Chapter 274: a huge opportunity
Chapter 274 A Great Opportunity
Wu Ji refused to give instant noodles, Meng Ge mocked Wu Hao: "We can't even give Wei Wei a bowl of noodles, and he keeps saying that he will give Wei Wei a good life."
Meng lowered his eyes slightly, and said with empathy: "It's okay, Brother Hao, let's go get the dry food. Anyway, I've eaten all the way, and I'm used to it."
Meng Ge sang black face, Meng Wei sang white face, Wu Hao looked at the fragrant instant noodles in the pot in front of him, and felt even more guilty.
He couldn't help but said to Wu Ji again: "Dad, just give me a few bowls of instant noodles!"
Wu Ji finally raised his head, "A bowl of eight pennies, I'll give you the money."
Wu Hao didn't have a penny on him, Wu Ji's words undoubtedly gave him a great humiliation, and he clenched his fists fiercely.
He didn't understand, Meng Weiwei was such a good girl, what's wrong with him marrying her, and his father had to make it so difficult for him.
Wu Ji didn't think he was cruel enough, so he took out a piece of inscription from his arms and made up the knife word by word: "You repay the money you borrowed, and the money that Young Master Sheng lent me, you can't even get a copper plate from me. , I have my handprint pressed, and I have to send the IOU to others, lest you default on it in the future."
Wu Hao suddenly widened his eyes and said incredulously, "Father!!"
His eyes were full of anger. He didn't know why Wu Ji wanted to put him to death and questioned his character.
Meng Weiwei didn't expect Wu Ji to be so ruthless in order to get rid of them.
She lowered her eyes coldly, if she couldn't even eat a bowl of instant noodles, then she is now a freelancer, and what to do with Wu Hao's grievances.
Meng Weiwei pretended to be sad and said, "Since Uncle Wu doesn't want to see me, let's forget it!"
Wu Hao said in a panic: "Weiwei, don't be angry! My father is joking with us!"
His anxious eyes frequently shuttled between Meng Weiwei and Wu Ji, praying that Wu Ji could say something soothing to keep Meng Weiwei.
Wu Ji snorted coldly, "Forget it, remember to pay back the money. Sixty taels of silver is the salary of this old man for the past three months, which is not a small sum."
Meng Wei's face stiffened, that's why she didn't like Wu Hao.
He is the same as his father, except for this face, there is a sour smell all over his body.
Meng Ge pointed at Wu Hao angrily: "We didn't force you to pay back the money! Don't even think about it! Let Wei Wei marry you, don't even think about it!"
"It's not just a bowl of noodles, we are not rare!"
"Go! Let's go get the rations!"
Meng Ge didn't want to get involved with Wu Hao, which affected Meng Weiwei's reputation.
Wu Hao quickly stopped Meng Weiwei, "Weiwei, wait, I can buy you instant noodles right away! Really!"
Meng Weiwei didn't want to get a reputation for being ungrateful, so he pretended to be pitiful: "Uncle, he" and glanced at Wu Ji timidly, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.
Wu Hao was also fed up with his father, making him faceless in front of Meng Weiwei's family.
Wu Hao said to Meng Weiwei, "Don't worry, you don't need to beg him!"
Wu Mengyao frowned, "Brother, how can you talk to Dad like this!"
Wu Hao turned his face and ignored him, as if the whole world owed him, and ran to look through the daily necessities in his rucksack.
Wu Ji saw that he wanted to exchange the contents of his rucksack for money, and even the delicious instant noodles lost his appetite, so he sighed, "Unfortunate family! Unfortunate family!"
How could he give birth to such a stupid son? If Meng Weiwei was sincere, he knew that their situation was difficult, and he still demanded blindly. Even if Wu Hao reluctantly satisfied them now, what happened in the future!
To put it bluntly, Wu Hao and Meng Weiwei are people from two different worlds.
The most important thing is that Wu Hao does not have the ability to satisfy Meng Weiwei.
Wu Hao found a thick cotton-padded jacket from his rucksack. It was brand new, and it was worth at least half a tael of silver.
Wu Hao just smiled and was about to find someone to exchange his cotton-padded clothes for money, but Meng Ge took a fancy to this cotton-padded jacket, "Give me the clothes, I'm freezing to death, why did you take them out!"
Meng Ge took the cotton coat and put it on immediately.
Wu Hao's smile froze, and he couldn't tell that this was the cotton-padded coat he wanted to change into.
Nothing else in the rucksack is worth anything.
Wu Hao only had the cotton coat on his body, and the pair of cloth boots on his feet seemed to be worth some money.
He thought about it, took out the cloth shoes that had a hole in it from the back basket, changed the cloth boots, and ran out quickly, for fear of meeting Meng Weiwei's eyes.
He ran so fast that he almost fell, Meng Weiwei didn't care about a word, but made up his mind in his heart that he must get rid of the useless Wu Hao as soon as possible.
The boots are of very good quality. Because they have been worn, Wu Hao finally found a buyer, but he only exchanged one hundred coins for them.
He went back with the copper plate and wanted to buy instant noodles for Mumby Wei, when he saw Meng Weiwei's whole family standing in front of a fire, staring at the bacon and sticky rice in the woman's pot.
Meng Weiwei saw Wu Hao coming back, her eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Brother Hao, Mrs. Tao said she could sell us some bacon and rice."
Wu Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he pretended to be generous and asked, "How much?"
Tao Yinzhen knew that Meng Weiwei was the county lord and her mother was the county lord, so she enjoyed Meng Weiwei's expression of lowering her eyebrows and talking to her, and said with a smile, "I originally wanted to make more for dinner and eat together tomorrow, If you want to eat, then give ten cents a bowl."
Wu Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was only two cents more than instant noodles, and there was meat in the rice, which looked much better than instant noodles.
Meng Weiwei can eat well, he is also very happy.
Meng Ge just took the bowl and cleaned it up like a tornado.
He looked at Tao Yinzhen again, arrogantly, "Give me another bowl of Malay in this county!"
Wu Hao's face stiffened, and he was very worried that the remaining copper plates would not be enough for the old man to fill his stomach.
Fortunately, after Tao Yinzhen gave Meng Ge another bowl of glutinous rice, he glanced in the direction of the kitten and said, "I can't give it to you any more, I have to keep some for my son."
Wu Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Weiwei was full, glanced at the large carriage of Bai Wutong, pretended to be curious, and asked, intentionally or unintentionally, "The carriage in front has been following the Governor-General, do they have anything to do with the Governor-General?"
Tao Yinzhen suddenly lowered his eyes and sneered, "It has nothing to do with it, it's just a group of lucky refugees!"
As soon as these words came out, Meng Weiwei's eyes widened, "You said they were refugees? How could it be possible?" How could the first daughter of the Bai family, the elder sister of the eldest prince's side concubine, be refugees.
Meng Weiwei cried out in surprise, which surprised Tao Yinzhen for a moment, and then quickly explained sneeringly, "A year ago, I watched them come to Yuling Mountain in tatters and settle down with my own eyes. When a gold mine appeared in Yuling Mountain, they took advantage of it and got involved."
Meng Weiwei was completely stunned, how could Bai Wutong be a refugee? But what Tao Yinzhen said was not false.
If Bai Wutong eloped with that man, it was an affair without a match, then it wasn't a proper wife at all, at most it was an outsider.
Her heart was beating fast, as if suddenly, she had caught a huge opportunity.
