This price exceeded Qi Mengmeng's expectations. It seems that this is the reason why Aunt Lu has not changed her job.
Although Qi Mengmeng wants to change jobs now, she doesn't want to be a sucker.
"Aunt Lu, do you understand the difference between your job and mine?" Qi Mengmeng asked.
Aunt Lu has worked in the factory for so many years, she must know this, but her family is short of money now, so she can only ask for this price.
Qi Mengmeng could tell from Aunt Lu's flickering eyes that she knew everything, but she just sold it that way.
"Aunt Lu, I really want to switch jobs with you. If you want to change, let's talk about it."
Aunt Lu's eyes fell on Qi Mengmeng's belly and she licked her lips.
Qi Mengmeng noticed her gaze and said calmly, "My belly is big, but I have other options. I don't have to change jobs."
After all, she is not short of money, and she changed jobs just to have something to do every day. But if Aunt Lu insists on the price she said, Qi Mengmeng thinks it's better to forget it.
Aunt Lu couldn't make a decision for a moment.
Qi Mengmeng looked at her disappointedly and said, "Aunt Lu, you can come and see me again if you are sure. I am in the bakery. My name is Qi Mengmeng."
After she said that, she turned and left.
Although it didn't work out, she was not very disappointed. At worst she could just stop working for a while.
Qi Mengmeng walked all the way back home. After her belly grew bigger, she no longer rode a bicycle to work. She just strolled home after get off work every day as exercise.
Just as she reached the entrance of the alley, she saw Aunt Gao coming out of her house with a bad expression on her face.
Qi Mengmeng was not familiar with her and just nodded as a greeting.
Aunt Gao grabbed Qi Mengmeng's arm and said, "Mengmeng, are you about to give birth?"
Qi Mengmeng was caught off guard and quickly leaned against the wall to avoid falling. She glared at the other person and spoke rudely, "Auntie, since you knew that my belly was big, why did you suddenly grab me? I almost fell."
When Aunt Gao saw Qi Mengmeng leaning to the side, she was also startled, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her stand firm.
However, Qi Mengmeng's words were rude, so Aunt Gao simply let go of her hand.
"I'm afraid you might fall, so I'm trying to help you up, aren't I?"
Qi Mengmeng rolled her eyes in anger at her way of putting the blame on herself.
"If Auntie hadn't pulled me just now, I wouldn't have almost fallen."
After she finished speaking, she was about to leave. Aunt Gao reached out to her again. Qi Mengmeng was prepared and was not caught by her, but she was still angry.
"Auntie Gao, you didn't knock me down just now, are you going to make it up to me now?"
Aunt Gao forced a smile and said, "Look at what you said. What kind of person am I?"
Qi Mengmeng didn't want to waste time talking to the other party, so she simply said, "Auntie, if you have anything to talk to me about, just tell me directly."
Aunt Gao looked at Qi Mengmeng's belly, the smile on her face was uglier than crying, and she said, "I see your belly is getting bigger and bigger, and you don't have any other relatives here, so I'll take care of you during the confinement period. You don't have to give me more, eight, no, ten yuan, and the money for buying groceries is extra."
Qi Mengmeng directly refused: "No, my mother will come to take care of me."
Once Aunt Gao had said what she wanted to say, it would be easy for her to say the rest.
"We don't know when your mother will come. It's such a long way. We are neighbors. I can take care of you." Aunt Gao looked like she had good things for Qi Mengmeng, but in fact, her eyes were full of calculations.
Qi Mengmeng saw it all clearly, so she didn't want to have much contact with Aunt Gao.
"My mother will definitely come to take care of me, so you don't have to worry about this."
Aunt Gao opened her mouth to speak, but Qi Mengmeng blocked her response: "If you pull me again and make me fall, I will ask my husband to go to your house and ask what hatred or grudge we have that made you want to hurt me?"
Aunt Gao was speechless after being confronted by Qi Mengmeng, and Qi Mengmeng turned and left.
It's not that she had to say such harsh words, it's just that people like Aunt Gao simply can't understand what others are saying.
Aunt Gao looked at Qi Mengmeng's back and glared at her: "Humph, what are you so proud of? Your belly is so big, and we don't even know how many months the baby is. Your husband often doesn't come back, so who knows whose baby it is?"
As she finished speaking, the door next to her suddenly opened and a basin of water was poured on her head.
She turned around and cursed, "Who splashed water on me?"
"It's me." Zhao Xiaocao looked at Aunt Gao coldly: "What nonsense did you just say? Do you dare to say it again?"
Of course Aunt Gao didn't dare to do that. She just muttered a few words in private to vent her dissatisfaction.
Even if Gu Guizhi was not at home, there was no other man in this alley, but Aunt Gao was rejected by Qi Mengmeng just now and was dissatisfied, so she said it casually.
Seeing that Aunt Gao didn't say anything, Zhao Xiaocao pointed at her and said sternly, "If you keep talking nonsense, wait for Deputy Commander Gu to come back and see how he will deal with you. And Mengmeng's father is also a leader of the army. If you dare to say bad things about Mengmeng, Mengmeng's father will not forgive you."
Aunt Gao's face quickly became panicked, and she quickly explained: "I just said it casually, really just said it casually."
Zhao Xiaocao usually has a very good personality and seldom conflicts with others, but what Aunt Gao said just now were all slanders against people's innocence.
If this gets out, I don’t know what kind of impact it will have on Qi Mengmeng.
Since she heard it, she would definitely not let Aunt Gao go out and spread rumors.
Aunt Gao was still saying nice things to Zhao Xiaocao, but Zhao Xiaocao stared at her until Aunt Gao ran out of words and fell silent.
"I'll let you off this time, but if it happens again, I'll tell Meng Meng. As for what she'll do, I can't control it."
Aunt Gao felt relieved and nodded quickly: "I will definitely not say anything nonsense. We have been neighbors for so many years, don't you know? I can control my mouth."
Zhao Xiaocao didn't say anything. If she didn't say something more serious, there was no telling when Aunt Gao would blurt out those nonsense.
Only if she knows that the consequences of this matter are serious will she not go out and talk nonsense.
When Aunt Gao saw that Zhao Xiaocao didn't say anything else, she hurried back home, forgetting what she had just come out for.
Zhao Xiaocao watched her back disappear behind the gate, then sighed and went to Qi Mengmeng's house.
Qi Mengmeng had just taken a few bites of the food when she saw Zhao Xiaocao come in. She quickly stood up and wanted to pour Zhao Xiaocao some water.
Zhao Xiaocao quickly stopped him: "You are so pregnant, no need to get up, I can pour the water myself."
Qi Mengmeng called out "Master's Wife" with a smile, and still poured some water for Zhao Xiaocao.
"Master's wife, have you eaten yet?"
Zhao Xiaocao nodded and said that she had eaten, and asked Qi Mengmeng to eat quickly.
Qi Mengmeng knew that Zhao Xiaocao must have something to do, so she finished her meal quickly.
Zhao Xiaocao then asked, why did Aunt Gao stop her just now?
Qi Mengmeng didn't know what happened next, so she told her that Aunt Gao wanted to help her take care of the child.
