"What a pity!" Shen Qingzhou sighed.
"No problem! This is already very good. My mother wouldn't blame me if she knew.” Meng Xiaoxi was quite content, "Brother Shen, it's all thanks to you this time."
"No need to thank me. You should show appreciation for your second uncle too, right?” Shen Qingzhou asked him.
He is referring to the village chief, Meng Fengchun.
"Yeah! Wait a couple of days, and I'll buy something and send it over.”
Although he always emphasizes that it's part of his job, these two delays have wasted so much of his time, and he still has farm work to do at home.
"And your cousin, if she finds out about this, she might even blame you."
"I can't manage that much." Meng Xiaoxi pressed his fingers to his forehead, a wave of fatigue washing over him. "Who told her to be so bad at judging people?"
Shen Qingzhou leaned close to him, stroked his hair, and rubbed his ear, "You've had a long day, get some rest early!"
"Yeah! You too.”
After the two of them finished washing up, they each went to rest.
Whatever is said will come true. By noon the next day, Meng Xiangru learned about Zhao Xin's situation. Upon further inquiry, she found out that he had been reported to the authorities for stealing his former employer's property and had been taken away, with a verdict even being handed down on the spot.
In an instant, she felt like the sky was falling. The grand mansion she had longed for and the engagement she had waited for so long were all gone in the blink of an eye. Moreover, she hadn't dared to tell her family that their relationship had become quite intimate.
After lunch, Meng Xiaoxi was about to go check the fields. He had woken up late today and hadn't gone in the morning. For the past two days, it had been Uncle Yao and his son doing the work.
Meng Xiangru, with a fierce demeanor, blocked him at the door, tears streaming down her face: "Meng Xiaoxi! Did I owe you money in my past life or kill your entire family? Why do you always target our family?”
"Your family's long-term workers dare to hit my family at will! You say you want to take back the few acres of land you lent me, and now you want to take it back! And Zhao Xin, he was already dismissed by you, right? But you still won't let him go, wanting to eliminate him completely! Are you trying to get me killed too? You butcher!”
After the last argument, the two families had been ignoring each other, and Meng Xiaoxi was enjoying the peace. But now that this incident has happened, they have started going crazy again.
So annoying.
"What do you mean by 'get you killed too'? I didn't kill him!” Meng Xiaoxi said helplessly, "Also, Second Sister, lower your voice a bit. Are you afraid others don't know about your relationship?"
Meng Xiangru was momentarily taken aback by his words, but soon understood, pushed him aside, and squeezed herself through the door.
She sobbed, "Although he was a bit lazy when he was at your house, he has been diligent these past few months. He said he was working hard to save money to buy a house, and once he buys it, he'll come to our house to propose."
"He never hit or scolded me, and he treated people kindly, anyway, he's better than that big guy in your family now! Don't you want me to live well? Took your stuff, just let him return it, right? How could you go this far, Xiaoxi!"
Meng Xiaoxi was almost speechless: "Second Sister! Then do you know that most of the money he used to buy the house was stolen? If you do something wrong, you have to accept the consequences. I don't think I've gone too far. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame your poor judgment and inability to read people, right?”
"You—" Meng Xiangru choked. She knew that this cousin was different from before, impervious to persuasion.
"Also, you don't know Zhao Xin. He flirts with others everywhere, and his kindness towards you might just be a facade. You're here with your one-sided affection, but who knows how many dirty thoughts he has behind your back!"
At the very least, he had touched her, and even gone further. Meng Xiaoxi thought of this and couldn't help but feel disgusted again.
"Don't stir up trouble!" Meng Xiangru started throwing a tantrum: "I don't care! This matter cannot just end like this! It was almost settled, so how am I supposed to explain this to my parents now? Anyway, you have to give me an explanation today!”
"How you explain it is your own business!" Shen Qingzhou couldn't take it anymore. He had originally been holed up in his room, not wanting to confront her directly, but who knew she wasn't done yet!
He sneered, "Want an explanation? Helping you eliminate potential threats in advance, and you don't even thank me. What more do you want me to explain?”
"The person who commits the crime will eventually face justice. Just think about it, if this happens after getting married, wouldn't you be living as a widow? If you were to have children after that, wouldn't it be even more tragic?”
"You, you are being unreasonable!"
As soon as Meng Xiangru saw him, her momentum immediately weakened.
"Think whatever you want, but the matter is already settled. If your feelings are truly deep, then you might as well go into exile with him and take care of him." Shen Qingzhou sincerely suggested.
"Also!" Don't just stand there! Get out of my way!"
Finally, it's quiet.
After the person left, Meng Xiaoxi sincerely said, "Brother Shen is still impressive; she doesn't even regard me as a threat."
"That's because you used to be so accommodating. Most people will take advantage of you if you let them, so don't be too soft-tempered. Since ancient times, good people have been bullied, and good horses have been ridden."
Meng Xiaoxi was a bit distracted and suddenly recalled the scene he accidentally saw on his phone that day. His cheeks burned with a "whoosh", "You, you were the one being ridden!"
Shen Qingzhou was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly laughed and leaned close to his ear, saying, "It's not impossible."
