Chapter 269 Funeral
Chapter 269 Funeral
Dai Shiliang is a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Seeing Meng Ruhua's strong attitude, he felt half a head lower.
"Ruhua, please sit down and let's talk it over."
Dai Shiliang continued his gentle offensive. A strong woman like Meng Ruhua would only respond to soft tactics and not harsh ones.
Over the years, he has relied on showing weakness to become half of Meng Ruhua's family.
However, some things require the addition of good looks to be effective.
When the once handsome Dai Shiliang showed weakness, I felt pity for him. But now when this little old man with sunken cheeks shows weakness, it's disgusting.
Meng Ruhua rolled her eyes and continued to attack steadily, with an attack that was even more fierce than before. She poked Dai Shiliang in the lungs without hesitation.
"If you hadn't set your sights on the Three Meals a Day headquarters and wanted to demolish it to build a shopping mall, would you have offended Wei Shuqing? Who is Wei Shuqing? She's the leader of the Y City catering industry. If you've offended her, isn't it reasonable for her to retaliate now?"
Dai Shiliang sighed: "I don't know what I was thinking. At that time, seeing that Wei Shuqing was uncomfortable with her three meals a day, I wanted to dampen her enthusiasm."
He had been cautious all his life, but somehow he got into such a big mess.
"Right." After all, the two of them had some genuine affection. Seeing Dai Shiliang's distressed expression, Meng Ruhua calmed down. She leaned her head and asked, "Tell me, why is Wei Shuqing renting so many houses for no reason? Is that affordable brand of hers going to expand?"
But that shouldn't be the case. After all, there were shadows of people having dinner near the door curtains of several houses she rented today.
No matter how delicious a restaurant is, it can’t be so densely populated.
"Maybe she's planning to launch a new brand."
Dai Shiliang also attributed Wei Shuqing's high-profile house-rental campaign to the expansion of her business empire.
They thought about it again and again but couldn't figure it out, so they had no choice but to ask their subordinates to investigate.
Meng Ruhua smiled a little now: "If we can really open the store before Wei Shuqing, we can also make a lot of money this time."
Dai Shiliang agreed with this. He was currently short of money.
One morning, Niu Niu received a call from Wang Dong.
Niu Niu had dealt with Wang Dong and others several times in the past and was almost cheated. As a result, he was still scared and subconsciously wanted to hang up the phone.
"Wait!" Wang Dong seemed to see through Niu Niu's intention, "My uncle, your father, passed away last night."
gone?
Niu Niu didn't expect that the last time he heard from King Qi was when Wang Dong came to report the death.
In the previous few confrontations with Wang Dong's family, it was Wei Shuqing who took charge and won a great victory.
This time, Niu Niu wanted to face it alone.
He is already a father and can no longer be a chick under his mother's wings.
After briefly reporting to Wei Shuqing, fearing that Wei Shuqing would be angry if she knew, he took the driver to Wang Dong's house.
Wei Shuqing supported her son's decision. After all, she couldn't protect her son for the rest of his life. At her son's age, he should face many things on his own.
"Then go ahead. Just make your own decisions on everything."
She believed in Niu Niu. Niu Niu was kind, but not without principles. He would never bring back any burden.
When King Qi was alive, he had a very unpleasant relationship with Wang Dong's family.
Every month Niu Niu gave him a sum of alimony. It was not high, but it was more than enough to support an old man like Qi Zhijun.
Qi Zhijun knew that Wang Dong's family was unreliable, so he spent all the money on himself, buying clothes and snacks, and he managed to make himself fat and plump.
But Ruan Xiuyun was not happy about it. She and Wang Dong had to support a student with their meager salaries, and their life was very tight.
They are both eating, but the old man can eat the best meat and fish, while she and Wang Dong eat pickles every day. He is not her own father-in-law, nor her own uncle, so why should she have the right?
So, she cursed under the windowsill every day, and her curses were very unpleasant.
Wang Dong didn't care. After all, he was extremely disappointed with his uncle, the King of Qi.
The most serious conflict occurred when Niu Niu's maintenance fee arrived. The King of Qi happily bought two pounds of pork head and half a pound of liquor.
He, who was once a talented man who was very pretentious about culture, began to enjoy the desire for food in his later years.
The old man was enjoying his drink when Ruan Xiuyun's daughter Xiaocao was hungry. She was born in the Year of the Dog and had a sharp nose, so she could smell the aroma of meat at home immediately.
"Mom, I'm hungry. I want to eat meat too."
Wang Dong and Ruan Xiuyun's salaries were not high, and the living expenses and pocket money they gave her were not much either. Meat and vegetables in school were extremely expensive, and the little girl had little chance to eat meat.
She was just in high school, a child, at the age of being greedy, and kept making trouble with Ruan Xiuyun.
As a mother, it is natural to feel sorry for your children.
Ruan Xiuyun looked at the sky outside. It was already past eight o'clock and the shops were closed. Even if she had money, there was nowhere to buy pig's head.
She looked at her daughter, made up her mind, and knocked on Qi Zhijun's door: "Uncle, I want to ask you for some meat."
Asking for meat?
What a shameless guy. He usually makes indirect accusations and is so arrogant when he scolds me openly, but now he knows how to ask for mercy from me.
"No." Qi Zhijun refused bluntly, "I don't even have enough to eat myself!"
He took a bite of meat and a sip of wine. The wine was spicy when it entered his throat, and he couldn't help but let out a "hiss". He felt comfortable all over.
Life should be like this, with wine and meat as songs, and be happy. It is really happy.
Hearing this, Ruan Xiuyun gritted her teeth and cursed all of Qi Zhijun's ancestors in her heart, but she still held her temper for the sake of her child.
"Uncle, it's not Dongzi and I who are greedy, but Xiaocao wants to eat it. Please consider the child's face..."
"What child?" Qi Zhijun's voice became even louder after drinking. "Is your child's surname Qi or Wang? I don't know where your child came from. Who am I to take care of him?"
"You?!" Now, Ruan Xiuyun was unhappy.
No one can insult a mother's child and call him a bastard.
Ruan Xiuyun kicked open the shaky wooden door like a tiger protecting its cubs.
"You old man, what did you say? Say it again?"
After saying that, she didn't say anything else and started pulling the King of Qi's hair.
The King of Qi was not willing to be outdone and pushed her to the ground.
Although he is old, he is still a man after all, and his strength is not comparable to that of a woman like Ruan Xiuyun.
"What are you doing here? Get out of here!"
The King of Qi spat on the ground and said, "What a crazy woman!"
Seeing his mother suffer a loss, Xiaocao ran out after hearing the noise and said, "Mom!"
