Qi Mengmeng looked up and saw Ge Tiezhu holding three lunch boxes in his hands, urging the waiter: "Waiter, please hurry up."
The waiter glanced at him impatiently: "Why don't you come earlier? Wait."
Ge Tiezhu turned around and looked inside the hotel. Qi Mengmeng immediately lowered her head and stared at him out of the corner of her eye.
"There's a pregnant woman at home. She has no appetite these days and likes the food in your state-owned restaurant. That's why I urged her a little hastily." Ge Tiezhu didn't notice Qi Mengmeng in the corner and said to the waiter carefully.
The waiter's expression became better and his tone softened: "Okay, got it."
Ge Tiezhu lowered his head and walked to the side, glancing inside the hotel from time to time.
At this time, it is not yet time for the textile factory to get off work at noon. I don’t know what excuse Ge Tiezhu found to come out, but from what he said just now, he bought it for the woman outside.
Qi Mengmeng hesitated. If she followed him, she didn't know if she could catch Ge Tiezhu.
Before she could think it through, the waiter had already handed the packed meal to Ge Tiezhu. Ge Tiezhu quickly put away the lunch box and walked out of the state-owned restaurant.
When Qi Mengmeng walked out of the state-owned hotel, she only saw Ge Tiezhu's bicycle flash at the corner, and then two bicycles turned around. When she ran to the corner, there was no trace of him.
Qi Mengmeng sighed helplessly. Forget it. She was just an ordinary person and not suitable for stalking. Anyway, she had already told Liu Dajiang about this. She believed that Liu Dajiang would find Ge Tiezhu's woman outside.
Qi Mengmeng had a good sleep after returning home and slept until the three people in the family came back from get off work.
Ge Tiezhu saw Qi Mengmeng coming out of the house, glanced in the direction of the kitchen, and winked at Ge Wenling.
Ge Wenling immediately ran to the kitchen, and soon ran out, looking at Qi Mengmeng angrily: "Qi Mengmeng, you stayed at home for a whole day and didn't even cook a meal."
Qi Mengmeng went to pour a glass of water first, drank it in one gulp to moisten her throat, and then said, "You haven't paid me for my work yet, and you want to eat the food I cook. You can go to sleep now, and you can dream about anything."
"You, my dad told you he's given you the money." Ge Wenling overheard what her father said in the morning. Although she was reluctant to give the money to Qi Mengmeng, as long as Qi Mengmeng took the money, the job would be hers and no one could take it away from her. So she hoped that her father would give her the money as soon as possible even more than Qi Mengmeng did.
"You also know that it's a talk, not a give." Qi Mengmeng stretched out her hand towards Ge Tiezhu: "Uncle Ge, give me the money."
Ge Tiezhu looked at the hand stretched out in front of him and didn't want to give it at all. He changed the subject and said, "Mengmeng, it's so late now, your mother will be back soon, go and cook first."
"I'm malnourished and have no strength." Qi Mengmeng would never cook. She was afraid that she would not be able to resist putting laxatives in the food and cause diarrhea to kill both her and her son.
Ge Tiezhu looked at Qi Mengmeng who was playing tricks on him. He couldn't hit her or scold her, so he could only say to Ge Wenling who was standing beside him, "Wenling, go cook."
Ge Wenling wanted to refuse, but Ge Tiezhu's face had already darkened, so she had no choice but to go to the kitchen kicking and struggling.
Qi Mengmeng poured herself another glass of water and listened to the sound of pots and pans being smashed coming from the kitchen, which was really pleasant to the ears.
She knew that Ge Tiezhu would not dare to do anything to her. If the original owner had been aware of this before, she might not have come.
When Qi Huilan returned home, Ge Wenling had already prepared dinner, including corn porridge, Erhe flour pancakes, and a plate of stir-fried vegetables.
"Why is today's dish so simple? Mengmeng's health isn't well yet. I'll go fry two eggs." Qi Huilan said as she rolled up her sleeves and was about to go to the kitchen.
Qi Mengmeng pulled Qi Huilan over and took out the heated chicken: "Mom, there's still some chicken here, let's make do with some."
Ge Wenling was so angry that her nose was about to be crooked. She had chicken to eat and said it was just okay.
Qi Huilan looked at Qi Mengmeng carefully, and only sat down to eat when she saw that she really thought the food was good.
Ge Wenling stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the chicken, but was knocked away by Qi Mengmeng twice in a row. She angrily finished the porridge in the bowl and ran back to her room.
Ge Tiezhu quietly finished his bowl of porridge and wanted to leave, but Qi Huilan stopped him: "Old Ge, go and give the money for the job purchase to Mengmeng."
Ge Tiezhu looked at Qi Huilan in surprise. He didn't expect that the first thing Qi Huilan said to him after returning home would be to ask for money.
"You don't like using passbooks, so there must be money at home," Qi Huilan added.
Ge Tiezhu looked Qi Huilan up and down before saying, "Huilan, I don't have much money. We don't have a son, and after our two daughters get married, I will use this money for my old age."
In the past, Ge Tiezhu didn't want to pay, and said that the money he had was for use in his retirement, and Qi Huilan never said anything against it.
"You promised Mengmeng this morning. How about I go with you to get it?" Qi Huilan walked to the door and motioned for him to get the money, as if she didn't hear what Ge Tiezhu said.
"No need." Ge Tiezhu suppressed his anger, walked into the house and closed the door.
This was to prevent Qi Huilan from finding out where he put the money.
Qi Huilan returned to the dining table with a calm expression on her face and sat down. After so many years of marriage, she had become accustomed to Tiezhu's guard against her.
"Uncle Ge, my normal job is to sell for 1,200 yuan, but you secretly signed me up to go to the countryside. You have to give me 300 yuan as compensation." Qi Mengmeng walked to the closed door and said loudly.
Inside the door, Ge Tiezhu had already taken out 1,200 yuan, with a look of heartache on his face. After hearing Qi Mengmeng's words, he put the money back.
Qi Mengmeng continued outside: "Mom, do you think Uncle Ge will regret it?"
"No, unless your Uncle Ge has other children, he will definitely buy a job for Wen Ling."
Ge Tiezhu gritted his teeth, took out the money again, opened the door, and handed it to Qi Mengmeng: "Here is 1,200 yuan, I give it to you, no more."
Qi Mengmeng took the thick stack of money and began to count it.
"Mengmeng, don't you believe Uncle Ge?" Ge Tiezhu said with a wry smile.
"How could that be? I've never seen so much money before. I just want to satisfy my desire." Qi Mengmeng didn't even raise her head.
Ge Tiezhu snorted coldly, no longer able to maintain his usual good attitude: "With so much money, I guess you won't need me and your mother to subsidize you when you go to the countryside."
Qi Mengmeng: ...counting money...
Qi Huilan now felt nauseous listening to Ge Tiezhu talking. She went back to her room, got a quilt, and prepared to go to Qi Mengmeng's room to sleep.
Ge Tiezhu was stunned: "Why are you moving the quilt?"
"Mengmeng is going to the countryside soon, I'll go and accompany her." Qi Huilan didn't even look at Ge Tiezhu and left decisively.
After counting the money, Qi Mengmeng felt much better. After washing up, she lay down on the inside of the bed.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the whole courtyard became quiet. A dark shadow quietly opened the gate and walked out.
