"Are you relieved now?"
Seeing Meng Qidi coming ashore, Ling Xiao felt helpless. He had looked at the pond over there and it was clearly stagnant water.
After what she did that day, the water became clear. I guess she put some medicine in it.
But Xiao Chengzi kept yelling, insisting that she was a fairy sister and that she was transformed.
"Yes, they have all taken root. By the way, do you know anyone who can help buy some fish fry and put them in there to try? You can put them in the upper and lower ponds."
Meng Qidi walked to the well to wash her hands, and Ling Cheng jumped over to help shake the water.
"Sister Fairy, put some fish in there. When they grow big, we can sell them for money."
"Hush."
Meng Qidi made a gesture to keep quiet, "You can't tell anyone about this, okay? The fish has grown big, so we can eat it secretly."
Although it is now the end of the great chaos and the control is not as strict as in previous years, if you keep shouting like this, you will definitely be arrested directly.
Ling Cheng nodded quickly, imitated the small gesture of keeping quiet, and lowered his voice.
"Got it, Fairy Sister, this is also our secret, right?"
Meng Qidi washed her hands and nodded, "Yes, it's a secret, don't tell anyone."
The little girl nodded quickly.
Ling Xiao looked at the two of them with amusement, it was still a little secret.
"I want someone to bring back some fish. Do you want one kind, or all kinds?"
Meng Qidi frowned slightly, "I don't have any requirements, just do whatever is easy to do. By the way, is Auntie feeling better?"
"It's all right."
Since the old lady was fine, Meng Qidi planned to go back. In fact, she felt that the old lady was avoiding her last time.
Otherwise, if it were any other time, I would have talked to her a long time ago.
"Xiao Qi, let's go later. Stay for dinner before going back. I want to talk to you."
The old lady's voice came from the room.
Ling Xiao turned his head and looked at Meng Qidi.
Meng Qidi chuckled, "Then may I trouble Comrade Ling to cook?"
Talk to her? I guess the mystery of why she was missing last time will be solved.
The two of them didn't go anywhere else, but just stayed by the single-plank bridge. Ling Cheng considerately moved stools over for them before going back to help his uncle light the fire.
"Xiao Qi." Grandma Wang paused, "I'm sorry about the last time you came to our house."
Meng Qidi looked at her and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
She invited her to dinner, definitely not to apologize.
"Okay, then I'll ask directly. I heard that you wanted to change the marriage in your family?"
The old lady also became straightforward, and even liked Meng Qidi's straightforward personality, without any hesitation.
When she talked to Yuzhen a few days ago, she was hesitant and couldn't finish her words. She almost had to guess what she was saying. Obviously, that girl wasn't like this before, how could she become like this...
"Pfft, this is what Meng Yuzhen told you, right? She is the first to complain."
Meng Qidi was happy and asked why the old lady's attitude had changed so much.
The old lady couldn't see Meng Qidi's expression, but she heard a hint of disdain in her words.
"She said that you fell in love with Ling Xiao at first sight and were willing to marry him even at the cost of exchanging relatives."
The old lady didn't say it directly. Meng Yuzhen said that Meng Qidi's marriage was for the little subsidy from the Meng family.
She thought about it for a long time these two days and realized that she had been led astray by Meng Yuzhen. Xiaoqi didn't know how much subsidy Ling Xiao could get.
You have to know that Xiaoqi was originally destined to marry a city dweller. Once she marries him, she will be a city dweller. Anyone with a normal mind will definitely not do this.
Then, there is only one reason, that is, she likes Ling Xiao. Thinking of this, she felt comfortable in her heart, as long as it is not for money.
Meng Qidi raised her eyebrows. "She didn't tell me about the injury on my face. She first destroyed my face to make my dad disappointed in me, and then persuaded my mom to let me agree to the marriage swap. Didn't she tell me about this?"
The old lady was stunned, then a little nervous, "Xiao Qi, is your face injured? I'm sorry, I can't see it and don't know about it."
She couldn't see it and didn't know about it.
"It's okay, it's healed now, there's no scar left."
Meng Qidi shook her head, "Aunt, although I don't know why she did this, I can tell her about my later visit to Ling Xiao."
The old lady didn't want to listen anymore. She didn't know who to listen to, but she always felt that Xiaoqi was more trustworthy.
It’s impossible that my son has chosen the wrong person, right?
"Brother Xiao refused to exchange the bride at that time. You know, I told him that the Ling family needs a normal person. Even if he can ignore himself, you and Xiao Chengzi will still need someone to take care of you, right?"
Meng Qidi didn't tell everything. "Brother Xiao agreed. However, he said that if I want a divorce after a year, he will agree."
Meng Qidi did not tell the truth about the marriage. She probably thought the old lady would be unhappy if she told her.
The old lady was a little surprised, "You don't like Ling Xiao?"
"I've never seen Ling Xiao before."
Meng Qidi was smart enough not to answer the question directly. If she believed Meng Yuzhen's words, she would probably say that she didn't like him and had no feelings for him, and the old lady would start to have wild thoughts again.
Was she wrong?
The old lady tightened her grip, "Then why do you have to..."
Meng Qidi chuckled, "Because I want to leave the Meng family. This time it's a marriage exchange. Will you marry me to a fool next time, or sell me to the mountains?"
Old Lady Meng was silent. Indeed, girls these days have no say in their own marriages. In many families with many girls, some actually sell their daughters...
Meng Qidi took a deep breath, "The team refused to split up the family. I thought about it and decided that the only way to have the best of both worlds is to marry him. Even if we don't divorce in the future and Ling Xiao's leg can't be healed, it's better to live with him for the rest of my life than to stay in the Meng family."
