When Ge Wenling returned home in the evening, she saw the same cold stove and pot. She took a deep breath and yelled, "Qi Mengmeng, you are idle at home, why don't you know how to cook?"
Qi Mengmeng had just finished an apple and was not hungry at all. She opened the door and looked at Ge Wenling with raised eyebrows: "Give me back my job, and I won't be idle anymore."
Ge Wenling felt guilty for a moment, but she quickly realized: "My dad has already given you the money, so you can't talk about work anymore."
"Okay." Qi Mengmeng agreed straightforwardly. The moment Ge Wenling opened her mouth, she said, "But you signed me up to go to the countryside. Why should I cook for you?"
Ge Wenling: ...That makes a lot of sense.
"I advise you to hurry up and cook. Otherwise, when your father comes back, he may not be as good-tempered as I am." Qi Mengmeng said and closed the door directly.
When she came back from the Public Security Bureau today, she took a detour to the state-owned restaurant and bought five meat buns and a box of braised pork, all of which she had put into the space.
Just now she went to the space and touched the lunch box, it was cold. It seemed that the space had no heat preservation function and could only be used as a storage room.
"Qi Mengmeng, have you been wasting flour at home? Why is there only so little white flour left?" Ge Wenling knocked on the door outside.
Qi Mengmeng didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but Ge Wenling was very persistent, so she had to go over and open the door.
"When I looked at the flour bag yesterday, there was still half a bag of flour. Why is it empty today?" Ge Wenling held the flour bag in front of Qi Mengmeng.
Qi Mengmeng stepped back the moment she reached out her hand.
"You said it was yesterday, so why shouldn't I eat today?" Qi Mengmeng said this very confidently.
Although Ge Tiezhu and Qi Huilan each paid 20 yuan to their family every month, which seemed like a lot, Ge Tiezhu didn't care at all about the family's food, social interactions, house repairs...any other financial expenses.
Qi Huilan made a skirt for Qi Mengmeng alone, and Ge Wenling watched eagerly from the side. In the end, the two girls ended up having almost the same things.
Over the years, the public funds were almost gone every month. Whenever Ge Tiezhu bought a pack of cigarettes or a bottle of wine outside, he would come back to ask Qi Huilan for reimbursement.
The Qi family was well-off, and Qi Huilan herself had a salary, so she was not short of money. She had the attitude of living a good life at the beginning, so she was very generous.
Ge Tiezhu has saved a lot of money over the years, but Qi Huilan's family is a little thinner, so Qi Mengmeng put away the fine grains at home without feeling guilty at all. She wanted to make the Ge father and daughter get used to her current attitude.
Ge Wenling was so angry at Qi Mengmeng that her eyes turned red, but she could do nothing. She didn't dare to do anything, and couldn't argue with Qi Mengmeng, so she could only say bitterly: "I wonder how you can be so proud when you go to the countryside in a few days."
Qi Mengmeng was not afraid at all. Although she didn't want to go to the countryside, she was not afraid at all. Anyway, she had the space. If she had to go to the countryside, the worst that could happen was that she would just go there and slack off.
The family had run out of flour, and Ge Wenling had just started working and had no salary, so she could only make a pot of corn porridge and cut a plate of pickled vegetables from the house.
When Qi Huilan returned home, Ge Tiezhu sent someone a message saying that he would have to work overtime tonight and would be back later.
Ge Wenling put on a sullen face and served herself a large bowl of corn porridge, which she drank with a gulp.
Qi Huilan went to call Qi Mengmeng to eat. Qi Mengmeng pulled her into the house, locked the door, and told her what Liu Dajiang had found out today.
When Qi Huilan heard that Ge Tiezhu's child outside was about to be born, she felt extremely disgusted.
"Mom, there is one more thing. Uncle Liu said that Ge Tiezhu went to a yard in the suburbs." Qi Mengmeng wanted to discuss with Qi Huilan about going there to hunt for treasure.
"Don't worry about that. The things are well hidden and won't be discovered." Qi Huilan was not worried about what was happening over there. "The family living in that house now was arranged by your grandfather. So many years have passed and nothing has happened. There will definitely be nothing wrong."
Qi Mengmeng felt that it was better not to challenge human nature. The fact that nothing had happened in all these years did not necessarily mean that there was nothing wrong with the other party. It was possible that the hidden thing had not been found.
"Mom, I want to go over and take a look. In case I can't stay in the city, we have to make plans for those things early." Qi Mengmeng wanted to take a look at the situation first.
Qi Huilan certainly didn't object. When Grandpa Qi gave her the things, he told her that these things were for the descendants of the Qi family and asked her to keep them well.
She is no longer planning on having another child, so these things belong to Qi Mengmeng. What does it matter if she gives them to her a day earlier or later?
"Okay, let's wait until night and then we'll go there quietly. But there are a lot of things there, so you can only look at them but not take them out." Qi Huilan was afraid that Qi Mengmeng didn't understand the situation, so she reminded her.
"Yeah, don't worry, Mom." Qi Mengmeng just didn't want the Qi family's things to fall into Ge Tiezhu's hands. She herself didn't have a strong desire for those things.
When Ge Tiezhu came back, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. He went to bed without even washing his face.
Their workshop has no tasks for this month, so he has to work overtime these days to keep an eye on them.
Qi Huilan and Qi Mengmeng waited for another twenty minutes, opening and closing the door on purpose. There was no other sound in the whole house except Ge Tiezhu's snoring.
The two looked at each other and tiptoed out of the house.
The person being watched tonight was Shi Tou. He was very surprised to see Qi Huilan and Qi Mengmeng coming out of their house in the middle of the night. After hesitating for a while, he decided that it would be better to keep an eye on them here. Anyway, Director Liu's task for them was to keep an eye on Ge Tiezhu.
Qi Huilan and Qi Mengmeng rushed all the way. When they reached the house in the suburbs, Qi Mengmeng couldn't even speak. She breathed heavily and it took her three or four minutes to recover.
"Mom, are all the things in this house?" Qi Mengmeng looked at the small courtyard in front of her.
"No." Qi Huilan shook her head, then walked to the corner of the wall and began to walk west. After walking ten steps, she turned south and started walking again.
Qi Mengmeng followed Qi Huilan dumbfounded, watching her walk for a while and then change direction, then walk for a while and then change direction again, and after changing directions five times, Qi Huilan finally stopped next to a pile of weeds, pointed at the weeds and said, "Mengmeng, this is the first one."
Qi Mengmeng nodded, and Qi Huilan started her weird treasure hunting method again.
Fortunately, Grandpa Qi only left three places, otherwise, Qi Mengmeng would have been dizzy by Qi Huilan.
"Mengmeng, there are a total of nine boxes hidden in these three places. When you have the chance, you can dig out the things." Qi Huilan asked Qi Mengmeng to walk around and confirmed that there was no problem before taking her back.
"Give me all the things?" Qi Mengmeng didn't expect Qi Huilan to be so generous.
"You are my only daughter, who else can I give it to if not you?" Qi Huilan held Qi Mengmeng's hand and said, "Mengmeng, your grandpa's biggest regret is that there is no boy in the family. If, I mean if, you have children in the future, can you let one of them have the surname Qi?"
