Hearing this, Meng Chenglin and Meng Sheng both raised their heads in surprise.
Not to mention how difficult it was to get a TV and refrigerator in the house, even houses in the county were in short supply. I didn't expect the old man to just ask to sell them all.
Meng Chenglin asked as if to confirm, "Don't think about it anymore?
Even if Huanhuan doesn't want her with her mother, there's still Lele. Why not keep her for him?
It’s easy to sell, but it’s hard to buy it back later!”
Meng Anrong shook his head: "Sold, all sold.
Jiefang still has two old houses in the village, just give them to Lele from now on!"
The old man thought a lot. For now, he had only arrested the person. If his property was confiscated during the trial, he would lose everything.
But he didn't mention this concern.
Meng Sheng interrupted, "Grandpa, if you sell it in a hurry, I guess we won't be able to negotiate a price!"
Meng Anrong took two puffs of his cigarette, his lips trembling, before saying, "Let's sell it for as much as we can. Given the current situation, it's certain that others will lower the price, and we can't just sit here and wait forever!"
Seeing that the man had made up his mind, Meng Chenglin stood up without hesitation and said, "Okay, while there's still some time before dark, I'll go out and ask someone!
Meng Sheng will help clean up here so that people can see it later."
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the yard. The day after tomorrow was his eldest son's engagement party, and he couldn't be late for home, otherwise his wife would be angry with him again.
The people in the room had no time to think about anything else and started to get busy picking up various things.
While Meng Sheng's men kept moving, he kept asking, "Grandpa, where's Meng Yun? Didn't he say he came to the county town with you? Why haven't we seen him?"
Where is Uncle Jiefang? Have you visited him? Are visitors allowed to bring gifts now?"
Meng Anrong simply thought his nephew was kind-hearted, sighed, and patiently replied, "We don't know exactly where he was taken.
All I know is that because he was a public official who knowingly broke the law, and because it involved educated youth from the provincial capital, the impact was too bad, so a special task force was set up, and he was held in solitary confinement, and no visitors were allowed.
As for Meng Yun, Meng Yu sent someone to tell him that his father was being held in the county hospital this afternoon. Meng Yun went there right after receiving the news and hasn't returned yet!"
After hearing this, Meng Sheng was thinking about finding an excuse to go out and send the letter he had written at home. Unexpectedly, as soon as he mentioned Cao Cao, he appeared.
A young man came in from outside the door. He had the bottom of his white shirt tucked into his black pants, a black leather belt around his waist, a pair of fashionable plastic sandals on his feet, and a pair of glasses on his face. His skin was rare in the countryside, very white, and he looked like a gentleman.
It was Meng Yun whom they had just been talking about.
Meng Yun frowned and looked bitter. Seeing that Meng Sheng was here, he was not in the mood to greet him. He found a chair and sat down on it, then closed his eyes and lay motionless as if he was dead.
When old lady Li Chunhua saw her eldest grandson, she quickly dropped what she was holding and approached him anxiously, asking, "How is your father? Has he woken up?"
Meng Anrong also looked worried and continued, "After this bumpy ride, is his injury any problem?"
Without even opening his eyes, Meng Yun replied in a half-hearted voice, "He's been locked up in a solitary ward and hasn't woken up yet. The doctor checked and said there's nothing serious!"
Something happened to his father and uncle, and the support they had behind them was gone. They had to face the wind and rain head-on. After just two days, he felt exhausted both physically and mentally.
After hearing this, the two old men felt relieved and asked if they could cook some food and send it over.
Can someone else take care of him so that my precious grandson Meng Yu can come back and have some rest?
After finding out that none of them worked, he continued to clean up the house.
Meng Sheng just kept his head down and worked, treating himself as invisible, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to control the hatred that was about to overflow in his chest.
The last person I saw before I died in my previous life was Meng Yun.
Although it was said to be the previous life, in fact, only a few days had passed in his consciousness.
Everything is vividly imprinted in my mind, without any fading.
He remembered Meng Yun's ferocious face as he looked at him through the windshield, remembered him driving a BMW towards him at high speed, remembered his body being crushed again and again, and especially remembered the pain that made his soul tremble.
There was bloodshot in his eyes and veins on his hands, but years of prison life had enabled him to control his emotions.
Although his heart was in turmoil, his hands were not at all chaotic as he organized the things.
The other people in the yard were all preoccupied, and no one noticed anything strange about Meng Sheng.
After a while, Meng Chenglin returned to the courtyard with a number of people who were interested in buying things.
Although material resources are much more abundant nowadays, there are not many wealthy people.
There were many people who were not afraid of bad luck and were eager to take advantage of others. He just went out for a walk and said a few words, and soon a group of people gathered around.
The yard suddenly became as lively as a vegetable market at seven or eight o'clock in the morning.
Old Mrs. Meng looked at Meng Le, and the other four men went out to sell things together.
Before dark, except for some clothes and belongings that were kept specially, even the house was sold at a low price after receiving a deposit.
Just waiting for everyone to move out, they will immediately pay the balance and move in.
Meng Chenglin also bought something. He liked the Phoenix brand bicycle that Meng Jiefang rode to and from get off work.
The village has inconvenient transportation with the outside world. With this car, it will be much more convenient to do anything in the future.
I was lucky this time. While driving the ox cart on the way, I actually picked up a neatly wrapped roll of ten-yuan bills, a total of two hundred and eighty yuan.
If you spend forty or fifty yuan to buy an old bicycle, you can still have more than two hundred yuan left.
Meng Sheng was a little disdainful of the person who deliberately lost the money. He was disgusted by everything in the house and kept urging his father to buy a new one, but unfortunately he failed.
Once the transaction is completed, most of the items are taken away.
After seeing off the last buyer, it was already dark.
The kitchen utensils were almost sold out, and cooking was not allowed at home, so Meng Sheng was asked to buy food for everyone.
It was just right that he didn't have to make up an excuse.
He took the lunch box and the letter and went out.
The state-owned restaurants on the street had closed long ago, but the small private restaurants were still open.
Meng Sheng still found a restaurant, ordered some food, went out for a walk, put the letter into the mailbox on the street, then came back to pay and carried the prepared food back to the yard.
After a day of hard work, everyone was exhausted. They just ate a few bites to fill their stomachs, packed up, and went to their rooms to rest.
All the beds have been sold. Fortunately, it's hot now and the house has a cement floor, so it's not too dirty.
Just lay something down on the bed and you can get through the night.
However, no matter how tired they were, the only ones who could fall asleep were Meng Le, who knew nothing, and Meng Chenglin, who had nothing to do with the matter.
The old couple was worried about their two sons who were imprisoned, and they tossed and turned on the floor in anxiety.
Meng Yun's heart was divided into two halves, one half was worried about his father and uncle, and the other half was worried about his own future.
Meng Sheng was not worried or anxious, he was just wondering whether the two Meng Yun brothers would be thrown into jail tomorrow?
He didn't want to see these two people jumping around in front of him at all.
