These words could be said to have touched Mrs. Meng's heart. She softened her expression and did not shy away from the presence of her second grandson, saying: "Chengxing is still sensible."

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at her second grandson and admonished: "Chengzhang, my grandmother is still saying the same thing. To revive the Meng family, we cannot rely on the strength of one person alone. We need everyone to work together. Your eldest sister is very important to the Meng family." If you have resentment in your heart, how can you think about the Meng family? You don’t need to pay attention to some of her words. "

Meng Chengzhang was particularly disgusted with his elders slandering his eldest sister, and asked: "Since grandma thinks that the eldest sister does not want the Meng family to be good, why should her grandson have to deal with the eldest sister for such a thing?"

He stood up suddenly and continued: "Grandma, you haven't changed. In the past, you thought that your eldest sister was a family-restraining and mourning star. You hated her and treated her badly, but you also thought that her marriage to the Gu family would bring good results. Come to benefit. Now you also think that the elder sister is not good, but you want to get benefits from her and make people repay evil with kindness. How can there be such a good thing in the world? "

The fig leaf was mercilessly lifted by her grandson, and Mrs. Meng became furious: "Chengzhang, all your sages' books have been read into the dog's belly? Who taught you to contradict your elders like this?"

Meng Chengzhang was neither humble nor arrogant: "My grandson is just stating the facts, but my grandmother is unwilling to accept the facts."

Mrs. Meng was furious when she saw him like this: "You unfilial thing, after receiving some benefits from your eldest brother-in-law, you forgot your last name? Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down to reflect!"

This was not the first time that Meng Chengzhang knelt in the ancestral hall. Every time it was his grandmother's problem, but the elders punished him and the younger generation had to obey, so he said: "Grandma, calm down, my grandson will go now." After saying this, he left without looking back. Go, the grandfather and grandson parted ways on bad terms.

Seeing this, Mrs. Meng became even more angry. Even though she punished him by kneeling in the ancestral hall, she didn't feel relieved at all. She said angrily: "The eldest sister is ignorant, and the elder brother is also ignorant. They are all evil obstacles. It is really unfortunate for our family. , let these two evil obstacles be born in the Meng family, disturbing the peace of the family."

Meng Chengxing knew that his father's heart was already biased towards his brother and he did not value him as much as before. Now the only person who loved him in this family was his grandmother. If he wanted to live well in this family, he had to rely on his grandmother. Seeing that his grandmother was so angry, he quickly He comforted her and said, "Grandma, don't be angry. Don't be afraid of getting angry. As the saying goes, with deep love comes great responsibility. My eldest sister was not sensible before. It is for her own good that you will educate her. How could you ever think about it in the second year?" In the eyes of brother and eldest sister, it turned into disgust and friction."

The grandson handed him the steps, and Mrs. Meng also came down the steps and sighed softly: "I'm afraid your eldest sister will resent me for the rest of her life. Your second brother is also influenced by her and has a lot of criticism towards me."

Meng Chengxing said: "Grandma, sooner or later they will understand your good intentions."

Mrs. Meng looked at her grandson with loving eyes and said earnestly: "Chengxing, this time Lingshan Academy recruits students, you must work hard to pass the assessment. There are many famous teachers in the academy. With the guidance of famous teachers, your studies will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. Look at you. Second brother, I was not as good as you before, but with the guidance of a famous teacher, I even became a scholar, and I was still the head of the case."

Meng Chengxing's expression paused. He used to be full of confidence, but he failed the previous assessment of Lingshan Academy, and later he also failed in the academy examination. Now he can no longer be full of confidence in the assessment and scientific examination of Lingshan Academy. There was even an intention to retreat. Perhaps, as his grandmother said, he just lacked the guidance of a famous teacher.

He replied: "My grandson should do his best."

Mrs. Meng nodded with satisfaction. Although the Sun family was not good, it was not without merit. She gave birth to a good grandson. Chengxing has been more well-behaved and sensible than his brothers and sisters since he was a child. Among the several grandchildren, Chengxing is the best. The most caring and filial to her.

Meng Dongyuan didn't know what kind of conflict the three of them had, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to it. He was currently overwhelmed by joy, and he was thinking about whether his wife was carrying a son or a daughter on the way.

Meng Dongyuan lowered his head and glanced at his wife's belly. The smile in his eyes was about to overflow, and even his voice was full of laughter: "Madam, others said you were infertile before. Now it seems that there are other reasons why you are infertile." people."

When his voice fell, Ms. Dong paused. She felt that his words that were implicitly derogatory to others with a sense of superiority were very harsh. She directly took over the problem of being unable to get pregnant in the previous marriage: "Husband, I was indeed in poor health before. It’s difficult to get pregnant, so it’s an unexpected blessing that I’m pregnant now.”

Meng Dongyuan replied: "That proves that their family's feng shui is not good. You and he have not been able to conceive for several years. Now that you are married to me, you got pregnant less than a year after entering the house."

Dong: "..."

She couldn't help but curse in her heart: If the Meng family had good feng shui, could they be demoted from marquis to earl?

Now, the Meng family is in such a state of decline that even the middle-aged family members in the family are leaking and the accounts are uneven. Fortunately, her natal family is just a Qingliu family. The family is not rich and can give her a small dowry. Otherwise, I don’t know whether the Meng family will The idea of ​​​​her dowry.

Originally she was wondering, the Meng family was so poor, her mother-in-law was so old, and her mother-in-law's dowry was also generous, so why didn't she use some dowry to help? After all, the dowry would be reserved for Meng Dongyuan's son. Later, she talked to Meng Dongyuan and learned that her mother-in-law's dowry had been lost by her second brother who died young in a bet.

The mother-in-law doted on her youngest son, and she took care of him again and again to pay off his gambling debts, which made the younger son more and more unscrupulous. Later, it developed to the point where the mother-in-law secretly used the Meng family's money to fill the holes for her youngest son, until she only knew The younger son who was eating, drinking and having fun fell into the water and drowned after getting drunk. The mother-in-law only blamed the people who drank with the younger son, but she did not expect that she was spoiling her son like killing her son. The person who really killed her son was the mother-in-law herself.

Meng Dongyuan didn't notice anything was wrong with her, and continued: "Madam, do you think this baby will be a boy or a girl?"

Dong said quietly: "It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl."

After all, this child was a beam of light that suddenly shone into her life after she was tired of living in the Meng family, making her feel that there was hope for her life. If it was a boy, as long as she treated Chengzhang well and treated Chengzhang as a child. After her own birth, Chengzhang will definitely support her son in the future. If it is a girl, Chengzhang will also protect her. Chengzhang's protection is equivalent to her eldest sister also protecting the child.

Meng Dongyuan said with a smile: "If it's a girl, she will be a beautiful child like her mother. If it's a boy, he will be as knowledgeable as his father, and he will definitely be a talented man in the future."

When Ms. Dong heard this, she couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth and glanced at her husband quickly. The look in her eyes was full of disbelief. What kind of confidence did she have to say something so devoid of self-awareness?

Full of knowledge, just him?

Ms. Dong tried her best to resist the urge to criticize others. It wasn't that she was overconfident, but her husband didn't have as much ink in his stomach as she did. It was no wonder that her husband had been working around for so many years and couldn't even get a decent official position.
