Rebirth: I became rich by farming

Chapter 685: Chapter 685: The Farther The Better (1/2)

It must be said that Mei Yongfu is really quite calculating, but Mei Yinan really wanted to ask, "You want a son, a son, does your family have a throne to inherit? Your home is so poor it clangs, with just that one house, and now you don’t care about your own daughter either?"

Mei Yongfu was very displeased upon hearing Mei Yinan’s words. Out of concern for his reputation in front of Du Jing, he snapped back immediately, "Big sister could take care of Chenchen back then, since big sister is so kind-hearted, why not take care of Mengying for me too?"

For him, Mei Mengying was truly a burden now.

"I only took care of Chenchen because her parents died, she lost her mom, but her dad is alive, what’s the reason for this?" And also, Mei Yinan added, "If you can take care of your stepdaughter, why can’t you take care of your own daughter? Mei Mengying is your biological child."

Mei Yongfu grew even angrier and retorted, "Since big sister knows her dad is alive, then there’s no need to bother so much about her."

"Who would want to bother with you?" Mei Yinan was frustrated, her temper on the verge of exploding, while Du Jing had no good impression of this rather rude-speaking Mei Yinan. Annoyed, she tugged at Mei Yongfu’s sleeve and asked with a displeased face, "Who are these people?"

Indeed, the most important step before their marriage, the one that should have been taken, was completely skipped—the step of introducing each family member to one another.

Others might be negligible, but to think that even the big sister of the house, Mei Yinan, could be disregarded, bypassed directly to get married, you tell me, wouldn’t Mei Yinan be angry?

Mei Yinan immediately replied, "We are nobody, just neighbors passing by, the gift money has been given, let’s not keep in touch afterward."

After finishing her sentence, Mei Yinan picked up her bag and left without looking back. As soon as Mei Yinan moved, those who were seated naturally also got ready to leave. Seeing everyone’s intentions, Mei Yongfu felt a flicker of panic inside and hurriedly shouted, "Big sister, what do you mean by that? Are you really going to ignore your brothers and sisters just because you have money, just like third sister said?"

Mei Yinan straightened her body while holding her bag, facing Mei Yongfu she said, "Mei Yongfu, let me make it clear, I, your big sister, have always been wealthy. I didn’t ignore you before because I cared about sibling affection, but now I feel there’s no need, I have sibling affection for you, but it seems like you only see me as a cash machine. I will be moving to Jiangcheng, let’s not contact each other unless necessary."

After Mei Yinan left, the others who were already poised to go naturally followed.

Especially Mei Mengzhen, she had been ready to leave at any moment, her bag had always been on her back. When Mei Yinan took a step, she picked up her younger brother and left with him.

Seeing their brothers and sisters leaving decisively, not only was Mei Yongfu shocked, but even Mei Yifan was momentarily stunned. They exchanged glances, finding it hard to believe that their brothers and sisters were actually angry.

The two of them felt it absurd and said, "You’re just going to leave like that?"

Of course, Mei Yongfu wasn’t about to let everyone go. He quickly followed and grabbed his big sister’s arm, saying, "Big sister, what’s the meaning of this? It’s my wedding day, what am I supposed to do if you just leave?"

"What you do has nothing to do with me. Are you expecting me to marry on your behalf? Maybe I should bear your son for you too."

Mei Yongfu didn’t mean it that way, it’s just that he had arranged the banquet by head count. With these people walking out in a swarm, two tables suddenly became empty. Originally, as it was a second marriage, the number of guests wasn’t large to begin with. Now with even fewer, what would become of their wedding?

So, in this moment, Mei Yongfu still wasn’t aware of his own issues, his thoughts were still on his own face, and like Mei Yifan, he believed that even if they had a falling out with family, it wouldn’t matter. After all, they shared blood and would reconcile after not too long. Therefore, at this time, he was still making unreasonable demands, "At least finish eating, big sister. Otherwise, what would those empty tables look like?"

"What they look like is none of my concern, it’s not me getting married. Move aside and don’t block the path."

As Mei Yinan spoke, Fan Tianyu directly crossed over the crowd and stood between the siblings, meanwhile slapping down the hand that Mei Yongfu was using to grab Mei Yinan’s arm.

As everyone was about to start pulling on each other, the bride, Du Jing, hurriedly stepped out from inside, immediately drawing Mei Mengzhen’s attention. After all, Mei Mengzhen was standing at the back of the crowd and Du Jing could only stand at the back when she came over, thus the two of them ended up standing together.

Mei Mengzhen had no fondness for this person and being at the very center of the storm, in that instant, countless novel and TV drama scenarios flooded her mind. Things like someone taking a fall, a child being lost, or framing someone, in short, it was those kind of melodramatic plots popping up and Mei Mengzhen suddenly had a bad feeling.

She glanced at Du Jing next to her and, holding Mei Mengchen, quietly moved little by little toward the back, also pulling the somewhat agitated Fan Tianhua behind her to create distance between them and Du Jing. Fan Tianyu, being suddenly pulled back by her, was somewhat bewildered, and while he was still unsure of what was happening, she whispered, "I don’t know, my heart just suddenly raced. Follow my lead. It’s better to stay as far away from a pregnant woman as possible at times like this."

Fan Tianhua frowned and was about to say that Mei Mengzhen was being too sensitive when Du Jing screamed suddenly and fell down the stairs.

Mei Yongfu’s wedding banquet was on the first floor, and the spot of the scuffle was right by the first floor staircase, which wasn’t very high—only about 4 or 5 steps from the entrance to the bottom. If someone else had fallen, they might have just taken a fall, nothing fatal, but what if the person who fell was pregnant? Upon hearing the scream, everyone immediately ceased their noise and looked towards the source of the sound.

To their surprise, they saw Du Jing down on the ground. Mei Yongfu hadn’t expected it to be her, so he immediately pushed past Mei Yinan who was in his way. Mei Yinan staggered and nearly fell but managed to stabilize herself with the help of Fan Tianyu.

Rushing to Du Jing, Mei Yongfu anxiously asked, "Jingjing, what happened, how did you fall?"

Du Jing was so in pain that tears were about to fall, and she said, "Someone pushed me just now, Yongfu, my stomach hurts a bit."

"Call an ambulance, quick!" Mei Mengcheng took out his phone and dialed for an ambulance, but before the vehicle arrived, Mei Yongfu naturally had to inquire carefully, "Who pushed you? Did you see clearly?"

"It was two young girls, one tall and one short, the taller one even had a child with her."
