He should bear those misfortunes alone.
Although it is just a vague rumor.
Can……
He didn't want to risk the Chi family.
To find solace for their own souls, they risk the lives of other people's entire families.
That would be too selfish.
If he really did that, how could he be worthy of the Chi family's kindness to him?
Third Sister-in-law Chi was about to say something in a fit of anger, but First Sister-in-law Chi quickly covered her mouth and dragged her out.
"No, Meng Chenyi, what are you thinking? Are you kidding me?"
Meng Kuo was an impatient man.
Little Fifth Brother was no exception, echoing Meng Kuo's words: "Exactly, what do you mean by that?"
First, they asked if I was willing.
And then you refused?
Are you kidding me?
"Xiao Wu, don't talk nonsense!"
Old Man Chi scolded his son, then sighed.
Chi Dashan was the first to react, asking, "Are you worried that this so-called ominous sign will affect us?"
"I don't want to gamble on that 'what if'," Meng Chenyi replied truthfully.
The Chi family felt a pang of sadness and a heavy weight in their hearts.
How could Meng Chenyi's biological father not cherish him when he is so wonderful?
Just because of his purple eyes?
“We don’t care, Chenyi, you…”
"Let him be. Let Chenyi do whatever makes him comfortable. Our relationship won't disappear just because we don't acknowledge each other as godparents."
Old Man Chi interrupted Aunt Chi.
Men are often more magnanimous than women; there's no need to dwell on such trivial matters.
Now that things have been said to this extent, Aunt Chi naturally stopped worrying about it.
After the meal, when Meng Chenyi left, Chi Tang placed a piece of chocolate in his hand.
After returning to the Meng family.
Meng Chenyi secretly returned to his room without telling Meng Kuo. Looking at the dark, pill-like chocolate, he took a bite without hesitation.
It was bitter at first, but it slowly turned into sweetness...
Meng Chen looked down at the half-eaten chocolate in his hand, his heart filled with joy: "Are you telling me that my future is all smooth sailing?"
He found a purse, wrapped the remaining half of the chocolate in a handkerchief, and put it into the purse.
Finally, it was hung on my waist.
The sweetness she gave.
He always carried it with him.
"Meng Chenyi, a letter has arrived from home."
Meng Kuo cheered and shouted Meng Chenyi from outside.
Meng Chen got up and went out to get the letter.
After reading it, his face darkened.
"What's wrong?"
Meng Kuo was also deeply concerned.
Is something else happening?
Meng Chenyi: "Mother suddenly fell ill, and the illness came on suddenly. The people in the mansion are worried... They want to persuade Mother to summon me back to the capital, but Mother will not allow it. This letter was written by the nanny who serves Mother."
"Huh? How could you suddenly fall ill? Could someone be plotting against you?"
Which child who grows up in that kind of place is innocent?
Even if they always harbor malicious intentions, they still know the methods to harm others.
Otherwise, how would I have survived until now?
Meng Chenyi remained silent.
"Do you want to go back and take a look?"
"Um."
His mother was seriously ill, and as a son, how could he not go back to fulfill his filial duty?
Meng Kuo also knew this was the principle, but...
"You've already hidden here, and he still won't let you go. If you go back to the capital, wouldn't you be like a lamb entering a tiger's den?"
"He's like a rat in the gutter, only daring to use those despicable methods, and wouldn't dare to do anything to me openly."
After what happened, he—didn't dare to do it again!
Meng Kuo felt as if his throat was blocked, unable to speak. It was as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his head, making him feel extremely oppressed.
Why can't I escape it?
When do you plan to leave?
"Tomorrow."
He can't just leave whenever he wants; he has to make arrangements.
Meng Kuo nodded and said loudly, "I'll go back with you! Let's see who dares to touch my brother!"
Meng Chen laughed: "You're not allowed to go."
"I don't care, I'm going to stick with you, you can't shake me off!"
Seeing Meng Kuo's insistence, Meng Chenyi said nothing more.
Meng Chenyi did not immediately inform the Chi family about his departure.
The crops are almost ready for harvest, and the men in the family and their two daughters-in-law have all gone to work in the fields.
Aunt Chi had just finished washing clothes when she entered the room and happened to see Chi Tang standing on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed). She lost her balance and was about to fall to the ground!
At the critical moment, An'an, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, and Aunt Chi, who had already walked in, immediately rushed to help Chi Tang!
"Bang!"
"Wow!"
Aunt Chi barely caught Chi Tang, and fell to the ground with Chi Tang in her arms. Fortunately, Chi Tang was on Aunt Chi's body and was unharmed.
But An'an wasn't so lucky.
In order to pick up An'an, he lost his balance and fell off the kang (a heated brick bed).
He landed on the back of his head.
After a muffled thud, came An'an's heart-wrenching cries.
Aunt Chi was shocked and immediately put Chi Tang down on the ground before picking up An An.
When I touched it, it was wet—it was blood!
Aunt Chi's heart jumped into her throat instantly; An'an was crying so hard she could barely speak!
"Tangtang, stay put! Silang and Wulang, don't move!" After giving these instructions, Aunt Chi quickly carried An'an out the door.
Standing across the street, I called out to Auntie Fat.
"Auntie Pang, could you keep an eye on the kids at home for me? An'an bumped his head, I'm taking him to see a doctor!"
With this injury, I'm afraid I'll have to go to town.
Wait, let's go to the Meng family!
Then, without waiting for Aunt Pang's reaction, Aunt Chi carried An'an to the Meng family in a flash.
