Chapter 80 The Feud with the Meng Family

“When our father was separated from the Meng family by our grandfather, he was only five years old, about the same age as Xiao Qi.”

As Meng Laoda spoke, he gestured, then seemed to remember that Xiao Qi hadn't been home for the past two days, and smoothly changed the subject, asking Meng Jiu, "Why hasn't Xiao Qi come back yet? Your sister-in-law and I miss her."

The elderly woman, who was engrossed in watching TV, turned around and echoed, "Yes, I miss her."

Meng Jiu turned her head and said, "You do your thing."

The old lady turned her head and continued watching TV.

Meng Jiu urged his older brother, who was over eighty years old, "Can you stop panting? Just say it all in one breath."

After thinking for a while, Meng Laoda continued, "Our great-grandfather was the second son of the Meng family's direct line. It is said that he was quite talented. Perhaps because of this, he was always entrusted with handling matters. Later, unfortunately, he had an accident and passed away."

The second branch consisted of only my grandfather and my great-aunt, a brother and sister. Unfortunately, neither of them had the talent to carry on the Meng family tradition. Lacking talent and without my great-grandfather's protection, you can imagine what their situation was like in the Meng family. They didn't appreciate at all the hard work my great-grandfather had done for the Meng family. Later, things got even worse. My great-aunt was beautiful, and they wanted to use her for a marriage alliance.

How could our grandfather possibly agree? This was his only younger sister. But they were isolated and helpless; no one in the Meng family cared about the thoughts of two talentless juniors. In the end, our great-aunt nearly died after banging her head against a pillar to finally annul the marriage. Enraged, our grandfather took our grandmother, father, and great-aunt and left the Meng family. They eventually arrived in Qingzhou, where they met the patriarch of the Yun family who was reclaiming land. He joined them, and that's how Yunmeng Village came to be.”

After finishing his sentence, Meng Laoda instructed Meng Jiu, "The Meng family lives in the Northwest, quite far from here. They've had absolutely no connection to us for a long time. So, you only need to know this; there's no need to tell anyone else. Got it?"

"What do you mean by 'completely unrelated'?" Meng Jiu glanced at her older brother with displeasure. "I remember you saying when we were little that your great-aunt never married and died of an illness. Was she really sick, or did she die from that accident?"

Meng Laoda choked, then glared at Meng Jiu, "Even if you were dead from that crash, what could you do? Seek revenge? You're a grandfather now, and you're still so timid. Let me tell you, Xiao Jiu, you better remember this: don't be fooled by our numbers, the Meng family is not someone we can mess with. Before he left, our grandfather repeatedly told our father to sever all ties with the Meng family and never go back. Don't let them know we're here either. In short, we should have absolutely no connection with the Meng family. Got it?"

Meng Jiu knew her older brother was right, so she could only nod and say, "I'll remember."

By the time he got home it was almost 9:30 or 10:00. After thinking about it, he decided to tell his daughter.

I didn't intend to get involved with the Meng family in the Northwest, but I have to be careful.

On the other side, Meng Shulan was practicing boxing in the courtyard.

She spent today practicing her mental techniques and trying to manipulate leaves on the mountain, almost missing her twice-daily fist and foot training.

She wielded simple boxing techniques with such ferocity that even the twenty-year-old pomegranate tree on one side of the courtyard was shaken, causing its leaves to rustle and fall.

"Mom, Grandpa's on the phone."

Meng Shulan stopped her fist technique, grabbed a towel from the clothesline, wiped her sweat, and walked into the house.

After finishing her call with Meng Jiu, she sat on the sofa in a daze for a while before she came to her senses.

Tsk, I didn't beat Meng Wenpei enough today.

Then, recalling her long face and narrow, slightly droopy eyes, he scoffed contemptuously. Could all members of the Meng family be this ugly?
Her great-grandfather was right to separate their branch back then, otherwise the overall appearance of the Meng family would have been dragged down.

She wasn't exactly obsessed with looks, but looking at the Meng family members, there really wasn't anyone as ugly as Meng Wenpei.

So why is she so arrogant when she looks like that?
Just by controlling two clods of dirt?
laugh!
Meng Shulan dismissed it with disdain.

She then put the matter aside and told Xiaoqi to take a bath and go to bed.

After returning and having dinner, Yu Qingge went into seclusion again. If it weren't for the appearance of a jade dragon that shouldn't have been there in Sanqing Mountain today, she wouldn't have come out of seclusion.

A peaceful night.

The next morning, after breakfast, Meng Qi excitedly grabbed some milk and steamed eggs to head to Sanqing Mountain. When Meng Shulan went out with her, she could clearly sense that there were far fewer people in the town.

Yesterday at this time, the breakfast stalls and vendors in Qingshui Town were almost full of people, but today there are only a few people here and there, making it seem very deserted.

She was standing in front of her car when three cars drove by on the road in front of her house. Through the rolled-down car window, she saw Meng Wenpei's long face.

Immediately afterwards, three small pebbles came flying towards her.

She reacted quickly, opening her left and right hands to grab a pebble each, while the third pebble was caught by Xiao Qi, who was standing next to her, who jumped up and grabbed it.

Then, the mother and daughter moved in perfect unison and with remarkable coordination, throwing the stones in their hands at the car that had just passed by.

With a sharp crack, the rear windshield of the black SUV was shattered by three stones, then broke into pieces.

The car, which was in motion, was suddenly slammed on the brakes, and with a screeching sound from the friction of the tires against the ground, the car came to a stop in the middle of the street.

Meng Shulan walked forward slowly, but before she could reach the car, the accelerator was suddenly pressed and the car shot forward.

Meng Shulan curled her lip in disdain. If she didn't have the guts, why would she pick a fight? What's wrong with her?
She returned to her car and drove Xiaoqi to Sanqing Mountain.

Lin Qingquan was already waiting for them at the entrance of the camp.

"Can I come up the mountain with you today?"

"can."

Qingge has gone into seclusion and won't be coming today, so Lin Qingquan can go up without any problem.

Xiao Qi skipped and hopped up the mountain carrying milk and steamed egg custard, while Meng Shulan and Lin Qingquan walked leisurely behind her.

"Xiao Long, Xiao Long, come up for dinner."

Xiao Qi climbed to the top of the mountain, lay on the cliff above Jiaolongtan, and shouted down.

The lake water rippled, with waves slowly spreading upwards from below. After a short while, there was a splash, and a small white dragon suddenly leaped out of the water, roared at the sky with its mouth wide open, and then flew from the water to the cliff wall in a flash. It happily pounced into Xiao Qi's arms, knocking her backwards.

"You idiot!"

Xiao Qi's clothes were half-wet from the water on its body, and she deeply felt that raising a creature was really not easy.

This also made her realize the hardship her mother and grandfather endured raising her for five years.

"Let's eat first, let's eat!"

As Xiaoqi took the steamed egg custard out of the bag, she reminded him every day, "Remember, you can only fly up when I call you. You can't fly up when anyone else calls you. Be smart, you idiot."

Then he sighed, "You're so silly, what would you do if someone took you away?"

What she didn't know was that the Jade Dragon cub was born with the ability to distinguish between good and evil, and it would never be as friendly as this to those who harbored malice towards it.

Today's event ended early once again.

Starting tomorrow, I will try to post both chapters at noon.
