Chapter 198
Chapter 198
Meng Haisheng looked through the window and saw Meng Hongyan entering the yard with a strange man.
Why would Meng Hongyan suddenly come to visit during the Chinese New Year?
In previous years, Meng Hongyan would only return to her hometown once every few years, and in recent years, she has not returned for two consecutive years.
According to her, Xiashan Village is too poor, and it is freezing cold to sleep in winter, and going to the toilet can freeze half of your life.
In order to live two more years, it is better for her to come back less often.
Meng Haisheng was a little surprised. How dare Meng Hongyan come back to die this year.
"Cousin, why are you here during the Chinese New Year."
Meng Haisheng came over and greeted Meng Hongyan with a smile.
"Of course I'm here for good things."
Meng Hongyan walked into the house with the strange man beside her.
Meng Haisheng saw that the man was not young, and looked to be in his 40s.
He was still wondering if the man in front of him was Meng Hongyan's husband. He didn't think so. He remembered that Meng Hongyan's husband was short and fat, but the man in front of him was a little thin.
"Meng Xuan, look who I brought."
As soon as Meng Hongyan entered the room, she saw Meng Xuan wearing a plum-colored wool sweater.
In recent months, Meng Xuan has been teaching in a nursery class. She is not exposed to wind or rain, and she eats well.
Her originally fair face is now even whiter and tenderer.
Meng Hongyan was shocked and looked at Wen Qingping beside her with a smile on her face.
As expected, when Wen Qingping saw Meng Xuan, his eyes were straight.
He never expected that the country girl from the past would become so beautiful.
The wool sweater she was wearing looked like it was made of pure wool, and it would cost at least dozens of yuan to buy it.
It seems that Meng Hongyan was right. It seems that the old Meng family is really rich.
Fortunately, I came in time, otherwise Meng Xuan would be married soon next year.
"Cousin, why did you bring Comrade Wen here?"
Meng Xuan glanced at Wen Qingping and his face looked a little ugly.
"If I didn't call Xiao Wen here, you would still be hesitating."
Meng Hongyan pushed Wen Qingping to the inner room.
"Cousin, cousin, this is Wen Qingping, he is a high-ranking official in Anxin City, he has long been interested in Meng Xuan, but Meng Xuan is young after all, and she doesn't think things through, so you two have to decide between the two of them."
"This time Xiao Wen drove to visit our family specially."
While talking, Wen Qingping put the gift in his hand on the kang.
He bought two cans of malted milk, two packs of calcium milk biscuits, a bag of fruit hard candy and a bag of candied fruit.
To be honest, if it is a normal visit to relatives, these gifts are still very presentable.
But if it is a visit to a girlfriend's house during the New Year, these things are somewhat shabby.
This is a big boss, but he can't even afford to buy an apple, not even a bottle of wine.
"Hongyan, didn't we agree at that time that this matter would be forgotten and never mentioned again? Why did you bring him here?"
Mrs. Meng glanced at Wen Qingping in front of her, and her face was not very good.
The man in front of her was wearing a straight Zhongshan suit, silver glasses, and slightly bald hair. Even if he was said to be 50, I'm afraid no one would believe it.
Such a man, how could he be worthy of Meng Xuan, a beautiful girl.
"Cousin, Xiao Wen really likes Meng Xuan, and he came here today with sincerity."
Meng Hongyan winked at Wen Qingping, and he took out a gold ring in a red velvet box directly from his pocket.
"As long as Meng Xuan agrees to marry me, I will arrange a job for her as a kindergarten teacher in Anxin City."
"After marriage, if Meng Xuan doesn't want to work, she can also be a full-time wife at home. I have two children at home, and Meng Xuan can take care of them at home."
"But since I have arranged a job for Meng Xuan, I won't give too much in terms of betrothal gifts. I have prepared 200 yuan."
"As for the three turns and one ring, the village is always power-restricted, I think it's okay not to buy it."
Meng Haisheng on the side understood that the old man wanted to marry Meng Xuan, a young wife, to be his nanny, and he didn't want to give a betrothal gift.
He really wanted to kick Wen Qingping's head open to see if it was filled with tofu dregs.
Is he really taking all the good things in the world?
"Comrade Wen, I think there must be some misunderstanding. There is no possibility for my aunt and you, so don't waste your time here."
Meng Haisheng directly rejected Wen Qingping. He was an old man and he could marry whoever he wanted, so he didn't bother their family members anymore.
"Hey, Haisheng, you are a junior, why are you interfering in the affairs of the elders? Get out quickly, we can discuss this matter among a few people."
Meng Hongyan knew very well that Meng Haisheng was cunning and it was not easy to fool him.
"Haisheng and the others are not children, it's okay for them to listen here.""Hongyan, I only have Meng Xuan, my daughter who came to be with me in my old age. I don't want her to marry far away."
Although Grandpa Meng is an old man in the countryside, he knows what's going on. His daughter is fine and will not have to worry about getting married. Why should she be a stepmother to someone else?
According to Wen Qingping's age, his two children are not young anymore. Meng Xuan will probably just get bullied if she goes there.
"Cousin, look at what you're saying. Anxin City is not far from us. Besides, Xiao Wen has a car. If Meng Xuan wants to go home in the future, Xiao Wen can drive back in a short while."
"Cousin, what car? Did Comrade Wen buy it himself?"
Meng Haisheng's words hit Wen Qingping's heart.
"I have a high position in the unit. The unit provides me with a car. Naturally, I can use it whenever I want."
"Isn't this using a public car for personal purposes? Comrade Wen, you have to pay attention. If someone in the unit sues you, your iron rice bowl will be broken."
Wen Qingping was blocked by Meng Haisheng. He was almost depressed to death.
He is just a clerk in the unit, where can he use the public bus? He was able to drive here today, and he asked the unit driver to help him make this trip while his leader was on a business trip.
When people heard that he was coming to his father-in-law's house, they didn't even ask for cigarettes.
"Meng Haisheng, can you, a junior, say less? People say that it is better to demolish a temple than to destroy a marriage. Why can't you see your aunt doing well?"
Meng Haisheng sneered.
"Cousin, you are still good to my aunt. Then tell me, what's the good of my aunt marrying a second marriage? There are so many young men that she won't marry. Why does she want to marry a bald uncle in his 40s?"
"Just because of the 200 yuan betrothal gift?"
"What do you know? Xiao Wen is a little older, but he loves his wife. In the future, Meng Xuan will marry him to enjoy life and be an official's wife."
Meng Haisheng almost burst out laughing when he heard Meng Hongyan say this.
"Cousin, it's been many years since the liberation, and you're still the wife of an official. Are you trying to do the capitalist thing?"
After being accused of this, Wen Qingping couldn't sit still.
"If you feel the betrothal gift is too little, I can add another 200."
"I don't want Meng Xuan's dowry even if I give so much betrothal gift. She just needs to be good to my two children in the future."
"Comrade Wen, you always say you're good to your two children. I suggest you hire a nanny for your two children instead of marrying a wife."
Meng Haisheng has no patience for people he hates, and he wants to chase them away.
