Seeing that Meng Zhenghui really came over with a stick, Aunt Lin had no doubt that he dared to really smash it down, and she didn't care about pretending, she got up with her hands and feet, and ran away in a hurry, looking back while running, for fear that Meng Zhenghui would catch up, and the embarrassed look made a group of people laugh.

The village chief didn't believe that Lin Baitang would do such a thing that he didn't know the importance of, but when he saw the truth, he was also happy in his heart: "Okay, it's all Lin Er's nonsense, let's disperse." ”

He turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Meng Zhenghui: "Village chief, do you think this matter is over?"

The village chief was stunned, and Meng Zhenghui said: "Xiaotang's innocent reputation was slandered by her like this, but fortunately, this time it was made clear, if there was a little misunderstanding, she went to publicize it everywhere, and everyone knew that a little thing about chasing wind and shadows would be known, and then not only Xiaotang, but I was afraid of the reputation of the girl in the village, but I was afraid that it would be a stain." ”

Second Aunt Lin also said this, and at this time, Meng Zhenghui copied it, but it was also very suitable.

The people around them were all convinced when they heard it, and the village chief also nodded: "Then you say, what should I do?"

Meng Zhenghui said with a smile: "Second Aunt Lin's mouth, although I didn't know it when I first arrived, but judging from today, she should have offended a lot of people in the village, and the village chief is afraid that she has been scolded and punished a lot, I'm afraid it didn't play a role." ”

waited until the village chief nodded, Meng Zhenghui continued: "She has been asking me and Xiaotang for money before, and she came to pretend to be injured today to ask for money, I think it is better to punish her for money, which is much more useful than beating her and scolding her." ”

The village chief frowned: "I'm afraid she won't come out willingly." ”

After the village chief finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, obviously waiting for Meng Zhenghui to continue. As long as Meng Zhenghui said the method, he did it, and now so many people are watching, they all know that it was Meng Zhenghui's idea, and the Lin Er family can't blame the village chief.

Although Lin Baitang was impatient with these things, he had some kind of magical intuition, and quietly pulled the hem of Meng Zhenghui's clothes. Meng Zhenghui also understood what she meant, and a Tai Chi returned the problem again: "The village chief has the village chief's method, I didn't understand anything when I first arrived, and I could only talk about it." ”

The village chief didn't get any trouble, but he wasn't annoyed, and laughed twice: "Good boy, it's enough to match Lin girl." ”

This is the end of the matter, and it has nothing to do with Lin Baitang and Meng Zhenghui.

The crowd dispersed, and Lin Baitang and Meng Zhenghui also returned to the house.

People outside don't know, but Lin Baitang knows that he and Meng Zhenghui have never been married: "What happened to the marriage certificate you just took out?"

Meng Zhenghui put the little red book he had just shown to everyone in front of Lin Baitang: "I came back from abroad before, and I bought the ticket holder in order to save the ferry ticket. As he spoke, he opened it and let Lin Baitang look at the ticket inside, and then closed it to demonstrate what he had just done outside: "The words were held down by me, and they couldn't see it." ”

He said it quite proudly, like a child who had succeeded in some prank, which Lin Baitang had never seen before.

Meng Zhenghui's joy only appeared for a few moments, and then it returned to reality: "But what they said is indeed a problem, we live like this without a name, it is really not good for your reputation, why don't I go to live in another house around, closer to you, but it will not prevent you from meeting on weekdays, as for the marriage certificate and wedding ......"

He pondered the vocabulary and peeked at Lin Baitang's face: "I want to wait until I get the exact news from my father." ”

Lin Baitang also knows something about this, the reason why the Meng family is rich is not unrelated to Master Meng's keen business intuition, there are always foreigners who come to the city to buy tea, Master Meng observed for a while, and simply bought a boatload of tea and porcelain and silk, planning to go abroad to see the direction of the wind, if it can be done, he really wants to do business farther.

Meng Zhenghui has also seen his foreign classmates and teachers' love for domestic things during his years abroad, so he did not refuse, but helped him hire a classmate who knew various Chinese languages as a translator, and sent his father away.

At that time, no one would have thought that when Master Meng went, there would be no news at all, and no news would come back.

are all children, Lin Baitang can also understand Meng Zhenghui's thoughts, Meng's father is now uncertain about his life and death outside, no matter what, Meng Zhenghui's marriage now is not a proper choice, plus Lin Baitang also has the heart to see how Meng Zhenghui is doing, so he agreed very neatly: "Okay, I have no opinion." ”

Meng Zhenghui breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll go to the house tomorrow?"

"Your marriage certificate has been shown to them, now what's going on with the house, this house is divided into east and west houses, and Westinghouse usually puts some sundries, I'll clean up, you can live there at night." Lin Baitang went out to live for a few months, and it didn't take long to come back, and many places in the house were not cleaned up, she said at this time, while taking out a set of bedding from under the box: "This is a new one made for me when my father was here, I haven't used it yet, you can sleep first." ”

Meng Zhenghui took the quilt in his arms, heavy, estimated to be seven or eight pounds, he has not covered such a quilt for a long time, it should be said that from memory, he has never covered such a quilt.

He had the heart to ask if he could buy a quilt of eiderdown, but because Lin Baitang said that it was prepared for her marriage, fortunately, he had been away for many years and had learned a good hand in expression management, and the expression on his face was not flawed at all, and he nodded with a smile: "Okay, then when we get married, I will give you a new set." ”

Lin Baitang waved his hand and couldn't deny it, that matter is still far away, whether she can get together with Meng Zhenghui in the end is two words, in case she can't get there, this is an empty word.

In the countryside, in order to save money on lamps, she put out the fire early and lay down in the quilt, Lin Baitang is no exception, but I don't know if it's because there are more people in the family who are not suitable for the relationship, she tossed and turned until the moon shone on the window and didn't fall asleep, she didn't plan to waste time in the quilt, she simply got up, planned to go outside for a spin, and fell asleep when she was tired.

When I got out of the house, I saw Meng Zhenghui sitting against the stone mill, silently smoking a cigarette, the slender cigarette was sandwiched between his fingers, the smoke blurred Meng Zhenghui's appearance, and it made people feel that he was not a person in this world.

Lin Baitang has always known that Meng Zhenghui has a good appearance, but on this night, he has a deeper understanding of this good word.

Standing for too long, Lin Baitang's feet were a little stiff, and he just stepped on the loose stone with a single step, and with a pop, Meng Zhenghui looked sideways.

I don't know if it's because I'm thinking or what, Meng Zhenghui's eyes now reveal this coldness, as if he doesn't care about anything and doesn't look at anything in his eyes.

His appearance is first-class and beautiful, and with such eyes, he looks like a male bodhisattva sitting on the lotus platform in the annual temple fair.

Lin Baitang's heart jumped suddenly, this kind of Meng Zhenghui made her heart move more than Meng Zhenghui, who had a gentle smirk in the daytime and handled everything without leakage.

He is like a small statue, hidden in his own home, they can occasionally see it, sigh at the beauty of this little statue, but only Lin Baitang himself can touch it, know what this little statue usually looks like, the little statue eats the food she cooks, and covers the bedding when she got married, how can people not like it.

Suddenly, Lin Baitang regretted a little that he had promised Meng Zhenghui that he would marry again after a while.

At that time, she was afraid that this rich young master would be useless and ask her to worry about it if he left the family, but now that she thinks about it, he is so beautiful, well-behaved and obedient, and smarter than most men in this world, so even if he doesn't do anything, he is only obedient and beautiful at home, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

Lin Baitang can hunt and farm, and she still has the jewelry and clothes she brought out from the Meng family before, sell them and do a little business, she is very confident that she can raise Meng Zhenghui very well.

Lin Baitang, who has been getting by since his father's death, seems to have been injected with new vitality at this moment.

She recalled that during the day, Meng Zhenghui took the little red book and debated with the crying Aunt Lin, and there was a little sweetness in her heart, and suddenly she had a sense of crisis, this Aunt Lin has not been honest, and I am afraid that she will be a demon after this time, she was too lazy to pay attention to it before, but now for Meng Zhenghui, she also has to find some way to calm this matter.

Meng Zhenghui shouldn't go to toss with such a person for a trivial matter, he just sat on the sofa in a beautiful dress, drank a little foreign wine, and ate a little cake.

Lin Baitang lived in Meng's house for a few months before, but his love for Meng Zhenghui was only so polite because of his beauty, but on such a moonlit night, Lin Baitang felt that his love for him had reached a point worth seeing.

Lin Baitang walked over to Meng Zhenghui's eyes and asked him, "Why don't you sleep yet." ”

Meng Zhenghui smiled, lowered his head and threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it with his foot: "I guess I slept too much in the afternoon, and I can't sleep at this time." ”

Lin Baitang took advantage of the moonlight to look at his bare wrists, and there were many small red spots on them that had not been there in the afternoon, as if they had been bitten by mosquitoes.

There shouldn't be mosquitoes this season, could it be that the bedding has been in the box for too long and has given birth to mites?

Thinking about it like this, Lin Baitang felt that Meng Zhenghui was a little pitiful, he must not have suffered such a crime before, but his education made him refuse to say anything bad about her quilt even in the face of such a situation.

He must marry himself, he is really good to him, if he changes to someone else, looking at his temperament, he will not bully him to death, Lin Baitang at this moment has forgotten very cleanly about Meng Zhenghui's words to scare away Aunt Lin.

Lin Baitang suddenly remembered that when she came out of the Meng family, the Meng family had not restricted Meng Zhenghui's economy, so she brought out a lot of good things, including a few sets of satin bedding, which she kept useless and wanted to sell them during the New Year. It should be able to sell it for more than ten yuan, but now, Lin Baitang plans to use this set of bedding on Meng Zhenghui's body.

At such a moment, she felt that she loved him very much, so she was happy to give him these good things.

Meng Zhenghui didn't know what Lin Baitang was thinking, but she sat beside her, so she regarded her as willing to listen to herself: "My father made a will early in order to force me to get married, stating that after his death, the inheritance will only be left to my children, and I will not possess a penny, so after the news of my father's ship accident came back this time, someone in the clan used this incident to make a fuss, completely cutting off my financial resources." ”

As he spoke, he smiled, but it wasn't funny, it was just on the surface, not in his eyes: "I know what they mean, they probably think that my father can't come back, and it's better that I die early, so that all the Meng family's property can belong to them." ”

The more he said this, the calmer he became, the more Lin Baitang felt pitiful for him, so he naturally reached out and touched his hair, as if his father had comforted himself back then: "Then what do you think?"

Meng Zhenghui's hair is very hard, and it feels like he hasn't taken care of it seriously for a long time. Lin Baitang seriously thought about bringing a bottle of hair oil to Meng Zhenghui next time he went to the market.

"I don't care too much about those, I just want to find my father's ...... now" Meng Zhenghui said this, a little unable to speak, and carefully changed a word for himself: "News." ”

"I want to find news of my father, whether life or death. ”
