Chapter 101 Meiyang(1/2)
Regarding her father's idea, the system told Mei Bei to give up her father's idea before Mei Bei asked the system whether it would work.
[If your family runs away with the heroine, can the heroine still be called the heroine?]
The system asked Mayberry angrily.
[Ah, what about our family asking the heroine to take us on a run? 】
System: [That’s not impossible, she is the heroine after all.]
Boy, this system has enough double standards.
[Then just think that we are begging the heroine to let her run away with us.]
system:???
Who are you trying to get around here?
[Anyway, we just ask the hostess to do things, so don’t worry about what we ask her to do. 】
Meiberry's words were so angry that the system lost the words to refute. It was dumbfounded.
Is this what it says?!
Why does it feel like there's something wrong with this statement?
Seeing that the system was silent, Mayberry snickered secretly.
Although her father's opinion was a temporary suggestion from above, the system actually rejected it directly as if it were from above.
Then don't blame Mayberry for making this rookie system shut down directly.
As expected, artificial intelligence cannot defeat a living person.
It's really fast to go to the county by water.
In less than an hour, Meiberry saw a pier larger than Lihu Town appearing in front of her.
The majestic wharf and port were like a mirage, and in addition to the surrounding bustling wharf, there were also a series of lively markets, all appearing in front of Mayberry's eyes.
It wasn't until she got off the dock that Meiberry realized that the dock in Jinbai County was close to the county seat.
Because of the cargo ships coming and going at the pier, a lively market has formed here stretching from the pier to the entrance to the county town.
A dazzling array of goods from the north and south are piled on the stalls on both sides, making everyone who comes here dizzy.
Mei Youqian: "There is a tea vendor. Oh, and there is fermented bean curd!"
Mei Bei was fascinated by what she saw and couldn't even speak. But her father was different. He saw it and had to express his excitement in words.
"Wow, look, my dear! Pearls! Isn't this the pearl powder your mother used to put on for facial masks?"
Mayberry: "..."
"Let's... go in first."
Mei Mei took a deep breath and was no longer confused by the colorful world in front of her. She dragged her father into the city and went to the bank to exchange money according to what Mr. Xue said.
It's just that Meiberry only exchanged fifty taels of cash this time, and the remaining four hundred and fifty taels had to be exchanged by the bank for nine small denominations of 50 taels each.
The father and his daughter left in a hurry, with both hands empty. If they exchanged five hundred taels of silver directly, how embarrassing would it be when they went out?
"Daughter, let's... go for a walk?"
After leaving the bank, Mei Youqian, who had been wanting to buy something for a long time, was already rubbing his hands impatiently and staring at his daughter with bright eyes.
Seeing this, Mei Bei took out a list from the space that her mother had made yesterday and said: "Mom said, buy according to the list. After buying, we will buy what we want to buy, but
Personal consumption is not allowed to exceed five taels."
"Okay, that fermented bean curd costs 50 cents a can, and the boss said the price can be negotiated if the quantity is large~"
Mayberry:??
Her dad took the money just to buy fermented bean curd?
Wait, when did her dad ask someone for the price?
Just when Mayberry was confused, a clear male voice came from behind them:
"Second brother?"
In this regard, Mei Youqian and Mei Pei just thought that there were so many people on the road and they were not calling their own, so they did not look back and continued to move forward. They first bought the things her mother told them.
It wasn't until the hurried footsteps behind them got closer and closer, and then the words "Mei Erniu?" that the father and daughter turned around.
When she turned around, Meiberry immediately recognized who this person was.
Yo~ Isn’t this her fourth uncle?
The fourth son of the Mei family, Mei Yang.
"Ah, Fourth Brother, why are you here!?"
Mei Youqian's voice was surprisingly loud, and there was a little uncertainty in Mei Yang's voice when he stepped forward to call him. The moment Mei Yang saw him open his mouth, people passing by couldn't help but cast doubtful glances.
Mei Yang frowned subconsciously when he saw this, and took two steps back, his eyes wandering as if he wanted to draw a clear line.
Just like that, you still have to come up and say hello, yue!
Mei Youqian couldn't help but feel disgusted in his heart.
This is so hypocritical that not even Mayberry can complain about it.
"Second brother, why are you bringing... Sanya here?"
Noticing that the adults and children in front of him were not looking very good at him, Mei Yang squeezed the folding fan in his hand, and his eyes fell on Mei Youqian and Mei Berry again, with a business-like fake smile on his face.
He looked at Mei Mei and Mei Youqian from head to toe. He saw that the clothes of the father and daughter were still wearing the lowest quality fabrics, but they were clean and tidy without patches.
This is far different from Mei Yang's dirty look and ragged appearance that he saw at home all day long.
"I'm taking my daughter here for a stroll. What do you have in mind?"
"Ah...I'm not..." Mei Yang waved his hands quickly.
When the two brothers were communicating, Mei Berry just kept staring at Mei Yang.
He has a fair face, and is wearing a silk gown that scholars like, and thick-soled cloth boots on his feet. It can be seen that he doesn't go out much on weekdays, and the soles of his shoes are very clean.
Her fourth uncle lived such a magical life.
The folding fan he held in his hand also had flowers and birds painted on it. Although Mei Mei had no experience in Chinese painting, it could be seen that the fan was of good quality.
There is even a jade pendant hanging on his waist. Although the jade pendant is not big, it is better because of its smooth texture.
There seemed to be words engraved on the jade pendant, but it was a bit far away, so Mei Berry didn't recognize what was engraved on it.
As if aware of Mei Berry's gaze, Mei Yang turned sideways, and the folding fan swayed in the direction of Mei Berry's gaze towards the jade pendant. Mei Yang immediately withdrew her gaze.
Hey, her fourth uncle is still a stingy person.
Mei Bei thought about it, then looked away, and tugged on the clothes on her father's back with her hands, asking him to get Mei Yang away quickly to avoid ruining her mood.
Seeing that Mei Bei no longer looked at him, Mei Yang looked at Mei Youqian again and asked slightly tentatively: "Second brother, I heard... that your family has been separated?"
"Heard? Who said it? Do you still need to hear about this?"
Instead of answering Mei Yang's question, Mei Youqian only asked him who he heard this from, which made Mei Yang very embarrassed.
"Big brother and dad were here before..."
"Oh, that's what I heard from my family. So can dad tell you this kind of thing?"
Mei Youqian seemed to be unable to see Mei Yang's embarrassment, and said, "Fourth child, are you stupid because of studying? You don't even believe what dad says?"
"No! I didn't!"
When it comes to reading, I don’t know if it’s because of repeated attempts over the years. Mei Yang is particularly sensitive to this aspect. He was so graceful before, but when he heard this, he was smiling just now.
Cracked instantly.
"Oh, then there won't be any."
Mei Youqian shrugged, showing a nonchalant look, but this look made Mei Yang feel that he was just saying no, but he was not sure how to laugh at himself.
Mei Yang's appearance is probably the most similar to Zhang's among the four brothers, so after chatting for a few words, Mei Youqian felt as if he was chatting with Zhang.
Mei Youqian didn't want to continue chatting with him, he was afraid that he might make the fourth child angry like he made his mother angry.
Hey, after all, he is not the only one who will be embarrassed after causing it.
But just in case he offends the fourth child, a group of people will come to the Mei family's old house, and he will be annoyed to death!
"By the way, the Dragon Boat Festival will be tomorrow. Will you go home to celebrate the festival?"
"Return."
"Oh, are you going back today or tomorrow? Do you want to come with us? We are not familiar with this county just now. Do you want to take me with you, Fourth..."
"My husband has something else to do, so I'll excuse you for now."
After hearing Mei Youqian's words, Mei Yang immediately turned around and left as if something was urgent.
If they continue to listen to this, Mei Laoer might ask him to take them around the county town.
To be continued...
