Rebirth: I Want to Collect Rent

While the residents in the community were discussing, Meng Mengdi also arrived at the door of her house, patted the door and shouted, "Mom, open the door! I'm back."

Meng Mengdi's mother heard Meng Mengdi's voice outside the door, stood up from the sofa, opened the door, looked at Meng Mengdi who came in, and asked with some surprise.

"Little girl, why are you back? You've only been out for two weeks."

"Mom, if I don't come back, you say I'm homeless. When I come back, you dislike me for coming back. It's true. Before my sister went to study abroad, she called me and asked me to come back to see you more. I

Where is dad?"

"After dinner, we went out for a walk. You really didn't call anyone when you wanted to come back. Have you eaten yet?"

"No, just bring me something to eat if you have anything edible at home."

"It's such a hot day. Your dad and I are the only two people at home. Let's get some food. Let's go. Mom will take you out to eat today."

Meng Mengdi's mother said as she went to the room, took a bag and put it on her shoulder. She took Meng Mengdi with her and went to a restaurant outside for dinner.

When they arrived at the gate of the community, Meng Mengdi's mother asked in a low voice, "Mengmeng, are you not going to have enough money when you come back this time?"

"No, I have enough money. I made a lot during the Chinese New Year, which is enough." Meng Mengdi replied.

Meng Mengdi's mother sighed when she heard Meng Mengdi's answer. She found that the little daughter who used to make her angry every day became sensible. She also felt that she was old.

After hearing that Meng Mengdi still had money, Meng Mengdi's mother said again, "Little girl, when you are older, your parents can't control you anymore, but you have to remember that you have to be a decent person and don't go astray. You have enough money."

That’s it. You’ve been strong since you were a child, and you want what others have, so don’t compare with others in the future.”

"Mom, that was before, but I am not now."

"Yes, yes, now I am older and more sensible." Meng Mengdi's mother said with a smile.

After the mother and daughter had eaten, they walked towards home. Meng Mengdi bought an ice cream for her mother from a newsstand on the roadside and ate one herself.

"You, you said you were sensible when you came here, but you are still greedy. You just bought ice cream after dinner, and you are not afraid of diarrhea. It is only May now."

"It's okay. My stomach and intestines are fine. It's okay to eat anything."

"If you eat bad, something will happen. When you get home later, you can check online to see if your sister has sent you a message."

"Oh, she is abroad now, how could she send me a message?"

"Little girl, why don't you kiss your sister now? You two used to quarrel and quarrel, but it would be fine after one night. Now every time you come back, you don't quarrel or quarrel. This is also true.

Less."

"Mom, haven't we grown up? What's there to argue about? She has her friends, and I have mine. This will naturally stop talking."

The two mother and daughter arrived home while talking. Meng Mengdi's father had also returned home. When he saw Meng Meng and her mother coming in, Meng Mengdi's father was surprised and said.

"Mengmeng, when did you come back?"

"We had a good meal and you came back when you went for a walk. I just took her out to eat. You can continue watching TV." Meng Mengdi's mother said this and went into their room.

"Dad, where did you go just now? You were nowhere to be seen when I got home, and I didn't see you in the community." He sat on the sofa and asked.

"I went outside and was not in the community. If you don't have any money to spend when you come back, go back and get it from your mother the day after tomorrow. Your mother has money." Meng Mengdi's father looked at the TV and whispered back to Meng Mengdi.

"I came back just to get money. You are too underestimated. I still have money from my winter vacation job."

Meng Mengdi replied and moved to her father's side, looked at her parents' room, and whispered to her father.

"Dad, let me ask you something. I have a friend who suddenly got pregnant and wants to take her boyfriend back. But my friend's parents have misunderstandings about her boyfriend. What do you think we should do?"

"What should I do? Please stop playing with that friend of yours."

"Dad, let's put it this way, what would you do if it were my friend's father instead?"

"I broke that man's legs. Mengmeng, are you looking for a boyfriend?" Meng Mengdi's father looked at Meng Mengdi and asked.

"What boyfriend?" Meng Mengdi's mother came out and asked.

"I don't have any boyfriend, Mom, I'm going to go back to bed first. There are too many zakats these days. I haven't even slept well." Meng Mengdi stood up and said.

"Sit down and explain everything clearly to me first," Meng Mengdi's mother said, pointing to the sofa.

After Meng Mengdi sat down again, Meng Mengdi's mother also sat down and asked Meng Mengdi's father, "What did she tell you just now? Did she find a boyfriend?"

"No, one of her friends has a boyfriend and is pregnant, so she asked me what would happen if I was her friend's father."

"Then how did you tell her?" Meng Mengdi's mother looked at Meng Mengdi's father with an unkind expression and asked.

"I said break that man's legs."

"Yes, not only the legs were broken, but the hands were also broken. Meng Mengdi, let me tell you, if you dare to be like your friends in the future, I will also break your legs. Do you understand?"

"I know, I just asked. How could I do this? Mom, now that the matter is clear, I'm going back to the room." Meng Mengdi ran back to the room with a guilty conscience.

When Meng Mengdi's mother saw that Meng Mengdi was about to go in, she shouted to her.

"Go into your room and check the computer to see if your sister has sent a message. Then go to bed early and follow me to your grandma's house tomorrow."

"Oh!" Meng Mengdi replied, then went back to her room with a guilty conscience, and sent a text message to Hao Liang.

On Sunday afternoon, after having lunch, Meng Mengdi said to her parents, "Mom, I'm back to school."

"You're going back early. Just wait a moment and I'll get you some money. Don't be reluctant to spend it, and don't do your part-time job on Sunday. The two of us can still support you."

Meng Mengdi was about to refuse, but she remembered what Hao Liang said, just take what her parents gave her and buy them something later.

Thinking of this, Meng Mengdi stopped. When her mother gave her two thousand yuan, Meng Mengdi said thank you and ran downstairs.

After returning to Yue City, more than a month had passed and Meng Mengdi was about to go on summer vacation. At night, Meng Mengdi was lying on the bed and said to Hao Liang.

"Hao Liang, I'm on vacation next week. Why can't I find a reason not to go home? Last time I went back, my mother told me not to look for a job during this vacation."

"Then you go back and stay for two months."

"I still have to go to the Shenzhen and Shanghai markets to look at my house. Nowadays, I have a lot less money for those houses in the outskirts of the city that are collecting rent."

"Then we will go back and stay for a few days, and then we will go to a classmate's house to play." Hao Liang replied, hugging Meng Mengdi.

"I don't know if my sister has come back, and my mother didn't call me either."

"Didn't you say you were going away for a month last time? You must be back. You won't watch TV anymore. Go and turn off the TV and go to sleep." Hao Liang let go of Meng Mengdi and said.

"Hao Liang, you are getting more and more lazy. Now I turn off the TV every time."

Meng Mengdi got up and unplugged the plug, returned to bed, and said to Hao Liang, "Start exercising. I won't have a break in class tomorrow."

When Hao Liang heard this, he hugged Meng Mengdi and kissed her.

The next morning, while she was still sleeping, Meng Mengdi's phone rang. She glanced at it and it was Meng Mengdi's mother calling. Hao Liang shook Meng Mengdi awake and said.

"Your mother is calling. She must be asking you when you will be back. Please answer the call."

When Meng Mengdi heard that it was her mother, she took the phone and muttered.

"My mother called. Why is she calling so early? Didn't she always call me at night before?"

"Mom, why did you call me so early? I'll be back on vacation next week." Meng Mengdi said after picking up the phone.

"Mengmeng, don't come back for the holidays. Your dad and I are going away for a while. We will charge your tuition and living expenses."

"Mom, where are you and dad going?"

"Your dad was introduced by someone to be responsible for a project in another place, so I will go with him. You will be away for a while, so you can take care of yourself at school. If you are short of money, call your mom. Do you know?"

"Okay, then I'm going to find a part-time job during the holiday. I won't go back. Mom, I'm hanging up. I'll sleep a little longer. Goodbye." After saying that, Meng Mengdi hung up the phone. She put the phone aside and lay down.
