Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Yi Meng Persuades Her Mother-in-law

“I think you really have lost your mind after having kids.”

Mrs. Qi said irritably, “Think about it, if it was really just that she wasn’t interested, would Mrs. Liu Sr. have specifically asked Qinghe to come over and say that?”

Yi Meng was speechless.

There was really no way for her to respond to that.

Mrs. Qi sighed again after speaking, “Such a good girl, hasn’t she been able to find someone since growing up? Do you think it could be some hidden health issue, so the guy’s family disagreed?”

Such a conspiracy theory, is it really okay?

Yi Meng resisted the urge to roll her eyes and patiently persuaded, “Mom, if the girl hears what you’re saying, wouldn’t she be hurt?”

After speaking, Yi Meng glanced outside the window.

Mrs. Qi suddenly snapped back to reality, quickly looked over, and only when she saw no one was there did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Yi Meng continued, “When it comes to matchmaking, it must be mutual for it to qualify as such.”

“We’ve only seen the Liu Family’s little sister once or twice; it doesn’t count. But that doesn’t mean the previous marriage discussion didn’t work out because of her. It could very well be the guy’s family’s issue too!”

Yi Meng felt the need to pull her mother-in-law out of her stubborn thinking: “For example, if the guy’s family had problems, or if the boy wasn’t in good health, or the family wasn’t good, or…”

After a pause, Yi Meng spoke in an even lower voice, “The family might have had some misfortune and was ruined?”

“Huh?”

Mrs. Qi hadn’t considered this possibility, her face changed, and she slapped Yi Meng’s leg, scolding, “You girl, you can say anything, huh? You can’t just spout nonsense about what might have happened to others!”

“Mom, I’m not speaking nonsense, we’re just reasoning things out.”

Yi Meng didn’t get angry even when slapped, but she quietly withdrew her leg from next to her mother-in-law.

The old lady’s strength wasn’t just for show; it’s no wonder she can carry Qi Manman, who’s a few years old, around.

Mrs. Qi’s mind was entirely on the Liu family girl’s previous matchmaking matter and did not notice Yi Meng’s subtle action.

“Mom, we’re not saying this to harm anyone; we’re stating facts. If it’s not a problem with the Liu family but with the guy’s family, would you still mind that the Liu family girl had a previous marriage discussion?”

Yi Meng held Mrs. Qi’s hand, her voice softening, “Mom, you know everything about my sisters-in-law’s families. But you didn’t know about me at the time.”

“Would you have allowed me to marry Brother Jin if you were worried I had a problem back then?”

Yi Meng decided to use herself as an example.

She had no choice; when she transmigrated, she had no memories and was not in good health. She was rescued and brought back to the Qi Family by Qi Quanjin who happened to pass by.

The Qi Family was living a hard life back then but still took her in as an orphan.

Without the Qi Family taking her in, Yi Meng felt she might have been the shortest-lived transmigrator experience.

In all this, Mrs. Qi, the decision-maker in the family, was crucial and most important.

At the time, the old lady never despised her for being an orphan, and if given enough time to think it over, she would likely not consider Liu Meiniang’s past to be a problem either.

Mrs. Qi immediately retorted with wide eyes, “Can she be compared with you? How long did you live in the house before marrying the fourth one? Mom saw what kind of person you were, otherwise you wouldn’t have been let in!”

Though she liked the Liu Family’s little sister, no matter if she was married into the family, it wouldn’t shake the position of the fourth daughter-in-law in her heart!

Mrs. Qi understood where her loyalties lay!

“Mom is still the one who loves me most.”

Yi Meng leaned against Mrs. Qi, hugged her arm, resting her head on her shoulder, “Mom, I think we should get the facts straight. If there really is a problem with the Liu family girl, we can refuse then.”

“But look at us now, knowing nothing and already dismissing the Liu family girl, isn’t it unfair to her?”

“Moreover, the Liu family is also going to live in the village, if this turns sour, how will both families get along? How will Brother Jin and Brother Liu get along?”

Yi Meng persuaded her mother-in-law to give the other side a chance.

Mrs. Qi remained silent for quite a while before saying, “Then should I call them over to ask carefully?”

“Yes, ask them! No matter what, let’s see what their family has to say first.”

Yi Meng suddenly thought of something and said, “In the afternoon, when Second Brother comes back with information, we can compare notes to get to the truth.”

“Right, right, they’re also making inquiries.”

Mrs. Qi just realized this, slapped her leg, and was about to get up but felt the weight on her arm. She impatiently tapped the arm hugging hers, “Why are you clinging in this hot weather? Aren’t you feeling hot? Let go! I can’t be bothered by anyone else when I am being bothered by you!”

The disdain in her words was obvious, but Yi Meng didn’t take it seriously, shaking her head playfully, “Bothering or not, I just like to be close to mom.”

“Alright, you are the mother of four children, how can you still be acting childish, shame on you?”

Mrs. Qi rolled her eyes at Yi Meng, “Let go of me already, I’ll go get Qinghe, this needs to be clarified quickly, otherwise I’ll never have peace of mind.”

“Alright, Mom, take your time, don’t rush, there’s always a way to find out the truth.”

Yi Meng no longer clung to the old lady, gave her some advice, and then leaned over the windowsill watching the old lady walk away, sighed helplessly, shook her head, and went back to tidy up the bed.

Mrs. Qi was indeed anxious, as soon as she arrived at the front yard, she called for Qi Wulang to run an errand and call someone over.

Qi Wulang was memorizing the names of medicinal herbs when he heard his grandmother calling him; he instinctively looked over at Mr. Qin in front.

Qin Minglang also heard and nodded to Qi Wulang, allowing him to get up and head to the door.

As soon as he got out the door, he ran in the direction of his grandmother while asking, “Grandma, what’s the matter?”

“Go find your Uncle Liu in the village and tell him grandmother has something urgent.”

Mrs. Qi said, patting her grandson’s back, “Run slower, don’t fall.”

“Got it!”

Qi Wulang didn’t ask about the matter, he just bolted towards the gate.

Liu Qinghe felt quite troubled after leaving the Qi family.

He understood Mrs. Qi Sr.’s reaction, but he felt even more sympathetic towards his little sister.

The oldest Qi boy is a good young man, and the Qi Family is commendable. If they could really become in-laws, Liu Qinghe felt his little sister would be falling into a fortune nest.

But…

Thinking about his master’s family made Liu Qinghe feel worse.

When Qi Quanjin finally saw him, he laughed and said, “Brother Liu, haven’t you sobered up from yesterday’s drinks?”

“Huh?”

Liu Qinghe snapped back to reality, realizing he wasn’t far from Qi Quanjin. Startled, he replied awkwardly with a smile, “A bit, getting older, my tolerance isn’t what it used to be.”
