Military district compound.
"Why are you here?" Old Master Lei looked at his younger brother, sister-in-law, and niece. These three people came here today, and they must have come for no reason.
"Oh, look at what you said, brother, I am your biological brother. I just missed you and came to see you." The uncle's family parted on bad terms last time, and Meng Wanqing thought they would not be able to come for a long time, but she couldn't help it after just a short while.
"Yes, uncle, you can't forget about us just because you have a grandson!" Lei Xiaoxue came over, of course to act as a lubricant.
There are many things that mom and dad are reluctant to say, or when the atmosphere is awkward, she will naturally step forward to mediate.
"Uncle, aunt, and elder sister, you guys chat. I have something else to do and need to go out." Meng Wanqing didn't want to waste time with them. It would be better to go to her son's place to see her grandson.
She didn't know what was going on with Ziyi, and she wanted to go and see him.
"Hey, don't go, let's chat for a while!" There was no way they could let Meng Wanqing leave. The main task today was to talk to Meng Wanqing about her niece. If she left, who would they talk to?
Since the Li family approached them, it meant that they thought highly of their family, and they also promised that if the matter was successful, they would give their family's boss a promotion.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I have been asking my eldest brother for so long but it has not been successful. Now, as long as I can help arrange a marriage between Meng Ziyi and the youngest son of the Li family, I can make further progress in my career. Of course, my uncle's family is very enthusiastic.
"Uncle and aunt, do you have anything else to say?" Meng Wanqing sat down.
"Um...it's like this. We heard that your niece is dating the youngest son of the Li family. If you ask me, since you all live in the same compound and know each other well, there's no need to be too cautious. Both children are willing, so you, as the elders, shouldn't try to break them up."
As soon as the old lady said this, Meng Wanqing's face turned pale, "Uncle and aunt, don't worry about this kind of thing."
"You...you kid, we are doing this for the good of the children. Since both children are willing, why are you still preventing them from meeting?"
"Yes, Wanqing, I'm not saying this to you, but I think this guy from the Li family is a perfect match for your niece. He's so outstanding. They're both college graduates, have a lot in common, and their family backgrounds are also a good match. What else can you be dissatisfied with?"
Lei Xiaoxue naturally also benefited from it. If the plan succeeded, the Li family would arrange a job for her son, so the old couple and their daughter worked so hard.
"Uncle, aunt, and elder sister, how much benefit have you received from others that you are speaking for outsiders like this?" Meng Wanqing asked back.
She really didn't expect that the Li family would actually let her uncle's family come to mediate. Both the old and the young are quite resourceful.
"This... Wanqing, look at what you are saying. We are doing this for your own good, but not only do you not appreciate it, you even say this to us."
"We are here to act as peacemakers because we are relatives. We are happy to see these two young people living a good life. We are also here because the child is your niece. Since we know about this matter, we want to mediate."
"God knows what's in it for us!"
The three of them acted together, singing in unison, which made Mr. Lei frown.
"Why are you meddling in this? This is a matter between the Meng and Li families!"
"Brother, what you said is not right. Wanqing is our niece-in-law after all, and there is no difference between her and a half-daughter-in-law. So, this girl from the Meng family is just like our granddaughter!" Grandpa Lei's younger brother is always good at speaking, and he can bring the two families closer together with just a few words.
"Uncle, as your aunt, I can't interfere in matters like this. Let my brother take care of Ziyi's affairs. You guys should stay out of this." Meng Wanqing's meaning was very clear.
Even I, as your aunt, don't dare to speak like that. You guys have nothing to do with this matter, so just stay out of it.
"Wanqing, I really don't know what you are thinking. The young man from the Li family is so good. Not only is he handsome, but he also has a bright future. That's because my family doesn't have a daughter. If I had a daughter, I would be eager to become her in-law." Seeing that her parents were unable to persuade her, Lei Xiaoxue hurried to help persuade them.
Meng Wanqing looked at the three of them seriously, "Do you know what kind of person Li Hongyu is? Do you know him well enough to come and make peace?"
"He was married in the countryside, but his wife died unexpectedly. That means he's now a widower. He concealed his marriage history and deceived my niece. And you tell me he's excellent."
Meng Wanqing's questioning left the three uncles at a loss for words.
"This...we've also heard about this. The boy from the Li family is quite innocent. After all, he was also plotted against. The two of them have no feelings for each other. How can they be considered a couple? Don't take it seriously. As long as they have a good relationship, these are nothing." The old lady said without giving up.
"Hmph, since you like him so much, just let your own granddaughter marry him!" Meng Wanqing left directly. She didn't want to look at them anymore.
"This... Big brother, look at my niece-in-law... why does she speak like that?" The uncle didn't expect that his niece-in-law, who was always kind and cheerful, would get angry.
They wanted to become relatives with the Li family, but they were not willing. They would never be interested in their girls.
"Ergou, if you still want to stay in Beijing, just stay here honestly. If you dare to mess around, I'll show you how I'll deal with you. You'll get back the way you came here!" Although Grandpa Lei didn't talk much, his words really scared his younger brother and sister-in-law.
“Big Brother!”
"You guys can go now. If there is nothing particularly important, you don't have to come here anymore. Just live your own lives well. You don't need to worry about other things." Grandpa Lei drove them away.
My uncle and his family left in disgrace.
