Chapter 297: Aunt Meng's Struggle
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Aunt Meng, who was already furious about the wedding, felt that Meng Yitong was deliberately humiliating her when she saw her behavior.
"How can Second Aunt say that? I came back specially, is that something I did wrong?"
Meng Yitong said this with an innocent look on her face.
Aunt Meng was immediately angered by Meng Yitong's words.
In Pan Qiuying's opinion, Meng Yitong's good life today was all because she took advantage of her daughter.
Both this marriage and the generous dowry she brought with her originally belonged to her daughter.
It was because of Wanwan's willful behavior that Meng Yitong was given the opportunity.
They are all family, so it’s best not to let outsiders take away the wealth. Although it’s a bit regrettable, they won’t take it to heart.
It’s a pity that Meng Yitong was born with a crooked mind. Once a daughter is married off, she is like water spilled.
Since she got married, she has never brought any benefits to the Meng family.
Even at the banquets hosted by the Qin family, she never gave the Meng family any preferential treatment or honor.
Considering Wanwan's current situation, how could she not hate Meng Yitong?
Meng Yitong couldn't help but be shocked when she saw the resentful look in Aunt Meng's eyes.
No way? She just said two words and made Aunt Meng so angry?
How come Aunt Meng has become so petty after not seeing each other for a while?
Meng Yuansi, who was sitting nearby, saw the awkward atmosphere and immediately coughed and said, "Why did you come here alone? Didn't President Qin return to China this time?"
Although in terms of relationship, Qin Zhuoran is Meng Yuansi's brother-in-law, but because of Qin Zhuoran's status and aura, Meng Yuansi has never dared to call him that.
Meng Yitong heard this and responded, "He's back, but he's still adjusting to the time difference, so I came here first."
Upon hearing this, Second Uncle Meng couldn't help but secretly exchange a glance with Old Man Meng.
In the past, when Meng Yitong came over, as long as Qin Zhuoran was free, he would accompany her.
This was the first time the two of them visited after returning to China. According to past practice, Qin Zhuoran would definitely come along.
Qin Zhuoran suddenly didn't come this time, which made them think deeply.
Meng Yitong had no idea what they were thinking, so she simply took out her cell phone and sent a message to Meng's mother to tell her that she was there.
After sending the message, Meng Yitong put away her phone and continued, waiting leisurely for them to talk.
However, because of her appearance, several people in the hall suddenly became stuck.
After a long while, Uncle Meng took the initiative to speak and said, "Wanwan, Yiyi hasn't been home for a long time. Take her for a walk in the yard."
After Uncle Meng finished speaking, he turned to look at Meng Yitong and explained, "The yard was renovated this year, and the changes are quite big. You can go with Wanwan to see how it is different from before."
Hearing this, Meng Yitong smiled and shook her head, saying, "No need, right? I'm not very interested in landscape architecture."
"What are you guys talking about? Keep talking, don't bother me!"
After Meng Yitong finished speaking, she pretended to listen attentively.
Meng Yitong, who originally just wanted to deliberately disgust Uncle Meng's family, had no idea that her actions, in the eyes of Grandpa Meng, Uncle Meng and others, were nothing more than the barking of incompetent people after being furious.
Mr. Meng and others who did not want to cause trouble at this point in time could only suppress their anger and sit here quietly with Meng Yitong.
Fortunately, not long after, Meng's mother hurried down from upstairs, said hello to a few people, and took Meng Yitong away. Otherwise, their conversation today would probably not have been able to continue.
After reaching the upstairs, Meng Yitong leaned over the railing and looked downstairs.
Looking at the people downstairs arguing with red faces, Meng Yitong chuckled and said, "Mom, what are they talking about? Why are they so excited?"
Hearing this, Mother Meng also came over. Looking at the excited Second Aunt Meng below, Mother Meng said with a gossipy look on her face, "I guess they are still talking about the dowry!"
"I happened to overhear something when I passed by a few days ago. Right now, the second family is arguing over Meng Wanbai's dowry!"
"No way?!" Meng Yitong raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard that.
In the past, Meng Wanbai was the most favored in the Meng family. Her material treatment in the Meng family was not even comparable to that of the eldest grandson Meng Yuansi.
When she was a teenager, Madam Meng began to help her prepare the Bishui Manor as her dowry.
From the original owner's information, we can see that Old Madam Meng and Second Aunt Meng started helping her save for her dowry when she was a few years old.
Even if the Bishui Manor was given to her because she ran away from her marriage, she should have other dowries, and didn’t the Meng family compensate her with the Qiushui Villa later?
Logically speaking, they wouldn't quarrel like this over the dowry, right?
Mother Meng looked at her daughter's surprised expression and said to the people below, "Your second aunt wants to prepare a dowry for Meng Wanbai according to your dowry specifications, but the old man doesn't want to."
As Mother Meng spoke, she curled her lips in a gloomy manner.
This sister-in-law has always been competitive. Relying on the favoritism of the old man and the old lady, not only does the second branch always suppress the first branch in everything.
Even the children themselves have to be superior to their eldest daughter in every way.
From childhood to adulthood, Meng Wanbai has always been superior to Meng Yitong in every aspect.
Now that she is married, even if she is marrying a divorced man, Aunt Meng will definitely help Meng Wanbai to get more than Yi Yi when it comes to dowry.
When Mother Meng thought of this, she couldn't help but spit.
This Pan Qiuying is really whimsical. She doesn’t even think about what the situation was at the beginning and what the situation is now?
These two marriages cannot be compared at all, okay? Why would Mr. Meng give away so much of the Meng family's property just to save face for his daughter?
And even if Mr. Meng agreed, he would have to ask her eldest son whether he was willing?
Mother Meng thought about it and couldn't help but laugh at Meng Yuansi who was keeping his head down and saying nothing downstairs.
In the past, Meng Yuansi, the eldest grandson of the Meng family, was praised to the skies, but now it seems that he is nothing special.
In the face of one's own interests, how can there be any brotherly love or sisterly love?
When Mother Meng thought of this, she couldn't help but feel secretly thankful.
Although these two children of mine are not very smart and do not have any great abilities, at least they have pure minds and are humane.
Hearing this, Meng Yitong also looked at Meng Wanbai who was sitting quietly on the sofa.
Meng Wanbai now looks quite pitiful. There is no trace of the doted person in the original owner's memory.
