Meng Li is too lazy to do Tai Chi with Zhang Qiaoer here.
"Okay, okay, I'm just talking nonsense. We're going back to town. People's hearts will make their own decisions."
As soon as such words are released, the villagers will immediately go to verify it and get the results soon.
Meng Li dragged Lu Mu away.
Since the family started selling things, Meng Li always gave discounts to the villagers. Meng Ning and Lu Mu were honest in their work, so the villagers had a good impression of the second wife of the Meng family.
Therefore, when Meng Li said lightly, everyone did not think that what she said was false.
Maybe I just saw that Zhang Qiaoer refused to admit it, so I didn't want to waste my breath.
What happened may have spread throughout the village in a day or two.
"Our Zhang family didn't do this." Zhang Qiaoer cried to the crowd that started to disperse.
No one paid any attention to her.
Qi Laosan returned home with a dark face, and Mr. Qi was also at home.
"What's wrong with you? You look downcast. Who made you angry?" Mr. Qi asked when he saw this.
"Dad, I just learned something and I'm so angry." Qi Laosan sat down on the chair.
"The Zhang family is not sincere at all in asking for marriage."
"What do you say?"
"The real purpose of the Zhang family is Lu Mu." Qi Laosan took a deep breath.
"They were thinking that Lu Mu would bring good luck. Even though Lu Mu had already gone to be the husband-in-law of the second brother-in-law of the Meng family, they never gave up. Maybe they knew that the second brother-in-law of the Meng family was coming to marry our family, so they came one step ahead, or maybe because Let’s make a day out by accident, it’s not important anyway.”
"They went to find the second wife of the Meng family and asked Lu Mu and Meng Li to separate and give up the marriage to the second wife of the Meng family."
"It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous." Upon hearing this, Mr. Qi slapped his hand heavily on the armrest.
"It has always been said that when asking for a relative, both parties are willing to help each other, which can lead to a good relationship between the two families and create a good marriage."
"I didn't expect that someone would have such thoughts. To do this kind of thing is to taint the marriage between man and woman."
"Yes, many people from the village are here. When they heard what the Zhang family did, everyone was very angry."
Mr. Qi shook his head: "This kind of thing has never happened in our village for so many years. The Zhang family can't think about it anymore. When you find a time, you and I will go to the Zhang family and explain it clearly to them."
He remembered something and asked: "Where did you hear it from? Is it reliable? In case there is any misunderstanding."
Qi Laosan said: "This matter was said by Li Yatou, the second roommate of the Meng family. Zhang Qiaoer pretended to have a sprained leg and wanted Lu Mu to carry her back. Li Yatou was shaken out."
"Li Yatou is a sincere person. So, there is a 70-80% chance that it is true. If it is confirmed, let's go to the Zhang family."
Mr. Qi felt that, after all, he was from the same village. If he just relied on hearsay to ask questions, it would seem too disrespectful of the friendship between neighbors. Even if he wanted to break up, he would have to wait until the truth was determined.
When the couple walked halfway, they happened to encounter Meng Dawang coming back.
Meng Dawang held two boxes of chocolates in his hands, one of which was half eaten.
He bought six taels of these two boxes of chocolates, but they were so delicious that he ate them with relish and didn't worry about the money at all.
"Dawang, is it delicious?" Meng Li asked.
When Meng Dawang heard someone calling his name, he quickly hid the chocolate in his clothes, but when he saw it was Meng Li, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked very slowly just to finish a box of food on the way.
"It's delicious. It's better than the previous snacks."
"Then Dawang should eat sparingly. Once you finish eating, it will be gone."
"After eating, I will buy some with silver. I have money." Meng Dawang said, inside the box, there were several large white silver ingots, one of which was ten taels.
Meng Dawang could see the village in the distance, so he got into the woods nearby.
Meng Li was very satisfied.
Meng Dawang likes to eat these snacks very much, and he will think about them again after eating them. High-end snacks are expensive, and soon Dafang will lose all his property.
It is not easy for people in the village to save money. If they can save seven or eight taels a year, it is a lot. For a big house, it takes at least ten or twenty years to save a little money.
This kind of snacks are not affordable for ordinary people, so she specifically seeks out wealthy people to promote and sell them.
However, who told the people in Dafang to provoke her?
Lu Mu didn't speak during the entire journey.
Meng Li wondered if that incident had made him uncomfortable. She felt that there was nothing to hide from Lu Mu, so she told him in front of him.
"Lu Mu."
"Um."
"Don't worry, no matter who comes to exchange marriage, we, the second room of the Meng family, will not let you out."
Swapping relatives is funny, this person is not an object.
Unless one day, Lu Mu wants to leave on his own.
Lu Mu saw a little smile in his eyes.
"That's not what I was thinking about."
"Then what are you thinking about."
"Thought nothing."
Meng Li said: "You are like a boring gourd. Sometimes I worry that you will not speak out what you think. Our second wife truly treats you as a family member. If you need anything, we will do our best to never refuse."
"I know."
There is indeed something pressing in Lu Mu's heart. It happened when she was a child, and it has nothing to do with the second wife of the Meng family.
However, you can’t say that there are things that don’t exist.
He paused and said, "What about you, do you consider me a member of your family?"
"Of course, you are the husband-in-law of our Meng family's second wife."
After receiving this answer, Lu Mu still felt a little empty.
When they returned to the alley, they saw two more people at the door of Courtyard No. 8. They looked into the crack of the door, and the man's hand was on the door.
The yards are locked. The eldest brother and the younger sister sell things in a more crowded area on the street. The second brother is busy making furniture all day long and rarely goes out.
Meng Li looked a little familiar, and when she took a closer look, she saw that it wasn't her cousin Meng Hua and sister-in-law Li Shi?
"Cousin, what are you doing here?" Meng Li asked, startling the two of them.
Because Meng Li had a bad impression of these two people, her tone was very cold.
"Oh, you are back. I heard that you are renting a house in the town now. We are not busy today, so we just want to come and be our guests. You won't dislike us," said Li.
Ms. Li is very thin, the kind of person who can eat without getting fat. At a young age, she has mean features and a thin tongue. She looks like a talker at first glance.
"But we are also very busy, so I'm afraid we won't be able to entertain you." Meng Li's attitude was cold.
"You guys haven't gone out and come back? You shouldn't have a good rest." Ms. Li obviously didn't believe it.
"We've had enough fun out there, and we just happened to be back to work." Meng Li said.
I didn't expect that just two days after arriving, this couple would come to our door.
The refreshments and even the water they serve to their guests are of the best quality, and these people must not be allowed to take advantage of them.
