The reason why Meng Yao threatened Qi Wenye with her mother-in-law Liu Cuihua is because the pungent mother-in-law in the book was very strict with her son.
Her sons were very obedient to their mother.
After she found out about Qi Wenye stealing money, she once beat him half to death.
She doesn't believe it, but he isn't afraid.
Qi Wenye was undoubtedly afraid that his mother would know that he had done bad things. When Meng Yao said these threatening words, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he nervously grabbed Meng Yao's clothes, "How dare you?"
Dare you threaten her?
Meng Yao immediately stretched his neck and shouted loudly: "Mother..."
"sorry!"
Just as Meng Yao called her mother, Qi Wenye blurted out an apology.
Immediately, he stared at Meng Yao nervously, lest she really call out her mother-in-law.
Meng Yao was quite satisfied, but pretended to be incomprehensible and silent, which scared Qi Wenye and stammered: "I, I have already apologized, what else do you want?"
Meng Yao stretched out one hand to open the account, "The stolen money is here, take it out!"
Qi Wenye gritted his teeth and glared at Meng Yao.
Looking at that look, he still refused.
Meng Yao said nothing and immediately called: "Mother..."
"No, I'll give it to you, can't I give it to you?"
Qi Wenye finally became more agile this time. He took out a small stack of money from his pocket, including one cent, five cents, one dime, two cents, five cents, one yuan...
Added up, the amount is quite large.
Meng Yao's eyes turned into stars and he immediately pinched the stack of money.
Qi Wenye didn't want to let go yet, so she grabbed it hard.
As soon as I got it in my hand, I turned my fingers up and down and counted the money I grabbed.
Two dollars and fifty-seven cents.
This money is a huge amount of money in this day and age.
Meng Yao happily took the money into his hand, and when he raised his eyes to meet Qi Wenye, he quickly calmed down his emotions, his chubby face expressionless.
"Seeing that you sincerely apologized and paid back the money you stole, I won't argue with you this time. If you do it again, just wait for your mother to deal with you!"
After saying the cruel words, Meng Yao knelt down and picked up the washed and soiled clothes into a wooden basin, picked them up, and stepped into the threshold without looking back.
Qi Wenye, who was worried that Meng Yao would sue, first breathed a sigh of relief, then looked annoyed when he thought about the money he had not received.
He gritted his teeth fiercely at Meng Yao's fat back, and just when he was about to say harsh words to tell Meng Yao, the damn fat woman, to wait, Meng Yao suddenly turned her head, scaring him so much that he ran away.
Meng Yao looked at the little figure running away in embarrassment and couldn't help but shake her head again.
The book described this little gangster as extremely vicious, threatening, intimidating, extorting, and doing all kinds of evil. He was obviously still a naughty child who knew how to be afraid.
And just judging from his nervous mother-in-law Liu Cuihua, there are some merits.
Meng Yao fetched water from the well, washed the dirty clothes that had fallen to the ground, wrung them out and hung them on a rope between two trees in the yard.
A locust tree and a spring tree were planted in the yard. Each tree has large roots and deep roots. Because of the shade of the tree, it adds a bit of shade to the hot yard.
After Meng Yao finished drying the clothes, he saw the time was around eleven o'clock. He was so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he added water, lit the fire, and started cooking.
Meng Yao had just threatened Qi Wenye with her mother-in-law Liu Cuihua. In fact, she was not at home, but still in the fields. It was busy farming time, and she was away from home almost all day.
Qi Wenye was afraid that he was guilty of being a thief, so he didn't think of it.
When the water boils, Meng Yao pours half a bowl of rice into the pot.
There was not much rice at home, and steamed rice was too luxurious, so Meng Yao only planned to make rice porridge.
Stir slightly with an iron spoon and cover the pot.
Taking advantage of this time, Meng Yao went down to the cellar, picked up a few potatoes, washed them, cut them into shreds, soaked them in a basin, and prepared to fry the shredded potatoes.
There was a small bunch of green onions surrounding the vegetable garden in the courtyard, which Liu Cuihua planned to plant. Meng Yao pulled one out and used it for seasoning.
The chili peppers hanging on the wall were dry and red in the sun. Meng Yao knew that these small red chili peppers were extremely spicy, so he only took one.
There was a sound of "prick", and as soon as the food was taken out of the pot, an alluring aroma came out.
Qi Wenye, who sneaked home in a fragrant manner, stuck his head out at the door of the kitchen and sniffed fiercely.
