CHAPTER 78: CHAPTER 78: SHE’S NOT EVEN MY DAUGHTER

Sun thought again, Li Baixia didn’t come either, so why should she be afraid?

"Don’t give me this and that. I’m not asking your man, I’m asking you. I gave birth to you and raised you, you ought to repay me. You can give that little hussy a carriage, but can’t give one to your old mother?" Sun became tough again.

"The carriage really wasn’t from me to Yaoyao, it was because Yaoyao helped Baixia with something, and Baixia was thanking her," Meng Zhu said.

Sun had an expression like she wasn’t being fooled, "What help could Meng Yao provide? Could it be that Li Baixia, that scoundrel, has taken a liking to her?"

Meng Zhu was simply at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? They haven’t seen each other for years, how could they be connected?"

"How do you know they haven’t met? That little hussy, she can find a man on her own, what can’t she do? Your man has been successful these years, her man died, it’s not surprising she has her sights set on that. How many men can be like Liu Xia Hui? Although she’s a bit worse for wear these years, you can’t deny, she’s still quite charming, even more attractive than you," Sun said with validity.

"Mom, could you stop!" Meng Zhu frowned, "What kind of mother throws mud on her own daughter like this?"

Sun curled her lips, "What own daughter, she wasn’t born by me."

"But you raised Yaoyao, she calls you mom, that makes her your daughter," Meng Zhu said, "Besides, didn’t you take their silver back then?"

"Ungrateful ingrate, at her core she’s not a member of the Meng Family. If she was, could she be so distant from me?" Sun muttered.

"That’s because you never treated her like a daughter. I am your own daughter, do you feel our relationship is close? In your eyes, it’s always only your son’s family, who cares about the daughter’s life?" Meng Zhu mocked, "Feelings are mutual; if you don’t give, how can you expect others to be good to you?"

"Now your wings have hardened, have they? A married daughter is like splashed water, that’s true, but you are still my daughter. If you are unfilial, I can still go to the government and accuse you, making you pay for it," Sun threatened.

"Why don’t you go accuse me then, see if the County Magistrate will rule that I’m unfilial! During all the festivals, of the food, the wear, you tell me, in all of Shanghua Village, is there any married daughter who brings back more than I do?" Meng Zhu snorted, "If you can find one, I’ll admit to being unfilial."

"Your man Li Baixia can earn, what’s the harm in you giving a bit more to your birth family?" Sun said with her neck stiffened.

"My man toils day and night, worked to the bone. In your eyes, is that just earning for the Meng Family? We have children, have our own family; it’s fine to help the birth family appropriately, but there has to be a limit! Mom, if you’re insistent like this, then in the future, I’ll follow the village’s standards," Meng Zhu’s face grew stern.

Overstep boundaries and get too big for your britches, that’s exactly like her mom.

It’s not a problem to ask for things, but at least be nice to them.

That way, what they give would be more wholeheartedly.

But they are quite good, demanding as if what they ask is a privilege to them.

"Really not giving?" Sun’s tone softened a bit.

"Can’t give," Meng Zhu said.

"How about this, give me some silver, we add some from our household, and buy one ourselves," Sun’s eyes shifted as she spoke.

"Don’t have it," Meng Zhu refused.

Sun started cursing again, but Meng Zhu was tired of listening, "Fine, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back."

"Wait a moment, let me ask you something," Sun quickly called after Meng Zhu.

Meng Zhu was full of displeasure, "Then hurry and ask."

"Don’t you think Meng Yao is acting strangely?" Sun asked.

"Strange what? I think you’re the strange one!" Meng Zhu retorted.

"I just feel she’s different from before, and Zhao Xiaohua too, she’s different from before. I suspect, could they have been possessed by a demon?" Sun said with a mysterious look.

Meng Zhu looked at Sun with a face full of skepticism, "Mom, did you fall and hurt your head?"

So your mind isn’t working right?

"If they’re really possessed by demons, do you think that after you’ve gone over there repeatedly to nitpick, you’d be able to leave unharmed?" Meng Zhu added, "If you have time, better teach your eldest granddaughter, don’t let her go out and be a disgrace at such a young age."

Sun was not convinced, "There’s a lot of people in the village, strong human presence, demons certainly won’t dare to do anything."

"Do you really think demons are ghosts, afraid of yang energy?" Meng Zhu rolled her eyes.

"You really don’t believe it, just watch, they will soon show their true form. Then you’ll know if I’m right or not! You are my daughter, don’t say I don’t care about you, why don’t you bring your children and stay at home for a few days?" Sun said.

Meng Zhu refused, "Go back home to hear Lin’s weird comments? And then give you an excuse to demand this and that? Even if they are demons, I actually prefer staying with them."

Sun was furious, "Go, go, go, hurry and go, when you suffer losses, don’t blame me."

"I’ve suffered losses in your hands all my life, never suffered with others," Meng Zhu tossed back a sentence and turned to leave.

Meng Yao heard the door and quickly came out to meet her, "Mom didn’t make things hard for you, did she?"

Meng Zhu shook her head, "She talks, it’s up to me whether I listen or not. Isn’t it just wanting a carriage? I told her to go ask Li Baixia directly. If she had the guts, she wouldn’t be her. She bullies the weak and fears the strong."

While talking, Meng Zhu further examined Meng Yao, even talking about demons, her mother could really imagine things.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Meng Yao asked.

"She said you’ve been possessed by a demon," Meng Zhu scoffed, "You say, isn’t there ever a peaceful day."

Demon? It’s not that far off.

"If I were a demon, hmm, I’d definitely give them a good torment," Meng Yao laughed.

"Who says otherwise!" Meng Zhu echoed, "Best torment Lin, marry a virtuous wife, she..."

It’s really hard to describe.

Lin, who was mentioned by Meng Zhu, was currently with a man, the man holding silver, which was what Lin had previously schemed from Sun.

"Spending my mother’s silver, you’d better behave, if my mother catches you doing something behind her back, she won’t spare you," Lin said, tidying her clothes.

The man chuckled, "Are you still not assured, these years, besides you, when have I had another?"

"You understand," Lin teased.

"Should I walk you?" the man asked.

"Better not, wouldn’t look good if people see," Lin replied.

"Alright then, you go first, I’ll come later," the man said.

Lin, carrying her bundle, walked towards the Lin Family in high spirits.

That man just now was her sweetheart before marriage, but her family opposed, forcing them apart. Lin married Meng Cheng, but Meng Cheng was good-looking yet useless. Not long after marriage, Lin ran into this man on a visit home, and since then, it became unstoppable.
