"Xiao Qi has eaten."
After waking up from a nap, Meng Qidi looked much better and felt relaxed.
No one could feel the sense of relief after being freed more than she did. She no longer had to think about escaping day and night...
Maybe she should thank God for giving her a chance to start over.
Grabbing the worn coat on the quilt and putting it on, Meng Qidi walked out of the room.
A kerosene lamp was lit in the main room, and the light was dim. The Meng family members gathered around the table, and the children and women were basically standing by.
Meng Daqiang and his wife only had two daughters.
The Meng family has quite a large population. Meng Daqiang is the fourth child, with a group of older brothers and sisters, and his parents are still alive. If everyone sits down for a meal, two tables may not be enough...
"Hey, Xiaoqi is awake? Is your face okay? If this can't be cured, what will happen to the marriage in the county..."
The one who spoke in a sarcastic tone was my aunt-in-law, Sun Fang, and there was a sour taste in her words.
Glancing at his little daughter, Meng Daqiang's expression was not good, even a little cold.
"Are you awake? Does your face still hurt? If not, go back to work tomorrow. You've lost a lot of work points by delaying a day. Isn't it just a facial injury? You've made yourself look like a young lady."
Meng Daqiang muttered unhappily, completely forgetting that before the afternoon, he loved his daughter like a treasure.
"Know."
Her father's attitude changed obviously, but Meng Qidi pulled a stool and sat down indifferently.
She already knew what kind of father this was, the typical guy who wouldn't get up early unless there was something beneficial.
Now that her face is ruined and she is no longer of any use to him, he can turn against her in the blink of an eye.
Glancing at the soup in the bowl in front of her, in which she could clearly count the rice grains, Meng Qidi raised her eyes and scanned the table.
Everyone had a bowl of porridge for dinner, the only difference was that the porridge for the men in the Meng family was probably thicker.
This is the case in almost every household in rural areas. The excuse given by those people is that men do physical work, so how can they not have enough to eat?
There were a few sweet potatoes in a large porcelain bowl with cracked enamel in the middle of the table. Meng Qidi looked at everyone and saw that almost everyone had two sweet potatoes in front of them.
As usual, Meng Qidi only took two sweet potatoes and ate them slowly with the clear soup in front of her without any complaints.
In her previous life, she was imprisoned in the mountains and went hungry for two days. Later, in order to survive, she hid a lot of sweet potatoes underground.
In order to fill our stomachs, we almost always eat raw food, so these things don’t matter as long as we can live freely.
"Xiao Qi, let's discuss something today."
Meng Daqiang drank the porridge in one gulp, put down the bowl, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve, looking like a patriarch.
Meng Qidi was still slowly eating the last sweet potato. "You talk, I listen."
After one afternoon, she had adapted to speaking, but her speaking speed was a little slow.
As the father and daughter talked, everyone in the Meng family looked over.
Meng Daqiang took out a handful of tobacco leaves, rolled them up with paper, lit them with the kerosene lamp, took a deep breath, exhaled a puff of thick smoke, and then slowly spoke.
"Xiao Qi, don't blame me for making such a decision. Your face can't be cured, so the marriage in the county town will be left to your sister."
Meng Daqiang said he wanted to discuss it, but there was no trace of negotiation in his words.
Meng Qidi lowered her head and ate sweet potatoes at the same pace, turning a deaf ear to Meng Daqiang's words.
However, Meng Yuzhen and Zhao Hong, who were standing behind Meng Daqiang, looked at Meng Qidi nervously.
The attitudes of these two people in the family made Meng Daqiang, the head of the family, a little unhappy, and he just knocked on the table.
"See what she does? I have the final say on this matter! It's settled! From now on, Xiaoqi and Yuzhen will exchange marriages!"
Meng Qidi raised her head sharply, her eyes were sharp, and her voice was cold, "What did you say?"
Meng Daqiang was frightened by the look in his little daughter's eyes. He realized that he had lost his composure and immediately put on a fierce face.
"I told you that your sister will go to the county town for you, and you can go to Lingjia Village! Ling Xiao from the Ling family is just right for you, and he has subsidies, so you can bring them back to honor us."
Bang!
Meng Qidi slammed the half sweet potato in her hand into the bowl and stood up coldly, "I won't marry! You can marry whoever you want!"
In this life, she will not sacrifice for this family, nor will she try to please them. They don't deserve it...
Bang!
Meng Daqiang also slapped the table in anger.
"Meng Qidi! How dare you slam the table in front of me? You are really rebelling! You have to marry me even if you don't want to! Even if this matter is brought to the attention of the captain, there will be no dispute!"
These two sisters are so rebellious that they dare to go against him!
Meng Qidi pursed her lips and turned back to her room.
The door was slammed shut, and even a layer of dust fell off...
Meng Daqiang felt ashamed and his hands were shaking with anger as his little daughter made a fool of him in front of the whole Meng family.
"Zhao Hong, don't give her any food tomorrow, or I'll starve her to death!"
Zhao Hong looked at her angry man with an embarrassed look on her face.
"Daqiang, this..."
Meng Yuzhen, who was silent on the side, lowered her head with a bit of pride.
Xiaoqi, why don't you listen? You have to go against me...
