"I met Meng Yu at the Anxin vegetable market."

"If I remember correctly, Meng Yu eloped with a man. Have you ever looked for her again?"

Meng Hongyan looked at Qu Lan with concern, but she had a gloating smile on her face.

Meng Hongyan deliberately exposed Qu Lan's heartache in front of everyone.

"Cousin, where did you hear this rumor? My sister obviously married Qiao Shangdong, but the family was poor at that time and had no money to prepare a wedding. How come it became an elopement in your case?"

Meng Haisheng lied with his eyes open to fool Meng Hongyan.

Two years have passed since this incident, and no one in the village mentioned it anymore. But Meng Hongyan, the cousin, brought it up again in front of her family.

Since she didn't regard their family as relatives, Meng Haisheng wouldn't give her face.

"I remember correctly, your family was looking for a date for Meng Yu."

"At that time, I wanted to introduce a city person to Meng Yu, but the other party didn't like Meng Yu because she had a rural household registration."

At this point, Qu Lan's face was already very ugly. If Meng Haisheng hadn't been holding her arm, Qu Lan would have fought with Meng Hongyan on the spot.

"Cousin, you must be old and have a bad memory, or you have mixed up things with other families."

"My parents know that my sister is good friends with her classmates, and they never thought of marrying my sister to another place from the beginning."

"It's just that everyone in the countryside has no money, so my sister found a job outside after getting married."

"Two days ago, I told my parents that I would take them to Anxin City to see my sister."

Meng Haisheng lied without blinking, and even Qu Lan next to him began to doubt whether her memory was confused.

Meng Hongyan, who had only a vague understanding of the matter, was so fooled by Meng Haisheng that she could not say a word and could only smile awkwardly.

She now did not know whether Meng Haisheng was right or the rumors she had heard were right.

"Cousin, you saw my sister setting up a stall in that vegetable market. I remember my sister said before that she was in the Jiayuguan Road vegetable market."

Meng Haisheng said this purely to trick Meng Hongyan. Anxin City likes to use Jiayuguan and Shanhaiguan as street names, so Meng Haisheng made up a lie.

"No, I saw her in the Zhengyangguan Road vegetable market. She was wearing a dark blue coat and her hair was greasy. I almost didn't recognize her."

Meng Hongyan said this deliberately to stimulate Qu Lan.

If it was in the past, when Meng Hongyan said this about Meng Yu, Qu Lan would definitely fight her to the death.

But today, when Qu Lan heard that Meng Hongyan had seen Meng Yu in Anxin City, Qu Lan was happy from the bottom of her heart.

Their family went to Qiao's house twice but didn't find any clues. Now they finally know where Meng Yu is. Qu Lan wants to thank Meng Hongyan for providing such an important clue.

"It seems that my sister didn't make much money outside. In a few days, when my house is almost built, my elder brother and I will go to pick up my sister. Now life at home is much better than in Anxin City."

Meng Haisheng is usually very low-key in the village, but today he doesn't want to be low-key at all.

"Haisheng, why do you want to build a house again? Didn't you just borrow money to build four new houses when you got married?"

"The borrowed money was paid back a long time ago. I feel that the house I live in now is a bit small, so I approved a piece of homestead from the village and prepared to build 6 large tiled houses."

There are not many people in the village who can build 6 large tiled houses. Meng Hongyan, who was arrogant just now, instantly changed her attitude towards Meng Haisheng.

"Haisheng, what did you do to make so much money?"

"Nothing, I just do some business of reselling medicinal materials to make ends meet."

"My cousin interrupted me and I almost forgot to tell grandma about the business."

"My aunt, come with me to the county to open a small daycare center. I will pay you 40 yuan a month, okay?"

When Meng Haisheng said this, everyone on the scene was shocked.

Now even female workers in textile factories cannot get 40 yuan a month.

"No, no, it's too high. You won't make money at the beginning of your daycare center. It's good enough for you to give your aunt 20."

"You have to buy vegetables and cook by yourself, 20 is definitely not enough. Grandma, just listen to me. According to 40, my aunt is not young anymore, she should save more for her dowry."

"As long as my aunt has money and a stable job, it's hard to say in the city, but she can pick any young man in the county."

Meng Haisheng's words woke Grandma Meng up from her dream. She was almost confused by Meng Hongyan's words just now.

Rather than letting Meng Xuan marry a divorced high-ranking official far away, it is better to let her settle down in the county. Although she may not be rich, she can still have enough food and clothing.

"Okay, Haisheng is settled."

Meng HongyanSeeing that Grandma Meng didn't want Meng Xuan to marry in Anxin City, she immediately got angry.

She had received 200 yuan in bribes before she came.

If this marriage could be concluded, the man could give her 500 yuan in hard work later.

Meng Hongyan originally thought that the 700 yuan was almost taken for nothing.

Now that the duck in her hand was about to fly away, she was naturally unwilling.

"Hongyan, let's not talk about this. Xiaoxuan is my only daughter, how can I bear to let her marry far away."

Grandpa Meng, who had been silent, took a puff of his pipe and looked at Meng Hongyan very calmly.

Meng Hongyan, who wanted to talk more, stopped talking instantly.

She was still a little afraid of Grandpa Meng.

Such a good marriage was disturbed by Meng Haisheng, and Meng Hongyan was so angry that her teeth ached.

After Meng Haisheng made things clear, he did not stay for long, so as not to dislike Meng Hongyan.

After coming out of Grandma Meng's house, Qu Lan finally recovered and suddenly grabbed Meng Haisheng's arm.

"Haisheng, go to Anxin City with your elder brother tomorrow. The sooner you find your sister, the sooner your mother can feel at ease."

"Okay, tomorrow morning, my elder brother and I will take a long-distance bus to Anxin City and bring my sister back no matter what."

Finding Meng Yu is more important than the nursery class. Meng Haisheng would rather delay for a day than let Meng Yu stay outside for another day.

When he went home for dinner in the evening, Meng Haisheng talked about Meng Yu with Lin Mucheng.

"If everything goes well, I will be back tomorrow afternoon. I just don't know if I can catch the bus back to town after I get to the county."

"If I can't come back then, ask Mom to come over and sleep with you and Momo at night."

"Okay, be careful on the road. There are a lot of thieves on long-distance buses. You must keep the money."

"I know. Otherwise, you can help me sew a pocket at this position of my pants. I will wear a belt and the money will definitely not be lost."

Meng Haisheng measured the position below the belly button.

"Which pants will you wear tomorrow? I will sew it for you now."

Lin Mucheng only took a quick look and turned away immediately, but she blushed at this glance.

Meng Haisheng muttered in his heart that his wife was too fond of blushing.

"Mom, sew a pocket for me too, and make it big."

Momo climbed onto Lin Mucheng's legs, pointed to her artificial cotton shirt, and then gestured on her chubby belly. She wanted to sew a big pocket there.

"What do you want a big bag for?"

Meng Haisheng took Momo off Lin Mucheng. Momo is a little fat boy now. Don't press Lin Mucheng.

"I want to put a lot of candy and a lot of food."

Meng Haisheng couldn't help laughing. Why is his little Momo a little greedy cat? She only knows how to eat snacks every day.

"We can't eat too much candy. Eating too much will cause toothache. Didn't you see that Dabao brother lost a tooth? He just ate too much candy."

Momo was frightened by Meng Haisheng.

Dabao of Meng Hailian's family is changing teeth at this time. One of his front teeth has fallen out, and he can't speak well.

Lin Mucheng, who was standing aside, listened to the conversation between the father and daughter and laughed so hard.

Meng Haisheng even lied to children.
