Chapter 90 Returning Empty-Handed



When their two daughters came back, Meng Daqiang and his wife were overjoyed and paced back and forth at the gate restlessly.

The first ones to arrive home were Meng Qidi and Ling Xiao. Meng Qidi pushed Ling Xiao over with a bag in her hand.

Zhao Hong was the first one to see it. She originally thought it was Meng Yuzhen, but when she saw Meng Qidi, the smile on her face froze and she looked away.

But when Meng Daqiang saw the two of them, he quickly came over and said, "You two didn't walk here, did you? It's inconvenient for these two children, and you didn't know to let us go pick them up."

"It's not far anyway. We're coming back from town."

Ling Xiao handed the things in his hand to Meng Daqiang, "Dad, this is what we bought for you and mom."

"You are so polite. Come back and pick up something."

Meng Daqiang scolded him, but he took it with a smile, glanced at the things in the bag, and then smiled, "Why spend this money on cigarettes?"

"The cigarettes are a specialty of Jing City. I specially asked my comrades to send them to me. The silk scarf inside is for Mom. It is also the most popular one in Jing City this year."

He noticed his mother-in-law's indifference towards Xiaoqi. Xiaoqi had not originally come here intending to take anything.

These things were sent from Beijing before.

And her own? Zhao Hong leaned over to take a look, and seeing the silk scarf in the bag in the man's hand, she was somewhat tempted.

"Xiao Qi gave it to me, right?"

Meng Daqiang took out the silk scarf from the bag and shook it. "It's so beautiful, only this girl would be willing to give it up. If it was Yuzhen, she would have hidden it long ago."

Zhao Hong was originally somewhat tempted, but when she heard what Meng Daqiang said, her face turned cold and she looked a little unhappy.

"Don't talk nonsense. Yuzhen came back from the county. Are you afraid that she didn't bring enough things for you?"

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Ling Xiao in the wheelchair with some disdain. How could he be compared to a cripple like that?

"Okay, then you wait for your daughter to give it to you, and I'll give this thing to my mother."

Meng Daqiang is not a good-tempered person, so he put the scarf back into the bag.

Zhao Hong was very angry at his action. She saw the car coming from a distance and sneered smugly.

"Yuzhen is back, please get out of the way and don't block the road."

Meng Qidi didn't bother to look at Zhao Hong's expression, and looked at Meng Daqiang, "Dad, let's go in."

"Let's go, let's go. I'll go in too, so people won't despise me." Meng Daqiang turned around and followed.

The three of them went in, but Zhao Hong ignored them and was busy tidying up her clothes. Her daughter was getting married in the county town, and she was going back with her son-in-law today, so she couldn't embarrass herself.

Ling Xiao was sent into the main room, where he was chatting with old lady Meng Daqiang. Meng Qidi handed over the two pairs of leather shoes she bought for the two elders and then went out.

Old Man Meng held the shoes helplessly and said, "Why is this girl so silent again? She just walked out without saying a word."

Old Lady Meng glanced at him calmly and said, "That's enough. It's enough as long as this girl can remember you, an old man."

Old Man Meng glanced at Ling Xiao who was talking to Meng Daqiang next to him, and said softly, "Yuzhen also came back today, she must remember it too."

Old Lady Meng chuckled, "Just take a look..."

At the door, it was not the Dongfeng car as before, but a shabby Santana that came to a stop, wobbling.

Zhao Hong stroked the hem of her clothes again.

The car door opened and Meng Yuzhen, Nie Hai and Nie Zheng, father and son, got out of the car.

Nie Hai was quietly instructing his son when he caught a glimpse of Zhao Hong at the door and quickly said, "Mother-in-law."

Nie Zheng reluctantly called out, "Mom."

Being called mom by a city dweller, Zhao Hong was flattered and quickly went to greet them, "My dear relative, Xiao Nie, come in as soon as you are here."

Nie Hai closed the car door and walked around the front of the car, while Nie Zheng followed behind with his head lowered.

Zhao Hong couldn't help but look at the two people's empty hands.

When he was about to enter the door, Nie Hai stopped and turned to look at Meng Yuzhen beside the car, "Yuzhen, aren't you going in?"

Zhao Hong came to her senses and shouted, "Yuzhen, why are you standing there? Come in quickly. Why are you so timid at your own door?"

Meng Yuzhen forced a smile and walked over slowly. When she saw Meng Qidi at the door, her face changed slightly and she hurried over.

He glanced at Meng Qidi with some disdain, pushed her aside and walked in.

Meng Qidi raised her eyebrows. If she hadn't seen it wrong just now, it seemed that Meng Yuzhen was a little afraid of that Nie family member...

Is there a quarrel? Otherwise, why would you bring the man's father with you when you go back to your parents' home?

Meng Qidi turned around and followed in. She came out just to watch the fun.

In two days, if Meng Yuzhen was a little smart, she would have discovered that there was something wrong with Nie Zheng.

She had just thought that Meng Yuzhen would make a scene right at the gate, but she hadn't expected that Nie Zheng's father was so intimidating that he intimidated Meng Yuzhen with just a look.

When Meng Qidi slowly returned to the main room and sat down next to Ling Xiao, a conversation had already begun in the room.

Ling Xiao tapped the armrest of the wheelchair with his fingers. Meng Qidi glanced at him and then looked away indifferently.

Old Man Meng glanced at the family who came in empty-handed, and his expression changed slightly. Returning empty-handed?

Old Mrs. Meng's expression remained unchanged as she continued talking to Nie Hai and his son.

Meng Daqiang glanced at the father and son, with a trace of disdain in his eyes. He said that they were city people and they were returning home empty-handed.

Look at how polite Xiaoqi and his wife are. If you ask him, the city people are the most stingy. Don’t be fooled by the dowry they sent last time. It looked generous, but in the end, they took it all away, and the family didn’t get a penny...

"Oh, I heard that the two girls came back today and brought a lot of things back for the old lady?"

Sun Fang's loud voice came from the door, and the next second she came in with a bulging belly. Her belly was not big, but she was holding her waist.

Sun Fang was followed by her two sons, Meng Xiaopang and Meng Xiaofu. When they saw Meng Qidi in the room, the two little guys' eyes lit up. If it weren't for Ling Xiao who was beside Meng Qidi, they would have rushed over directly.
