How did you harm Wang Meng? Liu Fuyuan asked rather puzzledly.
At that time, Wang Meng was not willing to go hunting in the mountains. I asked him to go because our egg-laying hen was taken away by a falcon. Liu Mei raised her hand to brush the bangs on her forehead and explained the reason fully.
Haha... Liu Fuyuan sneered for a while, then looked at Liu Mei and scolded: It's really strange. You asked him to hunt falcons, and he actually killed people. Could it be that falcons can't be distinguished from people? Liu Mei further explained: Since a hunter goes into the mountains, he cannot simply hunt falcons. He usually hunts wild animals when he sees them. He accidentally killed someone, and the situation was complicated.
What is the situation? Isn’t it possible to distinguish between humans and wild animals? Liu Fuyuan spoke aggressively. Liu Mei continued to argue: It was dark when Wang Meng went into the forest, and Kuai Siming happened to be hunting in the mountains at this time. It is said that he had been hunting for several days without finding anything, so he wore a suede coat and pretended to be a muntjac in the hope of hunting. The real muntjac was teased out. Unexpectedly, the real muntjac did not appear, but Wang Meng in the night treated him as a muntjac and beat him to death.
Liu Fuyuan did not speak this time, only emphasizing his attitude: You don't need to visit Wang Meng in prison or interact with prisoners. I, as a father, don't have face, so you should be more responsible.
In fact, Liu Fuyuan was secretly planning. His daughter Liu Mei was good-looking and considered a pretty girl in the village. She could definitely find a better man than Wang Meng and Kuai Siming to be his son-in-law. Therefore, he did not allow Liu Mei to have contact with Wang Meng, not to mention that Wang Meng was now a prisoner. On the one hand, Liu Mei was grateful to Wang Meng, but on the other hand, she was in love with Wang Meng. Seeing her father's attitude, she couldn't restrain her anger and argued with her father, saying in a quick and sharp voice: I have to go see him.
If you want to be nice to him, our family will no longer recognize you, so get out! Liu Fuyuan was simply roaring.
Dad, don't be too snobbish. Wang Meng is not bad at all. He went into the cell because of me. Why don't you even let me see him? People should always show some conscience? Liu Mei said her eyes were red and tears started flowing out.
snort! How much is conscience worth?
Dad, how do you educate your daughter?
The father and daughter were arguing, and Ma came out of the inner room. She pulled her daughter aside and whispered: Liu Mei, I know you are interested in Wang Meng. Wang Meng accidentally killed someone because of you. Now that you are in the cell, you also There is no need to rush to see him, let him come out. If you have good luck in the future, and if you propose this marriage to your father, he will not interfere. He is doing it for your own good!
After hearing this, Liu Mei felt calmer. She wiped away her tears and said: Then I will wait for him.
Silly boy, do you really have the patience to wait? Wang Meng will have to serve 6 years in prison before he can be released. You will already be a big girl by then. If he comes out and disowns you, it will be troublesome. When you are older, it will be difficult to get married. Ma held her daughter in her arms and patted her back gently while talking. This was of course a reminder to her.
Mom, won’t Wang Meng treat me badly? Although Liu Mei said this, she was still worried in her heart. She was the one who caused Wang Meng to go to jail. If Wang Meng was angry with her, it would be difficult to ignore her.
As a result, Liu Mei wanted to visit Wang Meng more and more, hoping to get his understanding. Ma's mood was basically the same as Liu Fuyuan's. She just tried to convince her daughter in the right way and used a "delay tactic". As time went by, her daughter might forget about it. During this period, they have full choice and reference as to what kind of son-in-law their daughter is looking for.
Everything is not just what you want. The engagement between Liu Mei and Kuai Siming has been spread for a long time. It is said outside that Kuai Siming's death is related to Liu Mei. Some people simply say that Liu Mei caused her death, and they even say so plausibly. Kuai Siming borrowed a gun and wore a suede coat to hunt in order to please Liu Mei's family. This was also a competition with Wang Meng to win Liu Mei's favor, but he did not expect that his life was at stake; and Wang Meng was in jail, not to mention Wang Meng. , it was Liu Mei who harmed him, and Liu Mei herself admitted it. Although it is impossible to say that Liu Mei was at fault, one thing can be concluded: Liu Mei may have been Kefu's fate. You see, Kuai Siming only got engaged and was killed before marrying her, while Wang Meng only had a little affection for her. Meaning, it will lead to jail time. These public opinions are extremely detrimental to Liu Mei's marriage, but Liu Mei herself doesn't care. She only has Wang Meng in her heart, so she often avoids her own family members and Wang Meng's family members when visiting the prison. Wang Meng was very moved, but his family was not happy when they found out. They went to Liu Mei and her parents again and again and said some unpleasant things: Liu Mei, Liu Mei, my Wang Meng is in prison and you don’t need you to see him. You're out of luck! You've already caused him enough misery.
After hearing this, Liu Mei's family reprimanded her, and she kept crying, not because of her parents' reprimand, but because her feelings were greatly suppressed. As the reputation of being a "crooked husband" spread, her mother told her that her husband's family had never been successful. Of course, there were men who were not afraid of being raped. They were either widowers who had lost their wives or older men with disabilities. Liu Mei was not willing to do so at all. When they met, she hid as soon as she heard that someone was coming for a blind date. It wasn't until Wang Meng was released from prison after serving six years in prison that she had not yet agreed to a marriage when she became a grown-up girl.
Maybe there is a connection with Wang Meng! Wang Meng met Xu Ma on the first day he was released from prison. Xu Ma knew the situation between him and Liu Mei best, so she quietly pulled him aside to talk. She said Liu Mei had been waiting for you all these years.
Why is she waiting for me? She looks so elegant and dignified, is she still worried about getting married?
It's not that she feels sorry for you. She once told me that if it weren't for her, you would never go to jail. She thinks that she has harmed you, so she is willing to wait for you and sacrifice her own youth. cost.
Xu Ma observed Wang Meng's attitude while talking. Wang Meng was very grateful after understanding the situation. Xu Ma added: Only in this way, Liu Mei may be able to eliminate the guilt in her heart.
Wang Meng said: Liu Mei did not harm me at all. She had a good intention. The only fault was that I was so impulsive at that time. I wanted to go up the mountain to hunt her favorite prey after dark. Unexpectedly, something bad happened. Instead of killing a wild animal, I killed her. Kuai Siming, who was wearing a suede coat, was beaten to death. As a result, she was implicated and detained. From this point of view, she was not the one who harmed me, but I was the one who harmed her. It was me who felt guilty, not her.
Xu Ma checked his tone and felt confident, saying that Liu Mei has been interested in you for a long time, and you should feel it in your heart!
Wang Meng changed the subject and said that if I had calmed down and not hunted at night but during the day, this incident would not have happened, and I would have had a chance to kill the falcon holding the chicken. Speaking of this, Xu's mother said that after that, there has never been an incident of a falcon grabbing a chicken in the village, which is really strange.
Under the help of Xu Ma, Wang Meng and Liu Mei met. It was a winter day with brilliant plum blossoms, no snow, and a faint sunshine shining warmly in the front yard of Liu Mei's house. They sat together and talked about their thoughts. As he said, Liu Mei's parents no longer stood in the way of this matter. They had already acquiesced in Wang Meng's son-in-law and were happily cooking dishes to entertain him. However, Wang Meng's family had some concerns. Others said that Liu Mei was destined to be a slave. His father, Wang Jianshu, reminded him: My child, you have to think clearly. Before Wang Jianshu could finish his sentence, Wang Meng said, "I don't believe this. Kuai Siming was killed by me by mistake, not Liu Meikefu. Their relationship was not clear at all. In other words, Liu Mei had not agreed to be his wife, and he had not agreed to be his wife." How can he be called a husband when he has not married her at all? Kuai Siming's death can only be regarded as a coincidence.
After listening to his son's words, Wang Jianshu stopped interfering and discussed with his wife Hu Lanying about giving a bride price. Since the family was poor and had nothing of value, Hu Lanying thought of how much a pot of vegetable oil could be worth. This was what they had harvested in the first half of the year. I bought two pots of oil in exchange for rapeseed. One pot was almost finished, and the other was left. The first time Wang Meng came to Liu Mei's house, he gave him a pot of vegetable oil. Although his mother-in-law was not happy, she did not do it to save face. She pulled Liu Mei aside and whispered: "You see how poor Wang Meng's family is, so I gave this pot of oil as a gift." , He is really cheap.
Mom - don't worry about this, as long as Wang Meng is a good person.
Okay, I won't say any more. We won't eat this pot of oil, but we will leave it to you two after you get married.
Wang Meng and Liu Mei were well aware of this. They only talked about how to work hard in the future, and they were very happy.
