Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1023: Chapter 1024: Strutting Impressively

Chen Mengyi waved her hand, ”I’m not eating. Teacher Zhou said, once you arrive, we’ll visit the school’s cafeteria and classrooms together at noon, and we’ll go out to eat for lunch and dinner.”

”Take it.” Chiang Xiao pushed the snacks back into her hand, and Chen Mengyi thanked her and took them.

Duan Qingqing looked at Meng Donghai, who was practicing boxing in the courtyard, and pursed her lips.

Old Man Meng practiced boxing every morning without fail, come rain or shine, throughout the past year.

His health had clearly been declining before, especially when it got cold and windy, always complaining of discomfort here and there. But somehow, over the past year, he had become more spirited and started practicing boxing early every morning.

Duan Qingqing saw this and naturally felt uncomfortable.

Old thing, why just won’t he die?

Of course, she would never dare to say that in front of Meng Chaojun.

After Meng Donghai’s health improved, he disciplined his son more like he was disciplining a grandson, often scolding Meng Chaojun until he couldn’t even lift his head.

Ironically, the night she ran out, followed by Meng Chaojun, the incident when Meng Donghai fainted was later told to Meng Chaojun by that dead woman from the Chen Family.

Meng Chaojun could at least be considered a filial son. After hearing about the incident, he felt guilty and frightened, constantly thinking that if something had happened to Old Meng that night, he truly wouldn’t have had the face to continue living.

So, from then on, to avoid upsetting Old Man Meng, no matter what he was scolded for, Meng Chaojun took it all and didn’t talk back, afraid of triggering another serious episode in his father.

Tch, with Old Man Meng looking like that, how could he be so frail? How could he get worked up to death?

Ironically, it was because Old Man Meng was holding him back that Meng Chaojun didn’t dare to bring up Meng Xinian’s issues for the past year.

The guy had been promoted to Officer, and who knew how much higher he could climb in the future.

And yet, she still didn’t have any news to share about her pregnancy.

”Oh, Uncle Meng is in good shape, eh? That boxing looks pretty impressive!”

A voice brought Duan Qingqing back to her senses.

Duan Qingqing looked outside, just in time to see her elder brother and sister-in-law walking into the courtyard.

Today was the day she had invited them over for tea, which was the only reason she hadn’t gone out. Otherwise, on such a wonderful Sunday, she would have been loath to stay at home, exchanging glares with Meng Donghai and despising each other.

However, she used to always leave, but now she had changed her mind; she wouldn’t leave. She wanted to host guests often at home, letting Meng Donghai see who would ultimately be the master of this house!

Old Meng glanced at Duan Feian and Kuang Hong, continued his boxing, and ignored them.

He didn’t care much for anyone from the Duan Family, except Duan Qingqing’s younger sister, who seemed more pleasing to the eye, but alas, she too was from the Duan Family.

Kuang Hong also pursed her lips, entered the living room, and whispered to Duan Qingqing, ”Qingie, this old man always looks at us as if we’re nothing. Why did you even invite us over? We might as well have gone to a teahouse to sit for a while.”

”Sister-in-law, big brother, please sit. This is my house, why should I go out?” Duan Qingqing smiled faintly, asked them to sit down, and then said, ”I invited you over because I know sister-in-law loves to drink tea. A few days ago, someone sent Chaojun a can of good tea, and I wanted you to come over and try it.”

”Meng Chaojun with his old-fashioned personality,” Kuang Hong lowered her voice, ”is willing to accept gifts now?”

Duan Qingqing’s eyes flashed, and she smiled slightly.

Kuang Hong and Duan Feian immediately understood.
