“I can’t give you an answer to this question, Grandpa. I have to deal with the affairs of the Green Gang and the Liu family. I will definitely spend a lot of time in the Green Gang, but I will try my best to come here too.” Chen Meng’er was telling the truth. Although she had a mutated brain, which allowed her to do twice the work with half the effort in dealing with everything, the Green Gang was a big gang, and there were a lot of things to take care of.
“Elder Liu is really something. How old do you think you are? He’s still young and healthy. He’ll be fine for another ten or so years. How could he put such a heavy burden on you so early on?” Elder Qu couldn’t help but feel sorry for his precious granddaughter’s small body. “I’ll have to tell Elder Liu about it later. It’s the time for you to grow your body, you can’t be tired.”
Qu Yaotian and the rest rushed back. When they walked into the backyard, they saw their father talking to Chen Meng’er with a kind face. Other than Qu Yaobing’s wife, the rest of the wives had their heads lowered, they looked at the side obediently.
What was going on? Qu Yaotian and the rest of the brothers looked at each other. They didn’t know what was going on. Qu Yaotian, who was the eldest brother, took the lead. “Dad, Mom, we’re back. Dad, why did you ask Uncle Zhao to call us and ask us to rush back? Is there something urgent?”
“Yeah, what’s the urgent matter? Tell me. I was in the middle of a meeting when I received your call and rushed back.” Qu Yaotao smiled and said.
“Hmph, what’s the matter? You can ask your wives yourself,” Elder Qu glared at his sons and said angrily.
“What’s wrong? Did Feiying and the others make you unhappy?” Qu Yaotao still had a cheeky smile on his face. He thought that his wife would not do anything serious.
However, Qu Yaotao’s actions had hit the mark. After Qu Yaotao finished speaking, Qu Haoxiang could not help but raise his head to look at his third uncle.
“Be more serious. Ask your wife what she has done. I’m still here. The Qu family is still surnamed Qu and I still have the final say.” The anger in Elder Qu’s heart had never been extinguished.
Looking at his own father’s furious look, Qu Yaotao also put away his cheeky smile. He turned to his wife Cao Feiying and asked, “What did you do to make dad so angry?”
Cao Feiying shut her mouth tightly and did not say a word. What could she say? Whatever she said now would be wrong.
Elder Qu knew that his daughters-in-law did not dare say anything in front of him.
“I didn’t know that our family still had so many people who did not welcome Meng’er’s return. Or do you think that Meng’er’s return to the Qu family is blocking your path? Is she taking away a portion of the Qu family’s property that belongs to you? I called you brothers back today because I feel that there are some things that I should say in front of everyone. I still have the final say in this Qu family. As for when I’m old and unable to do anything, who the Qu family will be handed over to, it’s also up to me. I might as well tell you that when the time comes, it’s not impossible for me to hand the Qu family over to Meng’er,” Elder Qu said, his sharp eyes scanned the surroundings.
When Han Ying, Cao Feiying and the rest heard Elder Qu’s words, they raised their heads in shock.
And Chen Meng’er was also surprised that Elder Qu would actually say such words and have such thoughts.
Cao Feiying was angry extremely aggrieved.
Not to mention that she had been reprimanded by her grandfather in front of everyone and lost face. After returning to the room, she thought that her husband Qu Yaotao would at least say a few words to comfort her. However, she never expected that when she returned to the room, Qu Yaotao, who was usually happy and easy to talk to, would actually put on a straight face and give her a fierce scolding.
Until now, her husband Qu Yaotao’s words were playing back in her ears, “Cao Feiying, I don’t care how you want to help your family, but I won’t allow you to plot against our family. Meng’er is our parents’ precious granddaughter, so she is our family’s precious child. In the future, if you see her again and dare provoke her, I won’t help you at that time. Also, in our family, the relationship between my brothers has been very good since we were young. So, don’t even think about it. Everything in the Qu family is up to my father now. As for what will happen in the future, that is also up to my father to decide. Even if he really hands the Qu family over to Meng’er in the future, the few of us will not have any objections.”
Qu Yaotao’s words were hitting his wife like bullets.
That night, not only did Qu Yaotao scold his wife, the few other brothers in the Qu family also closed the door and scolded their wives.
The few brothers of the Qu family usually doted on their wives, but in the face of such important matters, they did not hesitate at all.
Chen Meng’er did not know that this night was a sleepless night for many members of the Qu family. Especially for Han Ying and the others, they had been reprimanded by their husbands, even though they nodded their heads on the surface, they could not fall asleep no matter how hard they lay on the bed. Especially Han Ying. She had always felt that their family had the possibility of taking over the Qu family. Her husband was the most likely to become the next head of the Qu family. That was because her husband, Qu Yaotian, was the eldest son of the Qu family.
And tonight, her father-in-law and her husband’s words had woken her up. But, how could she be reconciled in her heart? Her family had always hoped that her husband would take over the Qu family. Otherwise, how could she have such a high position in the Han family?
No matter what Han Ying and the others thought about what Elder Qu had said tonight. Chen Meng’er couldn’t avoid it.
The Liu family had a lot of miscellaneous matters in the Green Gang. If the Qu family was added to the mix, Chen Meng’er would be terrified just thinking about it. She didn’t want to stay at home all day at such a young age and have endless things to deal with.
