"Hehe, thank you, doctor. I'm relieved now." Mei's father smiled awkwardly, wanting nothing more than to leave as soon as possible. He shouldn't have come here today.
"How about I take you to see those twins? They haven't been discharged yet, and they might actually be your daughters, just coincidentally looking exactly like other girls!" The doctor raised an eyebrow and joked.
"No, no, no, thank you for your help, I'll be going now!" Mr. Mei blushed from being teased, nodded to the doctor, and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Mei's father went to the daycare to pick up his daughter in advance, and on the way he told her not to tell a third person about this.
Mei Si didn't understand. Since it was already confirmed that her younger brother was her biological son, why couldn't they say it?
When Mei's father came home during his work hours, how could Mei's mother, who was in postpartum confinement, not ask about it?
"Why are you back so early today?" Aunt Mei asked casually.
"Oh, well, I have something to do today."
Mei's mother had only asked casually and didn't take it seriously, but seeing how Mei's father was stammering and stammering, she suddenly felt she should ask him to find out the truth.
"What's wrong? You didn't tell me yesterday?" Mei's mother shifted her gaze from her youngest son to Mei's father.
"Haha, I... something came up today, yes, something came up." Dad Mei shifted his buttocks closer to the edge of the kang (heated brick bed), feeling that Mom Mei's gaze was a little creepy.
"What is it?" Mei's mother asked, staring intently at Mei's father.
"...It's just what happens at the factory, oh dear! You wouldn't understand even if I told you!" Dad Mei lowered his head, avoiding Mom Mei's gaze, and decided that he would never lie again; his wife was too scary!
"Mei Wenhua! Tell me! Did you go out and chat with someone?" The thought that Mei's father might be having an affair made Mei's mother feel her heart burning, and her voice rose eight octaves.
"No! What nonsense are you talking about? There's nothing to it! Keep your voice down, what if you scare my son?" When Mei's father heard that Mei's mother had wronged him, he immediately jumped up and cried out that he was innocent.
"You still say no, no, why are you jumping up? What else could it be but a guilty conscience?" The more Mei's mother looked at Mei's father, the more she felt that he was guilty.
Mei's mother: I stayed at home to give birth to his children, and he still went out and messed around with other women.
The more Mei's mother thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Her nose tingled, and tears were about to fall.
"Mom, you've misunderstood. Dad just went to the hospital and didn't want you to know." Seeing that her mother was about to cry, Mei Si couldn't help but reveal the truth.
"What? The hospital? Why didn't you tell me you were going to the hospital? Old Mei, what's wrong with you?" When Mei's mother heard her daughter's words, she realized she had misunderstood and breathed a sigh of relief.
But then my heart started racing again. I didn't want her to know I was going to the hospital. Could it be that I had some serious illness?
"Sick? Don't guess, I don't have any problems!"
"Ms. Mei's father said with a frown."
“My dad is fine. He just went to the hospital to ask if my brother is his biological son.” Mei Si decided to tell the truth. Mei’s mother couldn’t cry. What if she cried and her eyesight deteriorated later?
"What?! Mei Wenhua!!! You bastard! I bore your children and you dare to doubt me?" Mei's mother glared at her and angrily picked up a pillow from the kang (a heated brick bed) and threw it at Mei's father.
"Wow~!" Little Mei was woken up by his mother.
"No! Don't listen to Sisi's nonsense! First, comfort your son and stop him from crying."
Mei's father grabbed the pillow that was thrown at him.
"Don't try to appease me! These sons aren't even your biological children, they're none of your business!"
"Sisi, why don't you say the whole thing?" Mei's father felt that he had been tricked by his daughter.
“Oh, Mom, I also initially thought my brother wasn’t Dad’s biological son,” Mei added.
"You! Aren't you my daughter? I'm your own mother!" Mei's mother pointed at her daughter with a trembling finger, feeling that she had spoiled her daughter for nothing.
"Yes!" Mei Si answered loudly, afraid that her mother would doubt her identity.
"Fifth Sister, listen to me, it's not what you think. Last night, Sisi dragged me to the kitchen, and she told me..."
"Pfft! Hahaha... Mei Wenhua, are you crazy? Your daughter is only 6 years old, and you believe what she says? You even went to the hospital like an idiot, hahaha..." Mei's mother was breastfeeding her son when she heard that the whole thing started because of her daughter's suspicion, and she burst out laughing.
"I didn't want to tell you because it was too embarrassing." Seeing that his wife was happy, Mr. Mei breathed a sigh of relief, finally clearing up the misunderstanding.
"Why can't I believe what I say? I have evidence; his face was indeed very red." Mei Si didn't understand why she couldn't believe what she said. What did it have to do with her being 6 years old?
A week later, just as Mei's father had said, Mei Xiaodi was no longer popular, but Mei Si no longer wanted to get close to him.
This kid's voice gets louder every day, and he can't understand human speech. Every time he cries, it's like a demonic sound piercing my brain.
Mei Si's head would start buzzing after listening for only a short while, and Mei Liang said that it would deafen her.
After learning what deafness was, Mei Si wanted to stay even further away from Mei Xiaodi, since the kid knew sonic powers.
For the first time on this planet, Mei Si had someone she was afraid of—Little Brother Mei, Mei Jian.
Because of the younger brother of the Mei family, Mei Si and Mei Liang began a life of not being home every day. Apart from eating and sleeping, Mei Si spent the rest of her time outside with Mei Liang.
During summer vacation, Mei Si had to continue attending daycare, and the adults in her family all had to go to work. Mei Liang didn't want to go to his maternal grandparents' house or go to the store with his maternal grandmother, so he started to have food expenses—2 mao (0.2 yuan).
Mei Liang was actually quite resentful, feeling that his father gave him too little. He gave his sister 50 cents when they ate together, but he only got 20 cents for himself? It should have been at least 25 cents.
However, Mei Liang felt somewhat relieved after learning that Zhang Yuanchao and Xu Aiguo's food expenses were 1 mao (0.1 yuan).
Mei Liang then thought that his sister's appetite was twice that of his, so it was normal for her to have more food expenses than him. If calculated based on his sister's appetite, Mei's father should have given her 60 cents back then, but he gave her 50 cents.
Mei Liang: Sure enough, I am the most important. I am the eldest son.
Ever since Mei Liang and his two companions started learning martial arts from Mei Si, they had always wanted to speak up against injustice, but unfortunately, they had no opportunity to use their skills and had never encountered any bullies who preyed on the weak.
This summer vacation, Mei Liang had some money and started taking his two best buddies out to act cool. The three of them drank soda and ate meat buns every day.
And then... they were treated as weak.
"Hand over the money right now, or we'll beat you to a pulp!" The man rubbed his nose with his thumb, pulled up his pants which were about to fall down, and said, shaking his leg.
The two accomplices behind the man were also shaking their legs, glancing sideways at Mei Liang and his two companions.
