The abacus beads had already jumped onto Qi Mengmeng's face.
However, Qi Mengmeng only thought about it briefly and decided to agree.
Grandpa Qi chose that small courtyard because it was convenient for storing things nearby. In fact, it was not convenient to live there. Even after 20 or 30 years, the value of that small courtyard would not appreciate much.
Since Ge Tiezhu is willing to be the scapegoat, she will oblige him.
However, Qi Huilan was somewhat reluctant, as she felt that the yard was left by Grandpa Qi and had extraordinary significance.
But she did not refute Qi Mengmeng's opinion on the spot, she just said she would consider it.
Returning to Qi Mengmeng's room, Qi Huilan told Qi Mengmeng that she hoped to keep the house as a thought.
Qi Mengmeng said very practically, "Mom, Ge Tiezhu thinks that our Qi family left something behind, and he won't give up until he finds it. If we keep the small courtyard, he might go there often to cause trouble. Since he agreed to exchange it, we will return it to him. This way, it will seem that we don't have anything in our hands."
Qi Mengmeng didn't want to underestimate the evil of human nature. Qi Huilan's background was indeed difficult to talk about.
Anyway, there is nothing in that small yard. It can remove the suspicion that the Qi family is rich and get a bigger yard. Why not change it?
Qi Huilan knew that Qi Mengmeng was right, but she just couldn't get over it in her heart.
"Mom, since we can switch with Ge Tiezhu, we can certainly switch with others. Now everyone's housing is not spacious, and the courtyard we live in is in a good location. There must be someone who wants to switch. Let's let Ge Tiezhu switch first, and then find someone else to switch. This way, Ge Tiezhu won't be able to cause us any trouble in the future."
When Qi Mengmeng finished speaking, she felt that she was truly a genius.
Qi Huilan tapped Qi Mengmeng's forehead with her index finger: "You are the one with many ideas and are very clever."
Qi Huilan stuck out her tongue. She wasn't born smart, but it was something she acquired through hard work in her previous life.
If you can be a delicate flower and enjoy the sunshine and rain, who would be willing to experience the storm? Everything is done out of necessity.
"But who should I switch with?" Qi Huilan was a little worried. She didn't want to live in this yard for even a minute longer.
"I'll go to the street office tomorrow and ask Uncle Liu." Qi Mengmeng said after thinking for a while.
Qi Huilan shook her head: "I'll go ask in a few days. If you go to the street office, Sister Wang will definitely urge you to go to the countryside."
At this point, Qi Huilan looked at Qi Mengmeng's expression and said, "Mengmeng, I think Guizhi is a good kid. I didn't bother to ask about the marriage application today."
Today, after get off work, Qi Huilan went to take a look at Gu Guizhi's courtyard and thought it was pretty good. She just needed to bring her bedding from home and she could move in directly.
Although Qi Huilan disliked the bedding at home, no one had so much cloth at that time, so she could only take it apart, wash it, and move it over.
"Mom has agreed with Guizhi today that you will go to get the certificate the day after tomorrow." Qi Huilan's sudden words made Qi Mengmeng's eyes widen.
"Mom, when did you say that?"
Qi Huilan held Qi Mengmeng's hand, her tone full of emotion: "Mengmeng, Mom is going to get a divorce tomorrow. The weather is not good. Guizhi said that he would take you shopping tomorrow and get the marriage certificate the day after tomorrow."
Qi Mengmeng was stunned for a moment before she said, "Mom, didn't you say we have to apply for marriage first?"
Qi Huilan couldn't hold back the smile on her face, and her mouth was wide open: "Gu Guizhi had already applied for marriage before coming here this time."
"What?" Qi Mengmeng didn't expect that Gu Guizhi was already planning to marry her before he came.
Qi Huilan hadn't expected this either, but since things had already been settled, there was no need to worry about the details.
"Tomorrow at 9 o'clock, Guizhi will come to pick you up at home and take you to buy a watch. He also wanted to buy you a bicycle and a sewing machine, but I didn't let him. You will be joining the army in the future, and if you buy them now, you will have to leave them at home and it will be difficult to bring them with you. You can buy them when you get there."
"You will get the certificate the day after tomorrow. Guizhi can only stay for one more day before he has to go back. He will apply for a family housing after he returns. When the application is completed, he will send you a letter, and you can go there to follow the army."
"Mengmeng, you have been an honest person since you were a child. There are all kinds of people in the family compound. If they are easy to talk to, don't take it too seriously. If they bully you, don't let them give in."
Qi Huilan paused for a moment before saying, "Your biological father is in the same military district. If there is anything you can't solve, you can go find him."
Qi Mengmeng, who was a little sleepy at first, opened her eyes immediately, "My biological dad?"
Qi Huilan nodded and said, "Yes, his name is Qi Zhijun, and he is now a regiment commander. It is said that he has a wife, but no children. He will definitely take care of you."
Qi Mengmeng originally thought that she took her mother's surname, but she didn't expect that her biological father's surname was also Qi. However, they hadn't been in contact for so many years, so who knew what the situation would be like when they met. But in order to reassure Qi Huilan, she nodded.
"Mom, don't worry. I can handle any problem myself. Didn't you say Gu Guizhi is a good guy? He will definitely protect me."
"Guizhi won't stay at home every day. If you have something you can't solve, go find Qi Zhijun. He will definitely take care of you."
"Qi Zhijun is your grandfather's adopted son. Just keep this to yourself and don't tell anyone." Qi Huilan reminded Qi Mengmeng, "Even for your grandfather's sake, he will take care of you."
Qi Mengmeng's eyes were full of curiosity. How did Qi Huilan and Qi Zhijun break up back then? Why did Qi Huilan marry Ge Tiezhu?
But Qi Huilan had no idea how to solve her problem.
The mother and daughter talked for half the night. Qi Mengmeng couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep in a daze. Qi Huilan didn't fall asleep until around three in the morning and woke up before six.
Qi Huilan went to the kitchen to make a pot of corn porridge and steamed a few steamed buns made of three kinds of flour.
Ge Tiezhu came back very late last night, and he didn't even get up after Qi Huilan prepared dinner.
Qi Huilan went to knock on the door and Ge Tiezhu opened it with a frown on his face.
"I agree to change houses. You can move out after completing the formalities." Qi Huilan said and went to eat.
Ge Wenling, who had just woken up, happened to hear this and was stunned for a moment before asking, "What do you mean by moving out?"
Qi Huilan ignored her. Ge Tiezhu didn't want to explain and went back to the room to put on clothes.
Ge Wenling didn't even wash her face. She followed Qi Huilan and asked, "Mom, what procedures did you just say?"
Qi Huilan didn't even raise her head: "Ask your father."
In the past, she and Ge Tiezhu were husband and wife, and she took good care of Ge Wenling. But now they are getting divorced, so who will take care of her?
Ge Wenling was a little flustered. She waited at Ge Tiezhu's door and asked him what was going on.
Ge Tiezhu was annoyed and had lost patience with Ge Wenling. He just whispered that he wanted a divorce and moved out, and asked Ge Wenling to come back at noon to pack up her things.
Ge Wenling screamed, "I don't agree."
