Chapter 1124
Chapter 1124
At noon, the courtyard of the Meng family was filled with laughter and joy. Two tables were set up, all of which were for the Meng family members.
Grandma Meng was not in good health and did not attend. Grandpa Meng sat in the main seat, looking at the whole family sitting together and laughing with joy on his face.
As he grew older, he cherished the family gathering together and the lively family moments more and more.
With the laughter and the sound of plates colliding, the family dinner lasted until after 2 pm.
Shi Danfeng and Qiu Shuyi helped to clean up the dishes. With more people, there was more power. The messy kitchen just now became clean and tidy in a short while.
Several aunts and aunts were about to sit down and chat, when there was a sudden sound of a hurried motorcycle outside the courtyard, followed by Qiao Shangdong's unfriendly voice: "Meng Yu, come out!"
Meng Yu had just sat down, and her face immediately became ugly when she heard this voice. She guessed that Qiao Shangdong knew she would come and would definitely come to her door.
Meng Yu looked at Meng Guangzhu nervously and said, "Dachuan, go open the door for your dad."
Meng Guangzhu lit a pot of dry tobacco and took a deep puff. Meng Haisheng, who was standing by, didn't know the situation and stood up. "Sister, why did Qiao Shangdong come?"
"I came back this time to change the surnames of the two children." Meng Yu explained.
"Oh? Didn't you change it when you divorced?"
"Qiao Shangdong has always disagreed, so he kept delaying."
From Meng Yu's words, Meng Haisheng guessed the reason. The key to the problem is still money.
When Mr. Shi died and the family was divided, Meng Hai took the old house of the Shi family, and Meng Yu got a large sum of cash. Qiao Shangdong must know this money.
Qiao Shangdong is not really worried about the children's surnames. What he really cares about is the large sum of money in Meng Yu's hands.
If the children change their surnames, then these properties have nothing to do with Qiao Shangdong. This should be the biggest reason for his entanglement with Meng Yu.
As for the so-called love, after so many years of twists and turns, it has been worn away by life, leaving only the entanglement of interests.
The courtyard door slowly opened, and Dachuan looked at Qiao Shangdong with a cold and hard look in his eyes and said, "Dad."
"Stinky boy, now you know I'm your dad. I called you, why didn't you answer?" Qiao Shangdong walked into the yard arrogantly, and when he saw the Meng family in the yard, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled triumphantly.
"I came here today to clarify the matter of changing the surnames of the two children in front of everyone."
He looked directly at Meng Haisheng, "Haishen is back too, it's a good opportunity for you to judge. Your sister wants to change my son's surname. Isn't this deliberately trying to cut off our Qiao family's lineage?"
"It is said that there are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and having no descendants is the worst. She is trying to force me to death." Qiao Shangdong strode to Meng Haisheng, pulled a chair and sat down, "Today, let's make this matter clear. When she married me, she didn't invite a live-in son-in-law. How can she have the nerve to say that she wants to change her surname?"
Qiao Shangdong talked endlessly, portraying himself as extremely pitiful, as if Meng Yu's decision to change the child's surname was a heinous crime.
Meng Yu was about to speak, but was suppressed by Meng Haisheng. He looked at Qiao Shangdong coldly: "Today is the day for my family to have a party. You chose this time to come and make trouble, which is to give my Meng family no face."
"Let's find a suitable day to let the elders of the Qiao family come together to sit down and talk it out."
Meng Haisheng has always been steady in doing things. He knew that only Qiao Shangdong came today, and it would be more troublesome if the Qiao family made trouble later.
Recalling the dispute between the Meng family and the Qiao family in the early years, he decided to solve it all at once so that the Qiao family would have no excuse to make trouble later.
"No, we must make things clear today."
Qiao Shangdong directly acted like a rogue. He thought that as long as he was right, he could do whatever he wanted in the Meng family, and even use the surnames of the two children as a threat to extort a sum of money from the Meng family.
At this moment, Qiao Shangdong still thought that Meng Haisheng was the person who could talk to him peacefully 10 years ago.
He did not realize that ten years of time was enough to change many things and people's personalities.
In Meng Haisheng's eyes, Qiao Shangdong was just like an ant. He no longer had the patience to talk nonsense with him.
Meng Haisheng gave Zhang Lei a look. Two bodyguards quickly stepped forward, carried Qiao Shangdong out and threw him out.
"Look, this is the Meng family, not a place where you can act wild. If you want to talk, bring your elders. Otherwise, get out!"
Meng Haisheng stood at the door, expressionless, but his voice was as cold as ice, which made Qiao Shangdong shiver.
"Meng, Meng Haisheng, don't go too far!"
"Get out."
Meng Haisheng glared at him, Qiao Shangdong didn't dare to say anything, and was so scared that he quickly got on his motorcycle.The motorcycle ran away in a flash.
He has always been a bully, and he was afraid of Meng Haisheng's black face.
Meng Haisheng closed the door and turned around to see Meng Yu secretly wiping tears.
"Sister, you have the Meng family as your backer, so don't be afraid of Qiao Shangdong. We have seen everything he has done over the years."
"Dachuan and Xiaochuan have grown up and can distinguish right from wrong. They know what kind of person Qiao Shangdong is."
"Don't worry, we will definitely stand on your side."
Meng Yu's eyes were filled with tears, and tears could not stop flowing.
When she was young, she had a deep relationship with Qiao Shangdong. At that time, they knew little about love, and in order to be together, the two eloped at all costs.
At that time, they were so poor that they could only live in other people's garages, and they often couldn't even eat. Sometimes, the two children cried with hunger.
Even so, Meng Yu at that time never thought of leaving Qiao Shangdong.
But later, life got better and better. The two should have worked hard together to live a better life, but Qiao Shangdong was too ambitious and had an affair, which made their life a mess and ended in divorce.
At that time, she thought that it was a good result for them to live well.
Who knew that Qiao Shangdong would eventually break up with her.
Recalling the fate of more than 20 years with Qiao Shangdong, Meng Yu felt as if it was just a dream.
Being overwhelmed by Qiao Shangdong's sudden appearance, everyone dispersed.
Meng Haisheng took Meng Yu and the two children to the room and asked in detail what Qiao Shangdong had done over the years.
"I think my dad is completely crazy. He goes to school every few days to inquire about the family situation. At first, I thought he wanted to remarry my mother and was very happy. But later I found that he asked about money."
When Xiaochuan mentioned Qiao Shangdong, he was full of resentment.
