Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1144: Chapter 1145: Further Enrage Him

How could it not be him?

It was just after he said those words that these incidents burst out one after another in just a few days.

”Dad, are you still going to protect Xinian now? He’s really going to destroy all of our families!” Duan Qingqing covered her eyes and cried, ”Our family didn’t do anything to wrong him, yet he dragged us down too! Dad, if you don’t take care of him, who knows what else he might do!”

Old Meng slumped there, unable to deceive even himself that these incidents weren’t orchestrated by Meng Xinian.

The kid had always been tough-hearted and ruthless; no one who crossed him got off easily.

Now, he felt they had all wronged Chiang Xiao and bullied her, so he wanted revenge even more.

But how could he not consider that this was his home? These were all his family and relatives; they all needed to stick together to muster greater strength in the future.

By himself, what could he possibly achieve?

Someone barged into the main gate.

”Meng Xinian! Come out here!”

Meng Qingshan, Meng Wenxing, along with Meng Wenxing’s wife, the sisters of Meng Baoyuan, and several other Meng family relatives crowded in.

As soon as Meng Qingshan entered, he bellowed, ”Let Meng Xinian come out! I want to see if he’s gone insane!”

”Big brother, Xinian isn’t at home,” Old Meng sat there, drained of the strength to even stand.

The incidents had devastated him completely.

”Not at home? Where’s that little wretch?”

”What are you saying? Who?” Old Meng suddenly furrowed his brow.

”Who am I talking about? That Jiang woman you brought in! She’s the one who ensnared Meng Xinian, had him wrapped around her finger. She just needed to say we bullied her and Meng Xinian stepped in to take her side! She’s nothing but a little vixen, a troublemaker! If this were ancient times, she’d be Daji!” Meng Qingshan pounded the floor with his walking stick!

Yet Meng Cunhui, an uncle from the Meng family who followed, couldn’t help but interject, ”Cousin, that’s not exactly fair. I’ve heard that girl did quite a lot and did it well. She was perfectly happy with Xinian. If you hadn’t tried to get Junyuan involved, perhaps they wouldn’t have been so upset?”

He had come with his wife and children, partly out of compulsion.

Meng Qingshan had sent someone to summon them, claiming it concerned major family business. Although they were more distantly related, they still had to contribute somehow or at least make up the numbers.

Originally, the Meng Cunhui family had almost no presence within the Meng family.

They were the type who never fought for attention, complied with everything, and just worked hard without complaint.

Over time, the Meng family only remembered to call upon them when there was work to be done.

Now, Meng Cunhui’s sudden outspokenness took Old Meng by surprise.

Meng Qingshan was furious, glaring at him, ”What do you know? Which eye of yours saw what she did? You say she did well without seeing anything? Did she give you some kind of benefit?”

Meng Cunhui’s son, Meng Sheng, was much younger than both Meng Chaojun and Meng Wenxing, only twenty-nine. Although not particularly handsome, he was upright and had an honest countenance.

He didn’t have much interaction with the Meng family members; on most occasions, it was his parents who dealt with them. Now, hearing his father’s elder cousin speak so rudely to his father, he couldn’t help but interject, ”Uncle, when have we ever taken benefits from anyone? I think that if, as you say, these incidents are all related to Xinian, wouldn’t your current attitude only antagonize him further?”
