Chapter 91 If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb
Previous Chapter Contents Next Chapter
Mei Yali hated disputes, so she made up her mind from the beginning to take the money Mei Zhijun left for her.
Fortunately, she has been managing her own money since the first grade of junior high school, although it was only living expenses and pocket money.
With her good credit and rich experience, it was not difficult to convince Mei Zhijun to give her the money.
In the following year, Mei Yali continued to live a dull high school life, spending most of her time in school and only returning home once every two weeks.
The only difference from before is that the "home" she returns to now is no longer her own home, but the homes of her relatives.
She said she visited various relatives, but in fact she went to Mei Zhizhong's house eight out of ten times.
Firstly, it was because Mei Zhizhong and Zheng Juan were very kind to her and had the closest blood relationship with her; and secondly, it was because her child Xiao Hei was now being fostered in Mei Zhizhong's home.
Every time she was picked up by Mei Zhizhong or Zheng Juan, she would buy two delicious meals in advance.
The extra portion was for her uncle's family, and the small portion of meat was specifically for Xiao Hei.
Due to health reasons, her aunt has not been able to conceive after ten years of marriage.
When Mei Yali was ten years old, someone threw a newborn baby girl at her doorstep.
Under the persuasion of Mei Zhizhong's mother-in-law, she and Mei Zhizhong adopted the baby girl through formal adoption procedures and named her "Mei Yaqin".
Mei Yaqin is just over one year old now, and is as cute as a pink ball.
In Mei Yali's previous life, her uncle and aunt loved this girl very much, and even the people from the Zheng family and the Mei family looked up to this child in every way.
Of course, the Zheng family here refers to all of Zheng Juan’s maternal family, while the Mei family specifically refers to Mei Jinfeng and Mei Zhijun’s family.
As weird as Zhao Huiying is, even though she knows that Mei Yaqin is the life of Mei Zhizhong and Zheng Juan, she still treats her with condescending attitude.
As for Mei Zhiming and Mei Zhifeng.
Mei Zhifeng treats all his nephews and nieces in the same manner. Although he doesn't love them very much, there is nothing wrong with him either.
Mei Zhiming followed the same approach as Zhao Huiying.
They all thought that Mei Yaqin was not even as good as a fingernail of Mei Zhiming's only son.
The only difference is that Zhao Huiying openly expressed her disapproval of Mei Yaqin to everyone, while Mei Zhiming only secretly caused trouble for Mei Zhizhong and his wife in various trivial matters in daily life.
Only Mei Jinfeng and Mei Zhijun's family truly treated Mei Yaqin as a junior or a younger sister and loved her.
In late January 2001, at the invitation of Wang Xiulan, Mei Yali went to live with her grandmother in Majia Village.
In fact, she was very reluctant to go to Majia Village, because to her, She Fenggang was only slightly better than Zhao Huiying, but she couldn't bear to reject Wang Xiulan who truly loved her.
Furthermore, she also wanted to give New Year gifts to Mr. She and Mrs. She on behalf of Mei Zhijun and She Yufen.
Because she has been saving her own money since her freshman year in high school, Mei Yali now has nearly 30,000 yuan in savings.
With a full wallet, she is more confident. Since she has enough money on hand, she doesn't want to owe favors to others that can be repaid with money. So every time Mei Yali is invited to visit her relatives, she always brings large and small bags of gifts.
Thanks to Wang
Xiulan raised sheep herself, so Mei Yali did not buy cow's milk or goat's milk for Wang Xiulan.
She bought apples and oranges, which the farmers here seldom took home to eat, as well as frozen pears and frozen persimmons, which the farmers here must buy to eat during festivals.
In addition, she also bought a box of honey waterless cakes, a box of old-fashioned honey twisted dough sticks, a box of walnut cakes, a box of old-fashioned hot dog buns, two cans of malted milk, and a pair of suede boots with rabbit fur lining suitable for elderly women to wear in winter.
As a little kid who is not even eleven years old, her gift is full of sincerity.
As for Mr. She and Mrs. She, in addition to the identical New Year gifts, she also bought two thick knee-length down jackets for Mr. She and Mrs. She respectively.
Because of this incident, She Fenggang's face has been unhappy since he met Mei Yali.
Mei Yali didn't take She Fenggang's dissatisfaction to heart. She would pour out her heart and lungs to drink with She Fenggang, and She Fenggang would not be nice to her out of character, so why should she care about his expression?
He likes to show a cold face, so let him do it, she will just pretend she saw nothing.
Now she is not a real eleven-year-old child.
Inside her tender skin lies a mature soul with forty years of life experience, equivalent to two lifetimes combined.
She would no longer be like her teenage self in her previous life, who would become upset and confused if she was treated harshly by Zhao Huiying or She Fenggang.
She has already learned the little skill of "no matter which direction the wind blows, I remain unmoved". Not to mention being given the cold shoulder by others, even if She Fenggang pointed at her nose and cursed at her, she would never compromise.
After being ignored for a whole day, She Fenggang, who had originally hoped that Mei Yali would have some understanding and awareness, finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
He gave up using this "subtle and implicit" way to punish Mei Yali.
It was noon on January 24th, and Wang Xiulan brought a bowl of rabbit meat to Mei Yali.
"Grandma saved this especially for you. Eat it while it's hot." Wang Xiulan said as she stared at Mei Yali with her kind and expectant eyes.
Mei Yali has always valued dignity more than interests. Not to mention that she is not short of money now and has never treated herself badly in terms of food and clothing, even in her previous life when she had suffered a lot, she had never been laughed at or scolded for eating.
Almost subconsciously, she raised her hand and moved the bowl of rabbit meat in front of She Meidi.
But before she could say anything, She Fenggang spoke first with a gloomy face, "I was wondering why there was so little rabbit meat this time, it turns out you picked out the good ones and left them for her."
Wang Xiulan glared at him and said, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb. How come there is such a big rabbit but you are missing some meat to eat?"
She Fenggang put the chopsticks on the kang table with a "bang", raised his eyebrows and was about to argue with Wang Xiulan.
The familiar scene made Mei Yali feel extremely complicated, but she still repeated what she had said in her previous life very smoothly.
"Grandpa, you eat it. Meidi eats it too. I don't like meat. Grandma, you don't have to worry about me." While saying this, Mei Yali signaled Wang Xiulan with her eyes to stop.
On the one hand, Wang Xiulan didn't want to quarrel with She Fenggang in front of the two children, but on the other hand, she was afraid that if they really quarreled, Mei Yali would be even more uneasy about her meal, so she immediately went to the kitchen again to get something.
