Chapter 16

Meng Ning looked at his father’s greedy expression and curled the corners of his lips slightly.

A greedy person is much easier to deal with than a stubborn person.

“Dad, do you want double the betrothal money?”

Father Meng was slightly stunned.

What? Can the betrothal money be doubled?

Is there such a good thing in the world?

“Ningning? Is there really a double amount of betrothal money?”

Meng Ning smiled mysteriously, “As long as you listen to me, you will get it!”

When Mr. Meng thought of the double betrothal gift, he couldn’t help but think of the bright red braised pork, and he smacked his lips unconsciously.

“Okay, as long as you have money, you can get whatever you say!”

Meng Ning felt relieved when he saw that his parents had taken the bait.

“Mom and Dad, Meng Xue already knows that she is not my uncle’s biological daughter. I know that apart from my family and the village chief, no one else knows about this…”

Meng Ning then told her parents what she had tricked Meng Xue into saying.

After hearing this, Meng’s mother frowned.

“Ningning, you’re not asking us to recognize her as our daughter? What’s the situation in our family? Don’t you know? If there’s one more pair of mouths to feed, our family won’t be able to handle it!”

After all, there is not much to eat at home, and we can only eat until we are 70% to 80% full every day.

If there is one more mouth to feed, won’t we still go hungry?

Father Meng listened for a long time but still didn’t understand. He could earn work points by hiring a gangster, but what could he do with a money-losing gangster?

“That won’t do. I won’t admit it!”

Meng Ning smiled slightly and continued, “Mom and Dad, why are you paying for it?

If Meng Xue becomes your daughter, who do you think she should marry?

Isn’t her betrothal gift yours?

And there is extra free labor at home!

Isn’t this a win-win situation? ”

Father Meng was still somewhat unhappy.

After all, Meng Xue has been spoiled by her elder brother since she was a child, what can she do?

“Will Xiaoxue agree?”

“She is your daughter, and you are her only relatives. This is not her decision!”

Mother Meng looked at Meng Ning in front of her and always felt that he looked a little strange.

What has she been through in March?

“Ningning, if we recognize Xiaoxue, does that mean you are no longer our daughter?

Even if you get married, there’s no need for us to recognize Xiaoxue, right?

Did something happen? ”

Of course Meng Ning didn’t want to be their daughter anymore. For her own future, she had to cut off ties with them.

“Mom, I’m not together in name only, but privately we are still mother and daughter!

I will honor you two from time to time!

To tell you the truth, I snatched Brother Mu Nian from Meng Xue.

I don’t want her to stay in the Xi family, I just want to find a good place for her. ”

She glanced at Father Meng as she spoke, “Dad and Mom, you know that city people look down on us country folk.

If they knew about the situation in our family, do you think my position in my husband’s family would be good?

Only if I live well, can you have a good life! ”

Father Meng felt that what Meng Ning said made sense, but he would not give in easily without getting any benefits.

“You talked for a long time, but you didn’t say how much the gift is?

Meng Ning sneered.

“At least it’s more than what that cripple gave!”

When Meng’s father saw Meng Ning casually took out twenty yuan, the betrothal gift must be two hundred yuan, right?

As long as the money is in place, everything is easy to discuss!

Isn’t it just recognizing a daughter?

When the time comes, I can sell my daughter and make another sum of money.

Besides, Meng Xue was raised by his elder brother, and she is even prettier than Meng Ning.

He remembered that the village chief’s son was very concerned about that girl Meng Xue!

“Once we receive the betrothal money, we will do as you say!”

Meng Ning nodded.

“I came back this time to get the certificate and go through the formalities. Only once Brother Mu Nian and I get the certificate can we give you the betrothal gift!”

Father Meng couldn’t wait to say, “If that’s the case, why don’t you hurry up and get the certificate?”

Meng Ning also wanted to get a certificate and leave quickly!

She didn’t want to stay here any longer.

But thinking that things had not been explained clearly, she could only endure it silently.

“Dad, this matter still depends on you!”

As she spoke, she took out two boxes of Daqianmen cigarettes from her pocket and handed them to Mr. Meng.

“Dad, this is to honor you. The village chief is relying on you!

Be quick!

If someone comes to the village to recognize their relatives in the future, they must say that the daughter who was picked up is me!

Meng Xue is your biological daughter! ”

Although Mr. Meng didn’t know what Meng Ning was up to?

But considering that she was respecting her, she nodded and agreed.

Only after seeing that his parents agreed did Meng Ning go to the village chief’s house to get a letter of introduction.

When Meng’s mother saw Meng Ning was about to leave after receiving the letter, she tried to persuade him to stay.

“Xiao Ning, stay at home for two nights before leaving! Mommy can’t bear to leave you, right?”

Meng Ning sneered in his heart as he looked at his mother’s affectionate expression.

How had she exploited her in the past?

All the dirty and tiring work at home, isn’t it her job?

Is there something delicious close to her two sons?

And she could only eat what they left.

I’m so reluctant to let go!

“Mom, there are only four boards at home, and there is no place for me to sleep!

I’d better go back. Maybe I can reach the town by dark!

Besides, the sooner I go back, the sooner I can prepare the betrothal gifts for you! ”

Father Meng still didn’t quite believe what Meng Ning said was true!

Afraid she’ll never come back.

“How about this! It’s not easy for you to deliver the betrothal gifts, why don’t I accompany you to the town?

It saves you the trouble! ”

Meng Ning looked at her father who seemed to be thinking about her and sneered in her heart.

How could she not know what she was planning?

“Dad, come back with me, I can’t get a marriage certificate with Brother Mu Nian today.

Why don’t we wait five days, when there’s a big market in town, and then we meet there?

Why not take advantage of these few days to think about how to take care of the village chief’s family! ”

Father Meng thought about it and it was true. If they arrived in the town at this time, it would be dark.

“Okay, then let’s do as you say!”

Meng Ning felt relieved when he saw his father compromise.

“Dad, Mom, take care, I’m leaving now!”

Unfortunately, Meng Ning met the lame Wang Gang on his way back.

Wang Gang had already set his eyes on Meng Ning, and even discussed the bride price with her father some time ago.

“Isn’t this Ningning? When did you come back? Where are you going?”

Meng Ning felt a chill in her heart as she watched Wang Gang limping and blocking her way.

She walked far away from the village. There was no village in front and no shop behind, and there was no one else on the road except them.

She frowned at Wang Gang’s blatantly malicious look.

“Wang Gang, what are you doing? A good dog doesn’t block the road!”

Wang Gang chuckled. “Oh, you’ve been away for three days, and you still have guts? You call me a dog?”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands three times and said “good” three times in a row.

“That’s great!”

He reached forward and grasped Meng Ning’s arms.

Meng Ning wanted to break free, but couldn’t.

Although he had a lame leg, he was a man after all and had extraordinary strength.

“Anyway, your father wants to sell you to me as my wife, and you call me a dog, so I’ll make you a bitch in heat!”

As Wang Gang said this, he forcibly dragged Meng Ning towards the overgrown grove.

Meng Ning was frightened by his actions and kept struggling and shouting for help.

Someone nearby Wang Gang quickly covered her mouth.

He looked around to make sure there was no one.

He carried Meng Xue on his shoulders and headed towards the depths of the grove.
