Getting off the car at the village entrance, Meng Qidi waved her hand while carrying her things, not wanting Ling Xiao to see her off.
As soon as Ling Xiao drove away, Meng Qidi went back with her things.
"Xiao Qi, are you back with your clothes on? Congratulations."
"Thank you." Meng Qidi smiled and took a few candies from the bag and handed them over.
It was the first time in her life that someone blessed her, and Meng Qidi felt a little embarrassed.
"I heard from your father that you'll be getting married in early May?"
"Well, come and have a drink then."
"That's for sure, right."
The aunt glanced around and lowered her voice, "I heard from your father that your in-laws gave a lot of betrothal gifts?"
Meng Qidi was slightly stunned, "What do you mean?"
"I heard that your family is going to build a house after the division. Your father is the laziest in the team, so how can he have the money? He said that the house is your betrothal money. He has spent your betrothal money. What will he do with the dowry in the future?"
Meng Qidi twitched her lips slightly, "He doesn't need to worry about the dowry..."
This excuse solved the problem of where he would get the money to build the house.
The aunt was stunned, then laughed dryly, "Daqiang is lucky, he found two good sons-in-law."
"She's a good girl."
Meng Qidi chuckled. Considering that Meng Daqiang had been performing well recently, she did not expose his lies.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's better to have a daughter or raise a daughter."
The aunt smiled. Meng Daqiang had two daughters and they were already preparing to build a house. They had sons and they were going to find wives for them. The whole family would live in one nest...
Thinking of this, she also felt uncomfortable...
Meng Qidi smiled at her and walked towards home. She met a few children on the way and gave a few to each of them.
When they got home, Zhao Hong saw that she had already distributed a lot of candy, and she felt distressed, "Child, you can't be so wasteful, you should put some peanuts, beans, red dates, etc. in it."
Besides, you're not getting married now, so why would you give me candy now?
"That's enough, as long as the child is happy, why say so much?"
Meng Daqiang looked impatient. He came back earlier than Xiaoqi and this time he finally found the bricks.
Old Lady Meng glanced at her daughter-in-law and said, "Everyone should say less. Xiaoqi will keep the candy for the wedding. Okay, Xiaoqi has been walking for a whole day and is tired. Go back and rest."
Meng Qidi didn't hesitate and went straight back to her room with her things. The children followed her excitedly.
The old lady had spoken, and Zhao Hong could only watch Meng Qidi leave without even taking the candy in her hand.
Meng Yuzhen on the side stared at Meng Qidi's back with jealousy. Everything she had now was just what she didn't want. When someone from the city came, she would be more glorious than her.
Everyone in the family was surrounding Meng Qidi. Meng Yuzhen was so angry that she walked out.
I met Meng Feng at the intersection, who was walking towards the educated youth point. "It's just right that Yuzhen is here."
"What's wrong, uncle?"
"The school has announced the number of places, and Comrade Ge Mei has been admitted. I just happened to meet you, so tell her to report to the school tomorrow."
Knowing that the two had a good relationship, Meng Feng didn't plan to make a second trip.
Meng Yuzhen took the letter in a daze and stared at it for a long time until the captain left. She came to her senses and was about to go to the educated youth point when she stopped for some unknown reason.
Thinking that she didn't get in but Ge Mei did, and that she also had such a beautiful educated youth friend, she suddenly didn't want to give it to Ge Mei anymore.
She is a bit busy today, how about bringing it over tomorrow?
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she saw Ge Mei coming out of the educated youth point. Meng Yuzhen took a deep breath, suppressed the jealousy in her heart, and went to greet her.
"Sister Ge Mei, the school's notice has arrived."
Ge Mei glanced at her and asked, "Why did you send it?"
Meng Yuzhen handed over the notice in her hand, "The captain was busy and saw me coming, so he asked me to bring it to you."
Ge Mei took it, his expression unchanged, "Thank you, it's getting late, I won't let you in."
Compared to before, Ge Mei's attitude was a little colder.
Meng Yuzhen obviously felt it, she lowered her head and bit her lip lightly, "Well, then you should rest early."
Didn't she just ask who that man was? Ge Mei actually treated her like this.
As if she just realized her attitude, Ge Mei hurriedly explained, "Yuzhen, don't get me wrong, I'm just worried that it's not safe for you to go back. Meng Erliu has been hanging around here these days, and I guess he's short of money."
Meng Yuzhen's face changed slightly. She quickly said goodbye to Ge Mei and went back quickly.
She was really a little afraid of Meng Erliu.
Watching Meng Yuzhen's leaving, Ge Mei's face darkened. If she was not mistaken, Meng Yuzhen wanted to go back?
So she plans to withhold this notice?
Meng family.
After giving each of the children a handful of candy and sending them away, Meng Qidi put the candy and clothes into the space.
I went out and went straight to the pond next door.
The foundation had been laid long ago, and the pond was really enclosed. Meng Daqiang was very quick, and of the bricks he went out to look for in the morning, he had already brought back a lot of them in the afternoon.
"Is this enough?" Meng Qidi asked.
"It's not enough. I need to find more. Your grandfather also needs bricks, and I need to find cement boards tomorrow..."
Meng Daqiang sighed. Building a house was not easy. He didn’t dare to go out and play cards these days.
If he loses, he won't be able to build a house. That would be so embarrassing. I guess everyone in the village would laugh at him.
"Is there a guardrail here? Otherwise the pond in the yard is too unsafe."
Meng Qidi pointed at the pond and said.
Meng Daqiang frowned, "You're right, we have to fence it off, otherwise we'll really fall in when we get up at night."
"By the way, Dad, I have something to remind you."
"What's the matter?" Meng Daqiang asked nervously.
He is now particularly convinced of Xiaoqi. This girl always discovers things that he has not noticed.
"Has everyone in the village been saying these days that the money you used to build the house is our betrothal money? Dad, my grandparents and I are fine and we will definitely not complain, but I'm not sure about that for my sister..."
Meng Daqiang frowned, thinking that Yuzhen had been going against him these days, this matter might be difficult to say.
Meng Qidi explained what happened and went back.
She didn't mean to mess with Meng Yuzhen. She wasn't that free to keep an eye on her every day.
I was just afraid that the woman wouldn't be scared after being beaten and would do something strange. What if she told others that the betrothal money was with the old man?
I guess everyone in the village is suspecting that Meng Daqiang is engaging in speculation and capitalism, and is making a lot of money secretly.
Meng Daqiang has no money left, so he definitely can’t split up the family…
After being reminded by his daughter, Meng Daqiang washed his hands and went straight to find Meng Yuzhen. He couldn't let Meng Yuzhen ruin things.
As soon as she arrived at the door of her house, Meng Yuzhen was scolded by Meng Daqiang for no reason. She was furious. She not only hated Meng Qidi, but also resented Meng Daqiang and his wife.
After Meng Daqiang finished speaking, he went to find his parents. He had to say something nice.
Fortunately, Xiaoqi reminded him, otherwise if this was discovered, he would be arrested by the patrol team.
It's not easy to make money these days, and no one knows when this will end. He is obviously lucky in terms of wealth.
Meng Yuzhen stared at the yard with resentment, turned around and left unwillingly, and didn't even eat dinner.
The more they told him not to speak, the more he insisted on speaking!
