Meng Qidi laughed unceremoniously, "My sisters, please bear witness. It was my sister who insisted that I choose. It was not me who insisted. Otherwise, my mother will scold me."
Meng Qidi's innocent expression made Meng Yuzhen want to rush over and hit her.
Ge Mei reached out and held Meng Yuzhen down, then looked at Meng Qidi and smiled, "Look at what Xiaoqi said. Yuzhen said she would give it to you, and she won't go back on her word. By the way, did the Ling family say when they would come over to give you the date? You got engaged earlier than Yuzhen."
Meng Qidi sat down while playing with her watch. "Sister Ge Mei, it's not up to us to decide when the wedding will take place. Besides, I'm still young, so there's no rush. You guys haven't even married yet..."
Meng Qidi's words were a bit heartbreaking. Most of the educated youth were older than her, most of them were unmarried, and those who were married married people from the village.
Having upset all the educated youth in the room, Meng Qidi had no mood to stay and be glared at. After all, she had earned a watch.
Meng Yuzhen was so angry about losing a watch that she vomited blood, but she had to swallow her anger.
After sending the educated youth away and preparing to go back, he was stopped by Ge Mei.
"What's wrong, Sister Ge Mei?"
Ge Mei glanced at the yard and saw that no one was there. She lowered her voice and asked, "Didn't the man come today?"
She always felt that something was wrong. A city man married a country girl and was so polite and generous to her. There must be something wrong.
Of course, she didn't care about Meng Yuzhen, she just didn't like the situation where things were out of her control.
"The man?" Meng Yuzhen took a long time to react, then she became shy, "You didn't mention Nie Zheng? Uncle Nie said he was at work, so he didn't come today. He will come back for the wedding."
"No work?"
"It seems to be at the meat processing plant in the next county. What's going on? Sister Ge Mei?"
Meng Yuzhen looked at her in confusion. In order to dispel the rumor, she specially called all the girls and educated youth in the village over today.
Why did Sister Ge Mei's words make her feel a little uncomfortable?
Ge Mei shook her head. "It's okay. I just want to congratulate you on what happened today. Although Xiao Qi's behavior just now was despicable, you should not quarrel with her. It will be good for you to quarrel. Your parents have favored her since she was a child. It will not be good for you to quarrel."
"But...she can't be so excessive, Sister Ge Mei, I, I..."
It would have been better if Ge Mei didn't mention this. But after she did, Meng Yuzhen felt extremely wronged and hated Meng Qidi to death.
How could she not make a fuss? That watch cost more than a hundred dollars! She wanted her mother to get it back. Why should Meng Qidi get it for free?
Ge Mei sighed, patted her shoulder gently, and whispered something to comfort her. No one knew what she said, but Meng Yuzhen burst into laughter.
At the window sill of the kitchen, Meng Qidi withdrew her gaze calmly. So this is how Ge Mei stirs up trouble?
In her previous life, she had always had a good relationship with Meng Yuzhen, so it was no wonder that things had changed...
"Xiao Qi, what are you doing here?"
Meng Daqiang was a little hungry after drinking only a few sips of wine at noon, so he came in to find something to eat, and saw Meng Qidi standing by the windowsill.
Meng Qidi took out the watch and handed it over, looking embarrassed, "Dad, can you help me return this watch to my sister? She just insisted on giving it to me, and now she's crying. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it."
Meng Daqiang walked over and looked outside through the window. Sure enough, he saw his eldest daughter talking to the educated youth. It seemed that she handed something to the educated youth, and the two of them started to push each other politely.
spendthrift!
Meng Daqiang looked away with some displeasure, "Just take it. The Nie family sent so many things, it's only natural for her to help you."
"But, Dad, she'll tell Mom later..."
"If your mother dares to scold you, let your mother come to me!"
Meng Daqiang walked out impatiently, not even caring about eating. Yuzhen, that prodigal son, had given him nothing. He had to take those things back, otherwise her father would get nothing again!
When he thought about the betrothal money today and the fact that he didn't get it, he got angry. His daughter was given to the old man, which made him so angry!
After watching Meng Daqiang leave angrily, Meng Qidi put away her watch and lit a fire in front of the stove, as if Meng Daqiang had not come in just now.
After being comforted by Ge Mei, Meng Yuzhen felt much better. She came back to take the things from the main room away, but she saw Meng Daqiang carrying a lot of bags. She screamed.
"Dad! Why are you carrying my things?"
Meng Daqiang was startled by her. "You silly girl, why are you so loud? There are so many things, what's wrong with your father giving some advice? Do you want me to give them to others bit by bit?"
It’s fine to give it to Xiaoqi, after all, she is our sister, and we should keep it in the family. So why give it to that educated youth?
"Dad! That's Xiaoqi..." Meng Yuzhen stomped her feet in anger and glanced at Meng Qidi who came out from the kitchen, then paused.
Meng Daqiang said impatiently, "Okay, you gave the watch to Xiaoqi yourself, so you don't feel ashamed to take it back. You don't need to tell your mother about this. The Nie family gave so much, so what's wrong with our family taking some?"
Meng Yuzhen stomped her feet in anger at Meng Daqiang's shameless words and glared at Meng Qidi beside her with resentment. She must have been talking nonsense to her father!
Meng Qidi shrugged and went into the house.
Meng Qidi didn't know whether Meng Yuzhen had complained or not. Anyway, when she came back from work the next day, Zhao Hong didn't come to bother her.
The Ling family was coming to send off the guests on the third day, but Meng Qidi did not ask for leave and left work early.
Seeing the military vehicle parked at the door, Meng Qidi twitched the corners of her mouth, somewhat curious about what position this person held in the army. Otherwise, how could he still be picked up and dropped off by a military vehicle even after retiring?
Walking around the front of the car, Meng Qidi was startled to see the two people sitting in the car grinning at her. She smiled politely and quickly went into the house.
There were faint sounds of talking in the main room, and Ling Xiao's voice could be heard intermittently.
