She remained silent, pretending not to notice, and Zhang Qi ignored her more and more, even squinting in front of her.
It doesn't matter.
After eating noodles, everyone found a place to stay together. This place was more prosperous than the previous county town. The prices of inns were different. They found an inn that seemed to be the cheapest.
Probably because Zhang Qi didn't hide his secrets and took out all the money that was not stolen by the bandits, they chose to arrange the money with Zhang Qi.
Zhang Qi also had a choice of accommodation conditions.
Zhang Qi still opened two rooms, took the keys, and was going to live in the room. Seeing Meng Li still in front of the counter, Zhang Qi said:
"What are you doing?"
Meng Li said:
"Get a room for yourself, I said it won't cost you money."
Guo Liujun sneered and said softly:
"ability."
Meng Li glanced at Zhang Qi and said:
"Are you my husband or someone else's husband?"
"People who don't know think you are Guo Liujun's husband, and we are an orphan and a widowed mother."
"No matter how others push me, you act like you don't hear me and instead help others."
Guo Liujun blushed:
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Meng Li smiled, and Zhang Qi said angrily:
"Be careful what you say. Don't be indiscriminate. Don't insult the reputation of this girl."
"You are unreasonable, who do you expect to help you?"
Guo Liujun on the side felt comfortable.
Meng Li said "oh" and took out the money to buy a room. Zhang Qi looked at Meng Li in surprise:
"Where did you get the money?"
Meng Li said:
"I replaced it with a gold bracelet, sewn into the clothes like yours."
Zhang Qi:…
Guo Liujun didn't expect that Meng Li was really rich, so he couldn't help but said:
"No wonder it seems that the matter has nothing to do with me. It turns out that I hid the money."
She glanced at Zhang Qi sympathetically, saying that it was really unlucky to meet such a wife.
A narrow-minded, selfish woman.
Poor men, this is the harm of arranged marriages. Not only women suffer, but men are also harmed.
Zhang Qi must have not understood her as a person before, so he got married in a daze.
No wonder Zhang Qi preferred to sleep separately from her on the first night. Marriage without love is so painful.
If you have such a marriage, you should let it go as soon as possible.
Zhang Qi was also extremely unhappy and said:
"You didn't even tell me."
Meng Li said:
"Why tell you."
Zhang Qi choked and sneered:
"If you want to be angry with me, I hope you can persist until the end."
No wonder his attitude was so indifferent along the way, and he actually held back. It was so disappointing to him.
Bao Xingfa and Ji Hongyi remained silent. It was hard to say anything about other people's family matters.
Meng Li took the key and was about to go upstairs. Zhang Qi thought for a moment, then pulled Meng Li and said:
"Check out the house and save some money. You and Liu Jun will share a room."
"By the way, give me the money and I will arrange it."
Don't worry about putting money on her, and now is the time when you need money.
The little you can save counts.
Meng Li glanced at Zhang Qi coldly and said:
"This gold bracelet was given to me by my mother-in-law when I got married. Why did I give it to you in exchange for money?"
"Of course, if you want Guo Liujun to stay in my room for one night, then you can give me half of the room price, and I will do it."
Do you understand the AA system
Zhang Qi stared at Meng Li and couldn't say a word for a long time. Meng Li shook off Zhang Qi's hand.
He took the child upstairs first.
A few people were left standing there.
Meng Li smiled slightly. There was money from Zhang Qi's house sale in the bag, which could not only support her to go to Haicheng, but also support her to rent a house in Haicheng and make a living.
Although the house is in a small place, it is still worth a lot of money.
The gold bracelet was still on him and had not been pawned. Meng Li did not want to pawn the client's belongings unless he had to.
Guo Liujun has a headache. He has no money now, but he has to occupy a room as a girl, while three people only have one room.
She felt uneasy, but she was not willing to put down her dignity and stay in that woman's room.
Zhang Qi also saw Guo Liujun's dilemma and said:
"Don't worry about it, you can just live in peace."
Guo Liujun felt a hint of sweetness in her heart. It was nice that someone understood her.
When Zhang Qi went to bed at night, there was uncontrollable sadness in his brows.
Everyone gave him money to take care of, and he seemed to take on the responsibility of captain, and he must be more thoughtful than others.
The next day everyone went to find the man to ask for money, but they couldn't find him all morning. They asked about the ferry ticket to Haicheng, which was expensive.
When the man arrived in the afternoon, they gathered around him and asked for money, but when they didn't get the money, they were deceived by the man into moving the goods again.
Promise to pay them today.
Of course I have to do some work, at least to get a ferry ticket to Haicheng.
I searched around this morning and found that there is no other job where I can get paid so quickly.
They can only do it while holding their breath.
Meng Li sat on the dock and practiced silently. Guo Liujun felt bored and took some money from Zhang Qi to buy a book.
Seeing Meng Li sitting motionless, Guo Liujun deliberately raised the book in his hand and said:
"Do you know the words?"
Meng Li raised his eyes and glanced at Guo Liujun, and said lightly:
"Don't you feel comfortable if you don't show off your presence and sense of superiority in front of me all day?"
Guo Liujun smiled and said:
"You're too sensitive, I'm just asking."
Meng Li didn't answer, Guo Liujun said:
"If you don't know the words, forget it. If you know the words, and you would rather sit here than read a book to grow yourself, I think you have wasted your time."
Meng Li was a little annoyed and said:
"Do you believe I will beat you?"
Guo Liujun snorted:
"brutal."
Meng Li said:
"You think it's barbaric to do it, but do you have the ability to scold the invaders away with just your mouth?"
Guo Liujun pouted:
"What nonsense."
Meng Li didn't say anything. They sat until dark before they finished their work. This time they still didn't get yesterday's ten copper coins, but the man paid off today's money.
After excluding the money for tonight's accommodation, there was still some money left on hand. The sorrow in Zhang Qi's brows melted away a little, and he felt that there was hope.
In the next few days, they came to the dock to unload the goods. On the middle day, there was no shortage of manpower, so they could only sit idle.
Wait.
After staying here for more than half a month, I finally saved enough money to buy four ferry tickets to Haicheng.
Zhang Qi happened to only buy four of them, not Meng Li's.
Meng Li practiced peacefully for more than half a month and had more spiritual power in his body. He bought himself a ticket to Haicheng and boarded the ship to Haicheng.
Zhang Qi was angry with Meng Li for hiding money, and had not spoken to Meng Li much for more than half a month.
He doesn't care about his children either.
Just look at the child looking around with his eyes open, as if he has forgotten that the child also needs to eat.
After getting on the boat, Guo Liujun was obviously very happy. As long as the boat reached its destination, she could go home.
