Meng Li helped Luo's mother take care of the chickens' food, and then it was completely bright. Meng Li fed the chickens, and then the client's second sister came out of the room in a daze.
She was only about ten years old.
Luo's father had already gone out to do work before Meng Li got up.
Meng Li said to Luo Mu:
"Mom, I went to the mountain to collect firewood."
Not only do you need to use firewood yourself, but you also have to pick out the excess and sell it.
Mother Luo's cheeks were like pomegranate skin, very rough. She was wearing a scarf on her head and was busy. She raised her head, her eyes were a little cloudy, and looked at Meng Li:
"Okay, go ahead."
Meng Li took the tools and went out. He either had to carry them back or carry them back. Meng Li chose to carry them back.
This way you can get a little more at a time.
The client's family is actually considered diligent, but even if they are diligent, they can only make ends meet.
This era is not as beautiful as imagined.
Meng Li walked towards the mountain. In the early morning, there was still dew, and Meng Li's shoes were wet.
When they arrived at the mountain, Meng Li took a knife and chopped firewood. He had just come here and had just practiced for a while. He was not very strong yet, so all Meng Li chopped was small branches.
Then the two bundles were tied. At this time, the warm winter sun came out, and because of the work he had done just now, Meng Li felt warmer.
It was very cold before.
Meng Li carried firewood back and put it directly in the woodshed. It was called a woodshed, but in fact it was just a shed.
I washed my hands and went into the kitchen, where my younger brother was playing and my second sister was helping Luo's mother cook.
Meng Li took a look at the pot and saw that there were lumps of food cooked there. Fortunately, he was hungry, but he still had an appetite.
When the second sister saw Meng Li coming back, she even smiled and shouted:
"Sister, you are back."
Meng Li nodded and smiled. The younger brother ran to Meng Li and circled around Meng Li. Meng Li stretched out his hand and picked up the younger brother. He passed his hand under his armpit and threw him up. The younger brother giggled.
Luo Mu said:
"Okay, let's serve the rice."
Meng Li put down his little brother and went to get a bowl of rice. When he was putting it on the table, Luo's father also came back.
Luo's father is dark, thin, and not tall.
We usually talk very little. Each member of the family has a bowl of pimple soup with a little bit of green cabbage leaves in it.
Meng Li finished one bowl and didn't add any more.
After this meal, there was only one meal in the evening.
Two meals a day.
Fortunately, winter is coming soon, and there is not as much farm work as usual. After Meng Li ate, he was pulled by Luo Mu to do farm work again.
Before dinner, Meng Li went up the mountain to collect a pile of firewood.
Today I picked up more than usual, and Luo's mother put more food in Meng Li's bowl.
Then the sky gradually darkened, and now no one would be working outside. After dinner, everyone closed the door and planned to sleep.
Meng Li and his second sister were in the same room. The second sister took off her outer clothes and got into bed, while Meng Li also lay down.
The second sister said in Meng Li's ear:
"Sister, are you about to go out?"
Meng Li knew what the second sister meant. The client's wedding date had been set and he would leave the house on the wedding date.
Well, that's still a problem.
She smiled and said:
"Little girl, go to bed quickly. What are you thinking about?"
The second sister shrank her neck into the quilt and said:
"Sister, you ignore me."
Meng Li touched the little girl's hair. The little girl's hair was very oily!
Meng Li retracted his hand in embarrassment and urged his second sister to go to bed. Even though the second sister was only ten years old, she still had to help with the work.
This family does endless work, but gets very little in return.
She probably felt sleepy because of all the work that consumed her energy. Seeing that Meng Li didn't want to talk to her about this, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Meng Li was lying next to his second sister, but he couldn't feel the warmth in this bed, probably because he wasn't used to it.
The climate here is too humid.
Meng Li thought about it. She had to go to Beijing to complete the auxiliary task, and the temporary client's family would have to live in this place.
The engagement must be broken off first and then the man can be dealt with.
Otherwise, the man will be in trouble. The engagement is still there, and if she breaks off the engagement, the client's family will be stabbed in the back.
And if someone is unlucky, they will definitely be even more unwilling to break off the engagement.
The first task is to break off the engagement, count the days, and meet Dongfang Haoye soon. Before that, these trivial matters must be taken care of.
But to break off the engagement without any reason, it would be difficult for the client’s family to agree to it.
In this place where concepts are not transparent, a woman who breaks off her engagement is like a stain on her life.
Meng Li planned to check it out during dinner tomorrow.
Seeing that the second sister beside him seemed to have fallen asleep, Meng Li sat up and started practicing.
He got up to work at dawn. When Meng Li was collecting firewood, he also collected some medicinal materials. However, the medicines he found were common, but he could also sell them after collecting them.
She also needs some money on hand.
At dinner time in the evening, Meng Li said to Luo’s mother:
"Mom, I want to break off the engagement."
Luo's mother looked at Meng Li in shock:
"break off an engagement?"
Meng Li nodded.
Father Luo frowned:
"You kid, your brain is burned out. You are talking nonsense and you want to break off the engagement."
Meng Li said helplessly:
"Dad, I really want to break off the engagement."
The eyes of the second sister and the younger brother were rolling around on a few people, and they consciously did not speak, knowing that they should not interrupt in such a big matter.
Luo Mu sighed:
"Yingmei, don't you look down on me?"
Meng Li shook his head and said:
"I had a dream last night. I dreamed that I would be very miserable in the past."
Father Luo stared at Meng Li:
"I think you are really out of your mind and talking nonsense."
Meng Li pursed his lips and said:
"Dad, if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it."
Luo's mother glanced at Luo's father. Luo's father said nothing. Luo's mother also had no idea and stopped talking.
The family fell silent.
While sleeping, Luo's mother walked into Meng Li's room and said to Meng Li:
"Yingmei, why are you making such a fuss? You are still young and don't know the consequences of breaking off the engagement. You will regret it if you marry someone else and become your stepmother."
After breaking off the engagement, the conditions for choosing your husband's family will be even lower in the future.
Some families don't even have enough food to eat, and they don't have two rooms. If they marry, they have no place to live, and they don't have food to eat. What's the good thing
Meng Li's voice was sad:
"Mom, I know you don't believe me even if I say it, but this is a dream given to me by an immortal to give me a warning."
Luo Muxin said that the immortal really cared about them, and they should not be living like this.
However, Luo's mother did not dare to say such words, for fear that the immortal would hear her and cause trouble.
How can immortals be discussed by people like them
She just said:
"Okay, sister Ying, go to sleep."
"Don't talk nonsense, lest the immortal blame you."
After speaking, Mother Luo put her palms together, bowed to the air and said:
"Don't blame the immortal, don't blame the immortal. The little girl is talking nonsense and offended."
Meng Li was expressionless.
Because she has the talent of a dream beast, she can see things at night as long as she wants to, but she has to use her talent to see things deliberately. Normally, she doesn't look deliberately, so she is no different from ordinary people. Now, if she looks deliberately, she can see things. Seeing Luo's mother worshiping in fear.
