Meng Xueyun pursed her lips after hearing Ye Zhenghua's words, looking completely unconvinced.
"Where did you hear all this? I've worked in the canteen for so long and I've never heard anyone say anything bad about Director Liu. It's probably all just baseless rumors. Like when you were elected as the workshop director, Zhang Chenggong was spreading rumors about you all over the factory, wasn't he? He's just too outstanding, and people are jealous of him."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenghua's anger flared up instantly, and his voice rose eight octaves.
"How can it be something that's just a rumor? You may not know what kind of person he is, but I know him very well!"
He held up his hand and waved five fingers, saying, "I've seen him flirting with girls from the factory! He's had more than that many relationships!"
"Can't you use your brain before you do things? Liu Mingxuan is a good catch, and he's a graduate student. If he were really an honest and upright person, would he be almost thirty and still single? People his age usually have kids running around all over the place, old enough to run errands!"
"What? Almost thirty? Aren't you only twenty-five?" Meng Xueyun was startled.
Ye Zhenghua sneered, "He doesn't even know his own age, yet he's in such a rush to find a partner. He's twenty-nine, almost thirty, and all he does is fuss over nothing, trying to look younger than he is."
Meng Xueyun rolled her eyes at him and waved her hand impatiently.
"Being older is fine, it means you'll be more caring. Besides, he's a graduate student, handsome, so it's not wrong for him to have high standards. It's a matter of free love, dating a few times is fine. Our Xiaohan is different from those ordinary female factory workers."
She counted on her fingers and began to list Meng Zihan's good points.
"Good-looking, cultured, and gentle, she and Director Liu will definitely have something in common..."
She became more and more delighted as she spoke, clapped her hands, and raised her eyebrows triumphantly at Ye Zhenghua.
"I think this will definitely work out! You'll have a workshop foreman's nephew-in-law, how prestigious will that be!"
"I don't care!"
Ye Zhenghua knew he couldn't reason with her, so he simply stopped trying to persuade her and left her with just one sentence.
"I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you two. You won't admit your mistakes until you're faced with the truth! Don't come crying to me when someone takes advantage of you and dumps you!"
"How can you be like this? Can't you stand to see Xiaohan doing even a little bit well? You just started dating her, and you're already cursing her like this. What good will it do you if she gets dumped?"
Meng Xueyun was so angry that she shouted.
"Alright, alright, if she can marry Liu Mingxuan, I'll be waiting to eat her wedding candy."
He knew perfectly well that Meng Xueyun's mind went completely blank when it came to Meng Zihan's affairs, and she wouldn't listen to reason with her.
However, Meng Zihan is no pushover; she might actually find a way to capture Liu Mingxuan and make sure he can't escape again.
That's good; it can be considered eliminating a scourge for the people, a meritorious deed.
Moreover, if the two really get together, Meng Zihan will definitely move out, which will be a good opportunity to get rid of this burden and save her from having to look at him and feel annoyed every day.
Thinking about it this way, Ye Zhenghua also hoped that the two of them could get married.
He ignored the two of them, plopped down on the sofa, and yelled at Meng Xueyun, "When are we going to eat? I'm starving!"
"Wait, Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei haven't finished school yet."
Meng Xueyun glanced out the window but didn't see the twins. Then she remembered something important.
She sat down next to Ye Zhenghua and asked, "By the way, how did it go with asking Ye Linchen for the money today? Did she give it to you?"
Ye Zhenghua's face instantly turned ugly, and his brows furrowed into a knot.
"What money do you want? That brat not only refused to give me any money, but also called the police to arrest me! She's really gotten too big for her britches, becoming more and more outrageous, calling the police at the drop of a hat, she's addicted to it!"
"You called the police again? Then you'll end up in the police station again?" Meng Xueyun looked him up and down.
"That's right, the police gave me a good scolding, like they were disciplining their grandson. And I had to bow and scrape and praise them for being right."
Ye Zhenghua felt a surge of anger rising within him when he thought about what Ye Linchen had said.
“She told me to ask Meng Zihan for money. See? I told you she was still angry with Xiaohan, didn’t I?” He glared at Meng Xueyun reproachfully and complained, “It’s all because of what your niece did before. She offended Xiaochen to death. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so heartless!”
Meng Xueyun seemed unsurprised, her expression remaining calm.
She curled her lip and said, "I know that brat too well. She has no conscience at all. She's an ungrateful wretch. If she's really capable, we'll be lucky if she doesn't kick us while we're down. You expect her to help us?"
However, since Ye Linchen doesn't pay, Meng Zihan can continue living at home, which is fine.
As Meng Xueyun thought about it, a smile appeared on her face.
"Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei should be back soon, I'll go cook."
After saying that, she hummed a tune and happily went to the kitchen.
Ye Zhenghua was even angrier when he saw her stupid appearance.
Be happy now, but you'll have your day to cry later.
He touched his briefcase, got up, and carried it into the bedroom.
Meng Xueyun must not know that the government has given him a bonus; he needs to find a place to hide it.
Meng Zihan is dating Liu Mingxuan. If Meng Xueyun knew about this money, she would definitely use it to buy new clothes for Meng Zihan.
Giving it to her is less desirable than keeping it to yourself as your own private savings.
Where should we hide it? We need to find a place that Meng Xueyun would never expect.
Ye Linchen learned about Meng Zihan's relationship a week later.
That day, Feng Linlin and Lin Xiaojuan asked her to go to the library to study. On the way, Feng Linlin said mysteriously that she had some shocking gossip to tell her.
Before Ye Linchen could say anything, Lin Xiaojuan became curious.
