Chapter 134: Tooth for Tooth
That afternoon, according to the rules of the Meng family, all the family members, young and old, had to go to the old house to have dinner with Grandpa Meng.
Meng Tan had been waiting in the yard for a long time. When he saw Meng Han appear, he greeted him with a smile.
Seeing Meng Han's eyes turning blue, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "Tsk, what were you doing last night?"
Meng Han glanced at him, ignored him, and walked past him into the house.
Meng Tan had long been accustomed to being ignored by Meng Han, so he didn't take it seriously and followed him into the house.
As the two of them walked into the side hall, they bumped into Meng Shou. He glanced at the two of them and finally his eyes fell on Meng Tan.
"Youngest, you loved following Meng Han around when you were little. I didn't expect you couldn't change this habit even when you grew up. It seems like you're destined to be a follower."
Meng Tan smiled and nodded, "Yes, I learned this from you, second brother. Don't you also like to follow behind your eldest brother?"
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Meng Shou's eyes, but he didn't show it on his face. "That's true. A younger brother should just follow his older brother quietly. Only then can he live a stable life."
Meng Tan still smiled, "That's right, but I still have to follow my brother. He won't be so cruel as to hurt his younger brother."
His words put an end to the play.
Compared to Meng Qin and Meng Shou, who have the same grandparents but different grandmothers, Meng Han and Meng Tan, who have the same grandparents, are naturally closer.
It also alludes to the incident of Meng Chunsheng being persecuted.
Meng Shou glanced at Meng Han at this time, and seeing that his face was still as calm as ever, he hummed softly.
"The eldest brother is like a father. If a younger brother doesn't obey, the older brother should take on the responsibility of educating him, right?"
Meng Han gave him a rare smile, "Second brother, what you said makes sense. Since you are the elder, it is natural for you to discipline the younger generation."
After saying that, he nodded to Meng Shou and walked past him.
Meng Tan followed and gave Meng Shou an ambiguous smile.
Meng Shou turned around and looked at the two men's backs, frowning in confusion. Meng Tan's smile was definitely not simple.
The Meng family members arrived one after another, filling up the long table, even though their married daughter had not returned.
If everyone were to arrive, I'm afraid there wouldn't be enough space at both tables.
As soon as Mr. Meng was helped to sit down by Meng Tan, he heard Meng Shou, who was sitting at the lower right, say, "Why isn't Meng Chunsheng here? What has this kid been busy with lately? He doesn't even have time to have dinner with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Meng, who had not noticed this, raised his head and looked down.
Meng Yunjiang's family sat far away and did not receive the attention of Mr. Meng. If no one mentioned it, or if one or two people were missing, Mr. Meng would not have noticed it.
Now, not only Mr. Meng, but everyone at the table turned their eyes over there.
At this time, Meng Yunjiang still didn't know where Meng Chunsheng had gone, and he couldn't get through on the phone, and his face looked grim.
Meng Tan leaned on Mr. Meng's armrest and suddenly said, "Come to think of it, why didn't Yujie come? It's understandable that Chunsheng, an adult, didn't come because he was busy with work, but Yujie is just a kid and he doesn't work, so what is he busy with?"
Meng Yujie is Meng Shou's son and is in the third grade of junior high school.
Meng Shou's face turned a little unhappy when he heard this.
His son was very naughty and got into trouble all the time. He had been scolded by Mr. Meng several times.
Normally, Mr. Meng wouldn't complain about him if he didn't see him, but when Meng Tan mentioned this, it brought Meng Yujie back to Mr. Meng.
He also made an excuse for Meng Chunsheng's absence, saying that he was busy with work.
Sure enough, Mr. Meng was diverted by Meng Tan's words and began to ask about Meng Yujie's recent situation.
"Has he made any progress in his studies recently?"
As soon as Mr. Meng finished asking this question, Meng Shou's wife's phone rang. She picked up the phone and her face suddenly looked a little bad. She hung up the phone quietly.
Meng Tan was sharp-eyed and quickly asked, "Why didn't Second Sister-in-law answer the phone? What if it was Yujie calling?"
"No, it's a harassing call. They keep asking me to buy funds recently." Meng Shou's wife responded with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Shou's phone rang. He looked at the notes and was stunned for a moment.
Meng Tan spoke again: "Could it be that the phone call from Second Brother is also from a fund?"
"Yes, she has been calling us both every day recently. After calling her, she calls me." As he was about to hang up the phone, Mr. Meng spoke.
"Stop being so secretive and put the call through."
Meng Shou paused, "Grandpa, this is the phone number for selling funds, not some other number."
Old Master Meng looked at him, his cloudy eyes filled with an irresistible pressure. "Why, Grandpa is old, and no one listens to him anymore, right?"
Meng Shou raised his hand and wiped his sweaty forehead, "No, no."
"Then take it. I want to see what kind of fund could scare you two like this."
Meng Shou had no choice but to confess, "Grandpa, this is Yujie's homeroom teacher calling. I'm worried that Yujie might get into trouble again at school, and it might affect your mood."
Meng Shou's wife echoed, "Yes, we were afraid of affecting you, but Yujie has been very well behaved recently and hasn't gotten into trouble in a long time."
Mr. Meng's face was filled with anger. "What? You think that if you're being secretive like this, I'll feel better? Pick it up now!"
Seeing that he couldn't fool the person, Meng Shou could only press the answer button.
As if it wasn't chaotic enough, Meng Tan reminded him, "Second brother, grandpa's hearing is not good. You have to turn on the hands-free mode so he can hear you."
Meng Shou cursed Meng Tan in his heart and reluctantly turned on the hands-free mode.
As soon as the hands-free call was turned on, an anxious female voice came from the other end.
"Meng Yujie's father, something bad has happened!"
The hearts of Meng Shou and his wife sank. Meng Shou first looked up at Old Man Meng, and then spoke in a low voice at the old man's angry look.
"What happened? I'm at a family dinner right now. Please tell me simply and clearly."
Meng Tan sneered at the side.
This Meng Shou is still playing tricks in front of Mr. Meng. Does he really think that the old man is old and easy to fool?
As expected, Mr. Meng spoke directly into the phone, "Mr. Meng Yujie, right? What happened to Meng Yujie? Please tell me everything in detail."
There was a pause on the other end, not knowing who to listen to for a moment, but perhaps because the situation was too urgent, she didn't care and spoke quickly.
"It's about that incident last time when Meng Yujie injured a classmate. Didn't you reconcile with him? But for some reason, he changed his mind today and came to school to make trouble, demanding an explanation from you."
"As you know, the students in our school all have families with significant problems. This time, the other party's attitude is very strong, and the school is really powerless to persuade them. They are making a scene at school right now."
"Also, someone else came to the school and said Meng Yujie instigated his child to touch prohibited items. He needs to find Meng Yujie to ask for an explanation, otherwise he will call the police."
"You'd better come to school."
