Chapter 2427 Extra Chapter: Meng Qi's Wife
The Meng Family Escort Agency began its expansion five years ago. After the Meng family received the imperial plaque, the number of Meng family escorts increased rapidly.
Uncle Meng and Meng Pei discussed taking this opportunity to expand the escort agency, and the Meng Family Escort Agency in Chenggu County quickly became the number one in the county.
But when news came back the following year that Meng Yunzheng had passed the imperial examination with top honors, even more people came to the Meng family's escort agency. Although some people left after Meng Yunzheng resigned and returned home, it was precisely because of this that the remaining escorts became even more valuable and elite.
After attending Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu's wedding that year, Uncle Meng returned to Changjin Prefecture with Meng Pei and quickly opened a branch office in the prefectural city.
Originally, Uncle Meng wanted Meng Pei to manage it, but Meng Pei refused.
His son would settle in Dong'an Prefecture, so he naturally wouldn't stay here.
Therefore, the heavy responsibility of establishing the branch office fell on Meng Qi's shoulders.
Meng Qi was young and inexperienced, and he couldn't control those seasoned bodyguards at all.
This was the Meng family's escort agency, and a large part of it was Meng Pei's hard work. So he didn't rush back, but stayed in the prefectural city to help Meng Qi gradually establish himself.
He stayed for more than half a year, only returning to Dong'an Prefecture at the end of the year. When Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu returned from the southwest, Meng Pei had only returned half a month earlier than them.
Therefore, both Meng Qi and Meng Han, the siblings, are currently in the prefectural city. Meng's uncle and Tao Shi remain in Chenggu County; Tao Shi was originally in the prefectural city helping Meng Qi take care of the children.
However, Tao and Meng Qi's wife simply didn't get along. Meng Qi's wife, He, was someone who really enjoyed accompanying Meng Qi on his escort missions. Meng Qi, on the other hand, shared the same interests with her, and the couple finding it a pleasant experience to travel together.
This experience stopped when she became pregnant and gave birth.
But she only stayed home for that period of time. When the child was six months old, she went out with Meng Qi again, leaving the child with Tao and the wet nurse.
Even though Tao had changed her old ways, she was still a traditional woman. She could accept that He followed her husband around before having children, and a harmonious marital relationship was naturally a good thing.
But she couldn't accept that even though she was a mother, she could leave her six-month-old baby at home and still run around outside.
What is she going there to do? She doesn't need to escort the goods; she's just going along for fun. She won't be taking care of the children, she won't have any serious work, and she'll only be a hindrance to her son who's escorting the goods.
Meng Qi was caught in the middle, feeling extremely conflicted. Although he didn't completely agree with his mother, he also felt that his wife's actions were inappropriate.
The child belongs to both of them; either he or his wife should take care of him. There's no reason to leave him entirely to Tao. He needs to escort goods to earn money to support his family, so the child can only be left with He.
As for Madam He, she naturally had her own set of reasons. Before the marriage, she had said that she wanted to travel all over the country and see the world, hoping that Meng Qi wouldn't restrict her. Meng Qi promised, but now he couldn't keep his promise. What kind of man is he?
The situation in the Meng family became very tense, and Meng Han wrote a letter to Shu Yu to complain.
Shu Yu was not in a position to get involved in these matters. In the end, Meng Pei couldn't stand it anymore and said to Meng's uncle, "Then let them each take a step back. Meng Qi's wife can stay at home and take care of the child for another year or two. When the child is older and Meng Qi has the energy, then let the three of them go out together."
