When Shen Qingli woke up, Meng Xiao was not in the room. After she had tidied up, she walked towards the living room.
Before I even walked in, I heard Wu Zhaodi's sharp and sarcastic voice: "Sister-in-law is so lucky. You must take good care of your eldest daughter. The blessing of twins is not something that ordinary people can enjoy."
"Sister-in-law, be careful with your words! Third brother! Don't you care about your wife?"
"Wu Zhaodi, if you say that again, I'll smash your face."
The voices of mother-in-law Ye Qiu and father-in-law Meng Jianjun rang out at the same time.
Shen Qingli walked in without pausing, and sat next to her mother-in-law. She slowly opened her mouth, a smile that didn't reach her eyes:
"Twins are indeed a great blessing. My mother-in-law is really lucky to have a daughter-in-law like me. Unlike Third Aunt, she is so pitiful. She doesn't even have a daughter-in-law, nor the blessing of twins. How about this? Third Aunt, stand closer to me and let me share this blessing with you?"
"Puchi." Meng Kexin was the first to laugh. Aunt Meng pinched her, and she suppressed her laughter. She lowered her head and her shoulders trembled.
Wu Zhaodi exploded at the slightest provocation:
"Boss, don't you take care of your wife and daughter-in-law? If you don't take good care of this little girl, she will climb over your heads in the future!
Look at me, look at me! I say one thing and she says ten things back. How can she respect the elderly and love the young? She has absolutely no respect for her elders! Meng Jianshe, are you speechless?
As she spoke, her fingers were still tapping in the air angrily.
Meng Xiao and Meng Cheng walked in from outside. He stood beside Shen Qingli with a gloomy face, his eyebrows sharp and his expression cold:
"Auntie, just speak. Don't point your fingers randomly. Respect the old and love the young. But does Auntie love the younger generation? You don't act like an elder. Why should my wife respect you?
She is my wife who was married into my family after a formal ceremony with three letters and six ceremonies. She did not come to the Meng family to be a slave and be bullied by my third aunt!
Since we got home this morning, Auntie San has been picking on my wife. My wife didn't take the initiative to offend.
therefore!
Please! Third Aunt!
To my wife! Shen Qingli!
Apologize! "
His last sentence came out almost word by word in a heavy voice.
The whole audience was silent. No one had ever seen Meng Xiao so angry towards his family.
"Look, look, everyone is about to rebel, right?!" Wu Zhaodi was intimidated by Meng Xiao's aura and felt a little nervous, but she still spoke with courage.
"Meng Xiao, your Third Aunt just doesn't think before she speaks. Don't pay any attention to her. Your Third Uncle will scold her when he gets home. This is just a trivial matter between our family. Why are you so angry?"
Meng Jianshe was no longer a silent quail. No one was talking, so he had to speak out. He pulled Wu Zhaodi aside.
"Uncle San, Shen Qingli is my wife. It's no small matter to me if someone else bullies her."
He rarely got angry, but at this moment his face was completely gloomy, his expression tense, and his eyes like ice.
Seeing that his nephew did not give him any face, Meng Jianshe also became angry.
"Brother, sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, won't you say something?"
Meng Jianjun slowly put down the teacup in his hand:
"Meng Xiao, it's always like this. Third brother, don't you know? Besides, Zhaodi really went too far today."
"What does the Third Brother want us to say? Isn't it enough to ask Zhao Di to apologize? Have you forgotten Meng Xiao's temper after being away from the capital for so many years?
Just now, Zhaodi said those nasty things, but you didn't stand up to speak out. In my opinion, your heart is crooked. You can't tell right from wrong."
Second uncle Meng Jianye also sat there without moving. After saying these words, he pressed Meng Kexin, who was about to speak, and said in a low voice: "This has nothing to do with you."
"Third Brother, forget about what you said about me. Now Xiao Ge'er wants an apology on behalf of his wife. You were the one who started the trouble in the first place. Is it so difficult to say sorry?"
Ye Qiu felt a little relieved when he saw his son protecting his wife. Good boy! This is how you should love your wife! Men who love their wives will become rich!
One of Shen Qingli's hands was held by Meng Xiao, and half of her body was blocked by him. She lowered her eyes and looked at her nails, not knowing what she was thinking.
Wu Zhaodi's face turned pale and she said nothing.
"Can't you hear me? Apologize!"
Meng Jianshe yelled at Wu Zhaodi. Wu Zhaodi had never seen her husband lose his temper like that before. She was even more frightened. She was usually a bossy person, and Meng Jianshe had always been his toy, but she hadn't expected to hit a wall this time.
"I'm sorry." She threw down a word and ran out quickly. She was too embarrassed to stay any longer! She felt so wronged!
"What's wrong, mom? Why are you crying? Why are you running?"
The three Meng Hao siblings and Shen Jiayao, who were walking towards them, immediately followed suit. Meng Jianshe couldn't stay any longer and walked out with a stern face without saying a word.
"I'm sorry for making you feel wronged." Meng Xiao squatted down in front of Shen Qingli.
Shen Qingli shook his head: "I haven't been wronged. Don't be angry."
"She looks so depressed every time she comes back, as if someone owes her something. If they come back for the New Year next year, Meng Xiao, you should take Qingli back to your father-in-law's house to celebrate the New Year. It's so annoying. She won't let me have peace during the New Year and is looking for bad luck!" Ye Qiu muttered.
"Where's grandpa?" Meng Xiao turned his head and asked.
"As soon as he heard it was twins, he went out to visit his old friends again, not even bothering about the cold." Father Meng was helpless. These old men, when they got older, were just competing over these things? Whose grandchild had a partner, who had a great-grandchild, whose younger generation was capable, who was in poor health.
The old man is really proud of himself this year...
