After being beaten repeatedly by Old Mrs. Meng, Sister-in-law Kong did not say anything unfavorable to Zhou Baoer. When Old Mrs. Meng entertained the old sisters who came to congratulate her on her birthday, she coaxed Meng Meng into the room while no one was paying attention.

Looking at the familiar furnishings in the house, Sister-in-law Kong began to wipe her tears again: "These things are all your mother's dowry. They were all placed in the main house before. Now that your father has a new wife, he has thrown out all your mother's things."

These words were obviously provocative. It was clear that the Meng family gave Meng Meng all the things left by Meng Meng's biological mother, but she said they were discarded. She was afraid that it would not arouse Meng Meng's feelings towards the Meng family, or Zhou Baoer.

The same hatred.

Seeing Meng Meng's face pulled silently, Sister-in-law Kong thought she had heard what she was thinking, and said in a considerate tone: "Mengmeng, your father and your grandparents have all been won over by that woman. They will never be like this again."

I loved you so much before, and when that woman wins a man and establishes a firm foothold in the Meng family, she will definitely try her best to tease you!"

Meng Meng was irritated and didn't want to hear these words. But the Kong family really loved her. She held back her anger and didn't get angry. She just said in a bad tone: "Don't worry, aunt, she won't tease me."

Sister-in-law Kong looked worried, touched her head and said: "Mengmeng, listen to your aunt and don't believe that woman's sweet words. She won't be able to do her best to treat you well when she has her own child. What kind of grievances will you suffer in the future?

Just come to your uncle and aunt, they will definitely make the decision for you!"

Meng Meng's rebellious mood broke out, and she slapped Sister-in-law Kong's hand away and said sharply: "Ever since Mom was pregnant with the child, you have said that she is not good here and there is not good there. If you hadn't said so, I would not have quarreled with her and let her go.

Push her to the ground and let her hate me!"

Sister-in-law Kong's expression changed and she scolded sternly: "I am your aunt, how can you speak like this? If Zhou really cared about you, how could she hold a grudge against you for pushing her away? She was hypocritical to you, but you

Protecting yourself everywhere, are you doing this worthy of your own mother who died for you?"

Meng Meng's face became extremely ugly, unable to accept the fact that she had never been truly loved by Zhou Baoer.

A trace of pride flashed in Sister-in-law Kong's eyes, and her tone softened: "Mengmeng, you are your mother's only child. Only your uncle and aunt will really feel sorry for you. As long as you listen to your uncle and aunt carefully and coax your father and grandparents to stay,

Even if that woman gives birth to a boy, she won’t dare to do anything to you!”

Meng Meng's expression changed, and she didn't know whether she heard it or not.

Sister-in-law Kong didn't pay attention, and continued to talk in her ear to sow discord. With this look, it was obvious that she was not really planning for Meng Meng, but was encouraging her to fight with Zhou Baoer's unborn child to compete for the Meng family's wealth.

Today's weather is still unbearably hot, and there are many people coming to celebrate her birthday. The various noisy sounds are intertwined, which makes people feel irritable. So the juniors gave Mrs. Meng birthday gifts and then started the banquet so that the guests could finish eating.

Go home early.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't mind the heat. She sat obediently next to Lin Qiuniang. The small bowl in front of her was filled with various delicacies. She squinted her eyes and ate happily, and her belly was full in no time.

After the dinner was over, the guests left quickly. The Qin family of three did not stay long. After chatting with Zhou Baoer and Meng Xiuran for a while, they returned to the small courtyard and prepared to pack their things and return to Qingshan Village early tomorrow morning.

Originally they could go back in the afternoon, but it was too hot outside and they might have fainted in the sun before they got home. Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang were not afraid of the sun, but they were afraid of Qin Xiaoxiao's heatstroke.

Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't stay at home any longer, so she asked Qin Shan to take her to catch shrimps in the back river. Qin Shan also panicked due to the heat, so he happily took her out.

It stands to reason that on this hot day, the surface of the river has been burned by the sun, and fish and shrimps will hide in the depths, making it impossible to wander in the grass. But when the father and daughter got into the water, the fish and shrimps were like headless flies.

Jump into their arms.

Such a spectacle not only attracted people enjoying the coolness by the river, but also attracted the cats in the corner, causing them to jump into the water like dumplings and surround the Qin family father and daughter to catch fish and shrimps.

Someone curiously asked Qin Shan: "Did you sprinkle anything into the water?"

Qin Shan shook his head and pretended to be puzzled: "It's probably because of the abnormal weather that these fish and shrimps were confused. Whatever, let's catch them quickly. It's serious to catch more and go back to drink."

Others couldn't think of a reason, so they could only accept Qin Shan's argument. For example, when women go to the river to wash vegetables and clothes in the morning, there will also be fish and shrimps vying to jump into the water. It's really embarrassing to think about it right now.

The weather is causing trouble.

There were a lot of fish and shrimps in the river. In a short time, Qin Shan caught a bucket full, more than yesterday morning. In order to prevent fish and shrimps from jumping out, he also covered it with a circle of water plants, but at least they didn't let them out.

They were burned to death by the sun.

"Dad, let's go back quickly and let mom fry these fish and shrimp until they are delicious!" Qin Xiaoxiao was so happy that she couldn't lift the bucket even with all her strength, so she had to return the bucket to Qin Shan.

"Let's go home!" Qin Shan patted the back of his daughter's head, holding the bucket in one hand and holding his daughter in the other as he walked back happily.

When we walked to the corner of the alley, there were some old ladies sitting under a tree chatting. The father and daughter didn't pay attention at first, they just listened and stopped involuntarily.

"That daughter-in-law is so pitiful. She beat her own mother to death. She finally grew up under the oppression of her stepmother, and then she was sold by the vicious stepmother. What a crime!"

"Oh, it's not a sin. Although the seller is the Meng family from Osmanthus Alley in front of me, the second son of the Meng family is a lame, and the daughter-in-law who died in childbirth left a daughter behind. It's not a good match."

"It's definitely not a good match. If this is a good match, how can he allow his daughter-in-law to push her daughter-in-law to the ground when she is about to give birth? Maybe it will kill two people!"

"I don't know what's going on, whether the Zhou family can survive this. When I was passing by the Meng family, I saw several doctors coming in."

"..."

Hearing this, Qin Shan's expression changed, and he walked quickly to several ladies and asked anxiously: "Is what you are talking about really the Meng family in Osmanthus Alley? The daughter-in-law of that family is Zhou Baoer, and the man is Meng Xiuran?"

Qin Shan often ran to the small courtyard. Several aunts also lived nearby. They had some impressions of him and knew that he was familiar with the Meng family. They all responded quickly: "It's the Meng family you know. You don't know that something big happened in his family."

Already?"

broken!

Qin Shan didn't care to respond and pulled Qin Xiaoxiao and ran home.

Qin Xiaoxiao also knew that something serious was going on. She couldn't sprint quickly with her calves, so she hurriedly said to Qin Shan: "Dad, you go home first, I will go by myself."
Chapter completed!
