Qi Huilan and Qi Mengmeng both felt that Zhang Meiling said this on purpose.
Zhang Meiling smiled bitterly: "I'm telling the truth. I really came here to seek refuge."
Facing their confused gazes, Zhang Meiling explained the reason.
Bai Jingjing went to Zhang Meiling's house every day these days, under the pretext of accompanying Zhang Meiling, but in fact she wanted Zhang Meiling to help them get the house back.
"I don't have a job right now. Lao Jiang wants to give it to university professors. There's no way the two of us can help them get the house back."
At first, Zhang Meiling thought that the Bai family had all the necessary documents, but she didn't expect that the Bai family wanted so much. Moreover, none of the elderly people in the family came, and they only sent two children.
She told them both clearly that she didn't have such ability, but Bai Jingjing said that she understood, but she went to her house every day, which showed that she didn't believe it.
Zhang Meiling was really annoyed, so she went out early in the morning.
"Mengmeng, if you think Aunt Ling eats too much, she will bring her own food." Zhang Meiling has made up her mind to stay at Qi Mengmeng's house for a while.
Qi Mengmeng was a little amused: "Auntie Ling, you help me take care of the children, how can I accept your food? I'm just worried that you are too tired."
Zhang Meiling finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid of Bai Jingjing.
Qi Mengmeng looked at Zhang Meiling and became curious about Bai Jingjing.
"Auntie Ling, what does Bai Jingjing do every day when she goes there?"
It was because she did nothing that Zhang Meiling felt uncomfortable.
Bai Jingjing always waited until Professor Jiang went to work before she went to his house, and she always said a lot of polite words at the door before entering the house.
After entering the door, Bai Jingjing sat down on a chair and began to recall the time when Zhang Meiling and her grandmother were young.
Every time at the end of the conversation, Bai Jingjing would always bring up the things and house that were taken away from the Bai family, and ask Zhang Meiling to help get the Bai family's things back for Bai Shuwen's sake.
"Why does Bai Jingjing take her grandmother's surname?" Qi Mengmeng quickly discovered something unreasonable.
It can’t be that Bai Jingjing’s grandparents both have the surname Bai, right?
The possibility is too low.
"Because Bai Jingjing's grandfather married into the family, and Shuwen only gave birth to a daughter. Her daughter also married into the family, and gave birth to two children with the surname Bai."
Zhang Meiling answered Qi Mengmeng's questions.
Qi Mengmeng smacked her lips in amazement, this situation was similar to her own family.
"Old Jiang said that the Bai family's affairs involve too many people, and it is not convenient for us to intervene. He goes to work every day, and I have nowhere to go. I can only hide here with you. Mengmeng, you can't stop me from coming."
Although Zhang Meiling also misses the sisters who grew up with her, she will not let her life be affected by others.
Qi Huilan gave Qi Mengmeng a look, meaning for her to stop asking.
Qi Mengmeng changed the subject and talked about other things.
With Zhang Meiling to keep Qi Huilan company, Qi Huilan quickly adapted to life in the capital.
The weather gradually warmed up, and Qi Huilan and Zhang Meiling were able to take their two children for a walk on the street.
Zhang Meiling brought some of her own food rations to Qi's house and almost never went back except to sleep at night.
After running into setbacks for several days, Bai Jingjing realized that Zhang Meiling was avoiding her.
She gritted her teeth and pried open the door of Zhang Meiling's neighbor's house and asked them if they knew where Zhang Meiling had gone.
Bai Jingjing comes here every day, and the neighbors have long noticed it.
The point is that Bai Jingjing comes empty-handed every day, and sometimes leaves before dinner.
In the eyes of the neighbors, Bai Jingjing was a little girl who loved to take advantage of others, so even if she asked, she didn't get any answer.
Of course, no one really knows where Zhang Meiling went.
Bai Jingjing asked both families but didn't get an answer, so she had to leave in disappointment.
Bai Jingjing went to the Normal University to find Bai Hao.
When Bai Hao saw Bai Jingjing's expression, he knew that she did not get the answer she wanted.
"Jingjing, why don't you just go back? I think Grandma Zhang really has no other options. Grandma also said that we may not be able to get those houses back."
Bai Hao persuaded Bai Jingjing.
"No," Bai Jingjing refused decisively, "If we can't get those houses back, where will we live? How will we get back to the capital?"
"Then tell me, how do we get those houses back?" Bai Hao did not argue with Bai Jingjing.
"You just know how to ask me. But you are my brother. Can't you think of a way?" Bai Jingjing had been waiting at the door of Zhang Meiling's house for more than an hour and had walked all the way here. Now she was tired and hungry and in a terrible mood.
"The house doesn't belong to me alone. Do you want to get it without any help?" Bai Jingjing became more and more excited and started shouting.
The classmates passing by looked at the two of them curiously, and Bai Hao quickly pulled Bai Jingjing.
"Jingjing, this is school, stop shouting. Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat."
"This is your school, not mine. If I wasn't so young and didn't go to as much school as you did, I would definitely be able to get into college."
Bai Jingjing lowered her voice a little, but she couldn't help crying.
Why is it that since they are all children of the Bai family, her brother can be loved by her parents, but she has no status in the family?
Both grandma and mom were looking for a son-in-law, so when it came to her, they wanted to marry her off. It was clear that the Ming family had real estate in the capital, so why couldn't they take it back?
The more Bai Jingjing thought about it, the angrier she became. When she saw that Bai Hao only bought her two multi-grain steamed buns, she got furious.
"I am your only sister, and you let me eat this? I worry about family matters every day, and you eat and drink well here. It's not easy for me to come here once, and you still let me eat this?"
The classmates next to him saw the steamed bun in Bai Hao's hand, and then looked at Bai Jingjing's thin appearance, and thought that something was wrong with Bai Hao and Bai Aoqing.
Bai Hao's face turned red. He didn't often eat steamed buns like this at home.
But this was in Beijing, and Bai Jingjing had been in a bad mood these past few days. Bai Hao didn't bother her and bought her a bowl of rice and a portion of shredded potatoes.
Bai Jingjing was about to throw a tantrum, but Bai Hao said directly, "The money I have is enough to last me a semester. If you think the food is not good, go buy it yourself."
Bai Jingjing's anger subsided instantly. She only had the ten yuan of private money that Grandma Bai gave her before she came to Beijing, and she was reluctant to spend it.
"Just eat these." Bai Jingjing sat down unwillingly, took a bite of the white flour bun, and quickly picked up a piece of shredded potatoes with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
Bai Hao looked at Bai Jingjing and swallowed back what he wanted to say. Forget it. Bai Jingjing has indeed suffered since leaving the capital. Since she wants the house, let her struggle for two more days.
After dinner, Bai Hao sent Bai Jingjing outside the school: "Jingjing, the house you live in costs five dollars a month, and you can only stay here for a month at most."
