"After we register, he will send the betrothal gift and take my things to his house. Then we won't have the wedding." He Meina said it very naturally, without any intention of hiding anything.
He's mother frowned and said, "Give the betrothal gift first, and then go to register." She left no room for negotiation and turned around to do the colon cleanse.
He Meina bit her lip. Her mother was on guard against her. Without her household registration booklet in her hands, it would be inconvenient for her to do anything in the future. But she couldn't be too anxious now. If her mother found out, it would be all over. She would find a reason to send her mother out in the afternoon.
At noon, Zhang Juan came to eat. While He's mother was not paying attention, He Meina whispered a few words to Zhang Juan, and Zhang Juan nodded.
While eating, Zhang Juan pretended to say casually, "I heard that the supply and marketing department sold eggs for five cents each today, and many people went to buy them. Mom, did you go?"
"Really? I don't know. These people in the yard look down on our family more and more. They didn't even tell me about this. You guys eat first, I'll go and take a look." He's mother ran to the kitchen with a basket and ran out. At that time, eggs were only 7 cents each, and 5 cents was too cheap.
He Meina watched He's mother go out, and hurried to their room to look through the household registration book, and found the key to open the cabinet where He's mother kept her things.
Then I heard Zhang Juan's voice, "Mom, why are you here?"
"What the hell, I forgot to take the money." He's mother just went out, felt her pocket, and realized she forgot to take the money, so she hurried over.
Zhang Juan was so scared that her heart was in her throat.
He Meina's hands were shaking. She picked up a cloth bag from the cabinet, opened it, and found the household registration book inside. There was a lot of change inside. She stuffed the bag into her arms, jumped down, and came face to face with He's mother who had come in.
Mother He was startled when she saw He Meina, and then she saw the cabinet door open and asked, "What are you looking for, little girl?"
"I didn't translate anything." He Meina's fingers were shaking with nervousness.
He's mother jumped onto the kang in two steps. He Meina took the opportunity to rush out of the house and quickly closed the door. He's mother saw that the bag was gone, "He Meina!" She called out sharply, jumped off the kang quickly, and grabbed He Meina.
He Meina quickly closed the door, but He's mother was a step slower and bumped into the door. She felt dizzy and her nose bled. She screamed and pounded on the door hard, "He Meina! Open the door!"
"Give me the padlock." He Meina used her body to push against the door. He's mother roared madly in the room and banged on the door hard. "He Meina, if you dare to steal things from our house, I will tear you apart!"
He's mother knew that He Meina must want the household registration book, because she had just asked for it. Why did she want the household registration book? She definitely didn't want her family to take her betrothal gift. How could He's mother agree to that? She was so angry that she went crazy.
Zhang Juan crouched down and handed over the padlock. She still had to stay at home and didn't dare let He's mother see her and He Meina together.
He Meina picked up the padlock, quickly locked the door, went into the house, picked up the luggage she had packed long ago, and ran away.
He's mother was so angry that she slammed her body against the door and shouted, "Damn He Meina, I'm going to break your legs. Zhang Juan, you're dead, go after her!"
Zhang Juan seemed to have just reacted and ran out to chase after him.
"Idiot, idiot, let him out first!" He's mother yelled frantically.
Zhang Juan ran out of the door as if she didn't hear anything. Seeing He Meina's fleeing back, she hurriedly chased after her.
He Meina saw that it was Zhang Juan who was chasing after her, and she didn't stop. The two of them ran to the main road.
Zhang Juan panted, "Where are you going? Are you going to that Xiao Liu's place?"
He Meina shook her head. "I have a place to live, you don't have to worry about me." She took out twenty yuan from her pocket and stuffed it into Zhang Juan's hand. "Bear with it at night, just think of being bitten by a mad dog."
Zhang Juan nodded immediately. She knew that even if it was a ghost, she had to endure it because her mother was waiting for the life-saving money.
He Meina stopped a car, got in and ran away.
