Chapter Seventy-Three: A Lifetime of Honor and Disgrace
Meng Hongxian was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, he just wanted to cultivate the missing father-son relationship with Huai'an, but he was discouraged by the old lady's phone call.
He couldn't sleep, Pan Lanfang didn't dare to sleep, the two gossiped a few words, he accidentally leaked the matter, Pan Lanfang's comprehension of some things is extremely low, but some things have an extraordinary ability to understand, she only listened to a few words, she understood the old lady's thoughts, and responded calmly: "What my mother said makes sense, we have raised him for more than 20 years, and we are worthy of him, there is nothing to be ashamed of." ”
Meng Hongxian was very surprised: "You personally brought him up, why don't you have any feelings for him?"
"It's a task and a responsibility for me to take him, but he wasn't born by me, and I can't have feelings. ”
Can this be completely separated?
Meng Hongxian had nothing to say, turned around, and looked at the night in a daze.
When he couldn't sleep, the old lady didn't fall asleep either, she hadn't slept well lately, and her body was always chilling at night, and she didn't want to tell anyone else, especially at this juncture, let alone say it.
It's not because she's afraid that others will worry about it, but she feels tired, and now she's so tired that she can't breathe, so that she wishes she was sicker, so that she could rest with peace of mind.
In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.
In the past half a month, the Meng family has been doing promotion, looking for new customers, but the effect is not very good, Xuncheng is so big, the more famous the Meng family has before, the more difficult it is to do now.
The only thing that is fortunate is that no one is looking for trouble.
So Huai'an can still stay in the Meng family.
Regarding what Siqing was going to tell him after dawn that day, he didn't want to know, so he didn't ask again, he didn't ask, Siqing just didn't have to answer.
During this time, Siqing had nothing to do, Mr. He was gone, they didn't have to go to class, the kiln factory didn't have a list, they didn't have to go to the kiln factory to study, the porcelain art club didn't dare to open, and they didn't have to go to work.
After autumn, the weather has been bad, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, and the elderly people find it very difficult, and the old lady is reluctant to use the stove at night, and only sits in the spacious place in the front yard during the day to bask in the sun.
As soon as he sat down, someone slowly walked in.
The man was dressed in a red tweed coat, carrying a leather bag, and wearing a white velvet hat, the brim of which was pressed so low that he was only seen clearly when he walked to the old lady.
The old lady sneered twice: "Didn't you say that you will never come back, why are you visiting the office today?"
The person who came also had a cold face, took out a red note from his bag, and pressed it on the small coffee table in front of her: "I'm just here to tell you that I'm getting married." ”
The old lady's eyes glanced at the coffee table, and immediately frowned and stood up: "You want to marry Xiao Qin?"
"Is there anything you can't do?" Meng Siyi raised his face, "I'm just kindly here to inform you, not to ask for your consent, the Meng family and I have nothing to do with each other, this is what you said personally, don't try to take care of me." ”
"Your name and wealth have nothing to do with the Meng family, I won't be greedy for you, but I still take care of the marriage. The old lady angrily struck her crutches and sent the maid to call for someone.
After a while, Pan Lanfang and He hurriedly came over.
He hadn't seen his daughter for a long time, and he was looking forward to it, running like a fly, but when he ran closer, he saw her dressed up in gorgeous clothes, and his heart was so nervous that he didn't dare to go up and speak for a while.
And Meng Si didn't get close to her, he only glanced at her twice, and didn't even smile. This made her even more afraid to step forward, and she held back her stomach and asked for warmth, but she didn't say a word.
But Pan Lanfang spoke first: "Why do you suddenly want to marry Xiao Qin, then Xiao Qin is a dramatist, how can the daughter of the Meng family marry a dramatist, spread it out so that others will think of us?"
"I still care about the reputation of the Meng family. Meng Si also laughed sarcastically, "You guys think about how to live first, don't even be able to eat at that time, you can't even solve the problem of food and clothing, you still want dignity, hum!"
She was angry, but the old lady was extremely displeased, and she continued in a low voice: "I don't need you to worry about it. ”
"Then I don't have to worry about who I'm going to marry!"
"You were born with the surname Meng, this is a fact that you can't change, as long as your surname is Meng, I have the right to interfere in this matter. "The old lady is not going to give in.
"Then I won't be surnamed Meng. Meng Si also immediately raised his eyebrows, "My name is Mingyu now, these two words have nothing to do with the Meng family from head to toe, from the inside to the outside!"
"Don't say that you change your name and surname, even if you change your appearance, you are also the daughter of the Meng family, I said that you are not allowed to marry, but you are not allowed. The old lady was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, and even disdained to reason with her, and this time her attitude was extremely tough.
Meng Siyi is now confident, and he is not to be outdone: "What you said doesn't count!"
Before the words fell, she was suddenly slapped on the face, she was stunned for a moment, covered her face and looked at the old lady, her eyes were immediately full of hatred, and she was ready to move with one hand, and she had the intention of returning it.
He Shi looked so worried that he couldn't care about anything else, so he rushed up and hugged Meng Siyi, pressed her arm with his hand, and pulled her back: "Why are you talking to your grandmother like this?"
"Just because she's my grandmother, I have to be polite?" Meng Siyi pushed He away and dusted off his clothes, "Who stipulated it?"
"This ...... This is the basic etiquette......"
"Don't press me with your antique rules, I'll only reason with people who are good to me. Meng Siyi's face was still hot and painful, and his anger rushed upward, "I was supposed to have a good news to you today, but you have such an attitude, I shouldn't have come if I had known!"
He Shi stretched out his hand to hold her, and after seeing her stop, he immediately let go, took a step back, and said seriously: "Daughter, you heard my mother say that my mother supported you in everything you did before, but marriage is really not possible, how many worlds have you seen, is the road you walking as much salt as the three of us eat, then Boss Xiao is definitely not a good person, if you two are good, I can still agree, but you can't marry him." ”
The three people in her words were naturally her, the old lady and Pan Lanfang, but Pan Lanfang thought of her daughter Meng Siru, and lowered her head a little weakly, secretly wondering if she had eaten this salt for nothing?
Meng Siyi glanced at him coldly: "You haven't even seen him, so you know that he is not a good person, and one or two have long eyes?"
"We haven't seen it but we've heard of it, he has the ability, but most of this little white face is not responsible, he can only share the blessings, not the same suffering, if the two of you have a bad time in the future, he can't keep you and leave you and run away, what will you do at that time?"
"It's all speculation, and you still want to convince me like this?" Meng Si also heard He Shi slandering Xiao Qin word by word, and looked at her eyes unfriendly, "Don't talk about these reasons, to put it mildly, I'm afraid that I will embarrass you, hmph, I eat and drink spicy food now, not much more comfortable than yours, I don't think the Meng family is dragging me back, don't say that Xiao Qin is not that kind of person at all, even if it is, I can also pack a ticket, just with our current reputation, there will be no time of trouble in this life." ”
"Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't talk so early. When the old lady heard this, she suddenly laughed.
Meng Si also listened to her as if he had touched his head, and unconsciously became even more angry, and shouted at her: "You curse me?"
"I didn't curse you, I just gave you some life experience, the moon is full and the moon is lost, and all the words can't be too full. ”
"Do I need your experience?"
"You can not listen, but with me, you just can't marry Xiao Qin. The old lady looked at her squarely and took the post on the case, "I'm still here, your father is still there, the Meng family hasn't been defeated, now you look down on the Meng family, it's too early, if you don't do it yourself, you try to hold this wedding in Xuncheng, I want to see if your marriage can be completed!"
"You ......" Meng Si was also annoyed and angry, she was ready to quarrel, she didn't think she would have the upper hand, but she was not ready to get married, if the Meng family really came forward to prevent the wedding, she would lose more than she would gain by coming today.
She was so angry and angry that her tongue was knotted for a while, and after a long pause, she squeezed out two words with a flushed face: "You...... Dare!"
The old lady was more confident than her at this time, and responded lightly: "I should say it, you dare!"
After that, with the strength of both hands, the red post fell in half and a half in front of the two of them.
The meaning of the shouting made Meng Siyi's aura disappear, she couldn't be domineering, turned all her anger into scolding, and raised her hand in the flying confetti: "Old guy, I'll fight with you." ”
But listening to the "snap", the slap she wanted to return just now was thrown over before the confetti hit the ground.
Pan Lanfang and He Shi were stunned, and her palms were numb, and she was stunned for a while.
Soon came back to her senses, looking at the old lady's green face, she trembled slightly and said, "Who called you...... I just hit me, I ...... I didn't make a mistake, you can't hit me, I didn't use my strength, I just came back...... That's fair. ”
After saying that, he picked up the hat that he had dropped when he pushed and pulled before, put it on absentmindedly, and hurriedly ran out.
"Stop!" the old woman's voice became sharp with extreme irritation.
As soon as her feet softened, she unconsciously stopped, leaned against the door, and slowly turned back.
And the old lady's eyes were cold, like a bayonet: "I repeat, if you dare to marry that kid, you can try it!"
She was annoyed again, that little bit of fear and regret was gone, clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and said word by word: "I have long been his person." ”
Walking out again, this time the righteousness of walking was awe-inspiring, and suddenly there was a noise behind her, someone yelled, and she didn't look back.
After leaving the gate of the Meng family, he turned a corner, and suddenly heard He chasing him out, shouting loudly from behind: "Siyi, come back quickly, your grandmother is not good!"
She turned around: "What did you say?"
"Oh, she'...... She had just fallen suddenly, and then it seemed like ...... It's out of gas, you should come back quickly. He ran to her as he spoke, pulling her to go back.
She broke free of He's hand, held her head high and asked, "So what, why should I go back?"
He Shi's hand fell short, almost slipped, finally stood firm, and looked at her strangely: "What are you talking about, your grandmother, out of breath, dead!"
"Yes, I heard that, but, so what, what does it have to do with me, why should I go back?"
"You ......" He was suddenly speechless, and she realized that she didn't seem to know her daughter anymore.
And she took advantage of He's froze to snort coldly and turned to leave.
That night, the Meng family was mourned.
When the coffin is closed, the good and evil, honor and disgrace of Mrs. Meng's life will be turned to dust.
She didn't have time to leave a word, but Meng Hongxian remembered that she always liked to say recently that as long as she still had a breath, nothing was allowed......
Perhaps people have a premonition of their own death, and they have a premonition that time is short, and it is inevitable that they will talk about life and death, so that they can get used to it and be less afraid.
Siren has passed away, no one really involves the departure of the old lady with Meng Siyi, Meng Hongxian didn't go to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, he didn't bother to care about that daughter, and even, who she wanted to marry, he didn't bother to interfere.
However, the day of the funeral collided with Meng Siyi's wedding date.
