Several people in the yard were stunned.
Zhao Hong, who hadn't found anyone, heard these words as soon as she entered the yard and spoke anxiously.
"It's impossible. Yuzhen hasn't been home all day today. How could it be her? Even if it's Xiaoqi, it can't be Yuzhen!"
Meng Qidi looked at Zhao Hong with cold eyes, a hint of anger flashing across her eyes. She didn't notice it before her rebirth, and always thought that her mother was just cowardly.
Only now did I realize that people always pick on the weak and always target her. They always blame her for everything.
The wife blamed Xiaoqi as soon as she opened her mouth, and Meng Daqiang also got angry, "My sister-in-law said it herself, how could it be false? My sister-in-law said that she saw Yuzhen sneaking out of Xiaoqi's room, and Yuzhen pushed her!"
"Do you believe what Sun Fang said? Maybe she fell down by herself, so blame Yuzhen!"
"Shut up. Where is Meng Yuzhen? If it's her, you can just ask her and find out."
Old Mrs. Meng was a little angry. She was exhausted after being busy all day. They hadn't even eaten yet, but they started arguing.
Zhao Hong looked embarrassed, "I don't know either. When I got home from work, I saw Xiaoqi at home. Yuzhen probably hasn't finished work yet."
Old Lady Meng glanced at her and said, "We didn't see Xiaoqi when we came back. You were able to see her because I asked her to cook for her grandfather. Did Xiaoqi eat?"
"I just ate." Meng Qidi's voice was cold.
"I was at the reservoir all day today. The villagers there can all testify to that. When I came back, I ran into the grandmother next door. Also, my house was rummaged through today, and I haven't cleaned it up yet. If you don't believe me, you can go and take a look. I can't rummage through my own things, can I?"
Originally, she was too disdainful to explain to Zhao Hong as she didn't want to cause too much trouble.
Zhao Hong looked away awkwardly, "That doesn't have to be Yuzhen."
"What's wrong? Yuzhen accompanied me to the county town to mail something today. Sorry for coming back late." Ge Mei's voice came from the door.
Meng Qidi glanced over when she heard the voice and saw Ge Mei and Meng Yuzhen at the door. They were holding a bag in their hands and looked like they had just returned from the city.
Zhao Hong breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her daughter coming back.
Meng Daqiang asked directly, "Did you really go to the county today? Who knew about this?"
As if frightened by Meng Daqiang, Meng Yuzhen shrank back, "The captain and several educated youth can testify that Sister Ge Mei asked for leave for me, and we went to the city together."
"Why are you going to the city when you can't get a good job?" Meng Daqiang shouted.
Ge Mei protected Meng Yuzhen behind him, "Uncle, what happened? You can't get angry at Yuzhen as soon as you get back. She bought a lot of things for your family today."
Meng Yuzhen quickly handed the bag in her hand over. Zhao Hong took it and quickly opened it. Inside was a pound of brown sugar and two packs of cigarettes.
Ge Mei smiled and explained, "Yuzhen bought this brown sugar for Aunt. Yuzhen said Aunt didn't look well recently. The cigarettes are for Uncle and Uncle Meng."
"It's really not you who pushed your aunt away?" Old Mrs. Meng's eyes were somewhat sharp.
"What do you mean by pushing my aunt? What happened to my aunt?" Meng Yuzhen's face was filled with surprise and worry.
Meng Qidi on the side sneered. It was almost certainly Meng Yuzhen's doing, otherwise why would she hold Ge Mei's hand so tightly?
If what the aunt said was true, then what on earth did Meng Yuzhen go to her room for? Was this related to Ge Mei?
Meng Qidi remained calm, her eyes fixed on the two of them, a trace of confusion in her heart.
Zhao Hong sighed, "Your aunt fell down and lost a lot of blood. She is now in the town's health center."
"Ah? Why are you so careless? Is the child... okay?" Meng Yuzhen's face was full of worry.
The old lady exhaled, "The child is saved, but I have to lie down to take care of the pregnancy."
It’s a good thing the family was divided, otherwise the daughters-in-law would have made trouble again.
Yuzhen has the testimony of the educated youth, so it is probably not her. Then Sun Fang is lying. Maybe she really fell down and blamed Yuzhen for it.
Thinking of this, Old Lady Meng waved her hand and said, "Everyone, go away. After dinner, the fourth child will bring some food to the eldest child. Have the children eaten yet?"
Without paying any more attention to Ge Mei, the old lady turned around and went into the house.
Meng Daqiang glanced at Zhao Hong unhappily and went straight to the next room.
Zhao Hong was also embarrassed, "Comrade Ge Mei, you haven't eaten yet, I'll go heat up your food."
After Zhao Hong and the others left, only Meng Qidi and three others were left in the yard. Meng Qidi turned around and prepared to go back to her room.
"Xiao Qi!"
Meng Qidi kept walking, and Ge Mei became anxious, "Xiao Qi, I want to ask you something, your jade pendant..."
Meng Qidi narrowed her eyes, paused, and turned to look at her, "So Meng Yuzhen really turned my house upside down today?"
Why did Ge Mei ask about the jade pendant? Did she know the secret of the jade pendant?
How much did she participate in the past life? Or was she just greedy for money? But the jade pendant didn't look worth much, did it?
"Nonsense, when did I ever rummage through your house?" Meng Yuzhen's face turned red with anger.
Meng Qidi became suspicious of Ge Mei. She was too lazy to pay attention to Meng Yuzhen who was yelling. Her eyes fell on Ge Mei. Suddenly, she couldn't remember how she got together with Ge Mei.
In her previous life, it seemed that it was always Meng Yuzhen who told her that she and Ge Mei had a very good relationship and that they were good friends.
Ge Mei smiled gently, "Xiao Qi, don't get me wrong, I just want to buy some jade in private. I heard Yuzhen say you have it, so I want to take it. If you really have a jade pendant, I'll give you a hundred dollars to buy it, okay?"
Meng Qidi chuckled and looked away, "Do you believe everything she said? Why do you think I have the jade pendant? How can the Meng family, who are so poor, have such good things? Even if they do, it's not my turn, right?"
Ge Mei was stunned, "Xiao Qi, you don't have to be nervous..."
Meng Qidi stretched out her hand and turned it around. "I'm really not nervous, and there's no need to be nervous. If I don't have it, then I don't have it. You don't have to be so sure that I have it."
She asked why Meng Yuzhen searched her house, it turned out she came for Ge Mei. Ge Mei's expression clearly showed that she was sure she must have it, and she insisted on taking it away...
How did she know about her jade pendant? Did she know about it in her previous life? Did she know there was a space inside?
Meng Qidi lowered her eyes slightly. Was it also her instruction that Meng Yuzhen took away her jade pendant in her previous life?
She suddenly became curious. In her previous life, she was plotted against by Meng Yuzhen. What role did Ge Mei play in it?
Ge Mei glanced around at her. Meng Qidi was wearing thin clothes, with her collar half open and empty. The jade pendant that used to hang on her clothes was gone.
A hint of darkness flashed across Ge Mei's eyes, and then she smiled and said, "Xiao Qi, you really misunderstood. If there is no such thing, then there is no such thing. It's getting late. Yuzhen, please take me back."
"Don't you want to eat?" Meng Yuzhen asked hurriedly.
"No, I'm going to go back to the educated youth camp as soon as possible, otherwise it will be hard to say what will happen if the gate is closed."
As soon as Meng Yuzhen and Ge Mei left, Meng Qidi walked towards the pond next door.
Here, the two walked to the intersection, and Ge Mei called Meng Yuzhen, "Pay more attention to Xiaoqi and see if she is different from usual. If there is anything wrong, remember to tell me. I am doing this for your own good."
Although Meng Yuzhen was a little confused, she nodded slightly.
