Chapter 885: Chapter 885: Scumbag Brother and Scumbag Father, Get Lost (31)

Meng Chongxi glared at the three women in the house with a displeased face, propped up by Meng Wengan to sit on the edge of the bed, looking like the master of the house.

He didn’t speak, waiting for these rebellious women to admit their mistakes.

Mrs. Zhang was indeed a bit scared, oppressed by Meng Chongxi for a long time, making her feel an innate fear whenever she saw him, unable to muster the courage to resist. Only when Meng Chongxi was lying in bed and unable to move did she not feel pressured.

Xu Yunniang was a bit worried, gently holding onto her belly, looking towards Qiann Yan’s position.

Seeing her sister-in-law calmly surveying the room, she felt a little more at ease, now just waiting for her sister-in-law to make her stance clear.

"Mom, sister-in-law, why are you standing there blankly? Let’s eat."

Qiann Yan grabbed both of them and was about to drag them outside.

Meng Chongxi was furious, slapping the side of the bed forcefully, but to no avail, and shouted, "Stop all of you!"

He glared at Qiann Yan, eyes seemingly spitting fire. It was all because of this rebellious money-draining girl that Wengan lost two fingers and the chance to take the imperial exam.

"Let’s eat." Qiann Yan had no intention of stopping and continued to pull Mrs. Zhang and Xu Yunniang.

With Qiann Yan’s attitude, Xu Yunniang didn’t need any urging; she was already at the table eating. Since her sister-in-law could hold up the household without compromising herself, she naturally followed. Why feel the need to bow down in this family?

These days were the most comfortable and happy she had experienced, even better than at her maiden home.

Mrs. Zhang was still a bit hesitant. Meng Chongxi noticed and said loudly, "Anyone who dares to eat will be kicked out of this house!"

These words made Mrs. Zhang’s legs go weak, but thankfully Qiann Yan was holding her. She whispered in Mrs. Zhang’s ear, "Mom, I can earn money. If this place doesn’t want us, we can move elsewhere."

Mrs. Zhang froze for a moment, suddenly recalling her daughter’s strengths.

With silver in hand and no fear of being robbed, and her daughter having skills, there was no fear of being bullied. Moving elsewhere didn’t seem that hard.

But thinking of Meng Chongxi’s words telling her to leave, she still felt very sad.

After so many years, she had given so much to this family, yet wasn’t it just like Meng Chongxi to say he could kick her out whenever he wanted?

Mrs. Zhang suddenly felt it was all meaningless, and she realized who Meng Wengan took after—it was indeed like father, like son, both ungrateful wolves.

"Dad, do you want to divorce mom?" Qiann Yan asked.

Meng Chongxi was taken aback by the question. Divorce? He never considered that. At his age, he wouldn’t divorce, nor would he discard Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang was fine; it was all this wild girl’s fault. If it weren’t for this wild girl leading her, would Mrs. Zhang defy him?

Meng Chongxi’s expression was unclear and decided it would be better to marry off this wild girl early. This way, no one was causing trouble at home, and he could even get some silver.

It wasn’t selling her off, just arranging a marriage proposal; no one could gossip about it.

Thinking of this, Meng Chongxi didn’t want to fuss anymore and stood up, "Then go ahead and eat."

Qiann Yan pulled Mrs. Zhang back to the seat, urging her to eat, "Mom, do you trust me?"

Mrs. Zhang paused, holding the bowl, and finally nodded.

Besides her daughter, she didn’t know who else she could trust without reservations.

"Then listen to me, do what I tell you to do. If Meng Chongxi tries to hit you, fight back, he can’t beat you now."

Mrs. Zhang was completely at a loss, still thinking if she would have to fight back.

Qiann Yan wasn’t in a hurry; it would be tough to change Mrs. Zhang’s nature in a short time. It was remarkable enough that she wasn’t immediately intimidated by Meng Chongxi and yielded.
