Chapter 135: Jingmo, Guangbai

The capital.

A certain family building.

The sound of knocking on the door rang out.

"Mom, don't open the door," a thin, sallow-faced little boy pulled the woman, stopping her from opening the door.

Yuan Qin pulled her son's hand away, comforting him with insufficient confidence, "It's fine, the neighbors on the left and right are all here, nothing will happen."

After leaving this sentence, she hurried to open the door.

The boy lowered his head, his face full of disappointment.

Another, smaller little boy grabbed his brother's hand tightly.

His little body was trembling, his immature voice shaking, "Brother, I'm scared."

"It's fine," the first little boy said, "Brother will protect you."

As he spoke, he stared at the direction of the door, his pitch-black, bright eyes burning like flames, full of hatred.

It must be Grandma's family coming to snatch their house!!

Thinking of his mother who couldn't protect them at all, the little boy's eyes were gloomy.

Yuan Qin opened the door, and a woman half a head taller than her bumped into her shoulder and barged into the room.

Her shrewd little eyes scanned the room, greed and heat flashing in the depths of her eyes.

She put her things on the table and said impolitely: "Eldest sister-in-law has good fortune, Mom is worried about you alone, so she brought the whole family to support you."

"... Support, support?" Yuan Qin was stunned, not reacting, "How to support?"

The woman sneered, "How else? We're moving in."

Yuan Qin's face turned pale, and she said in a panic: "Move, move in?"

An old, mean-looking woman walked in, staring at her unkindly, "What? You aren't willing?"

"No, no." Yuan Qin had been beaten and scolded by her family since she was a child, and facing her own mother, she couldn't say half a 'no'.

The slightly older little boy walked over and said: "I don't agree!"

The old woman directly reached out, twisted his ear with great force, and scolded him with a half-threat: "What business is it of yours, you little rabbit! This is my daughter's house, I'll live here if I want to."

She sneered, and slapped the boy's head sideways, slapping him until his ears were buzzing and he couldn't hear clearly.

"Still thinking you're the little young master of the Meng family? Look at your status now, believe it or not, I'll sell you both!"

The other little boy saw his brother being beaten and burst into tears.

"Brother—"

"Don't hit my brother!"

The very timid boy scratched at Grandma's hand, wanting to drag her away, but was kicked aside.

He wailed, causing the neighbors on the left and right to knock on the door bang bang bang.

Concerned voices came into the room.

"Yuan Qin, what happened in the room?"

"Are you okay?"

"Why is Bai Bai crying?"

Meng Guangbai was about to shout at the door, but was covered by the Yuan family.

"Shut up! Or I'll sell you!"

The little boy looked terrified, trembling all over.

Wang Wang Pozi Yuan stared at Yuan Qin with mean eyes, "Speak! Your good neighbors think I'm doing something to you."

Yuan Qin's sister-in-law was afraid the eldest sister-in-law would talk nonsense, and said: "Eldest sister-in-law should think clearly, Meng Jiusi has been taken away, he's afraid he'll never come back, Eldest sister can only rely on her maternal family."

The slightly older boy, Meng Jingmo, was held by the arm and covered by Wang Wang Pozi Yuan, staring at his mother.

He hoped his mother would call for help!

He didn't want them to move in!

When his dad was there, the Yuan family didn't dare to bully them, but after his grandpa and dad were taken away, these people became very scary.

The Yuan family wanted to snatch his house and the money his dad left for them, he knew all of it!

Yuan Qin didn't dare to look at her son's face, nor did she dare to resist her maternal family, walked to the door, and said: "... It's fine, the child bumped into something."

She told a lie.

Hearing this, Meng Jingmo's eyes dimmed, and his heart turned cold inch by inch.

He struggled hard, wanting to save himself, but was held by his own grandma, who pinched his mouth and pinched the soft flesh on his body hard, making little Jingmo's eyes water from pain.

"Mom, what are you doing, Momo is still small..." Yuan Qin stepped forward to stop her, but inadvertently met her eldest son's red eyes, and her feet were fixed in place.

In just a few months, Meng Guangbai wasn't as innocent as before, he knew something, and shrank on the ground crying, calling for his dad in his heart.

The people outside didn't believe Yuan Qin's words, but they couldn't barge into someone else's house.

They looked at each other, seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Yuan Qin, if you need help, call us, we're all here."

"Momo and Xiaobai are both good children, talk things over slowly."

After saying this, Yuan Qin still didn't open the door, only saying: "It's fine, thank you, everyone go to sleep, it's late at night... I won't open the door."

The Meng family's neighbors couldn't say anything more and sighed as they returned to their own homes.

If it weren't for the fact that Meng's wife was good, and Momo and Xiaobai were polite children, they wouldn't bother with Yuan Qin, this dough-like person.

They hadn't seen her being so unclear-headed before!

After the footsteps outside died down and it became completely quiet, Wang Wang Pozi Yuan beat her grandsons, then directly occupied her daughter and son-in-law's room, letting her son and daughter-in-law live in another small room.

Yuan Qin was dumbfounded, asking stutteringly: "Mom, where do I and the children live?"

Wang Wang Pozi Yuan rolled her eyes, "The living room is so big, can't you live there! Oh, I'm so sleepy, if it weren't for you, this dead girl, not being sensible, I wouldn't have stayed up until now, you guys figure out where to sleep."

Meng Jingmo was only six, couldn't resist the adults, but he was smart, and before the evil grandma entered the room, he packed up his and his brother's clothes.

Just as he left the room, he was blocked by his cousin.

Yuan Jin Bao was two years older than Meng Jingmo and was the only seedling in the family, extremely overbearing.

He bumped into Meng Jingmo with force, bumping Meng Jingmo back a few steps, almost sitting on the ground.

"Jin Bao, why are you bumping into Momo." Yuan Qin wasn't very happy in her heart, but she couldn't do anything about her nephew, only saying one sentence.

"This is my house, you are all living under someone else's roof, if you don't want me to kick you out, you have to listen to me!" Yuan Jin Bao said overbearingly.

Yuan Qin looked at her family in disbelief.

Meng Jingmo was like a mad little beast, smashing a fist at Yuan Jin Bao, "This isn't your house! This is my house!"

Taking advantage of Yuan Jin Bao not reacting, he smashed one fist after another, his face full of fierce light.

The Yuan family reacted, saw their only seedling being beaten, grabbed Meng Jingmo, and didn't care at all that this was their own grandson (own nephew), beating Meng Jingmo up.

The scene was chaotic.

Yuan Jin Bao shouted a few times, hating it, and fanned the flames, "Hit him, beat him to death! Daring to hit me, Meng Jingmo is dead! I'm going to kick him out and make him a little beggar!"

Several hands hit his body, Meng Jingmo curled his little body, glaring at them with hatred, not saying a word of begging for mercy.

Meng Guangbai saw his brother being beaten and went to pull the adults' hands, "Don't hit my brother, don't hit my brother woo woo woo, Dad, my dad won't let you off when he comes back woo woo woo."

Yuan Qin saw her son being beaten and went to stop them, but was held by the wrist by Yuan's younger brother and thrown aside.

He said: "Sister, if you don't beat them, they won't become useful. Even their own cousin they dare to hit, they really need to be taught. Sister, you don't have a husband anymore, you can only rely on your two sons, if you don't teach them well, it won't work. I know you can't bear it, but we'll do it for you. Don't worry, this is also my own nephew, I'm watching, nothing will happen."

Anyone with a normal brain knew this was nonsense, but Yuan Qin believed it.

She looked at her beaten sons with teary eyes, feeling heartbroken, but didn't step forward again.

Yuan's younger brother curled his lips, cursing Yuan Qin for being stupid in his heart.

He wanted to occupy the Meng family's house, of course he wished the Meng family's two cubs would die, how could he be sincere to them.

They had just moved in, no rush, wait until they were a bit older before doing anything, they could still do some housework for a few years, a profitable business.

Meng Guangbai was also beaten a few times for protecting his brother, the child's face was pale from pain, calling for his mom with a crying voice.

Yuan Qin felt heartbroken and persuaded: "Momo, quickly apologize to your cousin Jin Bao..."

"Pah!" Meng Jingmo's face was swollen, he spat, and looked at Yuan Qin with eyes that no longer had any filial piety, "This is my house, my family name is Meng, not Yuan!"

He protected his brother tightly, swearing that if he had the chance, he would definitely take his brother to find his dad.

Yuan Qin looked at her eldest son's pitch-black eyes, her heart jumped, feeling inexplicably panicked, clearly feeling that something that should be cherished was slipping away.

"Momo," she called out stutteringly.

Meng Jingmo looked away, lowered his head, and endured the brutal beating from his own grandma and aunt.

"Look, his mouth is really hard," Yuan's younger brother said, speaking sarcastic words.

Afraid his mother and wife would beat the two cubs to death, after a while, he finally called a stop, "Fine, time to sleep, have to go to work tomorrow."

After speaking, he glanced at the main room and walked into the small room.

Yuan Jin Bao kicked Meng Jingmo, stepped on his hand, and laughed triumphantly, "Keep being arrogant, daring to hit me, see if I don't beat you to death! From now on this is my house, you'd better tuck your tails, if you provoke me again, I'll kick you out."

Yuan's daughter-in-law didn't think her son was excessive.

Before, the Meng family's conditions were good, the Meng family's two cubs had everything, endless clothes, good-looking toys and notebooks... every time it made her son cry and make a scene, making her family restless, now this was called the wheel of fortune turning.

After the mother and daughter left, Yuan Qin went to help her two bruised sons, but Meng Jingmo brushed her arm away, not letting her touch him, and didn't even look at her.

Compared to his mom, Meng Guangbai was closer to his brother, and seeing his brother like this, he didn't let her help either.

Yuan Qin felt aggrieved, sitting on the ground and shedding tears, how could her family become like this?

She knew her personality was weak and she couldn't protect her children, but, she was also doing it for their own good.

Meng Jingmo looked at her with eyes like burning flames, word by word: "I, am, not, wrong! This is my house, the family name is Meng, not Yuan."

Yuan Qin reached out to hit him, but Meng Guangbai blocked his brother, his little milky voice trembling, "Don't hit brother, hit me instead."

Meng Jingmo pulled his brother back and ignored Yuan Qin directly.

He hated everyone in the Yuan family!

And he couldn't like his mom anymore!

Yuan Qin felt aggrieved, sitting on the ground and shedding tears, how could her family become like this?

She knew her personality was weak and she couldn't protect her children, but, she was also doing it for their own good.

That night.

Meng Jiusi didn't sleep peacefully, he dreamed of his two sons—

After he was taken away, his wife was manipulated by her maternal family, letting the Yuan family move in. The Yuan family occupied his house and property, and also abused his two sons, not giving them food or drink, and not letting them go to school.

His children, the younger one died of fever, his stomach empty before death, hungry until only a layer of skin remained, and was discarded in the deep mountains to feed wolves by the Yuan family; the older one burned the house down, then wandered away, dying under a bridge.

Meng Jiusi shouted 'no' in his mouth, his facial expression ferocious, his forehead covered in sweat.

Gu Laoyezi Meng noticed his grandson's abnormality, stepped forward to pat his shoulder, and called softly, "Jiusi? You had a nightmare, wake up quickly."

He didn't know what the child dreamed of, but his face looked so bad.

Meng Jiusi woke up with a start, sat up abruptly, gasping for air.

The scene in the dream flashed through his mind, and his face looked extremely ugly.

"You had a nightmare?" Gu Laoyezi Meng opened his mouth.

Meng Jiusi nodded, "I dreamed of Momo and Xiaobai."

"Daytime thoughts, nighttime dreams. Your wife has a job, and there's a house, as long as she isn't confused, the two children won't have any accidents," Gu Laoyezi Meng persuaded.

Meng Jiusi wiped the sweat from his forehead and gave a bitter smile.

His wife had a weak personality and soft ears, the situation in the dream was extremely likely to happen.

"Gu Laoyezi, with Yuan Qin's personality, I can't rest easy."

Gu Laoyezi Meng thought of his grandson's wife's dough-like personality, his brows furrowed.

That girl was indeed a good girl, but with Jiusi at home, it wasn't a problem, but without Jiusi, she really couldn't support the family.

"Jiusi, go find your brother-in-law, ask him to help inquire about Jingmo and Guangbai's situation. If they are living well, let them follow your wife, if they aren't living well, I'll find a way to have someone send them over."

Afraid his grandson would overthink, he added: "Don't be afraid of owing favors, life is long, Gu Laoyezi and you will repay the favors together."

Meng Jiusi: "Mm."

He got up, washed, fed the pigs, and went into the mountains to dig herbs.

He hadn't gone far when he ran into the twins.

Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao hadn't been up the mountain for a while, and seeing Xingci and the others go up, they followed, excitedly picking wild chicken eggs, and saw Meng Jiusi.

Before they could speak, they found the person waving at them.

The twins were puzzled, holding hands and walking over.

"Are you calling us?" Gu Hangbao asked, raising his head.

Meng Jiusi looked at the two identical faces, realized these were his own nephews, his eyes infinitely soft.

"Can I ask you to do me a favor?"

Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao looked at each other; it was the first time an adult had asked them for a favor, and the brothers puffed out their chests.

"What is it?"

Meng Jiusi said: "I have something to find your dad, can you help me call him over?" ===== CHAPTER 136 =====

Meng Laoyezi thought of his grandson's wife's dough-like temperament, and his brows furrowed tightly.

That girl was indeed a good girl; with Jiu Si at home, there was no problem, but without Jiu Si, she truly couldn't hold up the household.

"Jiu Si, go find your brother-in-law and ask him to help inquire about the situation of Jingmo and Guangbai. If they are doing well, let them follow your wife; if they are not doing well, I will find a way to have someone send them over."

Fearing his grandson would overthink, he added: "Don't be afraid of owing favors; life is still long, and Gu Laoyezi will help you repay the favors you owe."

Meng Jiusi: "Mm."

He got up, finished washing, fed the pigs, and went into the mountains to dig for medicinal herbs.

He hadn't gone far when he ran into the twins.

Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao hadn't been up the mountain for a while. Seeing Xingci and the others going up, they followed along and were excitedly picking wild pheasant eggs when they saw Meng Jiusi.

Before they could speak, they noticed the man beckoning to them.

The twins were puzzled, holding hands as they walked over.

"Are you calling us?" Gu Hangbao asked, tilting his head.

Meng Jiusi looked at the two identical faces, realizing these were his own nephews, and his gaze became incomparably soft.

"Could I please ask you two for a favor?"

Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao looked at each other; it was the first time an adult had asked them for a favor, and the little brothers puffed out their chests and raised their heads.

"What is it?"

Meng Jiusi said: "I have something to find your father about; can you help me call him over?"
