Meng Qidi was helpless with his stubbornness, "Brother Xiao, how about this, you guys go to the hospital, I'll go buy clothes by myself. If I wait for you to go with me to buy clothes, the hospital will be closed."
Did he have to buy her clothes? More important than his legs?
Seeing Meng Qidi also helping to persuade him, his comrade Shen Xing also breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, Captain, you and sister-in-law should act separately, and we will gather at the hospital entrance later."
Meng Qidi nodded repeatedly, "I can do it alone, I'll be back soon."
She really didn't plan to buy any clothes, but she wanted to buy some books. However, the ten-year chaos wasn't over yet, so if she wanted to buy books, she might have to go to the scrap yard.
Although she was trapped in a small mountain village and had never been out in her previous life, the girl who went out to work told her a lot about the outside world.
Although she didn't know many things, she knew the major events that happened every year in later generations. As long as she tried her best this time, she would definitely not follow the old path.
The three people were persuading him, Ling Xiao had no choice but to nod and put the money in his hand into Meng Qidi's hand.
"Take it. If you don't, I'll go with you."
Meng Qidi looked at him speechlessly. It seemed that he would feel uncomfortable if she didn't spend his money.
I was planning to exchange money on the black market later, but now I don't have to bother with that, so I'll just use his and pay him back later.
After confirming that Ling Xiao was going to the same hospital as last time, Meng Qidi got out of the car and started looking for a scrap yard on the street.
I walked around for nearly an hour before I found one in a corner.
The scrap yard was cluttered with things. The owner was standing at the door with his head down, reading a tattered magazine. He didn't even raise his head when someone came.
"What are you selling? Waste paper is two cents a pound, glass bottles are five cents, and we don't accept old clothes."
Meng Qidi glanced inside, not knowing whether there were any books.
"Uncle, I want to ask if you have any books here."
A crisp voice interrupted Meng Qidi's words.
"Xiao Qi? Why are you here?"
Meng Qidi turned her head, somewhat surprised to see Ge Mei. She nodded slightly, but did not answer her question. Instead, she asked, "Are you here... to buy books?"
Ge Mei nodded uncomfortably, "Yeah, you too? Why are you buying books? Why are you in the county town?"
Meng Qidi lowered her eyes slightly, "My boyfriend came to the city to have his legs checked. He was afraid that I would be bored, so he asked me to go out for a walk. I thought of buying him a few books to read at home."
Going to the scrap yard to buy books? She always wondered if Ge Mei had any inside information.
