Rebirth: I Want to Collect Rent

The two of them arrived at the KFC store on the square. After eating a burger, Hao Liang said,

"Mengmeng, you want to eat KFC so much, just go out and eat secretly. I didn't give you money last time. Eating KFC is definitely enough."

"Brother-in-law, don't mention the money. I want to cry when you mention it, you know." Meng Wendi bit into a piece of chicken wing and said.

"What's wrong? Don't throw it away. Just throw it away."

"If I lost it myself and gave up, I wouldn't feel so uncomfortable." Meng Mengdi said angrily.

"What about your money? It's not lost. Where did it go? It couldn't be that it was lent to others and they didn't return it to you."

"I didn't lend it to others. It's almost the New Year when I lent it to others. I came to collect the debt every day. My mother found out about the money you gave me last time and confiscated it directly," Meng Mengdi said.

"They've all been taken away. I haven't left you a penny."

"Yes, she kept it, but she only left me 100 yuan. My mother said she would keep the rest for me. She also said that a child couldn't take that much money. I was too young. This is not what I wanted.

Isn't it the same as the New Year's money when I was a kid? Once it goes away, it never comes back." Meng Mengdi said very depressed.

Hao Liang looked at Meng Mengdi who was biting the chicken wings as if she was venting her depression, and said.

"When I take you back later, I'll give you a little more. Don't let your mother find out this time. There are still many days before you can come to Yue City, you know."

When Meng Mengdi heard that Hao Liang gave her money again, a smile appeared on her face and she said happily to Hao Liang.

"I understand, brother-in-law. I will never let you see me again this time. It's better for you, brother-in-law."

This time Hao Guangming had more food. He was so hungry just now that he thought he could eat it all.

But I don’t know why. I’ve been hungry for too long. After eating a burger, I felt like I couldn’t eat anymore.

Unable to eat any more, Hao Liang didn't hold on and just watched Meng Mengdi eating KFC.

"Brother-in-law, don't watch me eat. There's still a lot of it. Eat it quickly."

"I can't eat anymore, you can eat it." Hao Liang replied.

"You really treat me like a pig. How can I eat so much? Brother-in-law, don't waste it. Eat it quickly." Meng Mengdi urged.

"If you can't finish eating, pack it up and go back." Hao Liang said while drinking Coke.

After Meng Mengdi ate a few pieces of chicken wings, she felt that she was almost done, so she went to the bar to get a packed bag and took back the remaining KFC.

Hao Liang sent Meng Mengdi to the downstairs of her house, gave Meng Mengdi another thousand yuan, and drove back to Yueshi.

Originally, Hao Liang was thinking that tomorrow would be the 29th day of the New Year, so he would just go home and celebrate the New Year today, as tomorrow would be New Year's Eve.

But thinking of his parents' attitude, Hao Liang thought that he might as well buy some gifts at noon tomorrow and go directly to his uncle's house to see them, and then come back directly to celebrate the New Year alone.

Meng Mengdi carried the packed KFC to the door of the room, hid the money Hao Liang gave her, and then opened the door and went in.

She saw her parents and sister sitting in the living room, as if waiting for her to come back. Meng Mengdi was shocked and said to her parents, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"Little girl, what is that in your hand?"

"This is the KFC I packed back. Parents, you can eat it. This is delicious. I'm going back to my room to read a book first." Meng Mengdi put down the KFC and was about to go to her room.

"Wait a minute, where did you get the money? You even bought KFC."

"Didn't you take all my money? How can I have any money?"

"If you don't have money, whoever bought you KFC will run out as soon as your sister comes back."

"My brother-in-law bought it. I saw that my sister was so hungry when she got home, and my brother-in-law was also hungry after driving for such a long time, so I took four pieces of bread and went down to give them to him."

"Then why don't you still pester him to buy KFC?" Meng Wendi said angrily.

"No, brother-in-law wants to eat by himself, not me. Sister, you are wronging me. Mom, you eat, this is really delicious, I went to the room to review."

"What are you reviewing? You just sold the textbooks from last semester as scrap paper. What are you reviewing?"

Meng Wendi's mother felt a little resentful. After finishing speaking, Meng Wendi's mother sighed, then patted the seat next to her and said again.

"Little girl, come and sit down. Let's talk about something. You can make up your own mind."

"Mom, you don't want to trick me into coming over and beat me again. I'm already so old, so don't beat me anymore."

"Why are you hitting me? Come sit down and let us discuss the matter as a family."

Meng Mengdi touched the money in her pocket, slowly walked to a place deliberately far away from her mother, sat down, and asked.

"Mom, what's the matter? It's not a big deal. You can make the decision for me. I'll go back to the room first. Anyway, your opinion will prevail in the end." Meng Mengdi said after sitting down.

Meng Wendi's mother, after hearing Meng Mengdi's words, glared at her angrily and continued.

"Didn't your sister and you draw lots last time to decide who of you two would stay and who would get married? Your sister told Hao Liang. Hao Liang refused to come."

"If my brother-in-law doesn't want to come, just let my sister marry him. Mom, let me tell you, this son-in-law is great. Although he is a bit ugly, he is okay, and he is a bit paler now."

"Your sister is married, so you stay. Hao Liang told your sister that he will buy you an apartment and a car in the future," Meng Wendi's mother said.

"I don't want it, and I don't want to stay at home." Meng Mengdi quickly shook her head and refused.

"When your sister gets married, if you don't keep the family, who will?" Meng Wendi's mother said a little angrily.

"Mom, it's not like we two will ignore you from now on. My brother-in-law has more money and wants my sister to have two children in the future, one with my sister's surname. This brother-in-law will definitely agree. I will talk to my brother-in-law."

When Meng Wendi's mother saw Meng Mengdi's direct refusal, she did not use force to suppress her as usual, but instead gave her earnest advice.

"Mengmeng, Hao Liang runs a factory now, and we really can't let him come to the door. You are still young. When your brother-in-law buys you a house and a car in the future, you won't suffer the consequences of finding a son-in-law who comes to you."

"I don't want to stay at home anyway." Meng Mengdi refused firmly.

"Little girl, have you been treated badly by your family? Growing up, whatever your sister has, you also have. Why do you dislike your family so much?"

"Mom, it's easy to talk about other things, but if you want me to stay at home, I will definitely quit." Meng Mengdi still refused.

At this time, Meng Wendi's mother looked at Meng Wendi and wanted her to talk to Meng Mengdi herself. Meng Wendi didn't know how to open her mouth.

Her sister has been a homeless person since she was a child, and she was the one who got the lottery last time. When Meng Wendi was in trouble, Meng Wendi's father spoke.

"Forget it, since they are daughters, this is their fate. If neither of them wants to stay at home, then they both get married. Don't say anything."

Meng Wendi's mother just sighed this time and was not as tough as before, and she also said.

"Forget it, then when you two get married, come back more often. Since you don't want to stay at home, don't take your brother-in-law's house and car, otherwise they will be gossiped about."

"I don't want the house, but if my brother-in-law buys me a car, I want it. I don't care about that." After Meng Mengdi said this, she ran back to the room holding the money pocket.

"Girl, go and see your sister. Look at her appearance. Hao Liang gave her money again. His pockets are so tight. Ask her to hand over the money."

"Mom, forget it, let my sister put some money on her, and forget about what Hao Liang gave her." Meng Wendi said.

"This girl is too troublesome. You two have bought so many things for your sister before you are married."

"It's okay. Hao Liang said that my sister is his sister. It's normal to spend some money on her."

"I'm afraid that if something bad happens to you, our family won't be able to pay back the debt."

After Meng Wendi's mother finished speaking, she sighed again and continued, "Oh! I thought you would find someone ordinary, even stupid, to come to my house in the future, but I didn't expect you would find someone capable. Forget it, from now on

You please give Hao Liang a little mercy. We, as parents, can't control you when you are older."

"Mom, Hao Liang and I will get along well. You two will live in our house from now on. This is what Hao Liang said."

"If I come to live in your house and your parents-in-law don't roll their eyes every day, I'll go see how much money Hao Liang gives your sister. If it's more, just leave her a hundred dollars."

After saying that, Meng Wendi's mother went to the two sisters' room, but found that the door was locked.
