Chapter 385 Dad made a mistake, but it wasn't to the point of being unforgivable!
"Things are different now, completely different. We're like stray dogs now, what decent girl would want to marry into a family like this?"
Meng Peiyu's voice was cool: "You don't need to worry about that. I will take care of getting Xiaohao his sweetheart here!"
"Peiyu, you can't do anything illegal or disorderly!"
My son-in-law is a regimental commander. As long as his position is secure, our family will benefit to some extent. And who knows, maybe he'll even be exonerated in the future.”
Meng Peiyu rolled her eyes at her, thinking to herself that no one had been wronged, so what was there to exonerate? Was this some kind of feudal dynasty, where a general amnesty was being issued?
But she couldn't say that this idea was wrong, after all, a few years later, Xiao Qing'er's situation would only be considered a moral issue, not something that would warrant dismissal and reformation.
The wind tousled their hair, and under the night sky, besides the chirping of insects, the only sounds were the raucous cries of their hungry stomachs.
After calming down, Meng Peiyu suddenly regretted bringing them along.
"Mom, how about we... go back?"
Before he could speak, Meng Hongsheng woke up. He coughed as he opened his eyes, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings with some panic.
"Where am I...?"
"Hongsheng, Hongsheng, you're awake!"
Liang Fanqi laughed and cried at the same time, and hugged the person in his arms: "The farm caught fire, but we escaped."
Pei-Yu helped us escape; she said she'd send us to Japan!
Meng Hongsheng's eyes sparkled as he looked at his daughter, Peiyu, who was sitting quietly not far away: "Peiyu, you've come to see your dad!"
Meng Peiyu's lips twitched slightly: "Mm!"
"Dad was wrong. Dad shouldn't have been bewitched by Li Wanwan and did those wrong things. Peiyu, please forgive Dad!"
As soon as Meng Hongsheng woke up, he stretched out his right hand and started crying. His delicate and frail appearance was truly pitiful.
Meng Peiyu didn't want to talk to him, but he kept his arm raised and coughed from time to time.
The deep blood seeping from the wound on her abdomen was something she couldn't ignore.
Meng Peiyu closed her eyes, stood up, went to Meng Hongsheng, and took his right hand.
"It's all in the past!" she said softly.
"It's not over, it's not over, Pei-Yu, Dad has let you down!"
It seemed like a confession, but how much of those tears were genuine, how much were genuine remorse, and how much were a threat to uphold filial piety—that remains unknown.
Meng Peiyu laughed, then let out a long sigh: "What's the point of saying all this? It's already happened, so let's just leave it at that!"
I acted impulsively, 'stealing' you and Mom out. But after thinking about it carefully, I still…”
Before she could finish speaking, Meng Hongsheng shook his head in horror: "No, no, if you stay on the farm any longer, you'll have to burn paper money for me!"
Ahhh, I don't want to go back. Xiaoyu, you can take me wherever you want, even to the most remote mountain village, Dad won't mind.
Dad made a mistake, but it wasn't a crime deserving of death!
"Alright, alright, I won't take you back then."
Meng Peiyu, out of some regard for their father-daughter relationship, reached out and touched his forehead: "It's not hot anymore, you're out of danger!"
Mentioning this, Meng Hongsheng clenched his fists, suppressing the hatred in his heart.
Looking up, he was resolute and stubborn: "Yu'er, as long as you give Dad a chance, Dad will definitely make a comeback!"
Meng Peiyu believed this. She sighed, "Let's rest first!"
"Okay, okay, Dad will listen to you!"
His gaze turned to Meng Linyu: "Linyu is back too. Did your sister pick you up?"
"It's good that you're back. Your sister has connections; it saves us from wasting our time in the countryside."
Meng Linyu lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement.
Sang Sheng ran over from a distance, wiping the sweat from his forehead: "Miss, I've found an abandoned kiln!"
Meng Peiyu nodded and followed him with her family. What should have been an hour's round trip for Sang Sheng took them nearly two hours.
They arrived at their destination, panting and groaning, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Peiyu rubbed her rumbling stomach, signaling Sang Sheng to keep an eye on the person, and ignoring Liang Fanqi's attempts to stop her, walked towards the faintly visible lights in the distance.
In fact, they stopped about 100 meters from the cave, took out insecticide, and sprayed it around.
Once the smell wasn't so pungent, I found a rock to sit on.
Take out a cup of instant noodles and pour boiling water over it.
After wolfing down his food, he ate two pounds of baked snails to satisfy his craving, then patted his belly contentedly: "That was nice!"
However, this comfort only lasted for fifteen minutes.
Meng Peiyu felt her stomach churning, and then she felt an urge to vomit.
He quickly took off his pants to relieve himself, suspecting that he hadn't eaten all day and had overeaten, which upset his stomach.
They didn't even consider the possibility of food spoilage; it just shows they trusted the system too much.
I finally managed to straighten up from the grass, my hands and feet were weak and my head was spinning.
He took out a bag of rice, two pieces of cured meat, and some dried vegetables from his spatial storage.
Just as I was about to leave, I tripped over a stone and almost fell.
The system alerted: "Host, you seem to have some pesticide poisoning!"
Meng Peiyu's vision blurred and then cleared: "That shouldn't be the case. I only sprayed it a few times. It should have evaporated long ago!"
"Host, what you have is a super-powerful insecticide extracted from mutated plants from the apocalypse. A tiny dose is enough to kill an elephant."
"Host, host, wake up, host?"
Meng Peiyu collapsed to the ground with a thud, unconscious.
The surrounding weeds withered and died quickly, forming a small vacuum zone.
The system guiltily replaced the insecticide, muttering "I'm so sorry!"
Inside the cave, Liang Fanqi grew anxious as her daughter had not returned for a long time.
He cautiously suggested to Sang Sheng, "Comrade Sang, it's all dark outside. Why don't you go and find Pei Yu?"
"Miss said to leave me here to protect your safety!"
“We don’t need it, we’re not going out anyway, but Pei-Yu…”
Seeing that he was unmoved by her words, Liang Fanqi decided to go out and find him herself. But before she even left the cave, she heard a wolf howl, which made her legs go weak with fear.
Sang Sheng looked in the direction Meng Peiyu had left, but couldn't see anything. He paced back and forth, restless and anxious.
Meng Hongsheng said, "Comrade Sang, go and look for her. Xiaoyu is our backbone; we can't afford to have anything happen to her."
Only then did Sang Sheng make up his mind and walk into the depths of the night.
They thought it would take a long time to find Meng Peiyu, but after walking only a hundred meters, they realized something was wrong.
The surrounding area was lush with vegetation, but this one patch looked as if it had been scorched by a fire. Meng Peiyu lay in the middle of the open space.
Sang Sheng stepped forward and smelled an indescribable odor. He tried to push her away, but accidentally got his hand covered in feces.
Sang Sheng's face turned pale, and he subconsciously pushed forward.
With a "bang," Sang Sheng snapped back to reality, not knowing what he had hit.
"Miss, Miss?" They quickly picked her up and noticed a cut on Meng Peiyu's cheek.
The branch almost poked her in the eye.
There was a heavy package next to him. He immediately carried the package on his back with one hand and dragged Meng Peiyu with the other.
He dragged her back to the cave and said with a guilty look, "I'm sorry, she was already injured when I found her."
"It's probably because I didn't eat today, and my blood sugar is low!"
