It is said that things change over time. No one would have thought that Meng Ruyue and her two siblings were driven out of the old Meng family for only about three months. Not only did they not starve to death, but they even became prosperous. How could the group of shrewd vampires in the old Meng family be willing to accept this? Seeing the house at the end of the village changing day by day, they felt as if they were being pawed by a cat.

"Grandpa, that little bitch Meng Ruyue only has a few of them, and yet she built her house so high, deliberately wanting the villagers to laugh at us. You better think of a solution! How can those three bastards live in such a nice house? They should be given to our family so that Grandpa and Grandma can live there and enjoy themselves." Meng Wenxiu's eyes were full of calculation, and his face was ferocious and full of resentment. "And I heard that little bastard Meng Anping has also gone to the academy in town to study. How can he deserve it?"

"Dad, Wenxiu is right. That's a big house. We can't just give it away to that little bitch. Wenfeng is the only scholar in our village. He's trying to raise money to take the imperial examination. How can we let that little bastard Meng Anping waste Wenfeng's money on his studies?"

Mrs. Hu is greedy and stupid. She suffered a loss along with her son last time, but she still forgets the punishment and shamelessly claims other people's money as her own. Now, when it comes to Ru Yue's family, she still talks about it and instigates Mr. Meng with saliva flying.

"His father, I think Wenxiu and her mother are right. Even if that dead girl left and our family became rich, they can't just ignore us. Even if his father were still alive, he would have built such a big house and taken us in to live out our retirement and enjoy a peaceful life." Old Mrs. Meng's face was full of wrinkles, and the calculation in her eyes revealed a vicious light from her drooping eyelids, which made people shudder.

Old Master Meng was tapping the stem of his pipe, his face wrinkled like old tree bark, gloomy and dark, his cloudy old eyes so cold that it seemed as if water could drip out of them. He glanced at his children and grandchildren present, and finally his eyes fell on Meng Wenfeng's face.

"What do you think about Wenfeng?"

Meng Wenfeng's eyes flashed with resentment. Last time, he was beaten and scolded by Ru Yue in front of the whole village, which made him cruel to her. Now, seeing them building a big house, he was even more jealous. He wanted to strangle them to death so that the house could be his immediately.

"Grandpa, if Third Uncle was still there, the house would naturally belong to our family, but now they have split up and are living separately, and there's that kid named Chu who is instigating us. We have to plan carefully and we must not end up losing more than we gained like we did the last two times."

Hearing this, Old Master Meng was very satisfied. "Well, Wenfeng is right. We really need to plan this carefully." He paused, lit his pipe, took two puffs, and said, "Think it over carefully. If anyone has any ideas, please share them. This is all for our family. You all should know that as long as Wenfeng passes the exam, we will all live a good life."

It was fortunate that Ru Yue gave her mule cart to Zhang Erqiang right after she bought it, otherwise the only mule cart in the village would have kept the vampires from the old Meng family worried about it and they couldn't sleep.

Everyone in the room, young and old, was silent, racking their brains to plan Ru Yue's new house.

"Dad, there's nothing to think about. Mom, my second brother and his wife and I will go to her shabby straw hut, hug her and cry, and say that we know we were wrong. The three of them are still young and can't let others deceive them. We will bring them all back to our home and move in when the new house is built. No one will dare to say anything if we don't let that little bastard go to school!" It must be said that the stupid man's stupid tricks came quickly. Hu relied on the fact that she was Meng Wenfeng's biological mother, and she was able to jump around in old Meng's house after making stupid mistakes several times.

"It's hard to fool that damn girl now. She has that Chu kid backing her up. They won't be convinced just by this."

"Dad, I do have an idea, but I don't know if it will work." Meng Laoer's wife leaned against her husband and said slowly.

"Go ahead, everyone listen."

"It was my eldest sister-in-law who kicked them out in the first place. They must be angry too. Why don't we let Mom take my eldest sister-in-law to their house to mediate? We can all say nice things to them. I guess the half-grown kids will calm down and come back with us."

The second daughter-in-law of Meng Laoer is really a smart person. She said half of the things and kept the other half. She wanted to let Mrs. Hu take the blame and put all the blame on her, but she didn't want to offend Mrs. Hu and Meng Wenfeng, so she could only give them a warning.

As expected, Meng Wenfeng became excited when he heard it. He didn't care about his own mother anymore. As long as he could get the advantage, it didn't matter to him who else was embarrassed. After a discussion, he dressed Hu up to look pitiful and regretful. He was afraid that his mother would say something without restraint, so he taught her how to respond. Then he asked Mrs. Meng and the wife of the second son of Meng to take Hu to the thatched shed at the end of the village.
