Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me-Chapter 883 - 712: Love Crosses Mountains and Rivers, Love Is a Lifelong Obsession [58]_4
Inside, Mai Shixiong’s wife Chen Chunmei said, "It’s not just about not letting us live, they almost drove Ah Xiang to death, and crippled Atun. The Feng Family is simply too much! If this continues, Qiu Mingyan might just forget his conscience for that woman and kill the entire Mai Family who have been the most kind to him!"
In the main room, everyone, big and small, was filled with righteous anger. Naturally, the little children, a few years old, of Atun were also wailing, "Auntie, what does crippled mean? Will my dad not be able to stand up anymore?"
Chen Chunmei, fed up with the noise, scolded, "Why are you crying? Is it your turn to cry now?"
Yang Hua became more anxious, "Chunmei, what do you mean by that! Those are my grandsons and granddaughters, what’s wrong with them crying when my son is like this? And isn’t your Ah Shan all right?"
Chen Chunmei retorted angrily, "What do you mean by that? Do you think Ah Shan should also be harmed? Am I not helping you speak up or what? Why do you have to curse me like that?"
In the mountain village, disputes and tearing at each other were common among sisters-in-law.
Especially when everyone was irritable, driven to resentment by that suddenly intruding woman.
A single word led to more fierce quarrelling between the two people.
Lin Cuixia got anxious and joined in, "What are you arguing about? This is my house!"
Yang Hua, "Isn’t it your daughter who gave Atun the bad idea that harmed him? I haven’t even confronted you about it yet! And I’m the elder, you little one, who are you yelling at?"
Chen Chunmei, "What? You think you can’t argue in your house? Second Sister-in-law, listen to what the Eldest Sister-in-law says!"
"Enough!"
It wasn’t until a harsh shout from Mai Shilong, who couldn’t take it anymore, that the scene finally quieted down.
The chaos was silenced to the point of piercing their ears.
The light bulb overhead swayed slightly with a gust of wind, casting shadows—making every face flicker in brightness and darkness—they all felt a little intimidated. After all, facing Mai Shilong, the most authoritative figure in the Mai family, they did not dare to act recklessly.
In Chen Family Village for so many years, Mai Shilong was not only the village head but also a trusted figure in many decisions.
He knocked his pipe gently, always smoking, not saying a word, and then glanced back at the inner room.
At this moment, everyone also returned their attention to the main subject—Mai Manxiang. Yes, talk of compensation or gratitude comes later; without sealing the family alliance, none of it counts, does it?
Everyone’s heart was heavy.
They knew the time had come to make a final decision.
In the inner room, Mai Manxiang propped herself up, staring in despair and emptiness out the window.
She woke up, but it would have been better if she hadn’t, especially after hearing the heartbreaking news today. The Feng Family had come again. This time, they were here to take Brother Mingyan away for good, weren’t they?
She couldn’t describe the loneliness in her heart, only feeling the gaze of the entire family.
With a pale face, she looked at her father.
Mai Shilong was also in a complicated mood at the moment. His chapped lips opened, and he uttered, "Ah Xiang..."
Mai Manxiang immediately replied firmly, "I don’t agree."
Mai Shilong’s heart grew heavier, and with drooping eyes, he said, "Ah Xiang, there’s no way now."
This ignited all of Mai Manxiang’s spirit.
With tears streaming down her face, she cried bitterly.
"No way? What do you mean by no way! Brother Mingyan clearly stayed here because he saw me trying to kill myself. He’s stayed, and even during these days when I’ve been in tears, he didn’t dare return to the Mai family’s yard! Just one more step, just push him a bit more, and he’ll definitely agree!"
"But didn’t the Feng Family come again?" Mai Shilong’s voice was twisted with sorrow, unspeakably unsure of what to say.
Mai Manxiang spoke amidst more flowing tears, "But it’s not impossible either, just as long as he hasn’t left, there’s still a chance. He owes our family a debt of gratitude, and their family for generations has owed our Chen Family Village a debt. This logic is sound anywhere, right? He needs to repay his debt, so he should marry me, right?"
For a moment, Mai Shilong really didn’t know what else to say.
Mai Manxiang then cried out, "Dad! Push him one more time! Just one more push and he’ll definitely marry me! None of us can do it, but he listens to you! It was you who originally broke the engagement, and as long as you affirm the engagement is valid, how could he go back on it! Dad, I’m begging you!"
Mai Manxiang shouted with her loudest voice since childhood, and also shed the most tears.
That look of love-driven despair made everyone watching feel a bit of heartache.
