Chapter 889: Chapter 889: Scumbag Brother and Scumbag Father, Get Lost (35)

Yaan Huai’s future lies in obtaining a scholarly title, but if entwined with such people, it will surely be detrimental for him.

Upon hearing this, Qiann Yan felt a bit guilty: "I didn’t think it through."

"Doing this isn’t difficult; as long as this isn’t orchestrated by you, if someone voluntarily acts upon hearing the news, then it’s unrelated to you."

Qiann Yan thought of Meng Chongxi’s recent attitude; even though she had driven away the matchmaker, Meng Chongxi’s gaze remained cold, as if she was bound to face certain trouble.

Recently, the father and son frequently went to town, returning in better spirits, with faint traces of alcohol, clearly having indulged in good food.

She hadn’t paid much attention, thinking she could resolve the matters herself.

If Meng Chongxi truly took a lot of silver from Landlord Liu and splurged it ahead of time, he’ll be the one repaying the debt in the future.

Landlord Liu isn’t a righteous man; what fate Meng Chongxi will meet, no one can say, but certainly not a good one.

If someone knows Meng Chongxi has a large sum of silver and isn’t on good terms with his wife, might there be a scheme? Simultaneously, if someone provokes him, suggesting marrying a virtuous wife, would Meng Chongxi consider marrying a better one?

"Do you know if there’s anyone who deceives old widowers for silver?"

Yaan Huai: "Indeed there is. In our village, there’s such a woman. She helps the old widowers by mending clothes or cooking meals, but she doesn’t stay overnight at their homes nor lets them stay at hers. She only loves silver, perhaps thinking of this as a means to earn it. When some old widowers are injured on the mountain, she’ll visit promptly and help with cooking. Everyone knows she’s alone and struggling, so they’ll give her silver; these old widowers, being solitary, give her silver as well."

"Many old widowers wish to marry her, but she does not want to marry anyone, being familiar with them but not particularly close to any."

Qiann Yan was indeed surprised to learn such people exist.

"In that case, just do this..." Qiann Yan said softly.

That day, Meng Chongxi and Wen Ang lazily walked back after filling up on food and drink in town.

Thinking of the silver at hand, Meng Chongxi felt elated. Landlord Liu was truly generous, giving him such a large sum at once.

If he had known that worthless one was valuable, he should have discussed this with Landlord Liu earlier.

Thinking of the days at home, Meng Chongxi’s face darkened. If not for having some silver, these days would truly be unbearable.

"Dad, we’ll have to work again once we’re back," Wen Ang lamented, "When will this life ever end?"

Meng Chongxi, indifferent: "Once Landlord Liu returns from the Capital City, that worthless one’s good days will be over. Once she leaves this house, everything will improve."

Mrs. Zhang was becoming increasingly rebellious, hitting him, showing him her attitude, fiercely urging him to work, or else there’d be no food, which angered him greatly.

Once that worthless one is taken away by Landlord Liu, let’s see if Mrs. Zhang can still be arrogant.

Landlord Liu is not ordinary; the people under him aren’t the gamblers like Boss Huang Xian’s thugs.

He accidentally witnessed the people under Landlord Liu scaling walls and walking on roofs.

He couldn’t believe it, thinking the girl at home could hardly defeat such skilled fighters.

Just wait, once Landlord Liu returns, whether she goes to the Landlord Mansion or not, she’ll have to.

"One should marry a virtuous wife; an unvirtuous wife ruins three generations; such a wife is undesirable..."
