Seeing Ge Tiezhu leave angrily, Qi Huilan pulled Qi Mengmeng into the room.
"Mengmeng, let mom handle the matter of asking Lao Ge for money."
Qi Mengmeng felt Qi Huilan's concern. She was silent for a moment and raised her head: "Mom, don't you think I have changed?"
Qi Huilan's eyes were red. She took Qi Mengmeng's hand and sat on the bed together. "Mengmeng, I'm sorry for you these years. I didn't even know that you didn't even have enough to eat. I know that you must have suffered too much injustice, which is why you have changed."
Qi Mengmeng: ...You've already explained yourself, I'm speechless.
"Mengmeng, when mom got married, she told Lao Ge that I would not have any more children, so he refused to give money to the family. I was not angry with him. I can support you. I came from a poor family, and all these years, it was thanks to him that he protected us, so I was nice to Wen Ling."
Qi Huilan glanced at the door and lowered her voice: "I have already asked people to find a job for Wen Ling, but I didn't expect that she would be so impatient and dare to take your job. Your job was left to you by your grandfather, so it's only right that you ask for her money."
Qi Mengmeng: ...So, you know everything.
"But I'm afraid that Lao Ge will be angry with you and will treat you badly in the future." Qi Huilan sighed deeply.
What if Liu Dajiang helped to get Qi Mengmeng's application to go to the countryside back? How would they get along under the same roof? However, she really couldn't bear to let Qi Mengmeng marry Gu Guizhi and join the army.
"Even if I didn't take his money, he didn't treat me well." Qi Mengmeng rolled her eyes and said tentatively, "Mom, have you ever thought about divorcing Uncle Ge?"
"Divorce?" Qi Huilan looked at Qi Mengmeng steadily and smiled bitterly for a long while: "Mengmeng, how can I divorce? Although your grandfather has passed away, it is a fact that he was once a capitalist. Once Lao Ge and I divorce, you, as my daughter, will also have problems with your class background."
Qi Huilan came from a well-off family and was well-educated. She had almost no common topics with Ge Tiezhu, who came from a rural background. But if she divorced, gossip would drown both of them, so she did not dare to think about divorce.
Qi Mengmeng knew, however, that the darkness would soon pass and light would soon come. Soon, the issue of background would no longer be important. The most important thing was that once Ge Tiezhu's woman outside gave birth to a son, Qi Huilan would be in danger.
She remembered that the book implicitly wrote that the heroine was able to become rich because of a box of gold bars left by her ancestors. However, the Ge family was so poor that they could only rent the Qi family's house. How could they have gold bars? The most likely possibility was that the gold bars belonged to the Qi family.
Qi Mengmeng leaned towards Qi Huilan and whispered, "Mom, have you told Uncle Ge about the things that grandpa left behind?"
Qi Huilan shook her head honestly: "Those things are all in your yard. I never told you."
Qi Mengmeng: ...I was just testing it, I didn’t expect it to be true.
"Mom, there is something I want to tell you, but you have to promise me that you won't be angry or sad after hearing it. You still have me." Qi Mengmeng decided to tell Qi Huilan that Ge Tiezhu had someone else outside.
Otherwise, Qi Huilan would be harmed by Ge Tiezhu one day and would not know anything.
Qi Huilan looked at Qi Mengmeng's serious face and was very nervous. She sat up straight and swallowed her saliva: "Mengmeng, don't scare Mom."
"I'm not trying to scare you, I just don't want you to be deceived." Qi Mengmeng lowered her voice: "I heard that Uncle Ge is out there and is about to have a son."
Qi Huilan's expression didn't change, and Qi Mengmeng thought she already knew it.
A minute later, Qi Huilan stood up and said through her teeth: "Ge Tiezhu, good job."
"Mom, don't get excited." Qi Mengmeng saw Qi Huilan's face change, and was afraid that something might happen to her, so she quickly comforted her: "Mom, you still have me, you still have me."
Qi Huilan pursed her lips tightly and sat down again. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her mind was clear: "Ge Tiezhu has always wanted a son, but I said we didn't want one when we got married. For so many years, I thought he didn't want one anymore, but I didn't expect him to find someone else to have one."
"Since he didn't fulfill his promise, I have to take back some things."
Qi Huilan looked at Qi Mengmeng and said, "Mengmeng, back then, Ge Tiezhu promised at your grandfather's bedside that he would treat us well for the rest of our lives, so your grandfather bought him this house. Now that he has another woman, I am taking back this house."
Qi Mengmeng didn't expect Qi Huilan to be so decisive and made the decision in just a few minutes. This fully shows that Qi Huilan has no feelings for Ge Tiezhu and the two of them are just living together.
However, since Ge Tiezhu's name is on this house, it may not be easy to take it back.
Qi Huilan seemed to know what Qi Mengmeng was thinking, and continued, "It's OK if Ge Tiezhu doesn't want to give me this house. Then he can stop being the workshop director."
Based on her understanding of Ge Tiezhu, between the house and workshop director, he would choose to pay.
Soon, the sound of a door closing was heard outside, and it seemed that Ge Wenling had gone out to work.
"Mengmeng, you have a good rest at home. I'm going back to work." Qi Huilan only took an hour off to come back and see Qi Mengmeng off.
Qi Mengmeng sent Qi Huilan to the door, and Qi Huilan told her: "Mengmeng, you should rest at home today. I will bring you lunch at noon."
"No need, I'll do it myself." Qi Mengmeng knew from the original owner's memory that she could cook, and when Qi Huilan worked overtime, Qi Mengmeng cooked all the meals for the Ge family.
"You're going out to eat at noon." Qi Huilan took out a handful of money from her pocket and stuffed it into her pocket. "You're the only one left at home, what else are you going to do?"
Ge Tiezhu usually eats at the textile factory, and now Ge Wenling has also gone to the textile factory, so she probably won't come back for lunch.
After Qi Huilan finished speaking, she left in a hurry.
The bicycle that Ge Tiezhu and Qi Huilan bought after they got married has always been ridden by Ge Tiezhu. Qi Mengmeng thought that after they get divorced, the bicycle and sewing machine in the house should be taken away, and they must not be given to the Ge father and daughter.
At noon, Qi Mengmeng obediently went to the state-owned restaurant.
It was still early when she arrived and there were not many people in the restaurant. She looked at the menu for the day, which included braised pork ribs, fried tofu vermicelli soup, dumplings, shredded pork noodles, and even mutton offal soup, which she didn't have in her refrigerator. She immediately ordered a bowl of it, and also ordered an order of braised pork ribs and went to wait in the corner.
After the dishes were ready, she took out a lunch box, put the braised pork ribs in it, and then lowered her head to drink the mutton soup.
There was a large bowl full of mutton offal soup, without any smell of mutton. Qi Mengmeng drank it without even raising her head.
Just as she was enjoying her drink, she heard a familiar voice: "Give me one serving of braised spareribs, one serving of fresh meat dumplings, and one serving of shredded pork noodles."
