Chapter 3 Departure
Wu Qingmei looked left and right, with a bitter face, she wanted to say something but didn't know where to start, her words would only make Mrs. Meng more angry, and would only make her daughter more dissatisfied.
Seeing that Mrs. Meng finally nodded in agreement, Meng Youyou hurriedly took out paper and pen from her bag, wrote two lines of words, and handed them to Meng Xiaoping, "Look, if it's okay, you can sign it." ”
There is no basis for what to say, if Mrs. Meng and they regret it when they turn around, Meng Youyou must put an end to this possibility in advance.
Meng Xiaoping glanced at it a few times, and saw that it only stated that the two hundred yuan and the house at the head of the village would be paid off within two years, and the three of them had nothing to do with the Meng family from today onwards, so they read it to Mrs. Meng, "Milk, there's nothing wrong with this." ”
Mrs. Meng was finally willing to look at the second daughter-in-law at this time, she was shrunken and shrunk, and she looked angry, so she said, "Cheng." ”
In the past, it was not good to let the second child divorce, but now that they are leaving, Mrs. Meng has no reason to stop her, and when her son comes back and asks her, Mrs. Meng must have her own explanation.
The annoying daughter-in-law and granddaughter are gone, and the son is still hers, and Mrs. Meng feels unjust about this deal.
Meng Youyou watched them sign, although the writing was crooked, but it was always written by them, so he picked it up and carefully folded it and put it away in his pocket, "Mom, pack up your things and go, you won't let me be alone, right?" ”
Wu Qingmei was a little confused, she didn't know why she suddenly split up, and she had to leave here with her daughter, but when she heard her daughter say this, she hurriedly said, "No, no, mom is with you." ”
Meng Youyou showed a big smile when she heard this, even if Wu Qingmei had a lot of badness, but she really loved her children, just by virtue of this, Meng Youyou would not let her stay alone in the Meng family to be tortured by Mrs. Meng and Zhang Guiqin.
At Meng Youyou's insistence, the mother and daughter left Meng's house with a small bag of sweet potatoes and half a bag of cornmeal given by Mrs. Meng, as well as a few patched clothes each.
"Yo, this is Yoyo, right? Are you okay? This is ......" Qian Fengying was picking some vegetables from her own plot and coming back to make dinner, when she met Meng Youyou's mother and daughter, and asked with doubts.
Meng Youyou saw that her mother was about to speak, and knew that she was embarrassed to say that they were going to leave the Meng family, so she said directly, "Auntie, I'm fine, but from today onwards, the three of us mother and daughter have nothing to do with the Meng family." ”
She didn't explain much, she only said the result directly, and the merits of the matter naturally had a pole in the hearts of others, and there was no need for her to add oil and vinegar.
Qian Fengying knew that there were many things in it as soon as she heard it, and she didn't know where to start if she wanted to ask, so she simply didn't ask, and she could naturally know it slowly when she turned around, so don't rush to annoy people at this time.
"And where are you staying tonight?"
Although it is said that it is dark late this summer, it is necessary to find a place to stay, and two women can't spend the night outside.
"His aunt, we have a place, my mother gave us the small grass hut at the head of the village for the time being," Wu Qingmei finally dared to answer at this time, and hurriedly said.
Qian Fengying sneered, "How do you live in that house?" On this day, if you close the door and suffocate inside, you will be bitten to death by mosquitoes when you open the door, how can you sleep? ”
Qian Fengying sympathizes with Wu Qingmei, the two families live next door, after so many years, she has long known what kind of person Wu Qingmei is and what kind of life she lives every day, so she is naturally unaccustomed to a mother-in-law like Mrs. Meng and a concubine like Zhang Guiqin.
Fortunately, she was luckier than Wu Qingmei.
"It's okay, I'll get some wormwood to smoke later," Wu Qingmei was a little embarrassed, thought about it, and said, "Yoyo, you're not in good health, or you wait here for your mother, and your mother will go and clean up the house first." ”
She didn't expect just now that the thatched hut had not been inhabited for so long, it must be dirty and broken, and her daughter was still sick, and she could clean it up before dark by herself.
"It's okay, Mom, I'll go with you," Meng Youyou couldn't bear to let Wu Qingmei suffer alone, and hurriedly said.
"Let's all go together, it's okay if I cook later," Qian Fengying saw that the mother and daughter were pushing, smiled, and said, "It's just that I left this dish for you." ”
"His aunt, how can I trouble you, I can clean it up alone," Wu Qingmei is not used to being polite to people, she is always the only one who does things at home on weekdays, and Zhang Guiqin rarely helps herself.
Qian Fengying made up her mind, took Wu Qingmei's hand and walked forward, "Just be a little bit of my mind, in the past, Zhenzhen and Youyou always taught my Xiaojun to write homework, and I didn't be polite to you." ”
"Then thank you, auntie, what can't you do when you turn back Xiaojun, you let him come to me, and I'll tutor him," Meng Youyou likes Qian Fengying's temperament very much, and she doesn't push it back, she owes her favors, just give it back to her another day.
There are contacts and contacts, you trouble me and I trouble you, so that the relationship can last for a long time.
Qian Fengying hurriedly answered twice, her son was in the third year of junior high school, and it was a critical time, she didn't let him come back to farm after a junior high school like other people's families, but kept hoping that he could read more.
She and her man are the only two laborers in the family, supporting two children to study, and their lives are not very rich, but she is not tired or afraid of hardship, so that the children will not face the loess with their backs to the sky like them in the future.
She also thinks simply, looking at those people in the village, the reason why the village chief was able to become the village chief back then was not because he was literate and others were illiterate.
So, it's not that if you read a book, you will definitely be promising, but if you have culture, you won't suffer anywhere, just like those educated youths from the city, they look different from the people in the village.
Seeing this, Meng Youyou glanced at Qian Fenglian, she knew that the countryside did not pay much attention to children's education now, after all, the nine-year compulsory education at this time was not popular, and many people did not even read a day, and only attended literacy classes.
And the reason why all the children of the Meng family went to school was only because Mrs. Meng was selfish, and it turned out that Mrs. Meng was prescient at this point.
This prescient sight, I am afraid that if I look at the whole village, I must be able to count it on one hand.
Meng Youyou looked at the crumbling thatched house in front of her, a little tired, although she already knew that it was broken, but she didn't expect it to be broken like this, but seeing that Wu Qingmei and Qian Fengying didn't look surprised at all, she didn't have much to say.
The three of them quickly cleaned up the inside and outside of the house, took out all the sundries in the house and put them behind the house, and found three wooden planks to build a bed that couldn't be simpler.
Spread a thick layer of straw and a few clothes as temporary sheets, this is where Meng Youyou's mother and daughter rest tonight.
Qian Fengying didn't care about Wu Qingmei's excuses, she just trotted home and brought some old things that were not needed at home for the time being, although they were old, they could still be used.
Meng Youyou looked at the old stove and the old kettle, as well as some other things, and her heart was full of gratitude, and if she had the opportunity in the future, she would definitely repay Aunt Qian's kindness in the snow.
