Zheng Guoqing put his hands in his pockets, his face irritated.
Feng Yanhong wants a compensation of 150 yuan. He can't afford that much now, and he may not be able to borrow it. If he wants to solve this matter, he may have to work hard on Feng Yanhong.
Although he didn't know why Feng Yanhong suddenly changed her attitude towards him, it was true that she seemed tough and difficult to get along with, and she was soft-hearted.
What happened in the morning was actually messed up by Miao Guizhi. It would be best to talk to Feng Yanhong alone in the afternoon.
"Well, it's National Day. Mom doesn't have enough money, can you..."
"I don't have any money either. Didn't my dad give you money? You won't spend it all so quickly!"
Zheng Guoqing glanced at Miao Guizhi and asked without any politeness.
Miao Guizhi's face turned pale. How could she dare to touch that money? The money she had dug out for herself in the past few years had just been paid by Qiaohui as a fine. Now she really didn't have any money.
"Well, that's the money for your engagement. You can't use it casually. All the money Mom had was spent at the police station... How come you don't have any money? Isn't your salary only paid on the 10th?"
"If you say you have no money, you have no money! Why talk so much!"
Zheng Guoqing furrowed his brows and stepped forward with an annoyance, leaving the mother and daughter far behind.
Zheng Qiaohui looked at Zheng Guoqing's retreating back and complained: "Mom, you made my brother angry again!"
"Qiaohui, you..."
"Forget it, forget it, I'm hungry, Mom, I want to eat cold noodles."
Miao Guizhi pinched the handkerchief in her pocket, feeling indescribable pain in her heart.
"Qiao Hui, there is no such precious thing as cold noodles in this remote place. Mom will take you to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two steamed buns."
Zheng Qiaohui immediately became unhappy when she heard about eating steamed buns. "I don't eat steamed buns! You can also eat ramen."
"Qiaohui, mom really doesn't have enough money. I just paid a fine for you..."
"The fine is only ten yuan, and you always say you have no money. My dad is a senior technician, and his salary is higher than that of ordinary people, but why can't you even get a few cents out of it!"
Zheng Qiaohui's resentment that she had accumulated for a long time finally broke out. Since yesterday, she has not met a good thing, and now she cannot be satisfied even if she wants to eat something.
How could she not be angry!
Obviously her father is a senior technician and gets a monthly subsidy in addition to his salary, but their family has been unable to eat pork for many years.
If she wants to eat some meat, she has to rely on charity from the Feng family. Even if she can only eat a little bit every month, her father and brother can eat it, but she has to look at his face if she picks up more chopsticks!
Why!
It's all her mother's fault. She hasn't even had a job for so many years, and she's not even loved by her father.
Zheng Qiaohui stood at the station aggrievedly, tears streaming down her face.
Miao Guizhi also felt sad. When had she ever been in charge of this family in so many years?
All the money she spent had to be approved by Lao Zheng. She had been working hard for so many years, but what had she missed?
Now his daughter is complaining to him that his life is worse than that of Bai Xiu, who has been married twice!
"Listen to what Mom said, let's make a cushion first and wait until we go to Feng's house in the afternoon and let your Aunt Bai make you something to eat, okay? Her house must be stewing meat today. Let's endure it and go eat it in the afternoon.
Meat......"
Miao Guizhi finally bought a sugar cake for Zheng Qiaohui and a steamed bun for herself. Mother and daughter squatted in front of the supply and marketing cooperative to have a lunch.
"On National Day, give Mom 50 cents to buy a bottle of canned fruit for Yanhong. If we go there empty-handed, I'm afraid we won't be able to get in. Mom really doesn't have enough money."
Miao Guizhi didn't need to bring anything with her when she went to Feng's house in the past, but this time they were really in the wrong. They just didn't go in the door in the morning. They definitely couldn't do it now if they didn't spend some money.
Zheng Guoqing looked around at the mother and daughter. Not knowing what he was planning, he entered the supply and marketing cooperative impatiently. After a while, he came out with a bottle of canned fruit and a bag of sugar and snatched it from Miao Guizhi's hand.
The net bag inside.
"Let's go!"
"Mom, can I not go?"
Zheng Qiaohui thought of Feng Yanhong's face yesterday and felt a little resentful towards the Feng family.
"No, you have to go and apologize to your sister Yanhong, otherwise your brother's marriage will be ruined, and you won't be able to explain it to your father then."
Miao Guizhi dragged Zheng Qiaohui a few steps and mentioned that Zheng's father, Zheng Qiaohui, was finally honest.
******
"What are you doing here again?!" Hearing the knock on the door, Feng Yanjun, who was chopping firewood in the yard, was wearing a red vest, covered in sweat and holding an ax in his hand. When he opened the door, he saw the three members of the Zheng family, and he was instantly angry.
Seeing that it was Feng Yanjun who opened the door, and seeing the ax in his hand, Zheng Guoqing instinctively stepped back, half of his cheek began to throb again, and he retreated behind Miao Guizhi.
"Yanjun, Aunt Miao brought National Day and Qiaohui to apologize to your sister, and she brought canned food to replenish your sister's health."
Feng Yanjun looked coldly at the bottle of canned fruit and a bag of sugar in Zheng Guoqing's hand, and sneered.
"Haha~"
"My family doesn't need anything rare. I just need to pay for the medical expenses."
His sister said that the medical expenses should not be less than 150 cents. Who are you trying to fool with a broken can of fruit?
"Feng Yanjun, how dare you talk to my mother like this! My mother is your elder, and it was our family that saved your mother and your sister's lives back then!"
Miao Guizhi hurriedly tugged on Zheng Qiaohui's sleeves and gave her a look to silence her. Then she turned to face Feng Yanjun, her eyes becoming kind again.
"Zheng Qiaohui, please stop talking about this. My mother has always been grateful for your family's help in the past. She has often let your family take away things over the years."
"It's been over ten years. I won't talk about anything else. There are eighty or ninety chickens and ducks, if not a hundred, right? The two bowls of rice soup you had at home were really worth my money!"
After listening to Feng Yanjun's words, Miao Guizhi's face became a little helpless. Her smiling face froze again and again, and finally she said to Feng Yanjun in a gentle voice:
"Yanjun, Aunt Miao brought the two of them here to really apologize. I still have a lot of things to say to your mother, so just let Aunt Miao go in..."
Bai Xiu had long heard the movement in front of the door, and hurried over. She had already heard what Zheng Qiaohui said just now. Her face was not very happy, and she opened the half-closed door angrily.
"Sister Miao, if you have anything to say, please say it here. My girl hurt her head and needs to rest. Besides, we just broke off the engagement in the morning and I will let you in in the afternoon. I'm afraid it will be unpleasant to say this."
"Xiu'er, if we have something to say, go in and talk it over. We still value Yanhong very much, and the relationship between our two families is here. We know the root of it."
"That Liu Meili, Liu Meili is just wishful thinking and is following our National Day. Please tell your mother-in-law a quick word on National Day."
When Miao Guizhi heard that Bai Xiu, who had been hesitant, did not acknowledge the marriage, she felt furious.
Bai Xiu glared at Zheng Guoqing, who was covered in bruises, and said to Miao Guizhi with an indifferent expression:
"This is your family's matter. We won't get involved. I really can't stand the mother-in-law's words on National Day. Sister Miao should go back early with her two children. We have to go there later."
