Chapter 629 - 610: Lin and Mei

The bride and groom rarely get to rest for two days, so they should stay home and spend time with family.

Lin Yinghui could only return helplessly.

At noon, Brother Junzi brought the godfather and godmother over.

It’s rare for the two families to be together. Lin Wan and Mom prepared a big table full of delicious dishes.

Midway through the drinks, the godfather hugged Han Yi’s shoulder and said, "Nephew, don’t worry. No matter where you are, you must acknowledge me as your uncle."

Han Yi took a sip of wine and looked at Mei Shuqing, "Do you want me to call you Uncle, or do you want me to call you Dad?"

Mei Shuqing was surprised, then laughed heartily, "Call me Dad, Dad sounds good, I love to hear it."

"Old fellow who loves taking advantage," Lin Guozhi smiled and said, "Even if you’re called Dad, it’s just honorary. I’m the real father."

"Old Lin, I’m not arguing with you about this, but I tell you, compared to the two of us, I’m still closer."

"That’s not necessarily."

In the living room, the two elder men faced each other like children.

Liang Qian was in the kitchen with Liang Hongmei, sighed and said, "You know my big brother is so unreliable, all these years, no hint reached our family. And my mother-in-law hides things so tightly."

"Every family has its own difficult scriptures. Probably at that time, your mother-in-law didn’t let her son marry a commoner girl. But indeed, this matter hurt Han Yi’s mother very much. Isn’t this ruining a woman’s lifetime?"

"Sigh, isn’t that the truth? I’ve never met Han Yi’s mother, how is she now?"

"She suffered a bit in the past. Little Yi got married when she was quite young, her husband treated her well, but her mother-in-law at home always criticized her for this matter. For half a lifetime she couldn’t lift her head because of it. Little Yi grew up living with his grandma. Fortunately, after Xiao Wan and him got married, her mother-in-law and her family moved out, no longer having to look at her mother-in-law’s face. The family of four is doing well."

"Sigh... Hongmei, this matter happened in our family, I don’t know how to speak about such unpleasant things. When it happened, my father-in-law just mentioned letting the child return home, didn’t even call the child or ask Shuqing to check on what the child thinks. My mother-in-law sees the child is doing well and wants the child to return. But I see my sister-in-law is unwilling and acts as if nothing happened, just doing what should be done. I think my sister-in-law is the one hiding things the deepest."

"Sister Qian, I have to say, it’s good if the child isn’t returning. You also know, this time Ah Hui’s matters are quite related to that Mei Langchi. We guess, he’s indirectly making it tough for Xiao Yi. Moreover, there’s one thing I haven’t told Guozhi. It was later told to me by Xiao Wan. During Xiao Wan’s early pregnancy months, she often got knocked down at our doorstep. And once she even ended up in the hospital, later nearly getting handed a packet of medicine by someone who we didn’t know if they were a nurse from the hospital. If I hadn’t been cautious and asked the doctor, there would be no trace of Little Star now."

"Are you saying this matter is related to Langchi too?" Liang Qian was surprised. In her impression, Langchi has always been obedient. Just last year’s divorce issue was handled a bit firmly.

"Xiao Wan said, during that time, that Mei Langchi happened to be in S City. She saw him, maybe you didn’t know, Mei Langchi has a sweetheart in S City. And there’s also a child, probably almost a year old now."

"What?"

Liang Qian’s abrupt voice left the people in the living room stunned, "What’s wrong?"

"Ah... nothing, nothing. Just got burnt by the pot lid," Liang Qian quickly snapped back to her senses.

After saying that, she urgently whispered to Liang Hongmei in inquiry, "Hongmei, is what you’re saying true?"

Liang Hongmei nodded, "That sweetheart is from our village, not much younger than Xiao Wan. Now she’s locked up in a reform center."

"Reform center?"

"Ah Hui’s incident this time is also related to her."

"Are you saying this time’s issue was orchestrated by Langchi and his sweetheart together?"

"Mom, godmother. What happened, where’s the burn? Is it serious?" Lin Wan worriedly, holding the child, entered the kitchen to check.

"It’s nothing, nothing. I was just discussing with your godmother about Mei Langchi and Ye Qing, surprised your godmother."

"Xiao Wan, is what you’re saying true?"

Lin Wan smiled, thinking it might be good for the godfather and godmother to know this matter, "Hm, this matter’s likely closely related to them. Moreover..." She originally planned to reveal Ye Qing and Li Liang’s matter too.

Suddenly remembering Han Yi’s words, she quickly interrupted, thinking it might be better to wait until Ye Qing marries Mei Langchi to reveal it.

It’s unclear whether Ye Qing has been taken out by Mei Langchi yet at this time.

Han Yi said he would let Ye Qing experience a summer and winter in the labor reform team. Presumably, she’s still inside at this moment.

"Moreover, what?"

"Oh... moreover... Ye Qing was originally in the same unit as my brother, and it was she who reported my brother for bribery."

"Sigh... Dad was confused, and his son followed suit," Liang Qian finally understood why Mei Langchi suddenly wanted to divorce Tao Jia.

In the summer, Shuqing said Langchi was reported for extramarital affairs. Some hooligan crime. Scared their Mei family men and quickly suppressed the matter.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.

Shuqing hadn’t seen those photos and always thought someone was jealous, deliberately causing trouble. He still believes it’s fake.

"No wonder Xiao Yi doesn’t want to acknowledge our family, it’s certainly related to this matter, right? Isn’t this chilling the child’s heart? My big brother too, he’s so concerned about Xiao Yi’s matter, he wouldn’t be unaware of this matter, right?"

"We know. After this incident ended, he even came to our house specifically to say the photos from Mei Langchi’s unit circulating were done by Han Yi, specifically questioning about it, and then... coincidentally met my mother-in-law and spoke unfavorably, got kicked by Xiao Yi."

Liang Qian listened to Xiao Wan’s words, enraged, "What kind of people are these? Talking about it, after we got married, we’ve always been here in S City, haven’t lived together much, occasionally meeting during New Year’s festivals, always seemed quite steady. Lived half a lifetime, somewhat a chief, yet still so unreliable."

"Godmother, don’t be angry. We should be the ones angry about this matter," Lin Wan hurriedly helped Liang Qian calm down.

"Oh, I just suddenly found out about these things, somewhat hard to believe. A family for so many years, yet didn’t know their big brother would be like this, another child ignored aside, this child kept around without proper teaching, simply shameful for their Old Mei family."

Liang Qian lived for half a lifetime, couldn’t have imagined the Mei family would be like this, the in-laws’ actions and Old Mei’s family’s actions all made her very displeased.

In the afternoon, while returning, in the car, Liang Qian explained this matter to her sons.

Mei Shuqing disapproved of the elder’s actions, as he reached old age, he even talked with the elder.

Mei Shuping also considered compensation, but Han Yi always treated him like an enemy, making him feel awkward.

Mei Shuqing didn’t agree with the elder brother’s approach, it’s been so many years, neglecting the child, now the person is married with children, living a good life. They wish for their return, how could anyone willingly return to the father who once toyed with the mother?

Moreover, this father knowingly let the son misuse power, secretly causing trouble for Xiao Yi, instead of stopping and teaching, he questioned Xiao Yi. Such a son, if not properly educated would later create trouble, involving the parents.

This Langchi actually has a lover, and there’s even a child.

Father and son are hiding things tightly indeed.

"You two shouldn’t just ignore this matter, let them mess around as much as they want, also Xiao Jun, you better not learn from Langchi, don’t have a kid before marriage."

"It’s okay before marrying, but making trouble outside after marriage, Dad and I won’t spare you"

"Dad, Mom. See, I’m busy with the military every day, where do I have time to find women? Besides, if I marry it will certainly be someone compatible, someone I love. Why marry someone I don’t like, marrying should be like you guys, growing old together."

"You kid, you sure say the right things, if you speak and do them, that’s a good person. Now stop talking nonsense with me."

Mei Lang Jun front, driving, faced the rearview mirror giving a smile to his parents, his hands gripping the steering wheel were already turning white.

...

In the afternoon, Liang Hongmei took Han Yi and his wife to the place she talked about. On Agricultural Road.

It’s around three or four in the afternoon, and the flow of people was indeed quite large. On both sides people were selling vegetables, groceries, clothes, fruits. The location mom talked about was three tiled houses, appeared to be a private residence.

The price was quite cheap, people only wanted 3,000 yuan.
