Chapter Eighty-Eight: Asking for Someone
That's right, but if Wu Qingmei wants to go against Mrs. Meng in public, she can't do it, she has been suppressed by Mrs. Meng for many years, and she is still afraid of her in her heart.
Meng Youyou understood this psychology, so he didn't plan to let Wu Qingmei come forward, so he just went out to shake around, deliberately waiting for Wang Guixiang to pass by, and then sighed sadly.
"Yo, what's going on?" Wang Guixiang was so curious, didn't she know what was going on?
Meng Youyou glanced at her when she heard the voice, and said in a low voice, "Aunt Guixiang, it's nothing." ”
After that, I have to leave.
The tone was full of grievances, Wang Guixiang naturally heard it, and hurriedly grabbed her, "If you have something to say, you can talk to your aunt." ”
"Well, isn't this the Commune giving me money? I'm thinking about building a house at the end of the autumn harvest so that my mother can spend the winter, but I don't know......"
Before the words were finished, Meng Youyou stretched out his hand and wiped his eyes, "Actually, the thatched house we live in now can also live in people, but my grandmother has always wanted us back to her, so ......"
The voice was getting lower and lower, and there was a faint cry behind it, Wang Guixiang felt very uncomfortable when she heard it, "If you want to cover it, your aunt will go and find someone to help you." ”
She understood, so she felt that people like Mrs. Meng were not worthy of being grandmothers, obviously the Meng family's house was not bad, but she was in a hurry to tear down and rebuild at this juncture, isn't this bullying?
"Auntie, don't," Meng Youyou hurriedly shook his head, "If my grandmother finds out, maybe she will come to scold me, and maybe the house will never be built again." ”
"Good boy, don't worry, I won't let her know," Wang Guixiang patted her on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid, go home quickly." ”
After finishing speaking, she didn't care about the side, just lifted her legs and left, she didn't believe that she couldn't do it.
Meng Youyou watched the person walk away, then turned around, and saw Jiang Chuan standing behind her coldly, startled, "Don't you walk without a sound?" ”
"Are you scared?" Jiang Chuan didn't argue, but asked.
He had been standing here for a while, but she had been so engrossed in things that she hadn't noticed.
Seeing that her eyes were red, as if she had cried, she couldn't help but chuckle, "Little fox, pretending to be quite similar." ”
If he hadn't heard it all, he might have been fooled by her.
"Naturally, you have to do enough to act," Meng Youyou snorted, "The show is still to come." ”
If the people in the village really came to help them, then Mrs. Meng couldn't tell how angry she was, the house was not built, and I was afraid that this year would not pass.
Thinking that Mrs. Meng would be angry, Meng Youyou's eyes narrowed.
As she expected, when Mrs. Meng knew that everyone in the village had run to help Meng Youyou, she was so angry that she didn't even want to eat, and she watched Meng Xiaoping gobble up like a starving ghost reincarnated, and reached out and slapped her chopsticks off.
"Haven't you eaten in your life?" Mrs. Meng said angrily, "Eat and eat, if you can't get into high school and don't go to earn work, you know that you can eat, it's better to marry me as soon as possible." ”
When the public grain was not enough, she paid the most money in the whole village, and in the past, there was a subsidy for Meng Gui to work in the county, but now don't mention the subsidy, there are no more people.
Looking at Wu Qingmei and them again, the food distributed by the three of them is several times that of so many of them, not to mention, the commune also allocated land and rewarded them with money, for fear that they would have a bad life.
"Mom, what are you talking about now?" Zhang Guiqin was sloppy, "We are talking about the problem of building a house, can we let Meng Youyou and them build it, and we won't build it?" ”
What can they do without help?
"Mom, why don't we pay someone to build it," Meng Poison didn't want to delay until next year, so he thought of a way and put it forward.
If this was said before, Mrs. Meng would not agree to it anyway, why waste this money when it can be done without spending money?
But now, as soon as she wants Meng Youyou to live in a new house, Mrs. Meng's heart seems to be burning with a fire, and she can't swallow that breath at all.
So he said, "How much does it cost to hire someone?" ”
The people in the village help build a house, and it is usually enough to manage a meal at noon, relying on the affection between each other, but if you raise money, it is still a never-before-seen thing.
"How about two cents a day?" Meng Fu knew that there was a play, and asked tentatively.
He didn't dare to say too much, for fear that Mrs. Meng would directly refuse, so he could only say a roughly acceptable amount.
A person has to spend more than a dollar a day, plus the money for lunch at noon, how to get forty or fifty yuan when the house is built, not counting the money to build a house and buy materials.
"Okay," Mrs. Meng calculated the account in her heart, gritted her teeth and responded, "You go find someone, and we will try to build the house quickly." ”
Spending an extra forty or fifty yuan is naturally not worth it, but thinking that she can vent her anger from Meng Youyou, Mrs. Meng feels that the money is worth it.
Meng Fu answered, and was about to go out, when he saw Meng Meihua coming back with Xu Jiawen, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, "Sister, why are you back?" ”
He has a lot of respect for this eldest sister, even more than Mrs. Meng, after all, among so many people in the Meng family, Meng Meihua is the only one who has a good reputation.
Mrs. Meng heard the voice and also came out, "Meihua, why are you back?" Come in and sit. ”
"Mom," Meng Meihua responded, and when she walked in, she saw the food on the table at a glance, and said, "You are eating, I haven't eaten either, do you still have food?" ”
The food is not very good, but Sheng is mixed with fine grains in it, and it tastes more or less, after all, although she lives in the city, she can't eat fine grains often.
"Yes, yes, you go to the eldest sister and Jiawen for dinner," Meng Fu hurriedly said to Zhang Guiqin, and sat down beside Meng Meihua again, "Eldest sister, you just need to come back, why bother to take things?" ”
Meng Meihua can't come back a few times a year, and it's naturally not good to come back empty-handed, but fortunately, there are a lot of rags at home, so she brought a few pieces back, but she couldn't say these words.
only said, "Your brother-in-law is busy with work, and I have to take care of my two children at home and abroad, and I don't have much free time, otherwise I should have come back a long time ago." ”
Xu Jiawen listened beside him, and he was already impatient, so he only asked, "Milk, I heard that the second aunt is going to build a house?" ”
This is what they said when they walked to the entrance of the village just now, and they heard people chatting, so they wanted to confirm it.
"Not only her, but we must also build."
Although Mrs. Meng's tone was still a little stiff, a smile appeared on her face, and she was reluctant to be wronged by her favorite granddaughter.
