Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 986 - 796: Any Objections_2
"Did Hua Hua get discharged? Come, let Grandpa Three have a look. Where did you get hurt, staying hospitalized for so long?" Chen Haichang called out to Hua Hua as he saw Ye Qing about to take the child upstairs. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Hua Hua glanced at his mother, saw Ye Qing gently putting him down, understood her intention, and ran over to Chen Haichang with a smile, calling out, "Grandpa Three."
Chen Haichang immediately pulled out a few candies from his pocket, teasing Hua Hua.
Finally, Chen Haichang stood up, walked over to Ye Qing, and said, "These days, you’re sure kept busy, Aunt Three-in-law." Then he strode out the door.
It wasn’t about being hardworking; rather, he used the word busy, which made Ye Qing fall into deep thought for a moment.
She couldn’t figure out what Chen Haichang meant by saying this to her today.
A few days ago, Mei Langchi’s gaze always seemed strange when he looked at her. Today, Chen Haichang speaking to her also felt odd. What’s going on?
Since Ye Qing came back, aside from Xie Lingzhi instructing Aunt Wu to start prepping New Year goods and her taking Hua Hua out for a walk, Old Mrs. Mei remained sick in her room and hadn’t come out.
Ye Qing wasn’t aiming to please the old lady right now. She’s aware of what she needs. Despite facing some minor issues recently, it won’t affect her financial prospects. A mere Aunt Wu, she will surely retrieve what’s lost sooner or later.
...
Compared to the Mei Family’s old house, the atmosphere in the Second Brother’s home is much better.
Junzi has been back for two or three days. Initially, Old Mrs. Mei kept insisting he should return, claiming they were both sick and he might never see them again if he didn’t come back.
Frightened, Mei Lang Jun took leave and hurried back, only to find grandma had learned to deceive; Grandpa was actually the one severely injured, whom he’s been caring for by the bedside these past few days.
Today, Mei Langchi was around, so he came back to rest.
Now the family is all gathered, Han Yi and Lin Wan brought Little Star over, and incidentally brought back this Uncle Three here.
The New Year is just days away. Knowing the men have big appetites, Liang Qian specifically prepared a lot of dumpling fillings today, busy making dumplings at home.
"Brother Junzi, a few days ago Sister Xiao Jia’s grandma was sick. Don’t know if she’s discharged yet. Have you gone to check?" Lin Wan asked secretly while making dumplings, careful not to let her godmother overhear. Because recently Sister Xiao Jia’s mom hasn’t been talking much with the godmother, who’s quite upset.
"I knew it right by the second day of getting back. I went there but got shut out; happened to bump into Tao Jia’s dad, who gave me quite a telling-off."
"Got scolded?"
"Yeah, but it’s alright. We soldiers have thick skin. If he feels satisfied scolding, I’ll take it. After all, I did take his daughter." Judging from the situation, he won’t suffer any loss. If scolding relieves him and he can marry off his daughter, it’s all to his benefit.
Lin Wan smiled and shook her head, realizing Brother Junzi and Sister Xiao Jia’s situation isn’t going smoothly yet.
"Will Sister Xiao Jia come home for New Year this year?"
Mei Lang Jun shook his head, "No, she’s avoiding her family."
Lin Wan mouthed an ’oh’, expressing understanding.
Lin Wan should count herself lucky; since Han Yi’s family isn’t affluent, she didn’t face much trouble either.
Han Yi, assisting his wife with dumpling making, had no idea what Lin Wan was thinking. He felt secretly glad: luckily when he married Lin Wan, her father hadn’t returned yet, otherwise he might have found himself like Mei Lang Jun now.
"You guys are too slow, I’m hungry." Sitting leisurely in the living room, Chen Haichang watched TV, yet not forgetting to urge those busy in the dining room. He was just waiting to have dumplings.
"Almost done, Uncle Three. What’s interesting on TV? If there’s nothing, why not help us out?" Mei Lang Jun observed his indifferent demeanor and laughed. He had heard quite a bit about Uncle Three from his parents since returning.
Reporting a burglary at home was Uncle Three’s doing. That issue truly angered Grandpa. The old man went without meals for two consecutive days. It was only on the day Mei Lang Jun returned and persuaded him that he began eating something.
However, Mei Lang Jun wasn’t bothered about Grandpa’s secret stash; he didn’t feel as furious as his mother did. The only thing he disapproved of was Grandpa’s concealment.
Mei Langchi knew about these things and kept it from Junzi, clearly intending to leave them for Mei Langchi.
Clearly both are grandsons, yet the disparity in treatment was too stark.
Reflecting on these days, visiting Grandpa every day to bring meals and chat, he hadn’t seen Mei Langchi visiting even once. No matter what, Grandpa will always favor his eldest grandson.
Grandpa said the reason for Mei Langchi not visiting was due to being occupied with business ventures.
The narrative left Mei Lang Jun speechless, not only him but left Han Yi amused for quite a while.
Back when Mr. Mei and Old Mrs. Mei learned his wife was into business, their attitude wasn’t like this.
They don’t know what kind of business Mei Langchi is running, but it’s certain Old Mrs. Mei has given this grandson a substantial amount of money.
Despite grieving over lost items and finding no news from the police, when Mei Langchi sought money from Old Mrs. Mei, she handed it over without batting an eye.
Nonetheless, none of this made Mei Lang Jun sad; he wasn’t interested.
Lack of interest for him doesn’t mean his wife will let it rest. Upon learning yesterday that Old Mrs. Mei invested money for Mei Langchi to start a factory in this crucial time, Liang Qian was unhappy.
Early today she went to the old house to speak with Old Mrs. Mei, stating that Junzi is getting married soon and planning to renovate the newly bought courtyard house. They as a couple are indeed low on funds, hoping to borrow some from Old Mrs. Mei.
