Chapter 1766 The Collapse of the Zhang Family
Meng Han, supporting Tao Shi, looked up at her and asked, "Sister Shu Yu, is my uncle really dead?"
"Yes, Jiang Kuanyu tortured your father for two days and two nights, but failed to find out the whereabouts of the Xuanyuan Sword. Naturally, he would suspect that your uncle had lied to him. So he interrogated him again. I don't know the details of the interrogation, but the doctor's final diagnosis was that he was scared to death."
Meng Han smiled bitterly. She had no feelings for her uncle from the Tao family, especially since he had harmed her father. Hearing the news of his death didn't evoke strong emotions, but it still left a bitter taste in her mouth.
Dr. Mi came over, took Tao's pulse, and then sighed, "She's suffered too much shock. Let her rest well. After she wakes up, you should try to comfort her. I'll prescribe some calming medicine for you."
"Thank you, Dr. Mi."
Just as Shu Yu was about to help Tao Shi back inside to lie down, Zhang Shi's furious curses suddenly came from next door, "It's you! You're the one who killed my child's father! You killed him! He was perfectly fine, we were living a peaceful life in Tao Family Village, but you insisted on buying a house for the Tao family in the county town. Now look what happened, they ran into bandits. He's been killed by you too, and now you're blaming the Tao family. You abandon us after he's dead! How could you be so vicious?"
Everyone was stunned by her train of thought. What kind of talk was this? Did Uncle Meng's helping the Tao family buy a house make it his fault? This was just too far-fetched.
But Zhang didn't care. The man of her house was dead, leaving only three children. Her husband's older sister's family wouldn't help her anymore. In fact, if her husband's older sister divorced Meng Kuan, she would still have to come back to live with her. How would she survive then?
Zhang couldn't bear to think about these things.
But her unreasonable demands were useless. Seeing that her uncle was clearly exhausted after saying so much, Meng Pei immediately gave a signal to the old women who had come with her, and they pulled Zhang Shi out.
Zhang kicked Tao Qin and yelled, "Are you dead? Your father's killer is right in front of you, and you're just going to stand there and watch?"
Tao Qin was already injured, and Zhang's kick landed right on the wound, causing her to scream in pain. Upon seeing this, Zhang scolded her for being useless.
Her nagging was so jarring, Shu Yu thought. No wonder Tao Qin had that kind of personality. Her parents were one cowardly and the other unreasonable. How could their child be reasonable?
Unable to bear it any longer, she stepped forward and struck Zhang on the back of the neck, knocking her unconscious.
Okay, the whole world is quiet now.
Shu Yu instructed the two old women, "Take her back, and by the way, back to the Zhang family. Tell the Zhang family that if they don't discipline her properly, they shouldn't blame the Meng family for being impolite."
"Yes, Mr. Lu Xiang."
The two old women simply dragged the person away.
Shu Yu turned to look at Tao Qin, who shuddered. She had obviously suffered a lot at the Meng family during this time, so she could see the situation more clearly than Zhang Shi. She immediately stood up and staggered out the door.
Uncle Meng closed his eyes wearily, then looked at Meng Pei and said, "Big brother, thank you for your hard work."
"Alright, you should rest and recover. Don't worry about what happens next."
Meng Pei helped him lie down, let everyone else come out, and then closed the door.
He took one last look at Uncle Meng, who had already fallen asleep, sighed, and said to Shu Yu beside him, "Your uncle is just too foolish. That Jiang Kuanyu is so vicious, yet he didn't mention me once. If he had just said that the sword was in my hands ten years ago, Jiang Kuanyu's attention would have been diverted, and he wouldn't have tormented me like this."
