Wu Ji refused to give him instant noodles. Meng Ge mocked Wu Hao, “You can’t even give our Weiwei a bowl of noodles and you are saying that you would give her a good life.”
Meng Weiwei lowered her eyes and said considerately, “It’s fine, Brother Hao.
Let’s go get our rations. I’ve eaten that all along anyway. I’m used to it.”
Meng Ge played the bad cop, and Meng Weiwei played the nice one. 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 say to Wu Ji again, “Father, just give me a few bowls of instant noodles! ”
Wu Ji finally looked up. “Eight copper coins for a bowl. If you pay me, I’ll give it to you.”
Wu Hao did not have a single cent on him. Wu Ji’s words undoubtedly humiliated him greatly. He clenched his fists tightly.
He did not understand why his father had to make things difficult him when he wanted to marry such a good girl like Meng Weiwei.
Wu Ji still felt that he was not ruthless enough. He took out a quill from his pocket and added, word by word, “You have to return the money you borrowed. Don’t even think about getting a copper coin from me. If you press your thumbprint, I’ll have to give the IOU to them to prevent you from reneging on your debt in the future. ‘
Wu Hao’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Father!!!”
His eyes were filled with anger. He did not know why Wu Ji wanted to force him to a corner and even questioned his character.
Meng Weiwei did not expect Wu Ji to be so ruthless in order to shake them off.
She lowered her eyes coldly. If she could not even eat a bowl of instant noodles, then since she was already free, why should she suffer with Wu Hao?
Meng Weiwei pretended to be sad and said, “Since Uncle Wu doesn’t like me, let’s forget it! ”
Wu Hao said in panic, “Weiwei, don’t be angry! My father was joking with us!”
His anxious eyes darted between Meng Weiwei and Wu Ji, begging Wu Ji to say something to ease the situation and make Meng Weiwei stay.
Wu Ji snorted. “1 can forget about it. But remember to return the silver. 60 taels of silver was my salary for three months in the past. It’s not a small sum.”
Meng Weiwei’s expression froze. This was why she did not like Wu Hao.
Like his father, other than his face, he smelled of poverty.
Meng Ge pointed at Wu Hao in exasperation. “We didn’t force you to do this. If you want us to return the money, don’t even think about it! Also don’t even think about letting Weiwei marry you! ‘ “It’s just a bowl of noodles. We don’t care!”
“Let’s go get our rations!’
Meng Ge did not want to be have any connections to Wu Hao and affect Meng Weiwei’s reputation.
Wu Hao hurriedly stopped Meng Weiwei. ‘Weiwei, wait a moment. I’ll buy you instant noodles immediately! Really!”
Meng Weiwei did not want to be known as an ungrateful person. She pretended to be pitiful and said, “But Uncle...” She glanced at Wu Ji timidly, as if she wanted to say something but did not dare to.
Wu Hao had enough of his father, making him lose face in front of Meng Weiwei’s family.
Wu Hao said to Meng Weiwei, “Don’t worry, there’s no need to beg him!”
Wu Mengyao frowned. “Brother, how can you speak to Father like that!”
Wu Hao ignored her with a straight face, as if the entire world owed him. He ran to rummage through the daily necessities in his backpack.
Wu Ji could tell that he wanted to exchange the things in his backpack for silver. No matter how delicious the instant noodles were, he lost his appetite and sighed. “Our family is unlucky! Our family is so unlucky!”
How did he give birth to such a stupid son? If Meng Weiwei was sincere, she would not have insisted her way when she clearly knew that their situation was difficult. Even if Wu Hao satisfied them now, what about the future!
To put it bluntly, Wu Hao and Meng Weiwei were from two different worlds.
Most importantly, Wu Hao did not have the ability to satisfy Meng Weiwei.
Wu Hao found a thick cotton shirt in his backpack. It was brand new and was worth at least half a tael of silver.
Wu Hao smiled and was about to exchange the cotton clothes for silver when Meng Ge took a fancy to it. “Give me the clothes. I’m about to freeze to death.
Why did you only take them out now!”
Meng Ge took the cotton clothes and immediately put them on.
Wu Hao’s smile froze. He could not say that this was the cotton shirt he wanted to exchange for silver.
Nothing else in the backpack was worth anything.
Wu Hao was only left with his cotton clothes. The cloth boots on his feet looked like it was worth some money.
He thought for a moment, then took out the cloth shoes that had a hole in them from the basket on his back. He changed out of his cloth boots and ran out quickly, afraid that he would meet Meng Weiwei’s gaze.
He ran too quickly and almost fell. Meng Weiwei did not even say anything to show her concern. Instead, she made up her mind to shake off the useless Wu Hao as soon as possible.
Because he had already worn the high-quality boots, when Wu Hao finally found a buyer, he could only exchange them for 100 copper coins.
He took the copper coins back and wanted to buy instant noodles for Meng Weiwei. He saw Meng Weiwei’s entire family standing in front of a fire, staring at the roasted meat and glutinous rice in the woman’s pot.
When Meng Weiwei saw Wu Hao return, her eyes lit up and she hurriedly said,
“Brother Hao, Lady Tao said that she can sell us some meat and rice.”
Wu Hao’s heart skipped a beat. He pretended to be generous and asked, “How much?”
After Tao Yinzhen found out that Meng Weiwei was the county mistress and her mother was the princess, she enjoyed Meng Weiwei talking to her obediently. She smiled and said, “I originally wanted to make more for dinner and tomorrow. If you want to eat, give me ten copper coins for a bowl.”
Wu Hao immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was only two copper coins more than instant noodles. Moreover, there was meat in the rice. It looked much better than the instant noodles.
He was also very happy that Meng Weiwei could eat well.
Meng Ge had just taken a bowl and finished it like a tornado.
He looked at Tao Yinzhen again and said generously, ‘Give me another bowl!”
Wu Hao’s expression stiffened. He was very worried that the remaining copper coins would not be enough for his father-in-law to fill his stomach.
Fortunately, after Tao Yinzhen scooped another bowl of glutinous rice for Meng Ge, she glanced in the direction of Little Cat and said, “I can’t give it to you guys anymore. I still have to leave some for my son.”
Wu Hao heaved a sigh of relief.
After Meng Weiwei had eaten her fill, she glanced at Bai Wutong’s wide carriage and pretended to be curious. ‘The carriage in front has been following the Governor closely. Are they related to him?”
Tao Yinzhen’s eyes darkened and she sneered. “They do not have any relations. They’re just a group of lucky refugees!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Meng Weiwei’s eyes widened. “You’re saying they’re refugees? How is that possible?” How could the daughter of Bai family, the sister of the eldest prince’s secondary consort be a refugee?
Meng Weiwei’s surprised voice shocked Tao Yinzhen for a moment, but she quickly explained coldly, “A year ago, I saw them settle down at the Jade
Spiritual Mountain in tatters. The Governor had a good relationship with them and happened to encounter a gold mine on the Jade Spiritual Mountain, so they took advantage of the situation.”
Meng Weiwei was completely stunned. How could Bai Wutong be a refugee? But Tao Yinzhen’s words did not sound fake.
If Bai Wutong had eloped with that man, she would not be considered the main wife at all. At most, she would be considered a mistress.
Her heart was pounding, as if she had suddenly grasped a huge opportunity..
