Chapter 365

"That shouldn't be the case, right?" Chen Dongzhi said hesitantly, "How could Miss Meng be so stupid after escaping death?"

Zhong Ruyi also nodded in agreement, "I don't think so either, but those people may not give up, and they may even pester Miss Meng."

Unknown to them, Miss Meng Yuzheng of the Meng family was sitting in a private room of the teahouse, waiting for the person who had invited her today.

Mrs. Feng, Aunt Mei and her brother came to the teahouse. As soon as they entered the private room, they saw that the person they wanted to meet had arrived.

The three of them felt a little embarrassed. They were the ones who had made the appointment with her, but in the end they were still keeping her waiting.

Meng Yuzheng sat there without getting up, but just poured each of them a cup of tea after they sat down.

"Tell me, what is it that brought you here today?"

Aunt Mei glanced at Mrs. Feng and saw that she was making the shape of speaking quickly. Then she took a deep breath and stood up.

"Ms. Meng, Miss Meng, I asked my wife to ask you out today to apologize to you... I'm really sorry."

Her eyes were red, but she forced herself to finish her words, "Zhao Cunliang deserves to die, but our Mei family is really sorry for you, for letting such a person do so many evil things in the name of our family..."

Meng Yuzheng didn't look at her. He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and listened quietly to Aunt Mei's words.

At the end, she couldn't help but interrupt, "Did you really not know that he had been using the Feng family's name to help evil people outside?"

She cast a suspicious look at the three people and felt that their words were unbelievable no matter how she listened to them.

Shopkeeper Mei had already stood up when his sister stood up to speak, and he helped explain, "We really didn't know about this. Although Zhao Cunliang had no dealings with our Mei family, he wanted to get close to the Feng family, so he sent many gifts to the prefect's mansion every year. But there were so many people giving gifts, and his gifts were sandwiched in the middle, so no one knew that he was sending them in the name of a distant relative of our Mei family."

He sighed, "If it wasn't for the young master of the Feng family who happened to meet him and asked someone to find out the details, we would not know the wrong things he had done over the years."

Meng Yuzheng stared at them closely and suddenly sneered, "Maybe you are innocent, but I still hate you! Because of Zhao Cunliang's relationship with you, more than a dozen lives of my Meng family have been lost, and I am the only one left!"

"No matter how you admit your mistakes or shirk your responsibilities now, my Meng family will never live again!"

Seeing that the brother and sister were so upset, Mrs. Feng quickly spoke up to smooth things over and change the subject, "Miss Meng, I heard that you recently rented 20 acres of medicinal fields outside the city? I went there to relax before, it's really nice."

Meng Yuzheng looked at her, and the indifference on his face dissipated a little, but he did not respond to her question, "Mrs. Feng, are all the Zhao family members in prison now?"

Mrs. Feng couldn't follow her words and just nodded blankly, "Yes, yes."

"I would like to ask Madam for a favor."

...

After the conversation, Meng Yuzheng left first.

Aunt Mei's eyes were as red as a rabbit's. Seeing that the person was about to walk out of the box, she suddenly stood up and knelt down, "--I'm sorry!"

Following closely, Shopkeeper Mei also knelt down almost at the same time and even kowtowed.

Meng Yuzheng glanced sideways, then walked away with a sneer.

After meeting these people, it’s time to deal with those relatives who are getting too demanding!

Aunt Mei, with red eyes from crying, followed Madam Feng into the carriage. In the carriage, Madam Feng tried to comfort her earnestly.

"Stop crying. Miss Meng is the one who should be crying but she's not. Why are you crying all the time?"

Aunt Mei didn't want to cry either, but for some reason she had been having trouble controlling her emotions lately.

When she thought about the marriage her mother had adopted that had killed so many people, she couldn't sleep or eat, and she recited scriptures all day long for those who had died unjustly.

"I'm just sad. How can people's hearts be so evil?"

She had no impression of Zhao Cunliang. She was not yet born when he moved away, and even her brother did not have a deep impression of him.

My mother explained why she decided to adopt this godparent. It was because she had not gotten pregnant for two years after marriage. She thought that adopting a godparent might help her have a child, so she agreed to the Zhao family's request.

Mrs. Feng also knew the inside story. Not to mention anything else, Miss Meng's two younger sisters were only eleven or twelve years old when they were beaten to death. Her two younger brothers loved reading, so Mr. Meng took the trouble to invite a knowledgeable teacher to teach them how to read and write.

Even Meng Yuzheng herself was brought up in a pampered environment. Mr. Meng would always take her with him when he went out to discuss business, obviously wanting to train this eldest daughter.

But all this was broken. Dozens of lives of the Meng family were killed by villains. Meng Yuzheng endured humiliation for seven years before he got a chance for revenge.

Ugh!

Mrs. Feng sighed heavily, looked at Aunt Mei whose eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying, and stopped trying to comfort her, just letting her cry as much as she wanted.

It was time for the monthly selection of outstanding employees again. Zhong Ruyi and Li Guihua stood in front of everyone, with rare serious expressions on their faces.

"Selecting outstanding employees is a good thing! It is a recognition of everyone's work ability! But I also hope that everyone understands that our workshop is a collective. No matter who is selected, it is a good thing. It is a recognition of her work, not because so-and-so has a good relationship with me that I chose her!"

The people below were silent and listened carefully to what Zhong Ruyi said. They knew exactly who the following words were directed at.

It was nothing more than that Li Guihua's sister-in-law was unhappy that Xu Ya had won the Outstanding Employee Award for three consecutive months and gossiped about her behind her back, saying that she and Li Guihua were a family, so why was her sister-in-law always leaning against her?

He said it several times in a sarcastic tone in front of Xu Ya, and after she lightly blocked it, he gritted his teeth in anger, saying that if the Excellence Award was still hers, there must be an inside story.

Somehow these words reached Zhong Ruyi's ears, which led to what she said today.

Finally, among the five outstanding employees called up, Xu Ya was one of them. There is nothing you can do about it. He is just very good at his job. He is careful and capable.

The progress award was given to several other aunts, but not Li Guihua's sister-in-law.

"Come on, move the things in." Zhong Ruyi shouted outside the door.

Soon Chen Dongzhi and Zhong Laosan came in carrying things. The excellent prize was half a piece of cloth, a basket of apples, ten kilograms of rice, and two hundred coins in cash for each person.

The progress award is a basket of apples, five kilograms of rice, and one hundred coins in cash. The prizes are different every month.

After the meeting, the eldest sister-in-law from my mother's family immediately ran to find Li Guihua, but she was still very obedient in front of Li Guihua. She rubbed her hands and asked, "Guihua, do we need anyone in our workshop? I'll ask my sister-in-law from my mother's family to come over."

She was really jealous of the outstanding employee award she could get every month, and thought that if she couldn't do it herself, she would ask her sister-in-law to do it. Her sister-in-law was very efficient at work, and she didn't believe that she couldn't get this award!

Li Guihua didn't even look at her. "Sister-in-law, isn't your mother's home in Dahe Village? It's two hours away from here. Do you want your sister-in-law to start the journey before dawn in the middle of the night?"

"Ah? Doesn't our workshop still have an empty room?" She looked at the room where Ji Jiang's family of three had lived before, "Why don't we let my sister-in-law live in the workshop? We are still family!"
