The old lady saw this and immediately became unhappy. She said coldly:
"Why, do you trust your husband but not me? Duobao is the Zhang family's golden nugget. To be frank, if my grandson were in danger, I could sacrifice my life for his. Can you?"
You can't.
Lin Nanfeng refuted the old lady's words in his heart.
In her previous life, after Duobao died, the old lady returned home in good health and wealth, so you are reluctant to exchange your life for her.
Lin Nanfeng lowered her head and said nothing. It was not her turn to speak in this family.
On the other side, Meng Niang was questioned by the old lady and was at a loss for what to do.
"Mom, that's not what I meant. Duobao is still young and I'm not by his side, so it's inevitable that I'll worry. Besides, Duobao is used to sleeping with me, and I'm just afraid that he won't see me making trouble with you guys."
The old lady didn't listen to her explanation and rolled her eyes.
The bottom line is that you don't agree with Duobao going out with us, but will your disagreement matter? It's not your turn to have a say in this family.
The old lady opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Zhang Shicheng, who was standing beside her, took out a small box that he had prepared in advance with deep affection.
"Mother Meng, inside are the deeds to our ancestral home and your current house. I'm handing them over to you for safekeeping. I swear on my life that I will never let anything happen to my son."
The old lady would definitely not agree. In her opinion, handing over the deed to the ancestral home was a big deal. Besides, she couldn't give it to a concubine!
Zhang Shicheng said in a humorous tone: "Mengniang, you should be relieved now. When you go abroad in the future, I will give you my son and you will give me the ancestral home. We will give you the home and the child at the same time."
In an instant, Lin Nanfeng laughed out loud in disgust at his words.
Don't think this shabby house is valuable now. Once it is ransacked, it will be worthless and no one will even dare to take it over.
You're handing over the house and the child at the same time? Just wait and see if there's a child for you to hand over.
"Look, if you don't obey my daughter, she'll laugh at me as her father."
Lin Nanfeng immediately stopped smiling when everyone was looking at her. She thought to herself: How do you know I'm not laughing at you because you're disgusting to me?
The old lady swallowed the words in her throat again. She knew that her son wanted to comfort Meng Niang, so she did not object.
Anyway, the title deed will return to her son sooner or later, and she firmly believes that Meng Niang cannot live without her son.
First: Duobao is in their hands, Mengniang will not give up her son.
Second: Meng Niang is a weak woman who usually doesn’t dare to go out. She shrinks back when someone speaks loudly. How can she survive in this world without holding on to her husband?
Therefore, the old lady was not afraid that Meng Niang would dare to rebel. If she wanted to give the land deed to her, then she would give it to her. She believed that she would not dare to do anything.
The old lady was helped to walk. Meng Niang didn't know what she was thinking at this time, but she accepted the land deed given by Zhang Shicheng.
Seeing that her mother stopped talking, Lin Nanfeng smiled and asked:
"Dad, if you all go out, what will happen to Mom and me? What will we eat? Who will buy clothes for the family? How will we pay for school?"
Zhang Shicheng looked at Meng Niang's expression and immediately took out some money, saying with a flattering smile:
"Silly child, Daddy is your biological father, and your mother is also my biological daughter-in-law. How could I ignore you?"
Lin Nanfeng took the money and asked again foolishly, "The teacher at school said we should learn art. Singing, dancing, calligraphy, pottery, Chinese painting, wood carving, what do you think is good to learn?"
Zhang Shicheng said nothing and took out the money. Lin Nanfeng added:
"Otherwise, I won't study. The tuition is too expensive. My classmates whose families don't have money will study the same way."
Study the same? No money at home? Zhang Shicheng said that this was impossible.
Originally, Zhang Shicheng felt guilty towards them. If he had just followed the crowd and learned one or two things, he would have just followed the crowd. But now, seeing his daughters' wet eyes, he said inexplicably:
“We all learn.”
Lin Nanfeng did not stop until he had swindled all of Zhang Shicheng's hidden private money.
Zhang Shicheng couldn't bear to leave his daughter and Meng Niang, so the family of four did not sleep separately that night. Lin Nanfeng didn't want her mother to be taken advantage of, so she chose to sleep in the same room with them.
Late at night, someone knocked on the door of Zhang's house. The servant led the man all the way to the backyard. The man walked with his limbs spread out, treating Zhang's house as his own.
Meng Yu's heart was in her throat in the room. Meng Xian was not at home in the middle of the night. She thought something had happened, but she didn't expect that as soon as the brother and sister met, Meng Xian asked her to borrow money, one million yuan at a time.
"How can I have so much money? What are you going to do with it?"
Suddenly thinking of something, Meng Yu felt a chill on his back and asked him loudly:
"You didn't go gambling again and lost a million, did you?"
"How is that possible?"
Meng Xian immediately denied it. Even if he did, he couldn't admit it. If he did, could he still get the money? He wasn't stupid.
Meng Yu was somewhat afraid of his younger brother, who had always been overbearing and aggressive. Moreover, Meng Xian confidently stated that he was not gambling with the money, so he believed him seven out of five.
But it was impossible for Meng Yu to lend him as much money as he asked. The money in her hands now was all the Zhang family's property.
This money is the basis for them to settle down and build a career after they go out, so of course they can't lend it to Meng Xian like this.
"The Zhang family really doesn't have that much money, your brother-in-law..."
"Lend it to me for five days, and I'll give you 10,000 yuan in interest a day." Meng Xian interrupted his sister and said, "I'll pay you back the one million yuan in one lump sum when we get on board."
Meng Yu couldn't believe what he heard, and after a moment of silence, he asked:
"You said this money is not for gambling, then what is it for? What kind of money can make you give me 10,000 yuan a day just in interest?" Meng Yu asked suspiciously.
Of course I gambled it, but can I be honest with you? No.
"Oh my dear sister, how can I lie to you, your own brother? You always tell me to be more successful, but now that I want to be successful, you don't believe me."
Meng Xian fell down on the chair next to Meng Yu in frustration and anger, and said without restraint:
"Then I will just eat, drink and have fun, and not care about anything else. I'll leave the Meng family to Meng Chang, my concubine. You guys don't have to go home either. Anyway, when I'm gone, you won't even have a say in the family."
At the end, Meng Xian's words contained a hint of threat.
His younger brother always spoke in this tone, and Meng Yu was used to it. But when he heard him mention Meng Chang and say such words again, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
I heard from my mother that Meng Xian has become much more obedient recently. He also wants to help his father run the business, but there is Meng Chang blocking the way, so his father can't see him.
It's rare that Meng Xian wants to do something now, but Meng Yu, as an older sister, doesn't want to discourage her brother.
"What are you going to do with this money?"
Meng Xian's spirits suddenly came up. He thought of the words he had prepared in advance and whispered in Meng Yu's ear:
"A merchant came from the south and wants to buy some of our local goods. He asked me to help him. I don't have much money, so isn't this the only way I can come to you?"
