"How can you talk like that?"
Wen Qingping was repeatedly criticized by Meng Haisheng, and his face was as ugly as it could be.
"What I said is the truth. Our Meng family doesn't need your betrothal gift of several hundred yuan. Comrade Wen, please go back."
"Cousin, I won't keep you anymore. There is no place for you to live at home."
Meng Hongyan was so angry that her mouth was crooked by Meng Haisheng's humiliation.
"Cousin, this is your family education. If you don't take good care of it, Meng Haisheng will be in jail sooner or later."
"Meng Hongyan, it's New Year's Day, what nonsense are you talking about? It's not your turn to gossip about my child."
"Go away quickly. My Xiaoxuan will not marry to Anxin City."
Mrs. Meng gritted her teeth in anger and pushed Meng Hongyan directly.
"Cousin, you said that. If Meng Xuan can't get married in the future, don't beg me."
At this point, Meng Hongyan also realized that the old Meng family really didn't want Meng Xuan to marry Wen Qingping.
But she was unwilling to do so. Before coming here today, Wen Qingping promised her that if the matter was settled, he would introduce her son to the government unit.
That was a stable job.
Grandma Meng pushed Meng Hongyan out of the house, and Wen Qingping, who was pushed out with her, remembered that he had not taken away the things he brought.
"My things."
"I'll get them for you."
Meng Haisheng directly blocked Wen Qingping and didn't let him go into the house at all.
"Cousin, your family's betrothal gift is really outrageous. I have given you 400 yuan, but you still don't agree. You won't let others take thousands of yuan in betrothal gifts before you are willing to marry your daughter."
Meng Hongyan shouted at the street at the gate of the courtyard.
Her words were ambiguous. If someone didn't know the inside story, they would easily misunderstand and think that the Meng family really wanted to collect a sky-high bride price.
"Aunt, you don't have to play tricks on me here. If you bring a second-married man here, let alone 400 yuan for the bride price, even if you give 4,000, my cousin will not marry a second-married man in his 40s."
Although Meng Haisheng's voice was not loud, anyone who listened to them could hear it clearly.
Meng Hongyan wanted to say a few more words to Meng Haisheng, but Wen Qingping felt that today's incident was too embarrassing.
He came out of the old Meng family and turned around to get in the car.
"Okay, Meng Haisheng, you are awesome. You wait and see. You will have something to worry about."
Meng Hongyan stopped entangled with Meng Haisheng and got in the car.
Watching this half-new car disappear on the dusty dirt road of Xiashan Village, Meng Haisheng was a little worried about Wen Qingping, wondering if his car would fall apart on the way.
After Meng Hongyan's disturbance, several villagers who were familiar with Grandma Meng came to inquire about the news.
Grandma Meng told the story just now like pouring beans.
"I think the man came here with a car and is an official. Although he is a second marriage and has two children, there is nothing wrong with Meng Xuan marrying him and enjoying a good life."
"Xiaoxuan is my only precious daughter, and I don't want her to suffer this grievance."
Grandma Meng closed the gate and stopped chatting with others. She loved her own daughter, and it would not harm her if others talked nonsense.
Meng Xuan was so angry that she cried in the room.
She came back from Anxin City because of this matter. She didn't expect Meng Hongyan to bite her so hard.
Meng Xuan felt better after her family comforted her.
Meng Hongyan left, and Meng Haisheng didn't take it seriously. Since their family had clearly refused, Meng Hongyan would definitely not come to cause trouble again.
After delivering New Year gifts to Grandpa Meng's house, Meng Haisheng went to Grandpa Meng's house in the afternoon.
In order to give Fan Zhenzhen and others a place to live, Meng Haisheng renovated Grandpa Meng's house a little.
There were big red blessing characters on the bright glass windows, door gods on the doors, and two big red lanterns hanging under the eaves.
Grandpa Meng was chopping firewood under the eaves. When he saw Meng Haisheng coming, he came forward to greet him enthusiastically.
"Haisheng is here, sit in the house."
"Grandpa, how are your New Year's goods prepared?"
Meng Haisheng put the New Year gifts he brought on the table in the main room. Grandma Meng heard him talking and came out from the inner room.
"This year is a good year. I made a lot of money by weaving baskets for scorpions. I bought ten kilograms of meat during the Chinese New Year."
Grandpa Meng happily lit a cigarette for himself. He used to smoke a dry pipe, but this year he went to buy cigarette paper and rolled his own cigarettes.
"After the Chinese New Year, I will still collect scorpions. There will definitely be people who will ask you to weave baskets."
Meng Haisheng chatted with Grandpa Meng and Grandma Meng for a while before going home.
"Haisheng has sent all the things to your grandfather."
Qu Lan poked her head out of the kitchen and asked Meng Haisheng.
"All sentIt's over."
"Your great grandfather has been good to you since you were a child. Visit him more often during the holidays."
"He doesn't need your things, but it won't be so lonely if someone visits him."
Qu Lan brought out a large iron basin filled with diapers for three little babies.
Qu Lan boiled a large pot of water and prepared to scald all the diapers.
Meng Haisheng saw it and stepped forward to help pour the hot water.
"Didn't my three aunts come back before the New Year?"
"Only your eldest aunt came back. The other two ungrateful people didn't even come back to see me."
Qu Lan could only sigh when he mentioned this.
Every family has its own problems, and they can't help with these things.
"Grandfather has an income now and can provide for his old age. If he gets sick in the future, as long as he has money, he won't have to worry about no one to take care of him. "
Meng Haisheng saw through it. To deal with some villains, you should not take the usual way, just like he dealt with Liang Xiaocui through Grandma Meng.
As long as she is greedy, he can deal with these people.
Meng Haisheng poured boiling water into the big iron basin, scalded it for a long time, and then washed the two together.
With three little babies, there is at least one iron basin of diapers a day. If you wash it a little slower, it will become two basins.
After washing the diapers, Qu Lan took out a pile of clothes.
Meng Haisheng thought that if he had known that the three children were so capable, he should have bought I didn't come back with a washing machine, what a miscalculation.
In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. Lin Mucheng had to take care of the children and had no time to cook. Qu Lan took the lead and simply called the whole family to eat together.
Meng Haisheng's house was big, and the three little babies couldn't be exposed to the wind in the winter, so they chose to cook the New Year's Eve dinner at his house.
In the living room, the whole family worked together to make dumplings, even Momo, Dabao, and Xiaobao joined in the work.
"My little ancestor, don't eat noodles, Dabao, take your brothers and sisters out to play, your dad bought you several boxes of firecrackers, take your brothers and sisters to play in the yard."
Qu Lan had just chopped the dumpling stuffing, and when she entered the living room, she saw the three children covered in noodles.
She didn't feel sad when she ate noodles, but she felt really sad when she ate them.
She had experienced a disaster year before and almost starved to death, so she cherished all food very much.
