Instead of giving Ren Da pain relief, he changed the cloth and washed it just to make him feel refreshed. After changing it, Meng Li tidied up Ren Da and took the sewage out and poured it out.
She looked at this home and saw that there were too many things that needed to be changed. It was poor and dirty, and there was a strange smell everywhere.
After pouring the water, she took a look at the second girl. She sat on the edge of the bed and sulked. She slept with the third girl and her mother-in-law. There were two beds in one room, separated by a shabby curtain.
"What are you looking at?" She saw Meng Li staring at her.
Meng Li asked: "Why, your mother is poor, so you naturally look down on her?"
"Can you stop talking about poverty? Is poverty still reasonable?" Er Yatou retorted.
Meng Li raised his eyebrows and scolded: "Are you too poor to educate your children? No matter how poor you are, you grew up eating our food. I raised you, and I have the right to marry you or sell you. do you understand?"
"So you use this little bit of power to hurt me." The second girl felt aggrieved.
Meng Li sneered: "Little girl, you said that we treat you specially and complain about it every day, so we have to let you have a taste of it."
"It must be reasonable for a poor family to treat their daughter any way they want, even if they sell her, it is also reasonable."
Selling a daughter is nothing strange in this era. If the second girl insists on being a monster every day, it is recommended to break away from the relationship and just treat it as a waste to avoid trouble in the future.
Don't bring trouble to this family. Fortunately, in the plot, the family in Beijing only beat up the client's family. If it was more vicious, they wanted to kill the client's family and the client's family had no power to fight back.
This time I will definitely not let her get involved in a high official position, but I am also worried that she will cause other troubles in the future, and I really need to ask her to change her character.
"From today on, you will eat one meal every day, and you are not allowed to eat too much." Meng Li originally wanted to say that he is not allowed to eat now, but thinking that there will be meat for lunch, he should call Er Yatou. After all, she is just a teenager. The child has not eaten for so long, so it must be hard for her not to have this meal.
Also worried about backfire.
"Oh, I can stop eating now and save you a few mouthfuls of food. I hope you will gain weight and your family will be rich." The second girl did not accept Meng Li's sentiments and instead retorted.
The mother-in-law suddenly rushed over and scolded the second girl:
"If you don't want to eat, don't eat. You should never eat if you can. You act like a monster at home every day. Are you the ancestor? I have to provide for you? Be careful, old lady, I will marry you off tomorrow. You are really ignorant!"
"If you feel that this family has been wronged, then get married as soon as possible."
The second girl's eyes were red. She gritted her teeth and cursed angrily: "Damn old woman, I won't marry you. I will eat your food until you die."
"You..." The old woman's chest heaved up and down with anger. Meng Li walked over in two steps, stretched out his hand and slapped the second girl on the face with great force. Her face turned red instantly. She stared at Meng Li in astonishment. Meng Li said:
"Apologise to your grandmother."
How dare you scold her like this? You really don't understand the rules. Living in this era, if you marry into someone else's family, you will be beaten, so it is better to beat her at home before marrying off.
"No." The second girl said stubbornly.
Meng Li said: "Apologise!"
"No!" Her voice was clear and loud.
Meng Li slapped her again, and the other half of the girl's face was also red. She stared at Meng Li bitterly: "No, no, even if you beat me to death, I won't."
Meng Li smiled.
She turned to her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, don't worry about this matter. I will educate you well and then bring it to you to admit your mistake."
The old woman's expression softened and she said, "Whatever."
She went out first, and Meng Li directly dragged the second girl to his two sons' room, pushed her in, and said, "Please reflect on it for me in there."
The second girl stayed inside, staring straight at Meng Li. Meng Li sneered at her and locked the door directly.
Come out whenever you feel you are wrong. The two sons can sleep with Ren Da at night, and you can sleep with San Yatou at night, so just keep her in this room alone.
After a while, the old woman came out to take a look and found that the second girl was locked up. She came over and asked Meng Li in a low voice: "Are you really determined to lock her up?"
"She is getting more and more excessive now, so I naturally have to educate her well." Meng Li said indifferently.
Her mother-in-law didn't know what she was whispering, but Meng Li didn't listen at all.
This pheasant is cooked in clean water, but the meat is oily and very fragrant when cooked. Meng Li also put wild vegetable roots in it to cook.
The firewood had been cooking for more than half an hour. The three girls kept lighting the fire. The so-called stove was actually very simple and piled up casually. She lowered her head and added firewood without saying a word. Her two sons were waiting nearby. He kept swallowing.
The aroma of chicken filled the whole room. Meng Li looked at the two sons of the client. They were both in their early ten years, but they were short, thin, dark-faced, skinny, and had not kept up with the typical nutrition.
If their lives don't get better, it will be difficult for them to grow taller.
Finally, they cooked gnocchi with chicken soup. The gnocchi made from current grains are very hard and have no texture, but this is their staple food. Each person has a bowl of gnocchi, a chicken and wild vegetable roots in a large pot. Ren Da carried him out and asked him to sit at the table.
"Where's the second girl?" He glanced at the faces of several children. Everyone was staring directly at the chicken in the basin, full of longing.
Meng Li said: "I locked him up."
"Ah?" Ren Da said, "Why don't you ask her to come out after the meal is ordered? How can this be done? You only have one meal of meat in a few months, and you don't know when the next meal will be. Can you not ask her to eat?"
The mother-in-law glanced at Ren Da from the side, but didn't say anything. Although she scolded her fiercely, she obviously still wanted the second girl to eat the meat.
Meng Li said with a cold face: "She just doesn't know what the world is like. She dances so much at home that she needs to be treated."
"Let's talk after eating the meat." Ren Da sighed.
"Where is the key? Let the third girl release the person. Which room is he locked in?" Ren Da asked again.
Meng Li looked at him with an indifferent expression: "If you expect your second girl to be good, don't worry about her this time. If you don't expect her to be good, then I won't care about her and let her be from now on."
"The child can't do it without his mother's guidance." Ren Da frowned.
"Then don't worry about it." Meng Li said.
Ren Da sighed: "Okay."
My mother-in-law didn't say anything. He just asked the third girl to get a bowl, put a bowl of chicken in it and put it separately, and whispered:
"It's okay if I don't give that damn girl something to eat. I'll pretend to be here for now, and then I'll give her something to eat after she admits her mistake."
Meng Li smiled and didn't stop him. With so many people, it was enough for the two girls to share a full bowl of chicken.
