I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 49 The Rat's Nest (Third Update)

Meng Zichen finished his business relatively quickly.

He had his eye on the secondhand minivan for a while. It was priced at 10,000 yuan, but he managed to haggle it down by 2,000 yuan and finally got it for 8,000 yuan.

Since it was already past 5 p.m., the paperwork couldn't be completed that day. The repair shop owner was also quite familiar with Meng Zichen, since he had bought his dilapidated van, which was about to be scrapped, from there.

So after paying him, I told him to drive the car away first, and we agreed that he would come back in three days to complete the formalities.

This time, the two didn't leave the two little ones behind. When they went to the KFC to pick them up, they saw a boy who was about half a year old sitting with them. The three of them seemed to be getting along quite well.

"Wow, you've made friends?"

Meng Shubing jokingly said this briefly, then nodded to Xiao Yinuo. Because of time constraints, he led the two out of the car and hurried home.

Things are different now than before. If we encounter demons on the way back, it will be troublesome in the dark.

They needed to return to Yunmeng Village before it got completely dark.

Meng Qi was still thinking about the pink-eyed monster on Green Ivy Mountain.

"Uncle, Green Ivy Mountain."

"Sweetie Qi, we won't go today. Your uncle will go with you tomorrow during the day."

The sun is almost setting, and it will be dark by the time we reach Green Vine Mountain. We still don't know where that thing is or what it is. What if there is danger?
However, Meng Ziyang's performance today made Meng Shubing and Meng Zichen realize that they were both terrible at the game.

Forget about Xiao Qi; her father is an outcast, so they can't be compared.

But Ziyang, this little brat, is a native of the Meng family. How could he be so wrong? Shouldn't martial arts training start from a young age?
Meng Shubing is alright. He's interested in this, so he's thinking of asking his uncle and brother-in-law when he gets home. If he can still practice, he'll definitely put in a lot of hard work.

Not only that, he also wanted to bring his son Yanxu along.

Didn't Lin Qingquan say that these monsters appeared out of nowhere, but it's hard to say when they can be completely eliminated or disappear?

Relying on yourself is worse than relying on anyone else; it's always safest to have some real skills of your own.

Meng Zichen, on the other hand, was thinking that he was too old to train and wouldn't be able to achieve much, so it would be better to let his son Pidan train with Ziyang and Xiaoqi.

He thought it was a good idea.

When I mentioned it to Meng Shubing on the way, Meng Shubing said he was lazy.

Two adults were talking in front, while two children were asleep, snuggled together behind them.

As we passed Green Vine Mountain, it indeed grew dark.

Because of Xiao Qi's earlier reminder, Meng Shubing couldn't help but stick his head out of the car window and look up at the mountain.

He didn’t know if it was his imagination, but on the lush and green top of Green Vine Mountain, it really did seem like there was something standing there. He couldn’t see if the eyes were pink, but he could vaguely see two big ears on the top of the head.

Meng Shubing:
Was he dazzled?

Meng Shubing rubbed his eyes, but by the time he tried to look again, the car had already passed by.

He twisted his neck to look back, as if no one was chasing him.

"Grandpa, what did you see?"

Meng Zichen became a little nervous when she saw him like this. They encountered a rat spirit on the way there, and there was no meat left in the car on the way back. It was impossible for them to encounter a monster again, right?

So, aren't they a bit unlucky in this respect?
"I didn't see it clearly, I don't know if it was real." Meng Shubing was genuinely unsure. He felt that it was impossible to see from such a distance, so the head with the big ears he saw earlier was most likely a hallucination.

It was caused by Xiao Qi's words.

There were hardly any vehicles on the road at this time. After all, things are not safe now, and people try not to go out after dark.

Meng Zichen drove his newly bought van at breakneck speed, returning to Yunmeng Village in less than half an hour.

He drove directly to Ninth Grandfather's house.

The money from today's sales can't even reach my great-aunt, because her bank card can receive unlimited payments, but it can't transfer unlimited amounts.

The daily limit is 150,000, so he has to go to the bank to re-register before he can transfer the money.

Meng Shubing's money is the same.

The two parked the car at the entrance, took the two sleeping little ones out of the back seat, and went into the yard one after the other.

"Uncle, give me one more piece, just one, I only need one piece, really."

Meng Jiu was cooking in the kitchen, and Meng Shulei followed him like a leech, pleading with a fawning face, "It's the weekend tomorrow, and Xiao Jie is coming back this afternoon. Studying is mentally taxing, so I thought I'd make her something nice to nourish her."

With a "smack," Meng Jiu slammed the knife in her hand onto the cutting board, looked up at Meng Shulei with a deep gaze, and said, "She works hard on her brain when she studies, and Zijun is also in high school. Why don't you say you'd give him some extra help? Zhou Xiaojie has nothing to do with you, but Meng Zijun is your own grandson!"

He's a worthless scoundrel, completely infatuated with a woman, showering his stepdaughter with affection while ignoring his son and grandson.

If he hadn't mentioned Zhou Xiaojie, Meng Jiu might have considered giving him another piece of beef, but now that he has, there's absolutely no chance.

"Get the hell out of here! If you bastard say another word, I'll break your legs."

Seeing that Meng Jiu was angry, Meng Shulei dared not plead any further. He quickly turned and walked out, muttering to himself, "Xiao Jie is my daughter now, how can you say it's not related?"

He muttered very softly, just so Meng Jiu wouldn't hear him, but he was already very dissatisfied.

His two unfilial sons never buy him anything or give him money during holidays, and they never even make a phone call. It's as if they've cut off all ties with him.

They've all treated him like this, so why should he still care about his grandson?
“Hey, second brother, if our village committee is giving out awards this year, I’d give you the Best Stepfather Award! Seriously, I’ll get mad at anyone who doesn’t.”

Meng Shulei's face immediately turned ugly. He was so angry with his uncle that he didn't notice when this bastard came in.

Meng Shulan glanced at Meng Shulei and explained to Meng Shubing, "After you left, your uncle divided the beef, five jin for each family, the same amount. But this afternoon, your second brother came running over saying his family got less and kept pestering your uncle for another piece. It hasn't even been a few hours, and he's already asking for more."

"If you're not going to give it to me, then you're not going to give it to me. Why say so much?"

Meng Shulei glanced at Meng Shulan unhappily.

Meng Shulan laughed in anger. She glared at Meng Shulei and said, "You complain about me when you're dividing up my family's things? Fine, Meng Shulei, remember this: from now on, you won't get a share of anything my family divides up!"

After saying that, Meng Shulan picked up Xiao Qi and turned to go into the house.

Having made a fool of himself, Meng Shulei slunk away.

"Uncle, where is Lin Qingquan?"

Meng Shubing wanted to ask about martial arts training, but he couldn't see anyone in the entire courtyard.

"Didn't you encounter the rat demon on your way to Qingzhou this afternoon? He was picked up by Captain Xia's men then. Later, they called Shulan and said they followed the clues and found a rat's nest. It seems to be the offspring of a rat demon and a local rat. I heard they're quite big. We have to wipe them out, otherwise they'll become a rat infestation when it gets hot. After all, these things reproduce so easily!"

Good night, see you tomorrow!
